Seven thousand ninja against twenty thousand White Zetsu and an unknown number of Impure World Reincarnation Ninja!
This would be a hard battle!
It could even be called perilous in the extreme; the slightest mistake could lead to a crushing defeat.
But Tatami Iwashi still accepted the assignment without hesitation. To him, any assignment Kakashi Hatake gave him was an absolute order.
He could only carry it out, not refuse!
Of course, Kakashi was not sending Tatami Iwashi and these seven thousand ninja to their deaths.
First of all, the Allied Shinobi Forces had already made extensive preparations at their defensive positions. All kinds of traps were ready, just waiting for the enemy to come.
With a little luck, they might be able to stop the enemy with these defensive measures alone.
And the chances of accomplishing that were by no means small.
After all, when it came to combat strength alone, White Zetsu still fell far short of ninja.
But the Akatsuki also knew White Zetsu's shortcomings, which was why they had Impure World Reincarnation Ninja working alongside them.
The White Zetsu served as expendable troops, while the Impure World Reincarnation Ninja primarily dealt with elite ninja.
Working together, the two posed a considerable threat to the Allied Shinobi Forces. It was not hard to imagine them inflicting heavy losses if the allied forces let their guard slip even slightly.
Still, as the commander of these seven thousand ninja, Tatami Iwashi genuinely had no objections.
Kakashi might have taken more men-fifteen thousand out of their total of twenty-two thousand-and appeared to have the numerical advantage, even taking quite a few elite ninja with him.
But in reality, the situation he faced was even more difficult!
Tatami Iwashi had to face over twenty thousand enemy troops with seven thousand men,
