"Report!"
"The Fifth Division has defeated the enemy's Impure World Reincarnation Ninja squad and is now rushing to reinforce the main battlefield!"
The Liaison Unit promptly reported developments on each battlefield to Shihōin Naraku and the Staff Department for their assessment.
"Good. Tell them to move faster!"
"Yes!"
"Once they've sealed the Impure World Reincarnation Ninja, there's no need to clear the battlefield. Order them to pick up the pace!"

This made the Second Division's journey to provide reinforcements much simpler and easier.
At least there were not as many complications.
If their predictions were correct, apart from the Surprise
