"Everyone, charge at full speed!"
"Break through the enemy's defenses immediately! We have to reinforce Lord Kakashi as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
After a long trek, Tatami Iwashi finally reached the Main Battlefield with several thousand ninja.
They had only just entered the battlefield when they prepared to launch a fierce assault and wipe out the White Zetsu, so they could join up with Kakashi and the others as quickly as possible.
"Wait-"
Before the fighting had even begun, Tatami Iwashi suddenly froze and raised his hand. The ninja behind him immediately halted at his command.
"What... what's going on here?"
The already puzzled Allied Shinobi Forces saw the scene before them and wore the same expression as Tatami Iwashi.
What was going on?
Why did these White Zetsu look like they were fleeing in every direction?
Tatami Iwashi took a tentative step forward and was surprised to discover that the nearby White Zetsu either swiftly retreated in unison or sank into the ground and disappeared.
Not a single one took the initiative to fight him!
These monsters were actually avoiding combat!
Why?
Never mind. Forget that for now.
Whatever the case, joining up with Lord Kakashi as soon as possible was what mattered most.
"Follow me!"
Tatami Iwashi charged out first, and the several thousand ninja behind him started running as well.
As they rushed onto the battlefield, the White Zetsu Army parted to either side like waves being pushed apart, showing no intention of fighting them at all.
Now Tatami Iwashi was certain. The enemy truly had no intention of continuing the battle. They really were preparing to retreat.
Was it because they had seen the Allied Shinobi Forces' reinforcements arrive and knew they could no longer achieve their objective, so they had chosen to retreat?
*That might
