In addition to the Five Great Nations of fire, wind, water, lightning, and Land of Earth, the Allied Shinobi Forces also included the Land of Iron, which had always been peaceful and neutral.
Madara Uchiha's forceful capture of the Tailed Beast in the Land of Iron, resulting in the deaths of Jinchūriki from Iwagakure, greatly enraged Mifune, the Mifune leader of the Land of Iron.
It seemed to be a mysterious force, or perhaps Kabuto Yakushi Obito Uchiha disdained a sneak attack. Instead, they relied on the massive numbers of White Zetsu generated from the Hashirama Cells to create an army of large numbers, with only a small number appearing at the intersection of the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning, where they were detected by scouts from the Five Great Nations.
The Five Kage and the Mifune of the Land of Iron became the main commanders of the Allied Shinobi Forces.
The various ninja armies set out and joined forces in the mountainous region where the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning meet.
On the earthen hill, as Hokage Tsunade, Raikage A, Tsuchikage Ōnoki, Mizukage Mei Terumi, and Kazekage Gaara appeared, the countless, neatly arranged Allied Shinobi Forces below cheered!
Darui, the captain of the First Division, the right-hand man of A, the Raikage A of Kumogakure, and the sole inheritor of the Third Raikage's Black Lightning Release, possesses the Kekkei Genkai Storm Release!
Captain of the Second Division, Kitsuchi of Iwagakure, son of Tsuchikage Ōnoki!
Captain of the Third Division, Konoha Copy Ninja Kakashi Hatake!
Captain of the Fourth Division, and commander of all combat units, Kazekage Gaara! In this timeline, Gaara, under Xiao Tian's special tutelage, is not as powerful as the even more eccentric Sasuke and Naruto, but Gaara from the original timeline.
Captain of the Fifth Division, Mifune, leader of the warriors of the Land of Iron!
The ninjas from various villages were scattered and assigned to suitable teams based on their abilities. However, due to some disputes and grudges between the villages, friction inevitably occurred.
This area can be considered Gaara's home turf. With his mental control over the sand, he prevented many ninjas from engaging in physical conflict.
"Stop it, all of you!"
"I know that the ninjas from each village have loved ones who died at the hands of ninjas from other villages. But since Allied Shinobi Forces have formed this alliance, it means we must put aside past grudges and work together to fight Madara Uchiha. If you continue with this mindset and cannot let go of past hatred, you will not only fail to kill enemies in battle, but you will also be almost wiped out when you encounter Madara Uchiha's White Zetsu army!"
"Do you really want to let your homeland be trampled to pieces by Madara Uchiha's White Zetsu army? Do your loved ones and friends waiting for your return only to receive news of your deaths, or even perish alongside you? Has the Shinobi World fallen under Madara Uchiha? Is there no place left for us to live in this world?"
Gaara has entered his Talk no Jutsu " mode; since losing the One-Tail Shukaku, he has gained many insights.
"I used to hate my village and my father. I was afraid to sleep because if I did, the Shukaku inside me would wreak havoc on the village and kill innocent people! Until I met two people!"
"First, he appeared before me like an angel with candy, bringing me a beautiful meaning in life. Second, he was also Jinchūriki like me, and had suffered the Byakugan, ridicule, and even disdain of many people in the village. But he was hardworking and optimistic. He once told me that his father was the Hokage, and that his parents had sacrificed themselves for the village. They were heroes, and as the descendant of heroes, he had a duty to protect the Tailed Beast sealed within his body, the property his parents had sacrificed for, to inherit their will, to become the Hokage, and to protect the village..."
"And I failed to protect the Tailed Beast within me, but I will fight to the death to protect the land upon which our ninja village depends for its survival!"
At this moment, countless eyes were fixed on the Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, and they put aside their past grudges.
"Defend our homeland! Madara Uchiha! Restore peace to the Shinobi World!"
