This genius, whose strength is unknown in the original work, is said to be able to wield seven Ninja Blade, but no one has ever witnessed his true power.
As it turns out, the reputation of genius was not unfounded.
Hozuki Mangetsu's talent was no less than, and perhaps even greater than, that of Kisame Hoshigaki, who later became the most outstanding Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist of the Mist.
Aside from these people, Killer B Mei Terumi are also Kage Level shikigami, with destructive power approaching the Peak Kage Level.
After all, they already possess Kage Level strength, and with the added enhancement of suitable Devil Fruit, the destructive power they cause on the battlefield is definitely at the Peak Kage Level.
At the same time, Kumogakure also possesses three Tailed Beast.
Four-Tails, Eight-Tails, Two-Tails.
Because of Ziyun's time travel, Blue B never died, thus becoming the Perfect Jinchuriki.
In the original story, the Eight-Tails had high hopes for Blue B, but he was betrayed by Orochimaru and died young. Otherwise, he could have become Perfect Jinchuriki.
Besides these Kage Level powerhouses, the ordinary ninjas of Kumogakure should not be underestimated.
Taijutsu mastering the Tekkai, Shave, Shigan techniques, one can achieve a perfect balance of offense and defense, giving even Chunin the strength to fight a Jonin.
It's fair to say that even without Ziyun's intervention, Kumogakure could easily sweep through the Shinobi World.
"In that case, let's attack Konoha."
Kushina heard that she could decide what happened next, her eyes lit up and she gave a mischievous smile.
In fact, Kushina also had a grudge against Konoha, namely the Uzumaki Clan.
The Uzumaki Clan was almost wiped out by Konoha. If it weren't for Ziyun's help, the Uzumaki Clan would have been eliminated long ago.
Although Konoha's plan failed, it doesn't mean Kushina didn't harbor hatred for Konoha.
In fact, given Kushina's personality, how could she not hate Konoha? She would love for Konoha to die.
"To attack someone right after acquiring their supplies, wouldn't that be inappropriate? It would tarnish the reputation of Kumogakure."
Mikoto, on the other hand, is a bit shy.
After all, Konoha's supplies had just been delivered, so Kumogakure had to put on a show.
However, despite saying that, Mikoto still wanted to take action against Konoha.
It's very simple, Mikoto also has a grudge against Konoha.
The scene where Hiruzen Sarutobi about to sacrifice himself became a childhood trauma for Mikoto.
Therefore, Mikoto also harbors deep hatred for Konoha.
"What's wrong with it? Haven't the Konoha High Command done enough despicable things?"
Tsunade also agreed to take action against Konoha.
After all, she had a grudge against Konoha, although she had already taken revenge.
"Two votes to one, Mikoto, your decision doesn't count. Let's attack Konoha."
Kushina announced impatiently, her eyes flashing with a violent light.
"Okay, actually it's 3 votes. I also want to take action against Konoha."
Seeing that Tsunade and Kushina weren't feeling any moral pressure, Mikoto decided to go all out as well.
As for anyone who dares to question the reputation of Kumogakure, well, let them be.
Mikoto is overthinking this.
When your fist is big enough, no matter how shameless you are, everyone can whitewash your actions and won't think there's anything wrong with what you're doing.
The reason is simple: if those people were given the same conditions as Kumogakure in Kumogakure, they might do even more shameless things.
"Then it's decided. We'll hold a meeting tomorrow and choose a suitable opportunity to directly attack Konoha."
Kushina announced.
Seeing this, Ziyun smiled as well.
These three women are incredibly cunning. They just handed over a hefty protection fee, and they immediately turned around and started blaming the other person.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi knew this news, he would definitely vomit blood.
However, you can't blame Tsunade, Mikoto, Kushina for being cunning; after all, Konoha has offended so many people.
And they were all people I had thoroughly offended.
It's important to know that these three people originally belonged to Konoha's camp, but now they've all been thoroughly offended by Konoha.
It can only be said that fate has decreed the destruction of Konoha, Jiraiya can save it.
The next day, Kushina, Mikoto, Tsunade, as the three commanders, convened a meeting with the high-ranking officials of Kumogakure and all the Jonin.
Then they announced that they would launch an attack on Konoha a week later.
"By the way, Ziyun, what reason should we use to launch an attack on Konoha?"
After the meeting, that evening, the three women and Ziyun were all at the Yotsuki Clan's home. Tsunade against Ziyun and asked...
"Whatever, do I really need to ask you that? Aren't you the commanders-in-chief?"
Ziyun smiled.
"If that's the case, then say that a large portion of the supplies Konoha gave us were defective, deliberately trying to annoy us."
Kushina then spoke.
Upon hearing Kushina's words, Ziyun, Tsunade, and Mikoto all laughed.
That's the really disgusting reason you're giving.
But that's fine, it doesn't matter what excuse you give.
The big bad wolf doesn't need any reason to hit the little white rabbit; all it needs to do is ensure that the little white rabbit isn't wearing a hat.
A week later, the main force of the Kumogakure Army began to assemble.
Kushina, Tsunade, Mikoto served as the three commanders-in-chief, with Mei Terumi as their assistant. As for the task of guarding the village, it was still entrusted to Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Blue B.
In this battle, Ziyun doesn't intend to let Blue B; in fact, he doesn't need to take action.
Then, 5,000 elite Kumogakure were selected, most of whom were elites who had mastered the Six Powers, and even the weakest among Chunin level.
Then the large, imposing force set off from Kumogakure.
The departure from Kumogakure was not very discreet, given the large number of people involved; it would have been impossible to do so secretly.
Moreover, it's simply unrealistic to think that there aren't spies planted by other major ninja villages within Kumogakure. Ziyun is usually too lazy to catch them anyway.
What's the point of having so many spies at the Chunin Genin levels if there are no spies at the higher levels? They can't access the most crucial secrets anyway.
However, in order to catch Konoha off guard, Ziyun declared that Kumogakure would participate in the Third Shinobi World War, but did not specify which ninja village they would target.
As a result, the actions of the Kumogakure attracted everyone's attention.
Both Ōnoki and Fourth Kazekage Rasa of Sunagakure, were somewhat uneasy, fearing that Kumogakure would turn its attention to them.
Both villages reduced their involvement on the battlefield, redeploying most of their forces back to their ninja villages.
That's right. After the Third Kazekage disappeared, the Sunagakure elders Chiyo and Ebizo quickly selected a Kazekage.
After all, a major ninja village is prone to chaos if it lacks a leader.
As for the Third Kazekage, Sunagakure has also sent people to search for him, so Rasa is currently only acting as Kazekage. If the Third Kazekage is found, then the Third Kazekage will return to the position of Kazekage.
"With such a large-scale operation by the Kumogakure, who do you think they're targeting...?"
After receiving intelligence about the main force from Kumogakure, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt his right eyelid twitching violently.
Although they had long been allied with Kumogakure and had contributed a large amount of resources, Hiruzen Sarutobi was still not entirely at ease.
After all, he and Ziyun had dealt with each other quite a bit. In terms of methods, Yeyue Ziyun was no less capable than him, a man who had lived half his life, and might even be stronger.
Even in terms of shamelessness, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't think Ziyun was any less shameless than himself.
They might attack Konoha right after taking Konoha supplies; Yeyue Ziyun is perfectly capable of doing that.
"No matter who they're after, we need to be careful. Everyone knows how shameless the Fourth Raikage is."
Shimura Danzō gritted his teeth, a sense of foreboding rising within him.
Kumogakure so many troops assembled, who are they going to fight?
Sunagakure? That seems unlikely. After all, Yeyue Ziyun possesses considerable political acumen. Sunagakure and Kumogakure are so far apart; what would they gain from attacking Sunagakure?
Iwagakure doesn't seem quite like it either. If you want to fight Iwagakure Kumogakure, you can just go there by sea.
The same applies to Kirigakure).
After much thought, it seems only Konoha remains.
"I think Danzo is right. Let's suspend all attacks on Sunagakure and Iwagakure for now, and also gather the main force of Konoha and station it in the Land of Hot Water."
"If we discover that Kumogakure) intends to attack Konoha (Hidden Leaf Village), we must at least prevent the battle line from spreading into the Land of Land of Fire."
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo had the same idea.
After all, they've done plenty of these kinds of shameful things; seeing the Kumogakure is like seeing their former selves.
Subsequently, Hiruzen Sarutobi gathered almost all the village's strongest members and a force of 5,000 Konoha Ninja, ordering them to garrison in the Land of Hot Water.
This includes Kage Level powerhouses such as Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Hatake Sakumo, Danzo, and Minato Namikaze.
One more thing: thanks to Ziyun's time travel, Hatake Sakumo was not forced to his death by Konoha F4 before the Third Shinobi World War.
After all, Hatake Sakumo was at least at the Peak Kage Level. The Konoha F4 hesitated to let such a Peak Kage Level expert die for nothing.
At the same time, Hiruzen Sarutobi also had a deep talk with the heads of those major clans, telling them the importance of this matter and urging them to stop hiding it.
In the past, the major families would hold back a few tricks in every major battle in order to preserve their strength, but now they can no longer do so.
The power of Kumogakure was too great; Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat afraid.
