"Alright, the seal is complete."
Karen wiped the sweat from her brow.
Sealing Didaze's Chakra is quite difficult. Didaze has a lot of Chakra, so sealing it is still very difficult even if the opponent does not resist.
"However, this seal can only last for three days. If you need to reseal it after three days, you can come back to me."
Karen said to Didaze.
Even without Didaze 'Didaze Chakra being mobilized, it would unconsciously impact Karen's seal.
Three days should be enough.
Didaze nodded slightly.
" Nanako, I've seen your progress. From now on, your older brother will probably have to rely on you a lot more."
Didaze patted the little guy's head again.
He doesn't know why, but he always feels good when he touches the little guy's head.
"Brother Didaze, I understand..."
Nanako Uzumaki looked at Didaze, a feeling of joy welling up inside her.
Brother Didaze said he might need her help in the future, so she needs to work even harder to grow and strive to be able to help Didaze in the future!
Didaze chuckled as he looked at the spirited Nanako Uzumaki, then left the Sealing Squad to train.
War is imminent. If he doesn't start learning soon, there won't be time for him to learn once the war begins.
training ground
"Control my Chakra in my right hand..."
Didaze skillfully eliminated one hand, then began to focus his attack on the second.
With the aid of Sealing Jutsu, Didaze had lost a significant amount of Chakra, became much easier to control.
Didaze quickly made his right hand invisible as well.
"Great! My idea really works!"
Seeing his success, Didaze's mood improved considerably.
Didaze continued his focused attack on the Dustless Bewildering Cover, while Kirigakure and Kumogakure had reached an agreement to jointly attack Iwagakure.
War seemed imminent.
Three days later
Iwagakure Office
" The Kumogakure and the Kirigakure are already heading towards us, but fortunately, due to our terrain, they can only attack from one direction, and we won't be attacked from both sides."
Ōnoki addressed the Iwagakure leaders standing before him.
This time, not only high-ranking officials came, but also two Jinchūriki from Iwagakure and Karen Kitsuchi.
Didaze was also invited to this high-level meeting, and not just as an observer, but as a voter like the other senior officials.
Yes, Didaze was appointed as a high-ranking member of Ōnoki by Iwagakure a few days ago.
"Since they want to fight, then let them fight. It'll be a good opportunity to show the might of Iwagakure and let them know who's in charge!"
An old man with gray hair and beard slammed his hand on the table, looking ready to fight to the death.
"That's what I think too, everyone please vote."
Although it was called a vote, in reality, Ōnoki already had more than half of the people in the upper echelons, and the upper echelons meetings were essentially Ōnoki's one-man show.
And everyone tacitly agreed to go through the motions of voting.
The final result was that, including Didaze, there were seven people in total, and the vote passed unanimously.
Didaze was somewhat surprised by this; he had expected some doves.
"Since everyone has no objections, let's begin our offensive tomorrow and engage in battle with Kumogakure and Kirigakure!"
Ōnoki made the final decision to start the battle.
Kumogakure
"Father, the people from Kirigakure have arrived. We can prepare to depart!"
"I can't believe Yotsuki A exclaimed excitedly as she pushed open the door to the Raikage's Office.
He had been looking forward to this battle for a long time; Second Shinobi World War, their Kumogakure had hardly had any opportunities to participate.
The fact that she lost her only match left Yotsuki A somewhat displeased.
Now it seems that God has given him a chance to redeem himself.
"Haha! Let's go!"
The Third Raikage laughed heartily, then led the Two-Tails Jinchūriki and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, along with thousands of ninja troops, to meet the Kirigakure!
The Two-Tails Jinchūriki is quite old, but there's no other way; the battlefield requires Jinchūriki to be on the field.
Although Killer B, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, is still young, it would be more dangerous to leave Killer B alone in Kumogakure, so it would be better to take him with us.
Soon, the Third Raikage and Yotsuki A arrived at the border of the Land of Lightning with the ninjas of Kumogakure, where they met the Third Mizukage and the ninjas behind him.
" Mizukage, how many men did you bring?"
The Third Raikage didn't waste any time and went straight to asking the most important question.
"Our Kirigakure is surrounded by the sea, and we don't have many missions, so..."
Before the Third Raikage had even finished speaking, he already knew what the Third Mizukage was going to say.
"So I only brought 1,500 ninjas, but Raikage, don't worry, both Jinchūriki from Kirigakure and the clans with Kekkei Genkai are here."
The Third Mizukage seemed to realize that he hadn't brought enough people, and quickly added more.
After all, this number was only equivalent to the number of Iwagakure's vanguard at the time. It was indeed shameful for a village to launch a war with only such a small number of people.
As expected, the Third Raikage's already dark face visibly became even darker.
" Mizukage, you were the one who begged us to cooperate in the first place, and now I see absolutely no sincerity from you!"
"If that's your mindset, then I think our alliance can also come to an end."
The Third Raikage squinted and threatened.
He brought nearly four thousand men, Third Mizukage only brought fifteen hundred?
Are you here to fight a war or to play house?
Furthermore, if the Third Mizukage could really gather so few people by mobilizing the entire village, then the Third Raikage would have to seriously consider whether to attack Iwagakure or Kirigakure.
The Third Mizukage looked at the Third Raikage who was threatening him and sighed inwardly.
He didn't want to bring so few people, but he had no choice. Didaze killed many people last time, and many ninjas are now rebuilding after the disaster.
" Raikage, I can only send another thousand men at most, and if we win the war, you'll take 70%, and I'll only take 30%."
The Third Mizukage had no choice but to agree to send another thousand men.
This will slow down the reconstruction process, but there's no other way.
"Good, Mizukage, you really are a sensible person!"
The Third Raikage instantly became amiable, as if he wasn't the one who had just been about to attack the Third Mizukage at the slightest provocation.
After all, the previously agreed-upon 50/50 split has now become 70/70 for Kumogakure, so how could the Third Raikage not be happy?
Although Kirigakure has fewer people than our side, it doesn't matter.
Once the Jinchūriki and Kage arrive, that's enough; ordinary combat power isn't that important.
The Third Raikage's feigned seriousness was merely a ploy to extract some benefits.
Although the Third Raikage was burly and imposing, he was definitely not a simple-minded person with only muscles.
