After sharing intelligence, the three began to discuss how to deal with Konoha Lightning Fang.
Knowing about the Mangekyo Dojutsu that can weaken people, they must protect themselves with the Tailed Beast Cloak right away, and even the first stage of the Tailed Beast Cloak is not safe enough; it's best to directly use the second stage of Half-Tailed Beast Transformation.
Even so, after a significant boost in speed and strength with Half-Tailed Beast Transformation, the three of them still find it hard to gain an advantage in Taijutsu and close combat.
Killer Bee once sparred with his brother A using Half-Tailed Beast Transformation, exhibiting superior strength and destructive power, but A was slightly faster.
If these are compared, Konoha Lightning Fang who is faster than A, and stronger and more destructive than A, leaves Killer Bee without any confidence in dealing with him, especially knowing that Konoha Lightning Fang knows the Third Raikage's signature Jutsu, One-Finger Nukite.
However, they are three people, three Jinchuriki who can fully transform into Tailed Beasts dealing with one person undoubtedly gives them the upper hand, and now they only need to devise a method that can completely kill their opponent.
A and Dodai also discussed for a long time, as they secretly came this time to catch Konoha off guard.
Moreover, on the third day.
A also discovered some small movements from Konoha, such as their large-scale publicity about their alliance with the Hidden Hot Water and the current situation of the Hidden Hot Water Village.
Seeing this, Kitsuchi immediately suggested, "Konoha knows nothing about our information, we can let them taste some advantage first, and then give them a fatal blow at the end!"
After hearing this suggestion, A was still contemplating that it would involve sacrificing some Hidden Cloud Ninjas; if there were Hidden Hot Water Ninjas now, it would be better to have them wear Hidden Cloud uniforms and headbands to deceive Konoha.
Finally, after A, Dodai, and other Hidden Cloud high-ups discussed for a long time, they agreed to Kitsuchi's proposal.
To severely damage Konoha, A was willing to go all out, and even if some Hidden Cloud had to be sacrificed, their efforts would be worth it.
Thus, A, Dodai, Kitsuchi, and others made plans. Originally they wouldn't involve Kitsuchi, but to ensure that the Hidden Rock can contribute their power on the battlefield smoothly later, A and Dodai gave Kitsuchi high respect.
The battlefield in the Land of Hot Water was gradually being explored and intelligence collected by Konoha Ninjas, but the Hidden Cloud seemed to have no response.
Reflecting on another field in the Land of Grass, the Hidden Rock launched a direct attack but did not declare war on the Grass Village. Hidden Rock and Hidden Waterfall appearing within the territory of the Land of Grass was an attempt to threaten Grass Ninjas to join them against Konoha.
After Seven-tailed went berserk, Hidden Waterfall effectively re-sealed the Seven-tailed, albeit with serious losses.
The leader of Hidden Waterfall and over ten powerful Jonin in the village consumed a large quantity of Heroic Water, causing their Chakra to explode multiple times over.
Relying on this brief surge of power, they managed to re-seal the Seven-tailed.
However, that night, nearly two hundred ninjas and over seven hundred villagers from Hidden Waterfall died due to the Seven-tailed's rampage; if the leader hadn't decisively brought out Heroic Water and consumed it, the casualties in Hidden Waterfall would have been greater.
After learning that the two ninja villages joined forces, the leader of the Grass Village joined the Hidden Rock and Hidden Waterfall without much thought, targeting Konoha together.
Now the borders of the Land of Grass and the Land of Waterfall are facing enemies, and Jiraiya quickly reported this news back to the village, leading a part of the ninja to the Land of Waterfall's border to intercept the enemy.
Meanwhile, the Hidden Rock and Grass Ninjas also commenced their attack, causing enormous trouble for Konoha.
Hidden Rock always favors frontal warfare; their Combined Ninjutsu is tough for other Ninja Villages to defend against, especially with Earth Release fitting well in Combined Ninjutsu.
Lightning Release counters Earth Release but cannot form Combined Ninjutsu on the battlefield, and individual Lightning Release Ninjutsu pose no threat to them.
Konoha Ninjas also find it hard to deal with, and the Hidden Rock and Grass Ninjas continually organize raiding squads to infiltrate and destroy within the Land of Fire, forcing Konoha to divide their forces to contend with these intrusions.
In just half a month since war started, Konoha had to retreat repeatedly; the Hidden Rock and Grass Ninjas combined had over seventeen hundred ninjas on the front battlefield, with six hundred at the border of the Land of Waterfall.
But Namikaze Minato had only fifteen hundred, having already allocated five hundred to Jiraiya, thus struggling to manage the situation.
Half a month after the war commenced, Namikaze Minato sent a message to the village reporting the battlefield situation and requesting reinforcements.
The Hidden Rock struck fiercely this time, resulting in over a hundred casualties on Konoha's side within the first half-month, making it unbearable.
Sarutobi Hiruzen in the village didn't expect the Hidden Rock's assaults to be so fierce, appearing ready for a life-and-death struggle without deploying Jinchuriki.
Thus, after Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, and Danzo discussed it, they dispatched two hundred more ninja reinforcements and a medical team.
Danzo also led thirty Root Ninjas and ten Anbu Ninjas to alleviate Namikaze Minato's pressure on the front battlefield.
Sarutobi Hiruzen initially intended Uzumaki Minami to lead the medical team, but hearing about Uzumaki Minami's pregnancy, he dismissed this idea.
If he truly insisted, regardless of whether Uzumaki Minami went, the Uchiha Race would likely riot.
Though not yet married, Uzumaki Minami had long moved into Uchiha Yoichi's home; now pregnant, she's undoubtedly the young leader of the Uchiha Race. If Sarutobi Hiruzen really acted, Uchiha Yoichi might even return from the battlefield.
The current situation has Sarutobi Hiruzen prepared to go to battle himself any time; with Onoki appearing on the battlefield, neither Namikaze Minato nor Jiraiya can contend with this cunning old fox, and Sarutobi Hiruzen would have to intervene directly on the battlefield.
The battlefield at the Land of Hot Water seems under control; though Orochimaru provoked much, the Hidden Cloud managed merely small retaliations, and even those were weak.
Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen focused more attention on the wars at the borders of the Land of Grass and Land of Waterfall.
The large-scale war suddenly erupted among Hidden Rock, Hidden Cloud, and Konoha, capturing widespread attention throughout the Ninja World; even Uchiha Madara's interest was piqued.
After gathering substantial intelligence through White Zetsu, Uchiha Madara finally decided to plunge Uchiha Obito into darkness amid this war.
"To the Uchiha who feels the purest emotions, once you lose this love, you will awaken the ultimate power of the Uchiha Race..."
Uchiha Madara absorbed power through the Gedo Statue's connection tube, preparing to personally execute this plan.
"Obito, once you witness this world's darkness, you will become my successor!"
