**Konohagakure**
Namikaze Minato, who had just returned to his office, froze on the spot, staring blankly at the Skyscreen.
"Naruto..."
Namikaze Minato was also one of the few loyal readers of *The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi*, and he guessed the origin of the name Naruto in his heart.
Moreover, he had originally planned to name his child Naruto if he and Kushina had one in the future. This idea had existed for a long time, but since his child wasn't even conceived yet, he hadn't told anyone.
Now, seeing the person on the Skyscreen named Naruto, he felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy, feeling that this orange-haired young man was his and Kushina's child. Except for his eyes...
"Is this the legendary Rinnegan? That Tengai Shinsei summoning a meteorite must be the ability of the Rinnegan. What terrifying power."
Orochimaru licked his lips, his gaze towards the Skyscreen full of obsession, yearning immensely for the power of the Rinnegan. Then, he turned to look at someone else; there was another eye expert in this office.
"Clan Head Fugaku, I wonder if the Uchiha clan has any records regarding the Rinnegan? Since the Uchiha clan are descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, could there be any connection between the Sharingan and the Rinnegan?"
Orochimaru asked with a smile. The Third and Fourth Hokage also turned their gazes over upon hearing this.
Uchiha Fugaku kept his expression rigid and answered categorically: "No, I don't know."
The three were not too surprised by this. The Third Hokage stepped forward and asked: "Later, could you allow this old man and Minato to consult the classics handed down by the Uchiha clan?"
"Of course. As long as the village needs it, Hokage-sama can consult them at any time. I only hope that after reading, Hokage-sama will not leak the secrets of the Uchiha clan to the outside."
"That is natural."
The Third Hokage nodded and stopped dwelling on this matter. Beside him, Orochimaru's face turned dark.
"Speaking of which, there is something I am very confused about. Why did the Five Kage on the Skyscreen assemble such a huge ninja army? For a battle of this level, the usefulness of ordinary ninjas is close to zero, right?"
Namikaze Minato spoke at this moment, attracting everyone's attention. They also began to ponder this question.
"Could it be that they want to imitate Iwagakure's operation of killing the Third Raikage, planning to use human wave tactics to exhaust him?"
Orochimaru chuckled lightly with a mocking look in his eyes. He still remembered clearly this classic battle that happened not long ago.
"Probably not. Iwagakure's ambush was just a special case. Generally, in situations where the power gap between the two sides is huge, human wave tactics don't work at all."
Namikaze Minato shook his head. He felt deeply about this. In the recent war with Iwagakure, he instantly killed fifty Iwagakure ninjas in just a blink of an eye. Fifty ninjas were already a considerable force in war, but they couldn't even last a second in front of him.
The Allied Shinobi Forces on the Skyscreen were the same. Without the support of the Five Kage, the 100,000 Allied Forces would be completely wiped out by Naruto in just one encounter, without making a single splash.
For battles of that level, ordinary ninjas couldn't play a role at all and would even need the strong to save them. The 100,000 Allied Shinobi Forces were just 100,000 vulnerabilities for the Five Kage. It was unclear why the Five Kage would bring the Allied Forces onto the battlefield to be controlled by the enemy.
"They must have a reason for choosing to do so. But Minato, didn't you feel anything strange seeing little Tsuna become the Fifth Hokage?"
The Third Hokage took out a new pipe and lit it, then looked sideways at Namikaze Minato and asked.
"Huh?"
Namikaze Minato was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and said: "Tsunade-senpai has excellent medical ninjutsu and is deeply respected by everyone. She must be loved by the villagers to become the Hokage..."
The Third Hokage frowned upon hearing this. Just as he wanted to speak, he saw Orochimaru and Uchiha Fugaku beside him with different expressions, so he swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue. Instead, he patted Namikaze Minato on the shoulder and encouraged him.
"This old man is very gratified that you can keep your composure. But don't belittle yourself. You are the most outstanding ninja this old man has ever seen. This old man believes Konoha will definitely flourish in your hands."
Namikaze Minato felt very appreciative hearing this.
"Yes, Lord Third. I will definitely not let you down."
"Alright, let's continue watching the Skyscreen."
...
**On the Skyscreen**
After being provoked by the Five Kage, Naruto didn't get angry. Instead, he clapped his hands and applauded them.
"Wonderful. As expected of the Five Kage, such small tricks indeed can't stump you. Then, next is the real war."
As soon as Naruto's voice fell, the Allied Shinobi Forces began to stir.
However, before Naruto made a move, the Hyūga clan within the Allied Shinobi Forces discovered the anomaly first. They shouted loudly: "Large numbers of enemies discovered landing on the island's east coastline, numbering no less than ten thousand!"
"Countless enemies also discovered landing on the west coast!"
"Same situation on the south coast!"
"The north too..."
In the vision of the Hyūga clan's Byakugan, countless humanoid creatures landed from the sea and climbed onto the small island, then quickly surrounded the Allied Shinobi Forces.
Ninjas knew the Hyūga clan's abilities well, so no one doubted their words.
As the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Shinobi Forces, Tsunade felt a chill in her heart, but she had long anticipated such a situation.
"Everyone, listen to the order! This is the army of 300,000 White Zetsu mentioned in the intelligence, controlled by Naruto. Now, immediately proceed to engage the enemy according to the previous deployment!"
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison, then acted according to the plan. Kitsuchi of Iwagakure led 20,000 Allied Forces to the east coast of the island to block the landing White Zetsu army. Kankurō of Sunagakure led 20,000 Allied Forces to block the White Zetsu army on the west coast. Darui and Ao each led 20,000 Allied Forces to defend the south and north coasts respectively.
The remaining 20,000 Allied Forces were led by Kakashi as the general reserve and medical unit, stationed in the center under Tsunade's command.
300,000 White Zetsu attacked the small island from all directions, and the 100,000 Allied Shinobi Forces dispatched a total of 80,000 to intercept!
"The numbers are still too disparate. Even if we gathered the power of the entire Ninja World, the enemy's numbers are still more than three times ours!"
Watching the Allied Shinobi Forces scatter like a tide, Tsunade inevitably felt worried.
"Don't worry, Hokage. They are ninjas trained since childhood, not comparable to those rigid biological weapons. Besides, now is not the time to worry about them. We have to focus on defeating that brat."
The Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki stepped forward to comfort her, then looked at Naruto in the sky with burning eyes.
"The Tsuchikage is right. The Allied Forces have their mission, and the Five Kage also have the Five Kage's battle. We must defeat this kid and stop his ambitions so that everyone's efforts won't be in vain!"
The Raikage also took a step forward, thunder rolling around his body.
Looking at them, Tsunade also felt a surge of heroism in her heart. She clenched her fists and a smile appeared on her face.
"Good, let's attack together."
