Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Cloud Village, Raikage's Office;
"What's going on? Why is Konoha attacking us so early? Are they that confident?"
When the Fourth Raikage heard the declaration of war from Naruto this morning, he thought the war would start slowly.
At least, there were a lot of things that needed to be prepared. The Cloud Village and Stone Village were prepared.
Their shinobi were already divided into military units, intelligence units, medical units, and specialization units.
Each unit had its own captain, and thus, they were prepared.
But Konoha just found out about their communication yesterday, declared war this morning, and sent their army before noon.
"Lord Raikage, this only means Konoha fully supports their Hokage's decision to go to war, and they are quite confident about this war."
"Considering the presence of the Nara Clan, creating strategies and maintaining the command structure and unit division wouldn't be difficult."
"So, we need to send our people to the Land of Frost before morning and keep the war in that land."
Although it was cruel that their village was going to use another village for war, this was quite normal.
This was also the reason why Nagato hated the shinobi system and wanted to make sure they never started a war.
Even if that meant keeping them in fear of destruction.
That's why Nagato wasn't trying to be a Jinchuriki or use the power of his eyes to personally destroy each village.
Instead, he was trying to create a weapon that could be passed down in his village to those who inherit the will of Akatsuki.
"Alright, Mabui! I will leave this task to you. I am joining the war. Tell Bee and Yugito to prepare themselves!"
Raikage commanded in a stern tone.
"But sir, there has not been any sighting of the Fifth Hokage."
Mabui couldn't help but feel confused.
"Mabui, they are sending only a few hundred ninjas. Do you think that brat is idiotic enough to let such a small force face our village?"
"Of course not! He must be hiding somewhere. His goal is to fight Cloud Village by himself in order to minimize the damage."
Hearing Raikage's words, Mabui couldn't help but feel strange.
Certainly, from every perspective, this sounded like the right move. But for some reason, she couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong here.
The Stone Village did the same thing, especially Onoki, who had seen Madara. He believed Madara would be able to take on a single village by himself.
Although he considered Naruto a brat, he had seen Naruto's understanding of shinobi power.
People would say Madara was as strong as Hashirama, or people might even say Madara and the Nine-Tails couldn't possibly be equally strong.
But in his eyes, that's not true.
When he saw the remark about Peak Super Kage level, he knew Naruto understood Hashirama's power.
Because while Nine-Tails could be controlled easily by the Mangekyo Sharingan, its destructive power was stronger than Madara.
Of course, Onoki's vision was still low. He didn't know Nine-Tails could supercharge his Tailed Beast Ball.
Nine-Tails being able to supercharge the Tailed Beast Ball had the power to destroy even something like Perfect Susanno.
Of course, overall, Madara would be stronger. He had more trump cards than Nine-Tails, but Nine-Tails was no slouch.
If he could develop something like Baryon Mode, have an understanding of Chakra that surpasses humans, and create Senjutsu Chakra with enough Sage knowledge, then Nine-Tails had the potential just like Madara.
Of course, this didn't include Rinnegan Madara, and it shouldn't include Rinnegan Madara since Naruto shouldn't know about that.
But the fact of the matter was that Onoki had more understanding of their power; thus, he could easily make preparations for this war.
He even went as far as to bring Roshi back to the village.
For a stubborn man like Onoki, this was quite a feat, and it was something that brought Roshi back.
Because he understood that Onoki was just as stubborn as he was. So, he consulted Four Tails about the power of the Nine Tails.
After gaining some understanding, he eventually returned.
So, right now, Stone Village had the Third Tsuchikage, Han, and Roshi, three veteran Kage-level shinobi.
Cloud Village also had the Fourth Raikage, Killer Bee, and Yugito, a powerhouse, the perfect Jinchuriki, and a Kage-level shinobi.
Their forces started closing in. The Stone Village started gathering its forces on the borders of the Land of Grass.
The Cloud Village started gathering its forces on the borders of the Land of Frost. As the sun slowly started rising, both forces drew their weapons.
"It seems they are prepared. Neji!"
Shikaku muttered before commanding Neji.
Neji opened his Byakugan and in an instant, he saw several kilometers of distance with ease. He saw three people with abnormal Chakra Reserves.
"They are prepared. The Raikage, Killer Bee, and Yugito should all be here. Their chakra reserves are crazy."
Neji answered.
Shikaku nodded and turned towards Kakashi.
"You, Guy, and the three of you! Do your best to keep them busy! We will end our battles as quickly as possible."
"In the process, keep them as far away as possible, understand?"
"Yes!"
Kakashi nodded; Guy looked excited, while Sasuke, Shino, and Neji felt a bit nervous.
This was a Jinchuriki. The last time they met an enemy Jinchuriki, it was Gaara who crushed Fifth Gate Lee and released the Tailed Beast in the arena.
On the other hand, Tsunade asked Hinata.
Hinata's eyes were hers. Unlike Toneri, who stole Hanabi's eyes, she could change between her normal Byakugan and Tenseigan.
[Byakugan]
As she activated her Byakugan, she saw nearly everything within twenty kilometers with ease.
"Four Thousand Chakra Signatures, two abnormally high Chakra signatures, belonging to Tailed Beasts."
"Two normal but powerful chakra signatures, one being bigger than the other."
Hearing that, Jiraiya clicked his tongue.
"So that old man managed to bring back Roshi. Roshi- Jinchuriki of the Four Tails, Han- Jinchuriki of the Five Tails, Third Tsuchikage, and a Kage-level shinobi, Kitsuchi."
At this moment, all four teams looked at their opponents and thought.
'This is gonna be tough/where is the Fifth Hokage?'
