In Konoha, Ashura Chakra is dropped at the beginning.

Chapter 156: The Fourth Ninja World War Begins

"Chief, isn't it too hasty to seal all four tailed beasts at once?"

"Yes, a tailed beast needs five days and five nights. My chakra can't support twenty days and twenty nights."

"Besides, the five great ninja villages must have known about our mobilization of such a large force. It is said that the Iron Country held a Five Kage Summit, and the theme was most likely to discuss how to deal with us."

"During this period of time, the five major ninja villages might unite and search the world for our traces, and then join forces to encircle and suppress us."

"........."

In the dark space, seven thoughts are having a conversation.

Due to the special circumstances, Nagato did not start sealing the tailed beasts immediately, but instead called all members to a meeting.

After listening to the conversation between Deidara and the others, the thought form of Tendo Pain suddenly looked at Black and White Zetsu and asked, "Zeitsu, what's the situation now?"

"The Five Kage Summit has ended. The White Zetsu clone has successfully infiltrated the Iron Kingdom. The Hokage and the Mizukage are no longer here, and the other three Kage have also begun their return journey." White Zetsu replied, "According to the intelligence gathered by the White Zetsu clone, the five major ninja villages and the Iron Kingdom have decided to unite, just like the multi-national attack on the Uzushiogakure in the Whirlpool Kingdom decades ago. They are preparing to surround the Rain Kingdom and find our Akatsuki organization and destroy it."

"The five major ninja villages have joined forces? Haha, this is the first time I've seen it." Hoshigaki Kisame smiled with a little surprise.

"They call it a union, but in fact they just want to get the leader's Samsara Eye." Black Zetsu said hoarsely, "They haven't even decided to unify their forehead protectors and uniforms. They are destined to be a group of scattered sand."

"Indeed, among the five great ninja villages, only Ōnoki, who has mastered the Bloodline Elimination: Dust Release, and the Wood Release ninjas of Konoha are worthy of attention."

"That's not the case. After all, the five great ninja villages are the five overlords of the ninja world. If they mobilize all the active ninjas, the number will be at least 50,000. Even we may be consumed to death by their human wave tactics."

"Chief, do you want to fight?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Tendo Pain's thought body.

Without waiting for Tendo Pain to speak, Baimao suddenly smiled and said, "If you want to fight, I can use the Impure World Reincarnation Technique to provide at least three digits of the dead army with immortal bodies and infinite chakra."

Hearing this, Nagato's heart moved slightly, but he still hadn't made a decision.

The fact that he hasn't made a decision yet shows that Nagato doesn't want to fight anymore.

After all, all members of the Akatsuki organization have to seal the tailed beasts. It will take at least half a month to completely seal the Four-Tails and the Seven-Tails.

Even if the Hundred Faces could resurrect a three-digit army of the dead, it would be impossible for them to hold off the five major ninja villages for twenty days.

Moreover, when sealing the tailed beasts, it is impossible to keep it sealed for twenty days and twenty nights.

Although his chakra can last that long, the youngest Deidara and Konan simply cannot last that long.

Therefore, if you want to seal the four tailed beasts, it will take at least twenty days, and at most closer to a month.

The Hidden Rain Village simply did not have the strength to fight the five major ninja villages for a month. Even the Hundred Faces' Army of the Dead, with their immortal bodies and infinite chakra, could not have lasted that long.

After all, Nagato also knew the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Although it is strong, its weaknesses are also very obvious.

Once the immortal body is destroyed by the enemy, it will take a certain amount of time to repair, and this period of time is the fatal weakness of the Impure World Reincarnation Technique.

As long as the enemy masters the sealing technique, you can take advantage of this lead time to seal him.

The four major ninja villages that plundered the Land of Whirlpools, as well as Konoha, whose wives the First and Fourth Hokage were both from the Uzumaki clan, all have the ability to restrain the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Therefore, if a full-scale war breaks out with the five major ninja villages, the Hidden Rain Village, where members of the Akatsuki organization cannot take part, will undoubtedly be defeated.

That is why Nagato asked Konan to evacuate the villagers and even asked the ninjas of the Hidden Rain Village to take off their forehead protectors and disguise themselves as civilians to leave the Hidden Rain Village.

He didn't want to go to war with the five major ninja villages, but wanted to play hide-and-seek with them.

After sealing the Four to Seven Tails, he would start the counterattack and capture the Eight and Nine Tails at the same time.

Nagato, who had already sealed the three tailed beasts, vaguely felt the true power of the Outer Path Demon Statue.

We only need to seal a few more tailed beasts and the Outer Path Demon Statue can be resurrected.

As long as the Outer Path Demon Statue is resurrected, it will be a strategic weapon more powerful than the strongest tailed beast.

With the help of his own Rinnegan, Nagato is fully confident that he can realize his dream, make the five major ninja villages feel pain, use human beings' fear of these pains to suppress wars, completely end the disputes between big and small countries, and enter a true era of peace.

As if seeing that Nagato didn't want to fight, Black Zetsu also said: "If you want to fight, we can also provide 100,000 White Zetsu as troops."

"Nani?!"

"Ten... One hundred thousand White Zetsu?!"

Except for the Hyakuma, everyone including Nagato and Uchiha Obito were stunned by Black Zetsu's words.

Obviously, Uchiha Obito at this time did not know the existence of 100,000 White Zetsu.

"White Zetsu, you can actually create 100,000 special clones?" Deidara said in disbelief, "What kind of monster are you?"

"Hehe, I already have a lot of clones, but a hundred thousand is just my limit." Bai Zetsu immediately cooperated with Hei Zetsu and said with a smile.

"Jue, are you telling the truth?" Tendo Pain also couldn't believe it, so he asked.

"real."

The thought form of Black and White Jue nodded, and his tone was full of affirmation.

"One hundred thousand White Zetsu, are they the same as your usual White Zetsu clones?" Tendo Pain asked again.

"all the same."

Black and White Zetsu nodded again, and White Zetsu even smiled and said, "Whatever abilities I have, the White Zetsu clones have the same abilities, and the 100,000 White Zetsu can share intelligence with me at any time."

"Incredible, this kind of clone technique actually exists in this world!"

Even Hoshigaki Kisame couldn't keep calm at this moment, and sighed slightly: "Even if it's a wood clone of Wood Release, it's probably no more than this!"

"This is simply the strongest clone technique in the ninja world." Deidara also nodded in agreement and gave his highest evaluation: "In terms of clones, I admit that you are the pinnacle of the art."

"whee……"

White Zetsu gave a unique smile, and the expression of the Thought Body was as playful as ever, and it was unclear whether he was enjoying the praise from others or mocking these people's ignorance.

After all, as the most outstanding 'original body' among the 100,000 White Zetsu, White Zetsu is second only to Black Zetsu who pulled him out of the Outer Path Statue, and is the one who knows the truth of the world and countless secrets.

One hundred thousand White Zetsu, that's not some clone jutsu, they are just like himself, products of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and were once human beings.

Once the Infinite Tsukuyomi comes again, these guys will become the same as him sooner or later as long as they don’t die!

"In that case, let's start the fight!"

Nagato naturally didn't know this.

After hearing that White Zetsu could split into 100,000 identical special clones, he immediately changed his original idea of ​​hiding and playing hide-and-seek with the five major ninja villages, and chose to confront the five major ninja villages head-on. Even if the 100,000 White Zetsu were weak, they were still a more shocking low-end combat force than the sum of the active ninjas of the five major ninja villages.

In addition, the three-digit army of the dead reborn from the Impure World Reincarnation also makes up for the shortcomings of the mid-range combat power.

Moreover, the Hundred Faces can be used to resurrect the first Hokage of Konoha through the Impure World Reincarnation. Even if Hashirama Senju is not as powerful as he was in his heyday, he is still a high-end combat force at the level of the Five Kage.

If Hyakuma has the media of other previous five Kage in his hands, his high-end combat power may even be greater than that of the members of Akatsuki.

In this way, even if the seven members of their Akatsuki organization are unable to take the field, they may still have the strength to fight against the five major ninja villages.

Even if we cannot defeat the five major ninja villages in the end, it should be easy to delay their time for a month.

In this way, there would be no need to hide and worry about being found by Yagyu and the others before the seal is completed, and having to terminate the seal, or even the risk of the Jinchūriki being taken back.

Maybe it would only take them twenty days or so to completely seal the Four to Seven Tails.

So after making the decision, Tendo Pain immediately said to Hoshigaki Kisame and others: "Come to the Hidden Rain Village immediately and start the seal."

After finishing speaking, Tendo Pain said to Uchiha Obito's thought body: "Afei, go pick up Kisame and the others."

"I see."

Uchiha Obito nodded, and the thought body disappeared first.

The appearance of 100,000 White Zetsu also gave Uchiha Obito a surprise.

With such a strong force, it would be easy to seal the Four-Tailed Fox and the Seven-Tailed Fox.

As long as the four tailed beasts are successfully sealed, only the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails will be left, and then the Moon Eye Project can begin.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Obito, who also had his own little ideas, used Kamui to pick up Hoshigaki Kisame and the others while making preparations in advance.

In less than half a day, Uchiha Obito brought Hoshigaki Kisame and others to the Hidden Rain Village.

Then Nagato brought them all to an underground base where a large amount of supplies were stored, summoned the Outer Path Golem, and began to cast a barrier.

Xiaonan also placed hundreds of millions of detonating tags outside the barrier.

At this time, the Hidden Rain Village had become an empty village, and Nagato had the villagers and ninjas take away all the valuables.

He was already prepared for the disappearance of the Hidden Rain Village, so Konan naturally had no scruples.

When everything was arranged, except for Nagato who did not show up in person, the seven members of the Akatsuki organization all stood on the fingers of the Outer Path Golem in their real bodies, forming seals with their hands and shouting, "Sealing Technique: Phantom Nine Dragon Seal!"

As seven chakra dragons flew out and submerged the Four-Tails Jinchuriki Lao Shi who was lying on the ground, the Akatsuki organization began a long seal.

At the same time, the ninja world was gradually shrouded in an atmosphere of impending storm.

All the small countries and villages in the Ninja Continent soon realized that something was wrong.

Konoha began to recall ninjas from the borders and guarding various cities.

Except for the twelve guardian ninjas under the daimyo, all the ninjas received the highest order, put down their work and rushed back to Konoha.

An evacuation of this scale would soon be known to any force that had spies in the Fire Nation.

Just when they were wondering whether Konoha was going to do something big.

The next day, the Sand Village, the Iwagakure Village, and the Kumogakure Village also issued the highest order, recalling all active ninjas who were away.

The small countries that received this news were all panicked.

Especially the small countries sandwiched between the Fire Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom, as well as the Thunder Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom, felt extremely fearful.

Could it be that the Ninja World War is about to break out again?
Soon, these small countries were horrified to find that the Iron Kingdom, which had remained neutral during the Warring States Period, had unprecedentedly stopped remaining neutral and chose to participate.

Thinking of this, they became even more panicked.

The Ninja World War that was launched by the Four Great Nations and the Iron Kingdom, which was second only to the Five Great Nations, was so huge in scale that perhaps only the First Ninja World War could be compared to it.

They didn't know that at this time, the Water Kingdom had also sent out a large number of sailboats and was heading towards the Ninja Continent.

Realizing that the Fourth Shinobi World War was approaching, the small countries that were still at war tacitly stopped fighting and began to evacuate or abandon the cities and people most likely to become war zones.

Just like the Hidden Rain Village in the past, as a neighboring country sandwiched between two big countries, it is so unlucky.

Once two big countries go to war, the territories of these small countries will become battlefields, and the cities close to the battlefield will become supply stations for the big countries.

Three days later, all the ninjas from the four major ninja villages who were outside returned to their respective villages.

The ninja troops of the Hidden Mist Village have already landed on the Ninja Continent.

The daimyo of the five great nations have also moved to safe havens.

The samurai troops of the Iron Kingdom are ready to go.

"All troops, march out in order!"

On the fourth day, the Five Kage and Mifune, who were communicating remotely through Chakra TV, issued orders one after another.

In an instant, the troops led by various elite jonin, such as the perception troops, combat troops, communication troops, logistics troops and so on, instantly transformed into a black mass of afterimages, and rushed towards the direction of the Rain Country.

Six black currents, representing the six strongest forces in the ninja world, converged towards the Rain Country from different directions.

Although each force only dispatched more than 10,000 ninjas.

But with the combined strength of these ninjas, they can easily destroy a small ninja village in less than a moment.

So wherever they went, the small countries trembled in fear, fearing that they would be robbed and so on by these big gangsters.

In just one day, the perception team that was responsible for walking in the front and collecting intelligence arrived at the Rain Country.

"Everyone be careful, there's something underground!"

Just after entering the Land of Rain, some ninjas with excellent perception discovered that something was wrong.

In their perception, there were an astonishing number of fluctuations underground, and the other party had no intention of concealing anything.

"retreat!"

The perception troops, whose combat effectiveness was inferior to their perception, chose to return along the same route without hesitation.

Whoosh...

However, before they could retreat and report to the troops in the rear, a large number of white creatures that looked exactly the same emerged from the ground and pounced on them like mad dogs.

The battle immediately broke out at the border of the Rain Country, announcing the start of the Fourth Ninja World War!
