I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain the current abnormality of Kirigakure.

"Given Konoha's current state, I'm afraid it won't last much longer," Naraku thought to himself.

The reunion of the Senju clan brought new life to Konoha, but the departure of the Uchiha clan also had very real negative consequences.

The best manifestation of this is in morale.

The morale of the people on all battlefields in Konoha is quite low.

In this situation, Naraku could only say that the other party had brought it upon themselves.

Even setting aside preferential treatment, if Konoha had treated the Uchiha clan fairly, based solely on the bond established with Konoha, the Uchiha clan would not have been so radical as to secede from Konoha.

"Karuro, immediately summon Nono, Natsumi, Sasori, Ame, Uchiha Mikoto, and the others to the conference room." Naraku slowly stood up and ordered Karuro, who was standing to the side.

"Yes!" Jia Liuluo was slightly taken aback, but immediately accepted the order and left.

Watching Garuro leave, Naraku also strode out of the office and headed to the conference room.

He originally intended to wait until the territory had been fully digested and expanded before sending troops to the Fire Kingdom.

But now that Konoha's chances of survival are already slim, he is preparing to launch an attack ahead of schedule in order to seize more benefits.

"What's going on? Is another war about to break out?"

"Weren't all the small countries to the west, all the way to the coast, already annexed by the Star Kingdom? Why does it look like the Star Kingdom is about to launch another expedition?"

"So many ninjas! This scale is even larger than the previous expedition. Could it be that they are preparing for a new round of expansion to the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth on either side?"

"It shouldn't be the Land of Wind, since we are allies with the Land of Wind. It's more likely to be the Land of Earth."

"Do you think the target of this expedition might be the Land of Fire?"

"."

The following morning, the residents of Star City watched in astonishment as star ninjas moved through the streets.

Some followed out of curiosity, until they reached the city gate.

In the end, the people of Star City were shocked to find that a massive army of ninjas, numbering two thousand, had gathered at the city gate.

At the forefront of this army of two thousand ninjas were Natsumi Hoshino, Sasori, Amane, and Uchiha Mikoto.

"set off!"

Once the assembly was complete, Xia Rixing, who was in the center and also the commander-in-chief, immediately waved his hand with great authority and gave the order.

Swish swish swish ~~~

Amidst a dense whistling sound, Xia Rixing and his three companions led their ninja army away from Star City.

Star Tower.

From the eighth floor, which overlooks the world, Naraku stands by the window, quietly watching the departing army.

"This time we have sent two thousand troops. Although our forces are fewer than the other four sides, with Xia Rixing and the others in charge, our combat capabilities are definitely not inferior to any of them. I believe that in the upcoming war, all the forces in the ninja world will witness our strength."

Beside him, Nono, who was also watching the army depart, spoke up with great enthusiasm.

This expedition to the Land of Fire, in terms of both scale and significance, is incomparable to the previous annexations of smaller nations.

After all, the Land of Fire is one of the Five Great Nations, and even before World War III, it was the leader of the Five Great Nations.

The young tiger is growing into a fierce tiger.

Now that the Land of Stars has launched an expedition against the Land of Fire, it can be said that the Land of Stars, this fledgling tiger, has begun to truly bare its fangs to the entire ninja world.

“Well said. It’s definitely time to let the outside world see our strength.” Naraku smiled slightly upon hearing Nonou’s words.

Although it came a little earlier than expected, given the country's current military strength, it is already enough to flex its muscles to the outside world.

Between the Land of Stars and the Land of Fire lie the Land of Birds and the Land of Rain.

The Bird Country is nothing special, the key is the Rain Country.

With the help of the "Jade Ancestor's Decree," Naraku has confirmed that Nagato, just like in the original story, not only killed Hanzo but also took control of the Land of Rain.

Normally, he wouldn't mind fighting with the other side and taking over the Land of Rain, but now, in order to enter the Land of Fire's battlefield as soon as possible and seize benefits, he chose to pass through the Land of Wind.

Summer Star is the commander-in-chief, Scorpion is the deputy commander, and Rain and Uchiha Mikoto are the main generals.

The army of the Land of Stars quickly passed through the Land of Wind, then crossed the Land of Rivers, and finally joined up with Sunagakure Village at the border of the Land of Fire.

"Star Country?"

"Yes, it is said that the Land of Stars has sent two thousand ninjas to join the siege of the Land of Fire."

"Two thousand ninjas? Has the military power of the Land of Stars developed to this extent? Do they dare to set their sights on the Land of Fire together with the Four Great Ninja Villages?"

"The army of the Land of Stars has joined forces with the Sand Village? The relationship between these two sides is a bit too good, isn't it?"

"Two thousand ninjas wouldn't be much under normal circumstances, but given Konoha's current situation, the addition of the Land of Stars might be the last straw that breaks the camel's back."

"Is the Land of Fire really going to be destroyed?!"

"."

Without concealing their whereabouts, the Star Country's expedition against the Fire Country was quickly discovered by the major forces in the ninja world.

Some were shocked by the military strength of the Star Kingdom, while others gloated over the misfortune of the Fire Kingdom.

Chapter 243 Fighting on the battlefield

Especially Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure.

Upon learning that the Land of Stars had not only launched an expedition against the Land of Fire, but had also joined forces with the Sand Village, the three parties immediately became tense.

What they were worried about was not the safety of the Land of Fire, but the fear that the alliance between the Land of Stars and the Sand Village would seize more benefits.

The Land of Fire is only so big a piece of the pie.

If the Land of Stars and Sunagakure take a bite more, then the other three parties will inevitably take a bite less.

Not to mention Iwagakure, which is already hostile to the Land of Stars, even Kumogakure, which is an ally.

Upon learning of the Star Kingdom's involvement, they hurriedly intensified their offensive on the battlefield.

"kill!!!"

In the dense forest, the deafening sounds of battle soared into the sky.

Various shuriken, kunai, and other ninja tools clashed, creating a vast, overwhelming force.

Some of them sparked countless sparks upon impact.

Some of them exploded violently because they were carrying explosive tags.

Some even passed through the other side's ninja tools and landed in the crowd.

Blood splattered.

One by one, figures screamed as they fell out of the group after being hit by ninja tools.

The clash of ninja tools was merely the prelude to war.

Inside the forest, two surging figures relentlessly approached each other, eventually colliding violently.

Two torrents.

On one side was the Konoha army led by Tsunade.

On one side was the combined army of Sunagakure and the Land of Stars, led by Yekura and Natsumi.

Ninja tools are launched.

Swords and blades crisscrossed.

Ninjutsu blossoms.

A burst of punches and kicks erupted.

When the two armies clashed, a fierce battle immediately broke out.

Almost every moment, people were falling, and the forest was quickly filled with a strong smell of blood.

With Naraku and Hakura's perfect teamwork,

The combined forces of the Land of Stars and the Sand Village launched a massive and fierce offensive against Konoha.

"Beware of the summoned beasts on the enemy's body; they can heal the enemy's wounds."

"Take care of the enemy's summoned beasts first."

"Kill! Don't give the enemy a chance to breathe!"

"."

Amidst the fierce fighting, one could see that each member of the Konoha faction had a slug perched on their shoulder.

Whenever a member of Konoha is injured, the slug immediately releases chakra to heal the wounded.

While its healing effect is not as good as the Hundred Healings Technique, this kind of healing undoubtedly greatly reduces the casualties among Konoha personnel.

Having clashed with Konoha many times, Sunagakure was already used to this scene and even loudly reminded the people from the Land of Stars, their ally.
