Only I can make Konoha Village great again.

Yamanaka Hatsukyu led eight hundred Konoha ninjas to infiltrate Kirigakure.

The process went so smoothly that it didn't feel like a free-flowing exercise; it was more like a deliberately deliberate, water-laden drill.

Kirigakure is too big, not only because there are too many Kirigakure ninja, but also because the hostility between them is too strong. They are all like hedgehogs with their quills raised, and there is not enough space to maintain distance. They can fight at any time.

Even the Blood Mist Village cannot withstand the constant civil war.

Normally, Kirigakure is full of Kirigakure ninja, so the village's size isn't a problem.

But now it's wartime, and the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, has transferred almost all of the Hidden Mist ninjas, leaving the entire village eerily empty, which brings all the problems to the surface.

Kirigakure was short-handed, and even with all his efforts, Master Yuan could only barely cover the village with patrols and sentries.

Forget about being thorough in every aspect, they can't even manage continuous monitoring.

Eight hundred Konoha ninjas infiltrated from the outside, reaching the Mizukage Building and the Master's residence, and were not discovered at all.

Every Konoha ninja knew they were destined to win!

Last time, when they infiltrated the Cloud Village's territory on such a large battlefield, they were discovered by the Cloud Village ninja more than once, which led to several battles.

When they attacked Kumogakure, Yugito Nii received an alarm when they were over a hundred miles away and began mobilizing the village's retired ninjas.

And this Hidden Mist Village is practically dead!

According to the plan, the first attack to be launched was a surprise attack on Zabuza.

Because he patrols the outskirts of Kirigakure, he can tie down more Kirigakure ninjas after a surprise attack, forcing them to come out from the core area.

Just before the plan was to be launched, Yamanaka Chujiu called a halt: "Master Yuan has left his home, and judging from the direction he's heading, he should be going to the Water Shadow Building."

"The original assault team has moved to the left side of the Water Shadow Building as ordered by me, and is preparing to cooperate with the teammates to besiege the Water Shadow Building."

"yes!"

The Konoha ninja quickly adjusted their formation and moved swiftly to the Mizukage Building, where they quietly awaited the arrival of their master.

At this time, Kirigakure was shrouded in thick fog, and there was absolute silence everywhere. Only occasionally could one hear the sounds of Kirigakure ninja on patrol.

After assessing the overall situation, Yamanaka Hatsukyu decisively ordered, "This time, no more hiding! Eliminate the patrolling ninjas near the Mizukage Building!"

The Konoha ninjas acted immediately, rushing onto the street with the speed of ghosts, quickly taking down the patrolling Kirigakure ninjas. There was no subduing, only killing without leaving any survivors.

They were very careful not to use sharp weapons, but instead twisted the necks of the Hidden Mist ninjas to prevent the smell of blood from leaking out and alerting the approaching Yuan Shi.

When Master Yuan arrived at the Water Shadow Building, he still sensed something was amiss.

He glanced at the towering Water Shadow Building, listened intently for a moment, and sighed, "I didn't hear the patrol team. They're slacking off again."

"Discipline in Kirigakure has collapsed..."

The master's attendant advised, "Master, please wait..."

Genji waved his hand and said, "I know. I know I can't rush things, waiting for Terumi Mei to grow up and for Yagura Karatachi to grow old."

"I was just expressing my feelings..."

When the master trembled as he entered the Mizukage Building and went into Mei Terumi's office, he discovered that the small room was filled with all the ninjas of the Terumi clan, making the atmosphere even more tense.

Master Yuan immediately knew something was wrong: "What anomaly have you discovered?"

Terumi Mei said, "Master Yuan, there's a communication problem."

"The magic of the water mirror has been interfered with, and our communication with the outer patrol team has been eavesdropped on."

Master Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Do you know who did it?"

Mei Terumi shook her head and said, "I don't know, but I have a feeling that an enemy has infiltrated the village, so I invited you here."

Master Yuan nodded: "You did the right thing. My home is not as well-defended as the Water Shadow Building."

"Have you notified Qing?"

Mei Terumi: "He's on his way, he'll be here soon."

Yamanaka Chujiu couldn't hear what they were saying, but he could clearly sense the suppressed emotional fluctuations that Terumi Mei and Genji had after meeting.

"Heh, as expected of the future Fifth Mizukage, you're only 18 years old but you're already so shrewd. I almost fell for your tricks."

"The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie, no matter how young she is."

"Let's get started!"

Zabuza Momochi was patrolling the edge of Kirigakure when he suddenly sensed an unfamiliar chakra fluctuation.

Just as he cautiously signaled to stop, an unfamiliar surge of chakra erupted, so numerous that it was impossible to count them all.

He immediately realized that he had been ambushed.

Zabuza had no time to think. He immediately drew his ninja sword and led more than ten Kirigakure ninja to launch a counterattack in the direction from which the chakra fluctuations came, attempting to disrupt the attackers' advance with his own attack.

But he only ran two steps before turning around and running away.

Because more chakra fluctuations erupted, numbering at least a hundred, and these were all ninjas from major countries with enormous chakra reserves.

No matter how confident Zabuza was, he couldn't possibly believe he could fight against ninjas from hundreds of major nations. Turning around and running away was the best option.

However, the number of Konoha ninja that Yamanaka Hatsukyu brought to deal with Zabuza was not just a hundred, but two hundred.

Moreover, Yamanaka Hatsukyu had carefully calculated the patrol routes of the Hidden Mist ninjas and arranged ambushes specifically for Momochi Zabuza. How could he possibly let him turn around and run away?

Zabuza and a dozen or so Kirigakure ninjas turned around and ran not far before they encountered a blocking position ahead, along with over a hundred Konoha ninjas who were suppressing their auras with all their might.

Seeing the well-organized Konoha ninja before him, Zabuza's face turned pale, but he gritted his teeth and questioned, "Konoha ninja? You dare to launch a surprise attack on Kirigakure?"

The Konoha ninja did not answer, but instead quickly formed hand seals, responding to the Kirigakure ninja with a barrage of ninjutsu, kunai, and shuriken.

At the same time, ninjutsu attacks from behind arrived, forming an impenetrable net of death.

Two hundred Konoha ninjas surrounded and attacked sixteen Kirigakure ninjas. This was not only a calculated attack, but also a result of their prior reconnaissance of the terrain, allowing them to launch a comprehensive attack with no blind spots.

The result was that the attack ended in the first round.

Almost all the Hidden Mist ninjas died on the spot.

Only Zabuza Momochi, with his astonishing strength, managed to find a sliver of hope amidst the dense barrage of attacks, surviving by sheer luck at the cost of being struck by three kunai and four shuriken.

"Zabuza, you've already lost. Surrender now."

A Konoha Jonin, looking at Zabuza struggling to stand, said in a deep voice, "Yagura Karatachi was suppressed by Lord Orochimaru in the Land of Waves."

"The Hidden Mist Village is extremely depleted; the total number of Hidden Mist ninjas is no more than two thousand."

"Our surprise attack was led by Lord Yamanaka Hatsukyu. No matter how much you resist and struggle, you cannot save Kirigakure from its impending fall."

"Don't even think about it!"

Zabuza roared, enduring the pain in his body, and quickly formed hand seals: "Water Release: Great Exploding Water Wave Technique!"

He unleashed a massive wave that swept towards the Konoha ninja.

The Konoha ninja were well prepared for Zabuza's attack.

The Nara ninja immediately used the Shadow Binding Technique to restrain the heavily injured Zabuza.

The Akimichi clan ninja used their Expansion Technique to block the first wave of impact.

These honest-looking fat men withstood the impact of the water-based attack thanks to their strong physiques.

At the same time, the parasitic insects of the Aburame clan crawled onto Zabuza's body, injecting paralyzing toxins that forced him into a coma.

The battle ended completely after only one round.
