The world I hear is completely different from yours.

P.S. This is a belated second update. I'm really sorry, I'm feeling incredibly negative today and can't write anything cheerful.

...........

P.S. Guo Degang once said something like this in his crosstalk performance "Fear of the Rich": Yu Qian's father, Old Master Wang, was a kind-hearted rich man who declared, "I can't control other places, but there can't be any poor people within a ten-mile radius of me." Then, he drove away all the poor people in the neighborhood. Because "I'm kind-hearted and can't stand seeing poor people," and now, it seems, they've actually appeared.

Chapter 55 Using one's strengths to exploit another's weaknesses

When the first watchtower at the edge of the Iwa ninja camp was crushed by a Konoha summoning beast, almost all the Iwa ninja sentries were startled by the loud noise and realized the menacing enemy was approaching. Then, as if a drop of water had fallen into boiling oil, a deafening alarm blared throughout the entire Iwa ninja camp! Instantly, amidst the piercing alarm, large numbers of Iwa ninja awoke, grabbed their weapons, rushed out of their tents, and prepared for battle!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!" "All troops, form ranks and prepare for battle!!" As the victors who had just won a battle, the Iwa ninja army was in high spirits, eager to teach Konoha a lesson! Therefore, after being attacked unexpectedly, they quickly recovered from the chaos of the surprise attack and, under the command of many Iwa ninja squad leaders, regrouped and formed ranks!

"Don't panic! This is just Konoha's last desperate struggle! The weaknesses of those Konoha puppets are obvious. Just attack them as you did in the previous battle. There's nothing to be afraid of!" A squad leader of Iwa ninja shouted confidently to his subordinates, giving them a final boost to their morale before the battle. What could be more inspiring than the victory they had just won?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground beneath the Iwa ninja's feet trembled violently, caused by the stomping of countless colossal beasts, shaking as if an earthquake had struck. Finally, amidst the rumbling of the earth, the Iwa ninja saw the enemy charging towards them in the distance. Contrary to their expectations, this time, dozens of summoning beasts the size of small mountains appeared before them! And behind these summoning beasts followed countless massive serpent golems! Faced with this unprecedented onslaught, many Iwa ninja felt a faint sense of fear rising in their hearts!

"Attack! All-out attack!!" Amidst the shouts of the Iwa ninja squad leaders, countless ninjutsu streaked across the sky, illuminating the entire heavens, and crashed down upon Konoha's summoning beast army! In this series of explosions, the well-prepared Iwa ninja army and the frenzied Konoha summoning beast puppet army collided heavily!

In that instant, screams and explosions resounded throughout the heavens and earth!

The first clash between the two sides quickly decided the outcome, and the result was, of course, a crushing defeat for the Iwa ninja! After all, how could human flesh and blood possibly compare to those giant summoned beasts in close combat? Even though many Iwa ninjas used numerous defensive Earth Release techniques in front of their lines, how could those hastily summoned earth walls and rock formations possibly stop the summoned beasts, which were as large as small mountains, that were charging at high speed?

This was Jiraiya's plan: if they couldn't win a long-range war of attrition on the main battlefield, they would simply escalate the battle into close-quarters combat! Avoiding one's own weaknesses and fully utilizing one's own strengths—that's the mark of a qualified commander!

Under the cover of night, Konoha's summoning beasts and puppets were able to quickly close the distance with the Iwa ninja army. Caught off guard by Konoha's attack, the Iwa ninja army did not have enough range to use long-range ninjutsu to wear down the enemy. Therefore, in just a short moment after the battle began, the Iwa ninja army was forced to engage in close-quarters melee combat with Konoha. This was precisely the fighting style that Konoha's summoning beasts and hydra goblins excelled at!

"Hoo!!" A gigantic bull-like summoned beast charged swiftly into the Iwa ninja's defensive line, breaching several of their fortifications in one go. Then, with a sudden leap, it lifted a massive fortress into the sky! The Iwa ninja still inside the fortress screamed in terror, finally crashing heavily to the ground along with the entire fortress, blood splattering everywhere! Only one of the most agile Iwa ninja managed to escape at the last moment, but before he could even rejoice in his survival, several explosive arrows fired from the Hydralisk golems flew in, pinning the resentful Iwa ninja to the ground!

After these giant summoned beasts broke through the Iwa ninja's defensive line, the more than 30,000 hydra golems behind them also swarmed in from these breaches, beginning a frenzied slaughter of the Iwa ninja whose formation had been broken by the summoned beasts! Relying on this attack combination of summoned beasts breaking through and hydra golems following, the Konoha forces actually managed to crush the Iwa ninja army to the ground!

On the other side, beside a giant salamander, large numbers of Iwa ninjas collapsed like wheat in a storm. Their faces, purple from poisoning, were covered in blood vessels, their mouths were full of blood, and they could only weakly wave their hands, trying to grasp at the elusive hope of life.

"Damn it! What kind of poison is this? Why are these antidotes completely ineffective?!" A medical ninja from Iwagakure frantically waved his hands, pouring various antidotes into his mouth. But no matter how much he poured, blood continued to seep from his mouth and nose. He could only watch helplessly as the blood and antidotes mixed together, smearing his corpse with a colorful mess.

This is the deadly poison that made "demigod" Hanzo the Salamander famous. The medical ninjas who can concoct the corresponding antidote are all among the strongest in the world! But there is no one like that in the Iwa ninja army! They can only watch helplessly as large numbers of Iwa ninjas collapse to the ground, powerless to fight back, as the swarming Hydralisk puppets finish them off one by one!

"Damn it! Where did Konoha find so many summoning beasts?!" Behind the Iwa ninja's position, an Iwa ninja strategist closed his eyes in exasperation, gripping the long, red-yellow-blue binoculars that were said to be able to "reach every house," and cursed with resentment, "Using such a surprise attack tactic, these Konoha bastards are too despicable! In a normal battlefield, relying on our army's ranged ninjutsu to wear them down, those Konoha puppets and summoning beasts wouldn't even be able to get to us!"

"It seems we'll have to use the same behemoths too!" the Iwagakure commander said coldly. "Men, send out the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails! Let these Konoha bastards see the huge difference between tailed beasts and summoned beasts!"

"Yes!!"

Soon, under the command of the Iwa ninja commander, two waves of malevolent tailed beast chakra erupted, blocking the path of the Konoha army!

"This chakra texture?! It's a tailed beast!" Jiraiya, standing atop the giant toad's head, widened his eyes. "Damn Onoki, no wonder my impersonation of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki didn't work before. It turns out the Hidden Stone Village has already brought a Jinchuriki to the battlefield?!"

.............

P.S. First update, sorry for the late post, I just got home.

Chapter 56 Jiraiya and the Two Jinchūriki

"Two Jinchūriki? This is troublesome! Are you really planning to continue fighting, Jiraiya? You probably haven't even mastered Sage Mode yet, have you?" Gamabunta took a deep drag on his cigarette, looking annoyed by the trouble, but his words showed none of the panic one would expect from a Tailed Beast. As a colossal toad raised on Mount Myōboku, he had fought countless Tailed Beasts throughout his long life, so naturally he held no fear of them. This wasn't just confidence in his own strength, but also experience from the Tailed Beasts he had encountered before!

Right now, the only thing Gamabunta wants to confirm is the fighting spirit of Jiraiya, the summoner!

"Of course! Whether we can win or not is one thing, whether we dare to fight is another. At least we should try first!" Jiraiya coldly looked at the two Iwa ninjas in the distance who had grown tails and were covered in a semi-transparent chakra cloak. "Besides, they are only in their Jinchuriki state one at the moment. They can't use the Tailed Beast Bomb, so they shouldn't be too difficult to deal with!"

Jinchuriki are a nation's most important ultimate weapon and a deadly weapon on the battlefield. Therefore, to counter Jinchuriki, many ninja villages specifically train their strongest ninjas so that when these powerful ninjas encounter enemy Jinchuriki on the battlefield, they won't be defeated due to a lack of understanding of the Jinchuriki's fighting style. Thus, although Jiraiya had never seen Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he was very familiar with the various fighting styles of Jinchuriki.

There are four basic fighting stances for Jinchuriki: "Normal Form", "Exploding Tail Form 1", "Exploding Tail Form 2", and finally, Tailed Beast Transformation. There are also some special modes that only perfect Jinchuriki can achieve.

The so-called normal state is the way a Jinchuriki behaves normally. In this form, the Jinchuriki's appearance is no different from that of an ordinary person. They can use a small portion of the Tailed Beast's chakra to activate their own techniques, but the Tailed Beast inside remains obediently sealed and will not have any impact on the outside world. The evil chakra of the Tailed Beast will not erode the Jinchuriki's body or affect their spirit.

The problem stems from a conflict between the Jinchuriki's own chakra and the tiny amount of chakra leaking from the Tailed Beast. This results in the Jinchuriki lacking precision in chakra control, hindering their ability to properly train in ninjutsu. In the original story, young Naruto Uzumaki suffered from this very issue, preventing him from effectively controlling his chakra and causing him to consistently struggle with ninjutsu, becoming a "loser." However, don't assume Naruto's ninjutsu talent was truly lacking. In fact, before the Chunin Exams in the original story, after Jiraiya released Naruto's second seal, eliminating the interference of the Tailed Beast's chakra, Naruto, who previously couldn't learn water walking, instantly mastered it. This demonstrates Naruto's exceptional ninjutsu talent.

The so-called "Tail Explosion State One" occurs when a Jinchuriki becomes emotionally overwhelmed or actively releases the Tailed Beast's seal. In this state, the Tailed Beast's tail appears behind the Jinchuriki, and a semi-transparent chakra cloak appears on their body, increasing their attack and defense. In this state, the Jinchuriki's chakra reserves are greatly increased, and they can still use their own techniques. While they cannot use the Tailed Beast Bomb, they can use Tailed Beast chakra to create limbs for attacks—attacks that even the Sharingan cannot predict!

That's exactly how it happened in the original story. During the mission to retrieve Sasuke, Sasuke, with his Sharingan activated, was punched squarely in the face by Naruto in his Exploding Tail form—a "give me back my beautiful punch!" that landed right on Sasuke's nose, almost disfiguring him. One wonders if Sakura would still have married Sasuke if Naruto had actually made him look like a grotesque, crooked-nosed mess.

"Is the target of this mission the legendary Sannin on the other side?" The Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Rōshi, and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Han, exchanged a glance, then simultaneously stretched out their hands. Their chakra cloaks instantly transformed into extremely long arms, and they swung them fiercely with both hands!

Swish! Swish! Like a pair of scissors, it cut a large section of forest in half, along with a large number of Hydralisk golems and some Iwa ninja!

"Damn it! What's wrong with you guys? Why are you attacking your own comrades inside too?!" a nearby Iwa ninja cursed angrily.

"I'm so sorry! I couldn't handle it for a moment!" Old Zi replied casually, but his expression showed no remorse whatsoever; instead, there was a hint of smugness in his eyes!

After entering the Tailed Beast state, the Jinchuriki's mind and body begin to be corrupted by the Tailed Beast's chakra, and their emotions become increasingly volatile. While those Jinchuriki who love their village and comrades try their best to control their emotions, those like Rōshi and Han, who have extremely poor relationships with the village, gradually reveal their deep-seated malice towards it!

"What kind of attitude is this! You..." The Iwa ninja was about to say something, but after seeing the murderous look in Rōshi and Han's eyes, the Iwa ninja immediately realized what was happening and shut his mouth, no longer daring to say anything more.

"Hmph!" After seeing the Iwa ninja obediently shut his mouth, Rōshi and Han turned around and charged forward fiercely, quickly crossing the grove of trees they had just cleared and attacking Jiraiya at the front!

"They're attacking! Watch out! Jiraiya, hold on tight!" Gamabunta drew his short sword from his waist and hurled it forward, shouting a warning.

The next moment, Lao Zi and Han sidestepped the 40-meter-long "short sword". Then they watched as the large "short sword" continued its momentum and mercilessly cleaved down a large Iwagakure fortress. They did not make any move to stop it or save their comrades. Instead, they accelerated and finally rushed to Gamabunta's front!

"Lava Release: Scorching River Rock Technique!" Old Purple spat out a huge pile of magma balls, which hurled towards Jiraiya like a volcanic eruption!

"Boiling Release: Unparalleled Strength!" Han's body erupted with a large amount of boiling steam, and he charged towards Jiraiya like a tornado!

In that instant, Gamabunta suddenly gathered his strength and leaped, dodging the attacks from Rōshi and Han, and soared straight into the sky with Jiraiya above him!

.............

P.S. This is a belated second update. Some things came up at home, so I apologize for the irregular updates this weekend.

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Fire Rain and Blood Rain from the Sky

"Trying to run away? How dare such a coward be called one of the legendary Sannin?!" Seeing Jiraiya ride on Gamabunta's head and leap into the sky, Roshi and Han were instantly enraged, their eyes turning bloodshot! Jinchuriki, once in their Exploding Tail state, become extremely agitated, easily losing their temper and acting irrationally. Seeing Jiraiya flee into the sky instead of engaging in direct combat only fueled their fury!

Boom! In the midst of this extreme rage, several more tails suddenly appeared behind them, filled with a large amount of ominous chakra. The semi-transparent chakra garments that originally covered their bodies also began to turn pitch black, completely enveloping them in a black chakra! At the same time, the black chakra on their bodies began to condense, gradually materializing into the sharp fangs and claws unique to tailed beasts, making them look almost like miniature tailed beasts!

Tail Explosion State Two! As the seal is broken, the number of tails behind the Jinchuriki continues to increase, and the Tailed Beast's chakra begins to violently erode the Jinchuriki's mind and body. Under these circumstances, almost all Jinchuriki begin to gradually lose their own consciousness. At the same time, their entire bodies are wrapped in a black chakra cloak, which greatly enhances their attack and defense capabilities, and they can even use the Tailed Beast Cannon!

In the original story, when Naruto faced Orochimaru at the Tenchi Bridge, his extreme rage caused him to unleash four tails. He then almost completely lost his consciousness and went berserk, while his body began to develop exoskeletons resembling the Nine-Tails, making him look like a miniature Nine-Tails! In this state, Naruto completely disregarded friend and foe, even leaving a huge scar on the chest of Jiraiya, who was in charge of guiding him at the time, almost causing Jiraiya to collapse!

"Old Purple" and "Han" raised their heads, looked at the sky above, opened their mouths full of fangs, and let out a beast-like howl. At this moment, they could no longer be called human, but should be called by two other names: the four-tailed "Wukong" and the five-tailed "Mu Wang"!

"Damn it! They've already entered Explosive Tail Form 2 so quickly? Don't they care about their Iwa ninja comrades around them at all?!" Jiraiya looked at the two "ninjas" on the ground and quickly formed hand seals: "Never mind, we just need to stall for as long as possible! If we can hold them off for a while longer, Konoha's summoning beasts and insectoid puppets will be able to completely tear through the Iwa ninja's defenses!"

"Gamabunta, prepare the combination ninjutsu!" Jiraiya shouted, then took a deep breath and unleashed his most powerful ninjutsu: "Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet!"

At the same time, Gamabunta opened his mouth wide and sprayed large amounts of toad oil onto the ground. This highly flammable oil was instantly turned into a vast sea of ​​fire by Jiraiya's Fire Release technique!

Combination Ninjutsu * Toad Oil Flame Bullet!

Instantly, countless balls of flame slammed into the ground. Because the centers of these flames were filled with extremely dense toad oil, they floated on the surface, making them impossible to counter with water-style techniques – truly inextinguishable flames! For a moment, it was as if a rain of fire had fallen from the sky, as countless scorching fireballs violently struck the ground, engulfing a large area of ​​the battlefield and igniting a raging inferno, instantly transforming the entire battlefield into a fiery hell! Within this hell, countless Iwa ninja and Hydralisk puppets continued their frenzied battle, painting this hellish landscape with a bloody hue!

Amidst the rain of fire, the Four-Tails Goku and the Five-Tails Kokuou neither dodged nor evaded, standing firmly in place and withstanding several fire-style attacks. At the same time, their bellies rapidly swelled up, and then they suddenly opened their mouths wide, revealing a black sphere radiating powerful chakra fluctuations, which they aimed at Gamabunta and Jiraiya in the sky!

Tailed Beast Bomb! This is a Tailed Beast power that a Jinchuriki can only use after entering the Exploding Tailed Beast state 2! And it's the simultaneous release of two Tailed Beasts!

"Damn it! They didn't even try to dodge! Have they completely lost their ninja consciousness and are acting entirely on their tailed beast instincts?!" Jiraiya's eyes widened, alarm bells rang in his mind, and he instinctively reached out and formed the hand seal he considered his trump card for survival!

In the next instant, two black beams of light pierced the sky! The immense chakra caused the entire world to lose its color! The beams of light, filled with destructive power, passed straight through Gamabunta's body, and finally through Jiraiya's body!

The fire rain that had enveloped the battlefield stopped, and then countless drops of blood fell from the sky, turning the entire battlefield into a rain of blood—the blood of Gamabunta!

The legendary Sannin have been defeated!

"We succeeded! Against two tailed beasts, the legendary Sannin are no match at all!" On the rear lines of the Iwa ninja, an Iwa ninja strategist jumped up excitedly, waving his red, yellow, and blue binoculars and shouting, "Next, all we need to do is eliminate all of Konoha's other summoning beasts and Hydralisk puppets, then we can march directly to attack Konoha! Konoha definitely doesn't have many troops left!"

Boom!! Another black beam of light, like a slender scalpel, sliced ​​across the battlefield at an angle, cutting all the Iwa ninjas and Hydralisk puppets in the way in half, and finally cutting the Salamanders that were releasing poison on the other side of the battlefield into two halves of different sizes!

"Damn it! Can't those two damned Jinchuriki aim a little better? They've already hurt so many of their comrades! Beasts are beasts!" another Iwa ninja strategist cursed angrily, clearly disgusted by the two Jinchuriki. "Perhaps we should send out the sealing team sooner to reseal them?"

Clearly, the Hidden Stone Village (Iwagakure) was well aware of the hostile relationship between its Jinchūriki and the village. Therefore, they had tampered with the Tailed Beast seals long ago, allowing them to forcibly activate the seals on the Jinchūriki when necessary, turning them back to their normal state from their Tailed Beast-bursting state! This is one of the reasons why the Hidden Stone Village was completely unafraid of backlash from the Tailed Beasts and Jinchūriki! It is also why, in the original story, Rōshi only defected and became a rogue ninja, instead of directly unleashing the Four-Tails to transform into a giant gorilla and attack the Hidden Stone Village, causing a major disturbance!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The black Tailed Beast Cannon roared continuously on the battlefield, relentlessly annihilating the giant summoning beasts of Konoha. At the same time, it also "accidentally" killed all the Iwa ninja and Hydralisk puppets blocking its way. It had an aura of killing gods and Buddhas if they couldn't get in its way, which made the Iwa ninja strategists behind it feel heartache. They stomped their feet and cursed loudly!

PS First update

Chapter 58 How can you play without enabling friendly fire?

The night was well past midnight, and the fierce battle on the Iwa ninja's lines was drawing to a close. With the defeat of Jiraiya, Konoha's strongest warrior, the two tailed beasts of Iwa could finally free up their forces to eliminate the remaining giant summoning beasts in the Konoha army one by one. As the giant summoning beasts, serving as the assault troops and main force for attack, fell, the hydra golems, whose fighting strength was already inferior to that of the Iwa army, gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

"It seems Konoha is doomed to fail this time!" Orochimaru, who was stationed at Konoha's position, said grimly, based on the video signals transmitted back by the many Hydralisk puppets. "Moreover, those Hydralisk puppets are remotely controlled by signal communication devices mounted on the giant summoning beasts. Once those Iwa ninja destroy the signal communication devices, all the Hydralisk puppets will be completely immobilized! In that case, we might as well make the most of them while we still have control!"

Then Little Red Riding Hood's mechanical, electronic female voice rang out: "Beep! The number of controllable Hydralisk golems is less than one thousand, triggering the final emergency plan! Hydralisk golem self-destruct program initiated! All Hydralisk golems begin their self-destruct charge!"

In any case, once the remote control signal is lost, the Hydralisk golems left on the battlefield will cease movement due to the signal interruption and fall into enemy hands. So why not take advantage of this last bit of signal and let these Hydralisk golems give full play to their remaining strength! At such a critical moment, isn't it great to let the Hydralisks act as Banelings for a death charge?

Suddenly, all the Iwa ninjas on the battlefield were surprised to find that the Hydralisk puppets, which had been desperately spraying explosive arrows, suddenly changed their fighting style and rushed forward recklessly, charging into the crowd and then exploding!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Amidst a series of explosions, the monitor screen in front of Orochimaru turned completely white, clearly because all the Hydralisk puppets providing the battlefield footage had turned into bombs and self-destructed.

"Beep! Network connection lost. All Hydralisk Golems have lost signal!" Little Red Riding Hood mechanically announced. "Switch to build mode and begin producing new Hydralisk Golems!"

"It's over. It seems that this battle has truly been a defeat for Konoha! I wonder if Jiraiya is still alive?" Orochimaru muttered to himself. In the instant Jiraiya was hit by the Tailed Beast Bomb, Orochimaru keenly saw the hand seal that Jiraiya formed. It was the seal for the Reverse Summoning Technique. Through this method of reverse summoning, Jiraiya could be directly summoned back to the territory of the toads: Mount Myōboku, to escape.

However, judging from the blood rain falling over the battlefield, Gamabunta and Jiraiya must have been hit by the Tailed Beast Bomb. Even if they barely managed to escape to Mount Myōboku in the instant they were seriously injured, it is unknown whether they can be saved in time. After all, even Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, is not sure if she can recover from such a serious injury!

"Now, I'm the only main fighting force left on Konoha's side!" Orochimaru's face was uncertain as he hesitated, wondering whether he should take action, risking exposing his connection with Konoha, and lead the remaining hundred or so ninjas on Konoha's side in a final stand to buy time for Little Red Riding Hood to create the insectoid puppet. After all, the current Orochimaru didn't yet possess the utterly indifferent madness he would later display towards Konoha; he still harbored a sliver of desire to protect the village.

Just as Orochimaru was hesitating, Ten's voice came through the remaining signal device and echoed in the command room of the Konoha camp, "The battle is not over yet, because I have returned!"

High above the Iwa ninja's position, Ameharu piloted the Freedom Gundam, concealed within the thick clouds, coldly observing the Iwa ninja on the ground through the gaps in the mist. After destroying the mountain that might have housed the chakra railgun, Ameharu had rushed as fast as he could, finally arriving at the battlefield from the Land of Grass at this moment!

.........................

Meanwhile, the Iwa ninja were cleaning up the battlefield, tending to their wounded and dead. Although they had successfully repelled the Konoha army's surprise attack, they had paid a heavy price. The subsequent attacks by the two Jinchūriki, which were deliberately launched under false pretenses, claimed the lives of many Iwa ninja. Many Iwa ninja, while managing to dodge the attacks of Konoha's giant summoning beast and the Hydralisk puppet, were tragically killed by their own Jinchūriki's Tailed Beast Cannon.

After all, this isn't a game; there's no mechanism to prevent friendly fire.

In the rear command center of the Iwa ninja, an Iwa ninja strategist walked heavily into the command tent. Although the Iwa ninja had won the battle this time, there was no joy on the strategist's face: "Report! The barrier team has reactivated the tailed beast seals on the Jinchuriki, returning them to their normal state. Both Jinchuriki have now been taken to the rear for strict guard."

"Those two bastards! They actually killed so many of their comrades. They must be dealt with properly later!" another Iwa ninja strategist cursed viciously.

The Iwa ninja commander nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but continued to ask in a low voice, "Have the casualty statistics for our side been released? What's the situation?"

The Iwa ninja strategist wore a somber expression, his words filled with grief: "This time, our army suffered heavy losses. Most of the Iwa ninja were killed in action, and most of the remaining Earth ninja were seriously wounded. Currently, there are less than a thousand people who can continue fighting, which is less than one-tenth of our original number!"

This time, Konoha went all in, throwing all 30,000+ Hydralisk puppets into battle, along with a giant summoning beast as the vanguard, using the darkness as cover for a sneak attack. Although they were ultimately wiped out, they inflicted heavy casualties on the Iwa ninja. Coupled with the malicious attacks from their own Jinchuriki, this once formidable main force of Iwa ninja was completely crippled!

"Don't worry! Konoha's losses are greater than ours!" The Iwa ninja commander suppressed his grief and said loudly, "Don't forget, we still have a logistics reserve in the Land of Grass. Just wait a few more days, and the Third Tsuchikage will lead reinforcements to arrive. In addition, with the recovered Iwa ninja, we can at least muster an army of eight thousand men. Just wait a few more days, and we can take Konoha in one fell swoop!"

PS: This is the second update. I also made some revisions to a previous chapter. You readers are very helpful in finding bugs, so I quickly went back to rewrite the content. Thank you to the kind readers for pointing them out.
