The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Master Yuan nodded slowly, his slightly raised gaze seemingly able to pierce through the long border and see the Hidden Leaf Village in the Land of Fire and the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning, and said softly.

"Yes!!!"

Kirigakure has officially begun its operations.

Unlike their previous wait-and-see approach, this time they intend to get involved in a real fight. Of course, it's still uncertain who the blade will be aimed at.

The only certainty is that neither Genji nor Mei Terumi will allow the core interests of their own ninja village to be encroached upon by ninja villages from other countries.

As long as this can be ensured.

As for the rest, neither Genji nor Mei Terumi cares. Even if Konoha weakens and Kumogakure rises, at most it will just be a change of the dominant power in the ninja world. At this stage, Kirigakure doesn't want to get involved in these things, nor does it have the ability to do so!

They only want to protect their own little corner of the ninja village!

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

The Mist Ninjas, gathered after receiving the conscription order.

These are all elite ninja from the village, the Kirigakure who survived the even more brutal and bloody internal strife of the Blood Mist several years ago. Apart from the rookie genin who graduated in the new generation and a few lucky ones, the rest are all elites who have lived on the edge of death.

Even if it's just three thousand people, the combat power they can unleash is unparalleled, not to mention that the leader is Mei Terumi, who is currently at a level comparable to a Kage.

Based on past experience, such a legion composition is sufficient to deal with almost any hostile situation.

Moreover, the main force of this operation is Kumogakure and Konoha.

On this point, both Genji and Terumi Mei saw it very clearly, and it was only when the personnel were complete and the resources were almost mobilized that things were going well.

As Bi, in the name of Master Yuan, sent a reply agreeing to the joint operation with Konoha.

Mei Terumi led these Mist Ninja through the towering waves.

They sped off towards the mainland.

This was before the Mist Ninja took action.

Just as Master Yuan had predicted, the Cloud Ninjas, located in the northeastern corner of the continent, took the lead in launching their operation.

It can be said that the Fourth Raikage received the news even earlier than the Master.

Almost immediately after corroboration from their own intelligence system.

He instantly flew into a rage!

The ferocity he displayed in the office made it seem as if he wanted to fly to the front lines immediately, find Orochimaru, Menma, and the others, and devour them alive.

Although based on current intelligence, there is no 100% evidence to confirm that Darui and his group died at the hands of Orochimaru and Menma.

But with things like this, having doubts is enough.

Not to mention.

The Nine-Tails was the prey that the Fourth Raikage had been longing to obtain.

And now we also need to add the six-tailed and seven-tailed ones.

This is simply a collection of interests and hatred.

The Fourth Raikage couldn't possibly refrain from taking action, especially since Konoha had conveniently provided him with a solution the moment he fell asleep. Thus, the Fourth Raikage once again made a decisive move.

Directly when the intelligence is conclusive.

An order for mobilization in preparation for war was issued.

Of course, even in his fury, the Fourth Raikage, A, still maintained basic rationality and did not intend to wage a full-scale war, partly because he was wary of the preparations made by Konoha and Kirigakure.

The five great ninja villages have been fighting each other for decades.

Talking about trust and friendship?

That's a joke.

No matter the circumstances, the five great ninja villages must always be wary and cautious of each other. The scenario of being in the middle of a battle with one of the other ninja villages, only to be suddenly ambushed from behind, has happened countless times in the past three Shinobi World Wars.

Konoha was indeed the hardest-hit area.

The Hidden Cloud Village has also experienced hardship.

The Hidden Stone Village during the Third Shinobi World War is a recent example.

Therefore, the Fourth Raikage not only did not relax his vigilance in the slightest, but also further strengthened the defensive forces on the necessary defensive line.

As for Orochimaru, Menma Uzumaki, and the issues that arose later with Kusagakure and Takigakure.

This time!

The Fourth Raikage plans to lead the team himself!

Coincidentally, the Fourth Raikage really didn't want to see something like this happen again. The enemy he had to deal with now was someone that could be considered a great ninja village of equal caliber: Takigakure and Kusagakure!

The number of combat-ready troops reached seven or eight thousand, or even more.

Most importantly, there are three Jinchuriki who are Tailed Beasts!

And Orochimaru, a Five Kage-level figure who has been famous for many years (even now, most people outside still believe that Menma belongs to Orochimaru).

If we have to hand it over to someone else to take care of it.

That's no longer a question of whether we're cautious enough or not.

It's not that he's stupid, it's that his brain is completely malfunctioning.

The Fourth Raikage, who was determined to assert his village's dominance with overwhelming force, issued the order from top to bottom without any hesitation.

Also present were more than 3,000 elite Cloud Ninja, as well as Yugito, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki who was specially summoned back by the Fourth Raikage.

It was under the leadership of this Fourth Raikage.

They sped downhill, heading towards Takigakure Village, located in the southwest of the Land of Lightning.

I must say this.

This Fourth Raikage is truly unparalleled in his execution ability.

When Konoha Village received the news...

The Fourth Raikage had already led his Cloud Ninja forces into the Land of Frost, and then headed west towards the Land of Waterfall.

"Fourth Raikage, shouldn't we wait for Konoha to act together? And Kirigakure, I heard that Konoha also sent someone there to request a joint operation. Judging from the current situation, it's either the other two should step up first, or it's most appropriate for all three to act together. If we ignite the war first, we are likely to suffer the heaviest blow. In any case, there are three Jinchuriki there now."

On the road that is moving at breakneck speed.

The advisor Tsuchida, who was standing right next to the Fourth Raikage, also looked at the Fourth Raikage's profile with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice.

The operation itself.

The earthen platform does not object.

There was hatred in the air. Tsuchikage knew all too well Darui's place in his village and in the heart of his Raikage. The killing of such an important figure was bound to be met with revenge. After all, Kumogakure was not Konoha.

Otherwise, the Fourth Raikage wouldn't have directly confronted Konoha when there was only a tiny hint of trouble. Now that it's almost certain that Orochimaru and Menma Uzumaki were behind it, taking action was inevitable.

Furthermore, it is said that there are also enormous benefits from the six-tailed, seven-tailed, and nine-tailed tails.

It is impossible for Tutai not to support it.

However, he also opposed such a hasty deployment of troops. The situation definitely needs to be made public, but at least Konoha should be involved.

This is not just about sharing the pressure, but also about putting pressure on Konoha.

Tsuchitai didn't want to see their entire ninja village end up fighting Orochimaru and Menma Uzumaki; the risk was too high.

"Tsuchikage, necessary caution is indeed necessary, but it depends on the situation. Now is not the time to worry about such details. Hmph, wait for Konoha to make a move? No, I will not give up such an advantage. As for the risks you mentioned? As long as we defeat the enemy with overwhelming force, isn't that enough? Besides, do you think Konoha would still hesitate when they have taken the initiative to propose it? Would they dare? The initiative is in our hands now, unless those guys from Konoha really want to start a full-scale war with our Hidden Cloud Village. But even if that happens, I have ways to deal with it!"

The Fourth Raikage, A, didn't even turn his head, uttering those words with a tone that seemed to carry disdain.

This caused Tu Tai's expression to change slightly.

The next second, a look of realization dawned on his eyes. At that moment, Tsuchida could finally understand why his Fourth Raikage had so decisively led his troops forward.

Seize the initiative!

That's the most crucial and important thing!

Once this is ensured, what happens next is still up to the Hidden Cloud Village, isn't it?

After realizing this, and especially after confirming that his Raikage was not truly driven by rage and recklessly charged forward, the heavy weight on Tsuchida's heart gradually eased.

"I understand what you mean. I'll pay extra attention to the other side."

Tu Tai nodded in reply.

"Yes, I'll leave it to you. This time, I'll make the entire ninja world tremble in fear of the power of Kumogakure!"

The Fourth Raikage snorted coldly.

The aura emanating from his body was like a raging thunderbolt.

With a burst of chakra.

They moved forward at an even faster speed.

All eyes were drawn to them, and the three major ninja villages began to act independently, while Menma had anticipated and prepared for this.

They mobilized the three major ninja villages.

Especially as the troops from Kumogakure approached at top speed.

Mianma also received the most accurate information immediately.

It should be said that even if they were already aware of this, upon receiving intelligence that Kumogakure and Konoha were acting in tandem (because of the distance, they had not yet received news from Kirigakure at this time), they were still in a precarious situation.

Even with a muscular face, he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his chest.

Even the dough is like this.

Not to mention Shemu, Ajun, and others.

Upon receiving the message, they all clearly showed expressions of tension and worry.
