The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Otherwise, no matter how great a person's prestige is, it is impossible for them to get everyone to carry out an attack plan that they know will lead to certain death and is completely meaningless.

Death is not something that ninjas are particularly afraid of.

But a death that has no meaning or value is something they would absolutely resist.

At least until he had squeezed the last bit of value out of Kirigakure, Obito still needed to put in more effort to "coax" these Kirigakure ninja. His Eye of the Moon plan required the hard work of these nearly 10,000 Kirigakure ninja.

We still need to give these Mist Ninja hope.

After regaining control of Kirigakure this time.

Every order was carefully considered by Obito before being issued, taking into account not only its rationality but also its suitability to the style of the Kirigakure ninja.

Perhaps in the presence of someone truly familiar with Yuan Shi, or someone with astonishing judgment, the flaws of the Yuan Shi impersonated by the White Zetsu ordered by Obito were still somewhat obvious.

But no one in Kirigakure can tell right now.

Everything that can be seen has already been cleaned up.

The remaining people are just simple thugs. Take Hyacinth, the Jonin from Kirigakure on the front line, for example. Her strength is passable, and she's not bad-witted, but it's hard to say whether she's particularly intelligent, observant, or strong.

Of the remaining people in Kirigakure (those who haven't been replaced by White Zetsu), Hyacinth is already considered one of the most outstanding.

The Mist Ninja were continuously being dispatched to the front lines.

This is also the first time in decades that the 'Master' has left the ninja village.

When the two are combined...

The morale boost it provides to the Mist Ninja on the front lines is unparalleled.

When news spread that the same master had also landed on the southern coast of the Land of Rivers, the morale of the Mist Ninja reached an extremely high level.

They firmly believed that their master had orchestrated everything perfectly, and that they only needed to follow his instructions to defeat their enemy, wash away the shame of their previous defeat, and reclaim the Three-Tails and Six-Tails that rightfully belonged to their Hidden Mist Village.

"Water Release - Water Bubble Jade Technique".

"Earth Escape - Earth Formation Wall Technique".

"Lei Dun!"

"Wind Release!"

"Fire escape!"

"Ding ding ding ding ding!"

For a time, the border area between the Land of Rivers and the Land of Grass was filled with the powerful figures of the Mist Ninja.

It's come to this point.

The vast border and the overwhelming numerical disadvantage of the Light Ninja gave the Mist Ninja a clear advantage, with large numbers of them even able to cross the border and penetrate deep into the heart of the Land of Grass.

The previously impregnable fortified strongholds were breached in less than ten days by the Mist Ninja's strong attack.

Nearly half of them were directly removed.

Suigetsu and Utakata can indeed deliver a devastating blow to their opponents. As long as they don't fall into the carefully prepared seals or barriers of the Mist Ninja, they can easily annihilate the attacking Mist Ninja without even needing to transform into their tailed beast forms.

In the short span of just ten or twenty days of these clashes, the number of Mist Ninja who died at the hands of the two men had already exceeded three digits.

Even so.

Overwhelmed by the sheer number of Kirigakure ninja.

The advantage on the field still belongs to the Mist Ninja.

Even though the casualty rate of the Mist Ninja was rising indefinitely at an extremely exaggerated rate, under Obito's deliberate suppression, the Mist Ninja only saw their own side's advance victory.

Morale was not affected in the slightest.

Instead, it surged even further in a short period of time.

It was a full-scale, all-out attack, regardless of the cost.

As for Utakata and Suigetsu, Obito specially arranged for the sealing team and barrier team of Mist Ninja to deal with them. There was no requirement to win or seal them; the only requirement was to stall them for as long as possible.

Obito didn't care about the lives of these Kirigakure ninja at all.

Even in such a short time, the number of casualties among the Mist Ninja has approached one thousand, with the death toll accounting for a full half of the total.

Obito remained completely unmoved.

They're just a few chess pieces.

It was their honor to serve their plans, and to die peacefully while completing them was, in Obito's opinion, the final meaning and value of life for these Kirigakure.

Whether or not there were any actual results was another matter.

Anyway, after eliminating the outer strongholds, killing nearly a hundred Light Ninja, and even penetrating deep into the heart of the Land of Grass to cut off the Light Ninja's front-line supplies once or twice, Kirigakure, at Obito's instruction, directly announced to the outside world that their ninja village had achieved a major tactical victory and had completely broken through the first line of defense of Kirigakure.

To further exacerbate the turmoil in the ninja world.

To more quickly draw the various ninja villages into this chaotic war, Obito also dispatched envoys to the four major ninja villages once again.

A false victory.

It is very difficult to truly cover up the fact that there were huge casualties.

If too much time is wasted and Kirigakure fails to achieve a substantial breakthrough, even the most foolish Kirigakure ninja will eventually realize what's happening, and by then, Kirigakure will become very difficult to control.

Although there won't be much loss.

However, that was clearly far from what Obito had initially expected. Obito didn't care whether Kirigakure was destroyed or not, but the premise was that he had to see the major ninja villages reignite their war. This was the core objective of Obito's plan.

The news was publicized as widely as possible.

Indeed, this further attracted the attention of various ninja villages. Kumogakure and Iwagakure, who had already deployed their respective forces at the border due to the war between the two villages, sent additional support troops to the front lines as soon as they received the news.

Even Maki, who initially only wanted to be a couch potato, was forced to mobilize some of his troops to support the border areas near the Land of Grass and the Land of Rivers.

It's not that Maki changed his mind.

However, the battles of the Mist Ninja and Light Ninja are taking place right next to their Land of Wind, so Maki has to be on guard.

They do not want to participate in the war and will try their best to avoid it.

But war is not something you can control unilaterally; you can easily get caught up in it if you're not careful.

Maki was even prepared to personally lead the team into battle.

He also ordered Gaara to stop going on missions and stay in the village for the time being. If the situation on the front line changes, Maki is to take Gaara into battle directly. The Sand Village can only rely on Gaara now.

Maki firmly believed that as long as Sunagakure did not cross the line recklessly, they could withstand most offensive and defensive battles.

The constant troop movements of various ninja villages further exacerbated the tense atmosphere in the ninja world.

Suddenly, the situation became a crisis, like a storm brewing.

It was almost as if it were in the eye of the storm, yet it remained unmoved.

"They're really pushing in completely. It seems that Kirigakure has indeed fallen entirely into that guy's control."

The Land of Waterfalls, Hikage Village.

Almost simultaneously, the Mist Ninja were massing their troops and advancing in large numbers at the front lines.

Wuwei immediately led his team to the front line while simultaneously relaying the relevant information to Mianma.

In any case, that was a force of nearly ten thousand Mist Ninja.

The entire Hidden Mist Village has been swarmed out.

The pressure it brings is something that not everyone can remain calm about.

"Tens of thousands of Mist Ninja, just like that, they're throwing them into the battlefield? Are they crazy? In previous great battles, no other ninja village has ever mobilized nearly ten thousand ninja!"

Karin, sitting to one side, also spoke with an incredulous expression.

Even the ultimate battle between ninja villages.

Generally, they would concentrate four or five thousand troops, which is already an exaggerated number, because at its peak, the number of ninjas in the five great nations was at most twenty thousand, so four or five thousand was already a quarter of their strength.

Under normal circumstances, they constitute more than one-third of the village's manpower.

You can't really count those young ninjas as basic combat power; they're even worse than cannon fodder.

The Mist Village has now mobilized nearly 10,000 ninjas at once. Although this is not the entire number of ninjas in the Mist Village, it is close to 80 or 90 percent of them. This is because the Mist Village had just lost 2,000 or 3,000 troops. The Mist Village's actions are like putting all their resources on the gambling table and going all in. It is not rational or normal at all.

“There are precedents. Iwagakure once mobilized 10,000 troops to besiege the Third Raikage of Kumogakure. However, this is indeed a very rare case, which is enough to prove the other party’s intentions.”

Mianma narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold glint appeared in his pupils.

"Is it really that mysterious Uchiha who released the Nine-Tails from Aunt Kushina's body fourteen years ago? Menma?"

Karin asked, seemingly with a slight hesitation.

It's not that I don't trust Mianma.

I just feel that if such an important matter is misjudged, it could easily affect their subsequent actions.

"Don't worry, Karin. This is the only thing I'm 100% sure about. That guy has a criminal record. Remember what I told you about the Fourth Mizukage? There's solid evidence for it. Even Orochimaru knows about it. This Uchiha has close ties with the Akatsuki organization. Their target is the tailed beasts inside us."

With a serious expression, he nodded and said.

If Menma was only 70-80% certain before, now he is 100% certain that Obito is behind the Mist Ninja.

It's not that there's any solid evidence; it's just a matter of considering it from a rational perspective.

The current situation is in the best interest of the Akatsuki organization.

The more chaotic the ninja world becomes, the more the power of the major ninja villages weakens, and the smoother the Eye of the Moon Plan can proceed.

The reason why this wasn't done in the original work can only be attributed to the timing being wrong or the lack of a better opportunity.

In this lifetime.

Obito clearly seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Menma subconsciously praised Obito in his heart.

"Should we adjust our plan? Let's deal with him first. He can control the Nine-Tails; such power is terrifying."

Karin pursed her lips and said solemnly.

"No, there's absolutely no need for that, Karin. It's not time to close the net yet. We still need to be patient. We need to be wary of this guy, as well as Konoha, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure. We still need some time. Let's proceed according to the original plan."

Mianma gently shook his head and said.
