The negotiation conditions were completely beyond our expectations.

Even Maki, the Kazekage, was completely moved.

The two elders, Chiyo and Ebizo, were equally shocked by Konoha's generosity. These conditions would not have been so easy to obtain in any previous period. Even during the reign of the Third Hokage, when people were a little weak and incompetent towards the outside world, it was impossible for them to offer all conditions.

This time, we will bring out such bargaining chips.

It is enough to see that the Konoha high-level officials headed by Tsunade are 100% determined, and the subsequent deployment of troops is better proof.

It must be said that the wait-and-see resolution that Maki, Chiyo, and Ebizo had previously made was completely shaken.

There is a saying that goes well.

The so-called determination cannot be said to be 100%, but in most cases, it only seems so absolute because there are not enough chips.

Once the weight of the chips reaches or even exceeds expectations.

Those so-called resolutions are something that can be changed at any time.

Maki's inner thoughts perfectly illustrate this point, and the subsequent advance of the Hidden Mist Village became the straw that broke the camel's back for the last bit of hesitation in Maki and others' hearts.

With the consent of Chiyo and Ebizo.

Maki immediately dispatched the most elite part of the Sand Ninjas to the front line, but even so.

Maki also retained his last bit of sanity.

Chiyo also repeatedly told them not to initiate the attack first.

Everything still depends on the front battlefield, and the response of the alliance of Taki and Kusashi Village led by Menma Uzumaki.

In order to be on the safe side, Maki quietly came to the front line himself, for fear that the people below would cause trouble if he was not there.

He wants to take control of this war himself.

The benefits are indeed lucrative enough for the Sand Village to take the risk, but Maki still hopes to keep the risks to the lowest possible level.

"Everything depends on the front line..."

Maki took off his divine robe, put on the long-lost combat uniform and the exclusive vest of the Sand Ninja, and stood in front of the camp. After taking a look at the Grass Ninja stronghold not too far away, his gaze shifted to the farther northeast.

There, there is a clash between the Takigakure army led by Menma and the coalition forces of Konoha and Mist. It may be just like the previous defeat of the Hidden Cloud Village, with the outcome decided in a few days, or it may be a protracted war that lasts for several months or even a year or two.

But no matter which case it is.

Before the results come out or the inevitable trend appears.

Mackey would never actually order a full-scale attack.

"Pass my order, enter the first level combat readiness mode starting tomorrow!"

"Yes, Master Kazekage!!!"

The five major ninja villages were completely involved.

The battle started in Yan and Yun.

Konoha, Kirigakure, and Sand Village all sent out troops one after another.

at this moment.

It can be directly declared that the Fourth Ninja World War has broken out. At this point, the plot in the original work has been completely changed beyond recognition.

What the future looks like.

It's already unpredictable.

And this war in the ninja world will inevitably become the most important turning point for future developments!

This is true for Menma, and also for the five major ninja villages.

The Akatsuki organization headed by Obito and Nagato was also affected to a certain extent.

Specifically, is it positive or negative?

That depends on different people's opinions.

At least for Menma.

Everything now is still within the controllable range, and everything before was developing according to his established wishes. All the luck seems to be bestowed on him.

Now he is about to face the biggest test since leaving the Hidden Leaf Village.

Standing in the front line.

Looking from afar at the arrival of the Konoha and Mist Ninja coalition forces.

Menma was emitting chakra with all his strength. Even from a distance of dozens of miles, Menma could still sense the huge amount of chakra.

In particular, there are several more majestic, powerful and familiar chakra auras.

It must be Jiraiya and others.

'A life-and-death war!'

Menma let out a breath of foul air.

"Whoosh!"

With a sudden wave of his right hand, countless figures flashed out from behind him and advanced towards the area ahead.

This is not the right place.

Menma will lead the Taki ninjas to advance until they can see the camp of the Konoha and Kirigakure coalition forces.

Apply pressure!?

Mian Ma also knows this.

War is a test of strength and momentum.

When two meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!!!

A large number of Taki ninjas came flying over.

It also directly attracted the attention of the front-line scouts of the opposing Konoha and Kirigakure coalition forces.

"It's the Takinin army! Pass the message back quickly!"

It was clear that Menma had no intention of launching a direct surprise attack as before.

In this area, there was a defensive stronghold built by Menma's previous order. Unlike the last time when he had to seize the rhythm, this time Menma didn't need to give up the geographical advantage.

Even in ninja battles, geographical advantages are limited to this.

But at least it's better than nothing.

There were many traps set up all around.

It can also kill a group of ninjas from Konoha and the Hidden Mist Village to a certain extent. This is a naked advantage and there is no reason to give it up.

Chapter 315 Arrival

And these are the scouts from the Hidden Leaf Village who were sent to the front line.

They originally came here to investigate the deployment of troops at the stronghold, and now there is no need for further investigation. This huge crowd of people is enough to prove that the main force of Taki Ninja has arrived.

"whoosh"

While a few people were left to maneuver on the two wings in the front, wanting to further see if Taki Shinobu had any other movements, a figure in the queue turned around and quickly returned, and soon arrived at the advance area of his main force.

As the commander, Jiraiya naturally flew to the front.

"Master Jiraiya, we have detected the main force of Takigakure Village forty miles ahead. The exact number of people is still unknown, but from the chakra aura that can be detected, it should be around two to three thousand. Whether there will be any support troops coming later is currently unknown."

This investigator also came directly to Jiraiya's close position, knelt on one knee with a look of respect, and reported in a deep voice.

"The main support force? They reacted so quickly. It seems that Menma's reconnaissance and intelligence systems are also very strong."

Jiraiya's eyes revealed a complicated look, and he spoke softly with a hint of emotion.

It is not difficult to detect the advance of their large force, but if they can arrive at the border so quickly, without even giving them the chance to advance to the most important frontier outposts, it can only be that they were discovered not long after they set out.

This is enough to prove that their intelligence gathering capabilities are very strong.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, there is a traitor, and Jiraiya also thought of Orochimaru first.

But it’s not convenient to say this directly.

Don't be fooled by Jiraiya's carefree appearance.

But in his heart, Orochimaru will always be the hurdle that he can never overcome.

"It is impossible to advance the front line with a preemptive attack. Master Jiraiya, I suggest that we first station here, build a camp, and then further investigate the situation on the other side. The military strength of Takigakure is limited, and generally speaking, we cannot make too many deployments."

In a nearby position.

Shikaku also stepped forward and spoke softly.

In fact, over the past few decades, the basic military strength of the ninja villages of various countries has been explored by each other.

Unless it is that kind of power that is cultivated secretly.

But they are generally in the minority.

At most, there are hundreds of people hiding.

It is difficult for thousands of military forces to escape the detection of other ninja villages. Each country has a certain idea of how much power the ninja villages under the five major countries, such as Takigakure Village, Kusagakure Village, and Amegakure Village, have.

Normally, the peak number is only about four to five thousand people.

Not to mention the normalization of the situation.

Shikaku was fully aware of the defeat of the Hidden Cloud Village. From Shikaku's perspective, if they wanted to defeat the Takigakure Village led by Shima-san this time, they must avoid the same mistake as the Hidden Cloud Village.

Use your own military advantage to win.

You can squeeze the enemy little by little.

There is no need to rush to win, and don't easily engage in a one-sided duel between each other's commanders. It's not that Shikaku doesn't trust his own Lord Jiraiya.

But why take risks when there is a sure-fire way to win?

If Jiraiya really was defeated in front of all the Konoha ninjas, it would be a heavy blow to their morale.

The same was true of the previous defeat of the Hidden Cloud Village.

If the number of Cloud Ninjas was a little larger, or if the Fourth Raikage did not lose in the decisive battle with Menma, even if the situation was just a stalemate, the Cloud Ninjas could at least maintain a decent posture and retreat, rather than suffering a major defeat.

Long before the march.

Lu Jiu made this point clear at the strategic meeting.

Jiraiya also adopted it directly.

"Well, let's do it."

Zilai also nodded slightly.

"Yes!"

The investigator in the front position suddenly lowered his head to answer, then he flashed away from the spot.

"Shikaku, please go and call those two from the Hidden Mist Village over."

"Yes, Lord Jiraiya."

An order given by command.

The Konoha ninjas took action on their own.

In just less than a few minutes, a brand new military camp was built from the ground.
