"Huh~, is it a letter from Konoha?" Shikazo removed the cigarette from his lips, glanced at the letter in his hand, and muttered, "The phones in the Land of Whirlpools are so much more convenient!"
No matter how far away, you could make phone calls anytime, anywhere. But because they were invented by the enemy, the village worried their mission actions might be overheard, so they were all banned.
Shikazo shook his head and opened the letter in his hand...
"It seems the Third Hokage must have some mission assignment again."
He sighed helplessly inside...
The Fourth Hokage has been ashore for so long, why is there still no movement at all?
"Could it be..."
Shikazo frowned and muttered, "Did something happen?"
Then, he lowered his head to look at the letter in his hand...
A moment later...
He froze completely, immediately clutched the letter tightly, and widened his eyes...
"Dammit!"
"What's wrong?" A Konoha-nin with somewhat graying hair and a large pot belly walked over and said, "What happened?"
"Konoha..." Shikazo handed the letter to this Konoha-nin, his face both angry and anxious, saying, "Has been attacked!!!"
...
A spatial fluctuation...
"So this is Kirigakure's fleet?" A man wearing a white three-comma mask and a black cloak with red clouds stood on the ship's railing, quietly watching the Kiri-nin in front of him, muttering, "Tsk tsk, quite a lot of people."
He sighed helplessly inside...
Why do these Five Great Shinobi Countries love to start wars so much?
The previous three great wars...
All had the shadow of the Five Great Shinobi Countries behind them. To be honest...
If it weren't for Lord Jun forbidding harm to prisoners, some people higher up were planning to flay those prisoners alive!!!
They are just too annoying.
He raised his head, looking at the somewhat dark sky through his white three-comma mask, sighed helplessly inside, and muttered, "Better finish this quickly and go back to sleep."
Ever since last time, when Kumogakure responded to Konoha's call to invade the Land of Whirlpools, but then secretly hung back alone by themselves, waiting until the war was over, resulting in Kumogakure becoming the only Shinobi Village that remained completely unscathed from that war. Of course, not counting their later antics of starting a war with Konoha.
So, for this invasion war, most Shinobi Villages have started to learn this method.
Using small Shinobi Villages as the main force, then sending a few experts to assist the small villages in attacking the Land of Whirlpools. As for the Five Great Shinobi Villages...
They are all waiting!!!
Waiting for the turrets to be destroyed, waiting for the small villages to land first, waiting...
For the Five Great Shinobi Villages to launch a total attack together!
So that no one suffers a disadvantage, none of the Five Great Shinobi Villages dare make a reckless move...
The masked man shook his head, then puffed up his cheeks...
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
He better get to work quickly.
As soon as the words fell...
A massive fireball emerged from his mouth.
"Dammit, enemy attack!"
All the fleets exclaimed in alarm...
...
Night...
Is the best time to rest...
Looking at the explosions and firelight erupting not far away...
A young man with a crew cut, wearing the Land of Whirlpools uniform, took a drag of his cigarette, sighed, and muttered, "Obito started?"
Then, he stood up, stretched, and turned to look at his teammates...
"Let's set off too!"
Tonight...
He believed it would be very lively!!!
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a cold gaze...
"This farce should end now. The longer it drags on, the more dangerous it becomes for the Land of Whirlpools!"
Insufficient ninja...
This will always be the Land of Whirlpools' weak point!
Therefore, they must achieve a quick victory, inflicting unacceptable losses on the Five Great Shinobi Villages to force them, or their lackeys, to retreat on their own. Otherwise...
Once the Land of Whirlpools' ninja become fatigued, or are worn down and killed by the Five Great Shinobi Village alliance...
It would be disastrous then!
Shijō knew deep down...
This surprise attack was quite dangerous. He didn't have space-time ninjutsu like Obito or Lord Jun. Once caught, it would probably mean death!
He sighed, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly with a trace of a smile...
"Yabachi..."
"Shiro, I leave it to you..."
...
"Is it here?" Sitting in a narrow space, looking at the large screen in front of him, a red-haired young man muttered, "Not turning on the lights at night, it's really hard to see anything here!"
He needed to discuss with his dad when he got back. Otherwise, if he becomes blind at night, what use is his 'Unit-01'?
And this field of view...
Not clear enough!
Sasori's mouth curved into a slight smile, his hands pulling chakra strings, floating high above, looking down at the dozens of ships on the sea...
Compared to Shijō, who is a pure taijutsu user...
His range as a mechanist is much larger!
Although the energy inside 'Unit-01' cannot last long...
It should be enough for one push!!!
So...
"Sunagakure, is it?" Sasori narrowed his eyes, looking at the large flagship in the center, muttering, "Sorry, Grandmother..."
Since the order was given from above, as a soldier, he could only carry it out.
He glanced at the indicator showing the remaining energy...
"20 minutes?"
He sighed inwardly...
"It seems I must end the battle within 18 minutes, then evacuate quickly."
This 'Unit-01', although powerful, well-defended, and fast, due to its high production cost and massive energy consumption, the production line was never approved...
The higher-ups wanted to develop a more energy-efficient mech, but...
They haven't succeeded yet!
Although the Land of Whirlpools has now popularized the use of electrical energy and built nuclear power plants capable of supplying the entire country...
Chakra energy still hasn't been phased out, because at this stage, they haven't discovered how to successfully convert electrical energy into a form suitable for technique formulas. You must know, the Land of Whirlpools' airships, guns, artillery, floating cars... all use technique formulas.
So...
Now the Land of Whirlpures is a mixed-energy nation using both electrical and chakra energy!
Sasori glanced at the somewhat old, large wooden ship flying the Sunagakure emblem, located in the center of all the ships...
"It seems Sunagakure is still as poor as ever!!"
Then, he flexed his fingers, a cold smile appearing on his lips...
"I heard that my father and mother's incident had the Third Kazekage pulling strings behind the scenes..."
"And the teachers and those brats in the village..."
He narrowed his eyes, staring at that Sunagakure emblem...
"I've always remembered it!!!"
Spitting on him, kicking his face, mocking him, hitting him...
So many years have passed...
If he weren't a simple, kind, and honest young man, and if the Third hadn't already been hammered to death by Lord Jun, he would have long charged into Sunagakure to settle the score!
And...
Because of the psychological shadow, back at the academy...
Sasori showed a trace of nostalgia, muttering, "The Land of Whirlpools' ideological education and psychological counseling were really boring!!!"
Absolutely boring to the extreme. Things like learning from Lord Jun's good deeds and virtues, the Heart of Gratitude, respecting the elderly and cherishing the young, whatever...
He had to copy all of them hundreds of times!!!
So...
"Next time I go back to the academy to teach those brats physics class, I can't let the cultural classes have all the glory. I must let them taste the essence of physics class too!!!"
It just so happens we're about to reach the chapter on mechanics problems...
