In the following days, Kageyama Kogetsu visited Tsunade from time to time. Both found it very fresh and interesting.
At the same time, under the carpet search by reconnaissance ninja from various villages, White Zetsu's tracks were discovered in an unremarkable small country—the Land of Birds.
This country was located between the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind, serving as a buffer zone between the two countries, and had no ninja village of its own.
When White Zetsu's location was discovered, the war supplies of various villages were almost ready, and the ninja forces from each village officially assembled at the designated destination.
After discussion, the Allied Forces Headquarters was set up at the border between the eastern part of the Land of Wind and the Land of Rivers. The Allied Shinobi Forces assembled at the Sunagakure border outpost, thirty miles west of the headquarters.
High-ranking officials from each village arrived at the assembly point with some ninja, while the rest of the ninja were deployed according to the arrangements of the Allied Forces Headquarters to guard against White Zetsu's troop movements.
Within two and a half days, all villages arrived on time.
One afternoon was spent mixing and reorganizing the ninja according to the pre-established plan. After resting for a night, the four mixed ninja units assembled on the grayish-brown flat ground below the outpost.
The Five Kage, wearing their respective village's Kage uniforms, came to the high platform together. As the Hokage, Kageyama Kogetsu naturally occupied the center position.
On either side were Ōnoki and the Fourth Raikage A, followed by Terumī Mei and Gaara, and finally Orochimaru and other leaders or acting leaders of small ninja villages.
Seeing the Five Kage and the leaders of various villages, a cheer erupted from the square. Although only half of the troops were here, the cheers of fifty thousand people were enough to shake one's soul.
Those who had seen the world were fine, but those who hadn't seen enough couldn't help but feel their blood boil with the thunderous cheers rising to the sky.
When the cheers subsided, Kageyama Kogetsu took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, your leaders must have emphasized the importance of this war, so I won't repeat it."
"I just want to say that for ourselves, for our families, for our friends, for our villages, for our countries, and for the world, we have no choice but to win."
"Victory is certain!"
His powerful and resonant voice reached everyone's ears clearly. Everyone raised their right hands and loudly responded to the will of the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces.
"Victory is certain!"
The uniform voices resounded through the heavens and the earth, echoing endlessly, making one's blood boil!
"Good. The war to defend the world has begun. Act according to the plan." Kageyama Kogetsu smiled.
"Yes, Lord Commander-in-Chief!"
After responding, under the command of the captains, the front teams became the rear teams, and the rear teams became the front teams, running quickly towards their designated positions.
Some Kage and leaders of small ninja villages on the high platform jumped down, caught up with their respective units, and merged into the torrent of ninja.
After those who needed to leave had left, the remaining people also headed to the Allied Forces Headquarters.
There weren't many people left, just the Commander-in-Chief Kageyama Kogetsu, the Supreme Commander Fourth Raikage A, and a small number of accompanying ninja.
After arriving at the Allied Forces Headquarters, Kageyama Kogetsu sat in his chair and instructed casually, "Pay close attention to the whereabouts of Kushina and Naruto. Don't lose track of them for a second."
"For the rest, just deal with situations as they arise. If you can't handle it, report to me and Lord Raikage."
"Yes, Lord Commander-in-Chief." Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, Mabui, and others, each performing their duties, quickly responded.
"Lord Raikage, calm down. The war has just begun. Since we're here, let's eat first."
With a wave of Kageyama Kogetsu's hand, two steaks with red wine appeared on the table. He picked up his knife and fork, cutting the steak slowly, elegantly, and calmly.
Mm... medium-well. As a "country bumpkin," he couldn't handle rare steaks.
"Lord Hokage truly has the demeanor of a general."
Seeing this, the Fourth Raikage A also calmed his restless heart. He sat down, picked up his knife and fork, cut large pieces of steak, and gulped down the red wine.
Kageyama Kogetsu didn't think the Fourth Raikage A was rude. Eating should be done in the way one likes, as long as it doesn't affect others.
"Believe in everyone, and more importantly, believe in yourself." Kageyama Kogetsu said with a chuckle.
"You're right, but I still think putting two Nine-Tails Jinchūriki together is a bit risky."
"It would be better to separate them and hide them."
Kageyama Kogetsu shook his head. "Why play mind games with the Masked Man and his group?"
"Put the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki out in the open. If the enemy wants them, they can only come and take them openly."
"Mind games have variables. If the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki are separated and something unexpected happens, what if we can't support them in time?"
"With Sasuke, Naruto, Kushina, and many powerful experts gathered together, it's hard for the enemy to subdue any Nine-Tails Jinchūriki instantly."
"At the same time, the ninja unit they lead is also the absolute main force of the Allied Forces, like an indestructible sharp knife capable of crushing the enemy's resistance with overwhelming force."
The Fourth Raikage A nodded. "I hope your strategy is correct."
"By the way, I have a question for Lord Hokage."
"Speak." Kageyama Kogetsu said casually.
"I heard that Sasuke Uchiha knows the Lightning Release Chakra Mode?"
The Fourth Raikage A stared intently at Kageyama Kogetsu, trying to see any clues...
"Ah, Sasuke is very talented in Lightning Release."
"With a precedent before us, plus my guidance, we father and son figured it out together."
"Why, is there a problem?" Kageyama Kogetsu kept a straight face.
"No problem."
The Fourth Raikage A didn't see any flaws, and since it was a special period, he didn't want to pursue it.
In fact, even if he wanted to pursue it, he couldn't. The Fourth Raikage A hadn't seen the true strength of the father and son yet.
Sasuke used the Lightning Release Chakra Mode quite often when on missions, usually to deal with somewhat capable enemies.
The chakra consumption was much less than Susanoo, and it offered both offense and defense with high speed. It was very useful.
While the two were talking, the pre-arranged ninja vanguard unit had already engaged the White Zetsu and reanimated army.
The Fourth Great Ninja War had officially begun!
...
Konoha Village. Obito Uchiha's Shape-Shifting clone tore through space and arrived on the street in front of the Police Force headquarters on the outskirts of Konoha.
The Obito clone formed hand seals, and five coffins rose from the ground. The lids fell to the ground simultaneously, kicking up a cloud of dust...
Five figures walked out of the dust: Fuguki Suikazan, Kushimaru Kuriarare, Jinin Akebino, Jinpachi Munashi, and Raiga Kurosuki.
Tweet...
A sharp whistle sounded, and a special Police Force firework shot into the sky...
The guard ninja at the Police Force headquarters immediately took a defensive stance, cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist—they weren't afraid of these people, but the Shape-Shifting clone dressed exactly like Obito Uchiha's main body made them extremely wary.
Extremely wary or not, none of the Police Force ninja retreated. They were all prepared to fight to the death.
"Konoha forehead protector, Sharingan, Uchiha clan crest. Obviously, we've arrived in Konoha." Fuguki Suikazan said with interest.
"Fuguki, Raiga, you guys were lucky to escape back then, but we died at the hands of that damn watermelon head..."
"Finally, we can have our revenge. I want Konoha to flow with blood!" Jinpachi Munashi grinned, his face full of excitement, excited to the point of perversion.
"I didn't expect to be revived after death. Haha, I can send people to their funerals again."
Raiga Kurosuki was also excited, but relatively more reserved than the former.
In this world, Raiga Kurosuki's death was different from the original story. He wasn't electrocuted to ashes, leaving behind genetic material.
Kushimaru Kuriarare and Jinin Akebino were both men of few words, rarely speaking, but the killing intent they emitted grew stronger.
Clearly, both were very excited...
