According to the plan of the Five Nations Alliance, the Fourth Ninja War will officially begin in three days.

However, under the leadership of Yun Ting, Konoha did not follow common sense and caught the Five Nations Alliance off guard. On the second day of the three-day time limit, the war officially started.

Move the time forward.

Just when Yunting led his troops to raid Yunyin Village, the Konoha ninjas in other directions were not idle either, taking advantage of the time difference and taking action quickly.

The country of waves.

Although it is an island country surrounded by the sea like the Kingdom of Water.

But compared to the latter, it is much poorer in terms of area and resources, and it is closer to the mainland. It is indeed very dependent on the mainland, and indeed the neighboring Fire Country.

This situation is even more obvious after the completion of the cross-sea bridge named after the bridge-builder Dazuna connecting the Land of Fire and the Land of Waves.

After the destruction of the Cardo forces, the actual controllers who had once been entrenched here and once obstructed the construction of the cross-sea bridge, Konoha became the actual controller of the Country of Waves.

Judging from the map, the Kingdom of Waves protruding forward plays a very important bridgehead role for the long coastline of the Kingdom of Fire.

During the Third Ninja War, the battle between Konoha and the Mist Ninja was precisely because the latter preemptively occupied the Land of Waves, a forward base that was very important for their attacking side, and had sufficient footholds and supplies.

Only then did Konoha have to carry out passive defense on its own land, and it was very embarrassed for a time.

If it weren't for the unplanned Matt Dai kicking four of the seven Ninja Swordsmen to death and incapacitating three, as well as the Mist Ninja's cool move of inserting the three tails into Nohara Rin's body, what would have happened?

It’s hard to say whether Konoha, which started the war on the front line, can persist until the end.

A lesson learned.

After the war, Konoha under the leadership of Yuntei undoubtedly valued the Kingdom of Waves more.

The cross-sea bridge is the product of this.

For the country of Waves, the opening of the bridge will have a great economic boost.

For Konoha, what matters more is its military and political role.

It’s not like the Mist Ninja never thought of blocking the completion of the cross-sea bridge.

It's just that compared to the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Waves, which are only a short strait apart, the Kingdom of Water and the Kingdom of Waves are several times farther apart, which is beyond reach in actual operations.

Coupled with the turmoil in the Blood Mist, they could only watch helplessly as Konoha took over the Kingdom of Waves.

However, today, just like the Cloud Ninja, the Mist Ninja has tasted the consequences of what was sown back then.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After receiving the ban order in advance, on the sea-crossing bridge where no one was idle, a heavily armed Konoha ninja army, led by commander Uchiha Shisui, marched towards the Country of Waves at an extremely fast speed.

Previously, in order not to irritate the mist ninja, Konoha did not station troops in the Land of Waves.

Now that both sides are at odds with each other, they naturally want to seize the opportunity.

In this regard, Konoha undoubtedly has the advantage.

"The war has finally begun. The true peace of the ninja world can finally be realized."

At this moment, Shisui, who was at the forefront and walking across the bridge, looked at the thick fog ahead.

It won't be long before the fog clears and the sky clears ahead.

But before that, all obstacles must be resolved with determination.

"At this time, they should take action."

Thinking of this, Shisui speeded up again.

Behind him, the two thousand Konoha ninjas who served as the vanguard accelerated without saying a word.

......

At the same time.

The Country of Waves, Ana Village.

Due to the construction of the very close cross-sea bridge, the once extremely poor small fishing village has now become extremely prosperous due to commercial exchanges.

Recently, some village managers are happily preparing to upgrade the village to a town.

Regarding these, Kenjiro, who appears to be a businessman from the Land of Waves but is actually a secret agent of the Mist Ninja, does not care.

Since the cross-sea bridge was built, he was sent to the Country of Waves to monitor every move of the bridge to prevent Konoha ninjas from breaking in.

As usual, he got up early in the morning and walked out of the rental house, where he habitually discussed business with a group of businessmen in person and collected intelligence secretly.

After all, when it comes to being well-informed, these guys who travel around know better.

However, soon, his expression changed after communicating with the businessmen.

"Have you heard that the cross-sea bridge is closed today?"

"What? I just have a batch of goods to be sent to the Land of Fire, why is the bridge suddenly closed?"

"It seems that a big wave broke out, and the bridge was temporarily closed for safety reasons."

"It shouldn't be! I have lived in the Land of Waves for decades, and there shouldn't be big waves at this time of year!"

After hearing this, Kenjiro was no longer prepared to stay any longer.

As a spy, he is keenly aware that there may be problems with this bridge closure.

Combined with the recent intensification of the situation in the ninja world.

‘Information must be sent back immediately.’

After making this decision, Kenjiro immediately said goodbye to everyone with urine escape, preparing to deliver information back to the village.

However, on the way, three slender thousand sticks suddenly thrust in front of him very quickly.

"Who?"

Kenjiro, who had not forgotten his disguised identity, said with a "panic" look on his face.

Although Ana Village is prosperous, its development time is short and the village's infrastructure is not in place.

Therefore, Kenjiro came to the outside of the village under the pretext of urinary escape.

When an ordinary businessman encounters an evil person who is obviously a ninja in the wilderness, he should naturally panic.

Now, while Kenjiro is pretending, he only hopes that he is a wandering ninja, and he only wants money.

Just the next second, after seeing the attire of the person who appeared, his heart suddenly sank.

"Ko... Konoha ninja? What are you going to do...? If you want money, I can give it to you! Just let me live!"

Looking back at the conspicuous Konoha forehead protector on the visitor's forehead, Kenjiro "begged for mercy" with a sense of luck.

The boy named Shiro raised his head, and the beautiful androgynous face under the Konoha forehead protector remained calm and said:

"Mr. Kirigakure Spy, you have been exposed. For the sake of your life, please cooperate and stop resisting."

"Damn it!"

Knowing that his identity was exposed, Kenjiro threw out several shurikens without thinking, then turned around and ran away.

Dang! Dang! Dang!

After the Senbon shot from his fingers knocked away all the incoming shurikens, Shiro, who was still standing on the spot, looked at Kenjiro's running back and calmly formed a seal with one hand.

The next second, just in front of Kenjiro's escape, a huge ice mirror was formed out of thin air, and Shiro's figure walked out of it.

Seeing this, Kenjiro was suddenly startled and stepped back: "Ice Escape? Are you a remnant of the Snow Clan?"

"Now there is no Snow Clan, only Konoha ninjas." Bai said lightly, "Just go ahead and capture them, you have no chance."

"Tch! He's just a kid."

The Konoha ninja in front of me is only twelve or thirteen years old, that is, he has just graduated from the ninja world school. So what if he has ice escape.

Kenjiro is not only a spy, but also an elite chuunin. He is naturally confident in dealing with such a brat.

The main reason I ran away before was that I was worried about being ambushed by other Konoha ninjas.

Now it seems that there is only one person in front of me.

"Although I don't know why your superiors carelessly asked you to come alone, I accepted this gift kindly. Konoha brat, ninjas are not playing tricks. Now I will teach you a lesson."

Kenjiro, who had decided to kill Shiro first and then escape, smiled ferociously with murderous intent, formed a seal with his hands and said:

"Water Release: The Technique of Kirigakure!"

The signature ninjutsu of the fog ninja was unleashed at this moment.

Under the consumption of Kenjiro's chakra, and also taking advantage of the seaside advantage, a large amount of thick fog spread.

Not only did it completely cover him and Bai, but it also accidentally involved a passerby.

‘Is this...the lingering ninja-hunting troops coming again?’

The unexpected man, half of his face covered by bandages, frowned and thought.

At this moment, a murderous voice from Kenjiro sounded in the thick fog:

"Throat, spinal cord, lungs, liver, carotid artery, clavicle, kidneys and heart, kid of Konoha, where do you want me to stab first?"
