The Cloud Ninjas were not in a hurry to attack again, but stayed quiet for a few days.
I really think that it was probably the failure of the last attack, and the fact that the Raikage was also injured by Minato, that caused the Kumo ninja to temporarily cease their activities.
However, during this period, Kumo Ninja actually sent a letter, asking Konoha to obediently return the Jinchuriki of the Second Tails, saying that in doing so, Konoha could accept Konoha's surrender.
Everyone here in Konoha was very angry after receiving the letter. Shikaku was not polite and wrote directly back saying that if Kumo-nin didn't withdraw his troops, he would kill the Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails and a group of prisoners, and let them go all over the world to find the wild Two-Tails.
.
I can only imagine what Raikage's reaction would be after reading this letter, and I'm afraid he would also be furious.
The Amegakure Village also sent a letter, which was addressed to Jiraiya. In the letter, he asked about Jiraiya's situation, and then said that the Amegakure Village's troops had been assembled and were planning to march to the Land of Fire.
Konoha immediately sent ninjas to the northern border to meet the rain ninjas.
Sunagakure Village also wrote back, saying that they were also busy with the war with Kirigakure at the moment, and they really couldn't get away from it, and they couldn't help Konoha's situation.
It sounds like a refusal, but it is indeed true.
The rain ninjas arrived the next day, and Yahiko brought 1,000 ninjas, which was similar to Konoha's current strength.
Although Amegakure Village is not as good as the five major ninja villages, its own strength is not weak, and it has a certain foundation. Otherwise, it would not have been able to provoke a war in the ninja world on its own before.
Konoha and Amegakure were once mortal enemies, but Amegakure was still willing to help Konoha at this time, which moved everyone in Konoha very much. Some people who had experienced the Second Ninja World War also put aside their past grievances.
, Konoha took the initiative to help set up a camp nearby for the rain ninjas and provided supplies. Konoha now lacks nothing but people.
Yahiko and the other two also came to the Kikyo Mountain Fortress and met Jiraiya. This was a scene of a reunion between master and disciple after a long absence.
Jiraiya also took them to meet another of his disciples, namely Namikaze Minato.
Minato was now able to walk, and Yahiko had already heard the name of Golden Flash, and they were polite after meeting each other.
Minato was a little interested in Nagato, who had the Rinnegan Eye. Kushina's eyes immediately changed after seeing Nagato. She was immediately sure that the other person was a member of her own race. She took the initiative to approach Nagato and wanted to talk to him, but unfortunately Nagato
The attitude towards Konoha ninjas other than Jiraiya was very indifferent, and when Kushina heard about the Uzumaki clan, her reaction was very dull, as if she was not interested at all, which made Kushina very helpless.
After the Kingdom of Whirlpool was destroyed, a small number of people from the Whirlpool clan were scattered abroad and kept their names anonymous. It was not easy to find people of the same clan.
On days when there is no fighting, both sides are resting and recuperating, but the reconnaissance teams dispatched never stop, and sometimes small-scale battles break out.
And a week after the last attack by the Cloud Ninjas, the Cloud Ninjas finally made a big move again.
The reconnaissance team sent back news that more than 4,000 Kumo ninjas set off from the Kumo ninja camp and rushed towards Mount Kikyo.
The Kumo ninja at this time should be led by the Raikage himself, plus the Jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails, to completely defeat Konoha's resistance.
This made the Konoha and Rain ninjas feel like they were facing a formidable enemy. At this moment, the Cloud ninjas represented the strongest combat power in the ninja world.
Outside Platycodon Mountain, 4,000 Kumo ninjas were pressing down on the territory.
His real eyesight was not very good. He could see a dense mass of people in the distance, but he could sense two extremely powerful chakras at the forefront of many Kumo ninjas.
On the Konoha side, Minato, Jiraiya, Uchiha Fugaku and Shinya stood in front of the Konoha formation, while Shikaku and Haiichi were in the rear preparing to command the battlefield.
This battle will also affect the future pattern of the ninja world.
Before the battle, the battlefield was extremely quiet, with flags blowing in the wind and everyone standing ready.
Minato suddenly chuckled: "It's been a long time since we fought side by side."
Fugaku also smiled and said: "There will be many opportunities like this in the future. Why should Minato sigh?"
Jiraiya sighed: "Today's young people are becoming more and more powerful, and I feel like I can hardly keep up with the times."
He is not even 40 years old.
After the three of them finished speaking, seeing Zhen's silence and no response, they couldn't help but cast their gazes.
"Really, don't you say something?"
I'm really speechless. I want to say that you have flags all over your body now, and you want to drag me to raise the flag like you.
He just said: "Our army will win!"
Jiraiya burst out laughing. To be honest, he didn't look like a young man at all, he was even more youthful and mature than Kakashi.
Not far away, Kakashi faintly heard his name, thinking that Master Jiraiya was speaking ill of him.
Seeing that their leaders were so casual before the war, the ninjas in Konoha felt relieved a lot from their tense nerves.
Buzz——
The dull and long horn sound suddenly sounded in the distance, and everyone's expressions became solemn.
Countless cloud ninjas rushed over in a dark mass, and a blue light holding the electric light rushed to the forefront. Minato's eyes narrowed when he saw this, and he suddenly disappeared from the spot.
"The Yondaime Raikage, then the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki is here too." Jiraiya said slowly.
The Raikage brothers of Kumogakure Village are also well-known figures in the ninja world. The two of them are extremely powerful people, and their cooperation is extremely tacit.
This means that we have to face the Eight-Tails who has been fully transformed into a tailed beast later.
As soon as this thought passed through my mind, I heard a huge roar, and the ground was shaking. A monster as huge as a mountain appeared out of thin air in front of the Kumo ninja army formation, with the body of an ox and the tail of an octopus, roaring towards Konoha Fortress.
rushing in the direction.
Jiraiya's eyes darkened, and he tensed up his nerves. He glanced at Zhen beside him.
Shin and Kushina, are you okay...?
He took a deep breath and shouted angrily: "Everyone——"
"Are you ready to die in battle?!"
Konoha ninjas all over the mountains and plains responded in unison: "Fight to the death!"
This sound echoed in the mountains and fields, reaching into the sky!
A dragon head flame streaked across the sky, rushed into the enemy formation first, exploded instantly, and the fire started!
The Konoha ninjas laid traps on the final journey of the Kumo ninja in advance, but this did not hinder the Kumo ninja much. More people rushed forward despite the rain of shurikens and detonating talismans.
The ninjas from both sides finally mixed together, and Jiraiya and Fugaku each led their teams onto the battlefield.
Zhen Zhen did not rush forward, but turned around and returned to the interior of the fortress. Kushina stood alone on a high place, with bright red long hair flying in the air, and a sad look on her eyebrows.
She looked at the battlefield that had suddenly become a mess, and Minato who was fighting with the Fourth Raikage. Countless people were risking their lives, just to kill all the enemies in front of them.
Zhen flew to Kushina's side and said, "Are you ready? It's about to start."
