In Konoha: Eating Goro Goro no Mi at start.

"Sir, none of the scout ninjas we sent out have returned. What should we do next?"

The two-tailed Jinchuriki Satui came to the side of the Raikage Assistant and asked in a low voice.

"Raikage-sama... may not come back..."

The Raikage Assistant frowned and said in a low voice.

"How is this possible?"

Satui said in a low voice in disbelief.

In fact, Satui had already guessed this possibility. After all, if everything went well, the Raikage would have returned here to lead everyone to pursue Konoha.

Everyone would not have to send a large number of scout ninjas to the front to gather intelligence now.

However, Satui couldn't believe that such a thing would actually happen.

After all, the eight-tailed JinchurikiBlue Bi, the third Raikage, and Ai, who had been trained as the fourth Raikage.

As well as more than 30 elite ninjas from Kumogakure, together with the Salamander Hanzo, who was known as the demigod of the ninja world, and the elites of Hidden Rain Village.

The enemy only has Konoha Police Force and Konoha Anbu...

"I don't know if this has really happened, but for now, we can only deal with it according to this situation."

The Raikage Assistant rubbed his brows with a headache.

"Should we retreat?"

Satui pursed his lips and asked the Raikage Assistant.

"No, if we tell everyone that the Raikage may die in the battle, everyone will completely lose their fighting spirit."

Raikage Assistant shook his head slowly after hearing this, paused, and continued to talk to Satui.

"The ninjas sent out before should have been killed, which can only mean one thing, that is, Konoha is organizing a counterattack."

"If Konoha really launched a counterattack, it would be better for us to return to the Hidden Cloud Village now, right?"

Satui frowned slightly after hearing this and asked Raikage Assistant beside him.

"Relatively speaking, Konoha is better at ninjutsu. If we return to Kumogakure, we will basically be passively attacked since we are on the top of the mountain."

The Raikage assistant shook his head upon hearing this.

Although it would be relatively easier to defend in that way, the complex environment of Kumogakure would become a key factor that would hinder Kumogakure's charge.

Once they are forced to passively attack, then, as long as Konoha makes a key breakthrough on other battlefields, Kumogakure will be doomed!

"I understand."

Satui's eyes condensed slightly upon hearing this, and he nodded with a heavy heart.

"Then what's next..."

"Push the cordon farther outward and be ready for Konoha's attack at any time."

Raikage assistant shook his head helplessly upon hearing this.

Now, Konoha is fighting on all sides, and there shouldn't be too many troops that can be assembled in the direction of Kumogakure.

At least, there must be a certain gap compared to the troops in his hands.

Now, temporarily suppressing the possibility of the Raikage's accident, Kumogakure may still have a glimmer of hope.

  ...

At this time, the Konoha troops also launched an attack on the Kumogakure troops!

However, just as the Assistant Raikage thought, the number of Konoha troops was indeed much less than that of the Cloud Village.

But it doesn't matter, although the number is small, the quality is high.

Since Senju Tobirama dared to launch a counterattack against the Cloud Village, he naturally considered the problem of the number difference.

The Cloud Village has been famous for its nin-taijutsu for generations, and facing such an enemy, the number of Jonin often plays a huge role on the front battlefield!

Just use enough Jonin to form a sharp enough blade tip at the forefront of the troops, and you can directly cut through the Cloud Village.

When the Cloud Village's troops were divided in half, that was when the Cloud Village began to collapse.   

What's more, the battlefield is full of ever-changing situations, and victory or defeat is not determined simply by the number of people.

"Tsunade, shadow clone."

On the way forward, Rei did not forget to ask Tsunade.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Tsunade nodded and said to Rei beside her.

It must be said that Rei is really nagging now.

If it was Tobirama Senju or Mito Uzumaki who kept nagging in Tsunade's ear.

Tsunade's temper would be completely uncontrollable.

But now it was Rei who said it, and Tsunade not only did not feel nagging, but felt warm in her heart.

"Well, be careful."

Rei nodded and walked forward.

In fact, everyone's speed was not very fast.

After all, the key factor that determines the speed of a large army is not the speed of the fastest person, but the speed of the slowest person.

But even so, the large army of Konoha ninjas came to the vicinity of the Cloud Hidden Army.

Ninjas are indeed better at digging traps and assassinations.

However, if the other side chooses to gather all its forces together in a war, then they can only choose to fight.

Otherwise, a single ninja team is too insignificant in front of a large ninja force that has reached a certain number.

The Raikage assistant looked at the densely packed Konoha ninjas that gradually appeared in front of him.

Gently raising his hand, all the Kumogakure ninjas stood up one after another, silently waiting for the order of the assistant Raikage.

Now, where did the Raikage go, why hasn't he come back yet, and whether there is an accident.

It has been completely thrown out of their minds.

In everyone's eyes, there is only the Konoha ninjas that are getting closer and closer.

Next, there is only attack or defense, life or death!

"Fire release!"

Looking at the Konoha ninjas getting closer and closer, the Raikage assistant shouted loudly.

Although it seems that Kumogakure is passively beaten,

 in fact, for now, Kumogakure at least has two advantages: waiting for the opportunity and taking the initiative.

A few hundred ninjas came forward and spewed flames.

"Water release!"

Konoha's ninja troops stopped instantly, and with the roar of Uchiha Kagami, a large amount of water flow suddenly attacked the Kumogakure troops.

The next moment, water and fire collided with each other, and a large amount of water vapor suddenly rose up. The entire battlefield was shrouded in a layer of mist at this time.

  "Uchiha! Fire escape!"

With Uchiha Kenji's roar, all the Uchiha made seals with their hands at the same time. In an instant, dozens of fire dragons instantly soared into the sky!
