In Konoha: Eating Goro Goro no Mi at start.

 At this time, on the battlefield of the Land of Water, which was used as a breakthrough, Team 7 has directly penetrated into the hinterland of Kirigakure.

Black smoke rose, and a total of five people from Team 7 sat casually on the ground, roasting the meat that they had just snatched from the Kirigakure transport convoy.

This is the first transport convoy that Team 7 encountered after entering the hinterland of the Land of Water.

The overall strength is not strong, with only one Jonin following. Obviously, in order to ensure the safety of the battlefield in the Land of Whirlpools, Kirigakure has mobilized almost the entire village.

But the Uzumaki clan is indeed worth it.

Through this war, even if only one woman of the Uzumaki clan is plundered, Kirigakure will be able to get a stable Jinchūriki in a dozen years.

Not to mention the wealth and sealing techniques accumulated by the Uzumaki clan for hundreds or even thousands of years.

These are immeasurable wealth.

It is also a chance for Kirigakure to compete with Konoha again in the future.

"Since Kirigakure is so empty now, why don't we just raid Kirigakure?"

Jiraiya said with some doubts while grilling meat.

"As expected of the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku, he is confident in his own strength and does not take Kirigakure's Mizukage and Mizukage Guard seriously at all."

Rei chuckled and said silently.

"That's right, Kirigakure's barrier is not comparable to Konoha's at all, how could it be taken seriously by the Great Toad Sage?"

Tsunade continued Rei's words.

"Then the ninjas who are left behind in the village can't possibly put any pressure on the Great Toad Sage."

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya teasingly, saying without mercy.

 Hiruzen looked at Rei and the other two, then looked at Jiraiya, and silently looked to the side, his body shaking uncontrollably.

Sure enough, no matter when, when it comes to teasing Jiraiya, Team 7 is still very united.

Jiraiya pursed his lips when he heard this, not wanting to speak, but a little bit unbearable, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

"So, by ambushing the Kirigakure's transport troops, while putting pressure on Kirigakure's main force in the Land of Whirlpool, Kirigakure will have to divide its forces to target us."

Rei looked at Jiraiya and explained to him.

"I know, I just want to see if you think the same as I do. Very good, you think exactly the same as I do."

Jiraiya opened his mouth when he heard this, and said very seriously.

  "Huh?"

Rei was stunned when he heard this, looked at Jiraiya, smacked his lips, and finally could only say one sentence.

"It's really an honor to have the same idea as the Great Toad Sage."

"It's an honor."

Tsunade nodded, agreeing deeply.

"It's an honor."

Orochimaru nodded in agreement, looking at Jiraiya with admiration in his eyes.

After Team 7 entered the Land of Water, the direction of the war in the Land of Water also shifted.

After the Uzumaki clan learned of Konoha's deployment, they began to fight and retreat.

On the one hand, it was convenient for the elderly, weak, women and children in the clan to retreat first, and they also wanted to counterattack after joining Konoha's support troops.

On the other hand, they could consume the power of the main force of Kirigakure as much as possible in this process.

But when the Uzumaki clan began to prepare to retreat, they were surprised to find that the main force of Kirigakure had also begun to retreat.

This situation can be said to have really confused the Uzumaki clan.

But soon, the Uzumaki clan reacted.

No matter why Kirigakure wanted to retreat, even if they were going back to Kirigakure to celebrate the birthday of the Mizukage, they could not let them do as they wished.

In this way, a tug-of-war was completely launched in the Land of Whirlpools.

The roles of hunter and prey also quietly changed at this moment.

The balance of victory was also tilting towards Konoha.

In sharp contrast to the battlefield of the Land of Water is the battlefield of the Land of Lightning.

Even with the joint efforts of the Konoha Police Force and the Anbu, the overall strategy is to retreat. It is just because they have gone too deep that they have just retreated to the Land of Hot Springs.

Kumogakure will not let Uchiha and Senju leave like this. A large number of elite Kumogakure soldiers are biting Senju and Uchiha tightly on this road of retreat.

The battlefields of the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth are relatively stable, and most of the materials that can be taken away are placed at the border of the Land of Fire.

The Hokage disciples Utatane Koharu and Mitomon En went to the two battlefields respectively.

They can become the two major advisors of Konoha in the original time and space, and these two people still have some ability.

On the battlefields of the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind, Konoha is generally on the defensive. It cannot be said that it is at ease for a while, but it can also be said to be evenly matched.

In Senju Tobirama's plan, the breakthrough point of the war is on the battlefields of the Land of Water and the Land of Lightning.

After all, relatively speaking, the ninjas in these two battlefields are obviously higher than those in the battlefields of the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth.

  ...

Water Country, Kirigakure Village.

"Yakura."

The Mizukage looked at the ninja who looked like a child and called softly.

"Sir."

Yakura bowed his head slightly and replied softly.

Although Yakura looks very young, he is actually nearly twenty years old this year.

He is father of Yagura Karatachi.

At the same time, Yakura is also the ninja in Kirigakure who is second only to the Mizukage in terms of strength.

"With the Kage Gaurd Platoon and two Jinchūriki, can you kill those guys?"

The Third Mizukage looked at Yakura and asked softly.

"Of course, but I may need the cooperation of the village."

Yakura replied without hesitation.

Yakura didn't know whether he could take them down, but in the village, apart from the Mizukage, he was the captain of the Kage Gaurd Platoon.

"Don't let me down."

The Third Mizukage looked at Yakura and said softly.

"Sir, if we leave, your safety..."

After hearing this, Yagura Kujiya pondered for a moment, and said to the Mizukage with a little concern.

"Don't worry, the village is safe."

The Third Mizukage shook his head and said to Yagura Kujiya.

If possible, the Mizukage didn't want Yagura to leave the village.

But there was no way, three days! Three whole days!

The supplies that Kirigakure sent to the main force far away in the Land of Whirlpool have not been delivered to a single grain.   

If it drags on and Konoha's reinforcements join the Uzumaki clan, Kirigakure will no longer have a chance to win.

Therefore, the Mizukage must do everything to solve this problem!

"Leave it to me."

Upon hearing this, Yagura nodded, and his figure slowly disappeared in front of the Mizukage.

  ...

Kirigakure targeted Team 7, and Kumogakure did not just foolishly fight with Konoha.

As a Kumogakure ninja arrived at Hidden Rain Village, Hanzo of the Salamander also understood that the opportunity for Hidden Rain Village to enter World War II had come.

"We also want to help Kumogakure, but Hidden Rain Village is too far away from the Land of Hot Springs."

Hanzo of the Salamander said to the Kumogakure envoy with some embarrassment.

Although this sentence is mainly to get benefits from Kumogakure, it is not wrong.

If Hidden Rain Village wants to reach the Land of Hot Springs, it needs to pass through the Land of Grass, the Land of Sound, the Land of Iron, and the Land of Water Taki.

Such a distance is not far.

"Of course, the Raikage took into account the distance between your country and the Land of Hot Springs, so he made a promise that as long as the Konoha Police Force and the Anbu remain in the Land of Hot Springs, half of the Sharingan obtained will be given to the Hidden Rain Village, and half of the six ninja swords will also be given to the Hidden Rain Village, and the Hidden Cloud Village has the first choice."

The Hidden Cloud Village envoy said to the Salamander Hanzo with a smile.

During the war, there are no stingy people. After all, what you can have during the war does not mean that you can continue to have it in peacetime.

Before the major powers sit down and sign a ceasefire agreement, everything is possible.

"Okay, Hidden Rain Village will set off today." The Salamander Hanzo nodded and agreed directly without shirking.

At the same time, a transport troop heading to the Land of Whirlpools once again set off from the Hidden Mist Village.

On one of the few hills in the Land of Water, Rei and his five companions silently looked at the transport troop in front of them.

"Three-tail Jinchuriki and Six-tail Jinchuriki..."

Tsunade blinked and turned her head to look at Rei beside her.

"Tell me, if we let them go and wait for them to go far away, and then directly attack Kirigakure, will they be able to react?"

Orochimaru put his hands together, put his chin on his arms, and looked at Rei.

"Is there a possibility that if we fight here, the Mizukage will directly arrive at the battlefield?"

Rei pursed his lips and said to his two friends helplessly.

"Then how about we retreat?"

Jiraiya raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words. Jiraiya admitted that what Rei and Orochimaru said made sense.

And from what they said, it seemed that they wanted to retreat.

So, Jiraiya spoke confidently, this time... it can't be wrong, right?

In fact, Jiraiya didn't seem to want to retreat, but since two people in the team had this intention, Jiraiya was willing to help take the pressure.

After all, they were companions, and the opponents were the Jinchuriki and the possible Mizukage. It's not shameful.

"Huh? No way, the big toad sage is afraid?"

Rei turned his head and looked at Jiraiya when he heard the words.

Jiraiya was stunned when he heard this.

Tsunade ruthlessly finished off the enemy.

"Are you scared now?"
