To Nagato's expectation, after learning about the murder of the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder, the Five Hidden Villages all speeded up the deployment of ninjas.
They even united...
Ninjas move much faster than ordinary people.
Only two days.
The vast majority of ninjas have already gathered at the border of the Land of Rain.
The shadows of the Five Hidden Villages also set up a coalition headquarters in the Country of Grass to sense ninjas to monitor the entire Country of Rain and monitor every move of the powerful people in the Country of Rain.
"Didn't those ninjas who attacked the Daimyo return?" the Fourth Raikage asked through gritted teeth.
After being air-attacked by Nagato and others, he has been angry to this day.
Now I am fully looking forward to teaching those ninjas in the Land of Rain a lesson.
They have already deployed a dragnet in the airspace entering the Kingdom of Rain.
Waiting for the return of those daring ninjas.
"In this case, we don't have to wait for the armies of those daimyo, we can just go straight to the Kingdom of Rain."
"It's just that it won't be easy for the daimyo to explain. If another daimyo dies, they may not pay the promised reward." Kazekage Luosha said with some worry.
After all, this group of ninjas besieged the Land of Rain this time just for the massive mission rewards provided by the daimyo.
If they didn't get a penny after finishing their work because of the death of the daimyo, why would they come to the Country of Rain to work hard?
How much victory the Kingdom of Rain can achieve determines how much reward they can get.
Whether the daimyo is comforted or not determines whether they can get the reward.
In the eyes of most ninjas, protecting the daimyo is the primary issue.
"Don't worry, daimyo are not that easy to get into trouble. The ninja who protects the daimyo this time is our ace in Konoha." Danzo said coldly:
"Prepare for war. At the same time, we must also be ready to fight at any time!"
Land of Fire, Temple of Fire.
Although night has fallen, the lights are still brightly lit here.
The triple barrier sealed this place of Qingxiu extremely tightly.
Ordinary methods cannot sense the internal situation at all; even if they can sense it, it will be difficult to break through the powerful defensive barrier and run in; even if the attacker is strong enough to break the defensive barrier, the existence of the time and space barrier can allow them to quickly move inside protected object.
"Why are we here to protect these idiots!"
Uzumaki Kushina looked at the four daimyo who were playing cards boredly.
Every time she saw the four great names wearing funny clothes, she couldn't help but feel sick.
Kushina, who was born in the Kingdom of Whirlpool and was once a princess of a small country, did not respect the nobles like ordinary ninjas.
After learning about the bounty offered by the five great names to the civilians of the Rain Country, she couldn't help but think of the former Whirlpool Country.
Her relatives were all killed for inexplicable reasons!
Deep in Uzumaki Kushina's heart, she even vaguely expected that the Rain Country would win in this war.
But she also knew that this hope was very slim.
"Obviously the changes in the Kingdom of Rain are very good, but they want to provoke the Kingdom of Rain and want to destroy the Kingdom of Rain. The mess they caused requires us ninjas to help clean up the mess they caused. The situation is already so dangerous, but why do you want to pick three people? Those who pick the fourth, I really don’t know how noble they are..."
She muttered: "Naruto is still so young, and he must be very anxious after being away from me for such a long time."
"Theoretically, I only need to protect these people, but I don't worry about letting you stay in Konoha alone." Namikaze Minato hugged his wife and comforted him: "My junior brother even dares to kill nobles, maybe He also has ideas about tailed beasts."
"Only when you stay by my side can I feel at ease."
Among the top brass in Konoha, the relationship between the three leaders of the Ume no Kuni Akatsuki organization and Jiraiya is no longer a secret.
But everyone knows that in the current situation, personal relationships cannot affect the three Nagatos who are responsible for the fate of the entire Rain Country... Konoha, after all, is the invading party, and the master-disciple relationship alone cannot ask for those People, without any resistance, stretched out their necks and let them chop them off.
In fact, Namikaze Minato was worried about more than just Nagato and the others.
What he was worried about had always been the mysterious magnetic escape ninja who had attacked him and resulted in the deaths of more than a dozen of the top powerhouses of Konoha's younger generation.
What he was worried about was the mastermind entangled in the entire ninja world.
"Minato, promise me, you will not fight desperately..." Uzumaki Kushina looked up at her husband: "In this war, neither Konoha nor the five major countries are on the righteous side!"
She said seriously: "If you are stained with blood in this war, my conscience will be uneasy for the rest of my life!
"Just pray for Naruto."
Namikaze Minato nodded: "Well, I promise you, if Nagato and the others come here to attack, I will only notify the Five Shadows, and at most I will use the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring the Five Shadows here."
He actually felt a little guilty.
If it was really necessary, he might take action.
He sighed deeply, calmed down his mood, and started practicing again.
Practice the immortal mode.
There are some special places in the ninja world where the concentration of natural energy far exceeds that of ordinary areas, such as the three holy places where psychic beasts are located.
The Fire Temple is also a special place.
Although the concentration of natural energy cannot be compared with Mt. Miaomu, it is many times richer than in ordinary areas, and it is easier to enter sage mode here.
After practicing hard at Miaomu Mountain for so long, his mastery of sage mode is now as good as Jiraiya's.
But he still thinks that his strength is not strong enough.
His mastery of Sage Mode is not deep enough.
It should be noted that the toads in Myoboku Mountain are in sage mode almost all the time!
Namikaze Minato had an extremely arrogant idea.
permanent!
Keep yourself in the sage mode, and only need to maintain the lowest state to maintain your energy during normal times; absorb a large amount of natural energy during battle, so as to display powerful ninjutsu.
He knew that this step was difficult.
Now he only has a vague concept, and he doesn't even know how to take the first step.
After Namikaze Minato had absorbed the natural energy and just entered sage mode, he felt a vague sense of prying eyes.
He carefully sensed the circle.
Found nothing...
Then, Namikaze Minato, who suddenly remembered something, suddenly raised his head and looked at the darkened area in the sky.
"Oh, it seems we have been discovered..." On the sand iron, Oya Chengen said with a smile.
"After all, it is Konoha Shining who is guarding here. If it were not an accident, he would have become the fourth Hokage of Konoha." Orochimaru said solemnly: "It is said that he has mastered the sage mode, and his strength is better than that of the third generation. He became much stronger during the Ninja World War! If you underestimate him, you will probably die in his hands!"
