Chapter 597 War begins!

One day later, the Raikage Ai, the Tsuchikage Ōnoki, the Mizukage Yagura, and the Iron Kingdom Mifune were already sitting together.

Outside, 60,000 coalition troops were busy arranging defenses.

Opposite the 60,000-strong coalition forces was Uchiha Madara, who folded his arms, indifferent to the actions of the coalition, and the White Zetsu who were standing in place basking in the sun.

"That Uchiha Madara obviously wants to wait until we are all gathered before launching the attack!" Ohnoki concluded.

Ohnoki's old bones were still quite strong, and Uchiha Madara did not kill him, so after a day and a night of treatment by the medical ninja, he was almost fully recovered.

"Yes, from what we can see right now, Madara wants to catch us all in one fell swoop." Mifune agreed with a grim look on his face.

"Don't be nervous. It's still unknown who will win." Yagura said calmly.

Over the years, Yagura had already become Obito's mouthpiece, and his response this time was flawless.

However, Obito's drama is about to end. According to Kadoki's action plan, Yagura will die here this time.

"Damn Konoha, why is it so late?!" Ai was a little indignant: "Konoha is not planning to wait until we are both defeated before picking peaches!"

Oonoki didn't say anything when he heard this, but his expression changed.

Konoha's annexation of the Sand Village and the Sound Village ultimately made the other major ninja villages more vigilant.

"report!"

A Cloud Ninja came in with two letters in his hand and handed them to the Raikage Ai.

"This is a handwritten letter from Lord Nozomi and Lord Hokage. Lord Raikage, please take a look!"

"Hmm..." Ai ignored the looks from others and carelessly opened the envelope. After reading it for a few seconds, he smacked his lips and snorted coldly.

"Take a look! Konoha is really dragging its feet..." Ai muttered in dissatisfaction and handed the letter over.

In addition to mentioning the itinerary and a few polite words, Minato's letter expressed some apologies for the delay.

In the letter, Xi explained the itinerary of the Konoha Ninja Army and revealed a piece of information, that is, Konoha's Six Paths Sage Umino Kadoki was seriously injured and might miss this battle.

This is also what makes Ai very dissatisfied.

"Tsk, Konoha had already met Uchiha Madara, but they didn't reveal such important news in advance!" Ohnoki was very unhappy.

"Now is not the time to pursue this, Tsuchikage-sama." Mifune had to smooth things over: "Madara is also a traitor to Konoha, and he didn't have so many troops around him at that time."

Yagura said nothing and sat quietly in the chair, saying less means less mistakes.

"Forget it, even though Umino Kakuki is gone, at least there is still the golden flash." This is the only way Ai can comfort her.

"By the way, send a message to Konoha. Since they haven't arrived yet, let's just launch a surprise attack from the rear and attack Uchiha Madara together with us to catch him off guard!"

As soon as this was said, several people expressed their agreement.

Judging from the map, Konoha and Kumogakure are separated by the Land of Hot Springs and the Land of the Moon, and the Konoha Ninja Army that is now rushing to the battlefield is just behind Uchiha Madara.

The Cloud Ninja took the order and left.

"With the support of Konoha's 10,000 ninja troops, our number has reached 70,000. Although our numbers are smaller than the enemy, there are no other strong men except Uchiha Madara, so the overall combat power is balanced!" Ohnoki analyzed silently.

"Yes, this battle still has to be fought." Mifune said, "At this critical moment, we must put aside our past grudges and work together!"

"According to the time, the Konoha Ninja Army will arrive tomorrow, and then we will launch a general attack together!" Ai said with finality.

Just when Ai was about to give an impassioned speech to inspire people, he suddenly heard a commotion outside.

Immediately afterwards, the Cloud Ninja who had just left came back.

"Lord Raikage, something bad has happened! Uchiha Madara has launched an attack!"

“Nani???”

.......

"Madara-sama, I'm back."

Next to Uchiha Madara, Zetsu's "black and white" head slowly emerged from the soil.

"Have you got the stuff, Jue?"

"Of course, this is the secret treasure passed down from generation to generation in the Hidden Cloud Village, the Amber Purifying Bottle."

With great effort, he carried out a thick jar that was half a person's height.

"It is said that if you respond to the owner's words, you will be sealed in this jar... It is an amber bottle, which is very convenient."

"That's not necessary." Before Jue could continue his introduction, he was interrupted by Ban.

"This kind of waste is generally used in such conditions that only the weak can use it. Anyway, all we have to do is stuff the tailed beasts in there."

Madara said this indifferently, the breeze blowing through his long hair, adding a touch of wildness.

Due to the limitations of his body of reincarnation, Madara is currently unable to become a Jinchūriki, and has not thought about summoning the Gaiden Statue for the time being.

Let's just use this jar as a container to store the tailed beasts.

"Everything is ready...attack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Madara swung his arms backwards and rushed towards the allied ninja forces with an unstoppable momentum.

"oh!!!"

The mighty White Zetsu Army followed Madara's footsteps and surged towards the Allied Ninja Forces like a tide!

......

"Nozomi Jounin, there has been a change of plan. We do not need to join the coalition forces. Instead, we will launch a surprise attack directly at Madara's rear."

Minato took down Ninja Hawk's mailbox, read the message from Ai, and said to Xi.

"Is that so? That's good too. We can form a pincer attack on Madara, and our chances of winning are even better!"

Xi said with some excitement.

"Yes, I can't wait to fight with Madara."

Minato smiled in response, his warm smile like the rising sun.

"Yes! We will definitely win!"

As if infected by Minato's smile, Xi's blood also boiled.

Wait for me, my friends! We will win!

......

The battlefield at this moment was not as beautiful as Xi had imagined.

"Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique!"

Not long after fighting with the Allied Ninja Forces, Madara immediately discovered that the White Zetsu Legion, which lacked strong men, still had a certain gap when facing the united Allied Ninja Forces.

To this end, Madara immediately activated the Wood Clone Technique, creating 25 wood clones, each of which was using the third stage Susanoo, and rushed towards the coalition ninja forces.

With the help of the wooden clone driving the Gundam, the advantages of the White Zetsu Army's overall strong quality and fearlessness of death were immediately brought into play.

The 60,000-strong ninja coalition began to suffer heavy casualties under the impact of 100,000 White Zetsu.

The situation is not optimistic for several Kage-level warriors in the Ninja Alliance.

Ai, Ōnoki, Yagura, and Mifune teamed up to fight against Uchiha Madara, but they were still at a disadvantage.

In this way, the fighting lasted for a whole day.

The Allied Ninja Forces temporarily retreated, and the White Zetsu Legion did not pursue them.

Ai and the other four looked at the battle damage report handed in by their subordinates with headaches.
