Chapter 240: Allied Forces Gather
After seeing off the two Minatos, Orochimaru continued to assemble his troops.
With sufficient stimulus policies, the pre-war mobilization was as smooth as ever.
In less than a day, a large army had been assembled.
The efficiency is the best in Konoha.
Moreover, the momentum was as high as ever, and he wanted to kill the entire Iwagakure Village!
Even the various ninja clans in Konoha were very considerate and sent their elites and even clan leaders to fight.
None of them are stupid.
Firstly, it was for the high war rewards, and secondly, it was to show his face in front of the new Hokage.
Now in Konoha, even a fool can see that Orochimaru's position as Hokage is unbreakable.
Let alone the next ten years or even decades, this person will be in power.
Why don't you show off now?
Do you want to make the same mistake as the Uchiha, for fear that the higher-ups in Konoha won't use your clan to scare the monkeys?
Although most people don't think that Orochimaru will follow Sarutobi's governance strategy, after all, there is no Sarutobi clan behind Orochimaru.
But it would not be a bad thing for the new king to show his face and contribute more when he takes the throne.
Say it again.
This is a joint expedition by the five major villages, and the risks are equally shared among the five villages. This is a good thing that many ninjas will never encounter once in their lives.
In their eyes, what they were attacking was just an underground mercenary organization established in Yu Ninja Village.
Isn’t that easy to get?
What are you afraid of?
Just do it!
…
Early next morning.
The Fifth Hokage, Orochimaru, led the main force of Konoha to the expedition.
A 5,000-man force composed of most of Konoha's elite, more than half of whom are chuunin. There are more than a thousand ninjas from the Sarutobi clan alone!
It can be seen that the third generation Sarutobi, who has abdicated, is also spending a lot of money this time.
In order to avenge Danzo and deal with the Akatsuki organization, he was more active than anyone else.
It was precisely because the Sarutobi clan had spent so much money and Orochimaru personally led the expedition that the other ninja clans followed suit.
also.
Orochimaru did not take Jiraiya to attack, but asked him to stay in the village to protect Naruto, Sasuke and others.
As a result, with Sarutobi and Jiraiya guarding the house, even if the Akatsuki organization sent people to attack Konoha, it would be difficult to succeed.
Although these two old perverts, master and apprentice, are not serious, their strength is still very reliable.
Especially Sarutobi-sensei, if he really encounters an enemy of the Akatsuki organization that he cannot deal with. All he had to do was use half the force he used to deal with himself, his head would heat up, and then another zombie would seal it off.
It would be a good thing to sacrifice one's life for the village like that!
At this moment, it’s time to go on an expedition.
The entrance to Konoha Village.
Jiraiya said goodbye to Orochimaru and couldn't help but ask:
"Old man, do you really want to go out in person?"
As a Hokage, shouldn't he sit in his hometown like the third generation, make decisions thousands of miles away, and send troops to the battlefield fiercely?
"Why, can't you trust me?"
"I'm afraid that the newly born Hokage in the village will die on the battlefield again. If you die, the old man will have to sit back again."
Jiraiya had a headache. After learning about Naruto's miserable childhood, he really didn't want the old man to be in power anymore.
"Hahaha! Don't worry."
"Even if you die, I can't die!"
Aunt Snake is very confident in herself.
And in order to supervise the battle and obtain Akatsuki's body and inheritance, Orochimaru had to go there in person.
"Bah! I'll definitely live longer!"
"Also, is there any news from Tsunade?"
"There are rumors about the Big Fat Sheep in domestic casinos, but we are not sure of her whereabouts..."
While Tsunade's big fat sheep was hiding from debts, it also happened to avoid Konoha's frequent prying eyes.
Jiraiya wasn't sure where the other person was now.
"After receiving the news of the war in the village, she will most likely come back to take a look. Remember to keep her, I will be useful in the future."
"Ah? In the future?"
"Stop talking nonsense, I'll leave the village to you. Stop visiting the bathhouses and watch Naruto and the others!"
Orochimaru did not tell Jiraiya that the leaders of the Akatsuki organization were Nagato and the others.
If Jiraiya knew, he would probably cause a lot of trouble again.
Many times, being confused is not necessarily a bad thing.
"Hahaha...Leave it to me!"
"As long as I am here, I will never give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it!"
Jiraiya blushed and promised, with a righteous expression on his face.
For the village.
He decided to start quitting sex today!
…
At the same time, Class 7 on the other side was also saying goodbye.
In order to protect our Kakashi unit at close range, Aunt Snake naturally brought Kakashi with her in this battle.
But the other three members of Class 7 were left behind.
Originally, Sasuke still had a chance.
Unfortunately, due to some people's behind-the-scenes manipulation, Sasuke's registration review was also rejected.
"Kakashi-sensei, you must not die!"
Naruto hugged Kakashi's thigh and howled reluctantly.
It made Kakashi not go to the battlefield, but as if he was going to the execution ground.
Kakashi covered his forehead and sighed:
"You three, stay in the village! I'll tell you everything when I come back."
"Especially Naruto, please don't cause any more trouble."
"Also, keep an eye on Sasuke for me!"
Naruto was confused: "Huh?"
"Just try to keep an eye on him. Uchiha guys don't give up so easily..."
Kakashi clearly saw through Sasuke's intentions and reminded him specifically.
Sasuke was slightly startled, put his hands in his pockets, pouted and looked away, without responding.
But he still went his own way in his heart.
"Okay, leave the Sas to me!" Naruto assured confidently.
Kakashi knew the stubborn Uchiha too well, but he could only do so much.
Then.
Kakashi touched Naruto and the other three, and then followed the main force to go out.
A large number of Konoha ninjas and some Sound Ninja warriors, led by Orochimaru, rushed straight to the Land of Grass.
The same scene.
In addition to the fallen Rock Village, the other three villages were also playing out.
The Cloud Village was more straightforward and had already set out in a team.
The Mist Village had a deep hatred for the Fourth Generation and the Blood Mist Policy, and hated the Akatsuki Organization to the core, so naturally they tried their best to form a team to attack.
The Sand Village was originally unwilling to get involved, but it was really driven crazy by the previous compensation, and the whole village was almost poor.
Now that they finally have a bite of hot food, they naturally rush to eat it.
Even the Acting Kazekage Chiyo herself can't stop this trend.
Moreover, in the eyes of most Sand Ninjas.
If they can't beat Konoha, they can't beat a small Rain Village?
...
Time flies.
On the seventh day after the Five Kage Talks, the troops of the five major villages gathered in the Grass Country.
A full 50,000 ninja army.
Although not as many as the original four wars; but in terms of efficiency and quality, they are not inferior at all.
The Grass Country Daimyo was so scared that he mistakenly thought that they were coming to attack his country, and he opened the city to surrender overnight.
Together with the Grass Village that had been swept away, it was requisitioned as the temporary headquarters of the Ninja Alliance.
Although the speed of gathering and traveling of other villages was already very fast.
However, in the eyes of the Fourth Raikage Ai, it was still too slow and too slow!
If it weren't for the strong persuasion of several of his own guards and core senior executives, Raikage Ai would have led the team to kill Akatsuki directly.
However, as the army gathered.
Another more controversial contradiction and difficulty also emerged.
That is, should the coalition attack the occupied Iwagakure Village first? Or turn around and attack the Akatsuki's home village, the Rain Village?
The Tsuchikage Ohnoki and his men, who had been suffering for a whole week, naturally hoped that the coalition would give priority to the Iwagakure Village.
But others didn't think so, because the joys and sorrows between people were different.
The two sides had a fierce dispute over this, which almost stopped the ninja coalition and stranded them in the Land of Grass for a time.
