Transformed into Uchiha, I am a bad woman

The reason why they didn't discover it at that time was that although both sides were fighting on the front line, the battlefield was not in the same direction at all, but stretched for more than ten miles.

The numerous Byakugan ninjas were also able to do this, but even if they noticed it at the time, all they saw was a hidden summoning beast.

Unless there are special circumstances, this is a target that can generally be ignored.

However, when Jiraiya led his men back to the Iwagakure front line to attempt a surprise attack, he discovered the appearance of another Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, and another Jinchūriki.

They joined forces, cooperated with Deidara and the Sealing Force to suppress the runaway Four-Tails, allowing Lao Zi to regain consciousness.

At this time, the opponent's advanced power has far exceeded his own. Even if he uses the Sage Mode, he has no chance of winning. What's more, he has not found the caster of the curse.

Therefore, Jiraiya had no choice but to return empty-handed.

The consequences of this delay and this risky action were disastrous.

Although the Konoha ninjas who lost their leader were appointed a new commander, they were unable to convince the others due to their strength and qualifications. The sudden deaths of two or three ninjas from time to time touched everyone's heartstrings.

Some ninjas had already left the team, leaving behind the bodies of their companions and trying to escape. The remaining Konoha ninjas were also in a state of panic and frightened, and they fled back to the border of the Land of Fire in a rout and a race for their lives.

Even if they came to their own territory, the god of death was still haunting everyone's heads. The death toll was no longer three or five at a time like at the beginning, but maybe only one or two people, because the blood would be repeated.

But everyone's fear did not ease. When Jiraiya reorganized the team and gathered everyone together, he found that there were only a little over a thousand Konoha ninjas left who could follow him.

Except for the ninjas who died on the Iwagakure front line, the rest either died from the curse or escaped.

The latter were even more numerous, and finally this almost collapsed ninja army arrived at the Konoha Ninja Village without sleeping for several days.

Those ninjas who had been injured before were almost killed or injured. The only ones left were some Konoha ninjas who had no external injuries and could not be cursed by the Death Master's blood, but were almost scaring themselves crazy.

And if there were psychologists in this world, they would most likely be deemed no longer suitable for the role of a ninja and would only be able to perform logistical chores in the rear.

This was the scene that appeared before the eyes of the people of Konoha Village who were eagerly awaiting victory. Faced with this scene, Tsunade, who had learned the information that Jiraiya had said, could only remain silent.

As the Hokage, she did not have much time to think about the pros and cons of this matter. She could only ask the members of several parties in the combat meeting that followed to try to avoid getting wounds when fighting with the Iwagakure Village - this would restrict her own people and thus affect their combat effectiveness, but it was also a helpless choice.

There was another bigger thing that was giving her a headache. The huge military of the Hidden Cloud Village had already crossed the neutral country and was heading towards the Land of Fire.

This time, Konoha could no longer keep the enemy out of the country, and could only rely on the layers of defense on its own land to try to stop them.

This means that their territory will be ravaged like the Rain Kingdom before.

And there is one more message.

That was two days ago when the ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village - the bloody mist village that had always been famous for its infighting and poverty - launched a brazen attack on Konoha.

As the thick fog arrives, several border outposts are attacked by Kirigakure ninjas, and the leader appears to be a powerful female ninja.

Because of being isolated from the outside world for many years and the lack of intelligence from the outside world, the consultants were unable to come up with a good response plan. They could only ask that when fighting with the enemy, they should try to avoid places where fog is likely to form, such as lakes, rivers, forests, etc.

Try to fight in an open area, so that you can suppress the opponent's silent killing skills to the limit.

A few days ago, news came that Kumogakure had officially decided to go to war with Konoha because the time for the ultimatum had passed. Due to an additional clause in the alliance treaty between the two parties, Yotsuya immediately manipulated the Mizukage to ignore the voices of opposition and directly announced the conclusion of the war at the meeting.

It was then announced that a grand military parade would be held in front of the Mizukage Building in the Hidden Mist Village, at a location newly named Water Will Square.

In fact, in Yang No's plan, at least in the first stage, she would not withdraw a large number of ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village to support the front-line operations.

At this time, under the command of Mei Terumi, there were about three thousand ninjas of varying quality. They were all troublemakers from various factions and were exiled to the front line for various reasons.

In addition, all the forces patrolling the border were mobilized, and then the rebel ninjas led by Higobo, a newly promoted member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, about 600 of them were also packed up and sent to Mei Terumi.

Although there is basically no need to expect them to follow Mei Terumi's arrangements, they are still her nominal power.

As a result, the Hidden Mist Village has more than 3,600 troops stockpiled on the outlying island near the Fire Country on the front line.

This force was not considered large. In the subsequent Ninja World War, the five major ninja villages concentrated more than 80,000 troops to fight against 100,000 White Zetsu.

Those were all real ninjas. Even if the number of ninjas from each village was not equal, the Hidden Mist Village could at least produce more than 10,000 ninjas at that time.

In short, these first batches of forces are just a small help in fulfilling the obligations of the Kumogakure Alliance.

Yang Naining would rather hold on to the more powerful forces and not use them than use them before all parties have really come to an end.

After all, rather than saying that she was considering the Kirigakure, it would be better to say that she was prioritizing her own interests. Kirigakure and Akatsuki were both her pawns, just like the Hokage and the clan leader on the night of the Uchiha Rebellion. She had her own plans...

On the other hand, according to the intelligence from Kumogakure, the Fourth Raikage planned to mobilize more than 16,000 ninjas, as well as a large number of logistical and medical support forces.

If the two sides join forces, the number may exceed 20,000, and this force will attack the Konoha Ninja Village head-on with a grand formation.

However, for now, the role of the Hidden Mist Village is still to constantly harass Konoha in another secondary direction, distracting its attention and manpower.

Right on the high platform in the Square of Water Will, Uchiha Haruno, the advisor to the Mizukage, gave a stirring speech on behalf of the Mizukage who was unable to attend due to some reasons.
