One Dragon Tail Kick will shatter your Susanoo dream!

At this moment, in an underground base within a factory being built with the help of Kusagakure in the Land of Rain, Sasori was excitedly fiddling with the corpse in his hands.

"As expected of the man who fought against ten thousand men and is hailed as the strongest shield and the strongest spear, Kusakage really gave me a big surprise!"

Scorpion grinned morbidly as he meticulously began the final touches on the creation of the human puppet, because Kusakage had recently promised to help him test the puppet's combat capabilities!

On the border between Amakusa and Uchiha, the atmosphere of battle was rather strange. The battle in the central region, where the fighting should have been the most intense, was now being fought by young ninjas, who were using clumsy ninjutsu and ninja tools to fight each other.

The ninja tools were all custom-made: wooden kunai and plastic ninja swords. Although they weren't very lethal, they still caused injuries.

A group of middle-aged ninjas gathered together, holding magazines or other items. Despite wearing different ninja headbands, they chatted like old friends.

"Brother, I'm borrowing your latest masterpiece from Kato Taka of Kusagakure, 'The Raikage's Romantic History,' the illustrated version, for a couple of days. Remember to return it to me when the battle starts tomorrow!"

"My good bro, the salamander sashimi and hot pot are on me!"

"Hey, the newest 'Poop-Scooping Boy' from Kusagakure, want an autographed photo?"

"Wow, I love this combination! I'll treat you to soju tomorrow!"

Some of the stronger Chunin kept an eye on the young Grass Ninja or Rain Ninja who were engaged in battle, and would occasionally go up and give them some pointers!

Outside the battlefield, however, the fighting was intense, with real guns and bullets flying everywhere. People were frequently seen spitting out tomato juice and collapsing, their average level of ninja-like skill. As for why, the job of feigning death required the elite to act convincingly.

Near the outer perimeter, Nagato rode a salamander, his onion-like eyes glaring.

"Kage, prepare to die! Shinra Tensei!"

A large number of boulders fell rapidly, turning the area hundreds of meters around where Cao Zhi was located into ruins.

Buried beneath the ruins are spies from other ninja villages...

Cao Zhi flashed to Nagato's side and blinked slightly, and Nagato immediately understood.

"Witness my power, Nagato!"

A massive amount of seawater appeared out of nowhere, churning and surging towards Nagato. Then, Shinra Tensei was unleashed, and the seawater, like sharp swords, was hurled towards the spot where Kusashi had blinked earlier...

The seawater carried several masked corpses, drifting away with the current into the distance...

That's right, this was an exhibition match. All five major ninja villages participated and suffered losses. The most unfortunate was Sunagakure, which almost lost its young generation. When the body of the Third Raikage was taken away, Kusanagi even accidentally dropped his Sunagakure headband. It was definitely not intentional...

Konoha follows the same old rule: after Kumogakure fights, Iwagakure fights, and then Kirigakure fights!

If the Sand Ninja hadn't been on the verge of surrendering from the Iwagakure, it would probably have been another exhilarating 1v4 battle...

Given the devastating losses suffered by the major ninja villages, how could they allow the increasingly powerful Kusagakure to continue its growth? Thus, Kusagakure approached Nagato and staged this whole charade.

Although the two villages had a good relationship and were allies, betraying allies was common practice in the ninja world, so not many ninja villages took it seriously. In addition, the aftermath of the battle between Kusashi and Nagato killed many spies.

Such a wide-ranging ninjutsu attack not only chilled the scouts' hearts but also solidified their conviction that war had definitely broken out between the two countries, and that the intensity of the war was not low, after all, Kusagakure was sending batches of students who had not yet graduated from the Ninja Academy to the front lines!

The ninjas from the Ame and Kusanagi villages ate hot pot and sang songs, giving each other practical training and guidance to the new generation. Meanwhile, the ninjas from other major ninja villages were fighting tooth and nail. On the Kumogakure side, A succeeded as the Fourth Raikage, and his first task was to regroup and lead the Kumogakure ninjas to invade the Land of Earth.

They almost broke through the entire Land of Earth. Onoki returned to defend Iwagakure and temporarily halted the war of invasion into the Land of Wind. After all, since the start of the war, the Iwagakure ninja had suffered heavy casualties every day and had gained nothing but a mouthful of sandstorms.

Not long after Sunagakure returned to peace, Kirigakure reinforced its troops again, with their target being the weakened Sunagakure. The Land of Wind was plunged into war once more. Rasa's control over the village was insufficient, as he had not yet ascended to the throne when he was caught in a series of wars.

Thus, a female ninja, leading a group of Sand Ninja who followed her, shouldered the heavy responsibility and chose to fight against the Mist Ninja. She was Pakura. Due to her unique Scorch Release, she made great contributions in the long battle against the Mist Ninja and was known as the battle hero of Sand Village.

She is also considered the new generation of legendary female ninja who is closest to Chiyo!

She has been active on the Sand Mist battlefield for many years, accumulating a large number of battle merits, and even showing signs of surpassing Rasa. Many female Sand Ninja regard her as a role model and follow her in battle!

The war between the five great ninja villages lasted for nearly two years. Minato Namikaze became famous throughout the ninja world, single-handedly cutting through the Iwa ninja and thwarting the young Abby duo's plot to attack Konoha's rear. He was hailed as the Yellow Flash.

Furthermore, each ninja village secretly issued an order that upon encountering Konoha's Yellow Flash, they could abandon their mission and flee without facing any punishment...

While the Abby duo became a stepping stone for Minato Namikaze to ascend to godhood, Abby's outstanding performance in the Iwagakure counterattack earned him the reputation of being a man with unparalleled physical speed, comparable to Minato Namikaze, and he was known as "Blue Lightning"!

Because of the deepening bond with the Eight-Tails, it was even possible to activate the Tailed Beast form on the battlefield, which was known as a powerful weapon in team battles. During the battle between Iwagakure and Sunagakure, a large number of ninjas died and were called "Killer Bees" by the enemy!

Yekura, on the other hand, caused many Kirigakure ninja to be roasted into dried mummies on the Sand Mist battlefield. Their gruesome deaths were referred to by Kirigakure as the "Scorching Release Masters" of Sunagakure.

Rasa was smeared by a newly established newspaper in the ninja world, who called him the "Gold-Digging Prince"...

This insulting term almost made Rasa lose his temper. If the newspaper's headquarters hadn't been located in Kusagakure, they would have already come to silence him!

Nagato and Kusashi, who were already famous, were respectively known as the "King of the Divine Eye" and the "God of War of the Ninja World"!

Because Cao Zhi always manages to win in the enemy's areas of expertise with an even stronger and more powerful attitude, the title of God of War is well-deserved!

Meanwhile, Kusashi secretly returned to the village because the Night Watchman, who was in charge of intelligence work, had recently discovered that a small number of Konoha ninjas were secretly plotting something in the Land of Grass, near the Kannabi Bridge...

Looking at Hatake Sakumo, who had changed into a tight-fitting outfit, Kusaji couldn't help but rest his chin on his hands and said in a deep voice.

"Are you sure you want to carry out the infiltration mission alone, without me sending a few squads to assist you?"

Hatake Sakumo used his foot to brace against the chakra short sword, White Fang, quietly wiping the blade and nodding gently.

"Kisame has grown very quickly. He can now easily operate the newly established intelligence networks between various countries, and the training of Night Watchmen has basically become a standardized process..."

"Intelligence indicates that Konoha dispatched a total of 8 teams, but only one team successfully infiltrated the area, including Kakashi. However, their whereabouts have been discovered by Iwa ninja, and they are in danger at any moment. Forgive my stubbornness, Kusakage-sama!"

"As a father, I cannot tolerate my child having problems right before my eyes. If anything happens to Kakashi, I absolutely cannot stand by and watch it happen..."

Kusaji made a shushing gesture, silencing Hatake Sakumo, and then took out a yellow flower ornament from his sleeve.

"Take it. If you encounter a problem you can't solve, you should know how to use it..."

"I've already informed the Night Watch beforehand that they'll offer some assistance if they encounter Kakashi and the others during their patrols!"

Sakumo Hatake bowed deeply. He felt somewhat awkward about being a member of the Grass Village and helping the Leaf Village ninja because of his own family affairs. He also felt ashamed of the Grass Village Kage's actions.

"Thank you, Lord Kusakage!"

"Once Kakashi safely overcomes this crisis, I will work even harder to repay the village!"
