I simultaneously traverse countless worlds

Compared to Kakashi Hatake and Kyoto's nodding in understanding, and the smiling face of the samurai commander from the Land of Iron, the commanders of the other nearly ten small ninja villages were extremely enthusiastic, almost bowing and scraping to show their humility.

While the commanders of these small ninja villages may appear to be displaying a very humble and subservient attitude, this is actually not unusual in the ninja world. The ability of these small ninja villages to survive in the standoff between the five great ninja villages demonstrates their exceptional ability to adapt to changing circumstances. Those small ninja villages that were tough and even disregarded the five great ninja villages have long since become historical figures, such as the Sky Ninja Village, which was destroyed by Konoha Village under a pretext.

The former Sky Village was also intended to be recruited by Konoha as a subordinate village. However, the Sky Village, which was arrogant about its strength, refused to become a subordinate village, so Konoha found an excuse to destroy it without hesitation. The other small ninja villages that were destroyed by the four great ninja villages were also unlucky ones who failed to see the situation clearly or were blocked by others.

No one would really think that the Five Great Ninja Villages are vegetarian animals, right?

Even Konoha Village has never hesitated to take action against the Sky Village, which posed a threat. For example, Uzushiogakure Village, a staunch ally of Konoha Village, was wiped out by the other three great ninja villages because they were targeted by them. Uzushiogakure Village was not weak in strength.

In the current ninja world, Amegakure and the surviving smaller ninja villages are either considered too troublesome by the five great ninja villages, where the cost far outweighs the gains, or they have been weakened to the point of no longer posing a threat. Amegakure naturally falls into the former category, while nearly ten smaller ninja villages belong to the latter. Naturally, these smaller ninja villages try to curry favor with Amegakure, vaguely regarding it as their leader, to ensure they are not abandoned as pawns in the war and at least have their interests protected.

Under these circumstances, the attitudes of other smaller ninja villages towards Amegakure are self-evident. If Nagato hadn't been uninterested in women in the past, other smaller ninja villages would probably have considered using honey traps or similar tactics to strengthen their relationship with the future leader of Amegakure.

"Ahem, Lord Kakashi Hatake, Lord Hirotsuchi, and everyone else, before we begin the meeting, I have something very important to tell you all!"

After exchanging brief pleasantries with the commanders of the smaller ninja villages, the puppet [Hanzo the Salamander, a demigod], personally crafted by Li Mo, walked directly to its seat without sitting down. It coughed twice and, amidst the gazes of the other ninja commanders, calmly stated, "Could you all... obediently become prisoners of the Ninja World Alliance?"

Buzz~!

The moment the puppet [Hanzo the Salamander] uttered those words, Nagato Uzumaki activated the barrier he had prepared earlier, instantly isolating the entire conference room. No matter how vigilant the guards outside were, it was all in vain.

Under normal circumstances, when Nagato Uzumaki casts his barrier technique, he traps a group of powerful ninjas in this small space, which can be described as a cramped, bloody fighting cage. The conference room, which is no more than a thousand square meters at most, is more than enough for this united side of special jonin, and even kage-level powerhouses and jinchūriki to surround and kill Nagato Uzumaki and [Hanzo the Salamander].

Those ninjas who were stunned by the sudden change but quickly recovered were preparing to use their secret techniques and ninjutsu when they suddenly found that they could not mobilize their chakra at all. Even Rōshi, the jinchūriki of the four-tailed beast Son Goku, could not mobilize the tailed beast chakra that he used to be able to easily control a battlefield. Even the four-tailed beast Son Goku was in a dazed state and did not make any move to transform into a tailed beast to fight.

Without a doubt, being unable to mobilize one's own chakra renders more than 90% of the ninjas in the conference room useless. They usually rely on chakra to activate ninjutsu, genjutsu, or secret techniques. Even if Kakashi Hatake were to activate his transplanted Sharingan, it would still require chakra and the consumption would be enormous. If he were to rely solely on taijutsu without chakra, it would be questionable whether he could even defeat a Chunin.

In any case, ninjas mostly use chakra to amplify their taijutsu. If we're talking about taijutsu that doesn't rely on chakra power at all, and where one can rival a Jonin with just their own physical strength, then the only taijutsu master would probably be Mike Gai. However, he's not here, and even if he were, it would be difficult for him to use the same techniques against Nagato Uzumaki.

Seeing that the commanders of the two major ninja villages and a group of smaller ninja villages were all lying down, Nagato Uzumaki immediately took action and sealed the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Rōshi, and then Shisui Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, and Kouta, among others, with special sealing techniques!

"Just now... it was a mixture of chakra suppression and toxins targeting the body, wasn't it..."

When Kakashi Hatake was captured by Nagato Uzumaki after he was sealed with a special seal, he seemed to realize something while he was weak and powerless. Looking at Nagato, who had sealed his chakra and mental power with a mixed sealing technique, turning him and others into ordinary people, he did not shout or try to surrender like the commanders of other small ninja villages. Instead, he calmly expressed his own views.

"You guessed right! So, you'd better become prisoners of war!"

Nagato Uzumaki, who had delivered a stab to the alliance's backs, nodded in agreement to Kakashi Hatake's guess. He was too lazy to talk to those fools who were shouting "Amegakure is going to betray the alliance" and "What are you doing?" But since it seemed that Kakashi Hatake had guessed his methods, he still answered casually.

That special toxin, which even Kage-level powerhouses and Jinchuriki of Tailed Beasts couldn't withstand, was naturally created by Orochimaru, the head of the research department, after Nagato applied to the Shinobi World Alliance. It was one of the results of his research on the connection between Jinchuriki and Tailed Beasts, the nature of Tailed Beasts, and chakra experiments. The colorless and odorless mixed toxin was extremely expensive and easy to neutralize if guarded against. However, any ninja who smelled the toxin would immediately become fish on a chopping board.

Even a Kage-level powerhouse like Uchiha Shisui, who mastered the [Kotoamatsukami] technique, or the Four-Tails Jinchuriki Roshi, would become helpless cripples after being hit by it. Their mobility would be similar to that of a ninety-year-old man with late-stage Parkinson's disease. Let alone getting up to use ninjutsu in battle, it would be a miracle if they could even stand up on their own. However, when faced with Orochimaru's creation, no miracle occurred.

Seeing that the commanders of all the ninja villages in the united defense line had been captured, Nagato, who had been suppressing his desire for years to stab these ninjas in the back and throw them into the dustbin of history, spoke directly through the classified communication channel:

"Well then, Lord Orochimaru, we have succeeded. Please proceed with the battle plan!"

Chapter 75 The Battle Situation Collapses

Nagato's actions were not his own whim. Rather, they were the result of Li Mo's previous planning of the battle, which included several different operational plans based on the anticipated results of the attacks on Kumogakure and the Land of Lightning.

As a crucial pawn planted by Li Mo within the allied forces, both Amegakure and Nagato Uzumaki had previously concealed their true identities well. The puppet [Hanzo the Salamander] created by Li Mo was so convincing that even those using ocular techniques like the [Byakugan] or the [Mangekyou Sharingan], or passively sensing it with various sensory ninjutsu, would mistake it for a true demigod of the ninja world.

Even Shimura Danzo, who had once cooperated with Hanzo the Salamander, did not know that the demigod Hanzo the Salamander had been killed by Nagato Uzumaki. He thought that Hanzo was still in control of Amegakure, which is why Li Mo used Amegakure as a spy for his own side.

Over the past few years, a third of the entire Rain Village has been replaced by ninjas trained by the Ninja Alliance. These ninjas, along with the Rain Village ninjas who had already been subdued by Nagato Uzumaki, have completely turned the Rain Village into a loyal subordinate of the Ninja Alliance. Even other small ninja villages have been placed as pawns. It can be said that the joint defense line carefully prepared by the alliance is nothing but a joke in Li Mo's eyes.

It wasn't that his previous preparations were incomplete, or that the number of ninja troops and management personnel he had trained was insufficient. Li Mo had already taken advantage of the weakened state of the remaining three great nations and three great ninja villages when he conquered the Land of Wind and the Sand Village, striking while the enemy was still weak. However, considering that the forces he had cultivated were not yet strong enough, and with powerful strength as support, he was confident enough to temporarily endure. He prioritized improving the strength of the Ninja Alliance while preparing to start another war at any time. Then, when he felt confident, he naturally acted without hesitation.

He easily captured the Land of Lightning and the Hidden Cloud Village. Now, the remaining two great countries and two great ninja villages would inevitably fight desperately. Naturally, Li Mo would no longer leisurely wait for them to come to his door. He directly agreed to the suggestion of activating Nagato Uzumaki and the Hidden Rain Village. Even Orochimaru in the desert war zone cooperated. The mixed poison that even Kage-level powerhouses and Jinchuriki were affected by was no ordinary stuff.

Orochimaru, in particular, as the deputy commander of the desert war zone, had been authorized by Li Mo and Ye Cang to directly command a well-equipped ninja army of no more than five thousand men. After receiving news from Nagato Uzumaki, the army quickly broke through the Rain Defense Line and then split into two groups to counter-encircle the enemy.

At this moment, the rear of the defense lines of the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth, which are closest to the Land of Rain, were already facing the onslaught of the Shinobi Alliance's ninja army. The Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Leaf Village never expected that the enemy would actually attack from their rear!

………………

Boom——————!

Behind the joint defensive line built by Iwagakure, chakra tanks, no less massive than heavy tanks, roared, their chakra cannons, modified to beggar versions based on the characteristics of the Tailed Beast Cannon, bombarding the enemy and creating a powerful barrage.

If the people of Kumogakure were lucky enough to see those chakra tanks, they would be astonished by the small size and great power of the chakra cannons on them. They completely simulated the transformation mode of the tailed beasts using the Tailed Beast Cannon by transforming the nature of fire-style chakra. A single chakra cannon shot could be compared to a Jonin's full-force A-rank fire-style ninjutsu, and its power was not much different from that of modern heavy artillery.

At least, there aren't many ninjas in the ninja world who dare to say they can ignore the attacks of A-rank ultimate ninjutsu. A single fire-type chakra cannon can burn people to ashes within a 50-meter diameter radius. Rocks placed under such power will turn into lava, and even steel can be melted into molten steel. Even though the Iwa ninjas are skilled at building defenses with earth-type ninjutsu and can use earth-release-like ninjutsu to hide underground, they are still very powerless against such a powerful attack.

In particular, the defensive line set up by Iwagakure mainly defends the desert area of ​​the original Land of Wind. They wouldn't set up any strong fortresses or strongholds in their own rear. Under normal circumstances, who would guard against the rear of their own village and the country they live in? In battles between villages, it's easy for flanking maneuvers to attack supply convoys and key nodes. In addition, Iwagakure has a large number of ninjas skilled in Earth Release, so they probably can't even build this passable rear guard line.

As a result, when Orochimaru's assault force split into two groups to outflank and encircle the enemy, Iwagakure could barely hold on by relying on its defensive line. However, under the continuous bombardment of hundreds of chakra tanks, they were about to collapse.

"Damn it! Those damned bastards from Amegakure...where are our reinforcements?!"

In an underground hideout at the rear of the Iwagakure defense line, an elite Jonin wearing an Iwagakure headband disregarded all etiquette and used the most vile words he knew to curse Amegakure, who had betrayed his side, and then shouted them at his deputy.

Unfortunately, this person had poor interpersonal relationships with his colleagues in the past, so he was assigned to the rear guard line with the same treatment as being exiled. He couldn't get involved in the lucrative logistics department. In the past, he was nominally in charge of three thousand ninja troops scattered in dozens of rear guard posts and fortresses, but in reality, he was stationed in this relatively key guard fortress. If the fortress hadn't been equipped with barrier techniques and reinforced with earth-style ninjutsu, it would probably have been wiped out by the raiding force in the first place.

Now, after being bombarded for less than five minutes, this elite Jonin of Iwagakure, who had originally been thinking about making a name for himself, immediately threw his previous little thoughts to the back of his mind and wished that reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible, otherwise the situation would be very bad!

"We have no reinforcements!"

Upon hearing his leader's shout, the special jonin holding the rank of adjutant turned deathly pale. He had just entered from outside the underground hideout, his face covered in dust and grime, a hint of despair in his eyes. He answered the question everyone present was most concerned about: reinforcements. "The people at the front lines simply can't be withdrawn. The enemy not only bypassed Amegakure and encircled us from both sides, but they've also deployed a large number of weapons at the front. We can't contact Lord Huangtu either; it's impossible to send reinforcements..."

Undoubtedly, the adjutant's words dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Iwa ninja in the underground hideout. Even if they were extremely loyal to their village, it would be a lie to say that they wouldn't harbor resentment after holding a defensive line until they died in battle. It was simply a matter of being brainwashed and restrained by the village.

At least, when Iwagakure was not defeated or occupied by the enemy, the Iwagakure ninjas, who had been instilled with the concept of loyalty from their own village since childhood, had a relatively high degree of loyalty to their village, just like the ninjas of other major ninja villages. Unless they fell under the control of others and acted recklessly, or for other special reasons, the combat power and fighting will of the Iwagakure ninjas were still quite outstanding. However, when these Iwagakure ninjas were completely unprepared for battle and encountered a flanking attack from the Shinobi Alliance, the situation became quite bad.

On the ground, the fortress barrier jutsu set up by Iwagakure to guard the defensive line collapsed in less than a minute. The remaining main body of the fortress had been blasted into a lunar crater by the main cannons of hundreds of chakra tanks. Even the soil and rocks on the ground had turned into a semi-solidified magma state. It seemed that most of the hundreds of Iwagakure ninja stationed in this fortress had been killed or wounded, and now there was no hope left.

Just ten minutes later, the first wave of Shinobi Alliance soldiers stormed into the fortress ruins. After suffering minor casualties, the Shinobi Alliance captured this key fortress, thus encircling the border shinobi army of Iwagakure!

……

"Report! We have captured one-third of the strongholds held by the Iwagakure ninja army, and their rear defense line has been completely occupied. The enemy has retreated to underground fortresses and hideouts!"

"The Second Task Force has outflanked the Konoha Ninja Army's defenses from the rear, successfully capturing their rear hospital and supply depot, killing and capturing over five thousand Konoha ninjas, and is now preparing to cooperate with our frontline ninja forces to annihilate this Konoha Ninja Army!"

"Our casualties exceed two hundred, and our wounded exceed five hundred..."

Three hours after the Iwagakure and Konoha ninja forces were outflanked and subjected to the relentless bombardment of the chakra tanks' main cannons, and were attacked from both sides, Orochimaru, sitting calmly in his command vehicle, began to hear the relevant battle reports compiled by the operations staff.

Without a doubt, the allied forces have declared the war a complete collapse. Orochimaru, who had served as the commander of the Konoha Ninja Army and had a brilliant record, could see that the sudden defection of Amegakure and the defection of people from smaller ninja villages and the Land of Iron had caught the Konoha and Iwa Ninja Army off guard. The allied defense line they had set up had lost its meaning.

After all, the original purpose of the joint defense line was to use the terrain advantages of desert areas to block the ninja army of the Shinobi World Alliance outside the core areas of the two major countries, so as to buy time for the two major ninja villages, the two major countries and a group of subordinates to send troops to reinforce them. For this reason, the allied camp has invested a lot of resources in this joint defense line. For example, the barrier technique of the first line of defense guarded by the Iwa ninja army and the Konoha ninja army is enough to withstand the attack of more than a dozen tailed beast cannons, and the various defensive fortifications are also quite good.

The problem is that Li Mo wasn't foolish enough to directly confront that formidable defensive line. He not only took down the Cloud Village and the Land of Lightning with his first move, but also cleverly exploited the same weakness in the joint defense line. He had Nagato Uzumaki eliminate all the commanders of each side in one fell swoop, and the section of the Rain Village defense line was completely opened up. The Rain Village ninja army, which had captured their former underlings and allies, quickly changed their insignia to the Shinobi World Alliance logo and joined the raiding force.

Even though the actual strength of the Iwagakure and Konoha ninja armies was slightly greater than that of the Shinobi World Alliance's raiding and feinting forces, the two villages' armies were already doomed after being outflanked by the raiding forces and losing their commanders. Moreover, the Shinobi World Alliance had prepared hundreds of chakra tanks, and the massive artillery barrage caused the armies of the two villages to quickly collapse. Now, the combined number of casualties and prisoners has exceeded 10,000.

For Orochimaru, such war scenes were not surprising. In fact, if Li Mo hadn't given the order, and he hadn't been preparing to see how his creations would perform, staying in the laboratory to conduct various experiments would have been far more meaningful than fighting and dying in battle!

"My lord, Lord Nagato has arrived!"

As Orochimaru listened to the staff officer's report, his mind racing as he considered the data from his own experiment, estimated the battle situation, and maintained a certain level of vigilance, a staff officer in formal attire carefully approached him, bowed respectfully, and whispered his report. Orochimaru's vertical pupils narrowed slightly, and he nodded silently, indicating that he was aware of the matter.

As one of the Kage-level powerhouses of the Ninja Alliance, Orochimaru was quite interested in Nagato Uzumaki. However, he couldn't put Nagato on a testbed for research, and since they were colleagues, he had to patiently work with him.

"Master Orochimaru!"

A dozen seconds later, Orochimaru, who had just stepped out of the command vehicle, heard Nagato Uzumaki's very enthusiastic greeting. He looked up and saw Nagato Uzumaki, dressed in a black robe with red clouds, standing not far away with several subordinates, smiling broadly and looking quite pleased with himself.

"Nagato, you've already taken care of things on your end?!"

Seeing Nagato Uzumaki, whose body had become stronger after removing the Rinnegan and shedding its burdens, Orochimaru, who had studied the Rinnegan, looked at him with some admiration. He dismissed his research ideas about Nagato's super-Kage level and praised him with great admiration: "You did a really good job. With the Konoha Ninja Army declared annihilated, the Iwa Ninja Army won't last long either. The outcome of this battle is already decided!"

As one of the former high-ranking members of Konoha, Orochimaru's feelings were also somewhat complicated when he said these words. He already knew that with Nagato Uzumaki's personal intervention and the sudden defection of some of the ninja hidden in the Konoha army, the Konoha army had been completely eliminated by Nagato Uzumaki half an hour ago.

Undoubtedly, the complete annihilation of tens of thousands of Konoha ninjas would be a major event at any time. Based on Orochimaru's own experience, apart from the deaths of the First Hokage Hashirama Senju and the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, there has never been a case in which Konoha lost tens of thousands of ninjas in a single instance. Even if more than half of the Konoha ninjas were captured by Nagato Uzumaki, according to the way ninja villages calculate war losses, the prisoners are included in the village's loss figures.

Konoha Village has the largest population and the greatest potential. It's not like you can just grab someone and train them in chakra refining techniques for a year or two and call them a ninja. At most, they're just cannon fodder for the battlefield, quickly trained by the village. True ninjas are trained and selected over several years. This Konoha ninja army defending the border consists of at least half of the elite troops that Konoha Village has cultivated in recent years, but they were all wiped out by Nagato Uzumaki.

As for the fact that there were still people from Iwagakure resisting, it wasn't because they were stronger than the Konoha Ninja Army. It was simply because Orochimaru himself didn't take action, and even his Kage-level ninjas didn't participate. Otherwise, the Iwagakure Ninja Army wouldn't have been able to withstand such an offensive.

"Lord Orochimaru, it is my honor!"

Upon hearing Orochimaru's praise, Nagato Uzumaki responded solemnly without any politeness. He stood there conspicuously, his red hair resembling flames stained with blood, yet he exuded an aura of resolute determination to change the world.

For Nagato Uzumaki, having witnessed the suffering of the common people in the Land of Rain and other ninja countries, and the tragedy of his friend Yahiko's death, he already had the idea of ​​changing all of this. Moreover, the establishment of the Shinobi World Alliance and the existence of Li Mo prevented him from going down the path of excessive arrogance and godhood. Instead, after removing Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan and with the strong support of the Shinobi World Alliance, he successfully broke through to the level of Kage-level strength.

Of course, the main reason why Nagato Uzumaki would take the initiative to attack the Konoha ninja army was not only because he wanted to take action himself, but also because his parents died at the hands of Konoha ninjas. He was now taking revenge on them and directly wiped out this Konoha border ninja army!

……

When the joint defense line collapsed completely, Amegakure, under the command of Nagato Uzumaki, successfully betrayed those smaller ninja villages and the Land of Iron. Even the Konoha ninja army was wiped out. Needless to say, the remaining Iwa ninja army was also quickly defeated.

After all, Nagato Uzumaki personally took down the Konoha Ninja Army, so Orochimaru naturally couldn't just stand by and watch anymore. When he commanded several Kage-level ninjas to lead the elite troops as the vanguard in the attack, the Iwa Ninja hiding in various strongholds and fortresses were either directly buried underground by earth-style ninjutsu or obediently surrendered. After Orochimaru took serious action, he also announced the complete annihilation of the Iwa Ninja Army.

Konoha and Iwagakure were the first to receive news of the collapse of the joint defense line. Both Jiraiya and Onoki Tenpei were somewhat incredulous. However, when they confirmed the news and learned that Amegakure had betrayed them and launched a direct attack, resulting in the commanders of all the ninja villages on the defense line being eliminated and the joint defense line being bypassed by the enemy for a counter-encirclement, they realized that this was something they could not have foreseen. This had led to a complete collapse of the current battle situation.

Originally, the allied forces consisted of three major countries, three major ninja villages, and a group of subordinates. At first glance, their territory, resources, and population all exceeded those of the Ninja World Alliance. However, the fact that the Land of Lightning and the Hidden Cloud Village were captured by the enemy proved that the allied forces were largely ineffective. Their carefully constructed defensive line was as fragile as a piece of paper, and with the loss of nearly 30,000 troops and a large area of ​​territory, the allied forces were actually on the verge of collapse.

However, Konoha and Iwagakure had not yet faced the worst situation. The Daimyo of the Land of Earth was already on the verge of a mental breakdown because Nagato Uzumaki had led nearly 10,000 ninja soldiers and was about to surround the capital in a large number of chakra chariots!

"Where's that bastard Onoki Tensei? What on earth is he doing?! Wasn't he supposed to be trying to defend against the enemy? How come the enemy has already surrounded the capital?!"

When the Land of Earth's daimyo, having mustered all his courage, stood trembling atop the city wall, gazing at the dust kicked up by the massive chakra chariots and transport vehicles outside the capital, his face turned ashen, and he couldn't help but curse the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure.

It should be said that the old system of one village per country in the ninja world allowed the daimyo of the five great nations to maintain a relatively detached attitude, both using and guarding against their own villages, and even enjoying the ninja war as a kind of epic war movie. However, when the ninja army of the Shinobi Alliance, which disregarded these so-called rules, attacked, and they realized they were facing a real war, the daimyo of the Land of Earth revealed their true colors as incompetent and useless.

Upon hearing the words of the daimyo of the Land of Earth, the personal attendant standing to the side felt somewhat awkward. However, seeing his daimyo's demeanor completely devoid of its usual life-or-death authority, resembling the shouts of a gambler about to lose everything, he couldn't help but whisper:

"Your Highness, the Hidden Stone Village is also surrounded by the enemy!"

Chapter 76 Destruction and Surrender

Upon hearing his personal attendant's words, the daimyo of the Land of Earth collapsed like a punctured balloon, his once imposing figure suddenly shrinking, clearly taken aback by his subordinate's blunt honesty.

Not only was the Daimyo of the Land of Earth's face extremely grim, but even the many nobles of the Land of Earth who were watching the battle with him on the city wall were all trembling with fear. They had never imagined that there would actually be a day when the enemy would be at their gates. Even though they had gritted their teeth and mustered up their armed forces, after witnessing the Shinobi Alliance's army marching down to the capital, none of them had any confidence in victory.

There's no way around it. The daimyo and nobles of the various countries in the ninja world used to live a very carefree life. Except for the Warring States period a few decades ago when wars still needed to be fought, the lords of each castle still armed their own samurai and occasionally hired ninja clans to carry out missions. At that time, the leaders of the ninja world were all those with outstanding abilities (those who weren't outstanding or ruthless were basically doomed). When the era of one ninja village per country came around, the status of the daimyo and nobles improved, and since there was no longer any danger to their lives from ninjas, they naturally became more lax.

After three consecutive Shinobi World Wars, it was all about ninjas from different villages fighting each other, while the daimyo and nobles of various countries became mere spectators. Naturally, one cannot expect them to pick up the military skills that their ancestors had almost forgotten in just a few years. That would be overestimating these daimyo and nobles. They are now no different from parasites and good-for-nothings, and they have no courage to fight against powerful enemies.

The actions of the Daimyo and nobles of the Land of Earth at this time proved this fact. When they saw the Shinobi Alliance's ninja army forces that were already visible outside, their first reaction was to ask Iwagakure to come to their aid, only to realize that the enemy was too busy to take care of themselves!

"The enemy has launched an attack!!!"

Before the daimyo and nobles of the Land of Earth on the city wall could come up with a way to protect their interests as much as possible, they suddenly heard a servant's shrill scream. Looking up, they saw strange-looking chakra chariots firing a kilometer away from the city wall, their target the capital of the Land of Earth.

Before a single breath had passed, hundreds of fiery red "meteors" rained down from the sky, instantly turning the walls of the Land of Earth's capital into a sea of ​​fire. The scorching flames engulfed figures one by one. The Land of Earth's daimyo and his nobles, who were the primary targets, were mostly wiped out by the concentrated fire of the chakra cannons. Those who had skilled guards by their side could only flee in a sorry state; expecting them to hold off the attack was out of the question.

Are you kidding me?! Hundreds of chakra tanks firing is comparable to thousands of elite ninja using combined battlefield ninjutsu. Even Kage-level ninjas have to take its attack power seriously. The Land of Earth's daimyo and his nobles, even with expert guards, are at most at the level of a near-Kage, and there's only one of them. The remaining elite Jonin and a dozen or so regular Jonin barely managed to escape with their men.
