Rebuild the Land of Whirlpools, start with a massive army of the Thirteen Guardian Soldiers.

...Lady Tsunade, whose side are you on?

Orochimaru paused for a moment, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Tsunade.

As expected of Tsunade, she easily accomplished what others could not.

Just then, the golden gate finally opened completely, and the Flying Thunder God Chains could no longer hold.

With a bang, it turned into golden powder and disappeared into the air.

The ninjas of the barrier team seemed to have been hit hard, and they were all sent flying backward!

However, at this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others had no time to pay attention to the situation of the barrier team ninjas, and were staring intently at the giant golden gate!

Hidden underground in the Forest of Death in Konoha.

Danzo Shimura's somber voice rang out.

"The Land of Whirlpools, they've finally entered..."

"Hmph, what so-called barrier? It's utterly useless. Sarutobi, you're still too naive!"

One of the Root members knelt on the ground and asked, "Lord Danzo, won't the Roots make a move?"

Danzo Shimura glanced at him and said coldly, "Even if one more Root is added, Konoha will not reverse the situation; even if one less Root is removed, Konoha will not suffer any loss!"

"Let's just wait and see."

"Yes!"

Danzo Shimura narrowed his eyes slightly.

With Mito Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, around, Danzo Shimura had no worries about the situation in Konoha.

Instead, he intends to use the power of the Land of Whirlpools to weaken Sarutobi's forces.

Only then will he be able to take the position of Hokage. Further steps!

At the Senju headquarters, Kushina Uzumaki, who was learning sealing techniques from Mito Uzumaki, heard the voice from Konoha and asked curiously, "Grandma Mito, what happened outside?"

A complex expression flashed across Mito Uzumaki's face, but she quickly regained her composure and said kindly, "It's alright, Kushina can just focus on her training."

Kushina Uzumaki obediently nodded and continued to study sealing techniques.

Mito Uzumaki stared at Kushina's retreating figure and sighed deeply.

Who would have thought that they had stood together with the Senju clan through thick and thin, even until the Senju clan established Konoha?

Will the Land of Whirlpools, which once stood shoulder to shoulder with Konoha, become the enemy it is today?

This world is truly unpredictable...

"only hope……"

"The Land of Whirlpools, aren't you going too far...?"

Konoha East Street.

Amidst the intense attention, a petite figure appeared first.

It was Rukia Kuchiki, who had been serving as Chihiro Uzumaki's secretary and bodyguard.

Now that Rukia Kuchiki's strength has reached the captain level, Chihiro Uzumaki generously gave birth to her as the captain of the 13th Division.

Having gained the strength to travel with the captain, and because of her special status as the Spirit King's secretary, she represents the Spirit King's will.

Therefore, Rukia Kuchiki successfully took over as the leader of this Konoha mission.

When Rukia Kuchiki appeared, the other captains also appeared behind her.

With his narrowed eyes and a snake-like smile, Gin Ichimaru gave off a suffocating feeling, as if a snake were coiling around his neck.

Soi Fon, with her nonchalant attitude, sent a chill down the spine of every person she swept her gaze over.

The cold, ruthless, and noble Kuchiki Byakuya exudes a chilling aura that makes anyone who meets his gaze feel as if they've fallen into an ice cave.

And the burly man standing at the very end, a full three meters tall, wearing a mask, gave people a great sense of oppression!

After the four captains appeared, the vice-captains followed, and then the densely packed Death Legion inside the interdimensional gate.

A chilling atmosphere instantly enveloped Konoha!

Only then did the villagers of Kumogakure realize that something was amiss.

The Hokage and the other ninjas' serious demeanor made their hearts sink.

Having lived a peaceful life for so long, they finally realized what was happening.

It seems that Konoha has been invaded!?

spare

What kind of enemy has the audacity to invade Konoha, the number one ninja village in the ninja world?!

Don't you want to live anymore?!

Living under the glory of being the number one ninja in Konoha 3.3, they did not see this as a crisis for Konoha. Instead, they wondered if this force had lost its mind.

But they didn't notice at all that their Hokage had a solemn expression on his face!

They also failed to consider that this was no longer the era of the First and Second Hokage.

"The Land of Whirlpools..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared intently at the group of Shinigami, muttering to himself.

Having only learned about the situation in the Land of Whirlpools from intelligence reports and other people's words, he finally met the Grim Reapers of the Land of Whirlpools.

With just one glance, he could feel the powerful aura emanating from him!

Of course, Konoha is no pushover either!

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and looked around at the Konoha members.

Apart from Danzo, who still hasn't shown up.

Behind him were Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and the clan leaders and members of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans.

In addition, there are his two outstanding disciples!

Uh……

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly recalled the joyful and rebellious look on his face after the Land of Whirlpools broke through Konoha's seal.

His lips twitched. He hesitated for a moment.

When it comes to matters of principle, Tsunade shouldn't act impulsively, right?

Of course, even without Tsunade as a fighting force, Konoha still has Lady Mito to fall back on!

Besides Mito's formidable strength, the title of the strongest tailed beast, Nine-Tails, is not just for show!

In short, the advantage lies with Konoha!

Of course, this was only Hiruzen Sarutobi's worst-case scenario.

To find out the truth, we still need to negotiate with the representatives of the Land of Whirlpools first.

If war can be avoided as much as possible, it is best to avoid it altogether.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, having gathered his remaining good intentions, forced a fake smile onto his wrinkled face and said, "It is truly an honor to have the esteemed guests of the Land of Whirlpools grace Konoha with their presence!"

Rukia Kuchiki glanced at the crooked and haphazardly arranged barrier-bound ninjas, as if to say: Is this how you welcome them?

Hiruzen Sarutobi's old face immediately froze.

Chapter 57 The three-day period has ended. Welcome Kushina Uzumaki back to the country!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face stiffened for a moment, but his thick skin allowed him to quickly regain his composure and continue to maintain his chrysanthemum-like smile.

Meanwhile, the villagers of Konoha were somewhat bewildered when they heard the Third Hokage's words.

The Land of Whirlpools? Isn't that Konoha's long-time ally?

Although the villagers understood the situation in the ninja world, they were unaware of some of the inside stories.

Especially regarding the sordid affairs of Konoha, the Konoha leadership would never allow them to know.

Otherwise, wouldn't Konoha's glorious image be shattered?

Therefore, the villagers of Konoha were unaware that Konoha had betrayed them, taken advantage of their misfortune, stolen the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, and even intended to make the Uzumaki clan members the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki.

Therefore, when the Third Hokage said that, they genuinely believed that the Land of Whirlpools had come as guests.

only……

Isn't this way of visiting a bit too sudden?

Furthermore, what happened to the ninjas who were just sent flying backwards?

Since the people of the Land of Whirlpools are guests, why are the ninjas evacuating them?

Also, why do all these ninjas look so serious?

But soon, they understood why these Konoha ninjas were acting this way.

Rukia Kuchiki glanced around at the Konoha members, finally fixing her gaze on Hiruzen Sarutobi.
