I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

"Leader, isn't sealing four tailed beasts at once a bit too hasty?"

"That's right, it takes five days and five nights for a tailed beast to survive, but my chakra can't last for twenty days and twenty nights."

Moreover, with such a large mobilization, the five great ninja villages must have already heard about it. It is said that the Five Kage Summit was held in the Land of Iron, and the topic was very likely to be how to deal with us.

.

"During this time, the five great ninja villages might unite and search the world for our whereabouts, and then join forces to annihilate us."

In the dark space, the seven thought entities are having a conversation.

Due to the special circumstances, Nagato did not immediately begin sealing the tailed beasts, but instead convened a meeting with all members.

After listening to Deidara and the others' conversation, Pain's mental form suddenly looked at Zetsu and asked, "Zetsu, how is the situation now?"

"The Five Kage Summit has ended. The White Zetsu clone has successfully infiltrated the Land of Iron. The Hokage and Mizukage are no longer here, and the other three Kage have begun their return journey," White Zetsu replied. "According to the intelligence gathered by the White Zetsu clone, the five great ninja villages and the Land of Iron have decided to unite, just like the multi-nation attack on Uzushiogakure in the Land of Whirlpools decades ago, to surround the Land of Rain and find and annihilate our Akatsuki organization."

"The five great ninja villages have joined forces? Heh, this is the first time I've seen this." Kisame Hoshigaki chuckled, slightly surprised.

"They call it an alliance, but it's really just about getting the leader's Rinnegan," Black Zetsu said in a hoarse voice. "They haven't even made a decision to unify their headbands and uniforms; they're destined to be just a bunch of loose sand."

"Indeed, among the five great ninja villages, only Onoki, who has mastered the Kekkei Tota: Dust Release, and the Wood Release ninjas of Konoha are worth paying attention to."

"That's not entirely true. The five great ninja villages are, after all, the five overlords of the ninja world. If they were to mobilize all their active ninjas, the number would be at least 50,000. Even we might be worn down and killed by their sheer numbers."

"Chief, shall we fight?"

All eyes were focused on Pain's mental form.

Before Pain could speak, Hundred Faces suddenly laughed and said, "If we're going to fight, I can use the Impure World Reincarnation Technique to provide at least a three-digit army of the dead, who possess immortality and unlimited chakra."

Upon hearing this, Nagato's heart stirred slightly, but she still did not make a decision.

The fact that Nagato hasn't made a decision yet suggests that he's more inclined not to fight.

After all, the members of the Akatsuki organization all need to seal the tailed beasts. To completely seal the Four-Tails and the Seven-Tails, it would take at least half a month.

Even if the Hundred Faces could resurrect a three-digit army of the dead using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, it would be impossible for them to hold off the five great ninja villages for twenty days.

Furthermore, sealing a tailed beast cannot last for twenty days and twenty nights in one go.

Although his chakra could last that long, the youngest Deidara and Konan simply couldn't maintain it for that long.

Therefore, sealing the four tailed beasts would take at least twenty days, and in some cases, nearly a month.

Amegakure simply doesn't have the strength to fight the five great ninja villages for a month. Even the Hundred Faces Corps of the Dead, with their immortality and unlimited chakra, couldn't possibly last that long.

After all, Nagato was aware of the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Despite its strength, its weaknesses are also very obvious.

Once the immortal body is destroyed by the enemy, it takes a certain amount of time to repair, and this period of time is the fatal weakness of the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

If the enemy has mastered sealing techniques, you can use this pre-cast animation to seal them.

The four ninja villages that plundered the Land of Whirlpools, as well as the wives of the First and Fourth Hokage, were all from Konoha and belonged to the Uzumaki clan. They all possessed the ability to counter the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Therefore, Amegakure, which cannot field Akatsuki members, is destined to lose in a full-scale war against the five great ninja villages.

That's why Nagato had Konan evacuate the villagers, and even had the Amegakure ninjas remove their headbands and disguise themselves as civilians to leave Amegakure.

He didn't want to start a full-scale war with the five great ninja villages; instead, he wanted to play hide-and-seek with them.

After sealing away the four to seven tailed tails, they will launch a counterattack and capture the final eight and nine tailed tails.

Nagato, who had already sealed away three tailed beasts, vaguely sensed the true power of the Gedo Mazo.

If a few more tailed beasts are sealed, the Gedo Mazo can be revived in its initial stage.

If the Gedo Mazo is revived, it will be a strategic weapon even more powerful than the strongest tailed beast.

With his Rinnegan, Nagato was fully confident in realizing his dream: to make the five great ninja villages feel pain, to use humanity's fear of this pain to suppress war, to completely end the conflict between large and small countries, and to usher in a true era of peace.

As if sensing Nagato's reluctance to fight, Black Zetsu also spoke up, "If we do fight, we can provide 100,000 White Zetsu as troops."

"What?!"

"Ten—ten thousand White Zetsu?!"

Apart from Hyakko, everyone, including Nagato and Obito Uchiha, was stunned by Black Zetsu's words.

Clearly, at this time, Obito Uchiha was unaware of the existence of the 100,000 White Zetsu.

"White Zetsu, you can actually create 100,000 special clones?" Deidara exclaimed incredulously. "What kind of monster are you?"

"Hehe, I already have a lot of clones, but 100,000 is just my limit." White Zetsu immediately cooperated with Black Zetsu, and said with a grin.

"Zetsu, are you serious?" Pain asked, equally incredulous.

"real."

Black and White Absolute's thought form nodded, its tone full of affirmation.

"One hundred thousand White Zetsu, just like your usual White Zetsu clones?" Pain asked again.

"They're all the same."

Black and White Zetsu nodded again, and White Zetsu laughed and said, "Whatever abilities I have, White Zetsu clones will have the same abilities, and all 100,000 White Zetsu can share information with me at any time."

"Incredible! Such a clone technique actually exists in this world!"

Even Kisame Hoshigaki could no longer remain calm, sighing slightly, "Even a Wood Release Wood Clone is probably no better than this!"

"This is simply the strongest clone technique in the ninja world." Deidara nodded in agreement, giving his highest praise: "In terms of clones, I admit that Zetsu is the pinnacle of art."

"whee·--"

White Zetsu gave a unique smile, his expression as playful as ever, it was hard to tell whether he was enjoying the praise or mocking the ignorance of these people.

After all, as the most outstanding "original body" among the 100,000 White Zetsu, White Zetsu is second only to Black Zetsu, who pulled him out of the Gedo Mazo, and is the one who knows the truth of the world and countless secrets.

The 100,000 White Zetsu are not clones at all; they are just like me, products of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, former humans.

Once the Infinite Tsukuyomi descends again, these guys, if they don't die, will eventually become like him!

"In that case, let's begin!"

Nagato, of course, knew nothing of this.

Upon hearing that White Zetsu could split into 100,000 identical special clones, he immediately changed his original idea of ​​hiding and playing hide-and-seek with the Five Great Ninja Villages, and instead chose to confront them head-on.

Even if the 100,000 White Zetsu are weak, their low-end combat power is still more astonishing than the combined active ninjas of the five great ninja villages.

In addition, the three-digit army of the dead resurrected by the Hundred Faces Impure World Reincarnation also made up for the lack of mid-level combat power.

Moreover, the Hundred Faces could also resurrect the First Hokage, Miyazaki, through the Reanimation Jutsu. Even if Hashirama Senju's strength was not at its peak, he was still a high-end combatant at the level of the Five Kage.

If Bai Zhao has other mediums from the previous Five Kage, his high-end combat power might even exceed that of the Akatsuki.

In this way, even if the seven members of Akatsuki cannot participate, they are still capable of fighting against the five great ninja villages.

Even if we ultimately fail to defeat the five great ninja villages, giving them a month to buy us time should be a piece of cake.

In this way, there's no need to hide, worrying that the seal won't be complete before Yagyu and the others find it, forcing them to stop the seal, or even risk having the Jinchuriki taken back.

Perhaps in just over twenty days, they will be able to completely seal the four-tailed to seven-tailed beasts.

Having made the decision, Pain immediately said to Kisame and the others, "Come to Amegakure immediately and begin the sealing."

After saying that, Pain then said to Obito Uchiha's mental form, "Tobi, go and pick up Kisame and the others."

"I see."

Obito Uchiha nodded, and the thought form was the first to disappear.

The appearance of 100,000 White Zetsu also gave Obito Uchiha a pleasant surprise.

With such a force, sealing the Four-Tails and the Seven-Tails is a sure thing.

Once these four tailed beasts are successfully sealed, only the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails will remain, and then the Eye of the Moon Plan can begin.

With this in mind, Obito Uchiha, who also had his own little schemes, used Kamui to pick up Kisame Hoshigaki and the others while making preparations in advance.

In less than half a day, Obito Uchiha brought Kisame Hoshigaki and the others to Amegakure.

Then Nagato took them all to an underground base that contained a large amount of supplies, summoned the Gedo Mazo, and began to cast a barrier.

Xiao Nan also placed hundreds of millions of explosive tags outside the barrier.

At this time, Amegakure had become an empty village, and Nagato had taken away all the valuables from the villagers and ninjas.

He had already prepared for the disappearance of Amegakure, and Konan naturally had no reservations either.

Once everything was arranged, except for Nagato who did not appear in his true form, all seven members of Akatsuki unusually appeared in their true forms, standing on the fingers of the Gedo Mazo, forming hand seals, and shouting: "Sealing Technique: Illusionary Nine Dragons Sealing Technique!"

As seven chakra dragons flew out, they engulfed the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Roshi, who was lying on the ground, and the Akatsuki began a long-lasting seal.

At the same time, the ninja world was gradually enveloped by an atmosphere of impending storm.

Every small country and village on the Ninja Continent quickly realized that something was amiss.

Konoha began recalling ninjas who were stationed at the border and guarding various cities.

Apart from the twelve guardian ninjas belonging to the daimyo, all ninjas received the highest order to put down their work and rush back to Konoha.

Such a large-scale evacuation was quickly learned by any forces that had left spies in the Land of Fire.

Just as they were speculating whether Miyo was about to make some big moves.

The following day, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure also issued a top order to recall all active-duty ninjas who were away from the area.

The smaller countries that received this news panicked.

The smaller countries, especially those sandwiched between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, and between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth, felt immense fear.

Does this mean that another Ninja World War is about to break out?

Soon, these small countries were horrified to discover that the Iron Kingdom, which had maintained neutrality during the Warring States period, had surprisingly broken its neutrality this time and chosen to participate.

Thinking about this, they panicked even more.

The Shinobi World War, which was launched by the four great nations and the Land of Iron, which was second only to the five great nations, was so massive that perhaps only the First Shinobi World War could compare to it.

Unbeknownst to them, the Land of Water had also dispatched a large number of sailboats, heading towards the Ninja Continent.

Realizing that the Fourth Shinobi World War was imminent, the small countries that were still at war tacitly stopped fighting and began to evacuate or abandon the cities and people that were most likely to become war zones.

Just like Amegakure in the past, as a neighboring country sandwiched between two great powers, it is just that unlucky.

Once two major powers go to war, the territories of these smaller countries become the battlefield, and the cities near the battlefield become the supply depots of the major powers.

Three days later, all the ninjas from the four major ninja villages who were away returned to their respective villages.

The ninja forces of Kirigakure have already landed on the ninja continent.

The names of the five great nations have also moved to safe havens.

The samurai forces of the Land of Iron are fully prepared for battle.

"All units, proceed in order!"

On the fourth day, the Five Kage and Mifune, who were communicating remotely via chakra television, issued orders. In an instant, the troops led by various elite Jonin, such as the sensory unit, combat unit, communications unit, and logistics unit, instantly transformed into a dark mass of afterimages and headed towards the Land of Rain.

Six streams of black energy, representing the six strongest forces in the ninja world, converged on the Land of Rain from different directions.

Although each faction only mobilized a little over ten thousand ninjas.

However, the combined strength of these ninjas is enough to easily destroy a small ninja village in less than a moment.

Therefore, wherever they went, the small countries trembled in fear, lest they be plundered by these big thugs.

In just one day, the Sensing Force, which was responsible for gathering intelligence ahead of the enemy, arrived in the Land of Rain.

"Watch out, everyone! There's something underground!"

Upon entering the Land of Rain, some ninjas with exceptional senses immediately noticed something amiss. In their perception, there were astonishingly large fluctuations underground, and the other party made no attempt to conceal their intentions.

"retreat!"

The Sensing Force, whose combat strength was inferior to that of the Sensing Force, chose to return the way they came without hesitation.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh··—·

However, before they could retreat and report to the troops behind them, a large number of identical white creatures appeared.

They sprang up from the ground and pounced on them like mad dogs.

The battle immediately broke out on the border of the Land of Rain, announcing the start of the Fourth Shinobi World War!
