Nika's eyes were deep.
Land of Fire, Land of Earth, Land of Wind, Land of Thunder, and Land of Water.
They all had their people, people who had retreated from the East Sea battlefield. They had learned a lot of things on that battlefield.
After the East Sea war ended, the White Zetsu on the Revolutionary Army's side reached an agreement with the Revolutionary Army. Yahiko's idea was simple: he only needed the White Zetsu to hold back the World Government's forces, or rebel against the World Government's order.
Yahiko did not refuse the White Zetsu's request. When necessary, the Revolutionary Army would definitely stand up to support the White Zetsu's independence.
And the Revolutionary Army also needed the White Zetsu chaos to redeploy its forces to various countries.
The main force of the Revolutionary Army was still on the main battlefield but in the ninja world, with the outbreak of the White Zetsu chaos, some countries experienced political instability.
In addition, the war on the Red Earth Continent caused the world nobles to concentrate all their forces on the sea, greatly weakening the political power of some countries.
So, a large number of rebel armies also appeared in the ninja world at this time. These rebel armies used the slogan of attacking the White Zetsu uprising, but what specific things they were doing was unknown.
There are some things that they don't not want to do, but they can't do.
The White Zetsu uprising was too fast, too rapid.
It should be known that the White Zetsu in the ninja world were all arranged by Chiriku. Chiriku's arrangements can be said to be extremely complete, distributing the defense forces of the ninja world to various places. The distribution of the White Zetsu was also extremely reasonable.
In this way, even if something happened in the ninja world, it would not cause chaos in a short time.
It was precisely because Chiriku's arrangements were too perfect that no one suspected him, even Genichi did not suspect Chiriku, because all of Chiriku's arrangements were devoted and responsible. This person can be said to be the top military talent in the ninja world.
But it was precisely because of such perfect arrangements that the various countries could not resist when the White Zetsu uprising broke out.
Konoha...
Kakashi looked at the dilapidated military camp and the large number of wounded soldiers in the camp, and he also had a headache.
The White Zetsu's movements were too fast.
"Yamato, how many losses are there?".
"A total of one hundred and thirty-five people have died, and more than four hundred people have been injured.
There were no civilian casualties, though. The White Zetsu planted a lot of exploding tags in the military camp, and they moved very quickly when breaking through the outer Marine defense line.".
Yamato said.
"Kakashi, what do you think?".
Guy looked at Kakashi. Most of the people in Konoha had left, and the various families had also taken away their main forces, leaving only some property.
There is really no one available in Konoha now. Facing this situation, it is indeed a bit beyond their ability.
But all reforms require a price. The ninja clans have their own things to do, and the ninja villages must take this opportunity to carry out major changes.
"A planned uprising. The other party has been hiding all along. Strengthen the defenses and get the various units ready. The White Zetsu can do simple ninjutsu. Ordinary Marines will have some trouble facing the White Zetsu.".
Kakashi thought for a while. Konoha's elite troops had already been sent out, and the remaining people were really not enough.
The ninja clans all have their own trained Marine forces, and those are the elite.
Ordinary White Zetsu are about the same as Genin while those elite Marines are also about the same as Genin.
This is a very scary statistic. Comparing it like this, the battle between Orochimaru and the Four Great Ninja Villages can be said to have resulted in the death of more than 30,000 Genin, and it is likely that there were also a lot of people with more power than Genin among them.
"By the way, go to Asuma and borrow some people over.
Let's use the Sarutobi clan's Marine forces first and also, let's see what those White Zetsu are planning to do!".
Kakashi said to Guy. Guy nodded and immediately got up and went to the Sarutobi clan's territory.
Asuma did not participate in the affairs between the ninja clans. As the family of the Third Hokage, the Sarutobi clan has already been left alone by everyone. They won't call on the Sarutobi clan for anything.
And Asuma is happy to do so. Although his family can't get any benefits from it, they still get the most basic welfare.
Asuma is already a father now and is even more unwilling to take that kind of risk. Although he is the son of the Third Hokage, he is just average. There is no need to put himself in danger.
When Guy came to borrow people, Asuma agreed without even thinking about it.
On the other side, while Yamato was arranging for other ninjas to lead teams to check whether there were still any dangers in Konoha, a black shadow flashed across the sky.
A huge ink-wash eagle flew down. Sai jumped off the eagle's back. His face was a little abnormal.
"Were you discovered?".
Yamato frowned.
"The White Zetsu didn't discover me. Another person discovered me and stopped me from following them. I had no choice but to give up".
Seeing Sai's face, Yamato obviously realized something. The identity of the person who stopped Sai might be a little different.
"Is it someone we know?".
"…".
"It's the Fourth Hokage".
Sai took out Minato's special kunai.
Soon, this kunai appeared in Konoha's Hokage building. Kakashi took out another special kunai of the same style. The two kunai were placed on the table, and it was impossible to see much difference.
"Is it Edo Tensei?".
"Yes, but the Fourth Hokage at that time was obviously not being controlled by anyone, so he didn't attack me, but stopped me".
Sai said.
"Kakashi, if it's really the Fourth Hokage...".
"I know who did it. To be able to get Vice Admiral's teacher's soul back from the God of Death, it's probably only Orochimaru who is proficient in various forbidden techniques".
Kakashi interrupted Guy's words.
"However, if this is the case, I'm afraid that those who have been Edo Tensei are not only teachers. There will be a big mess in the ninja world next".
"Prepare for battle!".
"But, what about Konoha?".
Yamato, Guy, and Sai looked at Kakashi.
"Konoha will be fine".
Asuma had a cigarette in his mouth. He hadn't smoked for a long time, but he lit one again. He had also changed his casual clothes into Konoha's Jonin vest.
"As long as I'm alive, Konoha will be fine.
This is already one of the few things I can do for Konoha".
"Plus Kurenai, Ibiki, and Megumi Bisu, protecting Konoha is not a problem".
Asuma looked at Kakashi. The people he mentioned were not combat units.
No matter what, Konoha would keep some people in the village. These people must not be touched.
"I'll leave it to you".
Kakashi nodded to Asuma. Then, several people went to prepare.
It was indeed a bit unexpected that Asuma could stand up, but Asuma was indeed trustworthy.
Because he can do nothing. This alone is better than the Third Hokage.
As long as he doesn't do anything, Konoha will not be in chaos.
As for Asuma himself, he stood up not because of the responsibility of a ninja, nor because of love for the village.
He stood up just to atone for his sins. The Sarutobi clan owes Konoha too much. There are too many sins to atone for.
Even if it wasn't a mistake made by Asuma, he... still had to stand up.
His father could be a sinner of Konoha, but the father of his child could not be.
Asuma was a little confused, but he knew that he could no longer continue to be confused.
After the Third Hokage died, Asuma was sad for a while. After the various outrageous things done by the Third Hokage were exposed, Asuma fell directly into self-doubt and confusion.
It was after his child "Sarutobi Mirai" was born that Asuma walked out of his confusion. As a father, he hoped that his child would be proud of him, his father, in the future.
"Don't worry, Konoha, I will protect you".
Asuma took out a Devil Fruit. As the Clan Leader of the Sarutobi clan, he can't even do Ninjutsu. If word gets out, he will probably be laughed at.
However, in order to further increase his power, Asuma didn't mind being laughed at by others.
As the Devil Fruit entered his mouth, Asuma's body rose with bursts of black smoke. At this moment, he had become a user.
On the other side, Kakashi, Yamato, Guy, and Sai also set off with their troops.
Kakashi looked at the kunai in his hand, feeling a little uneasy. He didn't know whether he wanted to see his teacher or not.
Moreover, based on Kakashi's understanding of Orochimaru, it was likely that all the famous and powerful people in the ninja world had been Edo Tensei by Orochimaru, including... Konoha White Fang, his own father.
"Let's go!".
Kakashi also set off with his people. It was a little difficult to catch up with the White Zetsu's main force but Kakashi was not in a hurry. On the way, they still needed to slowly check the situation in the ninja world.
And it must be said that although Kakashi had not yet clearly seen what would happen, he did make the most correct choice in the first place.
His experience on the battlefield allowed him to make the most correct decision in the first place.
At this time, in the Land of Wind, a large number of White Zetsu rebels were wearing cloaks. Huge sand ships were sailing through the sand dunes.
The Second Kazekage "Shamon," who stayed behind to manage Sunagakure Village, was still dealing with various post-war matters and had no time to track down the White Zetsu's whereabouts.
And the Marines of the Land of Wind were also unable to attack the White Zetsu's uprising, they could only protect their own base first.
The same was true for the Land of Earth, the Land of Water, and the Land of Thunder.
Konoha became the first village to send troops.
On the other side, Minato also successfully contacted Nika's rebel army. As for how they contacted each other, it was very simple.
Because Minato came from the Land of Demons, this one condition was enough.
After learning about Nika's marching route, Minato did not stay any longer. He still needed to go to other places in the ninja world to check the situation.
Although he could already see a rough outline, this matter had to be confirmed.
"The Revolutionary Army's arrangements?".
Minato disappeared on the spot. The power of the Revolutionary Army had already intervened, and it looked like things were not simple.
But fortunately, Kabuto's forces had not yet fully emerged, and those forces were originally prepared with the Revolutionary Army and Shanks.
"It seems to be an arrangement by three parties, this war".
Minato thought for a while. Their Edo Tensei was arranged by Shanks, Orochimaru, and the Revolutionary Army.
And now, in the ninja world war, the three forces have all intervened. In that case, there is no need to guess at all anymore.
