Under the Fourth Raikage's order, he took the lead in using the Body Flicker Technique and began to rush out of the village.
Tap tap tap!
Tap tap tap!
The three thousand ninja troops behind him followed closely, and just like that, they began to approach Konoha with an imposing manner.
In the case that the Third Shinobi World War had been fought for several years in a row, and the major ninja villages had suffered heavy losses, the scale of the three thousand-person ninja troop was quite large.
As soon as this formation was dispatched, it was immediately noticed by all the major ninja villages.
"Lord Kazekage, the Fourth Raikage has led the ninja troops and set off for Konoha!"
"Lord Mizukage, the ninja troops of Cloud Village have begun to attack!"
"Lord Tsuchikage, the war between Cloud Village and Konoha has officially begun!"
Almost all the Kage other than Konoha and Cloud Village received the news in the first instant.
All the Kage had solemn faces.
It was no exaggeration to say that the war launched by Cloud Village against Konoha was a war that was enough to change the current ninja world pattern, and no one dared to ignore it.
So without much hesitation, the Kage of the other three major ninja villages quickly rushed to Konoha with a few guards.
Not only these three major ninja villages, but even many other small countries, such as Takigakure, Amegakure, Kusagakure, and so on, were also closely watching this great war.
It was not an exaggeration to describe it as the focus of the ninja world.
Just like that, under the gaze of the entire ninja world, the Fourth Raikage led three thousand Cloud Village ninja troops, and just drove straight in, approaching Konoha little by little.
And one piece of information after another about the Cloud Village troops was also continuously transmitted to the Konoha command center.
"Lord Suzaku, the Cloud Village troops are about thirty kilometers away from entering our Konoha border!"
An Anbu ninja knelt on one knee on the ground, reporting to Suzaku Nara with a very serious face.
"I know, you can go down first. Report once every five kilometers that the Cloud Village troops advance. If there are any other situations, report immediately."
Suzaku Nara waved his hand and sent the Anbu ninja away.
"Suzaku, Cloud Village is about to attack. I'll go and invite Lord Kouki over." Hizashi Hyuga stood up at this time to make a suggestion.
"Go ahead, it's time for Lord Kouki to come and take charge." Suzaku Nara nodded.
They had actually invited Kouki to come and take charge of the command a long time ago, but Kouki was not interested in this kind of thing at all, and gave all the command to Suzaku Nara and the high-level officials.
He just became a hands-off shopkeeper.
But now that Cloud Village was about to attack Konoha, it would be a bit unreasonable for Kouki, as the Hokage, not to appear.
Kouki also understood this, so this time he didn't make any excuses, and directly followed Hizashi Hyuga into the command center.
He sat in the main seat in a grand manner.
"Lord Kouki!"
After waiting for Kouki to sit down, Suzaku Nara immediately came over to report the current situation.
"Konoha has assembled a total of two thousand five hundred troops, and has built a military defense line on the border."
"They can be put into battle at any time!"
"The Cloud Village ninja troops are now thirty kilometers away from stepping into the Konoha border!"
"Lord Kouki, what should we do now?"
"Isn't there still thirty kilometers? Don't worry." Kouki waved his hand dismissively, "Don't do anything, just wait for them to come."
Suzaku Nara and others couldn't help but get a little anxious. Obviously, they didn't agree with Kouki's opinion.
It stood to reason that they should take the initiative to meet the enemy at this time. There was no reason to put the battlefield in Konoha.
In this way, not only would it cause great damage to Konoha, but more importantly, if the ninja troops were defeated, Konoha would really be finished.
There would be no room for maneuver.
After all, there was no buffer zone, and people could drive straight in and directly occupy Konoha.
However, the suggestion made by Suzaku Nara and others to snipe the Cloud Village troops in advance in Amegakure was rejected by Kouki without mercy.
In Kouki's words, this battle was Konoha's business, and there was no need to bring harm to other villages because of it.
Kouki didn't care about a mere three thousand ninja troops.
"Lord Kouki, putting the battlefield in Konoha, I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate!" After pondering for a moment, Ibiki Morino couldn't help but stand up again to persuade him.
"We must take the initiative to meet the enemy at this moment, and be sure to stop the Cloud Village ninja troops outside Konoha's territory!"
"Even if we are defeated, we still have room to make other arrangements."
"No need." Kouki still waved his hand without hesitation, and refused mercilessly, "I know what you are worried about, but I can tell you with certainty that your worries don't exist."
"Since I insist on putting the battlefield in Konoha, then I will be responsible for my choice!"
"The Cloud Village ninjas will not cause any damage to Konoha, because they will be killed by me before that!"
"With me in charge, there is no possibility of Konoha being defeated!"
Kouki's voice sounded so confident, as if the three thousand Cloud Village troops were just paper tigers that were neither good-looking nor useful.
"But Lord Kouki..."
"Ibiki! Don't say anything! We just need to follow Lord Kouki's orders!"
Suzaku Nara shook his head at Ibiki Morino. It would be a very terrible thing if the generals on the battlefield couldn't work together.
Now Kouki's attitude was very clear. The other party was determined to put the battlefield in Konoha, and it was useless to persuade him any further.
They could only obey.
After all, although Kouki had only just taken office as the acting Hokage, his own strength was so strong that it had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and had intimidated everyone.
It was a typical case of a strong commander and weak generals. One person could steadily suppress all the leadership, and everyone had no other choice but to obey.
Even if they thought Kouki's order was unreasonable.
Moreover, the Fourth Raikage and Killer B, who were abnormally terrifying in strength, were still counting on Kouki to deal with them.
