ALL NOVEL Chapter 142
After reading the letter, Terumi Mei's opinion of Haruno changed a lot.
After putting away the letter, Terumi Mei nodded, looked around at the surrounding ninjas, and gave instructions;
"Then let's start executing the plan for the first phase of the operation. Our targets are the front-line checkpoints that we discussed the night before. Regardless of whether we succeed or not, we must complete the retreat within the scheduled time after the attack. Do you understand?"
""Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
Compared to the small fight in the Hidden Mist Village, the scale of the Hidden Cloud Village's deployment was truly a national effort. Including the logistics ninjas, the ranks of more than 10,000 ninjas passed through the forest and streams and gathered together. The first formation, as the vanguard, was just a tentative offensive force, with about 4,000 people led by Samui and Darui.
In view of the fact that it was unlikely to achieve the effect of a surprise attack, their goal was to advance slowly and seek to reunite with the Hidden Mist Village as an ally after entering the territory of the Land of Fire.
By then, the nearly 4,000 Mist Shadow Ninjas led by Mei Terumi, who promised in the letter that the Mizukage would also form a powerful force as the first wave of the attack.
In this way, in terms of numbers, it can be guaranteed that they will not fall behind.
The second formation was led by the two-tailed Jinchuriki of the Hidden Cloud Village, Mu Ren, and the six-tailed Jinchuriki Yugao who had just joined the Hidden Mist Village. The two of them had a full 5,000 ninjas under their command. They followed closely behind the first formation as a reserve assault force.
The distance between the two sides was very close. Avoid possible sneak attacks.
The third formation, or the main formation, includes the initiator of this battle, the Fourth Raikage himself, and his younger brother, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee. The core is a pair of AB combinations. The number of ninjas under their command does not include logistics, and the mobile force has more than 3,000 people, but their strength is the most powerful and is the key to determining the outcome of this war.
And although it is called the main formation, it is not the main force in the traditional sense-that is, the troops that sit in the base camp and cannot be easily mobilized. On the contrary, it is more of a name to confuse the enemy.
Due to the high mobility of their own ninjas, they are not only a fire brigade on the battlefield, but also a mobile team that can pounce on and bite at any time as long as they can find the enemy's flaws.
Those Uchiha clans who have newly joined the Hidden Cloud Village are also in this force led by the Raikage himself.
In an underground base of the Akatsuki organization, Yang No, who used the illusion body technique to participate in the routine meeting, fell into thought after hearing Zetsu report this series of news.
A voice said with a smile;
"Just the seriousness is scary. Judging from the number of people, it is close to the force used in the last war. What's more, there is no yellow flash on the opposite side to resist the AB combination of the Hidden Cloud Village. Now your hometown is doomed."
This sinister laughter sounded, but it was not directed at Uchiha Haruno from Konoha. The person who spoke was Scorpion, and he was referring to Orochimaru who was carrying out some secret mission with him.
According to the limited information learned by Haruno, these two people seemed to be actively active, but they were near the Hidden Sand Village far away from the Hidden Mist Village where she was.
Orochimaru, who was also a phantom transformed by the illusion body technique, did not speak, but just scanned the surroundings with his eyes coldly.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, the leader, the phantom of Tendou Pain, spoke;
"In short, the smoke of this war has been ignited. In this battle, as long as these major villages continue to invest their strength in the Land of Fire and turn it into a battlefield.
Now Konoha is no longer able to shut out the front line, and those neutral countries cannot and will not become a battlefield for the two sides to seesaw, but will be quickly broken through by the ninja villages with the upper hand.
In this way, as long as those ninja villages continue to concentrate the tailed beasts in the Land of Fire, our chances of success will be greater. Don't let the news leak out before the plan to capture the tailed beasts is officially implemented.
It seems that the leader of the Akatsuki organization does not know that the plan to capture the tailed beasts has been"inadvertently" revealed by Yang No, but Yang No's words are one thing, and whether the Raikage believes it or not is another matter.
After all, the other party has not seen the strength of Akatsuki, not to mention that the contact with the Raikage later did not make the girl feel anything unusual. Maybe Yugao did not fully tell the Raikage about the information of the Akatsuki organization.
Otherwise, he would have communicated with me so calmly about so many alliance matters. In short, this routine meeting of the Akatsuki organization ends here.
Before the end, Yang No reported her achievements to the members of the organization as usual.
That is, the Hidden Mist Village has completed its full mobilization, and will soon be able to draw at least more than 7,000 ninjas to join this ninja war.
Compared with the troops used in the original book to fight against 100,000 White Zetsu, this level of ninja mobilization is definitely not a serious injury.
And among these 7,000 people, at least half are more or less against him, and if they can be consumed on the battlefield with Konoha, it will be just what he wants.
The wheel of war is rolling forward, and the released war dog will not stop until it gets the flesh and blood it wants.
Soon, the first wave of troops from the Hidden Cloud Village broke through the border of the Land of Fire, despite the layers of defense of Konoha's ninjas.
There were even some hired ninjas, but all they could do was to use their own blood and the space of the Land of Fire to delay some time.
In a few months, most of the defense lines have been destroyed, and the number of ninjas killed and wounded on the Konoha side has approached four digits.
And because the Hidden Cloud Village has an advantage in terms of troops, and they are not in a hurry to launch an attack, the casualties that Konoha's ninjas can cause are very limited.
Of course, considering Konoha's medical capabilities, many injured ninjas will be able to return to the battlefield soon....
During the war, the border of the Land of Fire was breached, and some villages and towns on the border had already fallen. Among them, the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village also made a fortune.
Of course, this also delayed the advance of the Hidden Cloud Village.
At the same time, the Hidden Mist Village, which had been harassing the border of the Land of Fire, also received an order from the Mizukage, requiring Mei Terumi to take over the army and join the Hidden Mist Village from the Hidden Cloud Village.
The two sides launched an offensive against Konoha together. After receiving this order, Mei Terumi was relieved.
Because the quality of the ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village was uneven, and many of them were simply the original rebels, after entering the territory of the Land of Fire and plundering some wealth, some ninjas simply left the army and returned to their old business, spending the looted wealth in various places.
