Naruto started to become stronger by becoming a disciple of Tsunade

Xi, although still young, is a reliable aide to the Raikage.

"How dare Konoha do this? Do you think I, the Hidden Cloud Village, am a soft persimmon?!" The Third Raikage Ai sat down on the stool.

He stared at the sand table in front of him with a frown.

The Fourth Generation Ai, as well as Killer Bee and others, were all looking at the Third Generation Raikage Ai nervously.

"Why are you looking at me? Go organize the ninja army and fight immediately!" The Third Raikage Ai crossed his hands on his chest.

Yelled at Kirabi and the others.

Following the order of the Third Raikage.

The huge Yunyin camp began to move frantically.

All the Cloud Ninjas were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Start unified action.

Among the five major nations in the ninja world, the combat effectiveness of the Cloud Ninjas can be said to be the strongest in terms of overall quality.

It's not just because the people of the Cloud Ninja are tough.

More importantly, the Hidden Cloud Village is adjacent to the Cloud Thunder Canyon.

The geographical location of the Hidden Cloud Village is poor, and it is mostly rocky.

When the villagers of Yunyin Village are farming, they will inevitably go to Yunlei Canyon to cultivate the land, thus encroaching on the territory of some small animals that originally lived in Yunlei Canyon.

For this reason, the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village would often go to the Yunlei Canyon to clear out the wild animals in the Yunlei Canyon.

Therefore, the combat experience of the Cloud Ninja has always been the richest among the five major countries.

The Cloud Ninja also has a violent and warlike personality.

Before Konoha and Iwagakure set out, the Cloud Ninjas had already set out in a mighty force led by the Third Raikage.

Whoosh whoosh! !

"Sarutobi, how dare that guy!!" On the way, the Third Raikage Aidu still didn't understand why the Third Hokage dared to attack the Cloud Ninja.

"Ai, have you notified the Iwagakure?" The Third Raikage turned his head and looked at the Fourth Ai who was following him and asked.

"Someone has been sent to notify, Lord Raikage!" the Fourth Generation Ai replied immediately.

"Yeah!" The Third Raikage couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard his son's answer.

Suddenly, a ruthless light appeared in his eyes.

Let’s completely defeat Konoha in this battle!

Since Konoha dared to take the first step, it might have something to rely on.

This time, let's let that guy Ohnoki try it out first.

In order to let Iwagakure fight Konoha first, the Third Raikage Ai chose a more hidden route after some research with the Raikage's staff including Xi.

The Third Raikage thought he had already figured out what was going on with Ohnoki, the cunning old man, and a smile appeared on his face.

The main force's advance was somewhat slow.

In order to take care of the team's moving speed, the Third Raikage Ai, Killer Bee, the Fourth Raikage Ai and others could not increase their speed.

Just when the Third Raikage Ai was worried about the team's marching speed.

The Cloud Ninja scouts have returned.

And it also brought news that surprised the Third Raikage.

"Lord Raikage, we have discovered traces of a large number of Konoha ninjas in the forest ahead!!" The Cloud Ninja scout, after discovering something was wrong, immediately reported to the Third Raikage Ai.

"What's going on?" Upon hearing the news from the Cloud Ninja scout, the Third Raikage was instantly stunned.

You have to know that the route of this advance was not clear even to themselves until the main force of the Cloud Ninjas set off.

Could it be that there is a spy from Konoha among his staff? ?

This conjecture instantly made the Third Raikage Ai no longer trust his own Raikage staff.

"How many Konoha ninjas are there ahead? Who is leading the team?" the Third Raikage Ai asked immediately.

"Reporting to the Raikage, according to our observations, the leader of the Konoha ninja in front is Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas!! There are probably several thousand of them!!" the scout replied immediately.

"Hiss, thousands of people." The Third Raikage Ai immediately fell into deep thought.

These several thousand people would definitely not be a match for the 20,000 Cloud Ninjas he led, but once the battle started, several thousand people could not be annihilated by the Cloud Ninjas in a short time.

In addition, the ninja leading the team is Orochimaru, a commander with rich combat experience.

When Orochimaru was on the Kumogakure front, he taught the Third Raikage Ai a severe lesson, making him understand that sometimes the brain is more useful than brute force.

"Notify everyone to change the route!!" After briefly weighing the pros and cons, the Third Raikage finally gave the order to change the route.

Following the order from the Third Raikage, the densely packed Cloud Ninja army began to change their routes.

And the Third Raikage Ai left a troop of nearly a thousand people here to guard against a sudden attack by Orochimaru.

After changing the route again, the Cloud Ninja's route became noticeably longer.

And the new route of the Cloud Ninja needs to pass through a canyon.

Just as the Cloud Ninja revised its route forward.

Orochimaru, who was originally leading the ninja army to ambush in the forest, also received the news.

Ziliu! !

A long tongue slid across the lips.

"Did that Third Raikage guy take a detour?" Orochimaru couldn't help but mutter to himself as he looked at the exquisite sand table formed by earth escape in front of him.

At this time, Orochimaru had already met Might Guy and Genma Shiranui, and he did not take the fact that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist had captured Nohara Rin to heart.

After all, as a commander of thousands of psychics, the disappearance of a mere Chunin is all too common.

Although Nohara Rin was a student of Minato Namikaze, Orochimaru had met Nohara Rin before.

He is just a Konoha ninja with mediocre talent.

If Nohara Rin was not a disciple of Minato Namikaze, Orochimaru probably wouldn't even bother to look at her a second time.

Only after hearing the information that Might Guy opened the Eight Gates and kicked three members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to death, did Orochimaru's eyes light up.

After a brief inspection, Orochimaru came to the same conclusion as Okamoto Dousuke.

Might Guy's body simply couldn't withstand the enormous force brought about by the arrangement and opening of the Eight Gates.

That's when the body was destroyed.

He then learned from Might Guy how to practice the Eight Gates Ninjutsu, but after only learning about it briefly, Orochimaru gave up this powerful forbidden physical technique.

Not to mention the almost harsh training method, even the physical condition required is very different from Orochimaru's training method.

Orochimaru also gave up the Eight Gates.

During this period of ambush, Orochimaru has led the ninja army to transform the forest.

If the Third Raikage Ai rashly led the Cloud Ninjas to charge in, he would definitely be caught in the traps and ambushes set by Orochimaru.

On the other side, Konoha and Iwagakure, who received the news from the Cloud Ninja, also began to dispatch ninja troops.

In the end, the three parties met at the Tagawa Gorge in the Land of Fields.
