Konoha's Destiny Twins

June 1, Konoha 48, the Country of Waves.

At the end of May of the same year, Kumogakure dispatched dozens of ships from the Kingdom of Thunder and arrived at the Country of Waves after a week's long journey.

These ships carry a large amount of strategic materials as well as a full 1,500 Kirigakure ninjas and a large number of boatmen.

The original plan was for Kumogakure to rest in the Country of Waves for more than a week, then break the large army into pieces, break it up into a dozen troops to sneak into the Country of Fire, and finally launch a blitzkrieg against Konoha.

However, it had only been six days, and Yunyin couldn't hold it any longer.

At this time, in the Kumogakure camp, plans were being made for the next phase of operations.

"What's wrong, Ai?" Toshiro asked curiously when he saw that the Yondaime Raikage seemed a little uneasy.

Toshiro was the commander of Kumogakure during the Third Ninja War. He was also an elite jonin of Kumogakure and had extremely rich experience. This time he served as the commander of this operation.

"The Yondaime Raikage-sama didn't sleep well last night, so it affected today's state a bit." The speaker was a dark-skinned white-haired girl ninja, her name is Mabuyi, she was recently promoted to Jonin and was promoted at the same time The fourth generation Raikage's secretary.

"I told you earlier that after landing in the Kingdom of Waves, you should go directly to the Kingdom of Fire. You must take some rest and recuperation." Kirabi, wearing a pair of black sunglasses, crossed his legs and said leisurely, "Okay now, here. After waiting for almost a week, Ai Du waited for a heart attack."

Toshiro did not agree with Kirabi's remarks, so he reprimanded: "You have also seen how many of your companions are seasick and unwell. Even the members of the Trojan team only fully recovered yesterday. If If you enter the Land of Fire rashly in such a state, who will be responsible if something goes wrong in your plan?"

"What's more, this time we want to catch Konoha Village off guard. Our top priority now is not only to take a break, but also to try our best to hide. If Konoha discovers that we have arrived to the east of the Fire Country, this battle will How else to fight?”

"But if the Konoha army appears on the west side of the Wave Country Bridge now, wouldn't we be doomed too." Kirabi whispered.

Toshiro wanted to continue to refute, but Kirabi was the first to raise his hands and surrender: "Okay, okay, you have the final say. I am still the same, I will do whatever you tell me."

In fact, everyone present knew that if Kumogakure wanted to raid Konoha Village, he would naturally need to be as concealed as possible; but concealment also meant certain risks.

If Konoha had discovered them and destroyed the bridge at this time, then they would have no chance of entering the Land of Fire. This blitz would be in vain, and the plan to rescue the Two-Tailed Jinchuuriki would become a luxury.

Because the Wave Country Bridge is Kumogakure's biggest weakness in this operation.

This was also the source of the Yondaime Raikage's uneasiness. They sailed across the ocean to the Country of Waves, and their supplies relied entirely on the Country of Thunder. However, this poor country had only one land route to the outside world. Bridge.

Therefore, you can't have your cake and eat it too. All Yunyin can do now is to send some elite teams to perform reconnaissance missions to the west of the bridge.

After a long silence, the Yondaime Raikage spoke: "Last night I sent the Trojan team to sneak into the Land of Fire to perform a reconnaissance mission."

Everyone present seemed relieved when they heard that the Trojan team had been dispatched.

"If it were them, they could indeed complete this investigation mission excellently."

The Trojan team has gathered four elite ninjas from Kumogakure, and their reconnaissance capabilities are among the best in Kumogakure. If there is a large-scale military mobilization in Konoha, it will definitely not be hidden from their eyes. As long as they report it in time, then Kumogakure's large army It can also cross the bridge safely, forming a strong threat to Konoha.

Even with their strength, they were able to clear out the small number of Konoha ninjas operating in this area, thereby reducing the possibility of their exposure.

Toshiro continued to explain: "And the Namino Country Bridge is very strong. Extreme natural disasters were considered when it was originally designed, so even if a large number of ninjas are able to destroy it for a while, we will have enough time to go to the rescue. "

Mabuyi finally added: "If you are still worried, we can send an advance team now. I have also received requests from many people here, hoping to join the first echelon to attack Konoha."

"Oh?!" The Fourth Raikage raised an eyebrow, "It seems that everyone's morale is very high in this operation."

"Yes, after all, everyone is holding in their anger." Mabuyi said with a smile, "Everyone says that Kumogakure is the real number one ninja village."

In fact, among the five major ninja villages, although Konoha has the largest population, its military and economy cannot stabilize Kumogakure. It is just that Konoha does have a very brilliant record and a group of powerful top combat forces. Let him take the position of chief of the five great ninja villages.

However, many of the new generation of Kumogakure ninjas are not convinced by Konoha's title of "The Strongest Ninja Village". They are belligerent and powerful, and they are united in their desire to remove Konoha from the throne of the "Strongest Ninja Village" with their own hands. Pull up and down.

The Troy team is a typical example. Its leader Troy is only twenty years old, but he is already an elite jounin of Kumogakure. The remaining members of the team are even younger, and they were all promoted to special jounin or even jounin last year or this year. The talented ninjas of Kumogakure are so arrogant that they simply do not agree with the concept that "Konoha is stronger than Kumogakure".

"It was definitely not the case before." The Yondaime Raikage's fists clenched instantly, "But after this battle, it will definitely be."

For the Fourth Raikage, it was not only to recapture the second-tailed Jinchuuriki, but also to avenge his father's murder.

As if sensing the Yondaime Raikage's decision, Kirabi also said in a rare serious tone: "Don't worry, whether it's 'Yellow Flash' or 'Shunshin Clear Water', haven't we already deduced it many times? They will definitely Definitely lose."

"What's the use of fast light?" Kirabi sneered.

"That's enough Kirabi, don't underestimate the enemy." The fourth generation Raikage finally said, "Since we have been waiting for so many days, there is no need to miss the last day. According to the original plan, the supply force will start preparing now, the first brigade The ninjas will cross the bridge tonight and pick up the Trojan team as quickly as possible, while the large force will set off tomorrow morning."

"yes!"

Kumogakure still plans to steadily advance this operation as planned. Perhaps it is because they have not found any traces of Konoha ninjas so far and still think that their operation has not been exposed, or perhaps because they know that the Trojan team is leaving. Behind the front line, we felt a little more at ease and did not hasten the march.

But no matter what, if they don't take action now, it means they have lost their only chance.

At this time, on the eastern border of the Fire Country, two consecutive days of high-speed attacks had allowed Qingshui to vaguely see the magnificent sea bridge. At this time, Qingshui's physical condition had reached its limit. Even with the support of massive chakra, Physical fatigue cannot be eliminated.

Therefore, he planned to take a short rest and start directly when the night got darker, trying to completely destroy the Wave Country Bridge.

Even if it couldn't completely stop Kumogakure's attack, it would at least buy Konoha valuable time.

As for Minato...

It was not until now that Qingshui thought that Kumogakure's attack must be a surprise attack from the east, while maintaining a certain pressure from the north. The support force to the north as Kumogakure will definitely be relatively weak. If they can seize this opportunity, they can achieve considerable results.

Although Qingshui had overlooked this at the time, considering Minato's battlefield instincts, he would definitely not miss such an opportunity.

But even if the north wins, the decisive battle will still be in the east.

However, there is only Qingshui in the east now.

He is very likely to face Kumogakure's large army, and these people are probably Kumogakure's elite ninjas.

There are no reinforcements and no retreat...
