Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

There are currently five Hokage in Konoha. With such combat power, it should be no problem for them to deal with Black Zetsu.

This is also the confidence of Konoha now. To be honest, if the four Hokage were sent directly to the front line to show their strength, the war would probably be over in no time.

But Aoba's goal is not to win the war, but to deal with Black Zetsu. Therefore, this battle must be fought, because if it is not fought, Black Zetsu will not show up.

The army of the ninja world marches out much faster than in reality. After all, this world has a seal scroll. The ninjas themselves are all superhuman.

In just three days, the first frontline troops had left the village and rushed to the front line.

As the commander-in-chief, Aoba did not go directly to the front line.

The battle line was divided into two and a half, the Land of Earth attacked from the northwest, the Land of Lightning attacked from the northeast, and the remaining Kirigakure attacked from the eastern sea.

As for Kirigakure, Aoba handed it over to Mei Terumi directly. That was their village's own family affair.

Mei Terumi also understood Aoba's intention. If they couldn't stop them, Kirigakure would have no need to exist. So, she issued a military order to stop Kirigakure and would never let Kirigakure harm any citizen of the Land of Fire.

Just when Aoba was about to go to the front line in person, a letter for help was sent to Aoba.

It was a letter from Kusagakure ninja asking for help. The Iwagakure army had gathered at the border of Kusagakure ninja. Kusagakure ninja had always regarded themselves as the younger brother of Konoha.

At this time, it is natural to ask the boss for help.

Aoba glanced at the information and responded.

"Reply to the Kusagakure ninja. Konoha is fighting on two fronts, so it will take some time to prepare. Have them build a defense line to block the first wave of attacks from Iwagakure. If any Iwagakure ninja enters the Land of Fire before we arrive, I will hold Kusagakure ninja responsible."

The herald was slightly stunned, but did not raise any questions. Qingye was in a high position now, and many things did not need to be explained.

The Kusagakure used to live a comfortable life. But since Aoba took over, life has been getting worse day by day. In the previous incident of Kizuna Castle, Konoha did not give them any face at all.

The Kusanagi seemed to have sensed the change in wind direction, but he didn't even say a word. This made Aoba's subsequent measures useless.

I originally thought that I would deal with the Kusagakure after I dealt with the Black Zetsu. But now that the war has started in advance, I might as well deal with them as well.

This village is actually a good place, with good resources and population. But the ninja heritage is not very good. Without a top master, it can't become a big force. It can only be a younger brother of Konoha.

Qingye had long coveted the land of Kusanagi, and this time he planned to take the opportunity to swallow it up.

"Commander-in-chief, the Sand Village has replied. They have assembled their army and can cooperate with us to attack the Iwagakure."

Gaara is more reliable. As soon as the news came out from Konoha, they were already preparing.

However, the current Sand Village is far from being fully recovered. It has only assembled 4,000 ninja troops. It can only be said that it is better than nothing.

A true ninja war involves not only the major powers that participate in the war, but also the smaller countries nearby that are even more terrified.

The Rain Country is one of them. They were the biggest victims of the war between Konoha and Iwagakure. They suffered a lot and are still struggling to recover.

If Nagato had not established the Akatsuki organization and controlled the Rain Country, the Rain Country might have been annexed by the Earth Country.

As soon as the news of the Fourth War came out, Konan immediately contacted Aoba.

Qingye didn't want to fight in the Rain Country this time. He had already decided to fight in the Grass Country.

After all, the Rain Country is now guarded by Nagato. And because the timeline is advanced, Nagato's body can still hold on. It is really dangerous to fight against Nagato.

Therefore, Iwagakure and Konoha had a tacit understanding and chose the Land of Grass as the battlefield.

It can only be said that in the face of the interests of big countries, those small countries really have no say and even no human rights.

"Nagato, I have received accurate information. This war will not affect the Rain Country."

"Really? It's news about Kamikawa Aoba." Nagato has always known that Konan was in contact with Aoba.

"Yes."

"In this case, we can take advantage of this opportunity."

"Nagato, your body."

"It doesn't matter. I will take action while my body can still hold on. The Ninja World War is a perfect opportunity. The Jinchuriki of each major ninja village will enter a state of war. As long as they leave the ninja village, we will take action.

Notify all members of the Akatsuki organization to enter a state of war. Begin comprehensive collection of information on the Jinchūriki."

"I see."

Konoha, Aoba's home. Yumi was lying on Aoba with a flushed face.

"Aren't you the Hokage's advisor? Why are you on the front lines?"

"Yumi, I'm the commander-in-chief. I'm also known as Konoha's top fighter. How can I not go to the front line?

And there is nothing to worry about. You don’t know my strength yet. There are few people on the battlefield who can hurt me.”

"There are only a few people, but there are still some. It's still dangerous. Can't we just not go? Can't we let Kakashi go?"

Yumi was unwilling to get up from Aoba's arms. She didn't have much sense of belonging to Konoha. Or rather, her sense of belonging was all with Aoba, Karin and the others.

If Konoha and Aoba were in danger at the same time, she would save Aoba first without hesitation.

Even if Aoba was going to rebel against Konoha, she would not hesitate to attack those familiar Konoha ninjas. If possible, she really didn't want Aoba to be in any danger.

"Kakashi has already led the vanguard. I am the second group. I told you, this is not just a matter of war. The most important thing is to find out who is behind this.

Besides, after I leave, Konoha is not completely safe. I have left a backup plan in the village, but it is not 100% safe. If something unexpected happens, you can help out.

Of course, if the situation gets bad, I will focus on protecting myself and Karin and the others."

"I see. Will Team 7 not be going to the battlefield this time?"

"Not for now. They are the reserve force. But Sakura will come with me and be the first medical ninja to enter the front line."

"Then try to take care of her. The little girl is so sensible, don't let her get hurt."

"Yumi, the battlefield is not a game. Even I can't guarantee that she will be unscathed. However, I will do my best."

"Hmm." Yumi lay on Aoba's chest and was silent for a while. Then her body began to rub and wriggle gently.

Qingye: “…”

"Hehe, Aoba, you're responding to me again." Yumi said, standing up and straddling Aoba.

"Since you are going to the battle tomorrow, I will do as you wish this time. What do you want me to shout?"

"..."
