Chapter 19

First, let the Vice-Captains form their respective divisions; once he recruits hero units, the Division Captains won't need to spend energy forming teams anymore.

After the mass recruitment ended and everything was arranged.

Next was just waiting.

Waiting for Kirigakure to come and deliver a wave of new Reputation Points.

…………

With Kirigakure's movements being so large, it naturally couldn't be hidden from the other four great ninja villages.

Because the current situation in the Ninja World is tense, any disturbance touches the hearts of every ninja village.

The situation where all Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were dispatched naturally aroused the speculation of other ninja villages.

Could it be that Kirigakure also wants to get involved in this Second Ninja World War?

However, when they learned that Kirigakure's target was the Land of Whirlpools, Iwagakure and Sunagakure relaxed.

Instead, they became somewhat gloating.

After all, the Land of Whirlpools is right behind the Land of Fire.

If Kirigakure's target is the Land of Whirlpools, then Konoha definitely cannot go all out when they are at war with them.

Instead, they must always be careful not to let their own backyard catch fire.

As for Kumogakure, they had no time to deal with these messy affairs in the Ninja World.

They were busy researching the Sealing Technique obtained from the Land of Whirlpools and were conducting experiments on Tailed Beast Jinchuriki.

Land of Fire, Konoha Village.

Hokage Office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the intelligence in his hand, his brows furrowed deeply.

He couldn't help but take a puff from his pipe to relieve the gloom in his heart.

Soon, the office became filled with smoke.

"Sakumo, what do you think?"

Handing the intelligence in his hand to the white-haired man standing in front of the desk, Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to hear his thoughts.

Hatake Sakumo replied, "Although I don't know Kirigakure's intentions, regardless of their purpose, as long as they stand on the territory of the Land of Whirlpools, it is the greatest disadvantage to our Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his temples and sighed, "That is exactly what I am worried about. With war against the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind imminent, we cannot have such a hidden danger in our rear!"

"Sakumo, take four ANBU squads. No matter what Kirigakure does, you must try your best to harass them; you cannot let them achieve their goal too comfortably!"

As he finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and patted Hatake Sakumo on the shoulder, saying earnestly, "Konoha cannot spare too many troops right now; I can only trouble you, Sakumo."

Hatake Sakumo did not hesitate and said, "It is my duty!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked gratified.

"Good, go!"

After Hatake Sakumo left, Sarutobi Hiruzen fell silent, then sighed, "I don't know if the decision regarding the Land of Whirlpools was right or wrong."

If the Land of Whirlpools still existed, how could Konoha have fallen into such a situation of being surrounded by enemies on all sides?

It even offended Lady Mito.

Even Tsunade is no longer as close as before.

After all, it was the First Hokage who signed the alliance treaty with the Uzumaki Clan, but now he has made the Senju Clan a clan that breaks its promises.

But the Sealing Technique of the Uzumaki Clan that can restrain Tailed Beasts is also a scarce resource for Konoha.

Standing in the position of Hokage, some things are unavoidable.

He has to make decisions for the benefit of Konoha.

One day later.

As a war weapon of one of the Five Great Nations, Kirigakure's efficiency was extremely high when it started operating.

They soon gathered the troops heading to the Land of Whirlpools.

This time, clearing out enemies and taking back the ninja swords was secondary.

The main purpose was to turn the Land of Whirlpools into a stronghold that could radiate into the inland.

It's just that the changes in the Land of Whirlpools made the Third Mizukage speed up his pace.

The moment Kirigakure's troops stepped onto the sea surface.

The entire Ninja World focused on the Land of Whirlpools!

Although most people guessed Kirigakure's purpose, they wanted to see what actions Konoha would take in response to such a move by Kirigakure.

Swallow their pride?

Or a strong counterattack?

Once Konoha's army sets out toward the Land of Whirlpools, that will be the moment the Second Ninja World War breaks out!

It was under these circumstances.

The Reputation Points of the Land of Whirlpools ushered in another wave of explosion.
