Chapter 111 (1/2)
Four days later.
Erase and Tsunade arrived at the border of the Country of Lightning.
Originally, Yeruashi had expected Tsunade to come here as a front commander, then three fronts would be commanded by three Sannin, but unexpectedly, Hiruzen was here in person.
”Tsunade, Erase you profit.”
In the central tent of the camp, Hiruzen was sitting in his battle uniform, and when he saw Tsunade and Yeruashi enter, he nodded and invited them to sit down.
In the tent there are other Shinobi, mostly Elite Junin, also among them you can see the current head of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Fugaku.
The current situation forced the Konoha Clans to make a move, usually they try to maintain their combat power, but now they are forced to participate in the war, because once Konoha fails, the clans will also not escape death.
Tsunade was sitting to the right of Hiruzen and Erase to the right of Tsunade.
The order of seats at the conference table usually represents the status and position of the shinobi in Konoha, Yeruashi is a Chokuzoku Jounin and has the status of ”Hero of Konoha”, so that the Elite Jounins and Clan heads present did not object to the place he occupied.
But all of them involuntarily looked at Yeruashi with undisguised interest, after all, he is now less than eleven years old, becoming a famous and powerful shinobi at such a young age is extremely rare in the history of the shinobi world.
”According to the known information, the Third Raikage personally leads the Kumogakure forces, also need to be extremely careful about A. B. Conby, this is an extremely dangerous duo consisting of Eya, the son of Raikage, and Bi, his sworn brother...”
Hiruzen was extremely serious about voicing all known information about the enemy.
At the same time Erase thought, starting to understand why Hiruzen decided to go on this front.
Compared to the treacherous and calculating Third Tsuchikage, it is the aggressive and straightforward Kumo that poses the greatest danger to Konoha in this war, because they can launch a full-scale offensive at any moment without hesitation.
The longer it lasts, the greater the advantage Konoha will get.
If the Third Raikage realizes that Konoha does not have enough combat power and can easily win by launching a full-scale offensive, he will most likely do so without hesitation, putting aside the issue of Konoha being depleted by other Great Villages.
So Hiruzen decided to go here personally to put additional pressure on Kumo, not allowing them to easily decide on a full-scale offensive, the presence of only Yeruashi and Tsunade would not be enough for this.
”Orochimaru and Danzo will resist Willow's attack, given their strength and experience, they should be worthy opponents for Tsuchikage...Oonoki won't easily throw Jinchuriki into battle, even if it does, there's Maito Dai there.”
”There are Seven Mist Swordsmen on Kiri's side, the strongest of them are even able to become full members of Akatsuki, without a doubt, you need to have strength at the level of Kage, and the weakest of them are at least at the level of an Elite Junin, but there is Minato on Konoha's side, so there is nothing to worry about.”
”That leaves Kumo, the strongest opponent...”
Erase thought, assessing the situation.
Just take a look at the strongest shinobi on the other side, the Third Raikage, a monster with a perverted defense that can fight thousands of enemies alone, as well as the future Fourth Raikage and Killer Bi, extremely strong shinobi of the Kage level, especially the second.
If the Biju's power is fully released, it will be stronger than the future Fourth Raikage, which has not yet reached the peak, and not much weaker than the Third Raikage.
