War is present

"...That's the case. Shikaku you'll stays at the headquarters on my stead. Let's prepare for it!" Orochimaru waved decisively, announcing the end of the pre-war meeting, and took the lead to get out of the battalion, convene a large force ninja, and headed towards Sunagakure camp.

Junrei took a team of Medical-nin in the camp, this would be his team for a long time. After receiving the order to start, according to their prior allocation, part of the Medical-nin was divided into teams, and Junrei led his part of the team. Around 20 Medical-nin followed the army with him.

Before setting off, Tsunade took a look at him, and after seeing Junrei's 'reassured' hand seal, she slightly nodded and left with a team composed of elite ninjas.

Tsunade's mission requires her to not be directly involved in battle, and Tsunade suffering from blood phobia can't appear on the battlefield. Her mission is to summon out Katsuyu to treat those Konoha Ninjas on the battlefield.

The team of elite ninjas who followed her were in charge to protect Tsunade's safety.

Minato was surprised when he saw that Junrei was also following the army. In his thinking, Junrei should have been left in the rear troops, how could he set off with the army troops?

Feeling Minato's gaze, Mekka Junrei lightly nodded to him, trying to get him to rest assured.

The running speed of these troops doesn't need to be fast. The Higher ups of the Hidden Sand Village should already be on the know regarding this matter. They should now be ready for everything, and are only waiting for Konoha army to arrive.

The army advanced for about ten minutes. An Anbu ninja came to Orochimaru and said something. Then Minato took a team of soldiers away from Orochimaru. It seemed that there was another mission.

The Land of Rivers.

This country is sandwiched between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind. It had become the best battlefield for the two Ninja Villages of Konoha and Sunagakure.

This is the sorrow of a small country. Pain was correct in saying that Great Countries start wars with each other for their so-called "justice", but completely ignored the feelings of the surrounding small countries.

In the Second Shinobi World War, Konoha, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure fighted in the Land of Rain, causing numerous commoners of the small country to be killed and injured, and a large number of orphan were created and displaced, with a large amount of them dying cause of lack of food. This led to the future Pain, and the tragedy that started Nagato desires of revenge against the world.

This time Konoha went to war with Sunagarure, and the Land of Rivers became the biggest victim. The battles in the previous months have caused huge losses to the small country. It's estimated that after the battle this time is over, the Land of Rivers will take a long period of time to recover.

An open terrain is the best stage for a large number of ninja battles. From a distance, anyone can easily see that thousands of Sand ninjas have occupied a high position and are already waiting for Konoha's ninja to start their attack.

Konoha arrived with a large amount of ninjas to the battlefield, with an imposing manner.

Although Hidden Sand Village has only brought around 8,000 ninja, due to the inexplicable disappearance of their Third Kazekage, the imposing manner on Sunagakure's side is a little bit more than on Konoha's side, and people seem to be holding a lot of fighting spirit while looking at their opponents.

Seeing this scene, Junrei felt in his heart that this battle was gonna be hard to fight. However, he also thought that in addition to the large amount of ninjas, Konoha had Orochimaru, Tsunade, 2 Kage Level experts, and Minato, the Future Fourth Hokage on their side.

His mind was slightly fixed. Survival was the priority.

At this moment, an old woman of about 60 years old came out of the crowd on Sunagakure's side. Although the old woman was short, she exuded an invisible oppression, giving a feeling of imposing manner like a mountain. It was Chiyo of the Sand.

Beside Chiyo, there was an old man who looked simmilar to her. As the younger brother of Chiyo, Ebizo's strength is also not weak.

Chiyo and Ebizo are as today, the only Kage level experts and the backbone that Hidden Sand Village relies on.

Behind Chiyo and Ebizo, there is another person following behind, he looked to be about 18 years old. Looking at his appearance, it should be the future Fourth Kazekage Rasa, who was more know on the Anime as Gaara's father.

Looking at other people on Sunagakure's side, although some people didn't appeared at all in the original work, these people are all great and famous experts in the Shinobi World. Junrei has seen it in the reports.

Although Sunagakure didn't dispatch too many ninjas, their experts seems to have arrived.

The rules of this World are really weird. A Ninja is a killer walking in the dark, often accompanied by mistery and blood, but ninjas also yearn for heroes and thirst for that recognition of being on the spotlight.

And speacially these kind of battles are often accompanied with the birth of heroes.

"Are the Legendary Sannin's of Konoha composed of just an Orochimaru? Didn't the other fellows came to play too?" Chiyo's eyes were scornful and dismissive.

"Hehehehe!" The Commander of the Konoha Army chuckled coldly, and his snake like eyes glanced at everyone on the Hidden Sand Village's side, scorning: "A Village that only relies on it's old reputation, your tone of arrogance is not small. But when you flee, you will thank the heavens that there's only an Orochimaru here. "

Chiyo's face was slightly red, and she did not conceal the endless killing intent on her face. Her eyes stared at Orochimaru for a few seconds before she started to talk and said, "An arrogant junior that dares to speak wildly, I am very interested on seeing what Hiruzen's face will look like after Konoha's defeat. "

"If you can survive my hands, maybe you can see it," Orochimaru sneered.

As for the disappearance of Third-Kazakage, no side mentioned it. Now that the war already started, the Third Kazekage is no longer important. If Chiyo mentions the Third Kazekage at this time, Orochimaru may take the opportunity to suppress her troops's morale.

For today's Hidden Sand Village, the most important thing is to win this war, to prove the strength of the village, and to obtain enough prestige for the future Four Kazekage.

In this war, Junrei's only regret is that he did not find evidence of the assassination of the Third Kazekage by Sasori of the Red Sand, and contributed to the village.

The only way to find evidence about this matter is to find Sasori of the Red Sand directly and grab the Human Puppet from the Third Kazekage and give it to village. It's just that his current strength is too weak, and he can't compete with Sasori of the Red Sand at all, so this idea can only end here.

But now all of this is not important.

"Kill!"

Along with the two shouting and killing sounds of the two parties, Konoha and Sunagakure ninjas turned into two torrents and rushed to the other side. Today, ninjas on both sides will end each other lives and bring glory to themselves. The most beautiful way of dying. (TL= BRUH!?!)

Sou! sou! sou!

The shuriken and kunai of the sky were thrown towards the other side. Before the ninjas of the two sides even manage to close out the distance with each other, there were already casualties.

To be honest, the killing of some people is not too spectacular. Junrei's Academy on his previous life had more than 10.000 students. For the earth below their feet, the amount of people that will die today is just a fraction of the one's that would die if this was didn't happen.

But with this amount of ninjas, the Ninjutsu they collectively launched, was enough to change the landscape.

After this killing today, the Heaven and Earth will be turning upside down and will change the land within several dozen of kilometers.
