Wielding the Lightning Blades, Ameyuri charged into the battlefield.
However, there were countless others like her, brought back by Minato and then rejoining the fray.
For a time, with this continuous reinforcement, Kirigakure's battle situation began to improve.
But Kirigakure didn't know that Konoha still had a trump card!
"Is it about time, Tobi?" Obito looked at the White Zetsu he was most familiar with.
"Just about, Obito!" Tobi opened his eyes, which had been tightly shut.
"Most of Kirigakure's forces are back. They've all expended energy in the battles. If we let them exhaust themselves a bit more, we can make our move!"
"Of course, we could act now too, but isn't it because Onoki of the Two Scales from Iwagakure, Chiyo from Sunagakure, and even Pakura haven't returned yet?"
Yes, Pakura had now returned to Sunagakure.
Because Rasa was severely injured and lacked the strength to continue leading Sunagakure, Mei seized this opportunity. (T/N: It seems Rasa's condition was changed. From dead to only seriously injured.)
After strengthening Pakura, she sent her back, fulfilling Sora's earlier plan.
Pakura was now the acting Kazekage of Sunagakure.
On other battlefields, besides people like Mangetsu and Ameyuri, it was the Third Tsuchikage and Pakura who were holding the line.
"Hmm, indeed!" Obito nodded upon hearing Tobi's words.
"In that case, let's wait a little longer!"
"Wait for everyone to return, and then... Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"
"And even if that doesn't work, it's still fine!"
"After all, for this time..." Obito looked behind him.
Tobi did the same.
Behind them stood a distinctly different, large crimson coffin!
Looking at the fiery red Uchiha Clan's fan emblem on the coffin, the person inside seemed self-evident!
Madara, having died prematurely, was directly placed in an Edo Tensei state.
And the most outrageous part was that Edo Tensei required a living sacrifice.
But this time, Madara's sacrifice was Madara himself!
This state would unleash an unprecedented level of power from the Edo Tensei!
Not to mention, before using himself as the sacrifice, Madara had recklessly infused his own body with all sorts of things!
With this divine-level Madara, Obito had the confidence to sweep away everything!
"Let's wait and see!" Obito calmed his mind as he observed the battlefield.
However, the combatants on the field were unaware of this.
Meanwhile,
In the Land of Water, within the Mizukage Building.
Whoosh-
A Garganta tore open!
Seeing this Garganta, the Kirigakure's Ninja left on guard duty was first puzzled, then immediately became excited!
Without waiting for the person inside the Garganta to emerge, the Ninja slid into a kneeling position before it!
"Huh???" Sora was very confused, looking at the Ninja kneeling before him. "I recognize you, Kota. What are you doing?"
Hearing Sora's words, Kota was extremely excited, 'Mizukage-sama remembered me! Mizukage-sama held me in his thoughts!
Looking at Sora, Kota said excitedly:
"Mizukage-sama, you've finally returned!"
"You have no idea, the Ninja World is at war again!"
"What, at war again?" Hearing Kota's words, Sora was bewildered.
'Before I left, I had only heard that Konoha had an Edo Tensei army.'
'But in such a short time, had Konoha become so overconfident?'
'Wait, that's not right!' Sora reached out his hand, sensing the weather.
The weather wasn't as cold as before he left.
"Wait, it can't be!" Suddenly, Sora sucked in a sharp breath.
"What's the date now?" Sora asked Kota.
"Now... it's July, Mizukage-sama!" Kota replied.
Hearing this, Sora frowned deeply. 'I've been gone for nearly three months?'
'That's absurd. It felt like less than a day to me!'
''A day outside, three months inside'… but that's for Dangai, not Pure Land?' Sora was very puzzled.
But after thinking for a moment, he shook his head and stopped pondering it.
"Never mind. Tell me about the current situation." Sora looked at Kota.
Although he knew war had broken out again, Sora wasn't very worried.
Because he was confident that what he left behind was enough for Kirigakure to defend itself.
If Kirigakure fell just three months after he left, he would have to go to the Pure Land and ask those people what the hell they were doing.
Kota quickly began his report: "It's like this, Mizukage-sama. Konoha, they..."
As the person specifically left behind by Mei to await Sora's return, Kota was clear and concise.
Soon, the current situation in the Ninja World was fully reported to Sora.
"Hmm, good!" Sora was relatively satisfied with Kota.
"You've done well reporting. We'll talk about rewards when I return!"
After leaving these words, and paying no further mind to the excited Kota, Sora tore open a Garganta and headed for the central battlefield in the Land of Tea!
At the same time, in the capital of the Land of Tea.
"It's about time! White Zetsu, it's time for us to appear!"
Obito stood up, and Tobi attached itself to his body!
