Chapter 220 Minato’s Alertness

Since it was Kumogakure who was the first to declare war and they were the first to send out ninjas, Kumogakure was the first to build a camp on the border of Yuno Country.

This time, Yunyin did not choose a particularly hidden place, but randomly chose a place that was not particularly conspicuous and not considered hidden at the same time.

The camp looks very big, with many tents, but if you open it, you will find that not only are there no people in the so-called tents, but there are not even basic items inside, just wood and a piece of cloth.

This was something Kumogakure had planned a long time ago. In fact, the so-called large number of ninjas who entered the country of Yu were only some ninjas, and the others were clones.

Kumogakure's real large forces have already entered Tian Country in batches, preparing to raid Konoha through Tian Country, conduct a blitzkrieg, directly enter the Land of Fire, and attack Konoha.

However, Kumogakure was not in a hurry to attack. After all, even if there were no large troops at the border of Tian Country, there would still be some ninjas stationed there.

Ninjas are very mobile. If they attack too quickly and the Konoha ninjas here ask for help, then all their efforts will be in vain.

The two small countries of Tianzhi are very close to each other. The ninjas rushed on their way and could reach them in half a day.

When the time comes, the Kumo ninja who rush into the heart of the Fire Country may even be outflanked by Konoha.

So the Kumo ninja were waiting for an opportunity. When most of Konoha was attracted by Yunokuni troops and went deep into the battle, that's when Kumo Gakure's large force would make a surprise attack.

………………

Although Minato said that he would fight on the front line, as the Hokage, of course, Minato could not be the first to go directly to the battlefield.

After several tentative battles between the Kumo ninja troops and Konoha's troops, Minato led part of the troops to the border of Yunokuni.

"Yondaime-sama!"

"Yondaime-sama!"

Minato led his troops into Konoha's camp, instantly causing a tremor in the camp.

As the Hokage of Konoha, Minato going to the battlefield in person is equivalent to marching in person. The commander is riding a horse and standing at the front, which greatly improves morale.

Minato responded to every ninja with a gentle smile, and then said: "Thank you for your hard work."

Soon Minato was welcomed into the war room, the largest tent in the camp.

Inside the camp were the captains of the advance troops, as well as all the Jonin in the camp.

The captain of the advance force is Shikaku Nara, the current head of the Nara family, and the vice-captains are the other two members of Ino Shikacho, Choza Akimichi, and Kaiichi Yamanaka.

"Shikaku, what is the situation on the battlefield now?" Minato asked Nara Shikaku while standing in front of the map with various markings.

Minato had fought with Ino Shikacho many times during the Third Ninja War, and the process and results were quite pleasant, so everyone had a good relationship, so Minato called them by their first names.

"The war has just begun, so we can't see much. Currently, everyone is conducting small attacks and testing each other." Nara Shikaku said.

Due to the characteristics of ninjas, there are very few scenes where everyone gathers together to fight each other. It usually only happens during decisive battles.

Normally, both sides usually send out small teams to attack each other.

Only after collecting enough intelligence and making sufficient preparations and plans will the attack be assembled and the final decisive battle begin.

"Have you collected the opponent's camp?" Minato asked again.

"We haven't found the specific location yet, but based on the battle over the past half month, we can roughly determine an area." Lu Jiu quickly replied.

"Let's send a team of ninjas to conduct a tentative attack tomorrow to determine the location of the opponent's camp." Minato said.

"Yeah." Lujiu nodded.

"By the way, have any strong men taken action on the Kumo ninja side? Did the Raikage and Jinchūriki show up?" Minato asked again.

Shikaku shook his head and said: "I will give you the collected information on the Kumogakure jounin who took action during the war later, but I haven't seen the Raikage, the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki and the Two-Tailed Jinchuuriki for the time being.

I don’t know if I’m waiting for the opportunity in the camp or if I haven’t come to the front line yet.”

"You haven't shown up yet? This is a bit inconsistent with his style." Minato frowned slightly.

He and the Fourth Raikage are old rivals, having fought several times during the Third Ninja War.

The first battle was when he led the ninja troops to support Konoha who was fighting against the Kumo ninja.

As a result, the bold fourth generation Ai actually came with a group of people to rob and kill their support force.

Minato was also a little shocked that time. The fourth generation Ai could actually reach a speed close to that of the Flying Thunder God in a short distance by relying on his body.

You know, Flying Thunder God is a time and space ninjutsu, and the fourth generation Ai can actually achieve such speed with his body.

Minato was sure at that time that the fourth generation Ai would become the Raikage in the future.

Minato, the Fourth Ai, and Kira competed with each other for a few moves, but both sides found that they couldn't take down the other, so they retreated.

Ai came in a detour, and if the battle could not be ended quickly, there would be a risk of being surrounded.

Minato thought that the fourth generation Ai would take action immediately. Could it be that in the past few years, because he became the Raikage, Ai had changed his personality.

"Remind the defense forces in other directions to be careful of Kumo ninja raids. They may not have put their real main force here." Minato said.

"I will. In fact, I have had this idea in the past two days, so I have been looking for the location of the Kumogakure camp." Nara Shikaku nodded.

Nara Shikaku is not a novice who has never fought before. He got plenty of training during the Third Ninja War.

If the opponent is an Iwa nin, Nara Shikaku doesn't think there is anything abnormal about the current situation.

But if the opponent was a Kumo ninja, Nara Shikaku would feel that the opponent seemed to be avoiding the fight.

Although Yun Ninja seems to be very proactive, he is harassed by small groups every time and never stays for a long time.

After changing his uniform, Nara Shikaku could still think that he was fighting with the Kiri Ninja group.

Kirigakure are good at assassination, and they basically don't have the habit of fighting in large groups. They only harass small groups. Coupled with Kirigakure's Kirigakure technique, it can be said to be extremely annoying.

But as for the Kumo ninja, they just drew their swords, picked up their fists, and punched them. The rhythm of the battlefield now is a bit inconsistent with the Kumo ninja's fighting style.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Nara Shikaku felt that the Kumo ninja were probably planning this raid somewhere else, and the Yu no Kuni side could only be considered a feint attack.

However, something surprised Minato Namikaze and Shikaku Nara.

The next day, just as they were informing other places to be careful about the Kumo ninja's surprise attack, the jinchuriki appeared, although it was not the eight-tailed jinchuriki, but the two-tailed jinchuriki.

The two-tailed jinchūriki led a team of Kumo ninjas to raid a temporary sentry post set up in Konoha.
