An entire team of Ninjas and ordinary soldiers couldn't even hold out for an instant under Kakashi's blade!
Seeing this, Sakumo beside him nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad. Although I haven't been around these years, Minato's teachings to Kakashi are evident. Kakashi's strength has improved again these days!"
"However, regarding Minato, Kushina..."
Sakumo shook his head, not knowing how to evaluate.
Actually, regarding Kushina's decision, Sakumo, with his more upright style, didn't quite approve.
But if the person involved doesn't care, what can he say?
After all, putting himself in her shoes, Sakumo might also make such a decision.
That was the resurrection of an entire clan!
And although Minato lost many things, he is now the solid 1st Division's Captain, Sora's top subordinate, a beneficiary.
In that case, there's even less to say.
It's just losing a woman.
If a woman could be exchanged for so much, who knows how many in this world would be willing to make that trade.
Thus, Sakumo refocused his attention on the scene.
"Let's go!"
With his guard team, Sakumo followed Kakashi's advance.
At the same time, Kakashi's advance was very fast.
Wielding White Fang, he was like a sharp blade, almost like a hot knife through butter, easily breaking through the Land of Fire's capital.
If viewed from high above, one could clearly see a black tide continuously advancing towards the center of Land of Fire's capital, the most prosperous Daimyo Mansion!
Accompanying that black tide, explosions and killings constantly occurred. The Land of Fire's capital, peaceful for so long, began to burn.
And such information quickly reached the Land of Fire's Daimyo.
Land of Fire's Capital, Daimyo's Mansion.
A soldier covered in dust and ash rushed in.
"It's bad, Daimyo-sama! A group of Ninjas is attacking the capital!"
"What Ninjas are attacking?"
Hearing the soldier's words, the Land of Fire's Daimyo, who was in the middle of... well, with his favorite concubine, was scared almost into on-the-spot physical failure.
Fortunately, as a Daimyo, the Land of Fire's Daimyo still had reactions.
Quickly, he composed himself.
However, the Land of Fire's Daimyo looked at the soldier before him with a very puzzled expression.
"What happened? Where is your commander, Daiki?" the Land of Fire's Daimyo asked.
"Daimyo-sama, I am Daiki!" The soldier cried, taking off the helmet on his head. At this point, the Land of Fire's Daimyo realized this soldier was indeed his capital guard commander.
Instantly, the Land of Fire's Daimyo was shocked: "Daiki, why are you dressed like this? What's the situation?"
Daiki cried: "Daimyo-sama, didn't I say? A group of Ninjas from who knows where has attacked!"
"They are extremely cruel, killing anyone they see, not listening to our questions at all!"
"What!!? There really is such a brazen lot?" Hearing his guard commander's words, the Land of Fire's Daimyo was very shocked.
Daiki was speechless for a moment.
'Damn, I've said it so many times, why are you only reacting now? Who the hell has nothing better to do than lie to you?' Looking at Daiki's expression, the Land of Fire's Daimyo realized he asked a stupid question.
But it wasn't his fault… mainly, the Land of Fire's Daimyo was too surprised.
Since the end of Warring States Period, war had lost its connection with them.
Once a Great Ninja War starts, that's the Ninjas' business. They only need to provide resources.
And precisely because they firmly grasped the lifeline of resources, even if Ninjas possessed world-shattering power, they had to treat the Daimyo with courtesy.
Of course, Daimyo like the Land of Fire's Daimyo were also wary of Ninjas' combat power.
Thus, the Twelve Guardian Ninja came into existence. Relying on their wealth, the Daimyo also nurtured their own Ninja Force.
At this moment, hearing someone was attacking, the Land of Fire's Daimyo actually wasn't very scared.
After reacting, the Land of Fire's Daimyo was furious: "Call the Twelve Guardian Ninja!"
"Have the Twelve Guardian Ninja twist off those maniacs' heads!"
"And notify Konoha! How are they managing, how are they defending this Land of Fire? How come such a group of lunatic Ninjas came, and they have no reaction at all?"
"Hmph!" The Land of Fire's Daimyo heavily flicked his sleeve: "This time I will punish them severely! Truly lawless!"
"Yes, Daimyo-sama!" Daiki respectfully prostrated.
Until now, they still thought Konoha belonged to the Land of Fire.
But this wasn't the Land of Fire's Daimyo's fault… after all, their situation was like this: informationally isolated, looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.
This was also why Sora decided to eliminate these decadent forces rather than directly recruit them!
However, even a worn-out ship has three pounds of nails… the Land of Fire's Daimyo was clearly the same.
Under his command, the imperial palace guards were mobilized.
