Under the cover of the night, Kumogakure's Shinobi quickly reached the Land of Earth and would soon enter Land of Fire.
Because the border between The Land of Earth and Land of Fire was relatively small, there were some places that were not suitable for large-scale operation, so there were not many places that Kumogakure Shinobi could choose.
After thinking for a while, Raikage finally decided to charge straight at Konoha's defensive forces that were stationed in Tsukigakure.
1700 was quite a number, so it was impossible to sneak to the Land of Fire unnoticed.
An ordinary four-man team could patrol back and forth in a large area.
In addition, there wasn't that much of an area between the Land of Earth and Land of Fire, so it was almost inevitable that they would be discovered.
However, although Kumogakure could not avoid being discovered, they could just kill the Shinobi that spotted them.
In any case, the situation was very clear. Konoha's main force of was at the border between Yugakure and Land of Fire, and even the Fourth Hokage, Minato, was there.
Even if they stationed some defensive force in Tsukigakure, it was definitely a small force with no more than a hundred people. It wouldn't be surprising even if there were only a few dozen Shinobi there.
After all, aside from the Land of Thunder, the Land of of Wind and Iwagakure were also Land of Fire's neighbor. They were only separated by a small country, and could easily attack Land of Fire after passing through the small country.
Even Land of Water could easily attack Land of Fire. After sailing through the sea, they could directly reach Land of Fire's east shore.
Just imagine the pressure of being surrounded by Four Great Shinobi Countries, even though some countries agreed to sign a peace treaty.
However, it was common knowledge that peace treaty was only something Hidden Villages signed when it was convenient for them. Once they no longer saw any use of it, it was reduced to an ordinary piece of paper that held no power. An ordinary person could easily tear it apart.
To put it bluntly, when their village was in a bad situation, they would sign the peace treaty. If they felt that they were strong and wanted to gain more benefits, they could just find a random reason to start a war.
"Enemy attack!" a Konoha's Shinobi, who was on duty on the sentry tower, suddenly saw a large number of shadows rushing into Land of Fire's territory. He quickly shouted and alarmed everyone.
However, as soon as that Konoha Shinobi activated the alarm, a Kunai directly pierced his chest.
The Fourth Raikage immediately activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and like a flash of lightning, he rushed out, instantly knocking the three Konoha's Shinobi away.
"Charge! We can't let a single Konoha's Shinobi escape!" The Fourth Raikage ordered.
The 1700 Kumogakure Shinobi immediately split into three groups, The first group charged with the Fourth Raikage and the other two flanked them in both sides.
However, before Kumogakure Shinobi could come into contact with Konoha's Shinobi, a person wearing Konoha's Jonin uniform suddenly appeared on the battlefield and punched the Fourth Raikage, who was charging at the front.
This sudden turn of events made Kumogakure Shinobi stop. None of them dared to advance, and they quickly looked around to see if they were ambushed by Konoha.
A huge octopus tentacle suddenly came out from behind Killer B, catching the flying Fourth Raikage and putting him on the ground.
The Fourth Raikage stretched out his hand to sign the Kumogakure Shinobi around him to back off. Then he walked to the front and looked at Nagasawa.
"Konoha sure is better at playing tricks. I thought this plan was already good enough, but I didn't expect Konoha to see through it." The Fourth Raikage said as he cautiously looked at Nagasawa.
"Tell your lurking Shinobi to come out. In terms of strategy, Kumogakure lost this time."
He felt that this plan was flawless. He wouldn't be able to see through this plan if Konoha used this plan.
"Plan? Strategy? What are you talking about?" Nagasawa looked at the Fourth Raikage with some doubts.
The reason why he was here was nothing more than as an insurance since they had dispatched enough force to Yugakure.
If Konoha's force at Yugakure couldn't take it, he would quickly support them.
"The opponent side is an idiot. He didn't see through the plan." Killer B said his thoughts in a rapping tone.
The Fourth Raikage looked around. If there was an ambush, they should've come out right now as there was no point in hiding.
"You have the audacity to come here alone? And this is not even an ambush?" The Fourth Raikage felt that Kumogakure had been underestimated.
Who do you think you were? Do you want to imitate the Third Raikage and stop a whole army by yourself?
Although Kumogakure only had one thousand and seven hundred people, they were no weaker than Iwagakure's ten thousand man army.
"That's right. As long as I stand here, no one can enter Land of Fire without my permission." Nagasawa said with a very natural smile.
However, in the Fourth Raikage's eyes, Nagasawa's smile was a smile of contempt and arrogance. This made Fourth Raikage frown deeply and his fists clenched tightly.
"Arrogant bastard, I will beat you to a pulp." As Killer B spoke in his rapping tone, he began to walk, preparing to launch an attack with the Fourth Raikage.
"Retreat, all of you! I'll deal with this arrogant guy." Fourth Raikage clenched his fist and ordered his men to step back.
Although he was very upset with Nagasawa, the Fourth Raikage acknowledged Nagasawa's strength.
Although he was careless, Nagasawa wouldn't be able to send him flying if he didn't have enough strength and speed.
Since he was in Lightning Release Chakra Mode, his recovery speed was very fast, and the damage Nagasawa inflicted on him had already recovered.
Zizizi! ! !
The powerful blue lightning enveloped the Fourth Raikage's entire body like a lightning armor.
Because Ay thought that he would not meet a worthy opponent, he did not take it seriously earlier. Now, he was serious.
As if responding to the Fourth Raikage, Killer B also began to exude scarlet chakra, as he began to borrow eight-tailed chakra.
In this state, Killer B's speed and strength was greatly improved, and it could also speed up his recovery.
The powerful momentum released by Killer B and the Fourth Raikage made some Konoha Shinobi who were drawn by the alarm stopped, and their eyes widened.
"The Fourth Raikage and Eight-Tails' Jinchuriki!" a Konoha Shinobi couldn't help but exclaim.
"Damn, we are surrounded, isn't Kumogakure's main force supposed to be in Yugakure?" A Konoha Shinobi said the moment they noticed the number that Kumogakure force broguth.
"It's okay, we still have Assistant Nagasawa. With him around, we can definitely win." A Konoha Shinobi said when he noticed how panic his comrade was.
