"Your Excellency, please rest assured, we have already arranged everything and once Akihiro comes over, he will not be able to go back safely." At the daimyo mansion in the capital of the Land of Fire, Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly in front of the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

"If that's the case, then Hokage-dono will be solely responsible for the defense of the capital."

…

As time passed, Akihiro stopped a hundred miles away from the capital of the Land of Fire as originally planned. In two days, the army led by Smoker as well as the army led by Crocodile and Vergo also merged with Akihiro's army.

"His Royal Highness, the troops stationed by the Ninja Coalition in the north have been wiped out by us."

"His Royal Highness, the troops stationed in the south by the ninja coalition have been wiped out by us,

"His Royal Highness, I have dispatched 50,000 elite samurai from the Land of Iron.

Akihiro sat in his seat. Smoker, Vergo & Mifune knelt on one knee and said respectfully towards him.

"Gion, after we met, have we counted the combat power we have so far?" Akihiro nodded, paused and asked again suddenly.

Hearing his question, Gion, who was smiling at first, suddenly pulled out a notebook about two fingers thick from the side.

"Reporting Your Highness, in the Land of Fire, we have:

One Pluton

One flying island for our supplies

Two Vice Admiral class heavy warships

1,200 shinobi.

50,340 samurai of the Land of Iron.

41,200 Marines can open the First Gate.

130,000 Marines can open the Second Gate.

89,000 Marines can open the Third Gate.

193 Marines can open the Fourth Gate.

9 Officers can open the Fifth Gate.

Only Vice Admiral Saul can open the Sixth Gate."

"Hiss!" When the people present heard Gion's report, they couldn't help but take a breath of air. More than 200,000 Marines, enough to easily crush any country's army.

"With the current strength of our troops, what will happen to the Land of Fire?" Akihiro did not belittle them, but looked at Mifune and asked.

"Does your Highness want to hear the truth?" Mifune rested his chin and asked with his head lowered.

"It's kind of difficult." After thinking about it for a while, Mifune replied. Akihiro's expression was still, but the people around were stunned and looked at Mifune strangely.

"What a joke! General Mifune, how can such an army not be able to crush the Land of Fire?" One of the countries which often had friction with the Land of Fire, was none other than the Land of Water. After hearing what Mifune said, Ao asked. Behind Ao, several Jōnins from the Hozuki clan kept nodding their heads.

"It's not the same, now it's different from the past. Several major countries have united, and they have drawn Land of the Sky and the Land of Craftsmen. Their equipment is already unprecedentedly powerful. The Land of Fire itself can resist the targeting of several other countries by itself, and they have the legacy left by First and Second Hokage. I'm not sure if they have more means. Therefore, its better to be careful." Having said that, Mifune stopped speaking.

This time, Akihiro did not agree with Mifune's words and sighed in his heart. Perhaps it is because of Mifune's rigorous character that the Land of Iron could maintain that kind of stability among the major powers.

'If General Mifune hadn't been sent into the Marine Academy by me, maybe the Land of Fire with the ninja alliance wouldn't have beaten by me so quickly.' Akihiro thought silently in his heart.

"Reporting to Your Highness! The army stationed outside the capital has moved and two ninja teams of thousands of people are attacking us from the left and right wings." Just then, a Marine Officer reported.

"Only a few thousands?" Hearing the report, Mifune was startled and asked abruptly. There are more than 200,000 troops here, and there are so many high-level Marines. No matter how mobile the ninja are, they can only harass them slightly. Once surrounded, there is absolutely no chance to break through the Marines' siege.

"Your Highness, leave the left wing to me." Vergo took a step forward, the previous battle did not seem to entertain him and he volunteered.

"His Royal Highness, I'm going to defend the right wing with Vice-Admiral Saul." Seeing Vergo take the initiative, Smoker laughed and stepped forward immediately.

"They are all very diligent guys. Your Highness, I should also go to the left flank." Just as Akihiro was about to speak, Kizaru also said leisurely.

"Are you going to join the defense? Stop joking, you just want to be lazy again." After listening to Kizaru's words, Shiki immediately jumped up.

"Oh, how can you just wrong someone like me?" When Kizaru heard Shiki's words, he knew that the idea of being lazy was useless, and after replying, he stepped aside.

"Okay, that's it, Smoker, Vergo, you go." Finally, Akihiro pouted, glanced at Kizaru and commanded.

"Reporting Your Highness, there is a group of ninjas of about 1,000 people in front of our army. These people are all very fast, and they all have the strength of Jōnin. As soon as Akihiro finished speaking, Sicily rushed in, his face was extremely serious.

"How is that possible? How can they have so many Jōnin? Are you kidding me?!" Hearing Sicily's words, Mifune and the others from Kirigakure almost jumped up and asked in shock.

"Nothing is impossible. I thought they could prepare tens of thousands of Jōnin, it seems that I overestimated them." Akihiro stood up from his seat and his words stunned everyone.
