"If she doesn't come to me, then you can volunteer yourselves."
"It's up to you."
Kawasaki has many ideas, but Minami always follows Hiroshi's lead.
Chapter 132 Shock!! Kawasaki's power! Konan! Kirigakure!
"This is for you."
Kawasaki took out a rectangular box that was about 20 centimeters long.
"Be vigilant against Obito. He may be much stronger this time. The battle between Kumogakure and Kirigakure may make him realize something."
"Mission accomplished. Quickly find a place to hide."
"If it's an emergency, contact me using the ring; it's for locating you."
"Once the box is opened, I can pinpoint your location and then arrange for someone to come and meet you."
Xiao Nan carefully put the box away.
"Have you thought about what we'll do after this battle?"
Kawasaki suddenly asked.
Xiao Nan was slightly taken aback; she wasn't sure who would win or lose the battle.
Winning is naturally a cause for celebration, but if you lose, can you save your life?
Even if they were lucky enough to survive, where could they escape to?
"Have you considered leaving yourself and Nagato a way out?"
Xiao Nan didn't immediately understand Kawasaki's meaning and was somewhat stunned.
Kawasaki slowly unwrapped the paper crane that Minami had given him.
He then took out a pen from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Nan.
.....
The war between the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village has finally begun.
When the Hidden Cloud Village sent out numerous spies earlier, some astute forces had already sensed something amiss.
But no one expected the war to spread so quickly.
It took the Hidden Cloud Village only five days to go from invading the Hidden Mist Village's territory to gaining a foothold.
It was five days later when all the various factions learned of the news.
For the first two days, Cloud Village sent out several elite teams to engage in their first battle with Mist Village.
The Cloud Village lost more than a dozen men, and the Mist Village also suffered more than a dozen casualties, making the two sides evenly matched.
However, after several tests, the true strength of Kirigakure was gradually revealed.
Yunyin then unleashed its trump card—
They actually managed to force two Jinchūriki, the Two-Tails Jinchūriki Yukito and the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki Killer Bee, to log in.
The two joined forces to form a powerful formation and launched a surprise attack on the Hidden Mist Village.
The Jinchūriki took the lead, followed closely by the "950" Cloud Village army to sweep through.
The Hidden Mist Village suffered repeated defeats, losing more than thirty ninjas, including two elite Jonin.
Cloud Village thus secured its landing point.
Subsequently, ships carrying approximately two hundred Cloud Village advance troops landed directly on the island.
Kirigakure had not anticipated that Kumogakure would suddenly employ the Jinchūriki technique, which not only resulted in heavy losses of manpower but also allowed Kumogakure to gain a foothold.
Given the momentum of the Cloud Retreat, it's likely that even more troops will be deployed for subsequent landing operations.
Mei Terumi was extremely anxious, but to her surprise, Kumogakure directly summoned a Jinchūriki.
She had no choice but to try her best to delay Yunyin while seeking external assistance.
In the following days, the Hidden Mist Village split into smaller groups and engaged in guerrilla warfare with the Hidden Cloud Village, avoiding direct confrontation.
By continuously setting traps and utilizing the terrain advantage, they effectively slowed down the advance of the Cloud Hidden Army.
The Cloud Hidden Ones have landed on the small islands surrounding Twin Islands.
They cleared out the remaining Fog Shadow forces every day, preparing for the next step of conquering Twin Islands, Jinze Island, and Jinlian Island.
Once this place falls, the Cloud Village can use it as a springboard to continuously support subsequent troops.
Therefore, Kirigakure is determined to defend these two islands at all costs.
The Hidden Cloud Village, having identified the shortcomings in the Hidden Mist Village's high-ranking combat capabilities, divided its forces into three teams, with each Jinchuriki leading one team.
The other team, led by Samui and Shi, covered the rear with the remaining Cloud Village members.
Once they land on either of the twin islands, this last team is responsible for establishing a base on the island for the following troops to rest and regroup.
The Cloud Village then dispatched all remaining spies to key locations in various countries to closely monitor the movements of other ninja villages.
In particular, the activities of Iwagakure in the Land of Earth have become a key target of Kumogakure's surveillance.
Under the cover of secrecy.
The other warriors that Kumogakure had mobilized beforehand, led by the Raikage, have already set off to cross the sea.
This kind of intelligence is difficult to keep secret for long, but what Yunyin is after is precisely this time difference.
...
"It seems that Kirigakure has run out of tricks up their sleeve. If things continue like this, they can only struggle in their death throes."
Yukito stretched his body and yawned widely.
In the initial battle, Yugito was quite cautious, after all, as a Jinchuriki, her role was to strike unexpectedly.
If one were to directly clash with the opponent's Jinchūriki, the losses would likely outweigh the gains.
Now, Yugito and Killer Bee have been forcibly landing for several days, and one island after another has been conquered.
Although Kirigakure deployed elite forces on these islands, they were still no match for the Jinchūriki.
Although the mist-covered creature was troublesome, it only delayed things a little.
Once she tracks them down, almost no one can escape her grasp.
At first, I was worried that the fog was hiding an ambush, but after days of fierce fighting...
The Jinchuriki of Kirigakure did not appear, and most of the other ninjas were also easily defeated.
It seems the information obtained from the Uchiha clan is indeed accurate.
"It seems we may not need you in this battle."
As Yugito spoke, his gaze shifted to the three cloaked ninjas beside him.
Beneath the cloak were three masked faces.
It was Itachi, Shisui, and another person, Yaoyue, whom Shisui had specially brought along.
Still water flows gently and steadily:
"This is just an initial victory. Next, Kirigakure will be using guerrilla tactics. They still have untapped strength, so you must be careful."
Yugito proudly raised his head: "Unless the Mizukage comes in person, no non-Jinchūriki can trap me."
Zhi Shui nodded, offering no comment.
In his mind, however, he was calculating that Mei Terumi was probably currently seeking help from all sides.
Whether the senior's plan will proceed smoothly remains to be seen.

Within the Uchiha territory.
Thanks to Itachi's summoning jutsu, Kawasaki has learned the latest developments.
On the first day of the war, Shisui, Itachi, and Yaoyue arrived at the front line.
Kawasaki had not expected Kumogakure to take such a risk, launching a surprise attack with two Jinchuriki.
Fortunately, the battle progressed smoothly, and the Hidden Mist Village collapsed at the first touch, without the three of them actually making a move.
They do not intervene in these kinds of routine battles.
As long as they remain undetected, they can be preserved as a secret weapon of the Hidden Cloud Village.
It was only because of the support of the Uchiha reinforcements that Kumogakure dared to use two Jinchuriki to launch an attack.
But this war has only just begun.
After suffering losses at the hands of the Cloud Village, why did the Hidden Mist Village turn to guerrilla tactics instead of organizing a force to confront them head-on?
The reason is that Fog Shadow can no longer afford to pay any more compensation.
Currently, Kirigakure is extremely lacking in both top-tier combat power and core strength.
They didn't even dare to engage in a simple exchange of combat power.
Once the war becomes a protracted conflict, the manpower of Kirigakure will gradually be exhausted.
After that, more countries will covet this lucrative prize of the Water Country.
This vicious cycle ultimately led to the extinction of the Hidden Mist Village and the division of the Land of Water.
Therefore, on the outer islands.
Only a small number of Kirigakure ANBU personnel slowed down Kumogakure's progress; the majority of Kirigakure's forces had already assembled on Twin Islands.
The aim was to defend against external enemies, forcing the Cloud Village to confront them head-on on Twin Islands, thereby relieving the pressure of fighting on multiple fronts.
At the same time, holding off the Cloud Village will also benefit the operation of our own reinforcements.
Inside Kirigakure Village.
The office is shrouded in mist.
