Chapter 205: Konoha's Blitzkrieg
Chapter 205: Konoha's Blitzkrieg
Early morning
The Hokage's office was brightly lit.
Madara Uchiha and Tobirama Senju sat facing each other.
"It's begun. I'm signing the order. Next..."
Madara Uchiha glanced indifferently at Tobirama.
Tobirama nodded:
"Hokage, give the order!"
"Tonight is a night that will change the world."
........
Within the Land of Grass
Sarutobi Sasuke, with his eyes closed, knelt on the tatami mat, clad in armor, his katana gripped tightly in his hand.
He didn't sleep a wink tonight.
In order to wait for a command...
An order powerful enough to shake the fate of the ninja world...
An order to attack.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps approached.
"Captain! The higher-ups have given the order!"
A member of the tribe stepped forward with a solemn expression and handed over the letter.
Sarutobi Sasuke suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and took the letter.
When the order to attack is seen
Sarutobi Sasuke's eyes flashed with intense light as he abruptly drew his katana: "Pass on my orders! Each squad, proceed according to the battle plan!"
"Attack Iwagakure!"
"yes!!!"
In an instant, the Konoha army moved with the force of thunder, sweeping across the Land of Earth like lightning.
........
"Hmm..."
Onoki was still fast asleep in bed.
Suddenly, there was a rapid knocking on the door.
"Captain Onoki!!! This is terrible! This is terrible!!!"
An intelligence officer burst into Onoki's room, urgently reporting: "Captain, Konoha's army has just crossed the border and is attacking!!!!!"
Ōnoki, who was just in a daze, suddenly sat up and stared wide-eyed.
"What?! They've attacked!?"
"Where did they hit you!?"
"Who's leading this?!"
"Ohnoki said urgently."
"We...don't know, we should...we should be getting close to here!!!"
"The one leading the way is Sarutobi Sasuke!!"
The intelligence officer spoke in a flustered manner.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a commotion erupted outside.
Immediately afterwards, explosions and roars filled the air.
"Wow! How could it be so fast!"
"It's over...it's over..."
Onoki panicked. His usual combat experience consisted mainly of fighting rogue ninja clans in the Land of Earth.
They just bully poor guys who don't have ninjutsu or bloodline limits.
Now, he was facing the strongest army in the ninja world, Konoha!
Moreover, the leader of the opposing side was none other than Sarutobi Sasuke, a veteran of countless battles and born into a prestigious family!
At that moment, Onoki's mind went completely blank.

thump thump...
Three o'clock in the morning.
He was woken up from his sleep.
Immediately afterwards, battle reports from the front lines poured in like snowflakes.
"fail!?"
"fail?!"
"Why is it still a failure!?"
Wu Xin was greatly alarmed, and his hand holding the battle report trembled slightly.
"Less than two hours into the battle! The Konoha army has advanced two hundred miles into the Land of Earth!?"
Suddenly, I felt a throbbing sensation in my head.
Black Zetsu was also shocked, not expecting Konoha's blitzkrieg to be so fast.
No one expected that Onoki would suffer such a crushing defeat, resulting in a complete rout.
"Reporting to the Tsuchikage, a letter has arrived from the Daimyo!"
A messenger ninja stepped forward with a grim expression.
"Read it!" No words were spoken.
The Daimyo of the Land of Earth said: "Tsuchikage, what have you done?! Why are you losing so badly at the front?! Are you planning to make me, the Daimyo, relocate the capital? In another day, the Konoha army will probably be at the Land of Earth's capital!"
The messenger ninja's fingertips trembled as he forced himself to read the letter filled with the daimyo's furious rebuke. Cold sweat poured down his face, and he was so frightened that he lowered his head and dared not breathe.
"Alright, stop reading!"
Wu could no longer sit still and immediately stood up: "Tell the lord! I will personally go to the front lines to defend them!"
However, Black Zetsu immediately stopped Wu.
"No! No, we can't go. If we go, we'll fall into Madara Uchiha and Tobirama Senju's trap!"
Black Zetsu immediately said.
He didn't hear a word, his face was anxious, and his brows were furrowed.
Black Zetsu calmly said, "If you go, Madara Uchiha and Tobirama Senju will definitely use the Flying Thunder God Technique to descend upon Iwagakure. At that time, the headquarters will be finished. Therefore, you must stay in Iwagakure and not go anywhere!"
"But...but what about the front lines?"
Unable to hold back, he asked, his tone filled with helplessness and anxiety. As the Tsuchikage, he was unable to go to the front lines, and this feeling of being restricted filled him with frustration.
Black Zetsu's expression turned grim as he looked at the map and quickly said, "Then we can only rely on Onoki. Tell Onoki that we can lose our heads, we can shed blood, but we cannot lose Kannabi Bridge!"
"If Kannabi Bridge is lost and occupied by Konoha, then Konoha will be able to advance even more unimpeded and establish supply lines!"
"Furthermore, the daimyo has been sent to Iwagakure for protection!"
Without hearing this, he quickly wrote a letter and sent something to Onoki.
A stone that represents the will of stone!

Konoha
At this time, the residents of Konoha were unaware that the war had already begun.
They are all fast asleep in their dreams.
Unbeknownst to them, in the Land of Earth, the Konoha army had already advanced two hundred miles into the country.
Even Hashirama Senju had no idea that a fierce battle was raging outside.
Madara Uchiha looked excited.
Tobirama Senju's face flushed red.
The two men were thrilled as they read the report of victory sent from the front lines.
We won! A clean sweep all the way!
Less than three hours after the start of the battle, the Konoha army had traversed two hundred miles across the Land of Earth.
This terrifying record ranks first in speed throughout the entire history of the ninja world.
Even when the Uchiha Kitsune crossed the river in his shroud and seized the North and South He Rivers in the dead of night, it wasn't this fast!
"Wow, that's fast! Even better than when Uchiha Kitsune swept through the Senju clan!"
"I can't believe it," Tobirama Senju said excitedly.
"Hehehe... Hahaha!!!"
Madara Uchiha's usually melancholic face was now beaming with joy, showing his smug satisfaction.
"Great news, Tobirama! Let's have a drink!"
Madara Uchiha and Tobirama Senju clinked glasses and drank a small cup of sake.
The two quickly regained their composure.
"It's a pity that guy didn't take the bait, otherwise..."
Madara Uchiha shook his head.
"Madara, the most urgent task right now is to capture Kannabi Bridge. This is a vital route and Iwagakure's supply line. If we can't get it, we must destroy it!"
Tobirama Senju pointed seriously to a landmark on the map and said.
"Yes, that's true. If we get our hands on it, we can establish a supply line and continuously provide resources to the ninjas on the front lines."
Uchiha Dazzle nodded and said.
"Furthermore, the daimyo is also an important part. If we capture the daimyo of the Land of Earth, we can use him to blackmail Iwagakure."
"That's what Tobirama Senju said."
"Heh heh heh, Tobirama, you should know that the title of Daimyo was personally bestowed by the Sage of Six Paths... How dare you touch that? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the invisible hand of fate?"
Madara Uchiha asked with a smile.
Tobirama Senju smiled slightly: "The Sage of Six Paths? Do you believe that?"
"I don't believe it. If I did, I wouldn't have started this war."
"Let our tangible Konoha army crush this invisible hand!"
Madara Uchiha answered with a smile.
Then Tobirama and Madara exchanged a glance, their lips curving slightly upwards, both feeling as if they had known each other for a long time.
"I'm starting to understand more and more why my older brother likes you."
Tobirama Senju looked at Madara and smiled slightly.
It's the last day of April, and May Day is just around the corner! Love you all, muah!
