"Action!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
With synchronized movements, each combat unit mobilized, acting according to the previously deployed battle plan.
Jiraiya took a deep look at Minato Namikaze, who was leading a small detachment to quickly disappear; they were the most crucial factor in whether or not they could reverse the gap in hard power due to numbers.
The greater the commotion Minato Namikaze could stir up, the greater the chance for the Leaf to turn the tide of battle.
Dense ranks of ninja, from three directions, began their first clash.
This was a contest of blades and edges, a baptism of blood and flesh; upon the first contact, the Usumaru Plain instantly became a meat grinder.
A thick, pungent smell of blood began to spread without restraint.
It was foreseeable that after this war, this area would become the largest haunted domain in the Land of Hot Water, where no plants could grow for decades.
This was also one of the reasons for choosing a small country as the battlefield.
Although it was inhumane, the reason these small countries had not been destroyed was because they served as a buffer; this was the way for small countries to survive.
"Report! Lord Jiraiya! The left-wing unit has encountered the enemy!"
"Report! Lord Jiraiya! The right-wing unit has encountered the enemy!"
Sitting in the command center, Jiraiya received information from intelligence ninjas almost simultaneously; the results of both sides would also be reported to him at the first moment.
"Continue," Jiraiya said, his face solemn.
"Yes!"
Kifu stayed by Jiraiya's side; their next task would be even more arduous, but they still had time to rest.
"Nichikan, take a look," Jiraiya handed the scroll to Kifu.
Kifu didn't hesitate and quickly scanned it.
The next second, his expression also turned grim, "The Cloud ninja are going all out."
Jiraiya nodded with some helplessness, "The ninja units on both wings are clearly quite different from what was estimated; the Cloud have placed their focus on the frontal forces. This battle will probably be the most tragic I've ever experienced."
The Leaf had its battle plan, and the Cloud also had its battle plan.
Just as the Leaf only needed to hold off the Cloud's frontal forces, the Cloud's plan was to focus on the frontal forces, with the two wings only responsible for defense.
In other words, what they would have to face this time was probably much, much greater than they had imagined.
"They're here!"
Jiraiya stood at the highest point, his eyes sweeping across the front, and he shouted in a deep voice as he saw the numerous Cloud ninja rushing towards them.
At the forefront of the Cloud ninja was none other than the Third Raikage!
As well as the Cloud's high-level officials, Shadow Assistant Toroi, Magnet Release Troy, and other elites among the elites.

Chapter 128: Who to Entrust This Place To? [3/20]
Not seeing the Third Raikage's son and Killer B was not necessarily good news for Jiraiya.
But now, it was clear that he couldn't afford to worry about so much.
Once the Third Raikage broke through the Leaf's side, the formation would inevitably be disrupted, making resistance even more difficult.
Buzz buzz buzz...
Arcs of lightning danced on the Third Raikage's body, and his speed suddenly increased, becoming faster and faster.
"Nichikan, give it your all!" Jiraiya left a sentence and directly greeted him.
"Hmph!"
Seeing Jiraiya rushing over, the Third Raikage snorted coldly, a cold light flashing in his eyes. Without dodging, he directly went head-to-head.
This was war.
There was no need for extra probing; the two of them immediately used their most violent offensive means.
The Third Raikage's terrifying speed and strength, Jiraiya's absolutely balanced level where every point was not weak, the collision of the two was like the collision of bombs and bombs, directly detonating the entire war.
From the very beginning, it was a battle between the highest-ranking leaders of both sides.
Directly pushing this battlefield towards the most terrifying climax.
Kifu watched the two engaging in close combat, his eyes narrowed.
He didn't know whether Jiraiya could win, but what he did know was that, from the perspective of the frontal forces, the Leaf was at an absolute disadvantage. If he didn't do something, the Leaf would probably be in danger in this war.
He needed to buy time for Minato Namikaze!
The next second.
He moved.
His body slowly ascended into the air, with a small amount of Iron Sand floating beneath his feet.
At the same time, a dark, hazy, black cloud-like terrifying mass of Iron Sand rose into the air with him, the enormous commotion attracting the attention of many ninjas.
Magnet Release Nichikan!
On the front lines, Leaf ninjas and Cloud ninjas had finally clashed together.
Countless ninjutsu, kunai, explosive tags, and all means of subduing the enemy were used, presenting the cruel war in its most vivid form.
However, upon initial contact, the Leaf side fell into an absolute disadvantage.
This was an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, which could not be compensated for by momentum.
However, now, Kifu had entered this terrifying "meat grinder."
"Magnet Release! Iron Sand Tsunami!"
Whirr — —
Countless Iron Sand, like a sweeping, towering wave, swept towards the Cloud ninjas with terrifying power.
