The Third Mizukage watched this scene and sneered coldly.
Sure enough, these ninja clans still can't be trusted, even when fighting in their favor, they remain hesitant!
At his command, the army mobilized, quickly advancing towards the mountains and minefields defended by Konoha...
Meanwhile, on Konoha's side.
Aomi casually stretched his muscles, doing some warm-up exercises, and then slowly wiped the Muramasa in his hand.
"The Hidden Mist Village is considered one of the easiest villages to deal with among the Five Great Hidden Villages..."
Aomi contemplated in his mind:
"There is no difficult-to-handle perfect Jinchuriki, the only strong one, the Mizukage, excels in Water Release, which I counter, the villagers' morale is unstable, and all aspects are on the verge of collapse."
"Once I swiftly take down the Hidden Mist, I'll have the hands free to support other battlefields. The Third Raikage's physical body, Onoki's Dust Release, the Third Kazekage's Magnet Release are all formidable, along with other ninjas worth confronting..."
"Especially Black Zetsu and Obito, their poignant emotions, I need to get involved, to make this script more tragic..."
After sorting out his thoughts.
Aomi decided not to delay any longer, to achieve victory in a single decisive blow today, utterly destroying the Hidden Mist Village!
The sweetspot of the war, the Hidden Mist Village is only a part of it, other benefits are waiting for Aomi to harvest...
"Lord Aomi, we've observed the enemy's main force approaching, their numbers are vast, almost fully deployed!"
Hyuga Hizashi loudly reported:
"The Hidden Mist has dispatched about a hundred troops, alternating uses of Water Release to trigger the mines, clearing the minefield!"
"Lord Aomi, should we call the air force?"
In the forest, the sound of rushing water roared loudly.
Under the overwhelming force, the Hidden Mist doesn't need to consider some ninjas' chakra depletion, they just push forward.
The minefield in a one-on-one situation is very troublesome.
To clear a hidden mine requires consuming several times the chakra it takes to set it up.
Since the location of the mines cannot be determined, they can only be cleared with large-scale escape techniques.
But the current situation is that Konoha, a single Hidden Village, is being attacked by the entire Ninja World, with a complete numerical advantage.
So some normally crucial initiatives and strategic maneuvers seem less important.
This is the advantage of numbers...
Aomi squinted, watching the distant forest, from which the sound of explosions occasionally came.
These were the blasts set off by the triggered mines.
"Hizashi, report the enemy's position and movement." Aomi commanded.
"Lord Aomi, their demining unit is advancing, having moved forward 300 meters..."
Hyuga Hizashi said solemnly, "The rest of the main forces are on standby, seemingly waiting for the minefield to be cleared before progressing!"
Aomi chuckled, speaking softly:
"Go, dispatch some squads to harass, creating the impression that we don't want them to clear the mines..."
Hyuga Hizashi hesitated slightly and said in a low voice: "Lord Aomi, are we abandoning the minefield?"
From Hyuga Hizashi's perspective, if such an important strategic minefield is abandoned, then much of the initiative in the war will be lost.
But behind Aomi, Kisame and others also seemed to want to say something but held back.
But when Aomi proposed the hypothesis of "wanting to directly slay the Third Mizukage on the ocean," he declined their request to infiltrate.
Although not explicitly stated, the former Hidden Mist ninjas could see that Aomi was indeed planning to do so!
Since they couldn't persuade him otherwise, Kisame and the others resolved to defend Aomi to the death...
"These minefields are serving their true purpose!"
Aomi slowly said, "The mines can delay the enemy's attack, but how many can they kill?"
"Feigning weakness, making the enemy believe the minefield is our only reliance, gathering their troops on the cleared path for advance, that's what I want to see..."
"In that case, they will obediently line up, receiving Tobirama No.1's baptism..."
Hyuga Hizashi blinked and quickly carried out the orders! Truly Lord Aomi, flawless in strategy...
Tobirama No.1...
Hearing this strange name, Kisame and the others looked at each other in bewilderment, what a strange name is this?
It's said that Senju Tobirama, the Second Hokage, was extremely skilled in Water Release, is it some kind of legion-level combined ninjutsu...
Only Terumi Mei and Kaguya Kimijiro, these two from the Ninja Clan, frowned.
This name, quite ominous...
Senju Tobirama sighed but his eyes were filled with excitement.
Tobirama No.1, once this bomb is unleashed, his name will be a legend in the Ninja World, lasting a thousand years...
Though whether for good or ill is uncertain, as a man lives not for luxurious feasts, but can die in grand glory!
This phrase from Aomi comforted his heart...
No matter if it leads to eternal fame or infamy, you tell me if the name isn't big!
"Notify, units No.1, No.2, No.3, No.4 of the bombing force, change bomb sequence, load Tobirama No.1."
Aomi performed hand seals and commanded the Yamanaka ninjas on the floating Tobirama above:
"Units No.5, No.6, load enough poisoned ninja tool launchers, prepare to clear the battlefield."
"Carry out saturated bombing according to my command!"
Aomi adjusted the chakra within him, using the abilities of Genjutsu True Life, and transmits the topographic map drawn by the Hyuga Clan along with the current enemy location into the Yamanaka ninjas' minds in three dimensions.
Meanwhile, in Tobirama, dozens of Yamanaka ninjas donned with special ninja tools, in a grand formation, acted as the command center capable of sensing the bombing force, conveying Aomi's sketched war topography to the airborne units ready to strike.
