Chapter 495 Rushing to Qianyao, he scanned the crowd:
"According to the latest intelligence, the Sunagakure forces are about one or two hours away from engaging our Land of Rivers forces head-on."
"I will select some of the most capable elites from among you to accompany me to the front lines to provide support."
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell silent. Everyone stood up straight, waiting for the next order.
Qian Yao nodded slightly and continued:
"The fighting here will be temporarily handled by Fugaku and Choza."
"Once the mission is complete, you will immediately lead your troops northeast to the battlefield where Kumogakure is located. Our strength is also needed there to resist the enemy's attack."
Upon hearing this, Fugaku and Choza replied in unison, "Yes, Hokage-sama!"
After some basic treatment, Fugaku's eyes have recovered somewhat, although he is still in pain and unable to fight.
However, there is no problem with using it as a combat commander.
Immediately afterwards, Chiyo called out, "Itachi, Shisui, Mayumi, the three of you come with me."
Itachi, Shisui, and Mayumi stepped forward without hesitation and replied in unison, "Yes!"
Among the many ninjas, these three are undoubtedly outstanding.
It's also worth mentioning that they haven't used their Mangekyou Sharingan frequently yet.
He is currently in good physical condition and is at the peak of his fighting power.
Bringing such powerful reinforcements to support the Land of Rivers would allow for a swift annihilation of the Sand Village.
Having said that, Qian Yao flashed and transformed into a gust of wind, rushing ahead first.
Itachi, Shisui, and Mayumi followed closely behind, and the four of them disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
All that remained was the billowing dust and the tense, bustling battlefield behind them.
Before this, Tobi, who had sneaked away, saw that Uchiha Chiyo hadn't come looking for him.
They quietly went around in a big circle, and then somehow managed to turn back without anyone noticing.
At first, Afei only intended to observe Qianyao's movements from a distance.
Let's see how they plan to deal with this battle against Iwagakure.
To his utter surprise, the battle situation changed dramatically in the blink of an eye!
Uchiha Senyou casually unleashed a Fire Release technique with astonishing power.
A raging inferno rose into the sky, like a menacing fire dragon, sweeping towards the Iwagakure ninjas with overwhelming force.
Faced with such a terrifying attack, the Iwagakure ninjas, who usually thought highly of themselves, were completely powerless to fight back.
They were instantly routed, their armor and weapons scattered, and the entire battle line quickly collapsed.
And all of this was done by Uchiha Chiyo alone!
Afei didn't dare get too close, because he could clearly feel that the surging flames contained a massive amount of Sage Chakra.
If I were to be even slightly careless and get even a tiny bit of that flame on me, the consequences would be unimaginable.
—His wonderful life, filled with all sorts of bizarre experiences involving excrement, urine, and so on, is probably about to come to an abrupt end.
Because once infected, he will grow straight into a tree.
Having witnessed this firsthand, Abi had to reassess Uchiha Chiyo's true strength.
He thought to himself:
[With this level of strength, even Black Zetsu and Obito are no match for him; perhaps only Madara Uchiha could be a match for Chiyo.]
Furthermore, Afei astutely noticed that Uchiha Senyou's clone technique seemed to contain hidden secrets.
These clones are exceptionally powerful, almost comparable to the original body, which is truly unbelievable.
Just then, Tobi suddenly noticed that Uchiha Chiyo had already led his men away in a hurry, seemingly to reinforce the troops fighting in the Land of Rivers.
As for the actual situation of the battle over there, Afei naturally had no way of knowing at the moment.
Watching Uchiha Chiyo's departing figure.
[This guy's strength has far exceeded my expectations. It seems I need to personally go to Kumogakure to warn him.]
With a sudden thought, Afei used the Mayfly Technique, sinking his body into the ground and speeding towards the direction of Hidden Cloud Village.
……
High in the sky, Chiyo, Itachi, Shisui, and Mayumi sped past like four bolts of lightning.
Behind each of them, a pair of wings made of paper were constantly flapping, like four birds soaring in the sky.
Itachi, Shisui, and Mayumi were filled with surprise, because they only learned today that their clan leader could even master such a rare paper-based flight technique.
The graceful wings on their bodies were all made by Qianyao.
Through his exquisite chakra transfer techniques, Chiyo was able to easily control the wings of four people.
Leading everyone, we sped swiftly towards the land of rivers.
"Clan leader, why don't we press our advantage and pursue those enemies from Iwagakure?"
Shisui asked, full of suspicion. After all, during that fierce battle just now…
The Hidden Rocks side is already showing clear signs of collapse.
Given their strength and the situation at the time, it was entirely possible for them to cleverly bypass the numerous obstacles set up by Iwagakure and launch a more intense pursuit.
However, Qianyao casually replied:
"Although the enemy suffered considerable losses in this battle with Iwagakure, their main force is still intact, especially the cunning Onoki, who is still alive."
He paused slightly, then explained:
"Their team has now been reorganized after a short rest."
"If we rashly continue the pursuit at this point, the gains we can obtain will probably be quite limited."
"Furthermore, we currently have no plans for a large-scale invasion of the Land of Earth."
Itachi looked at the clan leader, Senyou, and asked:
"Senior, when do you think we can unify the ninja world?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Yao smiled slightly, shook his head, and said:
"Itachi, unifying the ninja world is not something that can be achieved simply by conquering other countries with force."
He paused, then explained:
"Even if we successfully defeat those countries, there are still more arduous tasks waiting for us."
"—To implement effective rule over these occupied territories. This means not only ensuring that the lower classes genuinely obey and carry out the decrees we issue."
"We also need to prevent them from being outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant. This is no small feat!"
Qianyao continued his analysis:
"Currently, we haven't even fully developed and utilized our own Land of Fire."
"Even if we were to conquer a new country, with the existing manpower and resources, it would be impossible to manage and govern it properly."
