After dealing with Boro, Yuzuru returned to Konoha's main camp.
Although the war was progressing smoothly, occupying so many countries at once kept everyone extrely busy.
Orochimaru was still leading the ninja army outside, conquering territory, so Yuzuru had no opportunity to hand Boro over to him yet.
Inside the tent at this mont, only Pakura was present.
Seeing her seated upright within the tent, Yuzuru revealed a faint smile.
"Pakura, the Land of Rivers, the Land of That, the Land of This, the Land of Valleys, and the Land of Forests have all been occupied by us."
"Next, once we capture the Land of Mountains, there will be no barrier left between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind."
"When that ti cos, it will be the mont for your revenge."
After hearing his words, Pakura stepped forward and began massaging his shoulders.
"Yuzuru, thank you."
"If it weren't for you, I would probably have died long ago under Rasa's sches."
Her voice was filled with gratitude.
Ever since witnessing the tragic deaths of her subordinates, she had hated Rasa to the bone.
She once believed revenge would be impossible in this lifeti, yet Yuzuru was truly planning to lead her in attacking the Land of Wind.
Given the difference in strength between the two sides, the Land of Wind would likely collapse at the first touch.
No matter how strong Rasa might be, he would have only one path left—death.
Each ti she thought of this, Pakura felt a deep sense of fortune.
Being able to et a man like Yuzuru was the greatest blessing of her life.
Thinking this, she knelt down in front of him on her own initiative.
Yuzuru was startled. Looking at those lively eyes, he said softly, "Pakura, what are you doing?"
"This is the tent where the highest warti military etings are held."
Hearing this, a charming smile appeared on her face.
She let out a coquettish snort. "Yuzuru, stop pretending to be serious in front of ."
"Isn't it precisely this kind of place that excites you more?"
After saying that, she fell silent.
Looking down at her smooth, jade-like back from above, Yuzuru couldn't help but take a deep breath.
These won were becoming increasingly bold. (T/N: lucky bastard…)

Rapid footsteps sounded outside the tent.
Yuzuru sat upright with a composed posture, his expression calm as he watched Nara Shikakaze walk in.
"Lord Yuzuru, I have sothing to report."
"Go ahead."
Shikakaze stepped forward and placed an intelligence scroll on the table.
"When we were attacking the Land of Mountains, we obtained an important piece of information."
"The forr Kagerō Village once sent ninjas to plant a large number of explosive tags throughout Konoha."
Yuzuru raised an eyebrow.
"Kagerō Village?"
In his mories from his previous life, he seed to recall sothing about this village, but he couldn't rember the details at the mont.
Seeing his slightly puzzled expression, Shikakaze took the initiative to explain.
"Lord Yuzuru, Kagerō Village was originally a fairly powerful ninja village, considered outstanding among the surrounding nations."
"During the Second Shinobi World War, while Konoha was under attack by other ninja villages, Kagerō Village also launched an assault against Konoha."
"Later, however, they were ambushed by forces led by Orochimaru and Jiraiya, which severely weakened them."
He briefly explained Kagerō Village's background before changing the topic.
"After the Second Shinobi World War ended, Kagerō Village sent a ninja nad Genō to infiltrate Konoha and secretly plant explosive tags everywhere."
"Their goal was to annihilate Konoha in one strike."
"But later, their village was destroyed after a sudden attack by Takigakure, so the plan was abandoned."
"However, those explosive tags are still buried underground within Konoha."
After hearing this, Yuzuru roughly understood the situation.
"How did you obtain this intelligence?"
"We captured that ninja called Genō."
Yuzuru nodded.
"Take him to Morino Ibiki. Make sure to uncover all the locations where the explosive tags were buried."
Although he had already turned Konoha upside down during earlier operations and most of the explosive tags were likely destroyed, there would inevitably still be so that slipped through the cracks.
If anyone were hard because of this, it would not be good.
"Understood, Lord Yuzuru."
After receiving the order, Shikakaze bowed and left the tent.
Only after he left did Pakura's "head" erge from beneath the table.
Seeing this, Yuzuru smiled. "If nothing unexpected happens, the Land of Mountains should be fully captured and opened within a day or two."
"Next… the Land of Wind!"

Land of Wind.
Sunagakure.
Kazekage Building.
Looking at the intelligence on the table, Rasa's face was filled with gloom.
He threw the scroll heavily onto the ground and glared at the Anbu in front of him, shouting angrily, "You useless fools! The enemy is already at our doorstep before you noticed. What do I keep you for?!"
Hearing the reprimand, the Anbu ninja of Sunagakure silently suffered.
Who could have expected Konoha's advance to be so rapid? In less than half a month, they had already occupied all surrounding nations.
If not for intelligence sent at the cost of spies' lives from the Land of Forests, they might still be completely in the dark.
Chiyo, standing nearby, saw Rasa's fury and could only advise calmly, "Fourth Kazekage, there's no point in saying that now. We should think about what to do next."
"With Yuzuru's personality, now that Konoha has launched such a large-scale invasion, they certainly won't stop easily."
After hearing her words, Rasa steadied his emotions.
After a mont, he spoke again.
"We signed a mutual assistance treaty with the Land of Earth in the past. Now is the ti to use it."
"I'll imdiately send soone to Iwagakure to request reinforcents."
"Also, recall all ninja currently on external missions and have them assemble at the Eastern Great Sand Dunes."
"The desert is my ho ground. I will not allow Yuzuru to do as he pleases!"
Seeing the confidence on Rasa's face, Chiyo nodded in satisfaction.
Because of what happened to her son and daughter-in-law, she hated Konoha deeply.
She had advised Rasa many tis before to attack Konoha, but he had always hesitated and refused.
Now that the enemy had co to their doorstep, they could finally seek revenge openly and justifiably.
Seeing both Rasa and Chiyo supporting a war against Konoha, the other high-ranking mbers naturally raised no objections.
Ever since killing the Daimyō, Sunagakure's finances had remained abundant.
After silently developing for so long, the strength of Sunagakure was no longer what it once had been.
If they could defeat Konoha head-on this ti, they would no longer need to remain confined to the barren desert.
