Chapter 420: Kumogakure Takes Action
"Father, Iwagakure has already sent troops toward the Land of Rain."
"Judging by the timing, they may have already clashed with the Akatsuki ninja by now."
The Fourth A had kept his word—he had personally gone to the Land of Earth to monitor Iwagakure's movements.
"Very well. It's time for us to take the stage."
"Let's go."
The Kumogakure merchant ships, which had been waiting for days, finally set sail again under the Third A's orders.
Although the fog had long since cleared, Akatsuki had successfully drawn Iwagakure's firepower away, making the once-formidable natural barrier seem almost unnecessary.
As the ships sped forward, the coastline of the Land of Earth soon came into view.
At the same time, the Kumo ninja also became visible to the Iwagakure forces.
Since Kumo had ambushed them during the Second Shinobi World War, Iwagakure had kept this coastal area heavily guarded.
"Sir, dozens of unidentified ships are rapidly approaching!"
