Naruto: Wooing Tsunade from Day One!

While Nawaki was busy handling the aftermath in the Land of Wind, Minato and his forces finally arrived at the waters near the Land of Lightning with their army.

Thunder rumbled faintly in the distance, and just ahead lay the port.

"Minato-senpai, a large number of Kumo ninja are lying in ambush at the port."

"We should abandon the ships."

Nagato had a clear sense of the enemy's position—Kumo was waiting for them to approach.

"Understood."

"Everyone, into the sea! Move forward from there!"

Minato didn't hesitate for a second. Trusting Nagato's intel completely, he immediately ordered the troops to abandon ship.

As he led the way and leaped into the sea, the entire army followed like falling dumplings, plunging into the water in waves.

A vast number of shinobi sprinted across the ocean's surface, charging toward the port without hesitation. The sight was nothing short of spectacular.

"Spread out! Don't cluster together!"
