Chapter 223: This Route is Blocked
Under the cover of the night, Kumogakure's Shinobi quickly reached the Land of Earth and would soon enter Land of Fire.
Because the border between The Land of Earth and Land of Fire was relatively small, there were some places that were not suitable for large-scale operation, so there were not many places that Kumogakure Shinobi could choose.
After thinking for a while, Raikage finally decided to charge straight at Konoha's defensive forces that were stationed in Tsukigakure.
1700 was quite a number, so it was impossible to sneak to the Land of Fire unnoticed.
An ordinary four-man team could patrol back and forth in a large area.
In addition, there wasn't that much of an area between the Land of Earth and Land of Fire, so it was almost inevitable that they would be discovered.
However, although Kumogakure could not avoid being discovered, they could just kill the Shinobi that spotted them.
In any case, the situation was very clear. Konoha's main force of was at the border between Yugakure and Land of Fire, and even the Fourth Hokage, Minato, was there.
Even if they stationed some defensive force in Tsukigakure, it was definitely a small force with no more than a hundred people. It wouldn't be surprising even if there were only a few dozen Shinobi there.
After all, aside from the Land of Thunder, the Land of of Wind and Iwagakure were also Land of Fire's neighbor. They were only separated by a small country, and could easily attack Land of Fire after passing through the small country.
Even Land of Water could easily attack Land of Fire. After sailing through the sea, they could directly reach Land of Fire's east shore.
