Yi Ji frowned and looked at the black clouds above her head.

"Yes."

"I see."

Ichiji sighed. She thought that after she came back, she would not have to run around in the ninja world and could spend some time leisurely, but she didn't expect that she would have a new mission so soon.

Fortunately, the mechanical unit is now on the right track, and even without her here to watch in person, there shouldn't be any surprises.

"let's go."

Yi Ji glanced at the members of the Thorn Team standing on one side. Each of them was wearing a black coat and a black beak mask on their face. The whole body was wrapped tightly, only a pair of eyes were exposed to look outside.

This group gathers many ninjas with secret arts, blood inheritance limits, and forbidden arts. Those who join are all elites among the Jonin of the Kingdom of Demons. On the battlefield, everyone has the strength to defeat a hundred.

If you have to make a comparison, it is similar to the ANBU organization in Ninja Village, which only recruits special ninjas. However, the recruitment situation of the Thorn Team is more stringent than those of the so-called ANBU.

Taking a black raincoat from a group member, Yiji put it on her body casually, fastened the belt, stepped on it, and left the place in an instant.

The rest of the people followed closely behind and disappeared among the sea of ​​trees in the rain.

In the plain beneath the rocks, the roar of explosions could still be heard faintly.

Shiraishi sat in his office, holding the military's intelligence documents and flipping through them page by page. Every word on it was clearly printed in his mind and he read it carefully.

This intelligence document summarizes the comprehensive situation of all units in the military.

Whether it is the main force, the reserve force, or the logistics force, they are all available, and nothing is missing.

After these years of development, even if the Demon Country's military has repeatedly adopted a streamlined strategy, the number of ninjas accumulated over such a long period of time has reached a considerable number.

Although it cannot be compared with the 20,000 or 30,000 ninjas in the ninja villages of other big countries, the number of more than 13,000 people, just in terms of numbers, is far from what the ninja villages of small countries can compare with.

Among them, the number of Jonin is the smallest, nearly three hundred.

The number of chuunin reached 10,000, and the remaining more than 2,000 people were genin who belonged to the reserve army.

Moreover, this is just the number of ninjas.

The scale of combat soldiers catalyzed by natural energy is even larger. Although there have been a lot of layoffs in the past two years, there are still 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers left.

In addition, there are more than 1,500 flying ninjas and a total of three mechanical troops, each consisting of nearly a thousand armored steel vehicles.

There are 500 sets of chakra armor sets, which will be given priority to Jonin, and the rest will be supplied to Chunin with outstanding strength.

There are seventeen warships, most of which are frigates and supply ships. Even so, they are enough to control the waters under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Demons.

These are all the forces deployed in the Kingdom of Ghosts. As for the armed forces, militia personnel, weapons and equipment, and military bases in the Allied Powers, they are not included.

Shiraishi then took out documents recording the composition of the military forces of the other great powers' shinobi villages.

The most eye-catching among them is Kumogakure, which has as many as 30,000 ninjas, more than 300 jounin, and more than 20,000 chunin. It has introduced 100 flying ninja tools from the Kingdom of Demons, more than 300 homemade flying ninja tools, and homemade weapons.

The three ships and the rest of the weapons and equipment are following up like crazy, becoming a huge war machine after the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Over the years, Kumogakure has not participated in the direct disputes between countries, but has developed with peace of mind. With the strong support of the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder, it has been expanding its army and developing its weapons every year. Such strength is not beyond Shiraishi's expectations.

outside.

It's a rather troublesome opponent.

Next was Kirigakure, and then Konoha.

After the battle two years ago, Iwagakure and Sunagakure are at the bottom.

Looking at Konoha, which after many turmoils, could still occupy a mid-level position among the great ninja villages, Shiraishi took a breath, feeling quite helpless.

The potential of this village is as terrifying as ever. Although he has plotted against Konoha many times and even cooperated with Akatsuki's Nagato, in the end, he still failed to put Konoha at the bottom of the Great Country Ninja Village... I can only say,

It is indeed a village inherited from the god of ninja, Senju Hashirama. As long as the foundation and heritage are still there, no matter how hard it is hit, it can quickly recover its strength and continuously cultivate outstanding ninjas.

"Old man, I'm back. What's the matter with calling me back so urgently?"

Kicking open the office door, Yiji walked in unceremoniously, interrupted Shiraishi's thinking, and asked Shiraishi a bunch of questions.

"..."

Shiraishi put down the document in his hand, clasped his hands together, placed them on the desk, and leaned back slightly.

"There is news from Kakashi that Orochimaru will soon perform a reincarnation ceremony on Uchiha Sasuke."

After a long moment of silence, Shiraishi said to Kazuji.

"Should I ask you to come over to support us and deal with Orochimaru together?"

Yiji immediately asked.

Shiraishi shook his head and narrowed his eyes slightly: "No, I will personally take people over to Orochimaru's place. His group of men who have been planted with curse seals, as well as his follow-up treatment, will be very troublesome and you can't handle it.

.”

"Then why you asked me to come back..."

Yiji tilted her head in confusion.

Baishi still looked blank and said slowly:
Chapter completed!
