On the coast of the Land of Lightning, in the distance, many figures can be seen rising from the sea, and on the shore protected by spikes, the figure of a fairly tall young man, with a slightly bulbous nose, black eyes that usually look bored, and shaggy, white hair which covers his left eye, he wears a high-collared, sleeveless uniform with loose-fitting pants, bandages on his wrists and the one-strap-over-one-shoulder flak jacket of a Kumogakure shinobi.
He is Darui and right now he is looking at the countless White Zetsu emerging from the water, and slowly walking toward them, just as he was about to give his orders, he notices a strange phenomenon in the sky, it looks like it is cracked, then from the cracks, a big white hand came out and enlarged the damage creating a wide-open a featureless black void where the figure of 5 Gillians and countless smaller Hollows can be seen.
Seeing that Darui says "They are coming... Give the signal to get in position!!" while, looking at the numbers of enemies Ten Ten says "Eh? There are a lot of them..." and Hiashi who is near says "I can confirm the one that the headquarters communication signaled to us with Byakugan... It is not only a matter of numbers..." meanwhile, Zabuza, who is looking at the situation from afar, seeing the enemy numbers decide to send a signal to ask for reinforcement and at that moment another Hyuga ninja yelled "Hiashi-sama!! Towards two o'clock!!" and Hiashi "What the hell are those things..." what the two Hyuga are looking at is another Garganta that appeared further behind the enemy lines.
From it came out a skeletal humanoid form fused with a rotting horse, it has a demonic-looking mask with blood-red marks, it also has many weapons it can pull from its back, and behind him a green giant six-armed monster with sharp white spikes on the knees, elbows and an eyeless mask with a single sharp 1m long horn on the forehead, they are the Vasto Lorde Nanto and Hokuto.
Back to the HQ, Ao sensing the two newcomers' Chakra yelled "What about them? Who are they!? They have an Incredible malevolent Chakra! It is almost at the level of the Hachibi!!??" and A angrily replies "Damn! There is no doubt about it, They are Vasto Lorde!!! How many of these monster there are!?" standing up he says "In this case, I have no choice but to go as well!!".
But Shikaku stops him and says "Wait please! Raikage-sama is the supreme commander of the Ninja Alliance! The supreme commander has to be alright and continue to give orders till the last stage of the war! That is your responsibility towards your subordinates!! but Ao counters "But there are too many strong enemies concentrated on Darui's unit!".
And Shikaku started explaining "War is like human life, it changes from one moment to another, I'm here to see through that! Look at the map! Concentrating the main force in an advantageous position is the inviolable rule of the art of the war! To oppose the two groups of the enemy, the best thing to do is to concentrate on your main forces against one of them at the time!".
Then he walked slowly toward the center of the table where the map is, and continued "The battlefield can be divided into zone A(Darui) and B(Gaara), in this case, we will first strike zone A! And the main force will help Darui's unit! First, the belt-shaped unit of Mifune will go reinforce them, and then the upper tail of the formation will merge with Darui's unit and Kitsuchi's unit will be deployed on the seaside in order to interpose between the enemy and surround them, Kitsuchi's unit will become shorthanded, but Mifune's unit with it's belt-shaped vertical height will become a wall...".
And as he is explaining his plan he is pointing at the various zone on the map "Finally, Gaara's unit will gather the enemies' attention and bend its formation while slowly retreating in order to make them advance, at that point, half of Gaara's division will converge with Darui's unit as reinforcement, and after the enemy in the zone A is annihilated, Darui's unit plus Gaara's reinforcement unit will converge in Zone B... and will strike together with Gaara's unit, the enemies lured from the rear".
Hearing Shikaku's plan A asks "Why zone A first? Plus if you pick half of Gaara's unit, there is the possibility that the enemy could take that chance and breakthrough them at once" and Shikaku replies "Kitsuchi and Mifune's units are nearer to zone A, so they can act faster, and Kitsuchi's unit that is in contact with the enemy, can attack the enemy from the rear, obtaining a greater effect, and... The enemy in zone B cannot breakthrough, the enemy seeing that only half of our unit remains, will understand that there is something about it and will not carelessly pursue them, and even if they attack, Gaara's unit is a Long Range Division, using their long-range attack as the strong point, they will buy time until reinforcement arrives from the neighboring battlefield, in other words, they shall stall the enemy... What do you think about it, supreme commander?".
A looks at Shikaku then he turns to Tsunade and says "Konoha did not fall as much as I thought, you have good shinobi, Tsunade" and she replies "You can praise me after the war is over, well... what do you want to do?" A calms down and says "Good... Let's try it!".
Hearing the Raikage, Shikaku turns to Inoichi and yells "Inoichi! You heard that!" and Inoichi "I already contacted them! And I informed Mifune's unit about the situation, they are on the move! Shizune's team is equally divided among the units and is providing first aid!".
At that moment Onoki says "One thing, member of Konoha's Nara clan... to make your plan flawless you should add some other move to it..." and Tsunade adds "The Vasto Lorde's strengths are totally unknown to us, but Ren said that they are stronger than a Kage... If we don't send the old man there, it is probable that Gaara's unit can't stall them enough...".
Meanwhile, Black Zetsu is away from all the battlefields, the only thing he is doing is searching all over the Shinobi World for the location of the Daimyos leading the five big Countries, he is now looking at a hidden fortified villa defended by many ninjas hidden in a forest of the Land of Fire "Is this the place?", then he comes out of the ground and attacks from the front jumping over the wall "An enemy attack!? Why didn't I sense anything!!?" raining all the alarms, he dodges the guards' attack, and reach the five figures inside, but soon he notices that they are merely a puppet decoy made to trap him so he once again uses Kagerō (Mayfly) to once again merge with the ground and escape while saying "So they are not here huh...".
Pick Up of the Day
