The Great Ninja Villages and the troops gathered by Konoha convened at the border of the Land of Rain, but the army sent by Konoha included Naruto Uzumaki, Uchiha Sasuke, Hyuga Hinata, Yamanaka Ino, Akimichi Choji, Shikamaru Nara, Kakashi, and Might Guy.
Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hizoku did not come along but stayed to guard Konoha.
In their place came Jiraiya.
Having heard about Konoha's mobilization, he had also volunteered eagerly to come, hoping that he could try to persuade Nagato.
This way, Konoha's army had nine people.
Originally, Haruno Sakura wanted to assemble the "Twelve Guardian Ninja," but considering that Tenten was busy with her ninja tools shop, Lee had been injured during Eight Gates training, and Neji had to lead the branch family, etc.
So Haruno Sakura did not disturb them.
Nine people were enough.
"Lord Hokage, could you explain why your army only has nine people?" Ai asked through gritted teeth, barely keeping his temper in check.
