Three years later, the full-scale war among Amegakure, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure had broken out. Ever since Li Shuwen's spear appeared in Sunagakure a year ago, the conflict between the three nations had officially entered its most intense phase.
Especially three months ago, when sixteen-year-old Morgan took office as the Third Mizukage, Arthur cheerfully allowed Morgan to wage war with reckless frequency. This resulted in casualties on all sides far exceeding expectations—most notably in Amegakure, where in just three short years, the forces of this "Sixth Great Shinobi Village" had been decimated, leaving barely a hundred fighters still capable of combat.
In truth, once they obtained a Holy Relic, Sunagakure had no desire to keep fighting, but Kirigakure relentlessly pursued them, intending to seize Sunagakure's Holy Relic as well. Provoked beyond endurance, Sunagakure was left with no choice but to fight back with total disregard for the consequences.
