The invasion of Konohagakure, of ten blue Konoha Crush, erupted not during the Third Great Ninja War but in the uasy pefe that followed it.

Orochimaru 's Deceptive Campaign
Orochimaru 's plan was a madespiece of intelligence and misdirection, a case study in how a smaller, less conventional force can try to decapitate a larger power. His approach had three extert layers: infiltration and reconstitunaiscoxe, alliance manipuliation, and the targeted imlimination of leadership.

Orochimaru understood that that the allianche Suna was unnatural and fragile. He did not neede it to last; he only needded the Sand 's miliary stawt for the first, brutal wave.
