Therefore, the Anbu were tasked with finding Jiraiya and bringing him back, along with investigating other enemy nations for a possible attack. Since Hayate was killed while secretly investigating Kabuto, it was in the Leaf Village elder’s knowledge that the incident had a direct link with Orochimaru.

This has led fans to debate whether this can be attributed to poor writing on the authors part, or were there actual signs that explain how the invasion could have been made possible.

Being an action-packed shonen anime, Naruto features a number of hair-raising battles and all-out wars, such as the infamous Great Shinobi Wars that changed the complete political landscape of the shinobi world.
