"Don't even think about it!" Akira wasted no time. Activating his intangibility, he dove toward the Eight-Tails bound to the ground.
"Don't even think about it!" Nagato roared, controlling the wooden figure to intercept him, determined to stop the attack.
"Fire Style: Hiding in Ash and Dust Technique!" Hanzo opened his mouth and unleashed a dense cloud of ash, rapidly spreading and enveloping the battlefield in thick smoke.
Meanwhile, Nagato's wooden arms relentlessly attack...

"You're not using that shuriken formed from spacetime power to counter my attacks? Could it be that your ocular power is already too drained?" Nagato's eyes narrowed as the colossal wooden figure beneath him stepped forward, its enormous fists swinging toward Uchiha Akira.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The clash of the two titanic figures sent tremors rippling across the battlefield. Even the Konoha shinobi several kilometers away could feel the earth quake beneath their feet.

The wooden door emitted a sharp groan as it swung open, followed by the entry of several figures into the meeting room.
At the sight of the newcomers, both Chōjūrō and Darui rose to their feet simultaneously, bowing deeply toward the doorway.
"Greetings, Hokage-sama!"
The two spoke in unison, their tone filled with respect.
The aides accompanying them scrambled up from their chairs in a clumsy attempt to mimic the gesture, though their movements were ...

"The jinchūriki imprisoned in the village—what's their current status?"
Squinting slightly, Tobirama posed the question.
Rōshi, Utakata, and Fū—these three jinchūriki were all confined in Konoha's prison. Tobirama was concerned about the potential risk of their tailed beasts going berserk in his absence.
"Rest assured, Hokage-sama. With Itachi on the case, the seals on them remain secure," replied Shikaku. Beside him, Uchiha Itachi nodded in agreement.

First, it was that masked man appearing unannounced before him.
And now, a mysterious figure loomed behind him without warning.
Was the shinobi world filled with this many secret masterminds?
The shadowy figure made a request so astonishing that even Orochimaru, with his boundless curiosity, was momentarily taken aback.

Hearing Mabui's report, the Fourth Raikage, Ay, sprang up from his seat, his body instinctively activating his Lightning Release Chakra Mode in response to the shock. Blue lightning crackled around him, the energy mirroring his turbulent emotions.
Ōnoki, the man who had been meeting with him just days ago, was dead?!

In an instant, the Kamui Shuriken shattered, splitting into a rift of pitch-black spatial distortion.
A moment later, Yugito Nii let out an ear-piercing scream, the wail echoing across the battlefield.
A massive Kamui Shuriken had grazed Yugito Nii's body, while another was intercepted by the tendrils of roots extending from a Wood Release technique.
Where the shuriken passed, the space around Nii's body twisted into a spiraling vortex visible to the naked eye.

"What? Impossible! Even a Tailed Beast Bomb of this magnitude was absorbed?" Yugito Nii's eyes widened in disbelief.

At the edge of the dense forest surrounding Konoha...
In an unremarkable clearing, a damp and shadowy cave was hidden from plain sight.
Mirai strolled leisurely down the forest path, appearing no different from a wandering traveler.
Ever since awakening the Byakugan, Konoha had ceased to hold any secrets from his eyes.
This was it—the largest experimental base under Shimura Danzo's command. Inside lay irrefutable evidence of his inhumane human experiments.

Konan gazed at Nagato with tenderness, her fingers lightly brushing his cheek.

Nagato's thoughts came to a sudden halt.

Faced with such a situation, anyone would be momentarily stunned, and Nagato was no exception.
And in that fleeting moment—
The delicate hand resting on his face abruptly darted toward his eye socket.

"Of course. Do you need some time to discuss your strategy?"
Itachi nodded slightly and spoke in a soft voice.
"Kakashi-sensei, please give us twenty minutes to prepare."
Kakashi nodded again.

He left the field to the trio and teleported back to his perch on a nearby tree.
Obito yawned lazily.

Perhaps Shimura Danzo had truly been loyal to Konoha at the beginning.
In his youth, he was honest, passionate, and full of ideals—much like Obito is now.
But after being entrenched in darkness for so long, constantly exposed to the most shadowy corners of human nature, he slowly succumbed to it. In the end, he became everything he once despised.
Obito laughed maniacally.

Mirai pointed to his own eyes, the Sharingan glinting ominously. "In front of these eyes, no secret can remain hidden."
Hiashi fell silent, his thoughts turbulent.
Ever since his younger brother, Hyūga Hizashi, had the Caged Bird Seal carved into his forehead, their relationship had grown strained. Those once-warm ...

With a dull crack, the black rod shattered in Akira's grip. Wielding the broken rod, he counterattacked, thrusting it back toward Nagato.

Facing the immobilized Matatabi, Akira smirked. With a flicker, he appeared next to the giant beast.
Placing his hand on Matatabi's leg, Akira activated an invisible spatial vortex, gradually engulfing the tailed beast.
Suddenly, just as he was about to complete the absorption, a sharp whistling noise cut through the air.
Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a black, fist-sized Tailed Beast Bomb hurtling toward him.

Yagam's face was brimming with smug satisfaction.
This visit to Konoha had yielded gains far beyond his expectations.
During the negotiations, he had maintained a strong and assertive stance, albeit with some trepidation. To his surprise, the Third Hokage and the others had actually chosen to compromise.
