The next morning, Kazuyama was already waiting at the village entrance. In front of him stood five fully loaded wagons, ready to depart.
"Little brother Kazuyama, I'm ready to go. We can leave at any time."
Saburō Honda approached him slowly, and Kazuyama nodded.
"Saburō Honda, you're early. There's still half an hour before departure."
"Hey, I'm used to it. The supplies we're transporting this time are important, so we logistics guys have to stay on our toes."

“Huh? Why did you withdraw the natural energy?”
“Is the Genjutsu over?”
“Did she fail? Did she run out of chakra?”
Kazuyama watched as Tagitsuhime slowly withdrew the energy that belonged to her. Meanwhile, Tsunade had already fallen asleep, tears still in her eyes.
Tagitsuhime glanced at Tsunade with a hint of appreciation before speaking in a flat tone.
“No, she passed the test. Just one second before her chakra was about to run out, she overcame ...

“No! Don’t touch me!”
“Blood… so much blood…”
Tsunade stared at the crimson staining her body, trembling violently, on the verge of collapse.
But Dan and Nawaki remained beside her, their voices firm yet filled with urgency.
“Tsunade! Why are you afraid of just a little blood?”
“I’m your lover! Are you really going to abandon me over something like this?” Dan shouted angrily.
Nawaki quickly followed, his voice pressing into her mind....

“Oh? Is that so?”
“I didn’t realize it, Kazuyama, but you actually have a kind heart.”
Tagitsuhime looked at Kazuyama in surprise. Everyone who came to Ryūchi Cave sought power, meaning none of them were kind. The same applied to the three Snake Princesses, who served as examiners and set deadly trials.
Not only was Tagitsuhime surprised, but so were Tagorihime and Ichikishimahime, who stood nearby. It was as if they were seeing Kazuyama for the first time.

The Coiling Serpent Technique had officially begun.
In the blink of an eye, Tagitsuhime and Kazuyama had remained in their fused state for six hours. By this point, more than half of the giant snake’s body had coiled around him. A faint red glow emanated from his body as the natural energy within him slowly merged with the scarlet energy.
Another six hours passed.
Tagorihime and Ichikishimahime remained patient. For beings like them, who had trained for centuries, twelve h...

They followed instructions, and under the urging of Kazuyama, the three Snake Princesses led him to the cave where they trained.
Kazuyama slowly activated his Transparent Escape Technique, drawing in the surrounding natural energy. Meanwhile, the three Snake Princesses continued their meal as they guided him.
“Sss, delicious!”

Kazuyama looked at the furious Pakura, his face still bruised from earlier.
Beside him, the three kids and Tsunade watched with open curiosity.
“I really didn’t mean to…”
“Pakura, you have to believe me…”
Pakura snorted at his weak defense, then flashed a smile that sent a chill down Kazuyama’s spine.
“If Tsunade hadn’t mentioned it, I might’ve forgotten…” she said slowly. “Someone seems to have quite the long list of misdeeds…”

"Yo... Isn't this... Lady Tsunade...?"
Kazuyama's voice trembled slightly.
Tsunade slowly approached, still smiling.
"Kid, what did you just say?" she asked sweetly. "You found out where I was?"
Her expression darkened.
"So it was you that day, wasn't it?"
Kazuyama's mind flashed back to that moment—blonde hair, oversized breasts—his entire vision had been filled with Tsunade.
But now, facing her wrath, all he ...

After a short rest, Kazuyama returned to the village with a report on Orochimaru’s battle. The attack on the front lines had gone well, and he could already imagine how pleased the Hokage would be upon hearing the news.
As he traveled, Kazuyama was in an unusually good mood. However, his right eyelid suddenly twitched again, startling him.
Halting on a tree trunk, he glanced around warily.
"Chōmei, I suddenly have a really bad feeling..." he muttered. "I feel like if I go...

The battle started quickly, and it ended just as abruptly.
The moment Chiyo shouted for retreat, all the Sunagakure ninja withdrew in an orderly fashion. Those at the rear moved so fast it seemed as if they weren’t running on land, but fleeing across a sea of flames—one that would consume them if they lingered even a second longer.
"Hey? They're retreating already?"
"Hey, you're playing with sand! Don't go!"

Who was Kazuyama? The Rokudenashi of the ANBU. If he wasn’t completely sure of himself, would he really expose his position so suddenly?
Before the surrounding Sunagakure ninja could close in, he vanished with the Flying Thunder God Technique—leaving them stunned.
Mere seconds later, familiar shouting and agonized screams erupted from another direction.

“The enemy is Sunagakure. Don't make any mistakes! They're the ones in yellow!”

This was Kazuyama’s first time summoning her, so he was filled with unease. She didn’t know much about the enemy, and if she accidentally harmed one of his own, it would be a disaster.
Kinrin, clearly irritated, snapped back before her massive golden bod...

Kazuyama slept for two days.
Although he was a perfect Jinchūriki, this was the first time he had activated all five tails while also using the Flying Thunder God Technique for an extended period.
Even with Chōmei’s chakra support, his body had reached its limit.
After all, the Seven-Tails' chakra didn’t provide self-healing like the Nine-Tails’.
This meant he actually needed sleep to recover.
Chōmei had been closely monitoring Kazuyama’s condition for...

Suddenly, several figures rushed in from the direction of the battlefield.
Orochimaru’s pupils contracted instantly.
“Lord Orochimaru, there’s some unrest in the Sunagakure position.”
“We didn’t dare get too close, but it looks like they’re searching for someone. They’ve deployed quite a few people.”
Listening to the report, Orochimaru frowned slightly.
Judging by the situation, Kazuyama’s plan had worked.

“Kazuyama, are you okay?”
"I'm fine, just a little tired. After all, it was a partial Tailed Beast transformation with five tails, and I used the Tailed Beast Ball. I just need to rest for a bit."
Chōmei’s concerned voice echoed in Kazuyama’s mind.
Upon hearing Kazuyama’s response, Chōmei snapped at him.
“You really messed up, daring to use the Tailed Beast Ball without any practice.”

"You're the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki? A ninja from Takigakure?"
"Impossible! Takigakure has never had a Jinchūriki before! And why are you working with Sasori?"
Even with his sharp mind, Hatazaemon was momentarily at a loss.
Among the Nine Tailed Beasts, only the Seven-Tails had an insect-like form.
But at the same time, it was the only one that did not belong to one of the Five Great Ninja Villages.
How could Takigakure, a secluded village, al...

An explosion erupted at close range as the three puppets brandished gleaming steel blades coated in a deadly purple venom.
Hatazaemon, however, was worthy of his title as a Kage-level shinobi.
Despite Sasori's sudden betrayal, he remained completely unfazed.
A surge of Iron Sand erupted from the ground, instantly forming three towering iron pillars that blocked the puppets’ attacks.
Even the letter Sasori had thrown was halted midair by the Iron Sand.

“Chōmei, do you think the kid will fall for the trap?”
Kazuyama, hiding in a tree and observing the situation, still felt uneasy.
In his previous life, he had analyzed the psychology of the "Sasori of the Red Sand" based on various great figures’ interpretations. But even with that knowledge, he couldn't be sure whether he would successfully provoke Sasori’s emotions.

“We have located Lady Tsunade. Lord Hokage has already dispatched ANBU to find her.”

Orochimaru nodded.
If Tsunade arrived, their opponent’s poison would no longer be a major threat.

“At least half of our casualties so far are due to his poison.”

Kazuyama appeared in front of the three, laughing. He completely ignored the resentful looks in their eyes, especially Obito, who had just endured close contact with the giant snake.
Afterward, he returned to the mission hall to submit his report. The owner of the cat took one look at her half-dead pet and nearly lost her temper. It was only after Kazuyama and the staff profusely apologized that her anger was temporarily quelled, though the original reward for the mission was cut in hal...

"You didn't observe your target carefully."
On the other side, Kakashi landed smoothly after catching the cat.

"See? It's just a cat. No need for us to go all out!"
Obito arrogantly took the cat from Kakashi’s hands.
But the next second—
Boom!
The cat in Obito’s hands instantly turned into a snake.
