“Kawakaze Hatake, are you determined to go against me?” Isobu roared, shrinking into his turtle shell and charging at Kawakaze like an oversized meat-bomb tank.
Smoke and dust rose as the hulking mass crushed everything in its path, leaving a deep, unmistakable trail across the ground.
“I look forward to our next encounter.”
“Wood Release: Wood Human Technique.”
Kawakaze formed the seal for “Snake,” and a massive tree erupted from the ground, growing at...

As soon as the Kiri Ninja left to carry out the order, many of the remaining shinobi erupted with hatred toward the Mizukage.
Once revered as the powerful and supreme leader of Kirigakure, he now lay half-dead in a pit—a mere puppet being manipulated.
It was the Mizukage who had turned the village into the infamous Village of the Bloody Mist.
With no way to confront the true mastermind behind his control, the Mizukage himself became the target of their resentment.

As time passed, Kawakaze felt his body growing heavier and heavier.
His subconscious began to warn him—his hands and feet were no longer responding.
This Ninjutsu clearly had elements of Genjutsu mixed in, befitting a master of illusion.
The Third Mizukage remained still, watching Kawakaze intently, like a predator observing its prey.
“Sage Art: Lightning Release Chakra Mode,” Kawakaze said, merging his Senjutsu Chakra into his Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

“Lord Mizukage.”
“Kawakaze Hatake of Konoha is here, alone.”
The Mizukage was only just stirred from his thoughts by the commotion of his subordinates.
Listening to the report from outside the door and the alarms resounding throughout the village, he didn’t doubt the truth of the situation.
“He really has the nerve to come,” the Mizukage muttered, a mocking smile forming on his face.
Does he think that just because he has some strength, he can b...

Hearing the name of Konoha's White Fang's secret technique, the two Uchiha’s faces immediately changed.
In their minds, any ninjutsu deemed a "secret technique" was bound to be incredibly powerful. Although they had lost the bet, the terms had been for a simple Taijutsu match—not some hidden, high-level technique.
“Wait a second! You said it was just simple Taijutsu!”
“Now you’re pulling out a secret technique? That’s cheating!”
As Kazuyama flexed his musc...

At the barbecue restaurant, Kazuyama and Pakura were going wild devouring meat.
“Hahahaha! As expected, barbecue is so much better when eaten with a beautiful woman!”
“S...sh...”
“Boss, two more bottles of sake!”
Pakura shook her head at the sight of Kazuyama’s flushed, smug face. They’d barely started eating, and the brat already wanted to drink.
How could he even think about drinking? He wasn’t old enough!
When Pakura pointed this out, Kazuyam...

Before long, more and more Kiri Ninja arrived as reinforcements, surrounding Kawakaze both inside and out.
Despite their overwhelming numbers, they hesitated as they looked at Kawakaze, his body shrouded in crackling lightning. Fear was evident on their faces.
For a moment, no one dared to make the first move.
The name Kawakaze Hatake had already spread throughout the ninja world with his many victories. He was a ninja considered comparable to, if not stronger than, a Tailed...

“What exactly is your intention in capturing me?” Nagato asked, having tried and failed to escape.
The Third Mizukage had subdued him with ease, sealing his power and carrying him under his arm. They were now heading toward Kirigakure.
“You don’t need to know,” the Mizukage replied calmly. “I will help you master the power of these eyes. It’s a good thing for you.”
“I don’t need it. My Sensei will come and save me,” Nagato said firmly, his eyes resolute...

It was already the next day when Kazuyama woke up.
He had slept well, but as soon as he tried to stretch, he noticed something was wrong. First, there was the IV in his hand. When he reached for it, he realized it was back-bleeding. A closer look revealed that half the length of the tube—more than a meter long—had turned bright red. Panicked, he quickly let go of his hand.
Lowering it, he immediately sensed someone nearby.
“Huh? You’re awake?”
“Hey, hey, he...

Facing the Third Hokage's questioning, Haru nodded firmly. “Well, it was definitely him who did it. I wouldn’t mistake the Flying Thunder God Technique for anything else.”

Thinking back to the chaotic center of the battle, which looked like a beehive, Haru felt a surge of emotion....

“Is Sensei home?” Minato finally returned to Konoha the next evening. He went straight to the Hatake Clan without stopping to see Kushina.
“The young master hasn’t returned yet,” the butler said, smiling warmly at Minato after not seeing him for a long time. However, he quickly sensed that something was wrong.

Nagato, having just used Shinra Tensei for the first time, was panting heavily. The strain of using his Rinnegan was still too much for him.
“Not a bad defensive ability,” the Third Mizukage remarked. “But it’s not very useful.”
He began walking toward Nagato again. No one understood the Rinnegan’s capabilities better than he did.
The Chakra required to wield the Rinnegan was immense—far beyond what an ordinary person could sustain—and Nagato wa...

Plop!
Nawaki and Minato fell into the sea, slowly sinking.
They were too exhausted to continue battling the Third Mizukage under Madara’s control. Their combat experience and chakra reserves were no match for their opponent, and it was already remarkable that they had held out this long.
“Senior Brother! Brother Nawaki!”
Nagato had just finished moving the last injured person when he saw them fall. His face twisted with anguish as he let out a desperate ...

“Nice teamwork. I underestimated you.”
The Third Mizukage stood up in the distance, casually brushing off non-existent dust from his clothes. His body was now completely wrapped in crimson Chakra.
“Nawaki, he’s a Jinchūriki,” Minato said, his heart sinking as his earlier suspicion was confirmed.
“Damn, what kind of luck is this?” Nawaki muttered, unable to hold back his frustration. His own family already had a Hokage who was a Jinchūriki, and now even the Th...

The Eight Inner Gates technique releases the body’s natural chakra restrictions, unleashing immense energy. Within the chakra pathway system are the “Eight Gates,” which regulate and suppress chakra flow: the Gate of Opening, Gate of Healing, Gate of Life, Gate of Pain, Gate of Limit, Gate of View, Gate of Wonder, and Gate of Death. While these gates limit chakra usage to protect the body, this technique bypasses those limits, granting strength dozens of times greater than normal. Howev...

“Water Release: Multiple Dragon Bullet Technique.”
The Third Mizukage smiled at the shocked expressions on everyone’s faces. Did they really think they had defeated him? What a joke.

Minato was chatting with Konan and the others one moment, but his expression suddenly changed the next. The person chasing from behind was definitely not a friend, so he dashed to the stern.
His sharp eyesight could make out the turbulent seawater in the distance. Just as Nagato had said, something was rapidly approaching.

The distance was still too far, and Minato couldn’t identify the enemy yet. Everyone immediately took up their...

“Damn it!”
Even with the defense of his golden sand, Rasa could feel the intense heat creeping against his back. He took a few sharp steps forward, and the golden sand coalesced into massive hands that lunged toward Kazuyama. However, by the time his attack landed, Kazuyama had vanished again.
A string of failed strikes forced Rasa to calm himself. Pressing one hand over his eyes, the golden sand floating in the air condensed into an eyeball and slowly rose into the sky.

Relying on the Flying Thunder God Technique, Kazuyama activated it multiple times in rapid succession.
First, when he noticed the enemy closing in, he prepared the Wind Cutter Technique and used the technique for the first time, launching a surprise attack. He activated it again to teleport Rinkaku to safety, and a third time to bring Haru with him. The destination was a forest just beyond the border of the Land of Fire, a location he had marked beforehand.

A male voice spoke from outside the door of the Third Mizukage’s chambers. A Kiri Ninja knelt on one knee, too afraid to enter.
“Worthless. Worthless indeed. You can’t even handle such a trivial matter,” came a calm voice from inside.
The Third Mizukage’s tone was surprisingly even, lacking the anger the ninja had an...

Mito knew Kawakaze intended to use the Flying Thunder God Technique, but she was still surprised to see it executed so effortlessly.

Natural Energy, which had previously been absorbed slowly, now surrounded him, ready to merge with his body at any moment.

I have to say, Kazuyama’s smile is really… treacherous.
It’s no wonder Obito said that if he, the sole examiner for this assessment, smiles like that, who wouldn’t be unnerved?
