It didn’t take Kazuyama long to come up with a mischievous idea. Moments later, he vanished from above Hokage Rock.
After roughly gauging the pace of the two women’s walk, Kazuyama used his Transparent Escape Technique to dart into a nearby shop.
“Chōmei, lend me some Scale Powder.”
“Huh? What do you need it for?”
“Don’t ask—just tell me if you want to see something entertaining.”
“Then yes, take it.”
Chōmei, now thoroughly influen...

Two months had passed since Kushina became a Jinchūriki. Her missions had been completely canceled, leaving her without the need to participate in any assignments. In their place, she received a fixed allowance every month.
She understood the reason behind this arrangement but had no choice in the matter. After all, her status had changed, and this was one of the burdens she had to bear as a Jinchūriki.
Fortunately, she had Minato and Kazuyama to rely on; otherwise, she might ha...

Because of a single sentence from Mito, Kazuyama's mind was in turmoil, waves of emotion surging within him.
Still, having lived two lives, his mentality was stable. He quickly suppressed his thoughts and responded calmly, “Lady Mito, what are you talking about? A Jinchūriki? Me? How is that possible.”
Mito smiled at the young man in front of her. Though he was only in his teens, he was remarkably skilled at hiding his true emotions.
A rare talent indeed.

Back in the laboratory, Kazuyama had a million thoughts racing through his mind. The Nine-Tails, with its nine tails and overwhelming power, was undeniably a formidable being, but it had been repeatedly manipulated by the Uchiha—how pathetic.
“Hmph, what’s so great about that dead fox? Can he fly?”
“Can he spit Scale Powder? Listen, kid, even if Kurama showed up, I wouldn’t even give him a glance.”
“Kurama’s got nothing on me. I can fly forever, and there...

These days, Kazuyama has been enjoying himself immensely. Spending hours in the laboratory, he can't help but marvel at Orochimaru's genius—whether in the development of jutsu or groundbreaking research.
"Sensei, I don't quite understand. Can one create a Kekkei Genkai?" Kazuyama asks, though his thoughts drift elsewhere.
Of course one can create a Kekkei Genkai. Yamato's existence alone proves that.
Orochimaru lets out a quiet chuckle. "Haha, that's precisely wha...

“It seems you’ve also finished learning the Fūinjutsu scrolls I gave you.”
Orochimaru looked pleased with Kazuyama’s rapid progress. No matter what technique he taught him, Kazuyama mastered it quickly. The only area where he fell short was scientific research—completely lacking talent in that regard.
“By the way, Sensei, can you tell me about Danzō?”
If anyone in Konohagakure knew the...

Kazuyama was silent. He was clearly on the Hokage's side, which would inevitably bring misfortune to the opposition.
Although Konoha seemed peaceful and harmonious on the surface, there were always schemers working behind the scenes.
Alright, Danzō, just go ahead and report my ninja registration number already.

In the lobby, Sakumo smiled as he watched Kazuyama twist left and right, clearly in pain. His good mood was unmistakable.
"Kakashi, did you see that? Learn from your father more often. This One Thousand Years of Death technique is enough to let you roam the Ninja World with ease."
Kazuyama winced as a sharp tremor ran through him, the pain unbearable. Yet, his face remained defiant as he stared at Sakumo.
He thought: This old man really has a fiery temper! ...

After leaving the Hyūga Clan Grounds, Kazuyama walked toward the Uchiha Clan Grounds with Pakura, who remained silent the entire way.
Pakura, herself a Kekkei Genkai user, was well aware of the power of those eyes. Suddenly, she remembered that Kazuyama also possessed a Kekkei Genkai, though she still had no idea what it was.
"Kazuyama, what about you? What is your Kekkei Genkai?"
Kazuyama stopped at her words, turning to her with a teasing smile.

“Huh? Why do you want to see the Uchihas and Hyūgas?”
Kazuyama was slightly puzzled and started to think outside the box.
In an instant, he started speculating about Pakura’s intentions. As a ninja from Sunagakure, it wasn’t exactly ideal for her to take an interest in Konoha’s two major Kekkei Genkai clans.
The Uchiha and Hyūga Clans were notoriously cautious. If not, why had no one ever managed to pry into their secrets? He didn’t want Pakura attempting anyth...

“In that case, I will be the judge. This competition will focus on sparring.”
“Be careful,” Kazuyama said to Pakura. Her status was unique, and she needed to maintain propriety.
“Hmph, I know that without you having to tell me,” she retorted sharply, clearly dissatisfied with Kazuyama's caution. “They’re just a couple of kids,” she added, snorting in disapproval.
Obito and Guy stretched briefly before shouting in unison, “Let’s go!” The two charged at...

The next day, at Ebisami's strong request, Kazuyama took Pakura on a tour of Konoha Village.
Though he had obligations at the Ninja Academy, where his lessons were supposed to resume after his mission, he decided to fulfill the request first.
When Pakura found out Kazuyama was a teacher, she looked genuinely surprised.
“You became a teacher at such a young age?”
“What’s that supposed to mean? Haven’t you heard the saying, ‘The skilled become teachers’?”...

Hiruzen looked at the smiling Sakumo and, for a moment, couldn’t discern the man’s true attitude.
Sakumo had always been a loyal supporter. He was highly skilled and served as the Anbu Commander, earning the fearsome reputation of the White Fang of Konoha during the Second Shinobi World War. His achievements were countless. Yet why would someone so successful choose to retire after just one intelligence mission?

Pakura tore off her forehead protector and tossed it onto the Hokage’s desk before dropping onto the sofa. Though her actions suggested surrender, the fiery determination in her eyes said otherwise.

The true terror of Konoha’s White Fang was finally recognized by Kazuyama.
In a complete rage, the White Light Chakra Sabre in his hands had transformed into the scythe of death. Lightning chakra coursed through his body, wrapping around him like an armor of destruction. This use of chakra couldn’t help but remind Kazuyama of the Third and Fourth Raikage. Though the lightning attribute of Sakumo’s chakra wasn’t as overwhelming as theirs, it significantly enhanced his body, pushi...

However, seeing Kazuyama's dumbfounded expression, he was curious how Sunagakure had learned of Pakura's disappearance.

Kazuyama shook his head. He had...

Kazuyama sneaked into Sunagakure a few hours earlier.
Heichi was already fully geared up, waiting for Kazuyama to return and lead him into the village. Their mission was to gather intelligence together, while the rest of the squad remained on guard duty.
