"Again?"
There was no battlefield behind Sakumo, so he wasn’t concerned that the Tailed Beast Ball would harm the Konoha Ninja. He dodged it with a swift movement, knowing only someone insane would dare to slash at the Tailed Beast Ball. This wasn’t a game.
Boom!
The Tailed Beast Ball exploded violently at the spot where Sakumo had just been, startling the Ninja on the battlefield. The massive shockwave from the explosion swept through the area, leaving the surr...

Duy's Leaf Whirlwind was thwarted by an Earth-Style Wall created through the synchronized efforts of several Shadow Guard ninjas. Seizing the opportunity, Pakura launched an attack using her Scorch Release.
Feeling the unsettling heat coursing through his body, Duy swiftly evaded. This woman's techniques are bizarre. Thankfully, Sakumo had briefed him on Pakura's abilities before the mission.
Unable to land her strike, Pakura quickly withdrew into formation. She knew...

While the battle raged here, things were far from peaceful at the Konoha camp.
Not long after the clash with the Iwa Ninjas, Sunagakure received word that Pakura was leading an attack on the Konoha camp. The intent was clear—wipe out Konoha’s remaining forces. Sunagakure feared that if Konoha solidified its advantage, they would be unable to withstand the coming onslaught.
With the Iwa Ninjas at the front keeping Konoha occupied, the Sunagakure forces seized the opportunity to...

After Kawakaze finished speaking, he had no intention of giving Son Gokū a chance to recover. The Tailed Beast's formidable recovery ability was not to be underestimated. Kawakaze could feel his Senjutsu Chakra running low; it wouldn’t last much longer. If this dragged on, the difficulty of killing Son Gokū would only increase.
“Sage Art: Heavenly Thunder of the Nine Skies.”
Several lightning bolts as thick as an arm crashed down from the sky, striking Son Gokū squarely. ...

"Run!"
Kawakaze and Ōnoki let out simultaneous cries of alarm.
The Ninjas on the battlefield all felt an overwhelming threat at once. Son Gokū wasn’t here to entertain them with harmless tricks—this was deadly serious. There was only one conclusion: they were going to be killed.
The Konoha and Iwa ninjas abandoned their fights, fleeing in every direction without exception. Tsunade, quick to react, immediately withdrew from Son Gokū's attack range.
In a flash, a ...

Kawakaze stunned everyone by seriously injuring Son Gokū with a single strike. No one could have imagined that such a massive beast as the Four-Tails could be subdued with just one sword in his hand.
The Konoha ninja, who had previously only heard of Kawakaze's legendary battle feats, were electrified by the sight.
Even the Third Hokage might not be capable of such overwhelming combat power. With someone like this on our side, how could we possibly lose?
The Iwa ni...

“Rock Fist Technique.”
Ōnoki, cornered by Tsunade, had no choice but to fight. His right fist was instantly encased in rock as he prepared to retaliate. Knowing the devastating power of her strange strength, he reinforced his attack by combining it with the Added-Weight Rock Technique.
“Ahhh!” Tsunade yelled as their fists collided.
An invisible shockwave rippled out from the point of impact. Both fighters were sent hurtling backward, their formidable strength evenl...

Even the fiercest warrior cannot endure endless attrition. When his comrades fall, an Iwa ninja always feels that his turn is inevitable.
After a brief skirmish, the Iwa ninja adjusted his tactics, retreating from close combat with the Konoha ninja. Both sides transitioned into a ninjutsu exchange, except for the Iwa fighters skilled in taijutsu, who continued battling in close quarters.
Kawakaze advanced steadily, showing no eagerness to attack. Yet, wherever he went, the Iwa nin...

After they finished eating, the group chatted for a while. As the evening deepened into night, they slowly dispersed, aware that their carefree days were nearing an end.
To give Konoha's ninja a better chance of victory, Tsunade began producing large quantities of poison. As a skilled Medical-nin, she was well-versed in poisons and antidotes. Though it was something she would normally find distasteful, necessity left her no choice. Konoha’s forces were significantly outnumbered by the...

Land of Rain, Konoha camp.
Tsunade and her group finally reunited with Sakumo after a long and arduous journey. The sky was beginning to clear, but the sunlight remained cold and unwelcoming. Puddles of water dotted the area, remnants of the persistent rain.
Sakumo had meticulously prepared the campsite, ensuring the large group could settle in immediately without needing to set up their own tents. For a time, the camp bustled with activity. Clan leaders worked hard to keep their ...

A pleasant lunch concluded, and the members of the expedition were finalized. Sakumo set off with the advance guard, which included representatives from each clan. Kawakaze and Tsunade accompanied them to see them off.
At the town's entrance, there was no one in front of the Land of Fire.
“Sakumo, have a safe trip,” Tsunade said, offering her blessings. Sakumo was always at the forefront of dangerous missions.

At noon the following day, the radiant Tsunade summoned the heads of each clan for an important meeting. The gathering was primarily intended to gauge the attitudes of the clans, ensuring Tsunade had a clear understanding before making further arrangements.
A renowned five-story restaurant in town was fully booked by Konoha for the occasion. The establishment's owner, upon r...

A few days passed, and reinforcements from Konoha began to arrive, all on the same day. The Uchiha Clan seemed to be competing with the Hyūga Clan, as both were the first teams to reach the frontlines. They were warmly received by Tsunade.
Kawakaze was slightly taken aback upon seeing the Uchiha Clan Head. He hadn’t expected someone in his position to show such boldness. Which Clan Head isn’t safe back in the village, staying behind closed doors? Yet here he is, the first to st...

“Who are you throwing your temper at?”
Kawakaze didn't hold back against Sakumo, striking straight to the point.
This stirred up a hornet's nest, as the two seemed more intent on showing off than by spending time together.

Early the next morning, Kawakaze and Tsunade woke up and took the two kids out for breakfast. Since they hadn’t stayed up late, waking early was natural.
They headed to the noodle shop around the corner. The shop owner clearly remembered Kawakaze from the last visit, particularly the memorable order of ten oysters.
After everyone made their selections, the owner slyly asked, “Sir, would you like some more oysters? They’re fresh.”
Kawakaze immediately caught on, his e...

A few days later, the last of the Konoha troops arrived at the border town in the Land of Fire.
“We've finally arrived.”
The moment they entered the town, Kawakaze stretched, looking content. Though they hadn’t encountered any pursuers on the way, the constant rain in the Land of Rain had been tiresome. Now, they could finally rest.
“First, let’s take care of the wounded, then we’ll eat,” Tsunade said.
She glanced at Kawakaze, whose disheveled appearance ...

Nawaki immediately regretted his quick-wittedness as another large bump formed on his head.
Kawakaze hadn’t heard about this yet.

Kawakaze knew Tsunade was laughing at him. Glancing back, he casually fixed his hair.

If Kawakaze, wearing only his backless combat uniform, was already amusing, his attempt to save face by fixing his hair made him even funnier. Tsunade laughed out loud without restraint.

Kokuō, restricted in movement, grew increasingly agitated. The more he struggled, the deeper he sank, now half-submerged in the swamp. A larger Tailed Beast Ball condensed in his mouth, radiating an overwhelming amount of Chakra. This one had taken longer to form and was significantly larger, making its destructive power far greater.
The Tailed Beast Ball was aimed directly at Ōnoki. Despite his rage clouding his judgment, Kokuō had identified the one responsible for restricting his ...

Ōnoki's Dust Release struck the Rock Golem with pinpoint precision. The massive construct dissolved into nothingness within the translucent barrier, taking Kawakaze's sword with it.

At the same moment, Kawakaze's Heavenly Thunder of the Nine Skies descended from above. Ōnoki, still finishing his Dust Release, had no time to evade. His expression shifted drastic...

The division among the clans was evident, with the Uchiha and Hyūga Clans fielding the largest numbers.
