“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.”

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.

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.

2025-02-07 14:16:10 +0000 UTC View PostHearing 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!”

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!”

The Third Mizukage had subdued him with ease, sealing his power and carrying him under his arm. They were now heading toward Kirigakure.

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.

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.

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.
