"Do we really have to help Hanzō deal with that Akatsuki organization?" Aburame Ryōma asked after they left Amegakure. He had heard the condition Hanzō had mentioned; it sounded simple enough, something Hanzō could handle himself, but why leave it to them?

"Before we came, the Root had already gathered some intelligence on Amegakure. It seems that the Akatsuki organization was spontaneously formed by some ninjas from the Rain. They appear to be seeking peace through negotiations with major countries."

"Hanzō is wary of such an organization?" Danzō paused, finding it somewhat unbelievable. Hanzō was a ninja revered as a demigod; although Amegakure had lost to Konoha and Sunagakure in the last war, Hanzō himself had not been defeated.

Now he was apprehensive about such a foolish organization within his own country, to the extent that he needed their Root's assistance to eliminate them?

"At this time, we really can't spare any personnel for other tasks. Let's just investigate and stall for now," Danzō told Ryōma. Root's resources were entirely focused on the other major ninja villages; they were not there to assist Hanzō but to use his power.

They would consider it after defeating Sunagakure, as agreed upon when the alliance was formed—that other conditions would be fulfilled only after defeating Sunagakure.

...

In Konoha, at the Hokage Office:

Koharu arrived and said directly to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Hiruzen, the Konoha Hospital is nearly full. We should clear out the nearby houses in case the front lines flare up again and more wounded are brought back."

"So soon?" Hiruzen was surprised by the rapid developments, especially since a large-scale conflict with Kumogakure in the east had not yet begun.

"Kikyō Castle sent in seventy to eighty severely injured at once. You know how big the Konoha Hospital is and how quickly we're using up medical supplies. I'm not even sure if we can get more from Iwagakure," Koharu complained to Hiruzen, "You shouldn't have let Tsunade leave. Hemophobia is just an excuse, you know her capabilities better than anyone; even if she's afraid of blood, she could still perform healing with the help of her slugs!"

Hemophobia is merely a psychological trauma triggered by the sight of blood, but even without looking, Tsunade's medical ninjutsu is still the best in Konoha.

There were so many ways, yet Hiruzen agreed to let her go, significantly increasing the medical pressure on Konoha.

After all, Tsunade alone could change the course of a battlefield with her medical skills.

Hiruzen smoked silently, not responding. Koharu made it sound easy, but Tsunade had been talking about leaving for over a year, and Koharu hadn't spoken up to stop her.

If it were possible to keep her, Hiruzen would have already done so; among his three students, Tsunade was the hardest to persuade.

"Discussing this now is pointless. Isn't Uzumaki Mina among the medical ninjas now? Tsunade spoke highly of her, and she performed well in Kikyō Castle."

"Her talent is undeniable, but she has only studied medical ninjutsu for less than two years. She can only save one person at a time," Koharu argued, then suggested, "Hiruzen, why not have Mina sign a summoning contract with the slugs to learn their split treatment? That would allow us to call back a few medical ninjas from Kikyō Castle, easing the pressure on Konoha Hospital."

"So that was your idea, Koharu."

Hiruzen thought for a moment. If Tsunade could pass down the slug split treatment technique, it would indeed benefit Konoha greatly. However, given Tsunade's temperament, he couldn't guarantee it.

"I'll send someone to ask Tsunade, but these things can't be rushed. If Tsunade didn't teach it while she was here, don't hold out too much hope now."

While Hiruzen and Koharu were discussing, someone came to the door.

"Let them in," said Hiruzen, and it turned out to be Fugaku.

"Fugaku, what brings you here?" Hiruzen asked.

"I have two things to discuss with you, Lord Third. First, the Anbu recently captured four spies and seven suspected foreign village spies; they've been handed over to the interrogation team. Second, it concerns a private matter of the Uchiha clan; we are looking to purchase this land."

As he spoke, Fugaku spread out a map on Hiruzen's desk.

"Buy land?"

Hiruzen listened more closely to the second matter, since the spies were already being handled by the interrogation team.

"This area seems undeveloped and it's near the village's edge. Fugaku, what do you plan to do with this land?"

"We want to build a comprehensive market and a commercial area to meet the daily needs of the clan and the villagers. This was decided earlier by the clan, but I've been busy with the Anbu, so I'm only bringing it up now with you, Lord Third."

Fugaku explained eloquently, although the truth was that Yōichi had delayed bringing it up.

After Yōichi had finalized the details, Mikoto had found a construction team, and today Fugaku finally approached the Third Hokage.

Mikoto could have handled it by paying for the land and allowing the construction team into the village.

But Fugaku wanted to be involved, representing the Uchiha clan rather than Yōichi alone, thus the presentation.

"That sounds like a good initiative; I agree. For the details, please discuss them with Homura."

Hiruzen spoke, familiar with business as the Sarutobi clan also had profitable ventures, although rarely in Konoha.

Given the small population of Konoha, big moves were likely to lose money, but Hiruzen didn't dwell on this, as he had many other matters to attend to daily.

After getting approval, Fugaku met with Homura to discuss the price and sign the contract before heading home.

The success of the commercial district was a result of Fugaku's leadership and negotiation with the village, which would boost his prestige at the next clan meeting.

When Fugaku returned home, Mikoto, dressed in a fitted dress, came out to greet him. "Fugaku, is it done?"

"Yes, it's five million. After we pay, construction can start. Mikoto, mention this at the next clan meeting."

"Discuss it now? Shouldn't we wait until it's built?"

"Let's talk about it at the next meeting."

Mikoto didn't think much of it and said, "Fugaku, I need to leave the village tomorrow. Please finalize this quickly."

"Is it urgent?" Uchiha Fugaku asked.

"Not really urgent, just that there's nothing else lately. What's wrong, Fugaku?"

Mikoto paused, realizing she was indeed rushing. But thinking of what Yōichi had entrusted to her, she felt an inexplicable urge to complete it quickly.

She had that dream again yesterday, and the recurring dream over the past few days was blurring the lines between reality and fantasy.

In her dreams, she and Sasuke lived with Yōichi, sending Sasuke to school and watching him play with his father while she cooked dinner.

In her dreams, she and her husband, Yōichi, were still passionately in love, as if their marriage of six or seven years couldn't dampen his enthusiasm.

"Mikoto, are you alright?"

"No, I'm fine, Fugaku. If there's nothing else, I'll go prepare my things."

Mikoto was startled out of her thoughts by Fugaku's voice, answering him with a slight panic before hurrying to the study.

Fugaku watched her leave, frowning slightly before sighing. "Sorry, Mikoto, hang in there a little longer."

He knew Mikoto had been sleeping poorly recently, often waking up startled at night, and still had so much to do during the day. But as long as he could suppress Yōichi's influence, he would make it up to Mikoto later.

---

"It's Konoha's Lighting Fang! Run, get the message back!"

Several Kumogakure ninjas on a covert mission suddenly encountered three Konoha ninjas. Seeing the leader, the captain of the Kumogakure team panicked and shouted.

As Konoha's greatest enemy and a person marked for death by the Third Raikage, Yōichi's appearance and characteristics were well known throughout Kumogakure.

Any Kumogakure captain would need to send a message upon sighting Konoha's Lighting Fang.

But they had no chance!

Zzzt!

A sound of thunder rang out, and just as the Kumogakure captain began to form hand seals for a jutsu, a blade wrapped in lightning appeared in his view.

Pfft!

The blade pierced his heart, causing intense pain, and in that moment, all his strength seemed to drain away.

"So fast."

After uttering these words, the Kumogakure ninja's vision filled with darkness as he died.

Yōichi withdrew Raijin, glanced at the fleeing Kumogakure ninjas, then created two shadow clones, disappearing from the spot with a flash of lightning.

After he left, three Konoha ninjas approached to handle the body.

"The captain's strength is incredible. We didn't even get a chance to engage."

"Of course, just look at our respective skills. This squad is dedicated to serving Captain Yōichi."

Inuzuka Daiki spoke up, "Hyūga Kira, your Byakugan for scouting the enemy, I'm from the Inuzuka clan, and there's Ido-kun, who knows some medical ninjutsu and barrier techniques. Our job is just to help the captain locate the enemy and clean up the tracks."

"Is there any intelligence on him?"

"Nothing but ninja tools. There are no traps in the tool pouch either, so it looks like we can resupply, though I don't have much need for anything. I've hardly used any kunai these past few days."

Ido Yamari spoke, passing the tool pouch to the others; he had already disposed of the unsafe soldier pills and scrolls, leaving only kunai, shuriken, and exploding tags.

Kira shook his head, not needing the tools. Daiki, however, took the pouch and extracted the exploding tags, "I'll take these exploding tags. I used up some making traps the other day, perfect for a refill."

Daiki remarked, "I used to think the legend of Konoha's Lighting Fang was a bit exaggerated, but seeing Captain Yōichi in action, it seems we might have underestimated his abilities. That Jōnin from Kumogakure didn't last long against him."

Kira added, "The captain's speed is too great, plus his body control and swordsmanship. Most ninjas can't react in time."

He has the Byakugan, which allows him to see the flow of chakra within the body. In his observation, Yōichi's chakra flow was four times faster than theirs.

Kira couldn't imagine the pain associated with such rapid chakra flow; increasing his chakra flow to its fastest could cause unbearable pain to his meridians and body.

He couldn't fathom the pain Yōichi might endure with such chakra flow, yet his face showed no sign of it.

Soon, Yōichi returned with three tool pouches, seeing the scattered ninja tools on the ground, realizing they had already been searched.

Daiki spoke up, "Captain, you're back. We've already resupplied, but these guys didn't carry any mission-related intelligence."

"Alright, destroy the bodies and let's move on to the next area," Yōichi said, tossing a tool pouch onto the corpses. The three watched as a fireball struck the bodies and tool pouch, the exploding tags inside igniting instantly.

After leaving the area where they encountered the Kumogakure squad, Yōichi stopped for a moment, then asked, "Do you guys need a break?"

Daiki looked at the other two, then shook his head, "No need, Captain. We hardly exerted ourselves. Just give the orders."

"Finding the enemy is also important. Without you, I couldn't locate them."

Yōichi pulled out a map, inviting the others to gather around. "We've nearly cleared this area, but since the mission has been so light, I don't plan on returning yet. I'm thinking of checking out this area next. What do you think?"

The three exchanged glances, then Kira quietly reminded, "Captain, that area seems to be a supply route for Kumogakure."

"Yes, with you guys, I don't think there's much chance of us getting surrounded by a large force. If we encounter a Kumogakure squad, I'm confident I can ensure your safe return."

With the Flying Thunder God Technique at his disposal, he only needed to hold the enemy off while the others escaped, ensuring his own safety.

"Then we'll follow your lead, Captain. We trust you."

Daiki spoke up. After several days together, they had come to understand Uchiha Yōichi's way of handling things. Although he wasn't very talkative, he took the lead against enemies, handling the strongest targets himself.

And with his formidable strength as a guarantee, unless he was sending them to certain death, Daiki and the others would follow Yōichi's commands.

In just ten days, they had taken down five Kumogakure squads, reinforcing their trust in Yōichi. Out of twenty Kumogakure ninjas, fifteen had fallen to Yōichi's Raijin.

Chapter 116: Chapter 116

During the ten days of mission execution outside, the team subsisted on dry rations to replenish their energy, taking shelter in concealed spots amidst the mountains.

This was nothing out of the ordinary for ninjas. Even the lowest rank Genin, fresh out of the Ninja Academy, would quickly adapt to this routine.

Yoichi, during this period, spent his days targeting and eliminating Cloud ninja. By night, he would go into hiding to rest and recuperate his strength.

Their team also considered hunting Cloud ninja at night, benefiting from their combination of two types of Dōjutsu, Inuzuka clan techniques, and sensory ninja skills, which made the darkness an excellent camouflage.

However, the Cloud ninja were not fools; aware of the Byakugan, a Kekkei Genkai of Konoha, they rarely chose to undertake missions at night. Even those Cloud ninja teams operating outside would find a concealed spot to hide.

This initially led to Yoichi's team wasting a lot of energy at night, eventually causing them to give up on the idea.

At night, Yoichi rarely took turns keeping watch; the task was divided among the three members of Daiki's team. It wasn't due to the privilege of leadership but rather out of their own volition.

Given they had little opportunity to exert themselves against the enemy, if they also had Yoichi, their main force, keeping watch at night, they would have felt like they were not contributing enough to the mission.

Yoichi now employed his Master of Dreams ability every day, wishing he could use this formidable skill twenty-four hours a day.

After entering the dream, the first thing was to have Mina investigate and refine the control seals for the Edo Tensei bodies.

Once she improved the control seals, Yoichi planned to entrust her with experimenting on the enhanced sacrificial rituals.

Mina's expertise in human anatomy and control far exceeded Yoichi's, and at the very least, she could determine the specific reasons behind the failures in merging with Hashirama's cells and document them.

Furthermore, Mina harbored no objections to such experiments. In the realm of dreams, new test subjects would appear as soon as one was used up, and all necessary materials were readily available; hence, her response was somewhat slow, and to this day, she still believed it was all part of her dreams.

However, enduring the same nightmare for over ten consecutive days made Mina slightly doubtful.

Orochimaru's experiments on Hashirama's cells involved sixty children, and in the end, only Yamato survived; thus, Yoichi could have Mina test on three hundred, or even six hundred subjects in the dream space.

With enough time, they could manage thousands of trials to finally discover a method for successfully merging with Hashirama's cells.

After making arrangements with Mina, Yoichi then sought Kushina to assist her in controlling the extraction of chakra from the Nine-Tails; over the past few days, their cooperation had become exceedingly synchronized, and recently, Kushina had also begun attempting to sense the negative emotions within the Nine-Tails' chakra.

With Yoichi by her side, she wasn't afraid of losing control due to the influence of the Nine-Tails' chakra. Once accustomed, Kushina planned to try controlling the Tailed Beast's power on her own.

Over these ten days, Yoichi had already taken a substantial amount of chakra from the Nine-Tails. Kushina often grumbled about it, either hoping that Yoichi's genjutsu would last longer or feeling that he was taking too much chakra.

Yoichi didn't pay much attention to Kushina's complaints. He took as much chakra as he did because he could handle it; those who couldn't, simply had to endure.

After obtaining the Tailed Beast chakra from Kushina, Yoichi would then visit Mikoto in her dreams, playing the role of a loving husband.

This ability, the Master of Dreams, was indeed miraculous; he had grown fond of it. In Mikoto's dreams, he found the only warmth he could feel amidst the perilous battlefields.

Especially since Mikoto had become increasingly bold in her dreams, just yesterday she had embraced Yoichi's head, calling him 'Anata'—a term of endearment.

If not for knowing these were Mikoto's genuine reactions, Yoichi might have thought she was just a figment of the dream he created.

----------------------------

"Doroi-sama!"

In the village of Kumogakure, a young kunoichi reported to the right hand of the Third Raikage after arriving at the Raikage Building, her face filled with excitement: "I've communicated with the Two-Tails, and I've even learned its name!"

"What, Yugito, is this true?"

Doroi was visibly shocked by the mention of Yugito, who had only been a Jinchuriki for less than a month.

To know the name of the Two-Tails in such a short time was extraordinary. Was she a reincarnated friend of the Two-Tails? Although the Two-Tails was less temperamental than the Gyūki, it was still a sealed Tailed Beast, harboring some resentment towards the village of Kumogakure. Even the previous Jinchuriki took two years to gain the Two-Tails' approval.

And the previous Jinchuriki, who never even received Gyūki's acknowledgment, died mysteriously during a Gyūki rampage, leading some to suspect foul play.

"It's true, the Two-Tails, called Matatabi, said it would help me, but I can't use its power yet. Only after rigorous training will I be able to harness it."

Hearing the name 'Matatabi' confirmed by Yugito herself convinced Doroi that she indeed had the recognition of the Two-Tails.

As for not being able to use the Two-Tails' power, that was to be expected. Doroi spoke seriously, "Yugito, you know the current situation in our village. If we want to decisively crush the Leaf Shinobi, we need the help of the Two-Tails, so please communicate well with it, and let it assist us."

"I want to help the village, but I can't use the Two-Tails' power right now."

Yugito could only harness a small fraction of Matatabi's power, showing some of the Tailed Beast's characteristics—that was her limit.

"There's another way, which is to let Matatabi take possession of you, allowing it to take over your body."

Doroi continued, "Although the possession by the Tailed Beast might last only for a short duration, perhaps no more than five minutes, Matatabi's power should be enough to give us a significant advantage on the battlefield."

With the Eight-Tails also persuading, it shouldn't be a problem.

"Then, I'll go and talk to Matatabi. I'll try my best to persuade it."

Yugito nodded, eager to contribute to the village and quickly become a hero.

After Yugito left, Doroi prepared to inform the Third Raikage of this news. If Yugito successfully persuaded Matatabi, then soon Kumogakure's frontline would have two Jinchuriki.

Even if Matatabi could only hold out for a few minutes, that duration would be a terrifying nightmare for the enemy.

Meanwhile, in the Land of Hot Water, the Cloud ninjas gradually realized that their returning comrades were becoming fewer, especially those who went to a certain area and then vanished.

Immediately, Kumogakure dispatched a team to investigate. After searching the area thoroughly, they found eight bodies that were still recognizable as human.

Bringing the bodies back, the Cloud ninjas began analyzing the intelligence gathered.

Soon, the information obtained from the bodies reached the Third Raikage.

A clean kill with a single strike, and the bodies were burned post-mortem, with the fatal wounds mostly located at the left chest and throat.

"It's that Uchiha bastard, it has to be!" the Third Raikage said angrily, his expression grim. The brutal swordsmanship and the use of Fire Release were indicative, although it could also have been other sword-wielding Leaf shinobi.

But the Third Raikage preferred to believe it was Yoichi, who had once broken his arm.

"Father, let us handle that bastard."

A spoke up, "With me and B together, if we encounter him, we'll surely kill him, right, B?"

"Yeah~," Killer Bee rhymed in his typical fashion, confirming his brother's words. "With my bro~, our combo is invincible, yeah!"

"Since you both wish to go, then go ahead and select a few helpers from the camp," the Third Raikage contemplated for a moment before instructing his sons.

While he dearly wanted to personally kill that Uchiha, after thinking it over, he decided to give this opportunity to his son and Killer Bee.

After this war, he also planned to step down from the position of Raikage. Even if Kumogakure could accept a Raikage with a broken arm, he himself could never accept being a Raikage with such a glaring weakness.

"The information I've shared with you about him, once his body emits a purple glow, immediately use speed to make it impossible for him to aim. Once that move hits, it's almost unstoppable."

The Third Raikage warned as he unconsciously glanced at his severed arm. Even the power of the Eight-Tails had only caused a minor injury, but that Uchiha had managed to sever his arm.

"I understand, Father. B and I will be cautious," A assured, before going to the camp to select assistants. They needed sensory ninjas and those skilled in sealing jutsu. Besides them, A and B alone would be sufficient.

The duo, having trained together for nearly ten years, had never faced defeat.

----------------------------

"Minato-kun, are you confident about this?"

Shikaku looked at Minato in shock. If he weren't the deputy commander and a disciple of Jiraiya-sama, he would have dismissed the idea without a second thought.

"Shikaku, Minato has already discussed it with me, and I think there's a chance," Jiraiya spoke up. "The main thing is, even if we're discovered, we can still get out safely."

"Using the Flying Thunder God Technique? To infiltrate the Sand ninja camp, and if discovered, survive a battle, and after all that, how much chakra will you have left, Minato? Even if you manage to teleport away, how far can you get?"

Shikaku knew about Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique. The farther the distance, the more chakra it consumed.

"This mission is to assassinate the enemy's Jinchuriki. Not to mention the probability of failure being nearly 100%, even if you succeed, you could still be chased down by the Sand ninjas. I don't agree with this," Shikaku firmly rejected the plan.

Seeing Shikaku's stern refusal, Minato chuckled sheepishly and then tried to reassure him: "It's not just relying on the Flying Thunder God Technique. If Jiraiya-sensei and I really want to get out of the Sand village, we'll use the Reverse Summoning Technique of Mount Myōboku."

"Yes," Jiraiya continued, "Normally, it's difficult to use this technique, but I've already requested Mount Myoboku's help. So, at the crucial moment, we can definitely retreat. Then, you can summon us back from Kikyo Castle."

The Reverse Summoning Technique required precise timing. Jiraiya planned to carry a small toad with him, which at a critical moment could dissolve the summoning to return to Mount Myōboku, signaling them there.

At that moment, Fukasaku would summon them to Mount Myōboku, and once they were there, the toad left at Kikyo Castle would be summoned back, alerting Shikaku, who would then summon them back.

Although Fukasaku initially hesitated to get involved, Jiraiya's earnest request persuaded him to agree.

"The village hasn't been able to contact Yoichi, and I can't persuade Mina either. If the One-Tail attacks the medical camp again, who will stop it? We have to try this possibility," Jiraiya expressed his helplessness.

Mount Myoboku's giant toads suitable for stalling the One-Tail were limited; only three were available, and two were recovering from injuries. If they had to summon a toad to confront the One-Tail alone, it might even be fatal.

After thinking it over, Shikaku finally asked, "So, what do you need me to do, Jiraiya-sama?"

"Simply draw their forces out in front of their camp, then..."

Jiraiya shared his plan with Shikaku, who, after hearing it, concluded that it was feasible. The most at risk were the two of them, but they had sufficient assurances.

"Alright, I'll start gathering suitable ninjas right now."

The next day, at the River Country's Unra Iron Mines, as dawn broke, the Sand ninjas were pushing the miners to work hard.

These people were civilians from the River Country, so the Sand ninjas used them without any concerns. As long as they didn't die from exhaustion, they were pushed to their limits.

However, suddenly, a giant toad burst forth, wielding huge twin swords at the Unra Iron Mines, slashing at the Sand ninjas. Ordinary Sand ninjas couldn't handle such a massive summoned beast, especially one armed with twin swords.

Behind the toad, over a hundred Leaf ninjas also charged out, making the Sand ninjas think that a major force from Leaf had arrived. Many Sand ninjas retreated strategically after their first engagement.

They were only about sixty in number, significantly fewer than the Leaf forces, not to mention the presence of a giant toad.

News quickly reached the Sand ninja's frontline camp, and soon after, over two hundred Sand ninjas left the camp. A hawk circling in the sky saw this and swiftly conveyed the information to Shikaku, who then relayed it to Jiraiya.

Upon receiving the report, Jiraiya quickly devised a plan to infiltrate. Fortunately, they were in the River Country, with its forests and rivers.

If they were in the deserts of the Wind Country, even a fool would suspect a frog appearing in the desert.

They sneaked past the guards and, after transforming, attacked two Sand ninjas, taking them to the toad's stomach for a thorough interrogation to gather intelligence before moving deeper inside.

With Minato's sensory abilities and Jiraiya's toad summoning skills, they surprisingly managed to infiltrate the Sand ninja camp smoothly.

Then, Jiraiya suddenly appeared, using several large-scale Earth Release techniques to help Minato draw attention, while the latter used his Body Flicker Technique to quickly approach the resting place of the One-Tail's Jinchuriki.

Using the Flying Thunder God Kunai, Minato quickly eliminated two Sand ninja guards at the entrance of the tent and then burst inside, approaching with another Flying Thunder God move before unleashing a Massive Rasengan!

He shattered the puppet sitting on the bed inside the tent.
