====

Within three days, Homura brought a team of ninja reinforcements to the frontline camp.

Upon arrival, Homura learned that Tsunade had also come to the frontlines and had healed most of the wounded with her Slug Technique.

Homura breathed a sigh of relief and said to Tsunade, "Since you're here, you might as well stay. The village needs your strength now. However, since you're here, I'll have the medical team I brought go to the camp in the Land of Grass."

Just Tsunade alone was worth three medical squads, so there was no need for the medical team he brought.

"Tsunade, now is not the time for nonsense!"

Seeing Tsunade turn her head without responding, Homura spoke again, this time more sternly.

Tsunade frowned unhappily upon hearing this, but before she could retort, Yoichi spoke up first.

"Don't worry, Elder Homura. No one doubts Tsunade-sama's resolve to protect the village. She rushed here from the Land of Tea as soon as she heard about the war. Her actions have already proven everything."

Yoichi's words both countered Homura and pleased Tsunade, who felt understood. If she were being frivolous, she would have hidden away instead of coming to the battlefield to treat patients despite her hemophobia.

Tsunade then gave Homura a cold snort and said no more.

At this moment, Sakumo spoke up, "Elder Homura, what does the village plan to do?"

Although they had brought reinforcements, they were still at a disadvantage against the forces of the Hidden Cloud. However, with Yoichi here, a counterattack might be possible!

"The village has no specific plan. The command of the frontline is still up to you, Sakumo-kun."

Homura asked upon seeing Sakumo's expression, "How are your injuries?"

Hatake Sakumo replied, "Much better, thanks to Tsunade's medical ninjutsu. I should be fully recovered in five or six days."

This was the effect of a top-tier medical ninja. Normally, a penetrating shoulder wound that damaged the bone would take at least two months to heal. But Tsunade's medical ninjutsu shortened this recovery time tenfold, allowing Sakumo to recover in just five or six days.

"Orochimaru, Yoichi-kun, do you have any ideas?"

Orochimaru shook his head and said, "I don't have any specific thoughts. Let's see what Yoichi-kun plans to do." Since he had given up on becoming Hokage, Orochimaru had no intention of taking the spotlight. He could fill in the gaps, but he wouldn't take the lead.

"The camp we previously left behind should be too small to accommodate the Hidden Cloud. And although the Hidden Stone and Hidden Cloud have allied, it has only been for two months."

Yoichi rubbed his chin thoughtfully and said, "The Hidden Stone wouldn't mix with the Hidden Cloud. I'll find a chance to sneak in and only kill the Hidden Stone ninjas. This might be enough to break their alliance."

"No, that's too dangerous!"

Tsunade immediately objected upon hearing this, "How can you just go into the enemy camp? Even if you succeed, it will be hard to get out. That's a death mission."

Orochimaru chuckled at Tsunade and said, "If it's Yoichi-kun, it might be possible. But he needs to recover first and confirm the positions of the Hidden Stone. I can have the Hyuga and Yamanaka clans' ninjas get close."

Seeing that Orochimaru also agreed, Tsunade glared at him, "Orochimaru!"

"Tsunade, don't be hasty. I say this because I've seen Yoichi-kun's strength. He can do it. If Yoichi-kun succeeds in his sneak attack, he might scatter the Hidden Cloud. But to break the alliance between the Hidden Stone and Hidden Cloud, it's best not to kill any Hidden Cloud ninjas."

Orochimaru smiled as he spoke.

If Yoichi turned into a rampaging Godzilla, it might drive the Hidden Stone and Hidden Cloud closer together, possibly forming a tighter alliance for the next decade, continuously opposing Konoha.

Unless they had the power to wipe out both villages in one go, it was best to focus on splitting the two villages apart first.

Seeing Tsunade looking at him, Yoichi nodded and said, "I have a trump card. I can protect myself. The hard part is finding the exact locations of the Hidden Stone ninjas."

Tsunade now had over 85 points of affection for him. Although she constantly called him a brat, if something happened to Yoichi, she would be deeply affected, and her hemophobia would worsen.

To break through 90 points, he needed to fulfill his promise to Tsunade. After that, there would be no problem!

"I can use summoning snakes to send the Hyuga and Yamanaka clan ninjas in. If you want, Yoichi-kun."

"I'll pass. Have them confirm the locations first and summon me near the camp."

Yoichi shook his head. He guessed Orochimaru's method: having the snake swallow them and then crawl underground to release them.

The Hidden Cloud, lacking strong reconnaissance abilities like the Byakugan, would have a hard time detecting this method.

"Hmm, I might have another stealth method that could be smoother. But I need to ask first."

Yoichi said. Hearing Orochimaru mention summoning snakes, he thought of the stealth techniques of the three snake princesses in Ryūchi Cave, especially Ichikishimahime, whose invisibility could even hide her presence.

If not for the Sharingan seeing chakra, any chakra-bearing creature couldn't escape its sight, making it hard for him to detect Ichikishimahime.

And the Hidden Cloud had no Dōjutsu like the Sharingan. If Ichikishimahime could help him, killing those Hidden Stone ninjas would be even easier.

After discussing the details, Uchiha Yoichi decided to start the infiltration the next night. Orochimaru chose a strong ninja from the Yamanaka clan and one from the Hyuga clan.

These two ninjas needed to be strong, with long-range vision and mind transfer techniques. The previous messenger, Yamanaka Inojin, was strong but killed by the Hidden Cloud during the retreat.

Homura had no objections. He found this plan feasible and didn't require too many ninjas. Success would bring benefits, and failure wouldn't be too costly.

After leaving the meeting tent, Tsunade followed Yoichi back to her resting tent and suddenly asked, "Brat, are you making me win a bet?"

"You too, Tsunade-sama."

Yoichi tilted his head and smiled, "Don't play too much and forget what a ninja should do. When I become Hokage, you'll be my assistant, working from dawn till dusk!"

"Hmph, big talk, brat!"

Tsunade snorted coldly and entered the tent, but Yoichi's words made her feel a bit more at ease.

That night, Yoichi went outside the camp and used the summoning technique.

With a puff of smoke, a white-dressed girl charged at Yoichi, looking like she had a big grudge.

But Yoichi wrapped himself in lightning and said to Ichikishimahime, "If you want revenge, wait a bit. I have something important to ask you!"

Ichikishimahime, taken aback by Yoichi's sudden serious expression, floated in the air with her arms crossed and asked, "What is it?"

"I need your invisibility ability. Can you lend it to me or help me sneak in?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Yoichi's request, Ichikishimahime angrily put her hands on her hips, "Human wars have nothing to do with me. I refuse!"

She almost got tricked by this human. What's so important about this!

"Just consider it a favor. I'll owe you one. You can ask for anything."

"Really?"

"Except eating me, and I won't send others for you to eat either!"

"Then what use are you!?"

"Then I'll ask the other two snake princesses. They seem easier to talk to."

After saying that, Uchiha Yoichi prepared to summon Shinya and have it reverse summon him to Ryūchi Cave.

But upon hearing this, Ichikishimahime quickly floated in front of him and said, "What use are they? I'm the best at invisibility. Fine, you owe me one. I'll help you this time."

"But you won't master it in a day. Call me out when you need help again."

"Then I'll call you tomorrow."

With that, Yoichi ended the summoning technique. Ichikishimahime tried to say something but was sent back.

...

The next day.

Orochimaru had found the ninjas, the strongest from the Hyuga and Yamanaka clans in the camp. After explaining the mission, they prepared for the night.

Ninjas wouldn't sleep too deeply, ready to fight at the slightest movement.

But night was better than day, providing some chance of a sneak attack, unlike the day when there was no chance at all.

Near dusk, Orochimaru, Yoichi, Yamanaka Kenji, and Hyuga Shinichi traveled for hours to the vicinity of their previous camp.

Earlier, they had used the Byakugan to avoid a Hidden Cloud patrol team. Going further would mean more patrols.

Uchiha Yoichi stopped and said, "It's up to you now, Orochimaru-senpai. I have a following method."

He then used the summoning technique to summon Ichikishimahime.

"You... Orochimaru?"

Ichikishimahime, seeing Orochimaru and Yoichi's gesture for silence, coldly snorted and didn't make a fuss.

Orochimaru didn't expect Yoichi to summon a Ryūchi Cave snake princess. But it made sense; Ichikishimahime had the best invisibility skills among the three snake princesses. Orochimaru had passed the second test by fulfilling her request.

Orochimaru then summoned two special snakes and said to Kenji and Shinichi, "Endure this."

The snakes swallowed the two ninjas, then shrunk to three feet long and burrowed underground.

"Let's follow them."

Yoichi said to Ichikishimahime. He wondered how she would help him with invisibility.

"Stay within my Sage Chakra."

Ichikishimahime floated onto Yoichi's back like a backpack, releasing Sage Chakra to make them invisible.

Even in Sage Mode, Orochimaru couldn't sense them.

"Not even Sage Mode can detect them. Yoichi-kun, you're perfectly invisible."

After Orochimaru spoke, it remained silent.

"Already gone?"

Wrapped in Ichikishimahime's Sage Chakra, Yoichi felt nothing unusual, though her presence on his back was odd.

The snake princess had no human propriety, hugging tightly, and Yoichi could clearly feel her.

Ichikishimahime occasionally flicked her snake tongue at his neck, making Yoichi grip her sock-covered foot in warning before continuing.

When they got close to the camp, the snakes found a hidden spot just patrolled and released Kenji and Shinichi.

Covered in mucus, they knew the method was effective, but Yoichi preferred not to use it.

Hyuga Shinichi activated his Byakugan, and Yamanaka Kenji used a clan secret technique to link their minds, sharing Shinichi's vision with Yoichi.

Shinichi's Byakugan could see two kilometers, covering most of the camp. If they didn't find the Hidden Stone ninjas here, they'd search around the camp.

Luckily, after a while, Shinichi located the Hidden Stone. At the same time, Yoichi knew their location.

With the location set, he moved into the camp.

Invisible, scentless, and undetectable, Ichikishimahime's ability made Uchiha Yoichi a ghost.

Avoiding the Hidden Cloud, Yoichi approached the Hidden Stone tents.

About sixty ninjas, no more than three per tent. Killing one would alert the others, but none were his match up close. Once alarmed, they'd just be targets.

Planning his approach, Uchiha Yoichi entered a tent.

"Who?"

Lightning Blade severed a throat instantly.

"Enemy!"

Seeing their comrade fall, the other two shouted and tried to form seals.

Too slow!

[News! I've Already Confronted the Five Kage, and the System Just Arrived! Event!!!]

<150 Power Stones/Chapter!>

====

When Yoichi started his attack, Ichikishimahime let go and floated outside to hide.

Otherwise, with Yoichi's body wrapped in Lightning Release Chakra, she would be completely paralyzed by the electricity.

"Earth Release..."

With a puff, Yoichi's blade pierced the heart of an Iwagakure ninja, followed by a surge of lightning, sending the ninja straight to hell.

Another Iwagakure ninja had already started to use a jutsu, which would take time to chase.

Wood Clone!

Yoichi created four wood clones. One wood clone using Lightning Release Chakra Mode charged directly at the Iwagakure ninja, continuously killing them with speed and sharp blade techniques.

Meanwhile, Yoichi and three other wood clones used Earth Release to burrow underground, reaching the four corners around the Iwagakure camp.

The large Iwagakure camp was already in chaos. Under Kitsuchi's leadership, many Iwagakure ninjas gathered, preparing to encircle and kill Yoichi's wood clone.

This just made it easier for Yoichi's next jutsu. He and the three wood clones formed hand seals simultaneously, causing the ground to shake violently.

"Mokuton: Jukai Kōtan!"

A vast, dense forest erupted from the ground, surging towards the center of the Iwagakure camp from the four corners.

"It's Mokuton! Attack with jutsu and explosive tags to fend it off!"

Kitsuchi shouted in panic, quickly forming hand seals, "Earth Release: Earth Spears!"

He knew that Earth Release defenses couldn't withstand Mokuton. Only offensive jutsu breaking the giant trees could stop the attack.

After he used his jutsu, the ground erupted with sharp stone spears, extending nearly a hundred meters forward, clashing with Jukai Kōtan.

However, after only a few seconds, the Earth Spears were shredded by Jukai Kōtan.

"Earth Release: Rock Staff!"

"Earth Release: Rock Pillars!"

"Earth Release: Stone Dragon!"

Numerous Earth Release jutsu and explosive tags were thrown at the massive tree roots, but their counterattacks only slightly slowed the assault. Earth Release jutsu were less effective than explosive tags in halting the trees.

Soon, Jukai Kōtan forced the Iwagakure ninjas to scatter.

At this moment, Yoichi sensed a large number of Hidden Cloud ninjas approaching, especially one moving at high speed.

In the next second, Yoichi created several more wood clones to continue killing Iwagakure ninjas, while his main body wrapped in Lightning Release Chakra, sped towards the direction of the incoming threat.

However, after just a few hundred meters, Yoichi was intercepted by a group of Hidden Cloud ninjas.

"It's Konoha's Lightning Fang! He's here!"

A Hidden Cloud ninja shouted, just as the others were preparing to release their jutsu. They suddenly saw a white-haired girl appear, flying towards Yoichi and hugging him before they both vanished.

"Disappeared?"

"Where is he? Sensor ninja!"

"Moei-senpai, I've used my sensing jutsu, but I can't detect anyone ahead!"

"Damn it, bombard the area with jutsu!"

Under the command of the Hidden Cloud's Moei, numerous jutsu and a barrage of explosive tags and shuriken blanketed the area, not even sparing an ant.

After two rounds of bombardment, there was still no sign of Konoha's Lightning Fang.

"Where is he?"

Moei asked, eyes wide. The sensor ninja quickly responded, "Moei-senpai, I can't sense Lightning Fang's presence. He might have already..."

"A!"

A figure surrounded by lightning appeared, emanating a furious aura, immediately asking, "Where is Lightning Fang?"

Moei quickly reported, "A-sama, we had intercepted Lightning Fang here, but a white-haired girl suddenly appeared, hugged him, and they disappeared. I ordered a jutsu bombardment, but there was no sign of Lightning Fang."

Hearing this, A's anger grew even more intense.

In the middle of the night, this bastard infiltrated, caused havoc, and left unscathed?

"There must be someone assisting nearby. Form teams of twenty and search! Signal upon discovery!"

A ordered angrily, and the surrounding Hidden Cloud ninjas responded in unison, "Yes, A-sama."

They quickly split into three teams, dispersing in three directions to search.

Meanwhile, in the Iwagakure camp, the Mokuton forest gradually stopped as Yoichi's wood clones ran out of chakra and were defeated by the arriving Hidden Cloud ninjas.

Only the last wood clone was cornered by Kitsuchi and the Iwagakure ninjas. The clone spat fiercely and pretended to be unwilling, "Not the Eight-Tails' location, guess Killer B got lucky!"

"What did you say?"

Kitsuchi was filled with questions but had no time to react before Yoichi's wood clone turned into a wooden sculpture as its chakra depleted.

"Damn it!"

An enraged Kitsuchi kicked the wooden sculpture to pieces and quickly ordered, "Rescue the injured!"

The surrounding massive tree roots from Jukai Kōtan had forced them to scatter and escape. With Lightning Fang killing them, Kitsuchi had no choice but to first deal with Yoichi's wood clones.

Moreover, Yoichi's last words left Kitsuchi feeling uneasy.

Was Lightning Fang after the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki? It made sense since a Jinchuriki posed the greatest threat on the battlefield. Without a Jinchuriki, the war would be prolonged; Lightning Fang's strength might even drive them out of the Land of Fire.

But why was he searching the Iwagakure camp for the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki? Did he interrogate the Hidden Cloud? With his Mangekyō Sharingan, did the Hidden Cloud mislead Konoha's ninjas, saying Killer B was resting in their camp, to lure Konoha into attacking them?

The Hidden Cloud might not know if Konoha's ninjas would infiltrate, but they could have given false information to reduce the Eight-Tails' risk. If Konoha's ninjas didn't come, nothing would happen. 'Is this the Hidden Cloud's strategy?'

Kitsuchi clenched his fists in fury; this was only his personal speculation, but Yoichi's expression and their newly built camp, with their own patrols outside, raised doubts.

"Kitsuchi-sama..."

An Iwagakure ninja approached, solemnly reporting, "Three patrol teams lost one, and we have fifteen survivors."

"How many?"

Kitsuchi nearly fainted hearing this.

They had sixty-six people in total, now only fifteen were left. This one attack had cost them nearly fifty lives?

"Konoha's Lightning Fang!"

Kitsuchi's anger almost made him bite his tongue off. Bringing Iwagakure's elite to aid the Hidden Cloud, with Han and Roshi dead on the battlefield, and now losing so many elite ninjas to Lightning Fang.

The losses were severe.

And the Hidden Cloud's actions, with such heavy casualties, they were still in the Hidden Cloud's territory. Kitsuchi couldn't investigate. Soon, A returned after the fruitless pursuit, feeling uneasy seeing only a dozen Iwagakure ninjas, he quickly asked, "Kitsuchi-san, what about the other Iwagakure friends?"

"We will return to the Land of Earth tomorrow. This operation ends here."

Kitsuchi said, ordering the remaining Iwagakure ninjas to gather the bodies and take them back. Ninja corpses were valuable, containing chakra pathways and residual chakra, useful for studying jutsu.

Those capable would always retrieve their village's ninja corpses. Only in situations like Konoha's earlier defeat, where they couldn't take the bodies, would they be left behind.

"Kitsuchi..."

A wanted to call out but didn't know what to say. Iwagakure had already sacrificed a lot for this war, with over sixty ninjas reduced to so few.

If he forced Kitsuchi to stay, they would fall out with Iwagakure. If Kitsuchi returned, what would his father do? 'Must inform Father to find a way to return quickly!'

A felt a hostility from Kitsuchi. Though Lightning Fang attacked Iwagakure, it had nothing to do with the Hidden Cloud.

On the other side.

Yoichi, held by Ichikishimahime, flew out of the Hidden Cloud camp, avoiding the Hidden Cloud's jutsu.

Yamanaka Kenji and Hyuga Shinichi had burrowed into the summoning snake's belly, escaping underground.

"See, human, our Ryuchi Cave's power? Walking boldly before humans, undetected..."

"I saw clearly, your Sage Jutsu is useless against dojutsu."

Yoichi's words choked Ichikishimahime, who glared at him and continued, "You promised to owe me a favor. I want it now."

"Wait until we're safe. I won't go back on my word. Why rush?"

Yoichi cut her off. This little snake girl clung too tightly, with a soft pressure against him, and wrapped around him like a snake.

Moreover, she smelled nice, oddly enough. After Ichikishimahime dropped him by Orochimaru, she floated triumphantly beside Yoichi, "Now, my favor. I want to suck your... wait, why are you forming seals?"

"I'll repay next time. Contract dismissed!"

Yoichi ended the summoning, sending Ichikishimahime back, avoiding repaying a summoning beast in front of others, which would be embarrassing.

Orochimaru asked, "Yoichi-kun, how did it go?"

"Smoothly. Only a fifth of the Iwagakure ninjas survived. I subtly sowed discord between Iwagakure and the Hidden Cloud before my clone dissipated. Let's see if they believe it."

"The mission's a success. Iwagakure won't be seen on this battlefield. Whether they distrust the Hidden Cloud is up to luck."

Orochimaru smiled, acknowledging that human nature was unpredictable. This outcome exceeded expectations.

Truly, Lightning Fang hadn't failed a mission!

The four returned to the Konoha camp, arriving at dawn.

Tsunade, Sakumo, and Homura had waited all night. Sakumo was ready for battle, supported by Tsunade, but opposed by Homura.

"The mission was a success. Iwagakure ninjas won't be seen here again."

Yoichi reported, shocking everyone, especially Homura.

Infiltrating nearly three thousand strong camp, killing dozens of Iwagakure ninjas, and returning unscathed.

All this, accomplished solo by Yoichi! Ichikishimahime was considered part of his strength, being summoned meant part of his power.

Homura couldn't comprehend Yoichi's growing power. Even during Konoha's defeat, Yoichi hadn't lost, killing two perfect Jinchuriki before leaving.

Infiltrating a thousand-strong camp, killing dozens, and escaping unharmed.

No failed missions, scaring Hidden Cloud ninjas into fleeing at his sight. If he competed for Hokage, what would Hiruzen do? Homura pondered the village's internal situation, as battlefield conditions improved; Yoichi's youth was his only weakness.

He needed to discuss this with Hiruzen, as letting a militaristic Uchiha become Hokage would betray Tobirama-sensei's will.

Sakumo, oblivious to Homura's thoughts, said, "Good work, Yoichi-kun, Orochimaru. Rest now, I'll handle the rest."

Despite handing command to Homura due to injuries, Sakumo couldn't relax, burdened with concerns.

"Leave it to you, Sakumo-senpai."

Yoichi smiled at Tsunade before leaving, making her slightly annoyed, excusing herself to rest.

Orochimaru watched her leave, guessing Jiraiya wouldn't stand a chance. Mixed with toads, if he heard, he'd drink himself silly.
