A year has passed.
This has been a relatively peaceful year in the battle between Kumo and Konoha. There were three main reasons for this peace. Suna's withdrawal from the war, Iwa's fight against Kumo, and Yama and Minato joining the battlefield.
Everyone knew about Minato's powers, Yama's popularity also soared after the news that he had killed the seven swordsmen of the Mist spread. Those two along with Jiraiya as well as Pakura put a lot of pressure on Kumo.
Konoha also didn't go after Kumo because of Kiri, Kiri had been targeting Konoha lately so they didn't want to waste manpower by going against Kumo for no reason. There were a few minor clashes between the two sides, but nothing major.
About six months ago.
Yama went off to kill some Kumo Jounin to make some money, because he hadn't stopped doing his job as a bounty hunter. Sometimes he'd go out and hunt down a few jounin ninjas for a few million ryo, but this time he hit someone with a much bigger bounty.
He met the jinchuriki of the eight tails killer bee. Yama had already noticed Bee, but Bee had not yet noticed Yama's presence. Bee was accompanied by two Kumo Jounin.
"Advanced Soru."
Yama was moving towards Bee at an extremely high speed . Bee sensed that someone was coming towards him at a very high speed, so he immediately jumped away to defend himself, but unfortunately, the two jounin weren't so lucky.
As Bee looked forward, he saw Yama removing his bloody fingers from the heads of the two Jounin. The lifeless bodies of the two jounin fell to the ground.
Yama looked at Bee as he wiped the blood from his fingers. "How much do you think I can sell a tailed beast for."
"You screwed up by coming here, I'm sure in the past, you have bled but now you'll be dead."
'Bee be careful, I can tell he's strong, be careful.' The eight tails warned him.
"Don't worry, I can feel that, your worries you can seal that."
Bee rushed towards Yama.
"Flaming tempest Kick." Yama sent a arch of fire towards Bee. Bee dodged the attack and continued moving towards Yama, and punched towards him.
Yama had been fighting with Minato almost every day for the past six months, so he could easily react to Bee who was in his base form and hadn't used eight-tailed powers yet.
He wanted to see if his base form power was greater than Bee's base form power, so instead of slipping and countering like he normally would, he parried the blow with his own.
Yama was pushed back four steps while Bee was pushed back three steps, Yama smiled when he saw that. If he didn't lose to Bee in terms of strength, he was sure he wouldn't lose to Bee in a fight.
Since the gap between the two of them in terms of strength wasn't that big, he was confident that he wouldn't lose, and that was because he had mainly been training his speed, reaction, and observation haki with Minato for the past six months.
Bee was also pleased with their first exchange. He could see that he had more power than his opponent, and he hadn't even used eight tail powers.
"You're not so confident now, are you? You fool, I'm cool."
Yama signalled Bee to walk towards him again. That was what Bee was planning to do anyway, he ran towards Yama and punched him again. But instead of parrying his attacks like last time. Yama moved his head slightly to the left, wrapped his fist with Arnament Haki and hit Bee on the chin with a powerful punch.
Bee fell to the ground and rolled backwards. Yama looked at him with a big grin on his face.
"Your fighting skills are just as crappy as your rap. I'm going to have fun slowly picking you apa...." Yama paused for a second and immediately ran off without finishing his sentence.
Bee was extremely confused by this scene, he had no idea what was going on. About 15-20 seconds later, his brother A arrived there along with a few jounin.
"Bee, what happened?"
Yama also returned to the camp and told Minato and Jiraiya what happened. Yama, Minato and Jiraiya immediately headed there, but by the time they got there, Bee and A were long gone.
...
Back to the present.
Yama, Minato, Jiraiya, Pakura and two Hyuga Jounin were all in the same room. According to their spies, Kumo was planning a final attack on them, led by the Wicked A and the Killed B.
This was Kumo's last move, if they won they would hold a stronghold here and turn their attention to Iwa for a while, and if they lost they would sign a peace treaty with Konoha and go to Iwa.
"If the third Raikage isn't here, then we can easily destroy them, but we can't rule out the possibilities." Said Jiraiya.
"I don't think the third will be here. If he came here, Kumo's battle front against Iwa would collapse and they would be crushed by Iwa." spoke Minato.
"Why are you even holding this meeting? Minato will take care of A and I will take care of Bee. Pakura and those two can lead the troops, Jiraiya can just stay on standby and take care of the third Raikage in case he shows up.
"If not, he can cheer us on or join the fight, whichever he prefers. We need not worry, we will win this battle easily."
No one could find fault with what he had just said.
Jiraiya looked around, "Does anyone have a problem with Yama's strategy?"
One of the Hyugas spoke up. "Can he really take on the eight tails' Jinchuriki? I heard Bee is a perfect Jinchuriki."
"I suggest you take a listening test. All you hear is crap about people from another village, but you don't even know that I can beat this perfect Jinchuriki you speak of."

AN-
Here to rant again. My father got released from hospital yesterday and today we had to rush him back him cause he started bleeding from his stitches and the way they treat him is horrifying.
I have no knowledge of medicine what so ever but there has to be a better way to do this. He was in so much pain, I felt dizzy and nearly passed out so had to stop the video and take a seat just by looking at it.
