Kaguya Naoki slowly drew his spine, preparing for battle as if facing a formidable enemy.
But the Kirigakure ninjas behind him didn’t see it that way.
Seeing an oddly behaving ninja who didn’t seem very strong, they charged forward, eager to avoid punishment from the Third Mizukage.
“Stop!”
Naoki’s angry shout made the ninjas halt mid-stride.
But they had already entered the range of the enraged child’s attack.
Wood Release: Cutting Technique!
Violent wooden spikes erupted, chaotic and deadly, impaling several Kirigakure ninjas.
Blood splattered, chilling everyone’s hearts.
Wood Release!
All the Kirigakure ninjas froze, trembling in fear.
Anyone who had received proper education in the Five Great Shinobi Villages knew the might of the First Hokage.
Four great ninja villages, with tens of thousands of soldiers, were deterred by the presence of the First Hokage of Konohagakure!
The nine-tailed beasts, the ultimate weapons of each village, were casually captured and distributed by the First Hokage.
The four founding Kages, who ruled their nations, never dared to provoke Konohagakure, all because of the First Hokage.
His Wood Release had suppressed the world for decades.
The invincibility was etched into everyone’s minds!
The Kirigakure ninjas, like rootless duckweed, were filled with terror.
Facing the charging, enraged child, they wanted to retreat!
But soon, those whose strength had been halved by the Wood Release found their anchor.
The Kaguya clan, Kaguya Naoki, Kirigakure’s most crucial genius.
More importantly, the recent appearance of the bone forest proved Naoki’s strength.
Could he withstand the Wood Release?
Clinging to this sliver of hope, they surrounded Naoki.
“Kaguya-sama!”
“Kaguya-sama, Tetsuya was killed!”
“Kaguya-sama, please use that jutsu again, we can’t hold out!”
The voices, filled with panic and hope, echoed around Naoki, making him realize something profound.
Prejudice is a mountain.
But when faced with a hero who possesses absolute power and repeatedly saves them from hell, even the tallest mountain can be flattened.
If I can defeat Uchiha Obito and pull this Anbu team from the brink, all previous prejudices against me will vanish.
The Third Shinobi World War is an opportunity, my opportunity.
Naoki’s gaze burned as he looked at Obito.
If I win, the world is my oyster!
Naoki raised his ivory bones and faced Obito: “You all, retreat.”
The exhausted Kirigakure ninjas quickly retreated, leaving space.
Only Zabuza stood beside Naoki, holding his sword, heart pounding.
I am destined to become a Kage and change this village. How can I retreat?
Swallowing his nerves, Zabuza roared.
“You bastard, I’m Zabuza! How can I let you cover me?”
Seeing Obito carefully place the skeletal remains of “Rin Nohara” aside, Naoki coldly said.
“I alone am enough.”
“That’s Wood Release! How can I let you face it alone?” Zabuza, eyes bloodshot, was about to argue when the mournful, angry screams echoed again.
“You bastards, how dare you do this to Rin!”
“None of you will live!”
Obito gently placed the bones aside, stood up, and charged at Naoki and Zabuza.
Under the swirling mask, his blood-red eyes spun rapidly, instilling fear in the Kirigakure ninjas, who had just calmed down thanks to Naoki.
Sharingan.
And not the familiar tomoe shape.
The wooden spikes earlier had hinted at this, and now the ninjas quickly thought of the legend from the First Hokage’s era.
Uchiha Madara.
The legendary eyes of Uchiha Madara.
It must be.
Realizing this, everyone’s bodies began to tremble.
Uchiha Madara’s eyes and the First Hokage’s Wood Release.
How could anyone defeat that?
Even the bloodthirsty, arrogant Kirigakure ninjas couldn’t muster the will to fight against someone with the Mangekyo Sharingan and Wood Release.
When did Konohagakure gain such a monster?
With a village housing both the Sage’s eyes and Wood Release, how could they lose a war?
Our war is doomed to fail!
Fear and anxiety spread across the battlefield.
Zabuza, however, steadied himself, ready to draw his sword.
Naoki remained unaffected by the atmosphere, calmly extracting his glowing white bones.
Dead Bone Pulse: Dance of the Willow.
Naoki danced like a willow in the wind when facing the blood-stained wooden spikes.
His blade slashed, and his body moved fluidly.
Crack, crack, crack!
The wild, flying branches were all cut-down.
Naoki stood unharmed, without a scratch.
Not stopping there!
Dead Bone Pulse: Dance of the Larch.
Naoki didn’t intend to stop. Iron-hard bones sprouted from his body, piercing in all directions.
At that moment, the random bones shredded Obito’s next wave of Wood Release attacks.
Obito’s rage and sorrow finally showed a hint of surprise.
If blocking his first attack was due to preparation for a comrade’s death, then stopping the second was more than luck and readiness.
It showed that the Kirigakure leader could counter his formidable Wood Release.
“You bastard, try this!”
Obito raised his shuriken, forming hand signs, his mouth filled with chakra.
Anyone familiar with the Uchiha knew this was a precursor to a Fireball Jutsu or some Fire Release technique.
That’s what Zabuza thought.
Unable to handle the terrifying wooden spikes, but…
Try my technique, Uchiha!
Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!
From Zabuza’s mouth, a blue water line extended, expanding into a massive river.
Wood Release? So what?
I’m faster.
Zabuza felt a surge of pride.
Since the mission began, he had never shown his value to Naoki.
Now, the opportunity had come.
But they didn’t notice Obito’s strange smile under his mask.
Hidden by the waterfall, Obito slipped into the soft soil.
Kakashi.
I learned this from you.
“Using your technique, I’ll kill them.”
“Die, Kirigakure scum!”
