In Iwagakure, inside the Tsuchikage's office, Onoki received the news of the failure with a chaotic feeling.
Onoki's usually calm face turned red, and the muscles in his jaw tightened.
His hands clenched tightly on the dusty wooden table, and Onoki's voice was now filled with anger as his shout filled the room.
"Damn it!"
"Why didn't I realize this from the start?"
"I should have kidnapped all the members of the Uzumaki Clan as soon as they started moving!" Onoki shouted angrily, his breath coming in gasps, and the tremor in his voice showed how deep his regret was.
The dusk outside the Iwagakure window faded to gray, as if nature itself felt the destruction in Onoki's heart.

In Kirigakure, the Mizukage's office was filled with a tense and calculating aura.
At that moment, the Mizukage sat in a high chair, his face appearing frozen in seriousness.
His sharp eyes stared at the report spread out on the table, as if trying to penetrate each word to uncover the hidden truth.
"Failed? There are even clan members who chose to stay there?" the Mizukage murmured quietly, his voice cold yet attentive.
At that moment, the Mizukage realized how dangerous the decision of some Kirigakure ninjas to stay was.
However, there was a glimmer of hope.
"They can be used to gather intel from within," the Mizukage thought, nervously moving his fingers over the wooden table.
"This could be an opportunity or a problem."

In Kumogakure, the Third Raikage's office appeared calm yet vigilant as he stared at the report documents in his hands.
The afternoon sunlight reflected off the surface of the table, casting a faint shadow on the serious face of the Third Raikage.
"Dad! Is it true that the three great villages have really lost?" A asked with a hesitant tone, his wide eyes filled with concern as he looked at his father.
The Raikage nodded slowly, his voice calm but heavy, as if bearing the weight of the world.
"Yes. They truly lost... We are fortunate not to be directly involved."
A furrowed his brow, confused and worried. "So what should we do now?"
The Raikage gazed far out the window, his eyes now frozen on the darkening horizon.
"We must wait and see how the situation develops."
"The Uzumaki Clan is not an ordinary opponent."
"I suspected they would become a significant threat, but I didn't expect it to be this big." The Third Raikage's voice was filled with caution and determination.
...
...
...
The news spread quickly throughout the ninja world.
The Uzumaki Clan, once thought to be defeated, now stood as a terrifying force, capable of defeating three thousand combined ninjas from the three great villages with their mysterious Illusion Sealing techniques.
However, amidst the world's spotlight on the Uzumaki Clan, public attention was instead focused on Konohagakure.
When the attack occurred, Konohagakure remained silent and completely still.
Their silence became a hanging mystery, raising significant questions among the ninjas.
What really happened between the Uzumaki Clan and Konohagakure?
Is there a dark secret hidden behind the silence of the largest village?
These questions burned in the minds of many, leaving the ninja world on the edge of uncertainty and vigilance.
...

A bright morning welcomed Konohagakure with soft sunlight filtering through the leaves and illuminating the village streets.
However, inside the Hokage's office, the atmosphere felt vastly different—like a storm raging behind the glass window.
Tension thickened in the air until it was almost palpable, making the spacious room feel cramped and suffocating.
The sunlight, which was usually warm and soothing, now appeared cold and sharp.
It shone on every face sitting around the old yellow table, their expressions filled with anxiety and anger that was hard to conceal.
