Chen Baojun's taijutsu and Daitō's swordsmanship were both extremely formidable. Sai, Shin, and the others found it difficult to gain the upper hand for the moment.
While both sides were locked in battle, the stealth-specialist Nakichi suddenly appeared beside the injured Hyuga Tokuma and Lan Hua.
Anko suddenly realized what was happening.
"Not good!"
Just as Nakichi was about to complete his sneak attack—
"Leaf Strong Whirlwind!"
"Lightning Cutter!"
Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy arrived just in time.
Although Nakichi had been a Hidden Mist jonin in life, he unfortunately faced the combined assault of two shinobi whose strength far exceeded that level.
The result was immediate defeat.
"Sealing Unit!"
"Yes!"
The sealing squad quickly stepped forward and sealed him away.
"The Third Division has arrived."
Kakashi and Guy looked at Sai and the others, who were still struggling in battle. Just as they were about to provide support, they suddenly sensed something and quickly retreated.
At the spot where they had just been standing, several Ice Release senbon needles shot out of the mist.
Kakashi frowned as he looked at the needles.
Sure enough—
Haku and Zabuza Momochi, revived through Impure World Reincarnation, appeared before them.
Watching from the shadows, Black Zetsu smiled.
"Heh… let them deal with you."
"Summoning Technique: Impure World Reincarnation!"
Suddenly, six coffins rose from the ground beside Haku and Zabuza.
From them emerged the remaining six members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
Zabuza and the others formed hand seals simultaneously.
"Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Technique!"
In an instant, the battlefield was engulfed in thick fog.
Seeing this, Kakashi immediately issued orders:
"Karin, Santian, and all sensory ninja—focus on detecting the enemy's positions. Sai, Shin, and Shio—interfere with and restrain them."
"Yes!" ×N
At the Allied Shinobi Forces Headquarters, intelligence reports arrived.
Onoki immediately contacted Kitsuchi and Kurotsuchi.
"Earth Release: Opening Earth Rising Excavation!" ×2
Father and daughter slammed their palms onto the ground. A massive eruption point opened, blasting out the White Zetsu hiding underground.
"Second Division—destroy the enemy!"
"Yes!" ×N
Meanwhile, at the coastal battlefield.
The First Division, led by Darui, had already engaged the White Zetsu army and several powerful Reanimated shinobi.
The reanimated Dan Kato and Hizashi Hyuga clashed with Konoha ninja familiar with their techniques.
During the battle, two figures suddenly emerged from the ocean.
Kinkaku and Ginkaku.
Darui stepped forward cautiously.
At that moment, Samui and Atsui arrived to reinforce him.
Kinkaku and Ginkaku looked at the younger generation of Kumogakure with interest.
Their eyes fell on the tattoo on Darui's shoulder.
"Hmph… you inherited A's Black Lightning, did you?"
They took out the Treasured Tools of the Sage of Six Paths:
Kokinjo (Golden Rope)Shichiseiken (Seven-Star Sword)Benihisago (Crimson Gourd)Bashōsen (Banana Fan)
Just then—
A flash of blue lightning suddenly appeared before Ginkaku's eyes.
"Hm? That's strange…"
He looked down in confusion at a headless body collapsing to the ground.
"Oh… that's me."
Samui had used Lightning Release Body Flicker to instantly appear beside him and sever his neck with a short blade.
Samui spoke calmly.
"Sealing Unit."
"Oh—right!"
The sealing squad finally snapped out of their shock and hurriedly used the Cloth Binding Technique to seal him.
"Ginkaku!"
Kinkaku finally reacted.
He rushed forward to stop them—but Darui immediately blocked his path.
"Storm Release: Laser Circus!"
Numerous laser beams shot toward Kinkaku, forcing him to halt.
"Damn it!"
Entangled by Darui's attack, he could only watch helplessly as his brother was sealed.
At that moment, Kinkaku's rage erupted.
"How dare you! How dare you! Damn it!!!"
A surge of red chakra burst from his body.
The chakra formed a dark crimson cloak around him.
Version 2 Tailed Beast Chakra Mode.
Meanwhile, Naruto, who was moving around the battlefield providing support, suddenly felt something strange.
"What's going on?"
Inside him, the Nine-Tails narrowed its eyes.
"That chakra… hmph. The Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers."
Back on the First Battlefield—
Darui looked at the now partially transformed Kinkaku and frowned.
"Samui, Atsui—we'll withdraw first and fight a guerrilla battle to disrupt him."
Before Atsui could respond, Samui spoke calmly.
"Atsui. Captain. Please step back."
She spread her hands.
A sphere of red lightning condensed in her palms.
"Lightning Release: Sandāboruto (Thunderbolt)."
The lightning sphere erupted with violent electrical currents that struck Kinkaku directly.
"AAARGH!"
Kinkaku's body instantly froze.
Even the Tailed Beast chakra cloak began to dissipate.
"What?! What kind of Lightning Release is this?!"
Before he could understand what was happening—
Samui coated her short blade with lightning chakra and swung it.
"Cloud Style: Flying Blade!"
A lightning blade shot toward Kinkaku with terrifying speed.
He attempted to dodge, but the red lightning paralyzing his body prevented him from moving.
"Damn it—AAAH!!"
The lightning blade struck.
Kinkaku was split cleanly in half.
Samui said calmly:
"Sealing Unit."
"Y-Yes!"
The sealing squad quickly stepped forward and sealed Kinkaku as well.
Darui and Atsui stared at Samui in disbelief.
"Uh…"
Since when were you this powerful?
They had already noticed Samui's strength when she fought the Jashin Cult, but they hadn't expected her to be this overwhelmingly strong.
However, there was a reason.
Among Nagi's companions, Samui had the highest affinity with him, so her Lightning Release mastery and physical ability had naturally grown extraordinarily powerful.
Samui ignored their stunned expressions.
"Next, we deal with the remaining reanimated ninja and the White Zetsu."
"Yes."
Hidden in the shadows, Black Zetsu looked utterly confused.
"What is going on? Why is that woman so strong?"
When she had cut off Obito's head earlier, it could be explained as him being careless.
But instantly defeating both Kinkaku and Ginkaku?
That couldn't possibly be due to carelessness.
By evening, the battle continued.
At the First Battlefield, the reanimated Dan Kato, Hizashi Hyuga, and other powerful shinobi were completely unable to withstand Samui.
Her lightning-fast attacks were impossible to defend against.
One after another, they were sealed away.
Black Zetsu frowned even deeper.
"Damn it… I didn't expect Kumogakure to have such a powerful shinobi. Has she been hiding her strength all this time? I need to contact Obito."
Meanwhile, at the Allied Shinobi Forces Headquarters.
Everyone turned their gaze toward the Raikage, as if asking:
Since when does Kumogakure have someone this strong?
The Raikage himself was also confused.
When the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers appeared, he had been ready to personally join the battlefield.
But Tsunade stopped him and told him to focus on the bigger picture.
He had even been about to ask Mabui to teleport the Amber Purifying Pot to the battlefield.
Yet Samui had already ended the battle decisively.
Seeing everyone staring at him, the Raikage suppressed his confusion and coughed.
"Ahem… Samui is Nagi's girlfriend, so it's only natural that she's powerful."
Everyone was stunned.
Those who knew about Nagi showed thoughtful expressions.
Those who didn't… remained completely confused.
Just then—
suddenly sensed something and shouted urgently:
"A massive amount of chakra has appeared!"
