"Madara!"
The beastly roar of the Nine-Tails echoed through the sealed space. Completely enraged, it rampaged wildly on the sealing altar, venting its fury. The rattling sound of the sealing chains filled the air as endless negative chakra spread outward, dyeing the entire sealing space crimson.
That damned brat actually used genjutsu to simulate dozens of Madaras! And these Madaras were just as proud and unruly as the real one.
There was no mindless roaring...

In the dark, cave-like sealed chamber, a sealing formation resembling an ancient altar stood at the center of the space. Eight massive stone pillars surrounded the altar, each extending thick, meter-wide adamantine chains that bound the nine-tailed fox lying in the middle. A pitch-black sealing pillar, as wide as half the fox's body, pierced straight through its back.
The eight chains were locked tightly, leaving no chance for it to break free.
The Nine-Tails seemed to have long g...

"Alright, alright~ I promise I won't treat you like that in the future!" Kushina slightly tightened her grip on Kei's hand.
The evening breeze brushed past, lifting her vibrant red hair. With a smile as radiant as a blooming flower, she left Kei momentarily dazed.
Even though this world was far from perfect, there were always some people who shone brightly, bringing warmth and brilliance to the darkness. With a faint smile at the corner of his lips, Kei tightened his grip on Kushi...

The boxes of items that Kushina had packed were quickly transported back under Kei's Flying Thunder God Technique.
After reopening the protective barrier of the old residence, the two of them, just like when they arrived, walked hand in hand toward the commercial street.
As they walked, Kei shared his breakfast shop plan with Kushina.
As expected, he received her full support.
She even mentioned that among the dozen or so shops left to her by Mito, several tenants were...

Kushina still wasn't completely at ease just throwing Tsunade, who was under a genjutsu, into the courtyard.
Out of kindness, she moved her back to the guest room and set up a simple protective barrier before finally leaving with Kei.
As for undoing the genjutsu?
No way. If she did, how would they enjoy their time alone together?
Hand in hand, Kei and Kushina walked toward the Senju residence.
Despite the distant and wary gazes from the villagers around them, som...

After finishing a pleasant lunch, Kushina washed the dishes while Kei sat by the dining table, resting his chin on his hand, watching her busy figure.
This scene wasn't exactly romantic. But after more than a decade, for the first time in this unfamiliar yet familiar world, he felt a sense of home.
"Kushina?"
"Hmm?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to call your name."
"Then… Kei?"

Kei felt a fleeting softness flash across his back as he was suddenly thrown down, his body stiffening for a moment.
Tsunade... She truly lived up to her name! Just one back throw, and this was already too much!
He took a step towards the entrance.
Kei subconsciously shrugged his shoulders, trying to dispel the tingling sensation on his back.
He sighed—at this age, his energy was still burning strong. Just a little stimulation, and he was already getting restless.

He wandered leisurely back to the entrance of the clan's territory.
Kei glanced toward his home, noticing the wisps of smoke rising from the chimney and a few elderly clan members looking at him with teasing expressions.
Kushina was definitely at his house.
Recalling what Minato had told him before leaving Konoha about the gossip circulating at the temporary jonin standby station, he felt a slight headache coming on.
Given Kushina's habit of frequently visiting the jon...

Leaving the Hokage's office, Minato and Honoka were arguing over the issue of housing.
Minato wanted Honoka to move directly into his home.
Having suddenly arrived in an unfamiliar environment, Honoka felt an extreme lack of security and naturally didn't want to be separated from her lover.
After all, this was Konoha, the place where Minato had always lived.
She couldn't help but worry. If she moved in with him right away, would it cause trouble for him? Would others t...

The vast sky, dense forests, remote villages, and rivers cutting through the woodland.

The shimmering sea reflected the sunlight as a three-masted sailing ship, its sails billowing, steadily made its way toward the borders of the Land of Fire.
Standing at the ship's bow, Minato and Honoka held hands, enjoying each other's company. They laughed and thought about their childhood memories and personal growth.
Even though they had been talking like this for three days straight, it still felt like they had endless things to share.
On the ship's aft deck.

The moment the trait fusion started.

Kei was feeling a bit excited because the purple trait [Water Release Mastery] had brought a noticeable improvement.
However, his excitement was quickly doused like a bucket of cold water when he failed to execute the Water Release: Rasengan.
But he was never the type to give up easily. Sitting cross-legged on a rock, his eyes gazed blankly at the distant horizon. While slowly recovering his chakra, he continued to ponder over the mechanics of the Water Rasengan in his mind.

Kei smacked his lips in dissatisfaction and dispelled the Psycho Mind Transmission on Fukashi.
According to the memories, although the number of clams wasn't as large as those in Mount Myōboku or Ryūchi Cave, they still surpassed most summoning beast clans.
Some of these clams had abilities that were no less impressive than the dazzling toads of Mount Myōboku.

From the moment the first roar echoed, the entire island had descended into madness.

"Let's go over now. If we delay, I'm afraid they'll have already destroyed the research data," Kei sneered in disdain, expressing his contempt for Kiri's obsession with secrecy.
After all, Kiri was one of the Five Great Ninja Villages.
But their way of doing things always carried an inexplicable sense of pettiness.
Take this Summoning Island, for example.
Nominally, it belonged to the Land of the Sea.

How strong was Madara? Nowadays, most people in the shinobi world didn't have a clear understanding.
After all, the Third Hokage, in order to secure his position, significantly altered the curriculum of the Ninja Academy and distorted the history of the ninja world.
He even shamelessly claimed himself to be the strongest Hokage.
Even someone like Minato, who had heard the true history from Kei, only had a very fragmented understanding of it.

The Kiri ninjas, under the scorching heat, had been reduced to dried-up corpses devoid of moisture.
And the Suna ninjas had either been pierced through by water bullets or had their organs crushed by Water Release, their flowing blood dyeing the lethal currents red.
In just a single exchange, aside from Pakura, everyone else had lost their lives.
The brutality of the scene perfectly mirrored the aftermath of a deadly clash between the two factions.

The nature of Kei and Minato's mission had already been determined.
Neither of them could reveal their identities—at least not to the higher-ups of Kiri and Suna. If those villages discovered that Konoha was involved in their conflict, it would only draw more attention. Konoha, already the prime target in every past Great Ninja War, would once again become the center of hostilities.
If that happened, they would inevitably face questioning from Konoha's leadership.
