Chapter 48: The First Battle of the Two Boys

“Are you ready, you two?”

Kawakaze stood at the camp’s entrance, his face serious as he addressed Nawaki and Minato.

“Yes, we’re ready,” they answered in unison, each with a Han sword strapped to their waist.

To them,...

Chapter 47: Taking the Initiative

Kawakaze and Sakumo entered the Land of Rain cautiously, their expressions tense. The moment they arrived at the hidden camp, they were intercepted by ninjas wearing Konoha forehead protectors, each holding kunai at the ready.

The guards wer...

Chapter 46: The Border of the Land of Rain

Tsunade arrived at the hospital and went straight to the underground research lab, alone. She retrieved the data and Hashirama's Cells from a storage scroll, meticulously sorting the documents into categories and returning the cells to the freezer...

Chapter 45: The Eve of Departure

The familiar Warfare Operations Conference Room remained unchanged, the place where Kawakaze had first met Tsunade. This time, Kawakaze stood beside her, the two aligned in quiet anticipation. Nearby, Orochimaru and Sakumo observed, their expressi...

Chapter 44: The Start of the Second War

"Come in."

The Third Hokage’s voice came from inside the door.

Tsunade stepped into the office, noting that her teacher was the only one present. It was a relief—this would make the conversation easier.

“Sensei.”

Chapter 43: Hashirama Cells

“Duy, what kind of technique is this?” Sakumo asked, unable to hide his curiosity.

“I call it the Eight Inner Gates,” Duy replied honestly. “But for now, I can only open the Sixth Gate.”

“This technique... it can open the...

Chapter 42: Sakumo vs. Duy

"What are you laughing at? It's so ugly." 

As soon as Sakumo entered the door, he heard harsh laughter and, without hesitation, began to mock him.

"Might Duy is here to see you."

"Kawakaze, I’m a Chūnin now."

Might ...

Chapter 41: Nayuki’s Pregnancy

Kawakaze brought Nayuki to the hospital, where the staff greeted him warmly as a well-known benefactor. Along the way, many people called out to him, and he nodded and smiled in return, maintaining his usual composure.

They eventually arrive...

Chapter 40: The Signals of War

“These are things beyond our control. We can only do our best to protect the people important to us.”

Kawakaze wanted to offer some words of comfort, but in the face of war, the power of the individual was insignificant. At present, he d...

Chapter 39: Orochimaru

After parting ways with Might Duy, Kawakaze and his group continued toward Orochimaru's residence.

“Is there anything special about this person?”

Tsunade’s curiosity was piqued. She couldn’t understand why Kawakaze had offered ...

Chapter 38: Might Duy

"Then I have another candidate, but I'm not sure if he's in the village."

"Nawaki, come here."

Tsunade was lost in thought, and her sudden shout startled the two boys fishing nearby.

Thinking they were caught red-handed, Nawaki q...

Chapter 37: Returning to the Village

Back in the cave, the two were once again faced with Lady Katsuyu, already feeling homesick.

“Lady Katsuyu, how are we going to get back?” Kawakaze suddenly voiced a troubling thought. It seemed no one in Konoha was using the Summoning S...

Chapter 36: First Mastery of Sage Art

When Kawakaze opened his eyes, he saw Tsunade's fair face close to his. She was sound asleep.
"She used too much chakra healing your wounds, so don’t wake her," Lady Katsuyu advised.

Kawakaze noticed a few Katsuyu slugs still clinging t...

Chapter 35: The Greater the Risk, the Stronger the Sage Art

Tsunade spoke only after noticing Kawakaze’s unconcerned expression.
“It sounds simple, doesn’t it?” she said. “But I haven’t even told you about the dangers involved.”

This wasn’t the first time Tsunade had heard Katsuyu ...

Chapter 34: Shikkotsu Forest

“Kushina, I like you!” Minato shouted, his voice echoing through the courtyard and even catching the attention of the Hatake Clan samurai hidden in the shadows.

Then, as if awaiting his judgment, he closed his eyes tightly, bracing himse...

Chapter 33: Minato Namikaze

As the days passed, the oppressive tension of impending war grew heavier. Rumors swirled that more and more ninjas were being sent to the Land of Rain, ostensibly to seek Hanzō of the Salamander’s assistance. Kawakaze shook his head at the absu...

Chapter 32: Aftermath

With the Uchiha's departure, the construction of the hospital was inevitable. Kawakaze led the evacuation efforts.

The construction workers, initially paralyzed with fear, quickly resumed their tasks. Using Earth Release techniques and their...

Chapter 31: Danzo’s Doom

At this moment, Danzo no longer cared about the lives of his subordinates. The overwhelming killing intent emanating from Kawakaze was focused entirely on him.

Abandoning any attempt to defend himself, Danzo threw down a smoke bomb and fled ...

Chapter 30: Conflict Arises

The next morning, Tsunade woke up at home, feeling a bit sheepish. She had stayed up late talking with Kawakaze the previous night, saying whatever came to mind without much thought. The memory made her cringe slightly. If it weren’t for his fra...

Chapter 29: Internal Division

Kawakaze’s hand casually brushed the underside of the table, a subtle gesture that didn’t go unnoticed.

“I heard that you and Danzo are working together,” he said nonchalantly.

The room instantly grew tense, as if the temperatu...

Chapter 28: Taking Tsunade to Visit the Uchiha

No one appeared until the construction crew left at noon. Kawakaze and his entourage evacuated immediately afterward, returning to their original positions after a quick meal.

“What is this Uchiha up to?”
Tsunade mulled over the scrip...

Chapter 27: Chain Trap

Suddenly, someone appeared beside her. Tsunade instinctively lashed out with a punch.

“It’s me,” Kawakaze quickly said, stepping back to another branch to avoid the blow.

“Ah, sorry. I reacted without thinking,” Tsunade said,...

Chapter 26: Confusing and Mysterious

With different thoughts in their hearts, the two cans of Baijiu were soon emptied. Nayuki drank less and was still able to move around on her own. Kawakaze and Tsunade were both carried back to their rooms by servants, each to a separate room.

Chapter 25: What Is Your Dream?

Kawakaze and his group—four people and one dog—remained concealed in the trees, observing the construction site until the team completed their work for the day. Despite their vigilance, they didn’t spot a single suspicious figure.

“I...

Chapter 24: Two Old Foxes

Before Tsunade could settle into her seat, Nayuki had already poured her a cup of tea.

“Thank you,” Tsunade said as she sat down, took the cup, and sipped gracefully.

“Big Brother, aren’t you going to pour me one too?” Kawaka...

Chapter 23: Sparring

After finalizing the arrangements, Tsunade left the construction company and made her way toward the Hatake Clan. The closer she got, the clearer her memories of last night’s fleeting beauty became. When she reached the spot where she had parted...

Chapter 22: Summoning Technique

Sakumo and Nayuki treated the unfolding events as if they were listening to some juicy gossip, their expressions distant yet intrigued, their ears sharply attuned to every word.

“And what is this one called?” Katsuyu inquired, her gaze s...

Chapter 21: Katsuyu

Tsunade stepped out of the small casino, her face dark with frustration as night had fully set in.

“Damn it, the goddess of luck refuses to smile on me again,” she muttered under her breath. Usually, her losses amounted to a few million,...

Chapter 20: Each Harboring Sinister Motives

The farce was over, but Sakumo still hadn't called Kawakaze "Big Brother."

Kawakaze smirked as he approached Sakumo, clearly enjoying his role as the elder in front of Nawaki.

"Big Brother, I'll teach you."

"There's no need to do...

Chapter 19: Funds Secured

“I’ve heard that the Konoha Military Police Force has been carrying out some secret operations recently,” Danzo said with a sly smile. “Building a hospital in this area might not be the wisest decision.”

The Uchiha Clan Head caught...
