Kakashi stared at Kurama with curious eyes.
The power of death and resurrection.
There might be some in the ninja world.
But no one could wield it as effortlessly as Kurama.
"Is this guy a god?" Kakashi sighed inwardly.
Kurama had saved his father.
An immense favor.
White Fang also looked puzzled.
"This is not the place to talk. Let's change the environment."
Flying Thunder God Technique activated.
Kurama brought Hatake Sakumo and Kakashi to a small forest.
"This... this is the Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique!" Hatake Sakumo was surprised.
After so many years, someone had mastered the jutsu of the Second Hokage.
How powerful was this mysterious man before him?
Seeing Konoha's White Fang's confusion, Kurama smiled.
"The higher-ups in Konoha seemed pleased about your death, Konoha's White Fang."
Hatake Sakumo only smiled bitterly.
He had expected as much.
He was unwilling!
During the Second Ninja War, he had made great contributions to Konoha.
Yet rumors had spread about him in the village.
The Third Hokage and other senior officials remained indifferent.
Had he truly been a threat to them?
He couldn't afford to be so submissive anymore.
This death had made him realize something deeper.
Death couldn't solve the problem.
"Let Konoha change its dynasty? Interesting!"
After listening to Kurama's words, Konoha's White Fang became intrigued.
He thought:
"So the Bloody Red Pepper, Uzumaki Kushina, has already grown so strong! If she becomes Hokage, the village may truly undergo earth-shaking changes."
The man before him, however, remained an enigma.
"I'm Kurama"
"Lord Kurama, when shall we act?"
For this savior and the man behind the future Hokage, Konoha's White Fang used an honorific title.
Kurama responded with a faint smile.
"Soon."
Kurama realized he had also become quite adept at persuasion.
Konoha's White Fang had officially joined their side.
When the coup began, how would Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen react upon realizing he was surrounded by traitors?
The thought was exhilarating.
"I wonder what else Kurama-sama is capable of, besides resurrection and the Flying Thunder God Technique?" Hatake Sakumo asked with interest.
"Why? Aren't those two enough?"
Indeed, they were more than enough.
With these abilities alone, he was already at the pinnacle of the ninja world.
Still, Hatake Sakumo was curious.
"I heard that your strength surpasses that of the Sannin. I'd like to see your skills, White Fang versus Kurama."
Hatake Sakumo wasn't one to back down.
"Lord Kurama, please forgive my offense."
Hatake Sakumo wanted to gauge the power of the man set to overthrow Konoha.
Was he truly worthy of following?
A mere favor wasn't enough in the ninja world.
Strength earned recognition.
Hatake Sakumo drew his Chakra Short Sword, radiating white light.
He exhaled softly.
"It's been a long time, old friend."
"Forgive me, Lord Kurama!"
With that, Hatake Sakumo swung his blade.
A massive Chakra blade, tens of meters high, rushed toward Kurama.
This was Hatake Sakumo's strongest slash.
Countless ninjas had fallen to the White Fang.
Yet Kurama remained unshaken.
A giant hand of dark red Chakra extended from his body, catching the Chakra blade mid-air.
Then, he crushed it.
"This… this power?"
Hatake Sakumo broke into a cold sweat.
For the first time, his White Fang Slash had been effortlessly neutralized.
Elite ninja battles were often decided in an instant.
Kurama stepped forward, his eyes glowing ominously.
"You're strong, White Fang, but I am beyond human limits."
Suddenly, Hatake Sakumo felt a massive pressure bearing down on him.
It was as if the very air was rejecting his existence.
Kurama wasn't just powerful—he was terrifying.
Sakumo gritted his teeth, tightening his grip on his sword.
"If I had met you in my prime… things might have been different."
Kurama chuckled, withdrawing his chakra.
"Perhaps. But strength alone is not enough to change the world."
Hatake Sakumo let out a deep breath, finally relaxing his stance.
He had lost. Completely.
"White Fang, you've truly earned your reputation."
Kurama smiled.
Hatake Sakumo indeed possessed great strength.
Even surpassing the Sannin was not just an empty title.
After a few parting words, Kurama and Hatake Sakumo left.
Hatake Sakumo gazed up at the sky and murmured softly:
"I look forward to seeing what the village will become."
—
Outside Konoha Village, in Root's secret base.
Orochimaru had successfully developed Hashirama cells for Danzo.
Flawed, but functional.
Danzo had already implanted them into his right arm.
Now, he sought the Mangekyō Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.
Uchiha Mikoto possessed such eyes.
After the war, Danzo had ordered his subordinates to monitor the Uchiha clan constantly.
Any anomalies would be reported immediately.
"Ryoma, Kai, deliver this scroll to Uchiha Mikoto, the Uchiha clan leader."
"Yes, Lord Danzo!"
—
Deep in the forest, Uchiha Mikoto was training.
She knew the village would soon face drastic changes.
Thus, she needed to strengthen herself.
She refused to be a burden to Kushina, Hikari, and the others.
"Who's there?"
Mikoto shouted.
She hurled shuriken toward a tree trunk.
Yet no one was there.
She threw kunai.
Something strange happened.
The impact changed the trajectory of the shuriken, redirecting them toward blind spots they couldn't reach before.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Several sharp metallic clashes.
Two masked Root members stepped out from behind the tree.
They had deflected the shuriken with ease.
One of them spoke.
"As expected of the Uchiha clan leader. Your shuriken skills are superb."
The Uchiha clan were professionals at such techniques.
"What does Root want?"
"Nothing much. Lord Danzo sent you this scroll. Read it, then come with us."
Their tone was arrogant.
Oh?
Danzo.
Mikoto took the scroll and read it briefly.
As expected.
Danzo.
Mikoto's expression remained calm. After finishing, she smiled faintly.
"You think you can order me around?"
"You don't have a choice."
Exactly what Mikoto wanted.
She closed the scroll, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.
"Then let's not waste any more time. come with us."
The first step of the coup would begin with Root.
her grip on her kunai tightened.
Soon, everything would change.
"if I don't"
