On our way back to camp, I ask Minato a question,
"Minato-san, you could have easily killed those two people. Why you spared them? They are our enemy and we are at a war with them. They killed one of our team, it is our turn to pay back them."
Minato shakes his head at my question as he explains,
"No, that wouldn't be a wise thing to do. There are various complications involved in their death.
Firstly, B is a jinchuruki and a perfect one at that. He is a very important asset to Kumogakure. A perfect Jinchuruki is one of the major fighting power of the village. Kumogakure won't sit still if we killed B and captured the eight-tails.
Secondly, A is the son of the Third Raikage and the candidate for the next Raikage. So, his early death can also lead to Kumo waging a full-scale war on Konoha. Kumo is just fishing in troubled waters for now. But if a full-blown war occurs, Konoha will be flanked from both sides and Iwa and Kumo may join hands together to form an Alliance.
Also, I don't want this endless cycle of Hatred to continue. My dream is to achieve true peace for the world where children don't have to go to war."
I nod to Minato as I am pondering over his words,
'True peace huh! Even if you achieve true peace in this world. There are many powerful beings out there who can wipe the entire Shinobi world just on a whim. You need absolute strength to achieve true peace. Kaguya failed to achieve true peace as she got corrupted by her immense power and thus thought of an escape method through Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Also, there are various beings out there who just want to consume the entire world like a parasite just to satiate their hunger for power. Peace is nothing but a pipe dream. You can't satiate everyone's interest and if a person is provided an opportunity in favor of their interest, they won't even hesitate for even a second to choose 'DA WAE'.'
We return to the camp and start to recover our Chakra and Stamina. Minato teleports back to the Iwa front.
---------------
In the afternoon,
I rejoin the battle as I move to frontlines where a direct confrontation is happening between the forces of Konoha and Kumo.
Jutsus are flying left and right as shinobis are killing each other. Slowly, but surely Konoha is gaining an advantage in the battle.
'Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique'
I release a giant fireball as I incinerate many enemies. I draw out my tanto as I start to attack one enemy after another.
'Genjutsu: Sharingan'
'Kenjutsu: Secret Sword Moonlight'
I slaughter one enemy after another as I use genjutsu in conjugation with kenjutsu. Just like a reaper from the underworld, I start to reap lives one after another. My Genjutsu starts to improve again as enemies fell after another.
'Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu'
I cast low-cost chakra Ninjutsus one after another.
'Storm Release: Laser Circus'
Several beams of energy beams charge my way as I jump to avoid them but they continue to aim towards me. I immediately some hand signs,
'Wind Release: Vacuum great sphere'
I inhale a large amount of air as I compress it into a sphere and aims it at the energy beams as I expel it out. Both jutsu collides with each other and cancel each other out.
"I will be your opponent."
A dark-skinned boy with a slightly bulbous nose and black eyes challenged me. He had slightly long white hairs that cover his left eye. He has a black tattoo on his left arm which reads as 'lightning' in kanji. There is another tattoo on his right arm in kanji for 'water'. He carries a broad, foldable, cleaver-like-blade on his back.
'Black lightning'
He makes some hand-signs as he releases black lightning from his hands. The black lightning crawls towards me at a rapid pace.
'Wind Style: Vacuum Serial waves'
I launch many compressed blades of wind at the approaching black lightning. The blades dissipate the black lightning as they travel towards the enemy.
Tch…
'Water style: Water Formation Wall'
He spits out a stream of water at the ground which rises to form a water wall around him. The wind blades collide with the water wall as they deal no major damage to the water wall.
After the wall dissipates, the enemy boy jumps out from the water as he draws out his sword and charges towards me.
"Looks like you are out of Chakra."
I mock him as I throw a shuriken at him and make some rapid hand signs.
'Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu'
Many shurikens are launched towards the enemy boy as he starts to spin his blade to block the shurikens. He closes the distance between us as he attacks me with his sword.
Clang…
I block his strike with my tanto as both of us engage in a sword fight.
Clang…clang…
We trade many blows as we continue to clash. I parry one of his attacks as I infuse some chakra in my left hand as smash my palm in his gut. He spews out a mouthful of blood as he flies some distance away and passes out.
I approach him as I make some hand signs and taps on his glabella.
'Fuinjutsu: Chakra sealing seal'
I seal his chakra and throws him at one of Kumo jounin. The jounin catches the boy as he looks at me in vexation.
I continue to attack other Kumo ninjas as I train my genjutsu, taijutsu and kenjutsu skills.
'I hope you won't interfere in my fights again, Darui. I spared you once for the sake of future problems, but I won't do it again if you continue to pester me.'
That boy was Darui. I immediately recognized him by his appearance and jutsus.
I summon a Chakra blade from one of my storage bracers as I infuse it with Light Chakra.
'Light Style: Light Sabre'
The blade starts to hum as it vibrates and release intense heat.
'Time to polish my light jutsu.'
'Light Style: Camouflage Cloak'
I cloak my body in light chakra as I turn invisible. The massacre starts again as I slaughter one ninja after another. Kumo ninjas start to panic as they couldn't find their assailant. Many sensor ninjas start to focus their senses as they try to locate me. They can sense my presence but are unable to see my figure.
"The enemy is invisible, we can't fight him directly."
Many Kumo shinobis join hands as they perform a co-operation jutsu.
'Storm Release: Thunder Cloud Inner Wave'
A thick ring of thunderclouds and electricity starts to gather around me as powerful bolts of lightning strikes at me. My Chakra blade acts as a lightning rod as it draws electricity towards me.
'Fuck! What kind of shit is this?'
I curse them as I stow back my Chakra blade. My escape route is blocked as the lightning clouds act as an electrified perimeter, creating an offensive as well as the defensive ward.
I need to escape from this, I have played enough. It's time to stop and get serious.
I start to infuse a large amount of Chakra in my hands as I start to rapidly make some hand signs,
'Typhoon Release: Gust of Despair'
The air around Izuna starts to cool and heat rapidly as it blows in a circular motion, stirring the wind movement and forming strong winds which start to condense in a typhoon. The typhoon starts to suck the nearby thunderclouds as it dissipates them.
I stood within the eye of the typhoon as I direct it at Kumo ninjas. The Kumo ninjas get blown away by the typhoon as I free myself from their containment.
'So, this is the power of Typhoon release.'
I wonder at the power of my newly acquired Kekkai Genkai. Yes, in this war till now I have acquired three Kekkai Genkais. I acquired 'Typhoon Release from an opponent earlier and Storm Release and Black Lightning from Darui.
'Typhoon release is a combination of Wind Release and Yang Release. Storm release is a combination of Lightning Release and Water Release whereas Black Lightning is a combination of Lightning Release and Yang Release.'
The sin seal activates from my previous jutsu as it starts to suck me dry. I hid behind a rock as I cloak myself in 'Camouflage Cloak' again. I start to recuperate my Chakra as I watch the situation on the battlefield.
Boom…
A large explosion occurs at a place as my attention is withdrawn by it. The dust and debris clear to show two powerful shinobis confronting each other.
Nearby Konoha ninjas start to cheer as they shout,
"Go, go…White Fang. You can do it. Pierce the strongest shield."
The Kumo ninjas also cheer in enthusiasm as they shout,
"You can beat him Raikage-sama. We have your back. Go and trim his fangs."
So, it finally started, the most awaited battle between two commanders of the army. The battle between two powerful Shinobis at the peak of their power. I rub my hands in excitement as I look at them in anticipation because this is a fight that was never mentioned in anime as it never happened.

This is my answer to the nerf hype. Fck Nerf. Time to learn many Kekkai Genkais.
