Land of Lightning, Kumogakure.
Raikage's Office.
"Mabui, is the information confirmed?"
The muscular Fourth Raikage A looked at the data in his hand and asked.
"Raikage-sama, I have confirmed the information. It's very reliable."
Mabui, dressed in a black women's suit and skirt, with a white shirt underneath, black stockings, and high heels, looked very capable. She hugged the file to her chest and answered confidently.
"Heh, interesting."
"Konoha's Wood Release and Flying Thunder God have appeared in Kirigakure."
"That old man, the Third Hokage, must be fuming."
Hearing that the information was accurate, the Fourth Raikage A chuckled, feeling a bit gleeful at Konoha's misfortune.
"Raikage-sama, what should we do now?"
"Do we need to take any action?"
Mabui continued to ask.
"There's no need to intervene. We'll watch how things unfold."
"This involves Wood Release and Flying Thunder God; Konoha will definitely take action."
"We don't need to be at the forefront."
Casually throwing the data onto the table, the Fourth Raikage spoke indifferently.
Although the mysterious person could use Wood Release, it didn't seem like they could wield the same power as the First Hokage.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been repelled by a user of the Flying Thunder God.
Given that, the Fourth Raikage didn't see any reason to worry.
What was more troubling was the other party's ability to control tailed beasts.
"Where are Bee and Yugito Nii right now?"
The Fourth Raikage continued to ask.
"Lord Bee is holding a concert in the village, and Yugito Nii is training at home."
"Oh, it seems it has already started."
Mabui walked to the office window, staring at the square below the Raikage building.
"Yo!!!"
"Yo!!!"
"Idiot, you guys, from Kumogakure..."
"My rap has been practiced for two and a half years, today..."
In the Kumogakure square.
Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, dressed in a chicken mascot costume, stood on a simple stage, continuously speaking to the crowd in front of him, eliciting bursts of cheers from the audience.
In Kumogakure, many young ninjas were fans of Killer Bee.
Seeing this scene, the veins on the Fourth Raikage's forehead twitched.
Once Killer Bee started his concert, there would be no peace for the rest of the day.
"Bee, you idiot, if you want to hold a concert, do it far away from here."
The Fourth Raikage leaned out of the window and yelled at Killer Bee below.
"Hey, Brother, wanna join?"
Killer Bee, unfazed, held up the microphone and asked the Fourth Raikage.
"Bee, you idiot!"
The veins on the Fourth Raikage's forehead bulged as he activated his Lightning Release Chakra Mode and charged at Killer Bee, ready to teach him a lesson.
Killer Bee yelped and ran away quickly.
"..."
Watching the brothers' daily antics, Mabui shook her head and walked out of the office.
As soon as she stepped out,
Mabui saw Samui approaching her, with her short blonde hair, exquisite features, fair skin, tall figure, and exaggerated curves.
Glancing at Samui's impressive assets, Mabui spoke directly:
"Samui, are you here to report? Raikage-sama is no longer in the office."
"I see."
Hearing Mabui's words, Samui nodded and was about to leave.
"Let's go find Yugito Nii and go shopping together, shall we?"
"Although it's a bit sudden,"
"Yugito Nii will be going to Turtle Island for training soon, and we won't see her for a long time."
Mabui caught up with her and suggested.
She, Samui, and Yugito Nii had been classmates and friends since childhood and were very close.
"Alright."
Samui nodded, agreeing to Mabui's invitation.
"Let's go find Yugito Nii first."
Walking down the street, the two headed towards Yugito Nii's residence.
Before long,
They found Yugito Nii, dressed in a tight training outfit, tall and slender, and began their shopping trip together.
One with dark skin and white hair, calm and capable.
One with blonde hair and fair skin, mature and sexy.
One tall and cold with an elegant demeanor.
All were stunning beauties.
Walking side by side, they became the most beautiful sight on the street, attracting countless envious, jealous, and admiring gazes.
Meanwhile,
The news of the Three-Tails incident in Kirigakure began to spread among the various ninja villages.
Sunagakure and Iwagakure received the information one after another.
The Fourth Kazekage Rasa and the Third Tsuchikage Onoki were also shocked by the reappearance of Wood Release and Flying Thunder God, just like the Raikage.
While feeling gleeful at Konoha's trouble, they also chose to watch how things unfolded.
...
Land of Fields.
Orochimaru's secret base.
"Hehehehe, it seems that Shishou didn't deceive me."
Looking at the information about Kirigakure in his hand, Orochimaru laughed.
As long as it was confirmed that Hashirama cells could be successfully transplanted, Orochimaru was confident that he could unlock their secrets.
Although he had previously succeeded in hybridizing Hashirama cells with other embryos, successfully cultivating a baby,
there was still a significant difference between that technique and directly transplanting Hashirama cells.
"But who is this person who can use Flying Thunder God?"
Due to losing the Hokage election to the Fourth Hokage, Orochimaru had a particular disdain for the Flying Thunder God technique.
"It seems that the old man's troubles are one after another."
"Hehehe, not only has Wood Release been thoroughly researched, but even the Flying Thunder God has been learned."
Thinking of his former Konoha mentor, Orochimaru chuckled.
"Orochimaru-sama, the experimental subjects are ready."
Yamato approached Orochimaru and respectfully reported.
At this moment, his arm, which had been severed by Danzo, had been restored by Orochimaru.
"Very well."
Glancing at Yamato, Orochimaru was very satisfied with him.
Obedient, sensible, proficient in Wood Release, and reasonably strong.
The only drawback was his insufficient chakra, which prevented him from fully unleashing the power of Wood Release.
Through a deal with Danzo, Orochimaru obtained ownership of Yamato.
The price was providing his cloning technology to Danzo.
However, once Yamato could fully adapt to the power of the cursed seal and after a few years of careful training,
he would become a valuable assistant.
Thinking of this, Orochimaru entered a laboratory.
Amidst the tragic screams of the experimental subjects, Orochimaru began a new round of Hashirama cell transplantation experiments.
After Orochimaru started the experiments, Yamato returned to his room.
He touched the Heaven Cursed Seal on his neck.
Seeing that it no longer caused pain,
Yamato took out a scroll and began seriously studying the materials left by Orochimaru-sama.
In Root, he was treated as an emotionless tool by Danzo.
But here with Orochimaru, he was treated as a trusted subordinate.
This huge difference in treatment made Yamato genuinely respect Orochimaru.
