Beneath the pale moonlight hanging coldly over the rooftops of the Hidden Leaf, the battle between Hoshino Satoru and Kushimaru Kuriarare—one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist—was reaching its most dangerous point.
When Yubashiri, a famed blade from another world, cloaked in black lightning chakra, collided with Kuriarare's jutsu—Something strange happened.
BOOM!
Black-violet lightning surged across the massive Water Wall that Kuriarare had conjured.But instead of being stopped, it clung to the chakra coating the barrier—devouring, burning, like a beast unleashed from a cage.
"What… the hell is this?!"
Kuriarare's eyes widened in horror.He had never seen chakra consume ninjutsu like this.
His Water-Earth Wall should've been one of the most solid defenses against any physical attack—But now?
It was being eaten alive.
The water and mud began evaporating, rising as thin mist into the air.What remained… looked like a tattered sheet of rotting paper.
"Damn it…!!"
Kuriarare gritted his teeth and instantly shifted his body into liquid form, sliding down the rooftop to dodge Satoru's next strike.
But the moment he jumped—
ZZZZT!!!
Yubashiri followed through.
A brilliant flash tore through the night—
SHEEEEEEENG!!
The very air howled, shredded by the force of the slash.The chakra-enflamed sword cut deep into the ground, leaving behind a massive, scorched scar across the rooftop tiles.
The screech of that blade shook the entire district.Several ANBU agents stationed nearby instantly picked up on the anomaly.
⚔️ ANBU DEPLOYED — THE HIDDEN LEAF GOES ON ALERT ⚔️
From rooftops all around, masked shadows in dark cloaks flickered into view—Ghosts in the moonlight.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Three ANBU dropped in behind Satoru—But before they could engage, a calm, commanding voice echoed from afar.
"Stand down, everyone. This is an infiltration case. We take him alive."
A massive figure landed beside Satoru—Jinno Tetsu, a high-ranking jonin in charge of Konoha's perimeter defense.
Muscular like a beast, messy black hair framing a hard face, Tetsu was a master of Earth Style, known for his monstrous taijutsu.His sharp gaze scanned Satoru, then swept across the rooftop… and down to the destroyed terrain beneath the boy's feet.
"Sensei… where's the target?"
His voice rumbled like distant thunder.
Satoru smirked faintly, eyes drifting toward the riverbank—Where Kuriarare had just leapt into the water to escape.
"Don't worry. He's right there…"
They both saw the shadow vanish into the river's surface.Tetsu frowned slightly—
But before he could act, Satoru moved.
His hands blurred—nearly 40 hand signs formed in rapid succession!
⚡ "Water Style: Supreme Water Dragon!" ⚡
Just as Kuriarare submerged into the river, not yet able to catch his breath—
WHOOOOOOM!!
The river shuddered violently.
The peaceful current suddenly twisted unnaturally—As if a massive, invisible hand had seized control, lifting it high into the air like a wall.
"WHAT THE HELL—?!"
Kuriarare's body was yanked downward, pulled deeper.He couldn't control his own Water Release anymore!
Back on the riverbank, Satoru grinned with eerie calm.
His fingers danced again—40 seals in under two seconds.
"Water Style: Supreme Water Dragon!!"
GUOOOOOOOOHHHH!!
A colossal dragon made of water surged from the river—Drawing moisture from the land, from the air—Forming a towering beast nearly 30 meters tall, its glowing eyes radiating death.
It opened its jaws—rows of fanged liquid sharpened like blades—And let out a roar that shattered the stillness of the entire district.
The dragon's wing-like vortex sent gusts of wind blasting in every direction, forcing jonin and ANBU alike to leap back for cover.
😨 KURIARARE TERRIFIED — FIRST TASTE OF TRUE DESPAIR 😨
Kuriarare panicked.
He poured chakra into the river to fight back—But it was useless.
The water no longer obeyed him.
"NO! NO—DAMN IT!"
He thrashed, helpless—Like an insect caught in a storm.
"This is impossible… Who IS this kid?"
"This mastery over Water Style… It's not jonin-level…"
"This… is Kage-level. Or maybe…"
"Was he once a defector from the Hidden Mist?!"
👑 THE THIRD HOKAGE ARRIVES — THE FIGHT ENDS 👑
At that exact moment—
A commanding figure descended through the chaos.
A crimson cloak embroidered with the kanji for "Fire" fluttered behind him—Landing gently in the heart of the battlefield.
He raised one hand—
FWOOSH!
A wave of invisible chakra burst outward—Suppressing the area like a divine decree.Even the massive Water Dragon… paused mid-roar.
No mistaking it—
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
His sharp eyes locked onto Satoru—Then shifted toward the battered Kuriarare still caught in the river's grip.
His voice rang out, deep and unwavering:
"That's enough. What's going on here, Satoru?Speak."
Just one sentence—But it carried the kind of weight that commanded gods and stopped demons.
Satoru and Kuriarare—both froze.
The battle… was over.
