After the intense battle a few days ago, Yu experienced significant growth in both strength and combat experience.

The integration of Thread Fruit and the Devil puppet's abilities became more seamless, and Yu's Chakra became increasingly refined, possessing the qualifications to impact the level of a Kage. The aura emanating from him at times was no longer fitting for a boy of eight or nine years old.

The battlefield indeed proved to be the best shortcut to enhancing strength.

What kind of monster is he?!

How old is he exactly? Has he already reached the level of the Hokage and the legendary Sannin?!

Although Yu spoke casually, the confidence revealed in his words shocked everyone present.

While achieving the rank of Kage at Yu's age was not unprecedented in the history of ninja, during the tumultuous Warring States era before the establishment of the Five Great Ninja Villages, there were many such individuals.

For instance, the Fourth Mizukage, who recently took office in the Hidden Mist Village, was said to be a youth similar in age to Yu. However, at least he was a Jinchuriki of the Three-Tails, possessing the power of a Tailed Beast.

And Yu? Despite possessing the unique bloodline limit of Thread Release, he is ultimately an unknown civilian ninja. Why does he, at this age, possess such unconventional strength?

"In tomorrow's battle, the Iwa ninja suffered losses last time, and they're likely to deploy even more forces," Akimichi Doto, the composed one, coughed to draw everyone's attention back to the upcoming fight. "But I've already sent a secret letter to Hokage-sama. I believe new reinforcements will soon come our way."

"Really? That's great!"

Upon hearing that reinforcements were on the way, the morale of the others skyrocketed.

"However..."

At this point, Akimichi Doto looked at Yu with a serious expression, "Tomorrow's battle, we'll be relying on you, Yu."

After all, from the previous battle, everyone knew that without Yu's performance in this war, Konoha would face total annihilation.

Feeling the solemn gaze of all the present ninjas, Yu's expression became serious, "Rest assured, leave it to me."

Tyrant, Michael, and now with the power of Toshogun...

Even if I face the fully-transformed Five tails Kokuo itself, I have the power to fight!

Watching the evening sky outside the camp turn red, Yu silently clenched his fist.

...

A night passed without words.

Early the next morning, the golden dawn shot up like an arrow.

After a night, the Iwa ninja army had set up a temporary camp outside the forest.

"Yawn..."

"When do you think those Konoha ninjas will come out?"

The Iwa ninja on guard duty, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, couldn't help but yawn.

"Those guys should be too scared to come out by now..."

"After all, Master Han's fully-transformed Tailed Beast is not something human strength can contend with."

Thinking of the destructive power of Five tails Jinchuriki Han on the battlefield a few days ago, another Iwa ninja seemed to have swallowed a calming pill.

"You two, stop chattering... Pay attention!"

"Don't let those Konoha guys slip out without us knowing!"

Upon hearing the conversation between the two Iwa ninja, a Jonin from Iwagakure who was patrolling the camp sternly reprimanded.

"Yes, sir!"

Upon hearing the superior's rebuke, the two Iwa ninja suddenly became alert, their bodies straightening up.

Seeing the reaction of his subordinates, the Iwagakure Jonin nodded in satisfaction.

"High Impact Whip!!"

However, at that moment, an unexpected event occurred.

In the dense forest next to the Iwa ninja's camp, a tremendously sharp and robust thread pillar suddenly shot out.

This thread pillar was formed by dozens of nearly transparent thin threads, reaching a length of almost several kilometers. It danced in the air like a wild python, cutting countless trees into segments in the blink of an eye.

"Be careful! It's an enemy attack!"

Seeing the sudden attack from the forest, the Iwagakure Jonin reacted immediately.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Rampart!!"

After all, being a Jonin from one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, the Iwagakure Jonin quickly formed hand seals, followed by forcefully pressing his hands onto the ground.

With a rumbling sound, the ground beneath everyone's feet continued to shake, and a vast wall of rocks and earth suddenly rose.

"Boom! Boom!!"

However, accompanied by intense explosions,

the power of the thread pillar that had suddenly burst forth in the forest ahead was tremendous.

The Earth Flow Rampart cast by the Iwagakure Jonin could only withstand for a moment before being instantly severed and shattered.

The entire Iwa ninja camp behind them was cut in half, and a dozen or so ninja, unable to utter a scream, fell into a pool of blood.

"Thread again?!"

"It's Yakushi Yu! That little devil from Konoha!!"

The entire camp was suddenly subjected to such a violent assault, and all the Iwa ninja were alarmed.

Most of the Iwa ninja present had participated in the Third Great Ninja War, and wartime ninja possessed qualities unmatched by those in peacetime. In less than a minute, the entire ninja army had assembled.

"After waiting for so long..."

"Have these Konoha guys finally decided to come out?"

A calm and deep voice resounded as Ozuchi, the son of Lord Third Tsuchikage, led the Iwa ninja army to the front of the camp.

Separated by a hundred meters, nearly a hundred Konoha ninja quickly rushed out of the forest. In addition to Akimichi Doto and Inuzuka Gaku, the lead ninja was the white-haired, black-clad youth who had left a deep impression on all the Iwa ninja.

"Konoha cowards!"

"After hiding for so long, you finally dare to come out and face us? Hahaha!"

The Iwagakure Jonin who had spoken earlier took a step forward and shouted.

"Hmph, I wonder who suffered heavy losses last time! Today, a few reinforcements have come, and you're already bragging again!"

Inuzuka Gaku, who was behind Yu, immediately retorted with a stern voice.

"It seems this war won't be easy..."

"Iwa ninja have indeed sent new reinforcements again."

Watching the larger Iwa ninja army in front of him compared to the last battle, Akimichi Doto had a serious expression.

"Kill them!"

On the other hand, Inuzuka Gaku didn't waste any words. Leading the charge, he directly confronted the Iwa ninja army with his large white dog.

"Take them down, everyone!"

Facing the Konoha ninja breaking out of the forest, Ozuchi didn't hesitate. He immediately commanded the Iwa ninja army to charge forward.

"Die!"

"Haha! Kill them all!"

"Slaughter them!"

Among the group of Konoha ninja, Yu followed closely behind Inuzuka Gaku. With a powerful flow of chakra, a simple Body Flicker Jutsu, and in a few swift movements, he had crossed over a hundred meters, appearing in front of the Iwa ninja army.

"Last time, I let you escape by luck. I didn't expect you to dare to come out again."

At this moment, a blood-red light thread flashed out from the Iwa ninja army, directly blocking Yu's path.

With a tall and sturdy build, Han, the Jinchuriki of the Five Tails, emitted a deep red Tailed Beast Chakra that bubbled out like bubbles. Surprisingly, Han directly activated the first stage of Tailed Beast transformation!

After the last battle, Han was well aware that if he didn't stop Yu and allowed the young ninja to free up his hands to deal with their side's other ninja, the consequences would be unimaginable. This highlighted the decisive role that an elite-level force plays in a war.
