NOVEL WEB Chapter 64: Chapter 64 : A-B Team
The Land of Frost.
Located to the north of the Land of Fire and bordering the Land of Lightning to the west and south, it serves as a battlefield when tensions rise between the great nations.
War between major powers never occurs within their own lands. Instead, smaller nations bear the brunt of these conflicts, suffering immense devastation. The true victims of war are not the great shinobi villages but the nations caught in the crossfire.
To be weak in the shinobi world is to be at the mercy of the strong.
This is the reality of war.
The Land of Frost has become the primary battleground in the ongoing conflict between Konohagakure and Kumogakure.
At the heart of this war stands Black Cloud Forest, a dense and treacherous woodland that serves as Konoha's defensive line. The elite Uchiha Clan, led by Uchiha Mikoto, alongside other Konoha shinobi, have fortified this position.
It is an advantageous battleground for Konoha.
The terrain favors them. The Land of Fire is naturally rich in forests, making woodland combat second nature to Konoha shinobi. Black Cloud Forest stretches for miles, acting as a crucial gateway to the Land of Fire. If Kumogakure were to break through, their forces would pour into Fire Country, making any counteroffensive nearly impossible.
Standing against Konoha's defenses is the Kumogakure army, led by none other than A—the son of the Third Raikage—and his partner, Killer Bee.
At this point, Bee is still young but already a Perfect Jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails. The world remains unaware of Kumogakure's success in taming a tailed beast completely. Normally, deploying a Jinchūriki in war is a double-edged sword. If the beast goes berserk, it becomes a threat to both sides.
But Killer Bee is different.
Kumogakure has mastered the art of training Jinchūriki. Bee has already gained the full approval of the Eight-Tails, making him a formidable weapon of war.
Beside him stands the Second-Tails' Jinchūriki, Yugito Nii. Though younger and still mastering her abilities, the Third Raikage has full confidence that she will one day reach Killer Bee's level. It is only a matter of time before she, too, becomes a Perfect Jinchūriki.
Now, the Kumogakure army camps just miles from Black Cloud Forest.
A war council is underway.
Despite his reputation for recklessness, A is no fool. He doesn't charge into battle without a plan. With Killer Bee at his side, he intends to crush Konoha's defenses and carve a path straight into Fire Country.
"Bee, before we begin—"
"Yo, yo, fist bump, fist bump, fight!"
Killer Bee's rap is as terrible as ever, but A has grown used to it.
At that moment, a Kumogakure scout rushes into the tent, panting heavily.
"Lord A, Lord Bee! We have confirmation—the forces guarding Black Cloud Forest are led by the Uchiha Clan."
A's lips curled into a grin.
Sharingan.
He doesn't fear it. No Sharingan can keep up with his speed.
"Yo, yo, I'm Eight-Tails Jinchūriki! Sharingan? Ain't no worry for me!"
Bee throws another freestyle rap. The surrounding shinobi try not to cringe.
Bee, as a Perfect Jinchūriki, is practically immune to the Uchiha's Genjutsu. This battle would not be won through illusion.
A, however, sees another opportunity.
"The Uchiha make for a fine target," he muses. Cloud has already attempted to steal the Sharingan once. This time, A plans to take them openly—on the battlefield.
"There will be no secret missions this time. We kill them all. And we take everything."
His voice is cold. Unforgiving.
Kumogakure has not forgotten the deaths of C and D—the two shinobi who once attempted to capture the Sharingan and the Uzumaki heiress from Konoha, only to be slain.
Tonight, A intends to settle that score.
"For revenge!"
"For revenge!"
"For revenge!"
The war cry roars through the camp, shaking the very earth.
A and Killer Bee will unleash their combined technique—the Double Lariat—for the first time on the battlefield. Their goal is simple:
Twist every Uchiha's head off their shoulders.
Meanwhile, deep within Black Cloud Forest, Uchiha Mikoto prepares for war.
"Lady Mikoto, we've confirmed our enemy—the Kumogakure army is led by A, son of the Third Raikage."
Mikoto narrows her eyes. A formidable opponent. This confirms that Kumogakure has come prepared for a full-scale war.
She cannot afford a loss.
If they fail to hold the forest, the Uchiha will be disgraced. Worse, the Land of Fire itself will be at risk.
"We will win this first battle," she declares. "We will crush Cloud's advance and remind them of our power."
Her voice carries through the ranks, igniting the spirits of the Uchiha forces.
"For Konoha!"
"For Konoha!"
"For Konoha!"
A fierce war cry shakes the trees.
Mikoto surveys her soldiers and suddenly spots a familiar figure.
A man she never expected to see here.
Kurama.
She almost calls his name aloud before he raises a single hand, signaling silence.
A smile tugs at her lips.
The Uchiha warriors freeze.
They had never seen their leader smile in the heat of war.
One of the younger Uchiha stammers, "L-Lady Mikoto, did you just say something?"
"Nothing," she replies smoothly. "Get back to your stations."
But internally, her thoughts are racing.
Kurama is here.
This can only mean one thing.
The Nine-Tails has left Kushina's body.
This changes everything.
With Kurama on the battlefield, the Uchiha now have a guaranteed victory.
Even if A himself stands on the other side…
Even if the Third Raikage arrives in person…
Uchiha Mikoto will not lose.
Kurama grins, baring his fangs.
"Yo, Eight-Tails."
His voice rumbles through the forest, rich with amusement.
"Did you miss me?"
