"Ren Uchiha, when do we start the next phase of the plan?" Suzuki Hyuga asked, looking at Ren Uchiha seated beside him.
"Don't rush. Shishio Mitarashi is a Kage-level powerhouse, and that brat Kai Mitarashi is the youngest Kage-level ninja in the world, isn't he? Plus, with those civilian ninjas, I estimate the Mist Ninjas will need some time to kill them. Once the Mist Ninjas are weakened, our two clans can strike and win the war. This way, not only can we get rid of Shishio Mitarashi and Kai Mitarashi, but the war achievements in the Land of Water will be ours," Ren Uchiha said confidently.
Suzuki Hyuga frowned, "But what if the Mist Ninjas can't kill Shishio Mitarashi and that brat Kai Mitarashi?"
"Hmph, the Mist Ninjas have sent two Jinchuriki, and elite Jonin like Kisame Hoshigaki, along with thousands of Mist Ninja troops. How could they not kill those two?" Ren Uchiha replied dismissively.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm back alive."
Ren Uchiha and Suzuki Hyuga were speaking openly. Before even entering the tent, Kai heard their conversation and spoke up.
Hearing the voice, Ren Uchiha and Suzuki Hyuga shivered and turned to see Kai, accompanied by Shishio Mitarashi and other ninjas like Ino-Shika-Cho.
Not only Kai heard the conversation, but even someone as calm and rational as Shikaku was filled with indignation.
"You, how could you possibly be back alive? Impossible, we... I mean, you must have fled back here. Damn it, as Konoha ninjas, you became deserters!" Ren Uchiha stammered, panic evident on his face.
"Deserters?" Kai sneered, "If we're deserters, then what about you?"
"We... we planned to appear at the end and catch the Mist Ninjas by surprise. Now that you've returned, our plan is ruined."
Ren Uchiha seemed to gain confidence as he spoke, finally pointing at Kai Mitarashi, "I order you, Kai Mitarashi, to return to the battlefield immediately, or I will report this to the Hokage."
Hearing Ren Uchiha's words, Kai couldn't help but laugh, "Sorry, I don't think I can return to the battlefield."
"Why?" Ren Uchiha instinctively asked.
"Because we've already wiped out the Mist Ninjas," Kai coldly replied.
"Impossible! The Mist Ninjas..."
Before Ren Uchiha could finish, his eyes widened, and he coughed up blood. Slowly lowering his head, he saw Kai's fist had pierced through his heart.
"You dare to kill me? I am of the Uchiha clan... ahhh!"
Before Ren Uchiha could finish, he was engulfed in lava, letting out a final scream before turning to ash.
"Annoying!"
Kai said, turning his gaze to Suzuki Hyuga.
Seeing Kai ruthlessly kill Ren Uchiha, Suzuki Hyuga was filled with panic.
"Kai Mitarashi, you can't kill me. I'm a clan elder of the Hyuga family. This... this was all Ren Uchiha's plan, nothing to do with me, it was all his fault."
As he spoke, Suzuki Hyuga retreated, accidentally tripping and falling.
Kai stepped forward, grabbing Suzuki Hyuga by the collar, eyes cold, "You can discuss this with Ren Uchiha in hell."
With that, Kai's left eye turned into a Byakugan, staring at Suzuki Hyuga.
"How can you..."
Suzuki Hyuga's eyes widened, staring at Kai's left eye, but his throat was tightly gripped by Kai, unable to utter a word.
Kai's left eye then turned into a Tenseigan, the blue pupil spinning, as Suzuki Hyuga's Byakugan withered, like dried wood.
Following that, Suzuki Hyuga met the same fate as Ren Uchiha, turning to ash.
After killing Ren Uchiha and Suzuki Hyuga, Kai's killing intent remained undiminished. He silently headed for the tent's exit, only to be stopped by Shishio Mitarashi.
"Kai, that's enough. The Hokage will decide what happens next."
Shishio Mitarashi had to stop Kai, knowing that with Kai's current killing intent, he wouldn't rest until he'd wiped out every Uchiha and Hyuga on the battlefield in the Land of Water.
But that couldn't happen. The Uchiha and Hyuga ninjas on the battlefield in the Land of Water made up two-thirds of their clans. If they all died, those families would definitely revolt.
As the head of Konoha's Anbu, Shishio Mitarashi couldn't ignore the situation, no matter how much he hated the Uchiha and Hyuga. At this moment, only he could stop Kai.
Glancing at his uncle, Kai exhaled and said calmly, "Alright, but if the Hokage can't give me an explanation for this, I'll wipe out the Uchiha and Hyuga. That way, there won't be any riots, right?"
Kai's words were filled with killing intent, even more so than before.
"Alright."
Shishio Mitarashi sighed, knowing that no one could change Kai's mind. Now, he could only hope that the Third Hokage would severely punish the Uchiha and Hyuga.
"The Three-Tails and Six-Tails have fully manifested. Those two Jinchuriki won't live long. Until they find suitable Jinchuriki, the Mist Ninjas will likely retreat to the Land of Water. The war there is almost over. Shikaku, you three go organize the ninja troops. We'll return to the village tomorrow."
"Yes, Lord Shishio."
Shikaku and his two companions bowed to Shishio Mitarashi and left the tent with the other ninjas.
After a night of rest and reorganization, with the help of medical ninjas, almost all the surviving ninjas were able to move again. The ninja troops stationed in the Land of Water began their return to Konoha.
The Third Ninja War is almost over! But the most exciting parts are yet to come: the struggle for the Hokage position, the Nine-Tails, Danzo, and more. The plot is about to explode with excitement...
