Naruto: I'm Nine-Tails and My Host is Kushina-Chapter 67 - : Uchiha is Too Difficult

Frost Country, Cloud Shinobi Camp.

Killer B carefully analyzed the surprise attack from the previous night. His usual playful demeanor was absent as he spoke in a serious tone.

"Brother, don't start suspecting our own people. There's no mole among us. There's only one explanation."

A's eyes narrowed slightly. It was rare to see B so solemn.

"And that is?"

"Konoha has deployed a ninja with special abilities ahead of time."

Despite his usual rapping and carefree nature, Killer B possessed keen instincts. As a Jinchūriki, his battle intuition was razor-sharp—something even Namikaze Minato had once acknowledged.

A considered his brother's words carefully.

He knew for certain that neither he nor Killer B could be compromised. The captains who had launched the assault last night were also beyond suspicion. That left only one possibility.

The enemy had anticipated their movements.

However, the weight of the situation didn't last long. Killer B quickly reverted to his usual self, grinning wildly.

"Brother, let's regroup and tear them to pieces!"

A's face, which had been shadowed by a frown, instantly broke into a grin as well.

"You're right, B. This isn't the time for doubt. It's time to fight!"

The bond between them, the infamous duo known as the A-B Combo, was unshakable. When together, they motivated and pushed each other to new heights, forming one of the most fearsome tag teams in the ninja world.

With an explosive burst of energy, they bumped fists, feeling each other's determination course through their veins. Their synchronization was absolute.

A's rough exterior often masked the fact that he was a meticulous strategist. He had already begun planning his next move. The losses suffered last night would be repaid in full. His pride as the Raikage's son demanded it.

"Konoha bastards... just wait. The next time we meet, you'll be the ones screaming."

His deep, menacing voice rumbled like a brewing storm.

Meanwhile, the news of Konoha's victory spread like wildfire.

The Third Hokage and his council were exhilarated upon learning that the Uchiha Clan had annihilated all 520 Cloud Shinobi at minimal cost.

Their pride swelled.

This victory sent a clear message to the entire world: the Land of Fire was not to be underestimated. Konoha was no weakling.

Morale skyrocketed across the village. This was more than just a battle won—it was a symbol of Konoha's might. Other troops across the battlefield took inspiration from the success, fueled by the momentum gained from this triumph.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, nodded approvingly.

"Yes... the Uchiha have proven themselves. Though their new clan head is young, she is undeniably capable."

The mention of Uchiha Mikoto made the Hokage's mind wander. As Tsunade's disciple, she carried an undeniable weight of responsibility.

In a way, she reminded him of Uzumaki Kushina. Tsunade truly had an eye for talent—three brilliant kunoichi had emerged under her guidance.

While the Hokage and his inner circle reveled in victory, not all were as pleased.

Danzo Shimura sat silently, his expression unreadable. Though the triumph was good for Konoha, it also posed a problem.

The Uchiha Clan was growing stronger.

The more powerful they became, the greater the potential threat to the village.

Danzo's cold gaze swept over the room, resting briefly on Hiruzen, Homura, and Koharu. His voice was measured but laced with warning.

"It's just a small-scale victory. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. And don't forget—the stronger the Uchiha become, the bigger the risk they pose."

Hiruzen's smile faded slightly as he countered with an authoritative tone.

"Danzo, the Uchiha are Konoha's shinobi. Your paranoia will only deepen the divide between them and the village. I suggest you choose your words carefully."

Danzo smirked.

"How noble of you, Third Hokage."

Despite his sarcastic response, he knew Hiruzen was aware of the truth.

The stronger the Uchiha became, the harder they would be to control.

Even Homura and Koharu, though typically inclined to side with Hiruzen, didn't refute Danzo's words too strongly this time.

"Danzo, be careful with your rhetoric. If word spreads, it will only sow distrust among the villagers. That is not the way to govern."

Danzo scoffed inwardly.

"Hypocrites. All of them."

His gut told him that the war itself wasn't the greatest concern. The real problem would come afterward.

While political maneuvering unfolded in Konoha, the battlefield was still alive with chaos.

Cloud Shinobi wasted no time in retaliating.

A mere three days after their failed night assault, they launched a second attack on Black Cloud Forest.

This time, there were no underhanded tactics. No sneaky infiltrations.

They came in full force, split into two separate battalions. One was personally led by A himself.

Inside the Konoha camp, a scout rushed toward Uchiha Mikoto, his voice urgent.

"Lady Mikoto! Cloud Shinobi are attacking again! This time, they've split into two groups and are approaching from both flanks! Their leader is none other than A, the Third Raikage's son!"

Mikoto's red eyes gleamed with intelligence as she processed the information.

"So... they're done lurking in the shadows and have decided to attack head-on. Interesting."

Despite the tension in the room, she smiled slightly.

"It seems the rumors about A's supposed lack of intelligence were false after all."

Her subordinates looked uneasy.

"Lady Mikoto, if we focus all our forces on A's group, what about the second battalion? They'll break through our defenses!"

Mikoto's smile didn't fade.

"That number of troops will be enough."

The confidence in her voice startled the shinobi around her.

Cloud Shinobi's forces were evenly split, yet Mikoto was dedicating all their main forces to A's side, leaving their other flank significantly weaker.

"If the other side is overwhelmed, we'll be completely surrounded!" one of her men argued.

Mikoto remained composed.

"Trust me."

The hesitation in the room was palpable. But after witnessing her strategic brilliance in the previous battle, none dared to challenge her outright.

They clenched their fists, steeled their nerves, and followed her orders.

In their hearts, they could only hope that the comrades left to defend the other side would hold their ground.

Because if Mikoto was wrong...

Konoha would face utter annihilation.
