  Shiuro the Konoha camp, where Sakumo Hatake was overseeing the restru. The camp had been frozen solid; they had to build a new one.

  "Whew, you're finally back."

  Kushina sighed in relief.

  "Where's that Tanuki? Don't tell me you lost it?"

  She hadn't seen Shukaku.

  "No, I didn't bring it here."

  The Konoha Shinobi were afraid of the Oail, so Shin had left it in a nearby forest.

  "Aren't you worried Suna will steal it back?" Mikoto asked.

  "They don't have the guts. Besides, Shukaku is under my trol. If Suna tries anything, I'll know."

  Shin said. He didn't think Suna would dare try anything after their humiliatireat.

  ....

  Several days passed. Suna and Ame remained quiet, avoiding any flict.

  They outnumbered Konoha, but they were forced to stay on the defehey were afraid of Shin's rge-scale Ice Release Jutsu.

  Konoha had the advantage on the Suna front, but the overall situation was still dire.

  At the Iwa front, with Hiruzen and Danzō, they had mao achieve a stalemate.

  But Konoha was also fag Kirigakure. And on that front, Konoha was losing. Kiri had even reached the heartnd of the Land of Fire.

  The Daimyo anig, sending messages to Hiruzen demanding an expnation. But those messages were useless. The Daimyo could only provide financial support; he couldn't help militarily.

  He did have an army, but it was posed of ordinary humans. Against Shinobi, they were on fodder.

  Shin was currently on his way to the Kiri front, apanied by Kushina, Mikoto, and Konan.

  The Sandaime Hokage had issued a special order, promoting Shin to Jōnin and sending him to the Kiri front.

  Shin had no objes. He had a mission to plete: help Konoha win the war.

  He couldn't let Konoha lose. Kiri ractically at their doorstep. Even if Hiruzen hadn't sent him, he would have found a way to deal with Kiri.

  ...

  "Will Konoha be able to handle Suna and Ame without us?" Mikoto asked Shin.

  "I'm not sure, but they won't lose."

  Shin wasn't fident that Sakumo Hatake could defeat Suna and Ame.

  He should have dealt them a heavier blow before leaving. But if Sakumo really couldn't ha, he could always return.

  For now, dealing with Kiri was the priority. They were almost at Konoha's doorstep. That was why Hiruzen had sent him.

  "Shin, you make this Tanuki run a bit slower? I'm getting dizzy," Kushina pined.

  "Just e for a bit longer. We'll be there soon," Shin said.

  Two hours ter, they arrived at the Kiri front. The Konoha Shinobi were desperately defending, but they couldn't hold back Kiri's attacks.

  The Third Mizukage ersonally leading the assault, sughtering Konoha Shinobi.

  Homura and Koharu, the Konoha elders, were c at the back. It athetic sight.

  "They're both elders of a Hidden Vilge. Why are they so much weaker than Chiyo and Ebizo?"

  Shin scoffed, spotting them hiding.

  But even if they joihe fight, it wouldn't make much differehey were only quasi-Kage level at best. And after years of inactivity, their bat skills were probably rusty.

  "Shukaku, it's your turn! Fire a Tailed Beast Bomb!"

  Shukaku's three-tomoe Sharingan spun. Yin and Yang Chakra gathered in its mouth, f a sphere that resembled a giant Rasengan.

  But its power was far greater.

  The Tailed Beast Bomb shot towards the Kiri Shinobi. Caught off guard, they couldn't defend in time.

  BOOM!

  The Tailed Beast Bomb obliterated hundreds of Kiri Shinobi. It might be a weaker Tailed Beast Bomb, but it was still a Tailed Beast Bomb.

  "Too bad they're so spread out. If they were all together, oailed Beast Bomb would have sent them all bae."

  Shin shook his head in mock disappoi.

  After two Tailed Beast Bombs, they couldn't hide anymore. the Oail was massive. If the Kiri Shinobi hadn't been focused on the Konoha Shinobi, they wouldn't have been able to unch a surprise attack.

  "Damn it!"

  The Mizukage cursed and abandoned his atta a Konoha Jōnin, turning to face the Oail.

  The other Kiri Shinobi also charged towards the Oail, their eyes filled with rage. They had been attacked from behind while fighting Konoha. And the Tailed Beast Bomb had killed many of their friends and family.

  They wanted revenge.

  With Kiri turning their attention to the Oail, the Konoha Shinobi sighed in relief.

  "So many of them... No wonder Homura couldn't hold them back."

  Shin observed the approag Kiri Shinobi. There were at least two or three thousand of them.

  Kushina and Mikoto looked at the horde, their hearts pounding. " you hahem, Shin?" they asked.

  "What are you worried about? Look at Konan. She's so calm. You should learn from her."

  "I-I was just speechless from shock..." Konan mumbled, blushing.

  "Ice Release: Ice Human Teique!"

  Shied a massive ice giant, almost as tall as his Perfect Susanoo. Even the Oail only reached its waist.

  "See that ice giant? Feel safe now?" Shin grinned.

  This was a new Ice Release Jutsu he had developed, based on the Wood Release: Wood Human Teique.

  It wasn't just Ice Release; it was a bination of Ice Release and Yang Release. The ice giant had been given life by Yang Release.

  "That's also Ice Release?"

  Kushina, Mikoto, and Konan stared at the giant in awe. Even Kushina and Mikoto, who had seen the Perfect Susanoo, were stunned.

  "It is Ice Release, but not ordinary Ice Release. It's like the Shodaime Hokage's Wood Release."

  Shin expined.
