Tsunade and Kamui's duel took place atop Kage Rock.
It was night. The wind was somewhat boisterous, but it did not affect their battle.
Also appearing here
were numerous spectators.
Gui, Nohara Rin, Hyuga Oto, Yakushi Nonō, Two, the shrine maiden... and others.
When Hyuga Sho's Split Personality grew increasingly powerful, eventually driving Hyuga Sho to devote himself wholeheartedly to becoming stronger and potentially destroy the world...
commanding the Ninja Weapon army
and even commanding Konoha, as well as the other ninja villages,
became an important issue.
And Sakura Haruno, who had experience saving the world and had especially been enemies with Hyuga Sho for many years...
was undoubtedly the best candidate.
So...
defeating Tsunade
was equivalent to gaining the right to speak and the right to rule.
Hyuga Sho had always kept his demands simple.
The one with the bigger fists had the final say.
If Kamui defeated Tsunade, then... she would be the one in charge.
To Two and the others,
witnessing Kamui's strength and being convinced wholeheartedly was the authority Hyuga Sho had granted her.
"Have we met before?"
Tsunade and Kamui stood more than five meters apart, staring at each other.
Tsunade always felt a sense of familiarity.
As the one who had created the Copied Earth, Kamui had an inexplicable bond with many souls.
Especially those who had shared bonds with Kamui in the past.
They would all feel a sense of familiarity toward her.
"Maybe..."
Kamui smiled.
A flash of loneliness passed through her eyes.
Forgotten by the entire world,
with only the memories of saving the world remaining in her heart.
That feeling of solitude...
was also the source of her inner strength.
*I saved the world, but the world forgot me. But it doesn't matter. As long as the world is safe,
