The news of Hatake Sakumo's arrival in Kumogakure had not been known by many people, but after A's commotion, many of the ninjas in Kumogakure gathered around.
They all looked curiously at the Konoha White Fang, whose name had shaken the Shinobi World, with little rejection on their faces.
With the Uchiha Clan setting a precedent, they could hardly welcome enough powerful people who could strengthen Kumogakure.
As more and more people gathered, A simply pulled Hatake Sakumo to Cloud Thunder Gorge.
This was where Killer B usually trained. Even the Eight-Tails had enough room to wreak havoc here, making it the perfect place for a battle.
"Lord A, you have to win!"
"Show them the spirit of Kumogakure's ninjas! Don't embarrass us!"
"Just thinking about seeing the Konoha White Fang fight gets me excited."
Not only Kumogakure's ninjas, but even members of the Uchiha Clan hurried over enthusiastically.
Watching a battle between such powerful fighters was an invaluable opportunity for every ninja.
Having encountered something like this right after arriving in Kumogakure, Hatake Sakumo felt a bit of pressure.
Somewhat at a loss, he looked toward Uchiha Yuzuru.
Uchiha Yuzuru said unconcernedly, "Don't even think about holding back. As long as you don't kill A on the spot, no one will trouble you over this."
"Understood."
Hatake Sakumo took a deep breath, calmed himself, and silently brought himself into peak condition.
Seeing this, A immediately activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode and charged at Hatake Sakumo.
Their battle had none of the flashy tricks, only a clash of speed pushed to its limits.
Blade light flashed, and lightning roared!
The battle lasted less than half an hour before Hatake Sakumo defeated A by a narrow margin.
When Hatake Sakumo's short blade struck A near the heart from behind, cheers erupted
