Matatabi, am I too weak?

The Complete Form Two-Tails Matatabi, had its blue flames flickering violently, emitting a sharp cry.

It then raised its Claws, which were wreathed in blue flames, and slammed them down at Kanami.

In that instant, a Wood Human rose from beneath Kanami's feet, reaching a height of over a hundred meters, Matatabi it appeared delicate and small in comparison to the Wood Human Technique.

The beast's Claws fell Matatabi, tearing off only a few layers of bark from the Wood Human.

Kakashi and the others beneath him quickly used the Body Flicker Technique to get away from the Wood Human summoned by Kanami.

"This kind of Ninjutsu... if he had used this technique back then, Konoha would have been destroyed."

Kakashi looked up at the enormous Wood Human with lingering fear.

"This is amazing! Kanami is too monstrous! Neji!"

The two flames in Rock Lee's eyes burned even brighter.

Neji frowned. "Why did you call me? This is the first time I've ever seen my brother-in-law use his full power of Ninjutsu..."

"This... is he really a year younger than us...?" Tenten's mouth gaped slightly as the enormous Wood Human figure before her stood like an insurmountable wall.

"Kanami, this too..."

She murmured to herself, her eyes revealing her adoration and awe.

"He's my sister Hinata's brother-in-law, don't overthink it."

Neji glanced at the dazed Tenten.

This is the first time I've ever seen Tenten acting like a lovesick girl. I never expected a girl like her to show such emotions.

Neji felt a slight disdain in his heart.

"Don't call me 'sister'... it's weird, Neji- nii..."

Hinata to the side, scratched her cheek shyly, looking somewhat uncomfortable.

You idiot Kanami... why did you make Neji call me "sister"... really...

"I'm sorry, Hinata, I just admire... no, no, I just admire Kanami. I would never do something like stealing a friend's girlfriend!"

Tenten bowed and apologized.

Neji, standing to the side, crossed his arms and said, "Why did you blurt out your true feelings?"

Tenten raised her little fist, glaring at Neji Hyuga through gritted teeth. "Neji!"

"Haha, I understand."

Hinata covered her mouth with the back of her hand and smiled.

She wouldn't think about those complicated things, firstly because her little brain couldn't understand them, and secondly because she just wanted to try her best to keep up with Kanami and didn't want to fall too far behind.

Rather than being protected, she also wanted to shoulder some responsibility and protect others.

elephant:...

"They're really taking it easy, even though we're already in a state of war."

"Well, perhaps it's because Kanami's Ninjutsu was so impressive that the sense of security it brought made their tense hearts relax immediately," Kakashi said.

Hearing Kakashi's words, Xiang paused for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, even in the past, even in the war against Sunagakure not long ago, when we won, we never felt as at ease as I do right now."

"It's a pity, Akashi didn't win the Fifth Hokage election..."

Kakashi:??

"So it was you who orchestrated this back then?"

"Haha, I saw something different about him back then, but the Lord Third must have noticed it too, otherwise he wouldn't have recruited him into the Anbu."

It just didn't work.

Upon hearing the Third Hokage, "Kakashi fell silent.

He never had a very good impression of Hiruzen Sarutobi, but he couldn't say he hated him either; he just disagreed with some of the other's actions.

Just like the relationship between Danzō Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kakashi, as Elite Jonin who once belonged to the Anbu, has an unquestionable ability to gather intelligence.

He understood to some extent the subtle relationship between the two.

However, both of them are dead, so it's all in the past, but he still harbors resentment towards his father's suicide.

"..."

Kanami stood atop the Wood Human, looking down at the prostrate Matatabi Lu on the ground, her red hair flowing in the wind.

"Why did he get stronger so quickly!"

Yugito Nii was unwilling to accept this, and she had done her research on those who dared to fight this war. She knew that the opponent's Wood Human was only about fifty meters tall back then, and that his commonly used Ninjutsu Flying Thunder God Technique, the Darkness Technique, and so on.

She had roughly estimated that his strength was definitely not above that of Tailed Beast, and how much could he possibly grow in a year?

But she now realized that a year was just a small increase in Chakra for her, but for Akane in front of her, it was an exponential increase!

The opponent has yet to use any of my signature Ninjutsu, such as the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Has he become so powerful that he no longer needs to use Space-Time Ninjutsu?"

The more Yugito compared himself to the Fourth Raikage, the more he felt that he wasn't much different from the Brawler Fourth Raikage.

Her face was pale, and she managed to utter with difficulty, "Matatabi, am I too weak?"

Matatabi: "..."
