The Second Great Ninja World War had been going on for several years. Countless geniuses had emerged, and countless heroes had died. Every so often, some event or piece of news would capture people's eyes and ears, but there had never been anything this shocking!

After the disaster had passed, he had survived the heavy mist alone despite suffering severe losses. Then, after rescuing his teacher and teammates, he had coordinated their strength and wiped out eleven Kirigakure ninja in one stroke, including a jonin, Hashimoto Yasunari. Looking further back, he had fought alongside three greatsword masters—Munashi Jinpachi, Jinin Akebino, and Kushimaru Kuriarare—yet had never suffered a loss. He had even killed one of them, earning the name—Sharp Fang!
