"Who's there!"

The Raikage, Kinkaku, and Ginkaku stared in confusion at the suddenly appearing Otsutsuki Yuhao.

At that moment, Otsutsuki Yuhao was holding up a large camera they had never seen before.

Otsutsuki Yuhao stood on a circular black ring formed from a Truth-Seeking Orb, filming the three of them.

[Wood Release: Wood Golem Technique]

Suddenly, Senju Tobirama's voice rang out.

Countless trees rapidly sprouted from the ground. In the blink of an eye, they merged and began growing at an astonishing speed, soon forming a colossal wooden golem a hundred meters tall, with combat strength comparable to an ordinary Complete Body Susanoo [100 meters].

The three Raikage stared blankly at the terrifying giant before them.

Senju Tobirama stood atop the wooden golem's head, his hands clasped together as he gazed coldly down at the three men.

"There's still time to stop this war!"

"Otherwise, you're going to suffer."

Senju Tobirama's voice rang out.

"Then let me see whether the legendary forbidden art, Wood Release, is really as powerful as the stories say!"

The Raikage wasn't about to surrender without a fight. He began attacking the wooden golem.

One minute later.

The First Raikage admitted defeat.

Not just the Raikage—even Kinkaku and Ginkaku looked utterly helpless as they stared at Senju Tobirama.

The Land of Lightning had lost.

"The First Great Ninja War: Ninja World's Speed versus Kumogakure's strongest, the First Raikage, and the Twin Lights of the Cloud.

Ninja World's Speed, Senju Tobirama, wins."

Otsutsuki Yuhao kept filming as he narrated.

"Damn it!"

Seeing Otsutsuki Yuhao still talking away,

Ginkaku's gaze turned vicious.

"I can't beat Senju Tobirama, but I can still take you down!"

Ginkaku thought to himself.

He immediately fired a Truth-Seeking Orb at Otsutsuki Yuhao.

"What's going on? I haven't even blamed you for losing so quickly and leaving me with such a short video.

I didn't complain, but now you think I'm an easy target?

You can't beat Tobirama, so you're taking it out on me?"

Otsutsuki Yuhao stared at Ginkaku in surprise.

Just as the three-meter-wide red Tailed Beast Bomb was about to hit Otsutsuki Yuhao,

Otsutsuki Yuhao finally reacted. He lifted his left hand and lightly tapped it with one finger.

The Tailed Beast Bomb Ginkaku had fired at Otsutsuki Yuhao shot back at several times its original speed.

It was so fast that Ginkaku couldn't react in time.

Rumble!

After a thunderous crash, Ginkaku was struck by his own Tailed Beast Bomb.

A red glow of chakra enveloped his entire body, tearing it apart with furious force.

"Argh!"

Scream after scream escaped Ginkaku's mouth.

"Ginkaku!"

Kinkaku cried out in shock.

He had never imagined Ginkaku would be injured by his own Tailed Beast Bomb.

"Yah!"

Only when Kinkaku released all of his Tailed Beast Chakra did he realize that another kind of power had been mixed into the chakra on Ginkaku.

It was Senjutsu Chakra.

Otherwise, even if Ginkaku had been hit by his own Tailed Beast Bomb, he shouldn't have been so badly hurt.

"He deflected Ginkaku's Tailed Beast Bomb with a casual flick, and even infused it with his own chakra.

He did all of that in such a short time—almost in an instant.

That's incredible!"

The Raikage stared intently at Otsutsuki Yuhao in the sky.

Although Otsutsuki Yuhao hadn't released any noticeable aura,

the Raikage instinctively sensed danger coming from him.

"Senior Yuhao, what brings you here?"

"You said you were a war correspondent. What exactly does that mean?"

Senju Tobirama looked at Otsutsuki Yuhao in confusion. He had no idea what Otsutsuki Yuhao was up to.

There were no reporters in this era, so Senju Tobirama didn't know what a reporter was.

Still, he could roughly guess from the word "reporter" that it had something to do with recording events. What exactly they would record, however, he wasn't sure.

"A war correspondent's job is to record the classic battles on the battlefield, of course."

Otsutsuki Yuhao smiled.

"I see. How are things going on Izuna's front?"

Senju Tobirama asked curiously.

He knew Otsutsuki Yuhao must have a clone in the Land of Earth.

"Izuna's faster than you. He went straight into Complete Body Susanoo as soon as he arrived.

The First Tsuchikage brought three thousand shinobi, but Izuna beat them all."

Otsutsuki Yuhao replied.

"That guy sure is ruthless. I bet plenty of people died at his hands!

Once we get back to Konoha, Big Brother Hashirama will have his hands full."

Senju Tobirama said helplessly.

"No, Izuna didn't kill anyone this time! He used genjutsu.

Most of those three thousand shinobi fell under his genjutsu.

Only the First Tsuchikage and a few others managed to resist it.

But they were still defeated by his Susanoo!"

Otsutsuki Yuhao replied.

"Damn, that's so unfair! He cheated by using genjutsu."

Senju Tobirama couldn't help cursing.

Before setting out for the Land of Lightning, Senju Tobirama had bet Uchiha Izuna on who could end their respective battle first.

But Senju Tobirama hadn't expected that, against shinobi weaker than himself,

genjutsu would prove so much more effective than ordinary ninjutsu.

"What? Did I hear that right? The Land of Earth lost to Uchiha Izuna.

Doesn't that mean the Land of Water and the Land of Wind have also already been defeated by Konoha's Hokage and Deputy Hokage?"

The Raikage was shocked.

"You heard right. Just as Tobirama began fighting you, Madara and Hashirama had already wrapped up their respective battles."

Otsutsuki Yuhao said calmly.

Just then, Otsutsuki Yuhao spoke again.

"Oh, right!"

"Konoha's Hokage, Senju Hashirama, asked me to pass along a message.

In three days, he plans to hold a Five Kage Summit.

He's inviting the Kage of your four nations to attend the meeting in Konoha."

Hearing Otsutsuki Yuhao's words, the Raikage nodded. "All right, I'll attend!"

He'd been outmatched; it was only a meeting.

The Raikage didn't refuse.

Just then, Kinkaku's face darkened like storm clouds were gathering overhead, his expression utterly grim. His younger brother had already passed out.

Senju Tobirama hadn't injured his brother that badly.

But in Otsutsuki Yuhao's hands, Ginkaku hadn't even been able to withstand a single move.

Of course, that was because Senju Tobirama hadn't gone all out. If he had, he could have killed Ginkaku just as easily.

Kinkaku glared furiously at Otsutsuki Yuhao.

"Who exactly are you?"

"I've never heard of anyone like you in the Ninja World!"

Otsutsuki Yuhao's gaze flickered across Kinkaku and Ginkaku.

"They carry the auras of Indra and Asura. It looks like they're descendants born from the union of Indra and Asura's descendants generations from now.

No wonder their bloodlines are so close to Big Brother Hagoromo's."

Otsutsuki Yuhao thought to himself.

"My surname is Otsutsuki!"

"What!"

Kinkaku was shocked, because only the Sage of Six Paths and his recent descendants had that surname.

If someone else had that surname, Kinkaku might not have thought much of it.
