"The Mizukage? Why is he here?" Hyuga Hiashi asked Uchiha Yu, pointing at Karatachi Yagura.
"And why did you reach the Kumogakure Battlefield so quickly? Is the fighting on the Kirigakure front already over?" Hyuga Hiashi continued.
Uchiha Yu said, "Kirigakure is on our side now. I'll explain the rest later. For now, let's deal with these Kumogakure ninja."
With that, everyone turned toward the twenty-odd Kumogakure ninja before them, killing intent flashing in their eyes.
The Kumogakure ninja were utterly baffled to see Karatachi Yagura standing alongside Konoha's ninja.
Still, one thing was certain: they were all enemies!
"Brothers! Kill them, and we'll earn ourselves a huge reward!" One Kumogakure ninja drew his ninja blade and charged at Uchiha Yu's group with a furious shout.
His call brought an instant response, and more than twenty ninja charged at them.
Their momentum made it seem as though they meant to crush Uchiha Yu outright.

Both their speed and their sheer number were astonishing.
Within mere seconds, the storm of shuriken turned all twenty-odd Kirigakure ninja into pincushions.
They collapsed one after another.
"Where is the Hokage now?" Uchiha Yu asked. "I need to discuss our next move with him!"

Uchiha Fugaku was still studying a map, considering what to do next.
Suddenly, he saw a group of people walk in.
Uchiha Fugaku was just about to speak when he froze.
It wasn't just Uchiha Yu and
