"What do you mean, chakra on par with Monkey's? Do you even know what you're saying?"
Yamanaka Fū said gravely, "I suspect the Five Kage are fighting over there, with the Third Hokage facing the other four alone."
"Impossible! Why would they come here instead of dealing with the Mangekyō Sharingan on the battlefield?"

"After the war,
