"According to our investigation, a portion of the Uzumaki clansmen are imprisoned here. While Kazuki is distracting the Kirigakure ninjas, let's quickly get them out of here." Nawaki said.
From a rational perspective, Nawaki knew that Kazuki's actions were not problematic. In Kazuki's words, it was a matter of 'a dead comrade is better than a dead me.' Although this would cause immense destruction to Kirigakure, it would also minimize Konoha's losses to the greatest extent.
Even though Nawaki felt that this was somewhat improper, it was all for Konoha. Even he couldn't say anything against it.
As for Mikoto, Minato, and Rinka, they were even less likely to speak up. Kazuki's actions were not problematic. Strategically, it was the best choice.
However, very quickly, even Nawaki was seething with rage, completely unable to remain calm.
How could they do this? Why would they treat the Uzumaki like this?
He finally understood why Kazuki was so furious.
"Have they started moving?"
Kazuki stood on the Three-Tails' head, constantly sensing the surrounding auras. In particular, the actions of Nawaki, Minato, Mikoto, and Rinka had always been watched by him. The four of them were already quite strong, but he couldn't truly ignore them.
If it came down to it, he was ready to act at any moment and destroy Kirigakure.
However, judging by Madara's demeanor, he didn't seem to have any intention of stopping him. So what were they doing now?
Kazuki spread his sensory ability across half of the Ninja World. If the target were just an ordinary ninja, Kazuki wouldn't be able to expand the range so much. If the Tailed Beast Chakra was sealed, he would have some trouble sensing it. But if it was released, then he could sense it immediately.
He sensed for a moment, and quickly, his expression changed dramatically. Good grief, while he was controlling the Three-Tails to destroy Kirigakure, the Six-Tails had already run off to the Land of Fire. Madara was planning something big.
Once the Six-Tails causes massive destruction in the Land of Fire, then who will be the best choice to stop the Six-Tails?
Besides Kazuki, it would be Mito. If Mito truly needed to act, then she would probably perish.
Thinking of this possibility, Kazuki's eyes were filled with chilling cold light. He needed to speed up his pace. He controlled the Three-Tails to continue causing massive destruction within Kirigakure.
...
While Kazuki was controlling the Three-Tails to destroy Kirigakure, a huge change occurred in the war between Konoha and Kirigakure.
Homura never expected the Third Mizukage to suddenly come to the Land of Fire, it was completely unforeseen by him.
Moreover, Kirigakure had launched a large-scale attack on Konoha's defenses. As soon as this attack began, they directly released the Six-Tails, which instantly made Homura tremble with fear. He knew his own strengths and weaknesses.
Although he was the commander of the Land of Water battlefield and a student of the Second Hokage, Tobirama, his strength was not particularly outstanding.
Among ordinary ninjas, he was a standout, but he could not become a top-tier expert. Whether it was the Third Mizukage or the Six-Tails, Homura couldn't defeat either of them.
He felt that his small frame simply couldn't contend with these two guys.
To deal with these guys, Homura actually thought of Kazuki. If it were Kazuki, perhaps he could suppress the Third Mizukage and the Six-Tails.
However, he remembered that Kazuki was in the Land of Water and had never followed his orders. As the commander of the Land of Water battlefield, he didn't even have the authority to command Kazuki.
It wasn't that he hadn't expressed dissatisfaction with Kazuki, and he had even contacted the village. But Kazuki completely ignored him, stating that he was an Anbu, a direct unit belonging only to the Hokage.
"What right does an elder have to command Konoha? What? Are you trying to rebel?"
Kazuki's words infuriated Homura, and when he reported it to Hiruzen, Hiruzen appeased him, but regarding Kazuki's command authority, Hiruzen said nothing.
He couldn't understand whether Homura was foolish or feigning foolishness.
Why should Kazuki obey your command?
If Kazuki hadn't become famous, then your command would be fine. But now, Kazuki has already become Konoha's strongest expert.
Since when did you all lose all respect for the strong?
Do you really want to force Kazuki to become another Madara?
The current Ninja World doesn't have Hashirama to stop Kazuki.
Someone like Kazuki, you should be coaxing him, yet you still want to command him?
Moreover, Kazuki made a very valid point. At least Kazuki was an Anbu.
Did Homura want to casually command and interfere? Wasn't he overstepping his bounds a bit?
Normally, Hiruzen could turn a blind eye to these matters, as his Hokage authority still needed the support and maintenance of these old friends.
But now it was wartime, and facing Kazuki, Hiruzen knew that his power was already established, and even he was powerless to stop it. The choice that best suited his interests was to do a favor. He chose to support Kazuki.
If Kazuki's strength were like Kagami's, he could do other things, and Kazuki wouldn't be the first choice for Hokage.
But Kazuki's strength had already reached the level of the former Hashirama and Madara, so Hiruzen had no choice but to compromise.
This was based on Hanzo's combat power and Mito's evaluation.
Hiruzen also chose to believe this possibility. It's good that Kazuki's strength is great. If Konoha could go back more than 20 years, it would seem quite good.
When Homura saw the Third Mizukage and the Six-Tails, his first action was to have Fugaku lead the Uchiha clan to confront the Six-Tails.
Your Uchiha clan claims that the Sharingan can control Tailed Beasts, right? Then the Six-Tails is yours to handle.
As for himself, he called upon the experts on the battlefield and confronted the Third Mizukage
