"Sorry, he suddenly lunged at me, and I instinctively..."

Hearing the exclamation of praise from the customer representative behind him, the young man gripping Xiao Zi's neck grinned sheepishly, then looked innocently at the man opposite him who was standing ready for battle.

"Han, be careful."

The King Mu in the Tailed Beast Card sniffed and frowned slightly.

"This guy is one of your kind."

"Lao Mu, you're saying he's a knight too?"

Han narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, racking his brains for information about the other knights, but found that none of them matched the young man before him.

"Bastard, let...let me go!"

Little Purple's face was now flushed red from lack of oxygen. Her arms, which had been struggling, hung limply at her sides. Smelly white foam spilled from her incoherent mouth, making her look like she was about to visit the Pure Land.

"purple!"

Seeing his disciple's breath growing weaker and weaker, Onoki's previous smug expression vanished, and he turned to go and provide support.

"Bah!"

However, the moment he lifted his leg, a gleaming short blade blocked his path.

"Do you think I don't exist?"

"Get out of the way!"

Looking at Kakuzu blocking his way, Onoki's gloomy tone was filled with anger.

"Otherwise, the next time it will be your Taki no Kuni."

"You are welcome anytime."

Kakuzu was not afraid of Onoki's threats at all.

Under his wise and powerful leadership, the Kingdom of Taki, which made its fortune by producing high-quality counterfeit products, is now a prosperous and powerful nation, showing signs of catching up with the five great nations.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Onoki was so enraged by Kakuzu's attitude that he uttered several "good"s, but the murderous intent in his words was clearly audible.

"Then go die now!"

The next second, as he raised his hands, a huge, transparent white cube enveloped Kakuzu's body.

【Dust Release: Particle Style Detachment Technique】

Sensing the threat of death, Kagura spread its wings in a fraction of a second.

Swish-!

Just before being disintegrated by Dust Release, he flashed close, appearing in front of Onoki who had raised his hand, and swung his short blade down with a swift motion.

"Bah!"

Onoki, sent flying by a single sword strike, landed awkwardly. Looking at the sword wound that had almost pierced his armor, his eyes darkened further.

"Teacher, I'll take care of Zi. You focus on the battle."

Seeing that Onoki was losing ground in the battle because he was distracted by his own side, Han immediately shouted loudly,

"henshin!"

With that, he inserted the Five-Tailed Card into the driver, transforming into the slender White Horse Knight. His huge compound eyes stared intently at the young man controlling Komurasaki, and steam was gathering at his joints, ready to be released, searching for an opportunity to rescue him.

"Oh no, he's recovered."

Danzo's expression tightened upon seeing this. He hadn't expected Han to recover so quickly. The young man he had hired might be strong, but he was still just a human. How could he possibly contend with a Tailed Beast Rider?

"A knight like Grandpa Laodu?"

Strangely enough, even after Han transformed into an imposing Tailed Beast Rider, the young man showed no fear; instead, his eyes gleamed with curiosity.

"Kid, release Zi now and hand over those three guys, and I personally promise to spare your life."

Han remembered King Mu's warning and did not act rashly. Instead, he probed the enemy with words.

"Han Kuai."

This really worried Little Purple, who was suffering from oxygen deprivation. Was Han trying to kill him so he could inherit the old man's mantle?

"Letting him go is not impossible, but these people are important clients of mine and the jailer."

The young man shook his head, and under the incredulous gazes of Danzo and the others, casually tossed the bloated, monkey-like little purple into the stinking swamp some distance away.

"what?"

Danzo almost jumped up in panic. How could you just throw away such an important hostage like that?

"Are you crazy?"

Just as he was about to unleash a torrent of curses in anger, something the young man in front of him pulled out of his robes instantly silenced Danzo.

"How is this possible? Who are you?"

Seeing the familiar gray Driver, Danzo's eyes widened in disbelief. No matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't guess which knight's successor the young man before him was.

"I am Qianyi, a young man from a small town who loves food."

Turning his head to the bewildered Danzo and the others, he flashed a perfectly healthy smile. After introducing himself, Chihiro unzipped his shirt and pulled off the card hanging around his neck.

Thanks to his superior eyesight, Danzo clearly saw the grotesque, terrifying piranha on the card. His pupils contracted slightly, and memories sealed for over twenty years were instantly awakened.

That is…

"Do you recognize the monster on that card?"

Xiu, who was standing nearby, also saw the card in Chihiro's hand, but knowing nothing about it, he could only ask Danzo, who seemed to know something.

"So that's how it is. He's the child that woman was carrying all those years ago."

Danzo seemed not to hear, muttering in a low voice with a complicated expression, which explained why the other party was with Kakuzu and even called him grandfather.

"Lao Mu, is he also your brother?"

"I'm not that ugly, bro!"

Faced with Han's slanderous remarks, King Mu was so angry that he kicked his hooves wildly, but even so, he still didn't forget to speak up and remind him.

"Don't be careless, that's a monster that the old man sealed away."

"monster?"

"That's right, the kind that eats countless people."

"Crack!"

With a slightly awkward motion, Chihiro fastened the driver to her waist, then picked up the card in her hand and gently stroked it a few times, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"Mother, please lend me your power."

"roar~"

As if in response to Chiyori's call, a roar filled with love echoed in his mind. With permission granted, he raised his left hand and slowly pushed the card into the slot at his waist.

"Inject Neo".

As dark red energy surged into his body, Qianyi's black pupils gradually transformed into bloodthirsty beastly eyes.

"Amazo!"

"boom!"

With a powerful shout, a scorching aura emanated from his body, and red vein-like patterns climbed up his silver-blue armor at a visible speed. The harmless youth transformed into a ferocious knight filled with malice in the crimson flames.

"Crack!"

After stretching its claw-covered hands, Amazoo Neo transformed into the new generation Amazoo, assuming a wild and aggressive charging stance.

"The smell of blood is so strong. How many people have you eaten?"

Han sniffed, his stomach churning. The thick, bloody smell emanating from the unfamiliar knight made even this ninja, who was used to killing, feel physically uncomfortable.

"Roar!"

His response was met with a thousand wings swooping down with their sharp claws.

"Sizzle!" Han instinctively raised his hand to defend himself, and a teeth-grinding scraping sound immediately came from his gauntlet. Before he could respond, Qianyi raised her other claw and viciously dug towards his heart.

"Snapped!"

Han was startled by this ruthless attack and immediately turned and retreated, trying to distance himself from the beast-like piranha rider. However, the rider showed no intention of letting go and continued to claw wildly at him.

"Bah—!"

"fondle--!"

"hiss--!"

In no time, Han's pristine white armor was covered with claw marks of all sizes, some even penetrating the inner armor, and crimson blood flowed everywhere.

"Damn it, are you even human?"

Seeing the silver-blue knight, who was also covered in burns, Han couldn't help but question him. This was the first time he had encountered such a formidable opponent, someone who was actually fighting him by trading blows.

"Roar!"

Unfortunately, Chihiro could no longer hear his voice, because the moment he transformed, his body was taken over by his other mother.

For Wu, anyone who intends to harm her son, no matter who they are, she will devour them alive to eliminate any future trouble.

"Snapped!"

Seeing the silver-blue knight displaying incredible power in the arena, forcing the Five-Tails Knight Han to flee in terror, Uchiha Gin sat bolt upright in shock. He pushed the sunglasses that were blocking the dead fish's eyes up to his forehead, his wide eyes filled with astonishment.

"My own mother played for me."

"You scared the hell out of me! What's with all this shouting from you curly-haired devil?"

Startled by his sudden action, Senju Hisa almost dropped the Nine-Tails Card she had just requisitioned, her pretty face full of displeasure.

"Grandpa Yin, what does 'mom playing for you' mean?"

Kushina leaned closer, her large, watery eyes filled with curiosity.

Just now, the retreating Root forces finally found the duo watching the show. After explaining their purpose, Senju Hisa, without any hesitation, used her authority as a high-ranking member of the village to temporarily requisition the transformation tools of Minato's group of four under the pretext of rescuing Root's leader, Danzo.

Hidden Easter Egg: Collect four different colored chibi-style Kurama (Nine-Tailed Foxes) to receive two Yin-Yang Nine-Tailed Fox cards!

"Xiao Jiu, this is the love of parents that transcends life and death and race. You will have many opportunities to experience it in the future."

Uchiha Gin ruffled Kushina's tomato-shaped head and explained with a smile,

"Huh? Isn't it too early to talk about parents and such?"

Upon hearing this, Kushina's round face instantly turned the same color as her hair, and she immediately raised her small, blue-glowing fist and punched Uchiha Gin in the chest.

"Grandpa Silver is naughty~"

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Hearing the resounding hammer blows, Senju Hisa, who had been about to say more to Uchiha Gin, shut her mouth with a look of pity. Kizaru and Hyuga Kagami subtly took a few steps back and hid behind Minato.

"Kushina, stop right now! You're going to kill Gintoki!"

Compared to his two teammates who were trying to avoid him like the plague, the filial Minato immediately stepped forward to stop his girlfriend's violence. He knew better than anyone the power of that punch; he knew that if he took one, he would be bedridden for three days to recover.

"He didn't die. I've been used to staying at home for a long time."

Uchiha Gin calmly waved his hand, subtly glancing at Senju Hisami beside him who was putting on an act, conveying a very clear message.

Your sister's punches are even more powerful than that!

Senju Hishima scratched her head sheepishly, her tone inexplicably soft as she said, sensing Uchiha Gin's teasing gaze.

"The bride price can be reduced further."

"Sure, sure!"

Turning her gaze from the smiling Uchiha Gin to the battlefield, Senju Hisama, observing the one-sided battle and deducing that Iwagakure's fate was sealed, listlessly fiddled with the Nine-Tails Card she had recently recovered.

"Looks like I won't have a chance to make a move, will I?"

Kakuzu is currently holding off Onoki, Komurasaki is burying his head in the swamp, and Han is being pushed back by the newly emerged knight. If this drags on, the scales of victory will eventually tip over Iwagakure's strongest trio.

"Who said you're going to abandon your dignity before the battle is even over?"

Uchiha Gin looked at the disappointed Senju Hishima with a pained expression, trying to awaken the ambition that had long since been corrupted in the other woman.

"I don't like adding flowers to brocade."

Senju Hishima pursed her lips, plopped down next to Uchiha Gin, crossed her long legs, and shook her head with uninterest.

"Oh, so you like offering help when someone's in need? How about I get a few people to put on an act for you?"

Smelling the strange, formaldehyde-like scent emanating from the other person, Uchiha Gin shifted his position in disgust, rolling his eyes so much that Hyuga Kagami exclaimed, "This is the true lineage of the main family!"

"Heh, what kind of people can you find?"

"Hmph~ Believe it or not, I can just give the word and call two jailers to beat you into a mushy ball?"

Seeing Senju Hisama's disdainful expression, Uchiha Gin snorted coldly.

"Grandpa Yin, it's wrong to brag!"

Before Senju Hisama could even speak, Kushina, standing behind Uchiha Gin, couldn't help but voice her opinion.

"You guys think I'm bragging too? I'm known as the 'Connections of the Ninja World'!"

Looking around, Uchiha Gin noticed that all his acquaintances were nodding in agreement, and in a fit of anger, he snapped.

"Okay, I am."

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Just as Uchiha Gin was about to back down and explain that he was merely trying to lighten the mood, two thunderbolts ripped through the night sky, instantly illuminating the entire battlefield.

"clatter--"

As the two burly figures landed, Onoki and Kakuzu, who were locked in fierce combat, stopped fighting simultaneously and retreated dozens of meters to a safe distance.

"So, you've come here to be my enemies too?"

Seeing the familiar figure arriving on lightning, Onoki slowly floated up, his gaze level with the newcomer.

"Boom!"

At that moment, another flash of lightning revealed the true identities of the suddenly appearing duo.

With two horns pointing to the sky on its head, flowing silver and gold hair, and muscles all over its body resembling a philosopher king, the letters AB are branded in bold black on its two metal prosthetic limbs, one on each side.

"It's actually the long-retired Silver and Gold Brothers from the Hidden Cloud Village!"

Upon recognizing the two, the Root members gasped in surprise. After a brief silence, everyone simultaneously turned their gaze to Uchiha Gin, who had just uttered those arrogant words.

Senju Hisana stared intently at Uchiha Gin with her beautiful, scarlet eyes, and questioned him in a serious tone.

"Curly, you were just hiding your hand in your crotch and fiddling around, were you secretly calling for backup?"

"I was just scratching an itch!"

"Silver, no, Uchiha Silver, stop making excuses and tell me honestly, when exactly did you become a spy for the enemy country?"

With a look of heartache in her eyes, Kushina took several steps back to distance herself from him, and decisively began to cut him.

"You big-headed tomato-shaped guy, aren't you the outsider?"

Enraged, Uchiha Gin stepped forward and grabbed her little ear, threatening her with a sly grin.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll have your uncle send you home!"

"A tonic, Grandpa Gin!"

After reprimanding the filial Kushina, Uchiha Gin turned to Senju Hisana, whose expression wasn't good, and raised an eyebrow.

"What, are those dead memories attacking you again?"

"It's still unclear whether Kumogakure is friend or foe. What if they're also here to kick Iwagakure when they're down?"

Senju Hisa retorted defiantly, but her knuckles, gripping the Nine-Tailed Fox Card, were so tense they turned white. She had "died" once under the siege of the Silver and Gold Brothers. Although it was just a physical clone, the despair she experienced was incredibly real, and it had become a nightmare for her.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Silver Horn suddenly sprang to life, appearing in front of Kakuzu in a flash, his booming hydraulic fist slamming into the latter's face.

"Oh!"

"Hey~ White Hair, you guessed wrong. He's here to help in a time of need, just like you." (End of Chapter)
