In the Year 64 of Konoha, in the Land of Iron where snow fell heavily.
To address the threat from Akatsuki, the Five Kages from the Five Great Ninja Villages had all arrived in this neutral warrior nation—Samurai Nation—to attend the second ever Five Kage Summit at the Three Wolf Mountains.
Fourth Raikage A, Tsuchikage Onoki, Kazekage Gaara, Mizukage Mei Terumi, and temporarily appointed Hokage Danzo Shimura—who stepped up after Tsunade was abducted.
However, aside from these official summit participants, unexpected visitors were also rushing toward the Three Wolf Mountains, and not just one group.
On the endless snowy plain, two figures walked side by side toward the Three Wolf Mountains.
Heiyan observed Samui walking ahead.
She had a slender figure and wore a tight gray short skirt, exposing her fair thighs and long legs. Her legs brushed together with each step—it was quite the sight.
"Hey... Aren't you cold?"
Heiyan suddenly asked.
Samui stopped walking. Without turning around, she paused for a moment before replying: "No, I'm used to it."
Yet her body betrayed her words—it slightly shivered as she spoke.
Ninjas, through the powerful energy inside their bodies known as chakra, could resist extreme coldness to some degree. Let's not even talk about Immortal sages like Heiyan; even Tsunade could freely walk bare-skinned through freezing blizzards.
But clearly, Samui wasn't anywhere near that level yet—she was just putting on a brave face.
"Wear this."
Without hesitation, Heiyan took out a gray robe from [Kamui's space] and handed it to her.
"...Thank you."
Samui turned around. After hesitating briefly, she eventually accepted it.
"I'll wait for you ahead."
After saying this, Heiyan passed by her and walked a little distance forward.
Samui looked at Heiyan with complex emotions before holding the robe tightly in her arms and stepping into nearby woods.
The moment she entered the woods, a thought of escaping crossed her mind—but immediately abandoned it in the next second because she knew there was no way she could escape from that man's grasp.
Thinking about it, she shook her head, sighed, then lowered her gaze to inspect the robe in her hands.
That's odd.
Curious, Samui discovered that this garment possessed an extremely soft and smooth surface texture, almost like top-grade silk. Meanwhile, the inner lining felt like a warm velvet layer, making it feel incredibly cozy to touch.
How strange.
After some rustling sounds, Samui changed out of her original clothes and wore this new robe.
What surprised her even more was how this robe seemed almost alive—as soon as she put it on, it automatically adjusted itself to tightly fit her figure, just like an extremely well-tailored cheongsam, perfectly outlining her attractive curves.
Across her chest, six black tomoe symbols lined up neatly in a row—but since her bosom was simply too large, lifting the fabric high, the tomoe symbols were somewhat deformed.
Samui turned around twice on the spot, moving her body around slightly. She felt overwhelmingly warm and comfortable, instantly falling in love with this piece of clothing.
She, of course, had no way of knowing that this robe was forged by Heiyan using the Yin-Yang Release. Not only was it comfortable to wear, but it also provided protection against cold, heat, water, and impact—surpassing all armor in the shinobi world. It was truly the clothing of an immortal sage.
One minute later.
Samui walked out from the small woods and stood before Heiyan.
"This outfit looks great on you."
His eyes sparkled as he gave her a genuine compliment.
Under his gaze, Samui found herself blushing involuntarily, then quickly turned away and walked on silently.
An hour later.
The two finally reached the vicinity of Three Wolf Mountains. In the distance, the majestic Three Wolf Mountains stood solemnly amidst wind and snow. At the foot of the mountain were numerous warriors dressed in armor and carrying katanas, patrolling back and forth.
The place was heavily guarded.
Samui stopped quietly and stole a glance at Heiyan.
She was curious—was this man planning to boldly march straight through the front gate or sneak into the venue unnoticed?
Heiyan rubbed his chin slightly, then said after brief consideration, "Let's wait here for a while."
Of course.
Even he didn't have the nerve to brazenly storm into Three Wolf Mountains. Right now, all the Kages of the Five Great Ninja Villages were inside; one could say the strongest fighting forces in the entire shinobi world had gathered here.
That's how Samui saw it.
Although recently Heiyan had abducted Tsunade, The Fifth Hokage, from Konoha, shocking the entire ninja world, from Samui's perspective, perhaps this man wasn't quite as powerful as others claimed.
Because since becoming a captured prisoner, she once hid outside the bedroom door while Heiyan and Tsunade rested inside.
Though what Samui heard were many sounds that made her face turn red, she also learned from their conversation that Tsunade hadn't actually lost consciousness because of battle injuries from Heiyan that day—but rather due to something more... personal between a man and a woman.
Tsunade had simply become too exhausted, fell asleep, and gave Heiyan the chance to take her away from Konoha.
Furthermore, after Heiyan knocked her out, she never actually saw him fight against the many Jonin of Konoha—or even Naruto Uzumaki. But she knew that Heiyan mastered a Space-Time Ninjutsu called Kamui, which allowed him to travel freely through space, something nobody could stop.
So in Samui's mind, Heiyan's ability to pull off such a shocking abduction came down to one thing—his... personal talents, plus the Kamui technique. As for real combat? Maybe he wasn't all that strong after all.
Just as Samui was getting lost in her own thoughts—
[Boom!]
A sudden deafening noise came from Three Wolf Mountains nearby, as if something had collapsed. Immediately followed by shouting warriors, chaos erupted.
It seemed like Sasuke had already made his move inside.
Seeing this scene, Heiyan's eyes gleamed. He then instructed Samui, "Let's go."
However, instead of sneaking into the venue amid the confusion, Heiyan led Samui all the way around to the rear of Three Wolf Mountains.
Then he stood there with closed eyes, seemingly waiting for someone to come out from the back entrance of the venue.
Not daring to question him, Samui could only assume Heiyan didn't dare risk entering the venue and preferred to observe from the outside instead.
Inside the Three Wolf Mountains, within the venue...
As Heiyan had anticipated, Sasuke Uchiha, known as the "Arrogant King," had come to stir up trouble.
While the Five Kages were busy blaming and cursing each other inside the conference hall, he first warmed up with a casual round of stomping weak opponents outside, defeating numerous samurai from the Land of Iron. Then he clashed fiercely with Raikage A, who had rushed over after sensing the disturbance.
Later, Sasuke used Susanoo to sever surrounding pillars, causing the meeting hall to collapse and burying everyone indiscriminately beneath the rubble.
He then stormed into the inner hall, slashed down the banners of the nations, struck a dramatic pose hanging upside-down from the ceiling, and engaged those still inside.
During this battle, Danzo—Sasuke's true target—seized the chaos to escape through the back door with two subordinates, showing absolutely no dignity befitting a Hokage.
Sasuke tried to pursue but was intercepted by Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage.
Mei, who never married, couldn't help being intrigued when she saw Sasuke. Overcome with excitement, she blew him a playful kiss, saying it would be such a shame to kill someone so handsome.
After battling briefly, Sasuke unwillingly broke free from Mei's engagement. Just as he finally managed to break away, Onoki—who had been watching silently from the sidelines—took action.
The moment he attacked, Onoki unleashed the terrifying Dust Release—Kekkei Tota, which instantly killed Sasuke, vaporizing him completely.
Had Obito not appeared just in time using Kamui to rescue Sasuke, the boy would have been wiped out entirely by Onoki's Dust Release.
Then, before the Four Kages and Samsui, the general of the Land of Iron, Obito launched into his verbal assault technique. He explained his Moon Eye Plan to them all and concluded publicly with the final declaration—
The Fourth Great Ninja World War has begun!
At the same time,
Behind the scenes at Three Wolf Mountains, Danzo and his two subordinates had just barely escaped. Not having traveled far, they spotted someone standing near the cliff edge facing away from them, seemingly admiring the scenery.
Was this one of Sasuke Uchiha's allies?
Frowning slightly, Danzo stepped backward, signaling his two subordinates to prepare for combat.
"The mighty Hokage of the Leaf fleeing in terror from a single rogue ninja right in the middle of the Five Kage Summit talks? How utterly disgraceful!"
At that moment, the figure mocked them sarcastically before turning around.
It was indeed Heiyan.
Truthfully speaking, Danzo ran faster than Heiyan had expected.
"It's you…"
Danzo trembled, eyes constricted in shock. Instantly recognizing Heiyan, he recalled seeing him recently invade Konoha—an Akatsuki member responsible for abducting Tsunade.
So definitely part of Sasuke Uchiha's group.
Upon reaching this realization, Danzo didn't hesitate and shouted fiercely, "Attack!"
Before his words even finished echoing, his two bodyguards—Fu Yamanaka and Torune Aburame—rushed forward, attacking Heiyan from left and right simultaneously.
They were loyal followers who had served Danzo for years, and even among the elite experts of Root, they ranked at the very top in combat strength.
Unfortunately for them, today's opponent was unlike anyone they'd ever faced before.
Heiyan flashed suddenly, vanishing from his original spot in an instant.
When he reappeared, he had already passed by both attackers and stood behind them.
At that moment, Fu Yamanaka and Torune Aburame halted simultaneously, standing like two statues, their expressions frozen.
"What's going on? Kill him now!" Danzo urged urgently upon seeing what was happening.
But the next second—
Thud!
Both collapsed to their knees, blood pouring from their noses, eyes, mouths, and ears before dying instantly.
They had been killed in an instant.
Just now, the moment he made contact with them, Heiyan had unleashed the [Byakugan's Oppression ability] at full strength. Under his ocular power, these two elite Jonin were wiped out without even having a chance to fight back.
What?!
Witnessing this scene, Danzo was stunned beyond belief. As soon as he regained his senses, he tore off the bandage covering his Water eye and cast [Kotoamatsukami] on Heiyan.
He attempted to control Heiyan with this technique, making him his subordinate. In doing so, not only could he turn the battle around, but he'd also gain possession of a peerless top-tier ninja.
Unfortunately, it was nothing more than a fantasy.
Unaffected by Danzo's [Kotoamatsukami], Heiyan walked steadily toward him.
In Danzo's vision, at some point behind Heiyan, two enormous eyes had appeared. They shone brightly like celestial bodies, making him feel insignificant and powerless to resist.
The gap between their ocular powers was far too great. Even though Danzo possessed [Kotoamatsukami], under these circumstances, he couldn't alter Heiyan's will.
Therefore, under Heiyan's overwhelming pressure, Danzo horrifyingly discovered his body had stopped obeying his commands. He could only stand still, watching helplessly as Heiyan approached.
Slap.
Heiyan raised one hand and firmly pressed it onto Danzo's right shoulder. Then, he smiled slightly and pulled hard.
"Ahhh!"
Danzo let out a heart-wrenching scream as his right arm was ripped off by Heiyan, blood gushing endlessly.
Thud.
Overcome by intense pain, Danzo briefly broke free from Heiyan's oppressive aura and dropped to his knees.
He clutched his right shoulder, soaked in cold sweat, panting heavily. If it weren't for the powerful vitality and regeneration granted by the Genes of the First within him, he would've fainted long ago.
"One… Two… Three… So many Sharingan. It's such a waste to use them for casting [Izanagi]."
At this time, Heiyan lifted Danzo's severed right arm, counting the Sharingan eyes while removing them one by one, murmuring softly to himself.
Upon hearing this, Danzo was stunned.
This man before him actually knew everything about his ultimate trump card. Dammit, did that snake Orochimaru leak this information?
Orochimaru once helped Danzo implant both the Genes of the First and the Sharingan eyes. Later, after defecting from Konoha, he joined Akatsuki, so Danzo's suspicion was reasonable.
Yet what puzzled him endlessly was that even Orochimaru shouldn't have known anything about [Izanagi]. Yet this man named Heiyan casually mentioned the name of this jutsu so calmly.
Could it be—he has a mind-reading skill?
As Danzo was caught up in panic, Heiyan had already safely stored away those Sharingan eyes and was extending his "claw" once again toward him.
"By the way, I'll also take custody of this eye from Shisui Uchiha."
As Heiyan said this, he deftly plucked out Danzo's right eye, sending the latter into another shriek of pain.
"For Konoha!"
A desperate Danzo could no longer endure it. Roaring loudly, he tore open his chest with his left arm. A surge of ink-like darkness erupted from his chest, spreading toward Heiyan.
[Reverse Four Symbols Sealing]
But Heiyan was ready. With a swift motion, he traced a sealing formula in midair, instantly enveloping Danzo's [Reverse Four Symbols Sealing] and forcing the dark liquid back inside.
Heiyan gave Danzo no chance to utter his last words. Once again, he unleashed the Byakugan's Oppression, instantly killing him on the spot and leaving him as a cold corpse.
In his own timeline, Heiyan had already killed Danzo once before. Later, when Madara resurrected Danzo through the Impure World Reincarnation, Heiyan let the bastard live — because he needed Danzo to sabotage Konoha from the inside.
But here, in this original timeline, Danzo held absolutely no further use. For him, there was only one path — death.
After all, someone as wicked as him deserved death long ago.
Whoosh.
Heiyan used Kamui to send Danzo's, Fu Yamanaka's, and Torune Aburame's corpses into Kamui's space.
Next, he planned to bring these three corpses with him and make contact with Sasuke, as well as Obito posing as Madara.
