"That Kazama kid is just too terrifying! He took down the Eight-Tails all by himself!"
Darui, who was considered a genius himself, suddenly felt utterly inadequate compared to Kazama.
"Compared to the Eight-Tails, I'd say Kazama's the real monster!"
Even the Fourth Raikage felt a twinge of fear toward Kazama.
But what they didn't know was that Kazama still hadn't gone all out.
If the Fourth Raikage hadn't stepped in to stop things, Kazama was about to unleash Izanagi, Izanami, and Kotoamatsukami on the Eight-Tails.
Ever since he gained those three techniques, he hadn't had a chance to test them.
He really wanted to try them out on the Eight-Tails.
Unfortunately, the Eight-Tails was too weak and went down before he could even get serious.
"Impressive, absolutely incredible!"
The Fourth Raikage rushed over to Kazama, showering him with praise.
"With a genius like you in Konoha, I bet Konoha's going to dominate the Five Great Shinobi Nations in the future!"
"Lord Raikage, you're giving us too much credit. Konoha doesn't have such grand ambitions. We'd rather live in peace with the other great nations."
"Well said! Peaceful coexistence—peace is what matters most!"
Hearing Kazama's response, the Fourth Raikage's worries eased.
After witnessing Kazama's terrifying strength, he'd been genuinely concerned that Kazama might team up with Konoha to dominate the shinobi world.
If that happened, even he might have to bow down.
Kazama's power was so overwhelming that even the Raikage had to admit he was outmatched.
"Lord Raikage, now that the Eight-Tails in Killer B has been resealed, about that reward you mentioned earlier… how exactly are you planning to thank me?"
Though Kazama was a righteous guy, since the Raikage had promised him a reward, he wasn't about to let it slide.
"Oh, right, right! Look at me, getting caught up in talking and forgetting about your reward, little brother Kazama. Darui, take Kazama to our treasure vault right away. Let him pick whatever he wants, no limits!"
"The treasure vault! That's gotta be where Kumogakure keeps all their secret jutsu and ninja tools. Awesome!"
Kazama was secretly thrilled.
"Wait, let me take Kazama instead."
At that moment, Yugito stepped forward.
Ever since Kazama saved her from the Eight-Tails and she witnessed his true strength, the way Yugito looked at Kazama had changed.
Gone was her usual cold demeanor; now, she was much warmer toward him.
On the way to the vault, she kept asking him all sorts of questions, acting like a curious, innocent girl.
"Lord Raikage, I think Yugito might have a thing for Kazama!"
After Yugito and Kazama left, Darui leaned in and whispered to the Fourth Raikage.
"Is that so? Well, that's great news! If Yugito can win Kazama over and get him to join Kumogakure, our village's strength would skyrocket!"
"But what if Kazama ends up stealing Yugito away to Konoha?"
"Uh… that probably won't happen, right?"
Darui's words made the Fourth Raikage worry about losing more than he gained.
"Kazama, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Sis, I'm only thirteen. Where would I get a girlfriend?"
"Don't call me 'sis'! I'm only fifteen, you know."
"Oh, my bad."
"So, Kazama, is there a girl you like?"
"I…"
On the way to the treasure vault, Kazama was nearly overwhelmed by Yugito's barrage of questions.
"What's up with Yugito today? I remember her being this cool, icy queen before. Why's she so chatty now?"
Kazama felt helpless just thinking about it.
Before long, Yugito led him to Kumogakure's treasure vault.
"Alright, time to raid this place for treasures, haha!"
Kazama pushed open the door, but the moment he stepped inside, he nearly fainted.
"That sly old fox, the Fourth Raikage! No wonder he said I could take whatever I wanted. There's nothing here! This is just a damn storage room!"
Looking at the rickety shelves with a few tattered books scattered on them, Kazama realized he'd been completely duped by the Fourth Raikage.
