Title: The Grandmother's Wrath – Part 2
Chapter 4: The Second Letter – A Call to Vengeance
The first letter had been an insult. A scathing critique of the war's hypocrisy.
The second letter?
A declaration of war.
Delivered once again through untraceable means, the four Kage and their councils found themselves staring at another slip of parchment, its words dripping with venom.
"This is the locations of the three holy lands—the toads, the snakes, and the slugs. Go throw a few tailed beasts' balls at them as payback. At least that."
"It's so frustrating! Acting like hermits, like they're neutral parties all these years, but in the Third Shinobi War? I don't even want to say more. It's so frustrating I already mentioned why in the first letter, so no need to repeat myself."
"So go. Do something."
Attached were precise coordinates—locations that no ordinary civilian should have known.
Chapter 5: The Kage's Dilemma
The reactions were… explosive.
· Iwagakure – The Tsuchikage's Fury
"This woman… she's either a genius or a lunatic." The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, rubbed his temples. His council was divided—some wanted to ignore it, others saw an opportunity. "If we strike the summoning realms… Konoha loses its advantage."
· Sunagakure – The Kazekage's Resentment
The Third Kazekage clenched his fists. Sand had suffered greatly, their alliance with Konoha crumbling. "If we destroy Mount Myōboku… Jiraiya loses his power." A slow, dangerous smirk spread across his face.
· Kumogakure – The Raikage's Wrath
"This is a trap!" A roared. But his brother, Killer B, scratched his head. "Yo, but what if it's real, brother? Maybe it's time to shake things up, ya fool, ya fool!"
· Kirigakure – The Mizukage's Dark Amusement
The Third Mizukage chuckled, his voice dripping with malice. "Let the others test the waters first. If the summoning lands fall… Konoha bleeds."
Chapter 6: The First Strike – Iwagakure Moves
Ōnoki, ever the pragmatist, decided to act.
A team of elite Iwa ninja, armed with explosive tags and a stolen fragment of the Four-Tails' chakra, infiltrated the coordinates for Mount Myōboku.
They didn't expect success.
They got chaos instead.
The moment they arrived, the sky itself seemed to pulse. A deep, croaking voice boomed:
"Foolish humans… you dare?"
Gamabunta's massive form loomed over them, his sword drawn. But before he could strike—
BOOM.
The Four-Tails' chakra detonated, shaking the very mountain. The toads scattered, summoning back to Konoha in panic.
It wasn't a killing blow.
But it was a message.
Chapter 7: The Aftermath – The Summoning Clans React
· Mount Myōboku – The Great Toad Sage's eyes snapped open. "The balance… has been disturbed."
· Ryūchi Cave – The White Snake Sage hissed in displeasure. "The humans grow bold."
· Shikkotsu Forest – Katsuyu's voice echoed in Tsunade's mind. "We are under attack."
Konoha, unprepared for this sudden aggression, scrambled. Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru were summoned immediately.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's pipe nearly fell from his lips. "Who… who would dare?"
Chapter 8: The Iron Country's Smug Satisfaction
The tiny grandmother sat by her fireplace, sipping tea, listening to the distant rumble of explosions carried by the wind.
She smirked.
"Finally. Some action."
Epilogue: The World Trembles
The Third Shinobi War had ended.
But now?
A new kind of war had begun.
One not between nations—but between man and the beings they once called allies.
And at the center of it all?
