Title: The Grandmother's Wrath – Part 3
Chapter 9: The Grandmother's Gambit – Spreading the Fury
The tiny woman of Iron Country was not done.
Not even close.
If the three holy lands were hypocrites, then what of the others? The lesser-known summon clans—those who lurked in forgotten corners of the world, pretending neutrality while their power was used in secret?
"Let them all burn," she muttered, dipping her brush in ink once more.
This time, her letters went further.
To the Monkey King Enma of the Saru Clan.
To the Kamatari of the Weasel Summons.
To the Giant Clam of the Sea.
To the Armadillo Summons of the Earth.
To the Hawks of the Sky.
And more.
Each letter carried the same venom as before:
"What bullshit this war is. You all hide in your realms, pretending to be above human conflict, yet your power is used by shinobi to slaughter thousands. The toads, snakes, and slugs are the worst—but you? You're no better. At least they're honest about their favoritism."
"Here are your locations. If the four great villages have any spine left, they'll come for you next. Consider this your warning."
She didn't sign them.
She didn't need to.
Chapter 10: The Summon Beasts' Reactions – A World in Chaos
The response was immediate.
· Enma, the Monkey King, snarled as he read the letter, his staff slamming into the ground. "Who dares threaten the Saru Clan?!" He vanished in a puff of smoke, appearing before Hiruzen in a rage. "Hokage, explain this!"
· Kamatari, the Sickle-Weasel, let out a high-pitched shriek of fury. "We stay out of wars! This is slander!"
· The Giant Clam of the Hidden Mist, dormant for decades, snapped its shell shut in alarm. "The humans know where we are?!"
· The Armadillo Summons, deep beneath Earth Country, rumbled in anger. "If Iwagakure comes for us, we bury them alive."
But the most dangerous reaction came from the Hawks.
They were messengers, spies, warriors of the sky—neutral in name, but not in practice. Their leader, Hayabusa the Stormwing, let out a piercing cry.
"If the villages seek war with us… then let them see what true aerial dominance looks like."
Chapter 11: The Villages Double Down – A New Front Opens
The four great villages, already emboldened by the attack on Mount Myōboku, saw an opportunity.
· Iwagakure sent Earth-style specialists to hunt the Armadillo Summons.
· Kirigakure mobilized to capture the Giant Clam.
· Kumogakure, masters of lightning, set their sights on the Hawks.
· Sunagakure, desperate for any advantage, sought out the elusive Scorpion Summons.
Even Konoha, now reeling from the sudden hostility of the summon clans, found itself scrambling.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was grim. "If the summon clans turn against us… we lose more than allies. We lose our greatest weapons."
Chapter 12: The Grandmother Watches – And Laughs
Back in her quiet Iron Country home, the tiny woman sat by the fire, listening to the distant echoes of battle carried on the wind.
She took a slow sip of tea.
"Good."
For the first time in decades, the playing field was level.
No more holy lands tipping the scales.
No more summons escaping consequences.
Just war—raw, unfiltered, and fair.
Epilogue: The Age of Summons Ends
The Third Shinobi War had been the last of its kind.
Because after this?
After the villages turned on the summons, after the beasts retaliated, after the very balance of power crumbled—
Nothing would ever be the same again.
And it all started with one furious grandmother and a handful of letters.
