Kurama felt it was ti.
It was ti to end the Third Great Ninja War.
The Sand Village was not the main battlefield.
The real battle lay with the Mist Village.
And it was about to end here.
Within the sealed space, a voice called out.
"Lord Kurama, this woman refuses to retreat. What should I do?"
"Simple." Kurama's deep voice rumbled with amusent.
"Then we conquer by force."
Kushina and the others had only one goal: to end this battle quickly.
They didn't fight for Konoha's sake. They didn't owe Konoha anything.
This was just a necessary step. Once the Mist Village fell, it would be ti to turn on Konoha itself.
Soon, the Third Hokage, Danzo, Homura, Koharu, and the rest of Konoha's corrupt council would be removed.
And the Uchiha Clan would return to power.
They would reclaim their rightful place at the center of the village.
Kushina's crimson pupils changed, twisting into the ominous, vertical slits of the Nine-Tails.
Kurama took control once more.
A chilling pressure filled the battlefield.
Karura, the formidable Sand kunoichi, felt an instinctive fear creeping up her spine.
The aura around Kushina had transford, no longer human.
The blood-red haze in her eyes exuded pure malice. Looking directly at her was like staring into the abyss of death.
A shiver coursed through Karura's body, despite the desert heat.
Her heart pounded.
"Why is the Red Hot-Blooded Habanero radiating such a monstrous presence?" she thought, gritting her teeth.
"Little Sand kunoichi, you still refuse to retreat?"
Kushina's voice dripped with amusent. "After this, I doubt your village will dare to continue."
Karura stood her ground, exhaling sharply. "You think you can make the Sand Village bow? You have no idea how stubborn our elders are."
Kushina grinned wickedly.
She bit down on a strand of her own fiery red hair, stepping back several ters.
Then, she raised one hand to the sky.
A massive, swirling sphere of raw chakra condensed in her palm, flickering with black and purple energy.
Karura's eyes widened in horror.
"T-That's—!"
She barely had ti to process what she was seeing before Kushina hurled the Tailed Beast Bomb skyward.
The massive orb of destruction soared over Karura's head, missing her by inches before flying into the distance.
Then, the world shook.
A deafening explosion erupted, splitting the desert horizon apart.
A distant mountain—once a towering landmark—was obliterated in an instant.
Nothing remained but a crater of dust and shattered earth.
Karura's breath hitched in her throat.
This... was the power of a Tailed Beast.
Unmatched.
Terrifying.
Kushina smirked, crossing her arms.
"How many of those do you think the Sand Village can withstand?"
Tailed Beast Bombs—destructive techniques wielded only by fully synchronized Jinchūriki—were capable of leveling entire villages.
The Sand Village... had no way to counter them.
Karura swallowed hard.
Had Kushina... beco a perfect Jinchūriki?
A true master of the Nine-Tails' power?
A wild Tailed Beast could be suppressed.
But a Jinchūriki in full control? They were far deadlier.
The Sand's greatest strength, the One-Tail, paled in comparison to a being that could freely unleash the power of the Nine-Tails.
Sand techniques, magnet-style techniques... all aningless against this level of raw power.
A crushing realization dawned on Karura.
The Sand had already lost.
There was no victory here.
Their only option was retreat.
Karura clenched her fists, suppressing the sha swelling inside her.
She said nothing.
Just gave a slow, defeated nod.
Kurama chuckled in satisfaction.
Kushina sighed, breaking Karura's seal.
"Heh... Little Sand kunoichi."
She leaned in close, whispering with a smirk. "Your people aren't my real enemy."
Karura tensed, her expression wary.
Kushina's eyes glead with dark amusent.
"Once this war is over, we'll be tearing Konoha apart."
Mikoto stepped forward, her Sharingan spinning.
"And when that day cos, every single one of Konoha's corrupt leaders will be dealt with."
Karura's lips parted in shock.
They weren't fighting for Konoha?
They were planning to destroy it?
Before she could say anything, Kushina, Mikoto, and Hikari vanished, disappearing into the desert winds.
Karura was left alone, a stunned silence hanging in the air.
Her mind raced, replaying their words.
Sand Village is not the enemy.
They want to turn Konoha upside down.
A coup.
A brutal, rciless coup against their own village.
Kushina's sheer power... her monstrous confidence...
She wasn't lying.
If that woman beca Hokage... the entire world would change.
Karura shuddered at the thought.
What would happen to the Fire Country if Konoha fell into her hands?
A village ruled by soone like that...
It would be terrifying.
Yet... undeniably exhilarating.
Suddenly, a different mory surfaced in Karura's mind.
Kushina's final parting words.
Sothing about... food?
Her expression darkened.
"Princess ? Not eating well? Not feeling anything?"
Karura blinked.
Then it hit her.
During their encounter, that damn woman had touched her.
Her entire body.
Karura's face turned crimson in an instant.
She looked down at herself.
The desert stretched on before her, flat and endless.
A vast, unforgiving plain.
Her hands clenched at her sides.
Kushina... that damn Red Hot-Blooded Habanero... had just called her flat.
A deadly silence fell over the battlefield.
Then, Karura's entire body trembled with fury.
"Damn her! Who is she calling flat?!"
She spun around, pointing at a nearby Sand shinobi.
"You! Co here!"
The unfortunate soldier stiffened, saluting instantly. "Y-Yes, Lady Karura?"
"Do I look small to you?"
The shinobi blinked. "Small, my lady? Are you referring to—?"
"Anything!"
The shinobi hesitated.
Then, with complete sincerity, he responded, "Yes, Lady Karura. You appear very small. In age and in stature."
A deadly silence followed.
The other Sand shinobi held their breaths.
Karura's eye twitched.
Her right hand snapped upward.
"Sand Coffin!"
"L-Lady Karura, wait! I didn't an it like that!"
The shinobi's screams filled the air as he was encased in a crushing embrace of sand.
Of course, Karura didn't actually kill him.
She rely let him experience the sensation of impending death.
"Do you know what you did wrong?" she asked coldly.
"I-I understand! I was wrong! Please forgive !"
Though, in truth, he had no idea what mistake he had even made.
As the war raged on, Karura stood in silence, her mind no longer on the battlefield.
But on the chaos that was soon to engulf Konoha.
And on the dangerous, fiery-haired woman at the center of it all.
