Naruto: I'm Nine-Tails and My Host is Kushina-Chapter 79 : I’m your Daddy

The Third Great Ninja War had finally reached its climax.

Rock Shinobi vs. Cloud Shinobi.

This time, the Rock Shinobi army, led by Kitsuchi, had gathered a force of 30,000 shinobi.

On the other side, the Cloud Shinobi troops, under the command of the Third Raikage, numbered only around 2,000.

The remainder of Cloud's forces were still stationed in the Land of Lightning, leaving their frontline vulnerable due to their overconfidence and miscalculated strategy.

At the same time, they faced not just one but two major ninja villages—Konohagakure of the Land of Fire and Iwagakure of the Land of Earth. The division of troops had left Cloud Shinobi stretched thin, and their defeat in the Black Cloud Forest at the hands of Konoha had left them severely weakened and disorganized.

This time, the Rock Shinobi seized the opportunity.

Kitsuchi had mobilized almost all of Iwagakure's forces to the battlefield.

A staggering 30,000 troops—an overwhelming force.

The sheer number alone created an imposing aura, like an unyielding tide crashing against the enemy, determined not to retreat until victory was secured.

Soon, the Rock Shinobi encircled the Cloud Shinobi, including the Third Raikage himself, forming an inescapable trap.

A country cannot be without its leader, a village cannot be without its Kage.

If Iwagakure managed to capture or even kill the Third Raikage on the battlefield, it would spell disaster for the Land of Lightning.

Without their leader, Cloud Shinobi would crumble.

And with that, Iwagakure could march straight into the Land of Lightning, breaking through its defenses. If they succeeded, the entire Cloud Village would be thrown into chaos, and the tailed beasts—Matatabi and Gyūki—would fall into the hands of Iwagakure.

Kitsuchi, the son of the Third Tsuchikage, was at the helm of this invasion.

Observing the sheer might of his forces, he exhaled deeply, his eyes gleaming with ambition.

"Akuto, Kuroya, Oishi... once Cloud Shinobi is crushed, we will launch an all-out counteroffensive against Konoha."

A cruel smirk crossed his face.

Cloud Shinobi will fall. And Konoha? They will meet the same fate.

Cloud Valley.

This was the last stronghold of the Cloud Shinobi.

The Third Raikage, his son A, Killer Bee, and several high-ranking shinobi such as C and Dodai had gathered here.

The Valley of Clouds had a deep, sunken terrain surrounded by towering mountains, making it an ideal defensive position.

But now, all the Cloud Shinobi stationed outside had been wiped out by the Rock Shinobi.

What was once their stronghold had become a valley of death.

Three layers of Iwagakure's troops encircled them, sealing off every exit.

Escape was nearly impossible.

At this moment, the Third Raikage stood before his people.

His sharp gaze swept over the gathered shinobi—his son A, Killer Bee, C, Dodai, and countless warriors who had fought and bled for their village.

"Everyone, this is the darkest hour in the history of Cloud Village."

His voice was steady, yet heavy with the weight of responsibility.

"As the Raikage, it is my duty to lead in times of crisis."

Despite their dire situation, there was no hesitation in his words.

Unlike his son, A—who was brash, impatient, and prone to anger—the Third Raikage was a man of resilience, wisdom, and unshakable will.

Even in the face of death, he remained composed.

And now, he had made his decision.

The Third Raikage laid out his plan to his people.

He would stay behind and fight alone, creating a path for his shinobi to escape.

A deafening silence followed his words.

Then came the immediate protests.

"Lord Raikage, if someone must stay behind, let it be us! We will fight to clear a path for you!"

"You are the leader of our village! Cloud needs you to survive!"

Even C and Dodai, known for their strategic minds, stepped forward in protest.

"Lord Raikage, let us handle this! You and Lord A should escape!"

Killer Bee, usually carefree and joking, was dead serious.

"Boss, let us fight! You gotta get outta here!"

A, who had already lost an arm, stood up immediately.

"This should be my job. I can fight Rock Shinobi all day long. Let me do it."

But this time, A didn't call him "Lord Raikage."

He called him Father.

"Father, leave this to me!"

The Third Raikage closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

When he opened them again, his body was already crackling with lightning.

"You are Cloud's future. And this... is my responsibility as Raikage."

Before anyone could argue further, his voice turned sharp.

"If anyone objects again, I will cut them down myself. And then, I will take my own life."

A thunderous silence filled the valley.

Lightning surged around him as he activated his strongest technique—the Hell Stab: Four-Finger Spear.

The strongest shield. The strongest spear.

Everyone in Cloud knew that none of them could stand against him.

And they knew he was serious.

If they refused to leave, he would make them.

Tears welled up in their eyes.

But they had no choice.

They had to live.

A clenched his fists, his whole body shaking with emotion.

The Third Raikage grabbed him by the shoulder and spoke four words.

"I am your father."

Four simple words, yet they carried the weight of everything.

A hardened warrior like A, who rarely showed vulnerability, broke down into tears.

And then, the final order was given.

"If I die in battle, then A will be the next Raikage of Cloud Village."

With one final roar, his lightning-clad figure vanished into the battlefield.

The Cloud Shinobi fled, their hearts heavy with sorrow and determination.

But they would not let his sacrifice be in vain.

Outside the Valley of Clouds.

A chilling silence filled the air.

Then, a deafening roar of thunder shook the battlefield.

"Lord Kitsuchi! Bad news! The Third Raikage has broken through!"

"That reckless beast?! Attack with everything we have! Kill him!"

"Charge—!"

Thousands of Rock Shinobi surged forward.

Kunai, shuriken, and explosive tags rained down on the Third Raikage.

But none of it mattered.

Nothing could pierce his indestructible body.

Not even Earth Style, the pride of Rock Shinobi, could counter him.

Against an army of thousands, he charged forward alone.

His lightning-cloaked body tore through the enemy lines like a storm of death.

Blood painted the battlefield red.

The Rock Shinobi ranks crumbled before him.

With every strike, his mighty spear carved a path of destruction.

And finally—he broke through the encirclement.

His voice thundered across the battlefield.

"A! Killer Bee! Cloud Shinobi! Follow this path and escape! I will guard the rear!"

And in the distance, a figure lurked in the shadows, watching the spectacle unfold with fascination.

Kurama, the Nine-Tails, observed the battle with a sinister glint in his eyes.

"A man against an army... How amusing."
