🌸 Episode 13 – “The Funeral of Kaito: A New Flame Rises” 🔥

☁️ Scene 1: The Funeral of Hokage Kaito

The entire Kageflame Village gathers at the Sacred Fire Monument.

The sky is overcast, gentle embers float in the air as the people mourn.

The Five Elder Council Members wear ceremonial robes.

Kaede, Team 7 (Dan, Suki, Riko), and every shinobi from Genin to Anbu bow in silence.

Kaito’s burnt headband is placed on a stand surrounded by his favorite flower — fire lilies.

🎶 A soft traditional flute plays.

Elder Ruma (speaking):

“Kaito died not as a man… but as the Flame itself. He lit the path for our future. We must now choose one to protect this fire.”

☁️ Scene 2: Kaede is Offered Hokage

After the funeral, in the Hokage Hall, the Elders approach Kaede.

Elder Fushiro:

“Kaede… you were his right hand. The village needs you. Become our new Hokage.”

Kaede clenches her chest, eyes watery. Her voice shakes:

Kaede:

“No… I’m not ready. Not yet.”

She bows deeply and walks away, leaving the elders stunned.

☁️ Scene 3: The Search for a New Hokage

The Elders begin searching for other capable Jonin. They ask around:

One Jonin recommends himself but lacks the strength.

Another refuses, admitting they could never replace Kaito.

Then… Elder Kuzo’s eyes light up.

Elder Kuzo:

“There was one… A forgotten Jonin. A legend, once feared and respected… She left the village years ago.”

☁️ Scene 4: The Return of the Flame Lotus – Jonin Aiko

Name: Aiko Uzuhana

Age: 27

Clan: Uzuhana Clan – specializes in Petal Style Ninjutsu and Sensory Seal Techniques

Known for:

Ending the Cursed Mist Invasion single-handedly five years ago

Mastery of Petal Storm Dragon jutsu

Known as “The Flame Lotus”

She appears at the Hokage Monument, looking up at Kaito’s face with a calm smile.

Elders approach her.

Elder Ruma:

“Aiko Uzuhana… will you protect this village?”

Aiko (smiling softly):

“Always. I accept.”

☁️ Scene 5: The UUB Returns – Samu’s Chaos

Meanwhile, far outside the village, a dimensional portal opens.

Samu – the mysterious UUB member with the Smile Technique – steps out, returned by his group to wreak havoc.

He stands on a cliff, whispering:

“Let them drown… in smiles.”

He claps his hands — “Smile Flood Jutsu!”

A wave of eerie yellow chakra water pours into the village, turning villagers into laughing, paralyzed puppets, slowly taking over their minds.

⚔️ Scene 6: Team 7 & Allies Respond

As chaos erupts:

Kaede, now leading again as Team 7’s jonin-sensei

Dan, Suki, and Riko dash out to respond.

Rei Lee, Shin Nara, Toma Akimichi, Hina Yamanaka, and Mai Hyuga join them.

💥 Full Battle Begins

Dan vs. Smile Minions

Dan uses Wind Style: Cyclone Cutter to blow away corrupted villagers, careful not to harm them.

He focuses on dispersing the mist causing the laughter chakra.

Suki vs. Smile Water Beasts

Suki strikes with Chakra Pulse Fists, disabling smile-possessed beasts made of water.

Her precision control keeps civilians safe.

Riko vs. Samu (Phase 1)

Riko activates Curse Mark Stage 1, countering Samu’s laughter waves with Lightning Style: Wrath Pulse Cloak.

He gets closer but is paralyzed by a laughter seal across his chest.

Rei & Shin Combo

Rei opens Gate 3, leaping high and crashing down with Leaf Typhoon Lotus.

Shin traps the enemies with Shadow Neck Bind, letting Rei deliver blows.

Toma Akimichi

Enlarges his fists and blocks a wave of smile water from reaching the academy.

Hina Yamanaka

Uses Mind Disrupt Jutsu to free smiling villagers one by one.

Mai Hyuga

Activates Byakugan, identifies Samu's chakra root — then disables it with Gentle Fist: Chakra Web Cutter.

☀️ Final Strike: Aiko Arrives

As Samu prepares a final Smile Explosion, a massive swirl of red petals fills the sky.

Aiko Uzuhana appears, standing in the air like she’s floating.

She whispers:

“Petal Style: Crimson Lotus Storm.”

Tens of thousands of burning petals rain down, slicing through the laughter chakra itself, neutralizing the flood.

Samu tries to run, but Aiko appears behind him instantly, touching his back with a seal.

Aiko:

“Return to silence.”

Seal of the Lotus Flame – Lock!

Samu collapses, smiling... then unconscious.
