Tailed Beast Ball

The enormous commotion woke everyone in Konoha Village.

When they stepped out of their homes and saw the massive Nine-Tails in the distance, their faces instantly turned pale.

The powerful aura radiating from the Nine-Tails sent chills down their spines.

"It's a Tailed Beast! Everyone, run!"

No one knew who screamed those words, but the crowd immediately descended into chaos.

A woman clutching a baby stumbled and fell. Elderly people were crushed against the walls by the panicked crowd. Young ninja gripped their kunai with trembling hands, their knuckles turning white from the force.

The villagers huddled in the shadows, their legs so weak they were nearly paralyzed.

Even the ninja were overwhelmed by intense fear.

Faced with the powerful Nine-Tails, they could not even summon the will to resist.

Renye stepped out of his room and looked up at the Nine-Tails in the distance.

Even from so far away, the powerful aura radiating from the Nine-Tails pressed down on him until he could barely breathe.

"Th-This... is the Nine-Tails?" Renye's voice trembled.

Only now did he truly understand the terror of a Tailed Beast.

The Nine-Tails' strength exceeded the limits of his understanding.

No wonder it could become the village's weapon of war in the future.

If this thing appeared on a battlefield, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Perhaps before Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, the Nine-Tails was nothing more than an oversized toy.

But in the eyes of ordinary ninja, the Nine-Tails could kill them with ease.

Even Elite Jonin would only have the option to run away when facing a Tailed Beast.

"Kid, stay inside. Don't run around!"

After saying that, Tobirama Senju vanished from the spot.

Madara Uchiha had come with ill intent. He had to quickly gather manpower to defend against the Nine-Tails' invasion.

Very soon, Tobirama Senju gathered several hundred ninja and had them stand ready at Konoha Village's gates.

By then, Madara Uchiha had already controlled the Nine-Tails to approach.

Tobirama Senju looked anxious. "Why hasn't Elder Brother appeared yet?"

If Hashirama Senju did not come, they would never be able to stop Madara Uchiha.

The ninja looked at the Nine-Tails before them and nervously swallowed.

"Can we really stop it?"

The thought involuntarily surfaced in everyone's mind.

They would die. They would definitely die!

Tobirama Senju gritted his teeth. At this point, he could only stall for as long as possible and wait for Elder Brother to appear...

He looked up at Madara Uchiha atop the Nine-Tails and spoke in a low voice.

"Madara, what are you trying to do?!"

Madara Uchiha looked down at Tobirama Senju from above and said coldly,

"What am I trying to do? Naturally, destroy Konoha."

Madara looked at Tobirama's ugly expression and continued, "In my eyes, Konoha Village no longer has any reason to exist."

Hashirama's ideals were wrong. This peace was false.

Since that was the case, it would be better to tear everything down and start over.

"You are nothing but a deserter. You have no right to judge Konoha!" Tobirama Senju said.

Hearing that, Madara's expression froze before he revealed a mocking smile.

"A deserter?" Madara Uchiha coldly looked at Tobirama. "Konoha was founded by Hashirama and me. He led the village down the wrong path, so I left..."

Before he could finish, Tobirama interrupted him. "That sounds nice, but you're just a stray dog abandoned by your own clan."

The Uchiha Clan Members present widened their eyes in terror and stared at Tobirama Senju in disbelief.

No, you can't say that!

If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!

They could already imagine the furious Lord Madara tearing them to pieces...

The moment Tobirama Senju finished speaking, he realized he had said the wrong thing.

He had originally wanted to stall for time, but seeing Madara Uchiha had infuriated him, and in his anger, he had blurted out those words.

Madara Uchiha's expression darkened and lightened unpredictably. He looked at the clan members below, the Three Tomoe in his eyes spinning rapidly before connecting into the pattern of the Mangekyo.

The Uchiha Clan Members lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at their former clan leader.

The scene of Madara gathering them to leave together remained vivid in their minds.

Tobirama Senju was right. They had abandoned their clan leader...

Tobirama Senju thought Madara Uchiha would fly into a rage and ordered,

"No matter the cost, stop him from entering the village!"

If the Nine-Tails entered the village, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Unexpectedly, Madara Uchiha did not become enraged from humiliation. Instead, he silently stared at the Uchiha Clan Members below.

"You are wrong. They did not abandon me—I abandoned them!" Madara Uchiha said expressionlessly. "These short-sighted fools are unworthy of being my, Madara Uchiha's, clan members!"

Hearing this, the Uchiha Clan Members showed guilty expressions.

The exclusion they had suffered over the past few years had made them understand that Lord Madara's decision back then had been correct.

Unfortunately, there was no turning back once the arrow had left the bow.

They could not go back...

"Madara, this bastard!"

Tobirama Senju looked stunned, as if he had not expected Madara Uchiha to say such a thing.

"Our reminiscing ends here, insects."

As Madara Uchiha spoke, he controlled the Nine-Tails and launched an attack.

"Watch out!" Tobirama Senju shouted a warning.

The Nine-Tails' massive claw came crashing down, and everyone hurriedly dodged.

Several people failed to escape in time and were instantly smashed into bloody mist.

Tobirama Senju formed hand seals and launched a ninjutsu attack.

"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet!"

Seeing this, the other ninja followed suit, forming hand seals and releasing ninjutsu.

In an instant, countless powerful ninjutsu swept toward the Nine-Tails.

The ninjutsu did not harm the Nine-Tails. Instead, they stirred the beast's ferocity.

The Nine-Tails roared as it crushed the ground beneath its feet, sending shattered rocks flying toward the crowd like cannonballs.

A Medical Ninja had just been about to treat an injured companion when a boulder pierced through his chest.

A ninja holding a kunai tried to close in for a surprise attack, only to be blasted away by the Chakra of the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Cloak upon approaching. He crashed heavily to the ground, his fate unknown.

Smoke filled the battlefield. The ninja's attacks were like ants trying to shake a tree, while the Nine-Tails' assault had only just begun.

Despair rose in the ninja's hearts. Could they really stop the Nine-Tails?

"Madara, stop!" Tobirama Senju looked at Madara. "Don't continue down the wrong path!"

Before his words had even faded, the Nine-Tails suddenly let out an earth-shaking roar, the sound waves cracking the ground.

"The wrong path?" Madara's laughter mixed with the Tailed Beast's roar, full of mockery. "This is the only path. Look at the Konoha you are so proud of. Before absolute power, it is so fragile."

He raised a hand, and the Nine-Tails condensed a massive Tailed Beast Ball in the air. Its dim red glow reflected the desperate expressions of everyone present.

"And you, Tobirama Senju, will witness Konoha's end here!"

Tobirama Senju swallowed with difficulty. "Elder Brother, where are you?"

Being late normally was one thing, but Konoha was about to be destroyed.

If he did not show up now, that would be going too far.

In the distance, Renye saw the Tailed Beast Ball in the Nine-Tails' mouth and went completely numb.

"Are you kidding me?!"

If that Tailed Beast Ball came down, all of Konoha Village would be finished.

If he had known it would be this dangerous, he would have gone out on a mission...

Just then, a commanding voice rang out.

"Madara, stop!"

Hearing that voice, Renye immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Uncle Hashirama had finally arrived.
