Split into Nine

Few people knew about the Nine-Tails Plan. Like an undercurrent in the dead of night, this secret flowed silently beneath Konohagakure.

Especially after Chang Wei carried out sweeping reforms within the Anbu, Konohagakure's control reached an unprecedented level of strictness.

Yet although Chang Wei's decision appeared flawless, Namikaze Minato still
