High Rewards for an SSSSS-Rank Mission, Ten-Tails Jinchuriki!

Eight years ago.

"A Nine Tails Riot has broken out in the village."

"Because a great figure once helped Konoha quell the Nine Tails Riot, we naively underestimated the danger of the Nine-Tails going berserk. We even thought Konoha would never face the risk of the Nine-Tails going berserk again, which ultimately led to heavy casualties among the village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat at his desk, recalling the devastation of the Nine Tails Riot and their misjudgment of the risk of the Nine-Tails going berserk.

Sarutobi Hiruzen could not hide the truth from Kakashi Hatake.

Because he had to explain why he was issuing missing-nin for the arrest of Obito Uchiha, otherwise Kakashi Hatake might be driven to extremes.

"A big shot—"

Kakashi Hatake remembered the name that had once been hidden by Konoha.

That·

He taught his father how to fuse with the powerful Storm Release technique.

That important person who is always on Lady Tsunade.

"Shirou Emiya".

Sarutobi Hiruzen and said the name of Shirou Emiya: "His brilliance cannot be concealed in the Shinobi World. You should have all heard of him when you grew up. He once helped the village quell the Nine Tails Riot."

It was only with his help that the village successfully sealed the Nine-Tails, and Konoha gained its first Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

In fact.

Shirou Emiya been a great help to Konoha.

They truly left Konoha with a very rich legacy.

Besides the countless medical scrolls in the village, and the Curse Mark on Shimura Danzo Sarutobi Hiruzen, Tsunade, the most important thing is the protection of the Nine-Tails.

The first Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Mito Uzumaki, mastered the power of the Nine-Tails because of his existence; the second Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina Uzumaki, under Mito Uzumaki's tutelage, gradually learned how to quell the Nine-Tails' attempts to run rampant. She used the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the Nine-Tails to empathize with the past of that great figure, awakening the emotions deep within the Nine-Tails' heart, thereby suppressing the Nine-Tails' violent Chakra.

This method is quite effective.

Even though Nine-Tails loathed Miyō's exploitation of it, during the long time that the Jinchuriki and Nine-Tails spent together, it was impossible for Nine-Tails to always be drawn to the warm past that Kushina Uzumaki mentioned. Even if it did not allow Kushina Uzumaki to use its full power, Nine-Tails never went berserk.

"I remember you were once ordered to protect Kushina."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Kakashi Hatake in front of him and said in a deep voice, "You should know that her favorite story is also about Lord Shirou."

"Yes."

Kakashi Hatake lowered his head.

This was an order given by his teacher, Minato Namikaze Kushina Uzumaki as Anbu during a time when his life had once again fallen into darkness.

Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but reminisce about the past. "I was ordered to withdraw my protection when Kushina was about to give birth..."

At that time...

Because the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki are extremely fragile during childbirth, they are taken over by someone of a higher level, also to prevent any accidents from happening to Kushina Uzumaki.

"At that time—"

"Nothing should have gone wrong."

Even Kushina believed that her childbirth wouldn't cause any problems with the Nine-Tails' seal—

The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, recalled Kushina Uzumaki's confident vows, which made the old man somewhat negligent, because the Nine-Tails had indeed not caused any trouble while sealed away.

"But-"

"That night, a mysterious one-eyed man wearing a mask appeared and killed the ninjas who were protecting Kushina's childbirth—"

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of his wife, who had been by his side through many years, and his expression darkened. "I also killed Biwako, who helped deliver Kushina's baby—."

Sarutobi Hiruzen always remembered his wife. Perhaps he was the only one who remembered the night his wife died, because only family members would remember their deceased loved ones.

"!!!"

Kakashi Hatake's expression suddenly changed.

"The masked man possessed a space-time Dōjutsu. After killing everyone, he released the Nine-Tails from Kushina Uzumaki's body and used the power of his Mangekyo Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails, causing a riot in the village."

"Is it Obito?"

Kakashi Hatake touched his eye socket.

While there might be other men wearing masks, only Obito Uchiha, who shares the same Sharingan, possesses the space-time Dōjutsu.

"At that time, he called himself Madara Uchiha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer concealed these secrets and calmly continued, "However, Minato saw through his weakness. Even though Madara Uchiha only had one healthy eye left, it was still enough for him to unleash the overwhelming power of Susanoo. Until Minato repelled that man, the opponent did not use the power of Susanoo."

"Now it seems—"

"The Mysterious Masked Man took advantage of Kushina's weakness during childbirth to create the Nine Tails Riot in the village should be Obito Uchiha."

Nine Tails Riot

It left behind a trail of bloodshed in Konoha.

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

Kushina Uzumaki, the wife of the Fourth Hokage.

The Third Hokage's wife Sarutobi Biwako.

Kurenai Yuhi's father Yuhi Shinko.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's companion Akimichi Torifu.

The countless elite ninjas and civilians who died in the village—if we simply describe Obito Uchiha's crimes as heinous, it might seem too lenient to many Konoha ninjas.

The Nine Tails Riot was so devastating that even the kind and generous old man Sarutobi Hiruzen could not forgive Obito Uchiha's mistakes. Especially as the Hokage of the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen could more directly feel the weakness and hardship Konoha faced after the Nine Tails Riot.

This situation was even more difficult than the period after the death of the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju Sarutobi Hiruzen was even worried about Miyō's future, forcing him to spend more time and energy guiding the village's best ninjas.

After the Nine Tails Riot, Sarutobi Hiruzen also doubted the identity of the Mysterious Masked Man and had to acknowledge the uncontrollability of the Uchiha Clan mentioned by the Second Hokage.

Final-

This led to escalating conflicts Uchiha Clan and the Konoha High Command.

Nobody expected this.

The murderer turned out to be Obito Uchiha body had gone missing.

"I-"

Kakashi Hatake seemed to want to say something, but he only gritted his teeth and said, "Obito wanted revenge on Konoha because I killed Rin—"

"This is not your fault."

Kakashi Hatake Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression turned serious. He stared into Kakashi Hatake's eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Regardless of whether he knows the truth about Rin Nohara's sacrifice, the village that inherited the pain and hatred after the Nine Tails Riot..."

There is absolutely no way we can tolerate him!

Even the villagers, who symbolize Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, cannot tolerate it!

"Alright."

Don't worry about this.

"Perhaps I should assign you a more suitable task."

The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, sighed, stood up, and walked to Kakashi Hatake's shoulder and said, "Now you finally look like you've come back to life. Protecting the living is always more meaningful than pursuing the past."

"I want to continue the mission of reclaiming the Anko."

Kakashi Hatake lowered his eyes, seemingly unwilling to accept Sarutobi Hiruzen's arrangement, because he knew that if he wanted to take back Anko, he would inevitably encounter Obito Uchiha again.

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

"Besides-"

Kakashi Hatake kept his head down, but then brought up another matter. "This time we also encountered Itachi Uchiha. Perhaps there's something hidden behind the annihilation of the Uchiha Clan."

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt even more troubled.

"Itachi Uchiha— "

Sarutobi Hiruzen's old face was wrinkled like old tree bark, and his eyes grew heavy again. "What happened to him?"

"He secretly told me about Obito."

Kakashi Hatake kept his head down, wanting to say a few words in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage, to defend Itachi Uchiha had defected. "It was he who secretly told me that he would find a way to deal with Anko's matter. Perhaps there is something hidden behind the destruction of the Uchiha Clan. I suspect that the culprit behind the destruction of the Uchiha Clan may not be Itachi Uchiha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was at a loss for words.

Is Itachi Uchiha still carrying out his mission as a spy for Konoha?

"Don't tell anyone."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Kakashi Hatake in a stern voice not to reveal anything about Itachi Uchiha: "No one is allowed to know anything about Itachi Uchiha!"

"!!!"

Kakashi Hatake's eyes narrowed.

This essentially confirms that the annihilation of the Uchiha Clan is in doubt; otherwise, the Third Hokage wouldn't have given him such a stern order!

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes.

The old man fell into thought, pondering whether he should tell Kakashi Hatake the truth about the annihilation of the Uchiha Clan.

After all·

This was a mistake by the Konoha High Command.

Same·

This was also part of his strategic plan as the Third Hokage.

However·-·

Things have come to this.

Itachi Uchiha's act of passing on information was tantamount to publicly revealing a part of the secret to Kakashi Hatake.

Sarutobi Hiruzen Uchiha n't understand why the Uchiha clan would choose to risk so easily by passing on information. He could only assume that Itachi Uchiha was willing to trust Kakashi Hatake, and Itachi Uchiha also wanted him to tell Kakashi Hatake the truth.

"Come with me—"

Sarutobi Hiruzen reached for his pipe, slowly put on his Hokage Cloak, and strode away from the Hokage Building. He led Kakashi Hatake to a deserted street, and then to the Uchiha Clan Compound, where the stench of blood still lingered.

"From the era of the Second Hokage— "

"The Uchiha Clan and the village have never gotten along well."

"This conflict continued even after Obito Uchiha fabricated his identity and caused the Nine Tails Riot. The village's higher-ups couldn't ascertain his true identity, only suspecting he might be a member of the Uchiha. The higher-ups became increasingly worried about the threat the Uchiha Clan posed to the village, while the Uchiha Clan became increasingly worried about the village's control over them. This further deepened the conflict, to the point that the Uchiha Clan even considered launching a rebellion through a coup."

Kakashi Hatake clenched his fist.

"But-""

"Some of them do not want conflict to occur."

"For example, Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha, who died long ago."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood on the steps of the Uchiha Clan's Naka Shrine, overlooking the once-prosperous Uchiha Clan Compound: "However, the prejudices in people's hearts are an insurmountable mountain. Without moving the mountain, there can be no mutual trust. Even though they try their best to convey their voices within the Uchiha Clan, they cannot ease the increasingly critical situation. On one hand, they pass on information about the Uchiha Clan to the village's higher-ups through the Anbu, and on the other hand, they pass on information about the village's higher-ups within the Uchiha. He hopes to resolve the conflict, but he is at a loss."

"At that time—"

Kakashi Hatake recalled the first time he saw Itachi Uchiha join the Anbu, that always very reserved boy.

At that time

Does the other party have such a troublesome entanglement in their mind?

"Final-"

"The Uchiha Clan is attempting to launch another coup."

"As the Hokage, I bear an inescapable responsibility in this matter, because I have been unable to find a way to resolve the conflict between the Uchiha Clan and the village."

"In order to stop the Uchiha Clan's coup, he was instigated by Danzo and chose to use the most extreme method to destroy his clan and protect the village from a conflict."

"At that time, Obito Uchiha was also wearing a mask and lurking in the village, trying to cause trouble. Therefore, he was chosen by Itachi as an accomplice to destroy the Uchiha."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen reached this point, he no longer concealed what followed. "I was supposed to make proper arrangements for him, but after he destroyed his own clan, he reported to me that he would choose to defect and join an organization with the Mysterious Masked Man."

"And I think—"

"This defection might be an opportunity to uncover information about the Mysterious Masked Man and his true intentions in launching the Nine Tails Riot, so I chose to grant Itachi Uchiha's request."

As the Hokage of Konoha Sarutobi Hiruzen believed that this was the only way he could think at the time. He needed to find out information about the Mysterious Masked Man in order to prevent him from causing future harm.

However, Itachi Uchiha's progress was unexpected.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen estimated that it might take the Uchiha a long time to uncover the true identity of the Mysterious Masked Man. However, not long after their defection, the Uchiha Obito Uchiha sent news that the Mysterious Masked Man was indeed Obito Uchiha: "Itachi is an excellent ninja."

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned to Kakashi Hatake: "Whether it's retrieving Anko or Obito Uchiha, leave it to him for now, at least for this stage. Risking his life to deliver information for you is already extremely dangerous for him. That's all for today. Don't let anyone know about our conversation."

"Yes-"

Kakashi Hatake remained silent and lowered his head.

The sheer volume of information he received today left Kakashi Hatake reeling. He couldn't comprehend how his once kind friend had become like this, even causing the Nine Tails Riot in Konoha, which ultimately led to the death of their teacher—

"Protecting the living is our most important responsibility."

Sarutobi Hiruzen adjusted his straw hat and stepped down the stairs again. "Kakashi, now it's time to let go of your past and start living a new life. Come with me to see Minato's child."

Now·

Sarutobi Hiruzen planned to take him to see Minato Namikaze's child.

Although Kakashi Hatake and Minato Namikaze's children had no connection and he lived like a walking corpse without paying any attention to them, there was ultimately a bond between them established by Minato Namikaze.

"That child—"

"I really enjoyed Lord Shirou's story—"

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the heavy burden in his heart and thought of that sunny boy, "What a coincidence! When that child grows up, he will surely have a boundless love for everyone, just like Lord Shirou."

After all, that child is the third generation Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha. If this child likes Shirou Emiya from a young age, then he will be able to share the same emotions with the violent Nine-Tails within him, which would be a good thing for the safety of Konoha.

This was an experience that Sarutobi Hiruzen learned from Mito Uzumaki and Kushina Uzumaki, and he believed that it was not a bad thing for him to often tell the child more stories about Shirou Emiya.

Unfortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen was unaware of this.

Shirou Emiya is no longer the Shirou Emiya of the past.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen a worldwide warrant for the Obito Uchiha, Shirou Emiya was already standing inside his Kamui Dimension. He saw that there was nothing hidden in his dimension and breathed a sigh of relief.

This means...

His own Kamui Dimension is not connected to Obito Uchiha's Kamui Dimension.

Therefore, this empty Kamui Dimension is more suitable for temporarily using it to nurture the rewards he obtains from completing the SSSSS-Rank Mission.

[SSSSS-Rank Mission: Tell the world, make the whole world believe that the Mysterious Masked Man is Obito Uchiha]

The mission is complete. The reward is becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, the Sage of Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal (sealing the Ten-Tails), and the Tailed Beast Tailed Beast Release Seal!

The rewards for this mission are way too generous!

It's even comparable to recovering the remains of the Sage of Six Paths. Not only is the intensity of the Chakra great, but the total amount of Chakra reached an astronomical number of tens of cubic katakana when Shirou Emiya retrieved the Ten-Tails from his body!

"Come out, Ten-Tails."

Shirou Emiya raised his finger, and a glimmer of light flashed in his Rinnegan.

The next moment!

A terrifying Chakra suddenly erupted from Shirou Emiya's body!

This Chakra burst forth from his body like twisted chunks of flesh, eventually transforming into a gigantic, monstrous beast within the Kamui Dimension!

If it weren't for Shirou Emiya possessing the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and Kamui enhanced by the Six Paths Chakra, it's hard to say whether this space could have contained him!

Ten-Tails!

The most powerful Tailed Beast in the world!

It is also the incarnation of the God Tree Black Zetsu has been desperately trying to revive!

If Black Zetsu were to see that Black Zetsu Shirou Emiya possessed the second Ten-Tails in the Shinobi World, he would most likely go insane on the spot and might refuse to allow his mother Kaguya to be resurrected. Therefore, he could only hide the Ten-Tails for the time being. Shirou Emiya's fingers were tightly raised as he continuously set up a barrier to seal the summoning within his Kamui Dimension to prevent anyone from accidentally taking away his Ten-Tails summoning.

"Fortunately, I am now an immortal being in Impure World Reincarnation Body."

Shirou Emiya breathed a sigh of relief, a rare moment of goodwill towards Impure World Reincarnation, who had resurrected him using Orochimaru: "Otherwise, if it were just about extracting the Ten-Tails from my body, I'd probably be bedridden for months."

"Then I'll recruit Kabuto, who works for Orochimaru, as my spy in a few days."

Just.·

A commission has been completed.

I have freed up another slot for a client.

[Unfinished Requests (2/3)]

Shirou Emiya planning to find a way to try and trigger such a terrifying reward from some important figures, because he couldn't guarantee that he could completely defeat Kaguya Otsutsuki with just the Ten-Tails.

Although Black Zetsu reveals the difference in Kaguya Otsutsuki's intelligence, Shirou Emiya doesn't intend to completely lower his guard until he truly confronts Kaguya Otsutsuki's threat.

After all-

According to his memories from his previous life, Kaguya Otsutsuki's space-time Dōjutsu was also quite terrifying, unlike his own Kamui, which was like child's Dōjutsu.
