A New Mission: Pacify the Nine Tails Rebellion!

Nine-Tails.

The most ferocious tailed beast in the world.

Its fearsome reputation came primarily from its immense strength.

As the tailed beast with the greatest Chakra in the Shinobi World, coupled with its formidable abilities, the Nine-Tails possessed power that was nearly invincible!

Compared with Madara Uchiha, who had just taken advantage of the thick fog to leave Konoha, the Nine-Tails had become Konoha's greatest threat—especially since it had been brought back by Hashirama Senju.

Madara Uchiha had used the Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails and attack Konoha, sparking a life-or-death battle with Hashirama Senju. By wielding the Nine-Tails' power, he had severely wounded Hashirama Senju.

After that battle ended, Hashirama Senju brought the Nine-Tails back to Konoha and temporarily sealed it in Konoha Back Mountain. Mito Uzumaki had remained there to guard it, so there should not have been any accidents.

Yet Mito Uzumaki was here.

Naturally, something had happened to the Nine-Tails. Madara Uchiha, seeking to take the opportunity to leave Konoha, had summoned it and used it to cover his escape from Hashirama Senju's pursuit.

Now...

This vicious beast had broken free of its restraints!

No...

It was still under someone's control!

Three black tomoe gleamed within its blood-red pupils, a sign that Madara Uchiha had taken control of it once again!

"Roar!"

The Nine-Tails threw back its head and roared, venting its fury!

In an instant, the massive tailed beast crushed a cluster of buildings beneath it, its nine orange tails thrashing wildly behind it!

To it!

These past few days had been nothing but humiliation!

Whether it was Madara Uchiha forcibly using the Sharingan to make it sign a Summoning Contract and participate in a great battle, being subdued by Hashirama Senju during that battle, or being imprisoned within Mito Uzumaki's sealing cage in the back mountain!

Every one of those experiences...

Was an utter humiliation to it!

That rage was further magnified by the Sharingan's influence!

After the Nine-Tails howled at the sky, its gaze immediately dropped onto Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki standing before it!

One had subdued it through sheer power...

The other had suppressed it with sealing techniques...

This husband and wife deserved to die! It would tear them apart!

"Madara actually signed a Summoning Contract with the Nine-Tails..."

Hashirama Senju was not especially concerned about the Nine-Tails' threat.

Although the Nine-Tails was an unbeatable, terrifying beast to most shinobi, to him, it was merely a tailed beast that required some effort to subdue. He was confident that he could restrain it.

Even so, Hashirama Senju had no choice but to confront the threat the Nine-Tails posed to Konoha. He could no longer afford to pursue Madara Uchiha and had to deal with the Nine-Tails first.

"Let me handle it."

Mito Uzumaki hurriedly stepped forward.

To Mito Uzumaki...

The Nine-Tails was not an unsolvable problem either.

Although Mito Uzumaki was somewhat weak and exhausted, she believed herself better suited than Hashirama Senju to deal with the Nine-Tails. Her husband's injuries were more important than handling it.

Just then...

An Adamantine Staff fell from the sky!

The Adamantine Staff split into dozens of Shadow Clones, forming a gigantic fenced wall that firmly separated the savage Nine-Tails from Hashirama Senju and his wife!

Sarutobi Sasuke controlled the Adamantine Staff to temporarily stop the Nine-Tails, then leaped in front of Hashirama Senju and his wife.

"Lord Hokage, Lady Mito..."

As a guard ninja, Sarutobi Sasuke felt that he had failed in his duty. He had been just a little too slow, and he had rushed over with the other guards!

"This scene feels kind of strange..."

Shirou Emiya stood behind the couple, feeling that something about this scene was off. There seemed to be far too many strange elements.

The Nine-Tails was being controlled by an Uchiha to wreak havoc.

The heroic Hokage who had come to deal with the Nine-Tails.

The Hokage's wife standing at his side.

That wife was also a member of the Uzumaki Clan and wielded sealing techniques that excelled against tailed beasts, except her body was weakened for some reason and she was not at her peak.

And just so happened...

A ninja named Sarutobi was trying to stop the Nine-Tails from rampaging.

It would have been one thing if Shirou Emiya alone found it strange, but perhaps his Ninja System had also noticed these overly peculiar details. At that moment, it generated a mission.

SSS-Rank Mission: Pacify Konoha's Nine Tails Riot.

No...

This didn't feel right...

No...

The timing was wrong too!

Did the Nine Tails Riot at this point in time really need me to pacify it?

Either Hashirama Senju or Mito Uzumaki alone could make the Nine-Tails behave!

No...

That wasn't the point at all!

Shirou Emiya realized that he seemed to have caught onto something!

This Nine Tails Riot had never appeared in the memories of his previous life!

Because he had treated Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha had been drawn here. He had taken the initiative to expose Madara Uchiha's presence, forcing Madara Uchiha to summon the Nine-Tails and seize the chance to leave Konoha!

This Nine Tails Riot...

Could even be said to have been caused by his own hands!

Shirou Emiya narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming to understand a certain mechanism behind how missions were triggered. It seemed that he had discovered how some missions were activated!

Even though his strength lacked only a perfect resurrection, he still did not have absolute confidence. This era happened to contain some exceptionally miraculous techniques, and perhaps there were ways to further increase his Chakra!

Who would ever complain about having too much power?

Who would dislike becoming even stronger?

Besides...

This mission was not troublesome.

Come to think of it...

He seemed to have dealt with the tailed beasts before...

The only problem was that the Nine-Tails was not very clearheaded in its current state. Perhaps it would not recognize an old friend from the past...

Of course...

Even if it were conscious...

It had probably forgotten long ago.

After all, that had been over a thousand years ago.

Unfinished Ninja Missions (3/3)

"Let me handle it."

Shirou Emiya accepted the mission to Pacify the Nine Tails Rebellion. He stepped forward in front of everyone and said softly, "A patient shouldn't use Chakra recklessly. It would be harmful to your body. Leave this place to me for now..."

"You are...?"

Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki turned back at the same time.

"Huh?"

A flash of delight appeared on Sarutobi Sasuke's face, followed by concern. "You are Konoha's guest. How could we let you put yourself in danger?"

However...

They had no time to speak further...

The Nine-Tails began wantonly venting the Chakra within its body!

When that Chakra erupted completely, it swept through everything like raging gales. The beast's gaze was filled with barely restrained fury and savagery!

"Roar!"

The Nine-Tails swung down its claws!

In an instant...

The row of fences formed by the Adamantine Staff was smashed into smoke!

Though Sarutobi Sasuke's Adamantine Staff was incredibly durable, there was only one true body. The rest were merely clones of the Adamantine Staff...

Shirou Emiya suddenly leaped into the air and kicked away the Nine-Tails' claw. Borrowing the momentum, he soared higher, a faint glow of Chakra appearing around his foot!

The next moment!

An enormous force crashed heavily into the back of the Nine-Tails' neck!

Boom!

The enormous creature was smashed flat onto the ground by that kick!

For Shirou Emiya, the maximum amount of Chakra he could use was not particularly great, but it was barely enough to perform the Super Strength Body Technique!

"!!!"

The Konoha Ninja were all stunned by that strike!

No one had ever seen the strongest ferocious beast in the Shinobi World knocked flat with a single blow!

"Roar!"

Yet the attack only provoked even greater savagery from the Nine-Tails. It roared as it climbed back up and clawed at Shirou Emiya, only for Shirou Emiya to kick it in the chest again and send it flying!

"That's the super strength of our clan..."

Hashirama Senju stared at the super strength his opponent had displayed in surprise.

"Perhaps super strength was not developed by our clan..."

Tobirama Senju's voice sounded beside them. When he heard his elder brother's words, he instinctively spoke up in Shirou Emiya's defense.

Super strength.

It primarily depended on Chakra control.

Through extremely precise Chakra control, Chakra within the body was accurately concentrated in one part of the body before being explosively released.

Generally speaking, only Medical Ninja in the Shinobi World possessed such exceptionally fine Chakra control.

This kind of super strength...

Was actually more like a specialty of Medical Ninja.

And Shirou Emiya, who was using super strength, happened to be the first Medical Ninja in the entire Shinobi World.

Given the connection between Shirou Emiya and the Senju Clan's ancestor, it was entirely possible that this super strength was a technique he had invented and left behind for the Senju Clan.

After all...

Their clan's surname had come from Shirou Emiya.
