Everyone Come Out and See the Nine-Tails

"Sigh... dead again! Uchiha Itachi is too strong, it's a bit game-breaking!" Ming Jing sat on the bus, holding his phone. The screen displayed two large "Defeat" icons.

This was a new Naruto mobile game released by Tencent. Ming Jing would play a few matches when he was bored. But ever since the official release of the Uchiha Itachi character, non-VIP players like Ming Jing were left with no choice. Itachi was simply unbeatable!

Recalling the scene of his recent defeat, Ming Jing couldn't help but exclaim, "Speaking of which, Tsukuyomi truly lives up to its reputation as the strongest genjutsu in my heart!"

"Strongest genjutsu??" an ancient voice chimed in. It was a passenger sitting next to Ming Jing, an old man who looked frail but had a kind face.

"Yeah!" Ming Jing smiled and said, "In the author's setting, Tsukuyomi is activated by Uchiha Itachi's left eye. When Tsukuyomi is activated, as long as their eyes meet, the target will see an unknown alternate world. In this world, all factors, including time, place, geographical location, etc., are controlled by the caster, delivering a devastating blow to the target's mind."

"Oh? It does sound very powerful! But it wouldn't be considered the strongest, would it?" The old man nodded along, gently observing Ming Jing as he asked, "Would you like to have a go against Tsukuyomi?"

"Huh? This... In the original work, only the Mangekyo Sharingan can contend with Tsukuyomi!" Ming Jing was a little confused by the old man's words, thinking perhaps the old man had some mental issues!

"No, no, no," the old man shook his head, smiling, "You don't need the Sharingan. Just use the genjutsu passed down by our ancestors to contend with Tsukuyomi."

"This... I need to get off!" Ming Jing quickly put his phone away, intending to stand up and leave. But he suddenly felt like he couldn't control his own body; he couldn't stand up!

"What did you do to me?! This is a public place, I don't know you, don't mess around!" Ming Jing shouted, his voice trembling. He hoped his words would attract the attention of those around him. But reality slapped him in the face; no one around noticed his abnormality, even though he had just shouted.

"Remember this, this move is called 'Wash Away Stains.' You'll find it useful in the future," the old man said kindly. Then, with a wave of his hand, Ming Jing felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier. The last words he heard were from the old man: "This move is called 'Mother-Child Green Coins.' Don't lose!"

After an unknown amount of time, Ming Jing suddenly sat up. He gasped for air, unable to stop himself from cursing, "Where did that lunatic come from! At your age, just stay home and don't come out, damn it! Wait a minute..." Ming Jing was a bit dazed. This floor looked familiar! He cautiously looked around. It was a very typical Japanese-style bedroom.

"No way..." Ming Jing trembled inwardly. He seemed to know what had happened. He looked down at his hands; their size suggested he was probably just a child!

With a loud "Boom!", Ming Jing felt the entire house shake. He looked up; outside the shoji screen, everything was bathed in firelight.

"If my guess is correct, what's happening outside right now? Vibrations of this magnitude are quite common in Shippuden!" Ming Jing thought, then decided to open the door and see.

As he pushed the door open, he saw in the distance a giant Nine-Tails Fox Demon howling at the sky under a blood-red moon. Further away, on the Hokage Rock, Ming Jing could barely make out four heads. The demon fox's tail casually flicked, sending wood chips and stones flying everywhere. Even from so far away, Ming Jing could feel a scorching heat flowing through the air with the demon fox's movements.

"Is this what the Nine-Tails' attack on Konohagakure looks like?..." Ming Jing stared blankly at the rampaging Nine-Tails Fox Demon. In his previous life, only the five major powers on Earth would have had the capability to subdue such a force!

"Young Master, this place is very dangerous, please come with us to safety!" Just then, two girls in kimonos ran over, stood behind Ming Jing, and bowed as they shouted.

Young Master?? Ming Jing was stunned. He hadn't expected the old man to arrange such a high status for him! He glanced back at the two girls. He had to admit, the quality of girls in the anime world was high. Such cute maids would have been considered campus beauties in his previous life!

However, the clothes he was wearing had no Uchiha fan emblem, so he wasn't from the Uchiha clan. He also didn't have a "white eye disease," so he wasn't from the Hyuga clan either. The remaining clans were the Nara, Yamanaka, Akimichi, and Inuzuka. Although they were all major clans, they should have been busy rescuing people in the village at this time.

Away from the village center, with clan members, not prominent...

Could it be the Aburame clan?!

Ming Jing's face contorted. Although Aburame Shino was very powerful and one of the Konoha 12, and the Aburame clan's secret techniques were also strong, the problem was that Ming Jing hated insects! Seeing insects gave him goosebumps!

"Young Master??" The two maids looked at the dazed Ming Jing and called out softly.

"Ah, it's nothing." Ming Jing snapped back to reality, shook his head, and said, "No need to evacuate. That big guy won't come this way."

"This..." The two maids exchanged glances. If their master wasn't leaving, they, as servants, certainly couldn't. So, the two cute maids could only stand their ground, bracing themselves.

"You're so sure the Nine-Tails Fox Demon won't come here?" a stern voice echoed. Upon hearing the voice, the two maids trembled and lowered their heads even further: "Greetings, Clan Head!"

Clan Head?!

Ming Jing's heart skipped a beat. So, this man who suddenly appeared was likely his father!

Ming Jing pretended to be calm and looked up at the newcomer. "Yo, Uncle, you're quite handsome!" Wait a minute, this guy isn't wearing sunglasses! That means this isn't the Aburame clan!

Realizing he wouldn't have to deal with insects in the future, Ming Jing breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about the man's question, he calmly replied, "So that big guy is called the Nine-Tails Fox Demon! There are two Hokage in the village; with their strength, it should be no problem to stop the Nine-Tails Fox Demon!"

The man walked up to Ming Jing and looked at the raging demon fox in the distance with him, chuckling, "You seem to have a lot of faith in the Hokage."

"After all, they are the leaders of the village!" Ming Jing smiled. He looked at the man and asked, "Is it really okay for us to just watch like this?"

"What else can we do but watch? If our Kurama clan went to deal with something like this, we'd just be a hindrance. Besides, our clan can't afford any more losses." The man shook his head, a hint of melancholy in his voice.

At this moment, Ming Jing's inner thoughts were: Holy crap! Holy crap crap crap crap! It's the Kurama clan! The genjutsu clan that once rivaled the Uchiha clan, with a Kekkei Genkai of manipulating the five senses. Cough, cough, cough... Too bad it's "once"! But in just a few years, the Uchiha clan will fare even worse than the Kurama clan. Wait a minute... it seems the Kurama clan will end up even worse! With only the single seedling, Kurama Yakumo, but isn't the Uchiha clan also left with only the single seedling, Uchiha Sasuke? Oh well... looking at these fellow sufferers.

"Ming Jing, you are the only bloodline of my brother left in this world, and the only direct bloodline of the Kurama clan. The future of the Kurama clan rests on your shoulders." The Kurama uncle patted Ming Jing's frail shoulder and said earnestly.

Uh... So in this world, his name is still Ming Jing! This setting is pretty good. More importantly, this uncle isn't his father! This setting is even better!

Ming Jing praised the old man internally for a while, finally relieved that he didn't have to call a stranger "Father."

As for the future of the Kurama clan... let's talk about such a heavy topic later!
