The Impact of the Nine-Tails' Rampage

After learning that Team Din had been instantly killed, Danzo recalled all the Root. Ding was one of the strongest members of Root, and if even he was instantly killed, then the others' efforts to blockade him were meaningless.

Fugaku also gathered all the clansmen together.

Time slowly passed, and the chaotic night finally came to an end, but the thing that Fugaku Uchiha feared most still happened.

He waited all night, only to receive news of the fourth generation's death.

After everything calmed down, Danzo left with the Root. He needed to understand the extent of the Anbu's losses in this First Shinobi War. He needed to assess whether seizing power at this point was still possible.

Yichen didn't stay in Konoha for long. After placing Dao & Ming suspicion between the Uchiha Clan and the Konoha High-ranking officials, he left happily.

Before returning to the village, Yichen went to Minato Namikaze's house and collected a large number of Special Kunai. Unfortunately, there were no Ninjutsu Scroll in Minato Namikaze's house. They should all be with Minato Namikaze or Kushina.

However, when Yichen left the Minato Namikaze family, he ran into an acquaintance.

"Obito Uchiha," Yichen said softly, looking at the masked man before him.

"I am Madara Uchiha," Obito said calmly.

When Obito and Zetsu saw the Seven-Tails appear, they realized that a third party had intervened. White Zetsu immediately contacted his other clones to gather information.

When Yichen disguised himself Anbu, he was not recognized by White Zetsu. However, when Yichen ambushed Root ninja, he was discovered by White Zetsu. White Zetsu then followed Yichen all the way to Minato Namikaze's house.

At this time, Obito, who had just been lectured by Minato Namikaze, also received the news and rushed over.

"Hehe, that old man whose Sharingan I took from him that day should be the real Madara Uchiha, right?" Yichen chuckled.

"Obito Uchiha, I never imagined you would kill your teacher with your own hands. How heartless!"

"Traveling the Ninja World in the name of Madara Uchiha, what is your purpose?"

Obito Uchiha took out a chain and said, "What I do is none of your business, you dead man."

"Heh, after fighting the Yellow Flash, how much of your strength do you have left?" Yichen didn't care about Obito Uchiha's threat.

"Hmph." Obito snorted coldly and immediately charged towards Yichen with his chains in hand.

Yichen immediately focused his attention on the perception of his Mind's Eye, and sure enough, he sensed nothing. At this moment, Obito was in a state of intangibility.

"Porcelain Release, Fine Rock Technique." Yichen formed Hand Seals with his left hand and cast the Porcelain Release. A large number of tiny rocks immediately filled the space where Yichen was located.

Soon, the area within a radius of several dozen meters, including the spot where Obito was standing, was covered by small rocks. Under Yichen's control, the distance between these small rocks was absolutely insufficient for a person to pass through.

This was awkward; Obito couldn't find a suitable spot to dispel his Hollowfication.

If Obito were to rashly deactivate his Hollowfication, numerous small rocks would immediately overlap with his body. The result would be that he would be injured as soon as they appeared.

Although Obito had the First Hokage's Cells, he didn't have a body modified by Earth Grudge Fear like Kakuzu. Dealing with the rocks inside his body wouldn't be easy, not to mention that these rocks were also controlled by Yichen.

Obito's intangible body passed through Yichen, along with the chains he was holding onto behind him.

Obito kept running, covering dozens of meters away, completely out of the range of the Fine Rock Technique, before finally dispelling his Hollowfication.

"How about it, Obito? This Ninjutsu was specially prepared for you. Are you satisfied?" Yichen said with a smile.

After materializing, Obito Hand Seals and shouted, "Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

A huge fireball flew towards Yichen, shattering all the small rocks that Yichen had laid out.

Yichen smiled slightly, activated his Body Flicker Technique, and easily dodged Obito's Great Fireball.

Then, Yichen continued to use Porcelain Release, and this time, even more rocks rushed towards Obito.

Instinctively, Obito first chose to become intangible. After his surroundings were completely filled with small rocks again, Obito knew that he couldn't do anything to Yichen today.

With a turn, Obito was about to leave.

However, he soon discovered that Yichen was constantly manipulating Xi Yan to follow him around.

Obito accelerates, Yichen also accelerates; Obito decelerates, Yichen also decelerates.

Obito's gaze sharpened. Yichen was planning to outlast him, waiting for his Dōjutsu to reach its limit.

With a cold laugh, Obito suddenly lowered his body and disappeared into the ground.

As a result, Yichen's rocks could no longer track Obito. Not only could they not track him, but Yichen couldn't even find where Obito.

"Sigh..." Yichen sighed, and had no choice but to leave.

He concealed the Porcelain Rock to prevent Konoha ninja from identifying him based on it, and then Yichen left Konoha.

Mind's Eye's still a bit too cunning. If he could sense Obito in his intangible state, Yichen wouldn't mind giving Obito another hard blow.

However, there was really no other way today. Yichen hadn't even entered Sage Mode. Not being at his peak, Yichen didn't dare to fight Obito head-on.

Not long after Yichen returned to Iwagakure, the entire Ninja World was thrown into turmoil once again.

The Nine-Tails' Rampage erupted in Konoha. The renowned Yellow Flash died in battle to seal the Nine-Tails, and the adult Nine-Tails Jinchuriki also died because the Nine-Tails was extracted from him.

Konoha has lost a Kage and Jinchuriki once held sway over the Ninja World. Although the Tailed Beast still exist, there are doubts about whether Konoha has found a new Jinchuriki, and whether Jinchuriki can unleash the power of the Nine-Tails.

In addition, the rampage of the two Tailed Beasts, the exact number of casualties among Konoha ninja, and the extent of Konoha's losses overnight were all being investigated with a mixture of excitement and tension.

Soon, Konoha elected their Fifth Hokage: Tsunade Slug Princess. Having overcome her hemophobia Tsunade first stopped the Nine-Tails during its Nine-Tails' Rampage, and later single-handedly suppressed the Seven-Tails. Her strength earned the recognition of all Konoha ninja. Of course, Danzo and the Uchiha were exceptions.

After the war, Tsunade disregarded her own health and injury to perform large-scale Medical Ninjutsu, which earned her even more love and respect from everyone.

As a result, Danzo, who had finally thought he had a chance to rise to Danzo, was completely ignored by everyone.

However, although the various countries were eager to make a move, they held back, because Konoha had gained a Tailed Beast this time: the Seven-Tails.

Konoha certainly wouldn't dare leave the Seven-Tails behind, but what if they started a war before Konoha returned the Seven-Tails, and Konoha ended up throwing the Seven-Tails at their own army?

As a result, countries and villages around the world began to criticize Konoha and demand that Konoha return the Seven-Tails to Takigakure.

But Konoha wasn't stupid; they directly claimed that the Seven-Tails -Seven-Tails had been subjected to Summoning Jutsu, and that its return would only be possible after the Summoning Jutsu Seven-Tails lifted.

In addition, various parties are speculating about who released the Nine-Tails, captured the Seven-Tails -Seven-Tails, and then handed it over to Konoha.

To be honest, Konoha's ability to seal two Tailed Beasts at once was still shocking to everyone, especially considering that the Nine-Tails, Tailed Beast strongest Tailed Beast, was among them.

Although a Kage was sacrificed, everyone couldn't help but marvel at Konoha's strength.

Ultimately, everyone's attention focused on the Uchiha Clan, as the Sharingan mark in the Nine-Tails' eye was seen by intelligence ninjas from all sides.

As a result, the Uchiha Clan, which had been neglected by Konoha, suddenly became highly sought after. Tenten, ninjas from other countries would infiltrate the Uchiha Clan's territory. Various attempts to win them over and sow discord were constantly being staged within the Uchiha Clan.

Even some small ninja villages are inviting the Uchiha Clan, expressing their willingness to relinquish power in their own villages and allow the Uchiha Clan to take the lead in establishing the Sixth Great Ninja Village.

Iwagakure also joined in condemning Konoha and trying to win over the Uchiha, but they didn't investigate the truth of the matter much. This was because Yichen, who was involved in the Nine-Tails' Rampage, clearly stated that it was Obito Uchiha and he who did it.

Iwagakure doesn't have time to deal with Konoha right now; they're just following the lead of the other major powers and shouting "666!" Their main focus is on studying the scrolls that Yichen Iwa ninja from Konoha.

The scrolls Yichen obtained were not all Ninjutsu; they also Ninjutsu experience. These were extremely valuable, Yichen gathered many Elite Jonin to study them together.

As for the most important Flying Thunder God training scroll among this harvest, Yichen copied a copy of the Scroll of Seals written in Iwagakure, and planned to leave the original by Minato Namikaze Yichen to Atsumi Akino.

It took the strongest members of Iwagakure a month to digest the scroll that Yichen obtained from Konoha.

It's worth mentioning that, during the research on the Genjutsu obtained by Yichen, Katsuya finally became Quasi-Jonin. This will be the first Jonin in Iwagakure to specialize in Genjutsu.

Once Katsuya fully matured, he might truly be able to make up for the shortcomings of Iwagakure's Genjutsu.

Besides Genjutsu, he also covered Medical Ninjutsu and Lightning Release Ninjutsu. What excited the Iwa ninja higher-ups the most was that Yichen also obtained a training manual on Shadow Clone.

There are many types of Clone Technique, but the Iwa ninja use the Earth Style Clone most often. It's not that the Iwa ninja don't know how to use the Shadow Clone, but rather that the Konoha's Shadow Clone has many techniques for using it, which the Iwa ninja don't know. Therefore, when using it, the effect is far inferior to the Earth Style Clone.

This time, with the scroll containing the secrets of the Shadow Clone, Yichen, Ōnoki, and the others diligently studied the Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Yichen slammed his hand on the table and said, "Classify Shadow Clone as a B-rank Ninjutsu, but only require a C-rank to exchange for contribution points, encouraging everyone to learn this Ninjutsu. However, like A-rank Ninjutsu, practicing this Ninjutsu requires applying a seal."

Ōnoki nodded and said, "Shadow Clone Jutsu doesn't distinguish Chakra attributes, making it far more practical than other clones. Besides Konoha, several other villages are also coveting this Ninjutsu."

Ikura said, "It's a pity I didn't obtain any Ninjutsu related to Yin-Yang Release."

Yichen nodded and said, "There's nothing I can do. Most of Konoha's Yin-Yang Release are in the hands of those large ninja clans, so I don't have a chance to make a move."

"Actually, I wanted to go to the Hokage Building to find the Scroll of Seals. But the Scroll of Seals definitely has Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Mark on it. It wouldn't be good if Minato Namikaze thought the Scroll of Seals was more important to Konoha and gave up sealing the Nine-Tails, turning his attention to me instead."

Ikura nodded. "That's certainly a possibility. If Iwagakure is attacked and someone is after the Scroll of Seals, Ikura will also hesitate."

"Alright, Yichen, what are your plans for next?" Ōnoki asked Yichen about the next policy towards Konoha.

Yichen thought for a moment and said, "The Wind Release: Breakthrough is still the Uchiha. We should contact the Uchiha and try to reach some agreement with Uchiha, such as secretly transferring a few Uchiha Clan children."

"That Sokai Uchiha, who's only Liangtiancheng Zhongxing, isn't he still studying at the Ninja Academy? Have him write a letter to their clan leader."

Ming said, "This child is still thinking about returning to the Uchiha Clan, so he probably won't write as we ask."

Yichen smiled and said, "Let him write whatever he wants. Only a little kid's honest words can show Fugaku Uchiha our sincerity."

"If we make Sokai Uchiha write according to our requirements, it will only make Fugaku Uchiha resentful. The more realistic, the better. In any case, we are genuinely treating Sokai Uchiha with sincerity."

Ōnoki thought about it and agreed with Yichen's point, so he said, "Okay, I'll have the kid write the letter when I get back."

Sokai Uchiha currently lives in the Ōnoki household; he is Ōnoki's grand-nephew.

Ōnoki has two grandnephews, and another one who is not yet old enough to attend the Ninja Academy; his original name was Yuki Haku.
