The severe pain and strong dizziness caused by Shen Yu's injuries surged up like a tide, swallowing up her remaining consciousness. She felt the passing of her life force and quietly waited for the expected final blow from Tailed Beast that would end her life.
Of course, at this moment, his consciousness was only due to his injuries and he fell into a coma, which was far from the level of real death.
After confirming that Itachi Uchiha was completely conscious and had passed out completely, the layer of red Chakra Cloak that enveloped Naruto and exuded terrifying pressure began to slowly dissipate like an ebbing tide.
The boiling energy gradually subsided, converged, and finally completely disappeared back into Naruto's body, revealing the body of the blond boy below.
Naruto took a long breath and sat down on the ground. Although this time Tailed Beast Transformation was voluntarily borrowed by Kurama, there was no crazy erosion of those negative emotions.
But controlling a huge amount of chakra far beyond his own load with such high intensity still put some burden on his body.
Phew... so exhausted. However, according to Kurama's awkward statement just now... are these the powers it is willing to lend me "now"? In other words, without going berserk, the trump card that the identity "Uzumaki Naruto" can control stably is the power of these four tails?
This discovery made his blue eyes light up slightly. This is undoubtedly a huge increase in combat power, and the source is completely "legitimate".
Hmm... I have to find an opportunity later to let Old man Third know the news. Let's see if we can use this to get more cultivation resources from him...
After resting for a while and regaining some strength, Naruto stood up. His eyes fell on Itachi Uchiha, who was unconscious due to excessive injuries.
There was still blood on the girl's pale face, her eyes were tightly closed, and the two obvious tear troughs added to her sense of vulnerability.
Tsk... Putting aside the extremely perverted personality and brain circuitry, just looking at this face... except for the tear trough, it is actually quite good-looking. Of course, she is still far behind her sister.
He shook his head slightly to get rid of these irrelevant thoughts. Naruto knows what he should do next.
That's all I can do. Next, we have to take Satsuki to the hospital quickly.
With his hands Hand Seals, he separated one Shadow Clone and stayed there to guard the unconscious Itachi. Subsequently, this separated Shadow Clone and then Hand Seals.
With a soft sound, Shadow Clone disbanded on its own and turned into a ball of white smoke. And the memory it carried about the precise location of this place and Itachi Uchiha's coma state instantly crossed the distance and was simultaneously transmitted into the mind of Shadow Clone who was [Menma].
Okay, the notification has been sent. Next, how to deal with this filial daughter is Shisui's headache. My mission... comes to an end for now.
Thinking of this, Naruto stopped delaying, turned around and ran back to Konoha's Uchiha Clan Compound quickly.
Running towards Satsuki who is still sleeping. He carefully leaned down and put the girl on his back. After making sure that she was stable, he quickly hurried in the direction of Konoha Hospital.
Inside Konoha Village, at this moment, it was completely plunged into panic and chaos. The Nine-Tails Chakra, which was oppressing like a substance in the distance and full of violence and destruction, was like a nightmare coming, completely igniting the fear buried deep in the hearts of the villagers.
Under the command of the Ninjas, the panicked civilians dragged their families and hurriedly moved to various underground shelters.
The Ninjas responsible for maintaining order had cold sweat on their foreheads. While trying their best to appease the people, they nervously looked outside the village where the terrifying pressure was coming from. They held their Kunais tightly and were ready to deal with the worst-case scenario at any time.
However, at this critical moment when the supreme leader is urgently needed to take command and stabilize people's hearts, Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is the pillar of Konoha, is completely unable to perform his duties.
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he - can't.
He is currently in Hokage Office, but the situation is exactly the opposite. He did not sit on Hokage's chair, but stood silently aside.
He could never imagine that under his nose, Konoha had so many transactions and conspiracies that he didn't know about happening quietly.
Danzō Shimura... His old friend for many years actually made a genocide deal with Itachi Uchiha in private! Itachi Uchiha personally massacred his own family... and this brutal massacre finally attracted the man in front of him - the leader of the [Jin] organization, Menma.
At this moment, this man wearing a strange Fox Mask is sitting in his Hokage seat with a relaxed posture.
But the real Hokage himself could only stand aside like a servant. Menma didn't even touch the cup of hot tea on the table that he had just made for the other party with his own hands to maintain the surface of courtesy.
It's not that he's afraid of being poisoned, but Menma doesn't want to take off his mask.
From the other party's bland narrative, he knew that Danzo's ambitions and actions had completely angered Menma, and he also knew that his old friend who had gone astray was probably in danger at this moment, and his end was destined.
Intellectually, it is clear that Danzo is to blame for this, but decades of experience with Bonds still makes this old man feel a burst of unspeakable sadness and sadness.
However, at this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi no longer even has the time to feel sad for the passing of his old friend.
Just now, there was a series of terrifying explosions outside Konoha, like earth shaking, and the chakra torrent full of violence and destruction that could be clearly felt even from such a distance.
Although Third Hokage is not a professional perceptive Ninja, he will never admit his mistake for the chakra that once brought pain to Konoha——
That's Kurama's chakra! And... could this violent degree mean that he has gone berserk?!
Combining the truth about Uchiha Massacre's night and Itachi's extreme actions that Menma just told in front of him, a terrifying speculation instantly took shape in Third Hokage's mind.
Itachi... did she do something to Naruto while stimulating Satsuki?! Completely angered Kurama?! Has she gone too far?!
When he thought of that possible control scene, Third Hokage's heart instantly rose to his throat, and he was almost overwhelmed with anxiety and worry! He couldn't wait to use Body Flicker Technique immediately, rush to the scene as quickly as possible, and risk his life to prevent another "Nine-Tails Rebellion" that might happen!
However, just as his footsteps moved slightly, an unabashed warning look firmly pinned him to the ground.
Can't go!
A cruel choice problem weighed heavily on Third Hokage's heart.
If I don't stop it... and let Kurama go completely berserk, given the current situation of Konoha, anni may really be completely destroyed! He couldn't sit back and watch such a tragedy happen again.
If you insist on going... if you anger the leader of the [Jhin] organization with unfathomable strength and moodiness, he is fully capable of razing Konoha to the ground before Kurama can cause damage! The ending is also destruction!
Going will also lead to destruction, and not going will also lead to destruction!
Huge pressure pressed on Third Hokage's shoulders, making his body, which was no longer young, look even more rickety.
He could only puff hard on the pipe in his hand, and the thick smoke lingered around his wrinkled face, but it could not dispel the deep haze.
All that was left in his heart was a silent prayer over and over again. All his hopes were placed on his disciple's children - please Naruto not to be swallowed up by the power.
Until now.
Click.
Hokage The door of the office, which is now strictly forbidden to be opened, was pushed open from the outside.
Under the gaze of Third Hokage, two figures walked in from the door - the leader, whether it was his attire, height, or the iconic weird Fox Mask on his face, was exactly the same as the one [Menma] sitting on Hokage Position at the moment!
Behind this new "Menma", there is another figure who is also wearing Fox Mask and whose face cannot be seen clearly.
"Menma", who was sitting in the seat of Hokage, seemed not surprised by this, and he stood up slowly.
"Have you got what you need?" "Menma" on the seat asked.
"Menma" who had just entered the door nodded, "Yes, I found it. All I can say is that it is indeed the cell known as 'God of Shinobi'... Even though it has been gone for many years, its remaining vitality and energy are still astonishing and terrifying. It was indeed hidden a bit deep, and after some effort, I found it."
"Menma" on the seat seemed satisfied with the answer and nodded slightly. "Then my mission is completed, and I'll leave it to you. By the way, don't forget to pick up that 'filial daughter'."
After the words fell, under the astonished gaze of Hiruzen Sarutobi, the figure of "Menma" sitting on the seat of Hokage made a soft "bang" sound and disappeared into a cloud of green smoke.
Shadow Clone...
Third Hokage suddenly turned his eyes to the "Menma" who had just arrived at the door.
So... is this... the true identity of the leader of the [Jhin] organization?
However, Menma at the door seemed to have lost his patience to continue talking. He raised his hand casually, took out a scroll from his sleeve robe, flicked his wrist, and threw it towards Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Third Hokage subconsciously caught the scroll.
"Take a good look, Third Hokage." Menma's voice came through the mask, "To be honest, your old friend left more 'surprises' than I thought. Because Danzo died in a hurry, his men did not seem to have received the order to destroy the evidence."
He raised his hand and pointed at the scroll in Third Hokage's hand.
"This is only a small part. The rest... you should go to his lair to confirm with your own eyes."
