The Nine-Tails' Rampage Still Occurs

Three years later, on an ordinary day, Ensei Uchiha was contemplating the next steps for his chakra experiments.

Suddenly, a wave of malice-filled chakra completely enveloped Ensei Uchiha.

In that instant, Ensei Uchiha felt his entire body stiffen, as if his very thoughts had come to a grinding halt.

It was a revulsion and terror born from instinct.

After a long moment, Ensei Uchiha regained his senses and immediately realized what was happening.

"The Nine-Tails' Rampage! How is this possible?"

"What on earth is Minato Namikaze doing? I told him everything; how could he not have prevented this?"

"Could it be White Zetsu's reconnaissance? But even so..."

Before he could think too much, his door was kicked open, and the person who entered was none other than Uchiha Inaho, who had been responsible for looking after him.

"Ensei, follow everyone to the shelter immediately. Don't ask why, and don't wander off!"

After pushing the door open and leaving that warning, Uchiha Inaho's figure vanished without a trace.

Watching Uchiha Inaho disappear using the Body Flicker Technique, Ensei Uchiha knew in his heart that whatever he did, it would all be in vain.

Looking up at the incredibly dense chakra in the sky, Ensei Uchiha suddenly realized that the intense malice he had sensed earlier was gone.

"The 'lie-flat' plan has failed... looks like I have to find a way to fight for it!"

"My luck... really is terrible!"

Ensei Uchiha muttered to himself. Instead of heading to the shelter as Uchiha Inaho had instructed, he returned home, pulled out a hidden compartment, and took out dozens of scrolls.

In his memories, other factions in the Land of Fire noticed the Nine-Tails losing control at this time and managed to collect a very small portion of its chakra.

Although it was only the equivalent of three tails, for an ordinary ninja, it was already a disaster-level existence.

Coincidentally, Ensei Uchiha's recent research into chakra had yielded some results, and he needed other types of chakra for comparative reference.

Even though he had already formed a plan, this fear of the unknown still made Ensei Uchiha frown involuntarily.

But there was no time to hesitate; Ensei Uchiha quickly prepared everything.

In truth, there wasn't much to prepare; stuffing a few scrolls into his robes was enough.

Over these three years, Ensei Uchiha had learned some of the most basic sealing techniques. While he couldn't seal chakra itself, he could certainly manipulate and use the vessels that others had stolen to contain it.

After leaving his house, Ensei Uchiha used the Transformation Technique to alter his height and appearance, then vanished from the spot with a Body Flicker.

The next moment, Ensei Uchiha began darting through the village.

As a major natural disaster unfolding in Konoha, the village was naturally in complete chaos. Under these circumstances, the Anbu usually responsible for guarding the village were far too busy to keep track of the situation inside.

Meanwhile, the spies already present within Konoha, as well as the retainers of wealthy merchants and nobles, all began to take action.

Among these people, Ensei Uchiha's presence was particularly conspicuous.

It couldn't be helped; he was still too young. Although his chakra control was outstanding, his experience in assassination and stealth was still slightly lacking.

After eliminating two or three suspected foreign spies for Konoha, Ensei Uchiha successfully located his target.

At this moment, the Nine-Tails' aura in the distance suddenly began to spread.

This made the sealing ninjas below extremely excited. But Ensei Uchiha, hiding to the side, couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

That damn Hiruzen Sarutobi—it must be his cowardice, refusing to use the Reaper Death Seal.

As the Nine-Tails' chakra aura weakened, some of its chakra began to drift over Konoha, where it was slowly absorbed by a group of people below using some kind of apparatus.

This was Nine-Tails chakra, but it could also be considered the blood shed by the Nine-Tails.

After all, it had already been split into the Yin Nine-Tails and the Yang Nine-Tails; bleeding a little was perfectly normal.

The group below moved quickly, appearing extremely skilled in this kind of chakra theft.

But just as they completed the final step of the sealing process, a figure appeared out of thin air next to the sealing apparatus.

The next moment, an incomparable power erupted from around the person's body.

"Who goes there..."

A man who seemed to be the leader shouted, but the only response he received was a ninja sword flashing with red light.

An overwhelming explosive force surged from the blade.

In the next instant, as the sword shattered, a flame-like slash cut through the air in a flash.

The people present only realized they were being ambushed, and then, with that flash of fire, half of their men were already lost.

This move was the harvest of Ensei Uchiha's three years of effort. Though limited by his age, the chakra in his body was only enough to use this move once.

But... it was enough!

Before the remaining men could react, Ensei Uchiha had already vanished from everyone's sight, taking the sealing apparatus with him.

"Chachamaru, well done!"

"The timing was perfect."

At this moment, having used the Reverse Summoning Technique to reach the Ninja Cat Village, Ensei Uchiha spoke with great satisfaction to the orange ninja cat beside him.

This cat, a ninja cat just newly born three years ago when Ensei Uchiha signed the contract, even its name was given by Ensei Uchiha.

But now, in just three years, it has grown into an extremely outstanding existence among the ninja cat clan.

And all of this, naturally, was thanks to Ensei Uchiha's research on chakra.

"Meow meow, what on earth did you bring back?"

Just as Chachamaru was about to say something, he suddenly noticed the sealing jar in Ensei Uchiha's hand, and the entire cat's fur immediately stood on end in fright.

And at this moment, Granny Cat also sensed the Nine-Tails' aura and rushed over.

"Kid Ensei, what have you done? Is the Uchiha clan going to rebel against Konoha today? Why would even an existence like the Nine-Tails..."

Granny Cat was naturally startled after sensing the Nine-Tails' chakra. But her reaction was naturally much calmer than Chachamaru's.

Although the ninja cat clan is not a powerful beast clan, being able to survive in the ninja world and maintain arms trade with various villages naturally means they are not too weak.

"Don't worry, Granny Cat. Although Konoha is not in a good situation right now, it's probably not as bad as you think."

"Or rather, it would be a ghost if Fugaku Uchiha, that useless coward, dared to rebel."

"As for this... it's just some malicious scoundrels who collected some of the chakra that the Nine-Tails shed."

Ensei Uchiha briefly explained the origin of the sealing jar in his hand, but Granny Cat didn't seem to care about that, and absolutely refused to let such a dangerous thing be stored here.

But in fact, Ensei Uchiha had no intention of leaving this thing with the ninja cats.

Cannot find the book title, you can try searching for the author, perhaps the name has been changed!
