Konoha is exceptionally lively today. Fu, the Seven-Tails jinchuriki from Takigakure, has long been a star among friends from various villages due to her lively and cheerful personality. Her visit this time is nominally for cultural exchange, but in reality, she is looking for an opportunity to spar with the Hokage, Naruto, and to taste the new items at Ichiraku Ramen. The village streets are decorated with lanterns and filled with laughter, while children surround Fu, curiously watching the phantom wings that occasionally manifest behind her.

However, outside this peaceful atmosphere, a pair of cold eyes is locked onto that joyful figure through the layers of the crowd.

Uchiha Sakuya stands atop the Hokage Rock, far from the bustle, overlooking the entire village. He wears a replicated, old-fashioned purple high-collared combat robe in the style of Uchiha Madara, the hem of which snaps in the wind. His face is wrapped in thick bandages, revealing only a pair of eyes so deep they are chilling—the state of the "Eighty Gods Mirror" when it is usually hidden. Slung across his back is a massive chakra weapon, a replica of the Uchiha Flame Fan.

Fu's smile and the villagers' joy are blindingly offensive in his eyes. This hypocritical peace is built upon the bones of the Uchiha clan.

The time has come. He whispers to himself, his voice sounding muffled and distorted through the bandages. Naruto and Sasuke happen to be away from the village on an urgent S-rank mission and cannot return in the short term. This is the moment when Konoha's defenses are at their weakest and the jinchuriki is most prone to losing control.

He leaps, gliding silently like a hunting Owlman, diving straight toward the central plaza of the village—where Fu is playing with the children.

!

Without any warning, a terrifying shockwave of chakra, imbued with a destructive aura, slams into the edge of the plaza! The massive explosion instantly tears through the joyful atmosphere!

Dust fills the air, and debris flies everywhere!

The terrified screams of the people come to an abrupt halt, replaced by chaos and wailing!

"Enemy attack!!" The alarm of Konoha sounds shrilly.

From within the dust, a figure wrapped in bandages, dressed in ancient Uchiha attire and carrying a massive fan, slowly emerges. He radiates a cold, killing intent and a terrifying pressure that feels almost tangible, making it hard to breathe.

"Who... who is that?!" "His clothes... are those Uchiha?!" "Protect Miss Fu!"

The Anbu and jonin react instantly, countless figures lunging toward the uninvited guest!

However, Sakuya does not even glance at them. He has only one target—Fu!

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!" An Anbu performs hand seals, and a high-pressure wind sphere shoots toward Sakuya! "Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!" Another jonin exhales a massive fire dragon!

The fan on Sakuya's back swings violently!

"Uchiha Reflection!"

The terrifying wind sphere and fire dragon collide with the fan, only to be instantly absorbed and reflected back with even more violent power! Boom! Boom! The two ninjas scream as they are blown away by their own techniques!

"Don't look directly into his eyes!" Kakashi's roar comes from afar, but it is already too late!

Beneath Sakuya's bandages, the light of the "Eighty Gods Mirror" in his eyes suddenly flares!

With just a simple sweep of his gaze!

The dozen ninjas lunging at him freeze instantly, their eyes unfocused as they fall into a terrifying genjutsu, attacking each other or standing dazed in place! Advanced Genjutsu: Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change!

He walks through the chaotic crowd and the interception of the ninjas as if strolling in a garden, every step carrying the rhythm of death, moving precisely toward Fu, who is pale and tightly guarded by her protectors.

"Who... who are you?!" Fu is both shocked and furious, the Seven-Tails chakra within her beginning to churn due to fear and anger.

Sakuya does not answer. He raises his hand, his five fingers slightly curled.

"Secret Technique: Scale Powder Concealment!" Fu subconsciously releases the hypnotic scale powder.

But Sakuya's "Eighty Gods Mirror" has already seen through it! He does not even dodge; the patterns in his eyes shift slightly, and the scale powder passes directly through his body!

The "penetration" of the space-time power of "Kamui" can defend against any physical contact damage!

The next moment, he accelerates violently! His figure pierces through Fu's guards like a ghost! One hand, wreathed in pitch-black, ominous chakra (replicated from a forbidden technique), reaches directly toward Fu's abdomen—the location of the seal!

"Don't you dare hurt her!" A roar echoes as Choji Akimichi suddenly expands, his massive fist slamming down! At the same time, a barrage of ninja tools from Tenten shoots over like a rainstorm!

Sakuya frowns slightly, forced to temporarily abandon direct contact with the seal. He slams the fan into the ground! "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!" (Replicated from the Book of Sealing)

A sea of fire appears out of thin air, instantly swallowing Tenten's ninja tools and forcing Choji to retreat repeatedly!

Under the cover of these flames, Sakuya's fingers form an extremely strange and complex seal—it is the opening move of the Forbidden Technique: Phantom Dragons Nine Consuming Seals (simplified version), which he successfully replicated from the Book of Sealing at a great cost, specifically targeting unstable seals! Although he cannot extract the Tailed Beast directly like the "Akatsuki" did back then, it is enough to violently impact and briefly distort the jinchuriki's seal!

An invisible, terrifying force aimed at the seal strikes Fu instantly!

"Ahhhhhhh—!!!" Fu lets out a shrill scream, her body trembling violently as the massive Seven-Tails chakra erupts uncontrollably like a burst dam! Carapaces begin to appear on her skin, and the massive wings on her back snap open!

"Seven-Tails: Chomei" is on the verge of losing control!

"Oh no! The seal!" Shikamaru, in the distance, is horrified!

But it is all too late!

The completely out-of-control Fu (or rather, the Seven-Tails) lets out a deafening roar, and with a sweep of her massive tail, she sends the surrounding buildings and ninjas flying!

Chaos! Utter chaos!

Sakuya watches all this coldly; his goal has been achieved. He charges into the chaos toward the writhing Seven-Tails, attempting to subdue it and take it away.

However, at this very moment—

"Stop!!!" Two roars of extreme fury come from the horizon!

A golden flash and purple lightning streak across the sky like meteors, landing with incredible speed!

Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha have actually returned early! Their faces are filled with unprecedented anger and anxiety!

"Sakuya! It really is you!" Naruto looks at the devastated village and Fu, who is about to fully transform into the Tailed Beast, and his golden chakra cloak erupts instantly! "Unforgivable!" Sasuke's Rinnegan and Sharingan open simultaneously, and Amenotejikara is already prepared!

Without a word, the battle erupts instantly!

Naruto enters the Kurama Mode instantly, countless chakra arms reaching toward Sakuya! Sasuke activates Amenotejikara, instantly swapping positions with a kunai near Sakuya, his Kusanagi Sword thrusting straight at Sakuya's heart!

Sakuya's pupils constrict! The pressure surges!

Yet he did not panic! The Eighty Gods Mirror spun frantically!

Facing Naruto's chakra arms, he swung the fan behind his back once more! "Uchiha Reflection!" But this time, the Nine-Tails' chakra was too immense; the reflection did not fully succeed, merely deflecting the majority of the attack while he himself was shaken, his blood and qi surging in turmoil!

Facing Sasuke's assassination attempt, the patterns in his eyes spun rapidly! At the critical moment, he actually utilized a technique similar to Amenotejikara! Although it was extremely clumsy and consumed a massive amount of energy, he still barely managed to avoid a lethal blow, though a wound deep enough to expose bone was carved into his shoulder!

"You even managed to learn this..." A flash of shock crossed Sasuke's eyes!

Sakuya let out a muffled groan, but his movements did not cease! He formed hand seals! "Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!" (The Hashirama cell data had been taken and transplanted when he passed by a research facility while stealing the Book of Sealing.)

Although far inferior to the First Hokage's, countless thick trees still burst from the ground, entangling Naruto and Sasuke to temporarily block their offensive!

"Wood Release?! How is that possible!" Naruto was shocked out of his wits!

Taking advantage of this brief gap, Sakuya lunged toward the Seven-Tails, which had almost completely transformed into its tailed-beast state! He had to take it away!

"Don't even think about it!" Naruto and Sasuke erupted simultaneously, instantly breaking free from the Wood Release!

"Six Paths: Ultra-Big Ball Rasenshuriken!"

"Indra's Arrow!"

Two attacks capable of destroying the world converged on Sakuya from the left and right, sealing off all his room to dodge!

For the first time, an expression of extreme gravity appeared in Sakuya's eyes! Dealing with the full-force strikes of these two simultaneously was an almost impossible task, even with the Eighty Gods Mirror! The consumption required to copy and execute these techniques was far beyond imagination; he was already at the end of his rope!

Just at this critical juncture—

Hum!

Space twisted in a bizarre fashion!

A figure wearing a spiral-patterned white mask and a black full-body robe appeared before Sakuya without warning!

Facing those world-destroying attacks, he merely raised his hands calmly.

"Kamui!"

The massive Rasenshuriken and Indra's Arrow were swallowed as if by an invisible spatial vortex, vanishing instantly without a trace! They didn't even stir up a ripple!

"What?!" Naruto and Sasuke's pupils constricted as they stared in disbelief at this suddenly appearing figure, who felt both familiar and strange!

"Obito...?!!" Kakashi's exclamation rang out, filled with immense shock and complexity!

Obito did not turn back, merely saying to the panting Sakuya behind him in a low voice: "Enough. It is time to go."

Having said that, he reached out and grabbed Sakuya and the miniature Seven-Tails—which had momentarily stalled in confusion after its attack was diverted (its berserk state forcibly interrupted)—and space twisted violently once more!

"Don't think you can run!" Naruto and Sasuke reacted immediately, rushing forward with all their might!

But from beneath Obito's mask, a faint sigh seemed to emerge.

"Kamui Raikiri!" (A Raikiri combined with the Kamui Dimension)

A bolt of lightning wreathed in the power of spatial distortion shot toward the two, forcing them to dodge and block!

In that split second of delay, Obito, Sakuya, and the Seven-Tails jinchuriki Fu vanished completely into the twisted spatial vortex, leaving no trace behind.

They left behind only the devastated Konoha, along with a shocked, furious, and endlessly bewildered Naruto, Sasuke, and all the ninjas of Konoha.

The dark clouds in the sky seemed to grow even heavier.

Uchiha Sakuya had not only successfully wreaked havoc in Konoha and severely damaged the village's defenses and morale, but he had also forcibly taken away a berserk jinchuriki right in front of the Hokage and Uchiha Sasuke.

And the one who had rescued him was none other than the man who should have long been dead... Uchiha Obito.

All of this signaled that a greater storm was approaching.
