The Nine-Tails Incident, Part Two

Uchiha Clan Compound

At the top of a tall building, Uchiha Ruofeng sat on the edge of the rooftop, gazing at the full moon in the sky.

"Chiho..."

Ruofeng narrowed his eyes, Flash Cut red light appearing within them, revealing a murderous aura and a ferocious expression.

"Ruofeng, are you still consumed by hatred?"

A red-haired woman came to the edge of the roof and sat down next to Ruofeng.

"Lord Naraku, he seems to have forgotten the hatred for Chiho! He has forgotten Chiho's contributions!"

On Ruofeng's handsome face, the red light in his eyes intensified, and the Three Tomoe turned into a strange pattern.

"No, Naraku isn't that kind of person. I believe Lord Naraku has taken it to heart. Danzo has served as a high-ranking official in Konoha for many years, and now that he has been stripped of his position and power, he can't be killed just because he's been removed from office."

The red-haired woman offered soft Uzumaki Taki, with the passage of time, had gained a touch of mature charm.

"Timidity, timidity, I've had enough! The Uchiha needs a wise, powerful, and decisive leader!"

Uzumaki Taki was very surprised to hear Uchiha Ruofeng's words. He never expected that the usually quiet and silent Ruofeng had such a violent heart.

"Ruofeng, our Uzumaki Clan leader, Lord Uzumaki Nao, has always Naraku, believing him to be the one who revived the Uchiha clan. In all wisdom, Naraku certainly qualifies. You... you shouldn't overthink it..."

Uzumaki Taki gently, offering soft words of comfort.

Ruofeng hearing these words, Ruofeng, whose face had been somewhat contorted with rage, regained his composure.

"Yes, I know Lord Naraku is wise and mighty, but this has taken too long, so long that I suspect Lord Naraku has forgotten Chiho, forgotten that Chiho died with his eyes wide open in disbelief..."

The sound of dripping water slid down; a few drops of water fell from the eaves.

Looking at Ruofeng's sorrowful face, Uzumaki Taki felt a pang of heartache and gently wiped away Ruofeng's tears.

Outside Konoha

The masked man in black Masked Ninja hand on Kushina's head, absorbing Kushina, and then disappeared in a whirlwind.

With her Tsunade Chakra the Strength of a Hundred Technique to break the Genjutsu in just over a second.

Suddenly, the black-robed, Masked Ninja swirled in the air and vanished without a trace. Kushina seemed to have been abducted as well, disappearing from sight as well.

"Hateful!"

Tsunade watched as the mysterious Masked Ninja's whirlwind disappeared, then turned her gaze to the fallen Anbu and Biwako Sarutobi. Ignoring her anger, she rushed to help the fallen personnel.

"Namikaze Minato will report the abnormality to the village; saving lives is the priority."

In the Shinobi World, although several people were killed, thanks to the activation and healing methods of the Mystical Palm Technique and methods such as electric shocks to the heart, they had only been dead for a short time. As long as their deaths were not too gruesome, the medical Tsunade was confident that she could save and heal them.

Outside the base, Namikaze Minato, carrying Naruto, breathed a sigh of relief after escaping the explosion.

"Thank goodness, Naruto isn't hurt."

Namikaze Minato breathed a sigh of relief, turning his gaze away from Naruto. Then, a fierce killing intent erupted as he pulled the splinter from his calf, which had been embedded in it during the building's explosion.

"He's after Kushina. I've been lured away from my post. I don't know if Lady Tsunade can handle this. I need to get back quickly."

Namikaze Minato understood the situation, pulled out the splinter that wasn't deeply embedded in his foot, and tossed it gently to the ground.

By the time the wooden spikes fell, Namikaze Minato had already disappeared from the spot and returned to his room in his mansion in Konoha.

On the other side

Uzumaki Kushina was taken hostage by the masked Masked Ninja and then released outside the village.

Kushina's seal weakened due to childbirth, allowing the Nine-Tails Chakra to surge within Kushina body.

"Come forth, Nine-Tails! Tailed Beast Extraction Seal!"

A crimson light flashed in the black-robed Masked Ninja's right eye. The sealing wooden stake inside Kushina's body, already loosened due to childbirth, trembled even more under the control of the mysterious Masked Ninja's final hand seal. The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox seized the opportunity to wreak havoc.

"Ugh!"

The sealing pattern on Kushina's stomach appeared, turning into a black hole from which a ball of red Chakra surged out.

After the red Chakra surged out, it transformed into the shape of a fox's head and quickly broke free from the seal.

Boom!

A gigantic red Nine-Tailed Demon Fox has appeared in the forest outside Konoha!

"Roar!"

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox roared wildly, excitedly waving its nine tails, causing the earth to shake.

Call out!

A flash of yellow light appeared, Namikaze Minato materialized using the Flying Thunder God Formula seal left on Kushina, pulling her into his arms. After rescuing Kushina, Minato glanced at Kushina Nine-Tailed Demon Fox and vanished again.

"Indeed, it lives up to the reputation of Flash."

The Masked Ninja black robes watched Namikaze Minato depart, his expression unreadable, whether it was praise or sarcasm.

"We also need to summon the Nine-Tails to Konoha."

A whirlwind rippled around the black-robed, Masked Ninja, and he vanished without a trace.

Namikaze Minato Flying Thunder God Technique to Body Flicker Technique return to his room in the mansion, placed Kushina on the bed, and snuggled up next to Naruto.

Minato and Kushina looked at Naruto, who seemed to be asleep, and their noses twitched.

"Naruto..."

Namikaze Minato, disregarding his discomfort, donned the Hokage Haori bestowed upon him by the Fourth Hokage, his face unusually serious as he spoke:

I'll be right back.

After giving his Namikaze Minato, Minato Namikaze vanished instantly.

Konoha Center

Naraku a high building, sensed the enormous Nine-Tailed Demon Fox outside the village; the unique intruder 'Chakra had already vanished.

People moved about in the village, gathering outside to prepare for the battle against the Nine-Tails.

"Aren't you going to come to the village center to summon the Nine-Tails?"

Naraku frowned slightly, hesitating as he considered whether to subdue the Nine-Tails first or wait here for it to come to him.

As the Fourth Hokage, it would be extremely dishonest for him to slack off here.

Call out!

A ripple appeared on the street, and a figure in a black robe and mask emerged.

"Come on! Nine-Tails! Summoning Technique!"

The Masked Ninja wants to summon the Nine-Tails to wreak havoc in the heart of Konoha! He wants to inflict heavy damage on Konoha, or even destroy Konoha!

The single eye revealed by the black-robed, Masked Ninja Sharingan, giving him a ferocious and tyrannical appearance.

The Masked Ninja channeled his Chakra, forming hand Hand Seals, and as he completed the final seal...

Call out!

"Didn't you kick him?"

A gust of wind howled, and in the middle of the road, Naraku slowly lowered his side-kick foot, controlling the force of his leg technique and conserving the Chakra in his foot. This kick, if it landed, would be enough to take down anyone. The sheer force of it caused a howling wind.

Seeing that the attack had penetrated, Naraku bounced back a few steps, staring at the person in front of him.

"I almost fell for it, Fourth Generation."

The Masked Ninja calmly stood up and offered a word of praise.

Obito, Obito black, looked at the respected clan leader before him, his pupils filled with even more savagery.

"Shinobi World War, you saved so many people, but why didn't you save me and Rin?!"

Obito in Obito was filled with darkness and tyranny.

Naraku looked at the person in front of him, and the direct, penetrating attack confirmed that it was indeed Obito.

"Obito, I didn't expect it to be you. Why?"

Naraku looked at the once cheerful and optimistic young man before him, now transformed into this state, and felt a mix of emotions.

"Heh heh, a junior from the Uchiha, not bad."

The man Obito the black robe let out a sinister laugh and offered a compliment.

"Stop pretending. I know you're Obito. Why has your Chakra become so dark? My senses probe souls. Unless you've been reincarnated, you can't hide your identity from me."

Naraku showed no mercy in exposing Obito's disguise.

"Last time at the Eastern Stronghold, I called you, why did you run away? Do you know how worried Minato, Kakashi, Nohara Rin, and Kushina were about you?"

Naraku sighed, sounding somewhat disappointed.

Obito, having his identity exposed, felt as if his mask had been ripped off, and was somewhat at a loss. After a long silence, he said:

"Is Rin worried about me in the Pure Land? Clan Chief, has your Ninjutsu already reached the point of communicating with the Netherworld?"
