The Nine-Tails understood the darkness of the human heart all too well, which was why it had always lived in seclusion, deep within the mountains and forests, far away from the world of men.

What it couldn't fathom was why humans managed to track it down every dozen years or so, forcing it to find yet another quiet place to sleep.

But this time, the Nine-Tails could clearly sense that this group of ninja intended to drag it down, determined not to let it escape.

Enraged, the Nine-Tails condensed a Tailed Beast Bomb, brimming with destructive and ruinous power.

"Oh no, it's a Tailed Beast Bomb! Run!"

Upon seeing the Tailed Beast Bomb, the Senju ninja were struck with panic, their faces pale as they scrambled to flee in every direction.

BOOM!!!

The explosive power of a Tailed Beast Bomb was far more than these Senju ninja could withstand.

Those who were too slow to escape were reduced to nothingness in the wake of the blast.

The few who survived struggled to their feet from the ruins, looking utterly wretched.

The power of the Tailed Beast was terrifying, and the Nine-Tails, having no desire to be stalled by these ninja, took off immediately after the explosion.

The Nine-Tails feared nothing, save for sealing techniques.

Once, a powerful Uzumaki expert, highly skilled in sealing arts, had sealed it within his own body.

The Nine-Tails never wanted to experience those days of being sealed again; it believed these damned humans would never produce the kind of person the old man had spoken of.

After struggling for decades, the Nine-Tails had only seen the light of day again after that man died.

From that moment on, the Nine-Tails swore it would never be sealed again.

"Hold the Nine-Tails back! Don't let it get away!"

These Senju ninja were relentless, refusing to give up on their objective; seeing the Nine-Tails attempt to flee, they disregarded their own injuries to pin it down.

Layer upon layer of Rashomon gates were summoned by the Senju ninja, not only blocking the path of the Nine-Tails but sealing off the entire perimeter.

BOOM!!!

The furious Nine-Tails slammed a claw directly into a Rashomon gate, only to find that the gate had actually withstood its attack.

ROAR!!!

The Nine-Tails let out an enraged howl toward the heavens.

Immediately following, a barrage of smaller Tailed Beast Bombs shattered the Rashomon gates.

"Damn it, we still can't hold it?"

The group of Senju ninja, covered in dust and grime, watched with deep unwillingness as the Nine-Tails moved further away from them.

"Pursue it! Even if we can't stop it, we must track its location. This is a death order—even if you die, you must ensure that when the clan leader and the others arrive, they can find the Nine-Tails."

"Yes, Captain!"

The unwilling Senju elite jonin issued the order immediately, leading the others in a frantic pursuit while leaving behind special markers along the way.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Yang was able to arrive a step ahead due to his proximity.

By the time Uchiha Yang reached the scene, however, the Nine-Tails was nowhere to be seen, leaving behind only a landscape in ruins.

"Where is the Nine-Tails?"

Uchiha Sei looked around anxiously, trying to find any clues.

"Lord Yang, Great Elder, I've found a special mark. It must have been left by those Senju scum."

Uchiha Sake, who had been searching for clues, suddenly crouched down. After touching the special symbol on the ground and confirming it was a marker, he hurried back to report.

"Go and take a look."

From inside the carriage, Uchiha Yang's languid voice drifted out.

"As you command."

Uchiha Ya pulled the carriage to the spot where the special symbol was carved, and the Great Elder hurried over to inspect it.

"That's right, this is the symbol those Senju scum always use."

The Great Elder, Uchiha Sei, said with visible excitement.

"These symbols must contain information, but as for the direction, there's no need to guess; a blind man could track the path the Nine-Tails carved out."

Inside the carriage, Uchiha Yang chuckled faintly. "If we have time for that, we might as well just give chase, lest Senju Hashirama beats us to the punch."

"That is my designated pet, after all. Hurry up and pursue it."

Uchiha Sei couldn't help but offer a wry smile at these words; he had no idea where the young Yang got the confidence to want a Tailed Beast as a pet.

The area was filled with high, cloud-shrouded mountains and winding, treacherous roads, forcing Uchiha Yang to abandon the carriage and have two Shadow Guards carry his palanquin instead.

The path the Nine-Tails had taken had caused massive destruction to the mountainside.

Uchiha Yang observed the surrounding environment, faintly hearing the roar of a beast echoing from the air ahead.

"In that direction. Speed up."

Uchiha Sei seemed to have heard the sound as well. After confirming the direction, he couldn't contain his excitement and vanished before everyone's eyes, turning into a blurred afterimage.

"Lord Yang, should we follow the Great Elder?"

Uchiha Sake saw how anxious the Great Elder was, but he dared not act on his own authority and could only hurriedly ask for instructions.

"Why is the Great Elder in such a rush? Haste makes waste, after all."

Uchiha Yang stepped out from the palanquin, his foot sinking into the soft soil.

"We are in no hurry. As for the Great Elder, let him be."

Uchiha Yang shook his head as he walked forward. "Don't just stand there, keep up."

Honestly, when is Uchiha Madara actually arriving?

If my strongest laborer, Uchiha Madara, doesn't show up, am I expected to subdue the Nine-Tails myself?

Unaware of the truth, Uchiha Sake and Uchiha Ya saw Lord Yang's confident demeanor and assumed he already had a way to deal with the Tailed Beast.

In an instant, both men were filled with admiration and awe for Lord Yang.

Xia Lian hurriedly emerged from the palanquin, clutching an important parcel, and scrambled to follow her master.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Madara was still rushing over. He was worried about his cousin's safety; the Tailed Beast could be abandoned, but his cousin had to be kept safe at all costs.

"I will use these eyes to protect you all."

Dashing forward in a blur of motion, Uchiha Madara, clad in red armor, activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, a conviction he had never felt before flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, Uchiha Sei, who had arrived first, had already spotted the Nine-Tails, which was currently trapped deep within a mire.

It was clearly caught in a Mud Swamp Trap set by the Senju Clan; while it caused no real damage, it held the Nine-Tails firmly in place.

The Nine-Tails had not expected these insignificant humans to be capable of trapping it.

However, the Senju ninjas were faring no better; a large number of them had fallen in battle, and those who remained had little combat strength left.

Uchiha Sei, who had originally intended to finish off the remaining Senju ninjas, suddenly thought of Uchiha Yang.

If he intervened, would it disrupt Uchiha Yang's plans?

If he caused the clan to suffer heavy losses because of his own actions, he would become a sinner in the eyes of the clan.

In an instant, Uchiha Sei's urgent heart calmed down.

"Human, I shall send you to meet the ancestors of your Senju Clan!"

The enraged Nine-Tails was gathering a massive Tailed Beast Bomb, intending to send this foolhardy human to the afterlife.

Seeing this, Uchiha Sei felt fortunate that he hadn't acted rashly; otherwise, the Nine-Tails' fury might have shifted toward him.

Meanwhile, the leisurely Uchiha Yang heard a thunderous roar, and the surrounding mountains shook violently as boulders and sand tumbled down from the heights.

Nine-Tails.

"Protect Lord Yang!"

Uchiha Sake and Uchiha Ya hurriedly used Earth Style, raising a thick wall of earth that firmly blocked the falling boulders.

"This commotion must be the Tailed Beast Bomb."

Uchiha Yang's face was filled with excitement.

The image of himself leading the Nine-Tails in the future, tossing Tailed Beast Bombs at his enemies one after another, was simply too satisfying to imagine.

The Senju Clan had truly gone all out this time.
