Nine-Tails' Rampage

As the Uchiha clan celebrated Sasuke's birth, a disheveled figure wearing an orange tiger-striped mask flashed through the darkness.

"Foolish Uchiha clan..."

A scarlet gleam flashed through the darkness as well, but no one in the Uchiha clan noticed the figure.

Meanwhile, in Sasuke's room.

Itachi Uchiha held the tiny Sasuke in his arms, his eyes full of tenderness.

His gaze brimmed with affection.

Itachi Uchiha had matured early. At a young age, he had followed his father to the battlefield of the Third Ninja World War. There, Itachi watched his clansmen die beside him and enemies die beneath his blade.

He had already grown accustomed to death.

But this was the first time he had witnessed the birth of life.

The birth of life was so wondrous. It was simply a miracle.

Sasuke sucked on his finger as he looked at Itachi Uchiha, who was holding him.

Ever since his birth, although he possessed the mind of an adult, he was limited by his body and had no way to express himself properly.

Thus, Sasuke did not like to cry. Aside from when he had first been born, when the midwife slapped his bottom and made him cry.

A newborn's skin was extremely sensitive, and even slight pain was agony to Sasuke.

[Host: Uchiha Sasuke.]

[Age: 1 year old.]

[Special Physique: Indra reincarnation, chakra affinity.]

[Kekkei Genkai: Two-Tomoe Sharingan.]

[Chakra Attributes: Lightning, Fire.]

Time flew by, and three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Unlike other children, Sasuke had already learned to crawl and could vaguely call out a few words.

Father, Mother, Brother...

This undoubtedly delighted Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Mikoto, and Itachi.

But danger arrived silently.

Because the Uchiha clan was descended from Uchiha Madara, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, had always disliked them.

By the time of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, he had relocated the Uchiha clan to the outskirts of Konoha, weakened their authority, and demoted them to the "Konoha Police Force."

Uchiha Fugaku was the captain of the Konoha Police Force.

At that moment, within Konoha's urban district.

On a dark street, space suddenly rippled, and a figure clad in a hooded robe and wearing a tiger-striped mask abruptly appeared.

There was no emotion in Uchiha Obito's eyes as he muttered, "There is no need for this false world to exist..."

The next moment, Uchiha Obito crouched down and slapped the ground with one hand. "Summoning Jutsu!"

Beneath the silver moon hanging in the sky, the Nine-Tails descended in an instant, its eyes filled with brutality.

Its nine tails wildly devastated the surrounding buildings!

Yet Uchiha Obito quietly vanished and appeared atop a distant platform, silently watching the scene unfold!

Uchiha clan, Konoha Police Force!

Fugaku, who was on patrol, suddenly heard a loud boom in the distance and looked up!

At the very center of Konoha, an orange-furred Nine-Tailed Fox was wreaking havoc!

The Nine-Tails had been released!

A faint smile curled across Fugaku's lips. Though he did not know who had done it, it was highly beneficial to the Uchiha clan.

It would be best if the village descended into chaos. Only then would the Uchiha clan continue to be valued!

Fugaku immediately gathered his men. "Uchiha clansmen, first-rank officers and second-rank officers, come with me!"

"Yes, Clan Head!"

The Uchiha members followed behind Fugaku and rushed toward the Nine-Tailed Fox!

Along the way, Uchiha Fugaku said to his clansmen, "Do not attack the Nine-Tails. That will provoke its fury. We only need to protect those without combat ability!"

"But, Clan Head—"

Uchiha Fugaku gave him a cold look. "No buts. This is an order!"

And the Nine-Tails was actually rampaging in the direction of the Uchiha clan!

At the Uchiha residence, Itachi watched the Nine-Tails slowly move toward them. He picked up Sasuke and left the Uchiha clan grounds.

Then, together with Konoha's civilians, he hurried toward the shelter!

Itachi Uchiha said to Sasuke, "Don't be afraid, Sasuke. Your brother will protect you."

But just then.

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, appeared. He slapped the ground with one hand and summoned the ape demon, Enma.

Enma transformed into a massive staff. Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "I'm counting on you, old friend!"

The next moment, the enormous staff extended infinitely in Hiruzen's hand, striking directly against the Nine-Tails' chest and shoving it out of Konoha!

Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted, "ANBU, go summon the Fourth and Danzo!"

An ANBU member said, "Lord Third, Lord Fourth has already arrived on the battlefield. We don't know where Lord Danzo has gone!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said angrily, "That bastard Danzo always disappears whenever the village is in danger!"

In the distance, the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, appeared and summoned a gigantic toad, which pinned the Nine-Tails beneath it!

But summoning jutsu alone could not secure victory!

Left with no other choice, the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, could only think of using the Reaper Death Seal to perish together with the Nine-Tails!

The Fourth Hokage formed hand seals and used the Reaper Death Seal, sealing himself and half of the Nine-Tails' soul inside the Shinigami's stomach!

Then, before his death, Namikaze Minato used the Eight Trigrams Sealing to seal the other half of the Nine-Tails within his newborn child, Uzumaki Naruto.

The Nine-Tails' enormous claws also pierced through Kushina and Minato's bodies.

Feeling their lives slipping away, they looked at the newborn Naruto with tears in their eyes.

Tears streamed from the corners of Minato's eyes. "Naruto, your father was the Hokage. Dying for the village was my responsibility. I hope that in the future, you can protect the village too."

Kushina could not bear to part with Naruto. Her heart ached for her child. If Naruto had no father or mother from the moment he was born, how sad would he be?

At that moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen also arrived before Minato and Kushina. Mustering her last strength, Kushina said, "Lord Third, please take good care of Naruto..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen vowed solemnly, "Don't worry. You sacrificed yourselves for the village. Naruto is the Hokage's son, the descendant of heroes. We will treat him well!"

Upon hearing the Third Hokage's words, Minato and Kushina lost all signs of life.
