All the Anbu knew was that the village had entered its highest state of alert. None of them knew their true mission.
But even if Konoha exhausted every means at its disposal, even if its defenses were planned to perfection...
The coming catastrophe still could not be avoided.
An earth-shaking roar resounded throughout Konoha. Terrifying Nine-Tails chakra surged into the sky as black clouds loomed over the village, fierce winds howled, and the ground shook!
The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, forcibly unleashed by Obito, burst into the world!
Its enormous tails swept in every direction. Konoha's sturdy buildings collapsed in an instant, sending rubble and splinters flying. Scorching chakra burned the earth, and billowing smoke blotted out the entire sky.
The devastating catastrophe arrived right on schedule. Prosperous, peaceful Konoha plunged into chaos in the blink of an eye!
Civilians screamed and fled, their cries rising one after another. Every ninja mobilized at once, and battle engulfed every corner of the village.
At this moment of life and death, every member of the Uchiha Clan, Konoha's strongest kekkei genkai clan, instantly went on high alert!
The clan's ninja gripped their ninja tools and activated their Sharingan, their gazes sharp and their fighting spirit soaring. They immediately prepared to rush to the battlefield, confront the Nine-Tails, and support the Fourth Hokage!
But just as the Uchiha Clan stood ready to head into battle, a sinister figure leading a group of Root ninja abruptly blocked their path.
It was Shimura Danzō!
Danzo's face was dark, calculation and malice lurking in his eyes. He spoke coldly, stopping every Uchiha ninja in their tracks.
"Halt!"
"Orders from the Hokage!"
"The Konoha Military Police Force is to take full responsibility for maintaining public order during this Nine-Tails incident. The Uchiha Clan is not required to fight!"
