Under the silver moon, the figure hidden beneath the black hat disappeared into the barrier, and the corpses on the ground died silently without a sound.
The cry of a newborn baby brought a sigh of relief to everyone inside the barrier. Minato, who had been suppressing the Nine-Tails' activity, was relieved of his burden and smiled at the Red-Haired Shanks woman lying there.
"Thank you, Kushina. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to become a father. Now, seal it away in one go. Don't cause trouble at this time, Nine-Tails."
After Biwako and another nurse took Naruto from him, just as Namikaze Minato was about to finish sealing the seal, two screams suddenly rang out.
In an instant, Minato turned around, only to see two corpses that had already died.
"Grandma Biwako, who are you!"
He turned his head hastily, and beneath the hood and the birch-colored striped mask, one eye was filled with coldness, and his tone was chilling.
" Fourth Hokage, if you don't want your child's life to last only five minutes, then get out of the way of the Jinchūriki..."
At this moment, Minato was icy cold, passing through the highest-level barrier without a sound, eliminating numerous Anbu members, and understanding the Jinchūriki's weakness during childbirth. Could this guy be...?
No, the most urgent thing is to buy time. If this continues, Kushina will...
"Wait, calm down..."
"It's a pity."
Without Minato any chance to stall, the Masked Man in front of him threw the child into the air with a flash Kunai cold light from his kunai.
" Naruto!"
With a flash, he caught Naruto as he flew into the sky. Before Minato could relax, the Masked Man Hand Seals and let out a sharp shout.
"Click!"
A flash of white light appeared, and the Explosive Tag had been stuck to Naruto's blanket at some point started to emit dust and smoke. Minato, caught in a dilemma, could only silently apologize in his heart.
After the Minato disappeared, the Masked Man slowly turned around, and the ripples in the space sucked Kushina into another dimension.
"I'll accept the Nine-Tails, Minato-sensei."
As night deepened, the streets, once filled with laughter and chatter, were suddenly enveloped in a chill.
A figure emerged from the swirling ripples, and in that eye, blinded by blood and hatred, flickered a desire for revenge called hatred.
" Summoning Jutsu!"
White Mist swirled around, its tail-like shape resembling a mountain range, causing landslides, tsunamis, and the earth to shake.
A strong wind blew, carrying the bewildered villagers far away, while several men who were already drunk were awakened from their intoxication.
"Wait, could that guy be... the Nine-Tails?!"
"Why is the Nine-Tails in the village? Run!"
"Oh no! Help!"
Unnoticed by anyone, when the Nine-Tails appeared, three jet-black Tomoe flashed by, and with a powerful swipe of its sharp claws, countless pavilions and houses were reduced to ruins.
Not far away, on the top floor of the Konoha Military Police Force, Uchiha Fugaku gazed into the distance, staring at the towering figure, and immediately gave the order.
" Police Force, proceed to the battlefield immediately to intercept the Nine-Tails!"
Suddenly, a shout stopped the Konoha Military Police Force that was about to move, and several members of Root appeared.
"Relay Lord Danzo's order: prohibit Police Force from approaching the battlefield, and immediately assist the village ninjas in maintaining order and evacuating the affected villagers!"
"Wait, what about the Nine-Tails?"
Fugaku's face darkened. What did the village mean by this? Were they worried that the Uchiha Clan would take advantage of the chaos to attack Nine-Tails?
"That has nothing to do with the Uchiha. Are you planning to disobey orders?"
In the distance, the wailing continued unabated. Fugaku's eyes shifted, but in the end, they could only turn into a sigh.
"Understood. Konoha Military Police Force, evacuate the villagers immediately to prevent secondary damage. Go."
A pair of Red Eye coldly swept over the four Root members. The Uchiha Clan members suppressed their anger and had no choice but to go to other areas to evacuate the people.
Some Police Force officers, whose hearts held ulterior motives, glared at the group with vicious intent.
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the Uchiha Clan, at the home of Uchiha Huayue.
Huayue rested her chin on her hand, glanced at everyone, and gave a cold smile.
"What a warm welcome! Is this Danzo's intention?"
" Lord Danzo has ordered that Lord Huayue be escorted to the refuge immediately. Lord Huayue is an outstanding person and we cannot afford to lose him in this matter."
The excuses given by the group of Anbu were not even believable to them. Twelve elite members of the Root organization, all fully armed, were determined to 'escort' him to the refuge.
"It seems that if we don't agree, we'll have to fight here. I understand. Let's go."
In Konoha, at the emergency evacuation site for the younger generation, a group of ninjas of the same generation had already gathered together after being evacuated from the village.
Before Huayue arrived, a familiar voice was shouting, causing Huayue to frown slightly.
"Why won't they let us onto the battlefield? We want to help too!"
"Calm down, Red!"
"We're ninjas too, why won't they let us go...?"
Just then, a multitude of footsteps approached. Everyone turned their heads and saw a group of Anbu Ninja tightly surrounding the figure in Black Cloak.
"It's been a long time, Uncle Shinku. It's not a good thing for fathers and daughters to quarrel, Hong."
" Huayue, what's going on?"
Before Yuhi Kurenai could even react with surprise, as Huayue stood still, several Root ninjas spread out around her, instantly binding Huayue with dark magic.
What are you doing?
Why treat your companions like this?
"Even the Anbu can't..."
At this moment, the leader of the Anbu Captain shouted a stern rebuke.
"Shut up! Uchiha Huayue is strictly forbidden from participating in the battlefield. Your eye power is too dangerous for the village and the Tailed Beast!"
With the true intentions revealed, the Anbu Captain finally confessed his mission. Huayue shrugged, expressing his helplessness to Yuhi Kurenai and the others who had spoken first.
"Look, that's how it is. If I just go to the battlefield, I can immediately solve the problem of the Nine-Tails. My strength and eye power seem to make the old guys in the village extremely wary, hehehe."
Just then, Yūhi Shin Kurenai sighed deeply and whispered to her daughter.
"This mission is different from war; it's a matter within the village. Although you are a ninja, as your father, I would much rather see you entrust the Will of Fire to your grandson, Kurenai."
Feeling something, Yūhi Shin Kurenai bid her final farewell and turned to head towards the battlefield. Kurenai looked at her father's back and felt that one of the most important people in her life was gradually leaving.
"Why, why did this happen?"
The tears were crystal clear, and the sound lingered in my ears, never fading away.
"Hold him back! Even if it costs us our lives, we cannot let the Nine-Tails advance an inch!"
"Hurry up! There are still villagers behind us who haven't retreated. That damned Nine-Tails!"
In Konoha, at Sarutobi Hiruzen's home, the Fourth Hokage's direct Anbu rushed over, only to find Sarutobi Hiruzen fully armed.
"Sandaime-sama, Nine-Tails..."
"Understood, drive the Nine-Tails out of the village immediately!"
