Chapter 299: Leaf Village: It Hurts, It Hurts So Much!
Chapter 299: Leaf Village: It Hurts, It Hurts So Much!
"You were once a Jinchuriki, let the Nine-Tails send you on your final journey!"
The mysterious figure (Dai To) spoke.
Then, the Nine-Tails he controlled, with one swipe of its claw, struck the stone in the center of the small lake where Uzumaki Kyuhinane, already on the brink of death, was located.
Boom!!
The Nine-Tails turned the small lake into a deep pit with a single swipe.
This was the power of a Tailed Beast! Each move seemed like a natural disaster.
More importantly, this was the 'complete' Nine-Tails.
The Nine-Tails within Prince Minato was only half its power, a geometrically weakened version, so it was not something to be trifled with.
"Hmph, you avoided it!"
The mysterious figure (Dai To) hummed in dissatisfaction, then turned to the side and looked up at the treetop, where Uzumaki Kyuhinane was being held by Fuka Namikaze.
Facing the darkening gaze, the mysterious figure (Dai To) not only showed no fear but felt a sense of satisfaction.
It was your tardiness that led to Rin's... this time, you've also experienced the same pain as I did.
Not far away, Dong Ping's gaze was intensely eager.
"What a magnificent scene!"
He watched as the usually sunny and cheerful Fuka Namikaze wore such an expression, wishing he had a camera to capture the moment.
The nickname 'Leiziren' was not given in vain, as he truly loved watching such scenes.
But Fuka Namikaze did not linger and immediately took his wife away.
"Shouldn't the Jinchuriki die immediately after the Tailed Beast is extracted?"
Uchiha Meika asked Dong Ping.
This was the record in the clan's archives, but what he saw now seemed a bit off.
"No, there's a prerequisite to that: it's only for 'non-Uzumaki' Jinchuriki. If it were a Jinchuriki from the Uzumaki clan with their immense life force, they could buy some time!"
Dong Ping explained.
These were not secrets to time-travelers, but in the Shinobi World where secrecy was prevalent, they were classified intelligence.
"I see, so should we take action now?"
Uchiha Meika looked at the Nine-Tails with an eager gaze, clearly wanting to test her skills against the strongest Tailed Beast.
"No, it's not the right time yet!"
Dong Ping hurriedly stopped her.
The time to act would be after Fuka Namikaze's death.
As long as Fuka Namikaze lived, the village would not give up on annexing the Heavenly Fortress.
Without the powerful Fourth Hokage, the village would not dare to be aggressive, giving them time and opportunities to develop.
Once the Heavenly Fortress grew strong enough, it could swallow up the Leaf Village, replace it, and then sweep through the Shinobi World, throwing the Otsutsuki clan and all the nobility into the trash heap.
Then he could truly lie back and become a slacker.
The process would undoubtedly be long, but this was his strategic path.
Whoever stood in his way would meet their end!
Now, with Fuka Namikaze blocking the path, he had to be dealt with.
If the other party trusted him, he would find a way to disable their abilities.
But they trusted the Leaf Village ANBU Team more, so the consequences would be on him.
It's not like I'm not going to save you if you don't trust me, right?
That's not reasonable; I'm not your lapdog.
So Dong Ping's current attitude was entirely justified.
Whoosh!
He used Instantaneous Teleportation to rush towards the Leaf Village, as Dai To's destination was the same, eager to witness the spectacle.
With their speed, they would reach the village in less than ten minutes.
But!
When they arrived, they realized they were still a step too late.
Roar!!
Amidst the roar filled with boundless hatred, the Nine-Tails was currently wreaking havoc in the Leaf Village, and it had already gone berserk.
Even from outside the village, one could clearly see the enormous figure of the Nine-Tails amidst the fire, a figure comparable to a hill, which was terrifying just to look at.
Bang!!
With a sweep of its claws, both streets and houses instantly turned into ruins.
Terrible!
It was too terrible!
The entire Leaf Village suffered immense destruction.
Today was the day the villagers of the Leaf Village celebrated their harvest, and in the midst of the festivities, the sudden appearance of the Nine-Tails resulted in a predictable outcome.
In a short time, hundreds or even thousands lost their lives.
Adding to that was the terrible damage to the buildings.
No wonder, after Prince Minato was rumored to be the Demon Fox, all the villagers feared and despised him.
It hurt so much!
Even though they knew he couldn't be the Demon Fox, just being associated with it was enough to make the villagers instinctively hate and despise him.
"Quickly evacuate the civilians!"
"Everyone, take shelter!"
"Save the people first!"
...
One by one, ninjas stepped forward to rescue and evacuate the crowd.
"My youth is burning, and at this moment, it's about to bloom!"
A young man with a bowl-cut hairstyle and thick eyebrows gazed at the enormous Nine-Tails in the distance, feeling not a hint of fear but instead, a surge of battle intent.
"Kai, don't be rash, go save people first!"
Beside him, Kakashi immediately restrained his friend.
The Tailed Beast was not something they could handle.
However, he was deeply concerned about Uzumaki Kyuhinane, the Jinchuriki.
A few minutes later.
A path leading to the Nine-Tails' location.
A gaunt middle-aged man, accompanied by several subordinates, blocked the way for Sunset Red and a group of young ninjas.
"You are not allowed to approach the Nine-Tails. This is an internal village dispute, not an external war, so you are not to engage in combat!"
His name was Sunset Crimson, an elite Jonin of the village and also Sunset Red's father.
On their way, they received an order from the Elder Advisor to stop the village's youth from approaching the Nine-Tails.
The reason for this definition was that everyone had seen the prominent Sharingan in the Nine-Tails' eyes.
Hence, he referred to it as an 'internal village dispute.'
It could be said that from this moment on, the Uchiha's black pot was irredeemable.
If they had been able to forcefully break through the Root Division's interception and wash away suspicion with blood, there might have been a glimmer of hope.
But because of Uchiha Fugaku's indecisiveness and fear of confronting the Root Division, not a single Uchiha appeared, leaving the black pot uncleanable and causing the Uchiha to face even more intense ostracism and hostility than before.
It was under such an atmosphere that rebellious thoughts began to fester.
"Don't say such irresponsible words. We are also Leaf Village ninjas, and we must contribute to protecting the village!"
Sunset Red argued.
At this crucial moment of protecting the village, she couldn't agree to being left out of the battle.
"Calm down, Red!"
Asuka tried to soothe Sunset Red.
Sunset Crimson stared at his daughter's face, using Illusion Technique to convey some words to her, and then he left without turning back to stop the Nine-Tails."
Near the Nine-Tails!
A large number of Leaf Village ninjas were gathering.
"Everyone, distract the Nine-Tails!"
An elite Jonin shouted instructions.
The meaning was clear: to buy time with their lives.
Facing such a monstrous Nine-Tails, ordinary ninjas were indeed insignificant, and they could only use their lives to stall for time.
Whoosh!
Hari, wearing a combat uniform, led a few ninjas.
"Third Hokage!"
The commanding elite Jonin excitedly greeted him.
"What's the situation?"
Hari, already in his combat gear, inquired about the situation.
After listening to the report, his face turned grave as he sighed, "Has something unexpected happened on Fuyuki Namikaze's side?"
He understood Fuyuki Namikaze's personality, and the Nine-Tails' escape meant the situation had become unmanageable.
"Everyone, listen up! We must not let the Nine-Tails take another step forward. Buy time for my jutsu!"
Hari ordered as he bit his finger and began forming hand seals.
"Summoning Jutsu, Monkey King, Ape Demon!"
He slapped the ground with both hands.
Bang!
A white mist spread, and a white giant ape wearing a tiger-skin skirt appeared.
"Has the Nine-Tails' seal been released?"
The giant ape sensed the rampaging Nine-Tails not far away.
"Ape Demon, now is not the time for explanations. Transform into the Golden Monkey Staff!"
Hari commanded.
"Understood, transforming!"
The Ape Demon began transforming without further words.
Bang!
A massive metal staff appeared in the Third Hokage's embrace.
At that moment, the Nine-Tails suddenly turned its head towards the Shadow Cliff on the side and opened its mouth.
Blue and purple-black chakra converged into a spherical shape within its mouth.
A Tailed Beast Ball, several meters in diameter, was launched by the Nine-Tails towards the Shadow Cliff.
