"These eyes..." The Nine-Tails glared furiously at the one-eyed spiral masked man and roared, "Damn Uchiha..."
However...
Before it could finish speaking, its crimson eyes directly transformed to become the same as the eyes of the mysterious masked man before it...
Mangekyō Sharingan!!!
"Time is running out." Uchiha Fugaku lowered his head to look at the blonde woman lying on the delivery table, glanced at the wailing blonde infant beside her, sighed, walked to the blonde woman's side, took out a syringe filled with green liquid, inserted it into her arm, and said plainly, "Sorry! The rest depends on your luck."
Then...
He directly kicked aside the two middle-aged women lying on the ground...
A cold expression on his face, he murmured, "Just a little more time, I just need a little more time!"
"Jun...殿下!" (...sama!)
...
"What is going on?" Uzumaki Jun stared blankly at the Nine-Tails running amok, then turned back, squinting his eyes at Black Zetsu, who was avoiding his gaze, and said, "Do you know?"
And those eyes, that Mangekyō pattern, didn't only Uchiha Fugau have it?
But wasn't he currently serving as the bureau chief in the Land of Whirlpools?
And as for himself...
He was currently doing ideological work with the child!
He simply had no time to mess with the Nine-Tails~
"Haha," Black Zetsu scratched his head, averted his eyes, and said cautiously, "You should know."
"..."
So it really is Fugau...
Uzumaki Jun sighed inwardly, looked at Black Zetsu, and said, "Are you pulling the strings behind the scenes again?"
He was well aware of the hatred in Fugau's heart. He originally thought that after getting married and having children, under the influence of the 'red' ideology, the hatred in his heart would calm down, but he never expected that now...
He actually chose to come to Konoha alone to confront them head-on!
"No!" Black Zetsu quickly shook his head, with a firm expression, said, "This time he acted on his own privately."
I feel wronged too!
If it weren't for wanting to see what that Uchiha Fugau came to Konoha to do...
Now...
Why would I have run into you?
Although he also deeply wished for the shinobi world to be destroyed and for Mother to be rescued easily by him, but...
Black Zetsu glanced at Uzumaki Jun, who was frowning in thought...
His heart was instantly filled with bitterness...
There was no chance now.
"Good." Hearing Black Zetsu's words, Uzumaki Jun nodded with satisfaction, patted Black Zetsu's shoulder, and said, "Although your childhood was miserable, you can't spend all day thinking about taking revenge on the shinobi world!"
It was all his fault for not teaching him properly back then...
"There are many ways to achieve your goals!"
"..."
Stop talking, Jun-sama. If you really have something you need me to do, just say it directly!
This peptalk and this expression...
It's making me sick!!!
"Does Jun-sama have any orders?" Black Zetsu put on a fawning expression, looking at Uzumaki Jun, who was frowning while staring at the Nine-Tails, and said with an ingratiating smile, "Please feel free to command this humble one."
Now...
He just wanted to get away from this somewhat strange Daimyō of the Land of Whirlpools. It wasn't that he felt afraid in his heart, but...
For the sake of his great mission, for Mother, he had to endure the grief in his heart and continue to live on in obscurity~
"Are you really that unwilling to see me?" Uzumaki Jun looked quietly at Black Zetsu, his face wearing a disappointed and hurt expression, shook his head, sighed, and said, "What's wrong with keeping me company a little longer?"
"..."
I, damn it...
Black Zetsu took a deep breath, quickly forced out that smile again, gritted his teeth and said, "Fine!!!"
If I couldn't beat you, I'd send you to the Pure Land right now!
Bastard!
What's going on today?
Or rather...
What exactly did this Land of Whirlpools Daimyō experience in the Dragon Vein?
Why is he so strange?
It's making my heart panic!!!
...
"Damn it!" Hashirama widened his eyes, staring at Konoha engulfed in flames not far away, and roared, "Madara, what are you doing?"
"..."
I damn well want to know what you're thinking?!
Madara coldly glanced at Hashirama and said, "I'm still right here, you idiot!"
If the Mangekyō Sharingan could control things remotely...
He would have conquered the shinobi world long ago!!!
"Oh, right!" Hashirama came to his senses, patted his head, and said, "We've only just caught sight of the village." He turned his head, a simple-minded, happy smile on his face, looking at Madara, "I told you not to keep such a dangerous pet, and now look, it's been let out again."
"..."
This idiot!
Uchiha Madara looked at Hashirama with displeasure and said, "Aren't you worried about the danger to the village?"
"Can that thing even kill people?" Hashirama waved his hand dismissively and said casually, "I believe Saru can definitely handle it!"
Besides, they were almost at Konoha, they could just deal with it when they got there.
"Idiot!" Uchiha Madara, hearing Hashirama's words, fell silent for a moment, then said flatly, "Konoha still has ordinary people! And also..." He looked at Hashirama with a mocking smile, "If a Jinchūriki loses their Tailed Beast and it isn't sealed back quickly, they will die."
At that time...
You might not get to see your daughter for the last time.
"I..." Hearing Uchiha Madara's words, Hashirama's face instantly turned pale, he quickly snapped back to reality, said anxiously, "We have to hurry, otherwise, many people in Konoha will surely die."
He turned his head again and looked at Uchiha Madara reproachfully, "I told you keeping the Nine-Tails as a pet was too dangerous."
Daughter!
Even though we're not related by blood, whether I can proudly shout in front of Madara, 'Madara, you lose!', depends on you!
Then...
He directly started sprinting towards Konoha...
And behind him, Uchiha Madara...
Shook his head helplessly and followed behind, though he also felt puzzled in his heart...
Who released the Nine-Tails in the village?
Although it was indeed the watchdog he raised, but...
For a bunch of trash, the Nine-Tails wasn't something easily dealt with!
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, his gaze coldly fixed on Konoha, he murmured, "It seems tonight's events will be even more exciting than I imagined!"
...
Konoha...
Everyone looked in terror at the monster with crimson eyes and nine tails...
Especially as they felt the surrounding houses continuously collapsing, flames and wails of despair echoing throughout Konoha.
Their hearts grew even more fearful!
People around them kept falling down, collapsing, and then...
Never getting up again...
"Monster!"
Everyone who saw this scene let out cries of terror and despair!
Just as they were panicking, running around everywhere, trying to hide...
"Quickly, evacuate the villagers in the surrounding area."
A voice, steady, urgent, angry, and familiar to them, came through...
"It's Grandpa Third Hokage!"
Some children had already seen the old man standing before them in black training clothes and said happily, "Grandpa Third Hokage is here, he'll definitely defeat the monster, we're safe now."
And the other adults also breathed a sigh of relief, because...
This old man holding a smoking pipe, his face covered with wrinkles, looking somewhat frail, was...
Konoha's strongest Hokage!!!
Everyone believed in him...
He would definitely kill the monster and save Konoha.
"Mangekyō Sharingan?!" The Third Hokage put away his smoking pipe, his eyes fixed on the rampaging Nine-Tails before him, especially the Nine-Tails' eyes. His heart skipped a beat, and he murmured, "Could it be that Uchiha Shin who's been stirring up trouble across the shinobi world?"
But...
What grudge does he have against Konoha?
To actually release the Nine-Tails and let it run wild destroying Konoha?
"Third Hokage-sama, Lady Biwako and Lady Koharu are both fine." An ANBU wearing an animal mask shunshined before Sarutobi Hiruzen and reported respectfully, "But the Fourth Hokage's wife now..." He hesitated, then nodded, with a helpless tone, "Is in critical condition!"
"..."
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, nodded, and said, "I understand, now go assist in evacuating the villagers."
He sighed...
Once a Jinchūriki has their Tailed Beast extracted, their life force dissipates until they die. If the Tailed Beast could be resealed now, they might not die, but right now...
His gaze fixed on the Nine-Tails still wreaking havoc in Konoha, he murmured, "There isn't enough time!"
He turned to look at the ANBU beside him...
"Is the Fourth Hokage still in the Land of Whirlpools?"
"A message has already been sent to Lord Shikazo." The ANBU replied respectfully, "But based on the timing, even if the Fourth Hokage moves at his fastest, he won't arrive until tomorrow at the earliest."
"Is that so?" Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, a determined look appearing in his eyes, and said calmly, "We cannot let this continue any longer."
"Third Hokage-sama, are you planning to..." The ANBU was startled upon hearing this and said, "Can't we just reseal the Tailed Beast directly?"
"That would be too slow." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said, "By then, Konoha would have suffered heavy losses."
And besides...
Konoha absolutely cannot be without the Nine-Tails!
His face filled with emotion and sorrow, he looked at the wailing villagers around him...
"As Konoha's Third Hokage, I..."
Although he had long since retired to the background...
"I must do this!"
With an expression of self-sacrifice, amidst a chorus of admiring and sorrowful cries from those around him, he charged resolutely towards the Nine-Tails, shouting loudly, "Where the leaves flutter, the fire also burns endlessly. The fire's light will continue to illuminate the village and allow new growth to..."
However, before he could finish speaking...
A one-eyed Mangekyō Sharingan suddenly appeared on the Nine-Tails' head, gazing calmly at him...
"Third Hokage-sama..."
"It really has been a long time!!!"
