I've Signed in Naruto and Konoha Village for Ten Years
Chapter 36
The scene quickly spiraled out of control.
That's right—
It was completely out of control.
If it were just another enemy attacking Konoha, the village wouldn't panic too much. After all, Konoha was the number one shinobi village in the entire ninja world.
But now...
The legendary Nine-Tails had appeared.
This was already far beyond what most civilians—and even many of the shinobi—could mentally withstand. Chaos broke out across the village.
"Quick! Inform Hokage-sama!"
"The Nine-Tails has appeared! Start evacuating the civilians immediately!"
"Damn it, we have to stop the Nine-Tails...!"
...
At this critical moment, the Konoha Anbu, after a brief moment of confusion, were the first to react. They swiftly divided into three groups—one to stall the Nine-Tails, one to evacuate the civilians, and the last to rush to report to the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
There was no doubt—
These Anbu were Sarutobi Hiruzen's loyal subordinates.
At such a crucial time, they cast off all disguises and immediately sought out their true leader. As for the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze?
Sorry, but their loyalty had never truly been his.
However...
The rampage of the Nine-Tails—
Sarutobi Hiruzen had long since noticed it.
He wasn't a fool. Standing atop a rooftop belonging to the Sarutobi clan, he could immediately see the Nine-Tails wreaking havoc in Konoha Village.
"Damn it! How did the Nine-Tails escape?!"
Hiruzen's expression turned terribly grim.
He clearly remembered—today was the day Kushina Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, was giving birth. Minato had made extensive preparations to prevent anything from going wrong.
And yet now—
Something had clearly gone terribly wrong.
"Wait... the Nine-Tails seems to be under control by a Sharingan?"
Suddenly, Sarutobi Hiruzen's sharp eyes caught a crucial detail, and his face became even darker, twisted in shock.
Sharingan?
The Uchiha clan?!
What were they planning?
A storm raged in Hiruzen's heart. His mind was spinning wildly, unable to calm down.
But a few seconds later—
He seemed to realize something, and his expression became uncertain.
The Uchiha didn't have to be the ones behind this.
Still, whether they were involved or not, this chaos was an opportunity for him. After all, Minato's influence had grown too strong. Now was the perfect time to put his so-called "Will of Fire" to the test.
> Where the leaves dance, the fire burns. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and allow new leaves to grow.
"Minato... I'll be watching closely."
A rare light of anticipation flickered in Hiruzen's usually cold eyes as he stared at the rampaging Nine-Tails.
Swish—Swish—
At that moment, the sound of swift movement filled the air.
More than twenty elite Anbu members arrived, kneeling respectfully behind Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"You all stay put for now," Hiruzen ordered coldly. "Let Minato's men be the first to die."
His voice was emotionless.
"Pass down the order—evacuate the civilians and the young children. As for Danzō and Root, send them to the Konoha Military Police Force and block the Uchiha from mobilizing."
"Understood."
One of the leading Anbu nodded respectfully.
In the next instant, the more than twenty Anbu disappeared without a trace, each moving to carry out Hiruzen's commands.
"The Uchiha clan... don't blame me for this. Even if you're innocent, you'll be the scapegoat this time."
Whoosh—
Sarutobi Hiruzen, without hesitation, leapt toward the raging Nine-Tails.
It was time to "lead by example."
At the same time—
The first wave of Anbu had already reached the Nine-Tails.
Facing the giant beast, they felt an overwhelming fear deep in their hearts.
But still... they attacked.
Unfortunately, no matter if it was ninjutsu, kunai, explosive tags—none of it made the slightest dent.
With a single fierce swipe of its claws, the Nine-Tails sent dozens of Konoha shinobi flying. Their bodies slammed heavily into the ground, the impact shaking the earth itself.
As for their attacks—
When they hit the Nine-Tails, it was like scratching an itch.
"Urgh—!"
Those Anbu who crashed onto the ground coughed up blood. Some were dead, some barely alive.
The gap in strength was simply too vast.
Facing the terrifying Nine-Tails, they were helpless—like ants before a storm.
"ROAR!!!"
The Nine-Tails continued to rage, roaring as it unleashed devastation upon Konoha.
However—
Crack—Crack—
Suddenly, an eerie sound echoed through the air.
In full view of everyone—
The rampaging Nine-Tails abruptly froze.
Around its massive body, the very air seemed to shatter, forming visible cracks that spread outward.
