136 Chapter 136: Nine-Tails Invasion
This guy...
How did he manage to break through the barrier here?
Eyes tightly locked onto the mask-wearing man who appeared out of nowhere, Minato Namikaze gripped a specially crafted trident-style Kunai in his hand. As long as the opponent revealed the slightest opening, he would use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to instantly kill him.
"Impressive, the Yellow Flash..."
"However, I have long abandoned this world. You can't intimidate me."
Feeling the chilling killing intent from Minato Namikaze, the masked man sneered. He instantly threw Naruto, whom he held in his arms, into the air.
As expected, Minato Namikaze, whose reflexes crowned the Shinobi world, used the Body Flicker Jutsu. In an instant, he appeared on the ceiling, saving his child.
"Boom!"
But just as he rescued Naruto and held him into his arms, Minato Namikaze's expression changed. The swaddling clothes around Naruto had been unknowingly affixed with Explosive Tags that had started to detonate.
In the midst of a violent explosion, using the just-born Naruto as a distraction, the masked man finally employed the "lure the tiger away from the mountain" strategy to temporarily take away Kushina Uzumaki. He successfully extracted the Nine-Tails and controlled it with the Sharingan.
In the bustling central streets of Konoha at night, a vortex-like distortion occurred in the space's center.
The mysterious masked man suddenly appeared here, having quickly utilized space-time Ninjutsu to reach Konoha's center after disengaging from the battle.
"Destroy Konoha, Summoning Jutsu!!!" With a resentful voice, the masked man pressed his hand to the ground, and the Summoning seal instantly unfolded on the ground.
"Roar!!!" Without warning, carrying an aura of destruction, the Nine-Tails appeared out of thin air in the center of Konoha.
At the Uchiha Clan's territory at this moment.
"Really... Mom and Dad actually went out at this time." Young Itachi Uchiha sat at home, holding the unsettled and crying Sasuke in his arms.
"Don't cry, Sasuke, be good... Big brother will always be with you."
....
"Boom!!!" Suddenly, a loud noise echoed from the center of the Konoha Ninja Village.
Accompanied by a mighty beast's roar, flames soared into the night sky above Konoha in an instant!
"What is this..."
"The Nine-Tails incident couldn't possibly be happening tonight, could it?!" Yu, who had just finished training and returned to the village, saw the colossal figure that appeared out of nowhere in the center of Konoha.
Witnessing this scene, Yu immediately thought of the possibility of the Nine-Tails incident happening this year, but he couldn't pinpoint the exact time, let alone tonight.
"But then again, to be able to do something like this right under the nose of the Yellow Flash..."
"Uchiha Obito, the former underachiever, has truly grown remarkably under the guidance of Uchiha Madara..."
Gazing at the world before him, ablaze with towering flames, Yu muttered to himself. However, his feet didn't hesitate; he immediately activated the Body Flicker Jutsu, swiftly rushing towards the chaotic center of Konoha.
Although the Konoha Orphanage is situated on the outskirts of the Konoha village and is unlikely to suffer damage from the Nine-Tails invasion, Yu needs to ensure the safety of Yugao and others in the central part of Konoha.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The resounding alarm echoed throughout Konoha, prompting all the ninjas to urgently evacuate the village's elderly and children to underground shelters.
"Where are you going?!" At the center of Konoha village, young ninjas like Kakashi, Might Guy, and Kurenai were eager to join the battle, but they were intercepted by Kurenai's father, Jonin instructor Yuhi Shinku.
"You all stay here!"
"Young ninjas are not allowed to participate in this battle. This is the command of Third Hokage-sama!" Yuhi Shinku sternly declared, accompanied by two other Konoha ninjas.
"But everyone is in the fight. Are we just supposed to do nothing?"
Kurenai urgently protested, not seeing Yu's figure in the chaotic crowd, her inner anxiety growing.
"This is an internal village battle. There's no need for the younger generation of ninjas like you to intervene. There will be wars involving you with the village in the future," Yuhi Shinku spoke. He looked at his daughter, though his expression remained stern and strict, his gaze couldn't hide the affectionate fatherly love. "As a ninja, life may not be long, but at least after giving birth to my grandson, entrust the will of fire to him."
"Dad..."
Hearing her father's words, the young girl Kurenai widened her eyes. She had never seen this tender side of her usually stern father before.
"Captain Yuhi! Be careful!"
But at this moment, the two Konoha ninjas behind Yuhi Shinku suddenly exclaimed loudly.
"Roar!"
A furious roar echoed, and everyone in the center of the village watched as the Nine-Tails demon fox, wreaking havoc, suddenly swung its nine tails. All present felt a massive shadow looming overhead.
"Oh no!!"
Seeing the Nine-Tails' tail slamming down from above, Yuhi Shinku felt a shock in his heart. Instinctively, he positioned himself in front of his daughter and the group of young Konoha ninjas.
"Dad!!"
Watching her father, Yuhi Shinku, about to be crushed under the Nine-Tails' tail, the young girl Kurenai couldn't help but scream.
"Making a ruckus like this in the middle of the night... Are you trying to keep everyone from sleeping?"
At this critical moment, a nonchalant voice suddenly reached everyone's ears.
"Ice Block: Pheasant Beak!!"
Along with the speaker's words, a tremendously dazzling white ice bird suddenly condensed in the air and fiercely charged towards the rampaging Nine-Tails!
"Bang!"
The colossal ice bird exploded, and the terrifying power of ice congealed a thick layer of ice armor on the Nine-Tails. The intense pain made the already enraged Nine-Tails even more frenzied.
"Yu?!"
At this moment, everyone looked up and saw a handsome young man with white hair and black clothing standing above them. It was unclear when he had appeared, stepping on an invisible thread, and a puppet followed behind him.
"That's great!!"
"Thank you, Yu!!"
Seeing Yu intervene and injure the Nine-Tails, saving her father Yuhi Shinku, the young girl Kurenai exclaimed excitedly.
"No need to thank me, Kurenai-Nee..."
"After all, Yuhi-sensei was my homeroom teacher back in the Academy. It's only natural," Yu responded, seeing Kurenai's excited expression. After all, Yuhi Shinku had treated him well during his time at the Academy, and now, intervening to change his fate of being killed by the Nine-Tails in the anime seemed appropriate.
"Thanks, Yu."
Unexpectedly, the one who came to his aid was once his most promising student in the Academy.
Feeling Yu's current strength and status, Yuhi Shinku expressed gratitude with a somewhat complex look in his eyes.
"Roar!!!"
Before there was time to exchange words with everyone, the angry roar echoed once again.
Enraged by Yu's attack, the furious Nine-Tails opened its massive mouth. A colossal black Chakra sphere continuously condensed within its mouth, and in the blink of an eye, it unleashed with a power capable of annihilating everything in its path.
