"Quick! Evacuate the civilians!"
"Konoha's young shinobi too—get them to safety! That's an order from the Third Hokage!"
"Move! Move quickly!"
The shinobi began to evacuate the civilians and younger ninja. At the same time, another group launched attacks on the Nine-Tails. But nothing worked. Their strikes were no more than tickles to the beast. With a single swat of its paw, the Nine-Tails sent them flying like flies.
Boom!
Their efforts were completely futile. Not only were their attacks unable to hurt the Nine-Tails, even when it did take damage, the wounds healed instantly.
"ROAR—!"
The Nine-Tails let out another earth-shaking roar and swept away another squad of ninja.
...
With a flash, Minato and his team appeared atop the Hokage Rock. They looked down at the village, now being ravaged by the rampaging Nine-Tails.
Sensing their arrival, the beast turned toward them. It opened its mouth, red and blue chakra spiraling together to form a massive Tailed Beast Bomb. The orb launched toward them at terrifying speed.
"You're not getting away with this!"
Minato rapidly formed hand seals. Just before the bomb could collide with the Hokage Rock, a space-time barrier appeared, diverting the massive sphere elsewhere.
Far away, an explosion echoed through the mountains. The sudden Tailed Beast Bomb obliterated the entire mountaintop, leveling everything in its path.
...
A black figure appeared suddenly behind Minato. He spun around instantly, slashing his tri-pronged kunai through Obito's body. Kiyosuke, Kakashi, and Shisui struck at the same time.
Obito seized the opening, kicking both Kakashi and Shisui aside. He delivered a devastating kick to Kiyosuke, blasting his body apart in a burst of flame.
Minato attacked again, but Obito remained unaffected. Instead, he grabbed Minato's wrist.
"Kamui!"
His Mangekyō Sharingan flared—he tried to absorb Minato into the Kamui dimension. But just as the warp began, Minato teleported away.
"Tch. Missed again? As expected of the Yellow Flash. Sensei, your speed really is something else… But tell me—why didn't you arrive sooner?!"
He shouted in fury.
The pieces of Kiyosuke's body reformed. Obito jumped back and said coldly,
"I don't have time to waste on you. I'm going to finish off the Fourth Hokage!"
With that, he phased out and sank into the Hokage Rock, disappearing from sight.
...
"Kiyosuke, where's Obito?"
"He ran. Probably went to Minato-sensei's location. Let's leave Obito to him. Shisui, can your Sharingan control the Nine-Tails?"
It was unlikely they could bring Obito back now. They'd need to make long-term plans. Right now, the Nine-Tails was the more urgent threat.
"I can try. Controlling a Tailed Beast though…"
He'd never done something like that before!
"Then let's go. We're the only ones left who might be able to stop it. Kakashi, help with the civilian evacuation. Your strength isn't suited for this kind of fight."
"Got it." Kakashi understood and immediately leapt down from the Hokage Rock.
Kiyosuke grabbed Shisui.
"This might be a little rough—don't freak out."
"Wait, what?! Senpai! What are you doing—?!"
Shisui screamed as Kiyosuke flung him like a cannonball.
Then Kiyosuke followed, shooting forward like a launched projectile.
The two soared through the air, rapidly descending.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Two clones appeared beneath them. They kicked off the feet of their respective clones, launching themselves higher again. Another clone grabbed Shisui and flung him even farther.
Kiyosuke landed smoothly and reached out to catch Shisui.
"S-Senpai… next time, give me a warning!"
"Oh, sure thing."
Kiyosuke laughed and said, "I'll go restrain the Nine-Tails. You figure out a way to break Obito's control with genjutsu—but don't use Kotoamatsukami."
"I got it."
"I'm heading out."
Kiyosuke jumped down and landed beside the recently returned Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Sarutobi-sama, need a hand?"
"What do you think? Of course I do! Stall the Nine-Tails for me—buy us some time!"
"No problem! Fire Fist!"
His entire arm turned into flame. With a mighty swing, he hurled a massive fire punch.
The blazing fist expanded, carrying tremendous heat and impact. It slammed into the Nine-Tails' body and blasted it backward.
"Well done! Summoning Jutsu: Monkey King Enma!"
A tall, white-furred monkey appeared beside Hiruzen. Muscular and clothed in fur-lined armor, he wore a Konoha forehead protector and swung his long white tail behind him.
"The Nine-Tails' seal has been broken, huh?"
"Enma, transform! Help drive it out of Konoha!"
"Right! Transformation!"
Poof!
A massive iron staff dropped into Hiruzen's hands.
"Extend!"
The Adamantine Staff instantly stretched, slamming into the Nine-Tails' belly and forcing it back, pushing it out of the village.
Boom!
The Konoha barrier wall crumbled from the impact. Kiyosuke charged forward as Hiruzen shouted:
"Everyone fall back! Leave the space to Kiyosuke!"
At this point, only Kiyosuke—who had mastered the Ryūchi Cave Senjutsu—could do anything.
...
"Summoning Jutsu!"
A giant black snake appeared. Kiyosuke landed on its head.
"Black Snake, hold the Nine-Tails down! Don't let it escape!"
"Another Tailed Beast, huh? You just don't know how to sit still, do you?"
The snake twisted its body and shot toward the Nine-Tails, binding it tightly in its powerful coils.
"ROAR!!!!"
The Nine-Tails roared and bit into the black snake's body. Its sharp fangs pierced the snake's thick scales, digging deep into its flesh. Blood poured out.
The black snake cried out in pain, recoiling slightly, then bit down hard on one of the Nine-Tails' limbs.
The two titanic beasts grappled with each other. The black snake hissed:
"The Nine-Tails' strength is too overwhelming—I can't hold it much longer!"
A Tailed Beast's power was beyond its control—simply too great.
"I just need time. Hold on! I'm gathering Senjutsu chakra!"
Kiyosuke's body absorbed natural energy at rapid speed.
Meanwhile, Shisui arrived, locking eyes with the Nine-Tails. He cast a powerful genjutsu that pierced into the beast's mind. Blood trickled from his eyes as he grunted in pain—but the Sharingan in the Nine-Tails' eyes vanished.
Obito's illusion was broken.
However, Shisui no longer had the strength to cast another genjutsu to control the Nine-Tails.
A shadow clone appeared, picked him up, and carried him away.
...
"Konoha shinobi—die, all of you!!!"
The Nine-Tails roared in pure rage, venting years of hatred.
Treated as a monster by humans. Used as a tool by Uchiha Madara. Suppressed by the First Hokage. Sealed away in a jinchūriki. And now this.
The hatred within the Nine-Tails exploded. Its fury now far exceeded anything it felt while under Obito's control.
Breaking free of the black snake, it swatted Kiyosuke with a massive claw.
Boom!
Kiyosuke's body exploded on contact. The Nine-Tails trembled as it looked at its paw—charred black and scorched.
...
Countless flames rose up and gathered together.
A towering fifty-meter-tall giant of fire took shape—standing eye to eye with the crouched Nine-Tails.
"Come, Nine-Tails…"
