"Hey, Kurama, shouldn't we move? It looks like most of the people over there have evacuated!"
Hearing Naruto, Kurama lazily said, "I don't care! Do whatever you want! Anyway, I'm just a support character; the real show still needs to be performed by you and Minato Namikaze!"
Naruto: ...
Just as Naruto was about to head to another battlefield, a huge staff descended from the sky, aiming for his head.
With a whistling wind, the staff solidly struck Naruto's head, who was in his Nine-Tailed form.
"Holy crap!"
Naruto cursed.
The Third Hokage, who had just swung the staff, was also stunned to hear this "Holy crap," thinking, "The Nine-Tailed can actually curse now?"
However, now was not the time to be stunned, because two elders of the Akimichi Clan had already used the Multi-Size Technique to rush towards the Nine-Tailed.
Other Ninja also used their respective signature Ninjutsu to attack the Nine-Tailed.
Naruto was attacked by various flashy Ninjutsu, feeling like he was getting a massage in his previous life.
Of course, this massage wasn't from a young lady, but a blind person's massage.
A young lady's massage is comfortable while it's happening, given their slender arms and legs.
A blind person's massage, however, is incredibly painful while it's happening, but incredibly refreshing afterwards.
Naruto, after being subjected to a barrage of 'massage' attacks, let out an angry roar.
Just as he was about to counterattack, he stopped himself. If he struck with his claw, many Ninja would likely die.
These would all be his father's subordinates in the future.
Destroyed houses could be rebuilt, and with Grey Wolf around, even better ones could be constructed!
But if people died, that would be a different story.
So, Naruto could only try his best to defend now.
"Dad, why aren't you here yet! If you don't come soon, I'm going to make my move!"
As for what Minato Namikaze was doing at this time?
After leaving Clone Naruto and Kakashi, he didn't immediately reveal himself to solve the Nine-Tailed problem in public. Instead, he went to find the current Konoha higher-ups.
He planned to use the chaos to deal with the current Konoha higher-ups.
This included Utatane Koharu, Homura Mitokado, Danzo Shimura, and other members of the elder Council of Elders.
After dealing with them during the chaos, when he and Naruto performed their act later, he would have Naruto fire a few Tailed Beast Balls at the location of these Council of Elders' bodies. This way, both the killing and the destruction of evidence would be taken care of!
At this point, most of the elders had already been dealt with, leaving only Danzo.
Minato Namikaze hadn't expected... he hadn't expected that old Danzo wouldn't hide this time, but instead chose to stand with the Third Hokage to resist the Nine-Tailed.
After dealing with all the elders, he then used the Summoning Jutsu to summon Gamabunta.
"Hm? Jiraiya, why are you summoning me, the great Gamabunta, in the middle of the night?"
Gamabunta said, clearly annoyed.
"Oh, Gamabunta, your temper is still as fiery as ever!"
Hearing this voice, Gamabunta frowned, then he saw Minato Namikaze greeting him.
Seeing Minato Namikaze, Gamabunta's pipe dropped from his mouth.
"Mi-Minato? Aren't you dead?"
Minato Namikaze: ...
"I'll tell you about that later. First, come with me to deal with the Nine-Tailed problem!"
With that, Minato Namikaze jumped onto Gamabunta's head.
Once on Gamabunta's head, Minato Namikaze smiled and said, "It's truly a long-lost feeling!"
At the center of the Nine-Tailed battlefield.
Naruto was still taking a beating, but... he had somewhat adapted to the strength of these Ninja now.
Mainly, he had used his Nen Ability to enhance his defenses.
The current force was just right; Naruto actually felt quite comfortable.
Naruto was enjoying himself, but the Konoha Ninja were not.
The Third Hokage, panting, looked at the Nine-Tailed, who occasionally roared at the sky, feeling a bit bitter.
He finally understood how fragile Konoha's foundation truly was.
Most of the high-level combatants had already left.
The Third Hokage and Danzo were old, and the other family elders' strength was only at the Elite Jonin level.
High-level Kage-level combatants like Konoha's Sannin, Minato Namikaze, and White Fang were either gone or dead.
If even one of them were here now, the Nine-Tailed wouldn't be so rampant.
Indeed, in the Third Hokage's eyes, the Nine-Tailed was very rampant. Not only did it fight back while taking a beating, but it would also point a claw at its back, signaling all the Ninja to attack there.
It was as if it had fleas there and wanted everyone to scratch its itch!
It was truly rampant!
Watching the Konoha Ninja continuously attack the Nine-Tailed.
The Third Hokage walked towards the Nine-Tailed with a serious expression.
"Nine-Tailed... you are too dangerous. Even if I sacrifice my old life, I will seal you again!"
With that, the Third Hokage clasped his hands, and then the Shinigami's phantom appeared behind him.
"Everyone, listen to my command! Stop attacking and use every means possible to restrain the Nine-Tailed!"
The Third Hokage issued his final order.
Since there were no Adamantine Sealing Chains to help control the Nine-Tailed, he could only have the Konoha Ninja find a way to control it.
Upon hearing this, the Ninja all used their control techniques.
The Jonin of the Akimichi Clan all used the Multi-Size Technique to control the Nine-Tailed's nine tails.
The Hyuga Clan used the Gentle Fist Art to attack the Nine-Tailed's four legs.
The Inuzuka Clan, in cooperation with their Ninja dogs, used Fang Over Fang to attack the Nine-Tailed's abdomen.
The Nara Clan was not idle either; they simultaneously used the Shadow Imitation Jutsu to restrain the Nine-Tailed.
With the combined efforts of the various Ninja clans, the Nine-Tailed was finally controlled.
Naruto felt the pressure coming from all parts of his body, and he felt that he might have overdone it a bit.
"Hey, Naruto kid, if you don't act now, you're going to be sealed!"
Kurama's voice rang out, with a hint of teasing.
"Tch, I know!"
As he spoke, Naruto's body began to exert force.
Just as Naruto exerted force, the Ninja trying to control him immediately felt the pressure.
Seeing this, the Third Hokage knew that if he didn't act now, he wouldn't get another chance.
Just as he was about to have the Shinigami seal the Nine-Tailed, his mind suddenly went blank, and he directly lost consciousness.
In the last second before he lost consciousness, he saw a pair of blood-red eyes.
At the same time the Third Hokage fainted, the Nine-Tailed also broke free from all restraints.
All the Ninja who had been restraining Naruto coughed up blood and flew backward.
In just this instant, Konoha's combat power was directly reduced by two-thirds.
The remaining one-third of the Ninja looked at the Nine-Tailed with despair.
They finally understood how truly powerful the Fourth Hokage was when he successfully sealed the Nine-Tailed.
The Nine-Tailed was simply not an entity that human power could contend with! It... was simply a natural disaster!
