Seeing the Fourth Hokage suddenly make a move, everyone present was a bit stunned.
Especially Kakashi and Might Guy, two people who were quite familiar with the Fourth Hokage.
Seeing over forty people lying on the ground, and all that blood, Might Guy's expression immediately became extremely serious.
"Who exactly are you? Why are you impersonating the Fourth Hokage!"
Hearing Might Guy's question, the others also looked at Minato Namikaze.
The Fourth Hokage was a hero of Konoha, and he would never casually kill innocent villagers!
Minato Namikaze looked at Might Guy.
"I am the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze!"
"As for why I killed these villagers! Kakashi, you should know, right?"
Everyone heard this and all turned their attention to Kakashi.
Kakashi looked at the serious-faced Minato Namikaze, then glanced at Naruto out of the corner of his eye, nodded, and said, "I know!"
"Because the Fourth Hokage is Naruto's father!"
As soon as Kakashi spoke, the scene immediately became extremely quiet.
At this moment, they finally understood why the Fourth Hokage had taken action and killed people!
Nothing else, just to stand up for his son.
All the villagers also calmed down.
What were they about to do? They were going to tie up the Fourth Hokage's son and burn him to death.
Although they knew the Fourth Hokage had a reason to act, many people were still indignant; after all, those were the lives of forty villagers.
Just as someone was about to step forward and accuse him, another roar from the Nine-Tailed echoed through the sky.
It was then that they remembered that they were still fleeing for their lives!
The lives of those forty people were none of their business; their own escape was more important.
All the villagers put down the makeshift weapons they had picked up and immediately ran towards the outskirts of Konoha Village, intending to get as far away from the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox as possible.
After everyone left, only Minato Namikaze, Naruto, Kakashi, Might Guy, and Shoyo Hinata remained.
"Sensei..." Kakashi's exposed eye was a little red as he looked at Minato Namikaze.
Minato Namikaze came in front of Kakashi and embraced him, saying, "Kakashi, I know your feelings! You don't need to blame yourself for Naruto's situation! All of this is my responsibility!"
"Now that I'm back, I won't let tragedy continue to happen!"
On the other side.
Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi led a group of Anbu, as well as elites from various Konoha clans, to gather and prepare to subjugate the Nine-Tailed!
"Lord Third... the Nine-Tailed has appeared, so has Uzumaki Naruto met with trouble?"
At this moment, Hyuga Hiashi asked with a serious tone.
Hyuga Hiashi also paid attention to Uzumaki Naruto.
The reason for his attention was not because Uzumaki Naruto was the son of the Fourth Hokage, as the Fourth Hokage was already dead.
The reason for his attention was still because of his own daughter, Hinata.
Hinata's personality had become much more cheerful recently, and she no longer felt so timid when facing her father; instead, she could communicate normally!
Hinata also frequently mentioned Naruto's name.
And the only time Hinata ever talked back to Hyuga Hiashi was because of Naruto.
The reason was that to avoid bringing trouble to the Hyuga Clan, she was not allowed to get too close to Naruto! It was because of this incident that Hinata talked back to her father, whom she had always feared!
Hyuga Hiashi was very happy to discover the change in his daughter's personality, as the daughter of the main family absolutely could not show any timidity.
Hearing Hyuga Hiashi's question, the Third Hokage nodded and said, "Something must have happened. As for what exactly happened, I've already sent people to investigate!"
Just as the Third Hokage's words fell, Danzo arrived with his Root Ninja.
"Hiruzen, what exactly is going on? Why did the Nine-Tailed appear?"
Hearing his old friend's voice, the Third Hokage was very helpless.
"I... I don't know either!"
"Hmph!" Danzo snorted and said, "Hiruzen, I told you, you would regret it! Once the Nine-Tailed situation is resolved, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki must be handed over to me for safekeeping!"
The Third Hokage did not refute Danzo's words, not because he agreed, but because he needed Danzo and his Root here.
"Alright... let's deal with the Nine-Tailed problem first!"
Just then, Nara Shikaku, the representative of Ino–Shika–Chō, walked over and began to mediate.
Everyone heard this and also looked at Nara Shikaku.
"Shikaku, have you discovered something?"
The Third Hokage asked with some doubt.
"Yes..." Nara Shikaku nodded, then pointed at the Nine-Tailed, which was wantonly destroying things, and said, "Don't you think this Nine-Tailed is a bit off?"
Hearing Shikaku's words, everyone looked towards the Nine-Tailed.
"Eh? Now that Shikaku mentions it, I also noticed something strange about this Nine-Tailed..."
"Yeah... why is it always destroying houses there?"
"And it doesn't seem to have moved much!"
"Hmm!" Shikaku nodded and said, "I think... this time's Nine-Tailed, like last time, is also being controlled by someone! The purpose should be to attract our attention, as for the real purpose of the mastermind, it remains unknown!"
After hearing Shikaku's analysis, the Third Hokage's expression immediately darkened.
He didn't even need to think to know that this matter must be the work of the other Four Great Shinobi Villages.
Thinking of this, the Third Hokage immediately looked at Danzo.
Danzo and the Third Hokage could be said to have a tacit understanding.
Upon seeing the Third Hokage's gaze, Danzo immediately said, "I will immediately have Root monitor the area around the Land of Fire!"
"Hmm!" The Third Hokage nodded and continued, "We here should still deal with the Nine-Tailed situation!"
"Although we don't know who is controlling the Nine-Tailed... we must resolve it as quickly as possible!"
With that, the Third Hokage directly summoned Enma.
After Enma appeared, he immediately saw the Nine-Tailed.
"Hiruzen... why is the Nine-Tailed out again?"
"Never mind that, let's seal it first!"
Hearing the Third Hokage's words, Enma also knew that now was not the time for excessive talking; he directly transformed into the Adamantine Staff.
The Third Hokage, holding the Adamantine Staff, charged towards the Nine-Tailed, leading the way.
The other Ninja also followed suit.
Because it was the second Nine-Tailed incident, most of the clan Ninja had experience in how to cooperate and how to launch effective attacks against the Nine-Tailed.
