Chapter 6 The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox Attack 02 (Limited. Tsukuyomi Ed.)
Just Few Minutes Ago
In just the blink of an eye, Konoha, which was originally quiet and peaceful, turned into hell.
The buildings that were knocked into the air by Kyuubi's huge sharp claws, and the residents who frantically running around were quickly crushed to death by the aforementioned buildings that fell from the sky. For a while, the cries of people on the verge of death were filled everywhere in Konoha.
Under the chilling moonlight, the gigantic monster that had been sealed for dozens of years uttered a howl that could pierce the clouded sky. A dark energy ball slowly gathered in its huge mouth looked ominously dangerous and powerful, was blasted in front of the eyes of ninjas who came to defended the Kyuubi's attacks.
Seeing that Hokage Rock, which symbolized the village itself, was about to be razed to the ground. Kizashi, who arrived at the same time as the Third hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, suddenly shouted.
"Do it! Minato!"
"Roger that!" As the figure appeared on the head of Fourth Hokage's statue in a flash, the young man suddenly threw several Kunais at the Tailed-Beast bomb that was flying towards this direction. Right before the moment Kunais was about clashed with the attack, he used Flying Thunder God and successfully transferred the Tailed-Beast bomb to the arranged point outside Konoha Village in case anything happened. Therefore, in order to keep the attack as far away from the village and residents as possible, Minato chose the westernmost teleportation point.
Accompanied by the powerful shock of the land, the Tailed-Beast bomb dropped to the ground and created a horrifying yet also spectacular-looking black mushroom cloud in the process.
"Uwoh—! Look! That has to be Minato-sensei!" Inside this village of chaos and scream, unlike many other residents who were either gasping for air or running for life. Hatake Kakashi, whose eyes were staring straight at the scene, completely ignoring the people around him and excitedly shook his friend—Might Guy's shoulders like crazy. "That's the Yellow Flash of Konoha! Hey! Did you see that! Guy! Minato-sensei is really amazing! As expected of the man who almost became the Fourth Hokage!"
"Uh... I feel like I'm going to die... Ugh—" On the other hand, Guy looks like his soul was trying to escape through his mouth, though at last the thing actually came out was not his soul but some mysterious substance that instantly scared Kakashi away.
"Eww! That's gross! This is SO gross! Guy! At least don't puke this way!" Almost let go of his hand reflexly, the white haired teen escaped the scene despite being the one who started it. "I'm going to help others! You better hurry up and follow up!"
After that, Kakashi completely ignored the hand of his best friend, and proceed to jumped into the center of the chaos as he speaks.
"So, do you have any plan? Kizashi." The retired third hokage—Sarutobi Hiruzen asked the man beside him solemnly.
"Yes. After all, I can't just leave everything to Minato." Haruno Kizashi smirked at the old man. Then the next order he gave was towards the reinforcements who gathered around him.
"Fugaku, I need you to select a few trustworthy men and come with me. And the rest of the police-force members shall be responsible for the evacuation of nearby citizens. Hiruzen-sama, I entrust you with the command, is that okay with you?"
"Leave it to me. But are you sure it's enough? And what about the candidate of next Nine-tails' Jinchuriki?"
Hiruzen pondered for a moment and agreed with the man's decision, however, when he mentioned the following question, the retired hokage subconsciously glanced at Namikaze Minato who was still standing on Hokage Rock.
Kizashi frowned as if he could understand what the Lord Third trying to imply, but he immediately rejected the suggestion.
"No! Kushina just gave birth not too long ago, she is in the weakest state for now. This means she is not capable of being the next Jinchuriki. Also, as a close friend of Minato, I cannot tolerate this kind of behaviour. That issue can wait after we subdue the Nine-tails."
"...I see." Though he didn't say it loud, Hiruzen was still surprised by his successor's perceptiveness. "You are the hokage now, so naturally you should be the one who makes the hard decision. In that case, Fugaku and others, please be careful."
"Understood, Hiruzen-sama." Behind the two, Uchiha Fugaku had already selected 4 clansmen he trusted the most. First, he nodded at the old man and then followed Haruno Kizashi rushing towards the direction where Kyuubi was raging on.
"Fugaku! I heard that the Uchiha's Sharingan can control the tailed-beasts. Is that true?"
Along the way, Kizashi suddenly asked the current head of Uchiha a question.
"Yes, it's true. The First Leader of Uchiha clan personally tested it after temporarily left the village and captured Nine-tails successfully. However, the problem is that was during the early days of the Konoha founding period along with the First Hokage—Senju Hashirama-sama. To be honest, I'm not confident enough to say I can do it. After all, it is said that the First's strength was way beyond normal standards in every regard."
Without any hesitation, Uchiha Fugaku admitted honestly.
"It's okay if it doesn't work, give it a try. If it can temporarily stop that monster's destruction it's good in my book."
"Understood!"
"...So the reinforcements are coming..." Looking at Kizashi, Fugaku and the others rushing towards this direction. Minato wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then proceed to jumped off from the Hokage Rock. Quickly twisting his body, the blond man threw a kunai in mid-air to the Nine Tails's direction. Soon, his figure disappeared in the dim light. Like competing in a relay race, the thrown Kunai also had the markings of Flying Thunder God written on it. As the second Minato was teleported there, he kept doing the same thing until he finally reached Kyuubi's location.
Due to the amazing speed of Flying Thunder God, Minato, who was the farthest away, was the first one to arrive.
So when the giant monster found out his first "prey", it immediately recalled that it was this man who sent its Tailed-Beast bomb outside the village. Angered by the dicovery, Kyuubi raised its claws immediately without thinking whether the attacks even reached the target.
'This monster must be kept away from the village... away from Kushina and Menma.' Landing on the rocks and debris flying all over the sky in order to dodge every attack, Minato's brow frowned even more. 'The problem is that even I can sent the big guy outside Konoha, it's still not enough, in order to protect the village I will have to...'
While he was thinking about how to countermeasures the Nine-tails, the rogue beast, who was destroying everything around it at will, suddenly stopped moving.
"!? What happened?"
Eyes widened in surprise, Minato saw the bloodthirsty pupils of the beast began to change, and gradually turned into something he could recognize.
"Minato! Are you okay?" Turning his attention to the familiar voice, what Minato saw was Uchiha Fugaku's Sharingan's gleam of crimson.
"Fugaku, and Kizashi, you guys are here too. So that must be..."
"Thanks to Fugaku, we have some spare time. Hurry up, Minato! Use your Flying Thunder God to move us to the outside of village." Haruno Kizashi ran to his friend's side and ordered him with a serious tone. Understanding that there is no time to waste Minato nodded solemnly. While he put his right hand on the frozen body of Kyuubi, he also reaching out to the six people ran towards him.
"Everyone, please get a hold of me."
In the next second, the colossal monster that caused countless people's nightmares disappeared under the blazing night sky.
