Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Chapter 173 The Night of the Nine-Tailed Fox, Chaos

The Land of Fire in the Naruto world.

Uchiha Yao woke up and muttered about how unreliable he was last night.

The new recruits at the Star Palace are becoming increasingly problematic; one even started fighting right there in the palace. I wonder what kind of rags-to-riches duo will appear next.

At that moment, Uchiha Yao, with his keen senses, discovered the Konoha area, and then a strange disturbance was heard.

High-intensity chakra fluctuations.

"Could it be...?"

Sensing the unusual movement, a thought arose in Uchiha Yao's mind. His eyes flashed slightly as he looked towards Konoha, and then his figure disappeared from the spot.

"Interesting, they've really come. Let's get started."

……

The moonlight tonight should have been clear and cool, covering the rooftops and streets with leaves.

However, the silver light was shrouded in an inexplicable gloom, becoming dim and cold.

Suddenly, the birds in the forest cried out in unison, flapping their wings and crashing into the night sky, driven by an invisible fear.

The beasts on the ground pawed at the soil restlessly, and wild rabbits and deer rushed out of the jungle like madmen, fleeing in the direction far away from the village.

Even the normally docile family dog ​​barked wildly at the night sky, its voice trembling.

Mette Kai, who was patrolling the edge of the village, suddenly stopped. His green bodysuit drew a clean arc in the moonlight.

His brows were furrowed, his hands were clenched into fists at his sides, and the veins on his forehead were slightly bulging.

"This chakra...something's wrong!"

The intense, ominous aura, carrying a destructive ferocity, sent chills down his spine.

Kakashi Hatake, standing beside him, pushed up his slipping headband, and his Sharingan subtly began to turn.

The crimson tomoe spun rapidly in his pupils, capturing the blurry outline of that massive chakra.

"It's a tailed beast."

"Nine-Tails..."

The two exchanged a glance and instantly sped up, running towards the center of the village, their footsteps sounding particularly hurried in the quiet night.

Meanwhile, in a secret valley west of Konoha, Obito Uchiha was shrouded in shadow.

With one eye closed, the other crimson Sharingan gleamed eerily in the darkness, the tomoe within its pupil spinning rapidly, releasing an invisible mental shackle.

In the center of the valley, the enormous body of the Nine-Tails appeared in the world, its entire body wrapped in massive chakra.

His once clear golden eyes were now stained with blood, turning them into a ferocious and bloodthirsty sight.

"Roar—!" The Nine-Tails roared deafeningly, causing the mountain to tremble and rocks to fall. Its limbs frantically dug at the ground, leaving deep ravines with each stomp. It was clear that it had been completely controlled by the power of the Sharingan and had become a tool of destruction.

Inside the makeshift camp deep in the valley, the stench of blood mingled with the scent of herbs, filling the cramped space. Uzumaki Mio, still recovering from childbirth, lay weakly on a straw mat, her long, silvery-white hair soaked with sweat and clinging to her pale cheeks. Her breathing was shallow, her chest heaving violently; her once vibrant chakra was rapidly draining away—the excruciating pain of the tailed beast's detachment had nearly destroyed her body; each breath was like a tearing agony in her internal organs. Her vision was blurred, yet she stared intently at the tent entrance, her chapped lips moving slightly as she murmured, "Minato… Naruto…" The newborn baby slept soundly in swaddling clothes beside her, its pink face wrinkled, seemingly sensing its mother's pain and the surrounding danger. As a member of the Uzumaki clan, she originally possessed a strong vitality, but the trauma of being separated from the Tailed Beast was too fatal. She could clearly feel her life slipping away from her fingertips, but her concern for her husband Minato Namikaze and her reluctance to part with her newborn child sustained her and prevented her from taking her last breath.

Meanwhile, in a small town dozens of miles away from Konoha, the town was brightly lit. Minato Namikaze stood on the stone bridge at the town's entrance, his yellow cloak fluttering in the night wind, his short, golden hair swaying slightly. His hand seals were clean and swift; several golden Flying Thunder God Slashes repelled the attacking assassins, leaving the two Konoha elders protecting him still shaken. "Lord Minato, thank you for saving us," one of the white-haired elders said, bowing slightly, his voice still trembling. Minato nodded slightly, about to speak, when he suddenly noticed a drastic change in the expression of Uchiha You beside him.

Uchiha Yao was dressed in black Uchiha clan clothing, and the fan emblem on his collar gleamed coldly in the firelight.

He closed his eyes, his hands forming hand seals so fast they almost left afterimages, his sensory ninjutsu covering a radius of a hundred miles.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and the Mangekyou Sharingan appeared in his pupils. His chakra surged instantly, carrying a thunderous pressure.

"It's the Nine-Tails' chakra!" His voice was deep, filled with barely concealed shock and anger. "Such a violent aura, it's out of control!"

Minato Namikaze's face turned deathly pale instantly. He abruptly turned his head to look in the direction of Konoha, his golden eyes filled with anxiety.

"Misaki... Naruto..." His wife's weak face and his child's pink face flashed into his mind, and he felt a strange pain in his heart, so painful that he could hardly breathe.

"There's no time to lose, we must return to Konoha immediately!" Uchiha Yao stepped forward, placing his hands on Namikaze Minato's shoulders, the light in his Sharingan growing even sharper. "But before we go back, there's something I must tell you." His voice was extremely low, tinged with gravity. "The Konoha leadership has been secretly researching the Sharingan and Wood Release for years. I've seen related records in the clan's secret files, and I've even noticed Root members frequently active near the Uchiha headquarters. This time, they've asked us to escort the elders out; it's probably not a simple mission, but a conspiracy to lure us out of Konoha!"

Minato Namikaze froze, his anxiety replaced by shock. His brow furrowed, his golden eyes filled with disbelief: "You mean... this was all a trap?"

"Most likely," Uchiha Yao said with certainty, a cold glint in his eyes. "The Nine-Tails' rampage was no accident. Someone deliberately manipulated the tailed beast to go berserk, just to plunge Konoha into chaos while we were away, and then pin the blame on the Uchiha clan! After all, the only ones who can control the tailed beasts, besides the Jinchuriki of the Uzumaki clan, are the Uchiha who possess the Sharingan."

Minato Namikaze's heart trembled violently as images from the past flashed through his mind: the high command's wariness and exclusion of the Uchiha clan, the Root's mysterious operations, and the rumors within the clan about Sharingan research… These details, which he had previously overlooked, now connected, forming a massive web of conspiracy that sent chills down his spine. He had always firmly believed that Konoha was a symbol of peace and justice, but Uchiha You's words, though calm, directly pierced through the disguise and revealed the truth.

"There's no time to hesitate!" Uchiha Yao's voice interrupted his thoughts. "Mikoto's still in the village; we have to get back as soon as possible!" He turned to look at Uchiha Mikoto behind him, who immediately understood, forming hand seals and a faint aura of chakra emanating from her body. Uchiha Yao took a deep breath, and the lightning chakra within him erupted, blue lightning crackling around him. He grabbed Uchiha Mikoto's waist, his toes barely touching the ground, and he sped off towards Konoha.

"I'll be there soon!" Minato Namikaze shouted at their retreating figures, golden chakra instantly covering his entire body, and the Flying Thunder God Technique seal appeared beneath his feet. He turned to the two elders and instructed them, "Elders, you can return here on your own. I must get back to Konoha immediately!"

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared from the spot, leaving only a golden afterimage.

The roar of the Nine-Tailed Fox grew closer and closer.

When that enormous body appeared at the entrance to Konoha Village, the entire village was instantly plunged into unprecedented panic. The Nine-Tails, towering tens of meters tall, was like a moving mountain, its chakra swirling around it like dark clouds. Each step it took caused the earth to tremble violently; houses crumbled beneath its feet like building blocks, billowing dust and smoke. Villagers screamed and fled in all directions; the cries of the elderly and children, the screams of women, and the rumbling of collapsing houses mingled together, creating a scene of utter hell.

At the top of the Hokage Building, Hiruzen Sarutobi, draped in the Hokage cloak, stood by the window, his aged face grave. His pipe was long since extinguished, and his fingers gripped the windowsill tightly, knuckles white. "Pass on my orders!" His voice, though aged, carried an undeniable authority. "All on-duty ninjas, immediately engage the Nine-Tails! Evacuation forces, guide the villagers to shelters with all their might! We absolutely cannot allow any more people to be injured!" The order was swiftly relayed throughout Konoha via summoning beasts. Ninjas rushed out from all directions, some heading towards the Nine-Tails, others organizing the evacuation of villagers. In an instant, war raged both inside and outside Konoha.

In the secret underground chamber of the Hokage Building, Danzo Shimura sat in the shadows, his face covered in bandages, only one cloudy eye visible. A sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth as he lightly tapped his fingers on the table. "Finally..." He ordered the Root ninja beside him, "Closely monitor the Uchiha clan's movements. Report immediately if they make any unusual moves. Also, have the sealing team prepare. This chaos is our best opportunity to seize control of Konoha." The Root ninja bowed and accepted the order, disappearing into the chamber like ghosts. Their mission was to monitor the Uchiha amidst the chaos, waiting for the perfect moment to seize power.

Just as the Nine-Tails ravaged the village and the villagers were plunged into despair, a blue lightning bolt streaked across the night sky like a meteor, instantly reaching the entrance to Konoha. Uchiha You's figure drew a sharp arc in the air, his lightning chakra growing increasingly violent, the blue lightning illuminating half the night sky. He looked at the village ravaged by the Nine-Tails, at the villagers fleeing in all directions, and his eyes blazed with fury. "Beast!" he hissed, his body accelerating suddenly, hurtling towards the Nine-Tails like a cannonball.

At that moment, the Nine-Tails raised its massive claws, aiming to strike a group of villagers who couldn't escape in time. In the nick of time, Uchiha Yao appeared before the Nine-Tails, his fists clenched, his chakra condensing as if into a tangible substance, his muscles bulging, unleashing a powerful surge of strength. "Get out of my way!" he roared, slamming his fist into the Nine-Tails' abdomen. "Boom—!" A deafening roar erupted, the violent force like a tsunami. The Nine-Tails' enormous body was forced backward by the punch, ultimately flying out of the village like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the distant plain, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Immediately following, Uchiha Mikoto landed on a rooftop at the village entrance. Her long black hair danced in the night wind, and her red eyes slowly opened, revealing the eerie patterns of the Mangekyou Sharingan within her pupils. After regaining its footing, Kurama roared angrily, unleashing a massive Tailed Beast Ball. The red energy sphere, carrying devastating power, hurtled towards Konoha. "Don't even think about it!" Uchiha Mikoto shouted, gripping the flame fan on her back. The light of her Mangekyou Sharingan shone brightly. She swung the fan fiercely, instantly creating a red chakra barrier. The Tailed Beast Ball slammed into the barrier, but was deflected back by the fan's force, exploding beside Kurama and creating a massive mushroom cloud.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Uchiha Yao landed on the plain. His eyes slowly closed, and when he opened them again, his crimson Sharingan had evolved into the Mangekyou Sharingan, its pupils filled with complex and mysterious patterns, radiating a suffocating pressure. "Nine-Tails, your madness ends here!" he roared, his chakra erupting like a volcano, golden chakra intertwining with the red Sharingan chakra to form a powerful aura. He took a step, each step leaving deep footprints in the ground, charging towards the Nine-Tails.

At this moment, the Nine-Tails was already blinded by its violent power, its eyes filled only with the desire for destruction and slaughter. Seeing Uchiha Yao charging towards it, it roared again, lashing out with its nine enormous tails. Each tail was as if forged from steel, whistling through the air. But Uchiha Yao was faster; he moved like a ghost among the Nine-Tails' tails, dodging the attacks while his fists relentlessly pounded into the Nine-Tails' body. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" The dull thuds of impact echoed continuously. Even with its formidable defense, the Nine-Tails could not withstand such a ferocious attack, letting out painful howls as it retreated with screams. Uchiha Yao used his immense physical strength to suppress the Nine-Tails' movements while simultaneously channeling the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan, attempting to invade the Nine-Tails' mental world and break its rage.

Inside Konoha Village, at the Uchiha clan's compound, alarms blared throughout the night. The Eighth Hokage stood at the gate, clad in his clan robes, a sword at his waist, his expression grave. He gazed at the massive Tailed Beast Ball explosion in the distance and commanded in a deep voice, "All clan members, heed my order! The Root forces are trying to stop us, but Konoha is our home, and the villagers are our comrades! Those willing to fight, follow me to support Lord You; those skilled in defense and medicine, immediately proceed to the various shelters to protect the villagers!"

"Yes!" The Uchiha clan ninjas responded in unison, their eyes gleaming with unwavering determination. They formed hand seals, activating their Sharingan, the crimson light merging into a single, continuous beam in the darkness. Facing the Root ninjas' obstruction, the Uchiha ninjas showed no mercy, unleashing a barrage of Lightning Blade, Fire Release, and shurikenjutsu, breaking through Root's defenses. Some ninjas rushed towards the plains outside the village to support Uchiha You in suppressing the Nine-Tails; others dashed to various shelters to assist in evacuating villagers and treating the wounded. The Uchiha clan members proved through their actions that they were not the "threat" the Konoha leadership spoke of, but rather a vital force protecting the village.

At the top of the Hokage Rock, Obito Uchiha's figure was hidden in the shadows, looking down at the chaos of Konoha, a cold smile flashing in his Sharingan eyes. Just as he was about to turn and leave, a golden figure suddenly appeared behind him, the Flying Thunder God Technique erupting instantly. "Halt!" Minato Namikaze's voice was icy, his yellow cloak fluttering in the night wind, his golden pupils filled with anger and vigilance.

Obito Uchiha slowly turned around, his face covered by a vortex mask, revealing only one scarlet Sharingan. "Minato Namikaze, I didn't expect you to be back so quickly." His voice was hoarse and eerie, carrying a hint of mockery.

"You controlled the Nine-Tails?" Minato Namikaze formed hand seals, his golden chakra surging around him. "Who are you? Why are you destroying Konoha?"

"Hehe..." Obito Uchiha chuckled, then suddenly formed hand seals, "Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!" Instantly, countless thick trees burst forth from the ground, their sharp branches swirling around Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze's pupils constricted sharply, and his figure vanished from his spot in an instant, dodging the Wood Release attack. "Wood Release?" A storm raged in his heart. Wood Release was the First Hokage's exclusive ninjutsu, and this mysterious person before him could also use it! Combining this with what Uchiha Yao had said earlier, he became even more convinced that there must be a huge conspiracy hidden within Konoha, and the mysterious person before him was very likely part of that conspiracy.

The two engaged in a fierce battle on the Hokage Rock, their golden Flying Thunder God techniques intertwining with the black shadows, sparking dazzling flashes. Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God technique was incredibly fast, each attack aimed directly at a vital point, but Obito Uchiha's space-time ninjutsu was equally unpredictable, always managing to evade attacks at crucial moments. After a while, Obito Uchiha realized that a prolonged battle was disadvantageous, and he sneered, "The game has only just begun." With that, his figure transformed into a wisp of black smoke and vanished from the spot.

Minato Namikaze stared intently in the direction Obito had disappeared, his brow furrowed, his golden eyes filled with solemnity. He looked down at the chaotic village below, a silent resolve forming in his mind: whatever the conspiracy, he must protect Konoha and his family.

The underground shelter in Konoha was crammed with refugees and wounded ninjas. Fear and resentment filled the air, and the villagers' complaints rose and fell. "What is the Third Hokage doing? The Nine-Tails has reached the village, and he hasn't come up with a solution!" "Yes, if this continues, we're all doomed!" a middle-aged villager shouted, his face filled with despair.

Several ninjas nearby nodded in agreement. One of the younger ninjas said, "If Lord Yao were in the village, he definitely wouldn't have let things turn out like this!" This resonated with everyone, and they began to discuss it, their words filled with recognition and expectation for Uchiha Yao.

Sarutobi Asuma stood in the crowd, listening to the villagers' discussions, his brow furrowed. He wore a green vest, his arms crossed, his expression serious. Finally, he couldn't help but speak, his voice booming, "You're all right! What Konoha needs now isn't an indecisive leader, but a powerful and decisive figure like Uchiha You! Only he can lead Konoha out of this crisis; only such a person is worthy of being Hokage!"

Asuma's words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing even greater ripples. The villagers echoed his sentiments, shouts and cheers resounding throughout the shelter. All of this was observed by a Root ninja in a corner of the shelter. He quietly retreated into the shadows and used a coded signal to report the situation to Shimura Danzo.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Konoha, amidst the rocks and stream, Minato Namikaze was frantically running along the current. His sensory ninjutsu was at full power, and he finally detected the faint chakra aura of his wife, Mio Uzumaki. When he arrived, he was met with a heart-wrenching sight: Mio lay on a flat rock, her long, silver-white hair soaked and stained with blood, her face as pale as paper, her breath so weak it was almost imperceptible. Beside her, Naruto, swaddled in his arms, slept soundly, his delicate face showing no awareness of his mother's impending danger.

"Mio!" Minato Namikaze rushed to his wife's side, kneeling down and trembling as he pulled her into his arms. His voice was choked with sobs, and his golden eyes were filled with pain and anxiety. "Hold on, I'll take you back for treatment right away!"

Uzumaki Mio slowly opened her eyes, saw her husband's familiar face, smiled weakly, and reached out a trembling hand to stroke his cheek: "Minato... Naruto... It's alright..." Before she could finish speaking, everything went black and she fainted.

Just then, several dark figures suddenly appeared beside the rocks, led by Shimura Danzo.

He looked at Mio Uzumaki in Minato's arms and Naruto in his swaddling clothes, a calculating glint in his cloudy eyes.

"Minato, the situation is critical. The seal on the Nine-Tails must be completed as soon as possible."

Danzo's voice was cold.

"Your child is a descendant of the Uzumaki clan and the Fourth Hokage, possessing the strongest life force, making him the best candidate to inherit the Nine-Tails seal. Of course, Root has also prepared backup Jinchuriki; you can choose one."

Minato Namikaze's body stiffened abruptly, his arms tightening around Misaki. A flash of anger crossed his golden eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He knew this wasn't the time to confront Danzo head-on; Misaki and Naruto's safety was paramount. "I understand, Lord Danzo," he said, bowing his head calmly. "Please give me some time. I'll first take Misaki and Naruto home to settle them, then immediately bring the children to perform the sealing."

Danzo narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Minato Namikaze, seemingly trying to determine if he was truly willing to submit. After a moment, he nodded: "Fine, but don't waste time." With that, he turned and left with the Root ninjas, leaving Minato Namikaze alone.

Minato Namikaze watched their departing figures, a cold glint in his eyes. He immediately scooped up Mio and Naruto, and vanished in a flash. Back home, he carefully placed Mio on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and gently stroked Naruto's face, his eyes filled with reluctance and resolve. Then, he turned and left the house, finding the Root's backup Jinchuriki waiting outside. Taking him by surprise, he knocked him unconscious with a single chop and hid him in the woodshed. Having done all this, he took a deep breath and turned to run towards the plains outside the village—a tough battle awaited him there.

On the plains outside the village, a barrier had been erected, a pale purple screen enveloping Kurama (the Nine-Tails) and Uchiha Yao. Uchiha Yao remained in his Mangekyou Sharingan form, his chakra raging like lightning, each attack carrying earth-shattering power. Kurama howled in agony, its massive body covered in wounds, its red chakra dimming considerably. Even though it was still dazed by the raging power, it was utterly powerless against Uchiha Yao's absolute dominance, only able to howl and crash about aimlessly, unable to break through the barrier or escape Uchiha Yao's suppression.

Outside the barrier, the sealing team's ninjas were already prepared. They formed a huge magic circle, their hands forming hand seals, and a faint aura of chakra emanated from their bodies, ready to unleash the sealing technique at any moment. Uchiha Yatsuho stood beside the sealing team, directing the Uchiha clan ninjas to form a defensive formation to prevent the Nine-Tails from breaking through the barrier, while also healing the injured ninjas.

Just then, a golden figure broke through the barrier and landed beside Uchiha Yao. "Yao, I'm here to help you!" Namikaze Minato's voice rang out, and golden chakra erupted instantly. He turned to look at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was directing operations in the distance, and said solemnly, "Third Hokage, leave this to me and Yao. Please lead the others to a safe area and continue organizing the evacuation of villagers and treating the wounded."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Uchiha Yo, who was suppressing the Nine-Tails within the barrier, then looked at Minato Namikaze beside him. A complex emotion flashed across his aged face before he finally nodded: "Alright, be careful!" With that, he turned and left to continue coordinating the rescue efforts behind him.

Minato Namikaze took a deep breath, formed hand seals, and the golden Flying Thunder God Chakra intertwined with Uchiha Yo's lightning chakra, creating a powerful aura. "Sealing team, prepare!" he shouted, his figure instantly disappearing from his original spot and appearing above the Nine-Tails' head, delivering a powerful Flying Thunder God Slash that slammed into the Nine-Tails' head.

The Nine-Tailed Fox let out a painful roar, and its massive body staggered.

Uchiha Yao seized the opportunity, gathering even more powerful chakra in his fists, and slammed them hard into Kurama's chest.

"Bang!"

Nine-Tails was beaten and lay on the ground, unable to move.

The sealing team's ninjas immediately activated the sealing technique, and countless chakra threads flew out from the magic circle, wrapping around the Nine-Tails' body and binding it tightly.

The Nine-Tails struggled frantically, letting out a deafening roar, its red chakra surging once more as it tried to break free of the seal.

However, under the suppression of Uchiha Yao's power and the restraint of Namikaze Minato, its struggles became weaker and weaker.
