Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Crimson chakra surged within the barrier, and the Nine-Tailed Fox's roar caused the space to tremble slightly. Each strike of its claws brought with it a sharp sound as if it were tearing through the air.

His scarlet pupils churned with violence and chaos, clearly being controlled by some powerful pupil force, his reason long since devoured.

The edge of the barrier shimmered with a ghostly blue light, barely managing to confine the power within.

But it was covered with fine cracks, as if it would completely collapse at any moment.

Minato Namikaze moved like a ghost around Kurama, his golden hair fluttering in the wind, and a resolute glint in his blue eyes.

The speed at which his hands formed hand seals was so fast that they were just afterimages. As his fingertips flew, golden sealing runes appeared out of thin air, wrapping around the Nine-Tails' limbs like chains.

"We must stabilize its movement!"

Minato gritted his teeth and hissed, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. Maintaining such a large-scale sealing technique was extremely taxing on his chakra, and his face had turned somewhat pale.

Not far away, Uchiha Yao stood silently in mid-air, his black Uchiha clan robes fluttering in the air currents of chakra.

His eyes gleamed a strange crimson, the patterns of his Mangekyou Sharingan resembling blooming blood-red flowers, deep and terrifying—the awakened Mangekyou Sharingan after fusing the power of countless worlds. As his eye power circulated, an invisible pressure spread, causing the Nine-Tails' movements to momentarily freeze. Uchiha Yao's body stood tall and straight, every muscle containing explosive power—pure, unadulterated physical strength, forged through countless trials and tribulations across the star palaces of the heavens. He slightly raised his hand, his fingers curling, and an invisible force gripped the Nine-Tails' neck, abruptly silencing its deafening roar. "Minato, now!"

Uchiha Yao's voice was calm and steady, carrying an undeniable authority. Minato's eyes narrowed, seizing this fleeting opportunity. His hands moved with incredible speed, forming hand seals, "Sealing Technique: Four Symbols Sealing!" The golden sealing array suddenly expanded, like a giant net, firmly enveloping the Nine-Tails' massive body. The Nine-Tails struggled frantically, its crimson chakra clashing wildly against the sealing array. Dazzling light erupted where the runes and chakra collided. Uchiha Yao frowned slightly, activating the full power of his Mangekyou Sharingan. One after another, his eye techniques precisely struck the Nine-Tails' chakra core, continuously weakening its resistance. At the same time, his pure physical strength erupted without reservation, forcefully suppressing the Nine-Tails' writhing body.

One used his eye techniques and physical strength to suppress the Nine-Tails head-on, while the other used a superb sealing technique to undermine it from the ground. With their seamless cooperation, the Nine-Tails' struggles gradually weakened. The chaotic will planted by Obito Uchiha using Madara's eye power was torn apart like paper before Yo Uchiha's Reincarnation Mangekyou Sharingan. Finally, the Nine-Tails' massive body collapsed to the ground, a sliver of clarity returning to its crimson pupils, yet still tinged with deep apprehension.

Minato let out a long sigh of relief, his body swaying as he nearly fell from the sky. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze towards Uchiha Yao filled with admiration. Uchiha Yao slowly landed on the ground, the patterns of his Mangekyou Sharingan gradually fading, returning to ordinary black eyes, though a faint crimson lingered deep within them. "Minato, your wife's condition is probably not optimistic." Uchiha Yao's gaze shifted to a spot not far outside the barrier, where Uzumaki Mio lay, barely breathing. Her body was covered in battle wounds, her Uzumaki clan's distinctive red hair now stained with dust and blood, her breath as weak as a candle flickering in the wind.

Minato's heart tightened, and he quickly teleported to Mio's side, his hands trembling as he grasped her cold hand. "Mio..." His voice was filled with barely concealed anxiety and pain. He probed Mio's body with his chakra, only to find that her life force was rapidly draining away.

"The Uzumaki clan's constitution inherently possesses a special affinity with the chakra of the Tailed Beasts." Uchiha Yao walked slowly forward, his voice calm yet carrying a convincing power. "I can extract a portion of the Nine-Tails' chakra, which can both prolong Misaki's life and seal this portion of chakra within Uchiha Sasuke." He paused, his gaze falling on the sleeping infant in the swaddling clothes not far away—Minato and Misaki's child. "Making Sasuke a Jinchūriki will, firstly, allow us to protect him with the power of the Tailed Beast's chakra, and secondly, allow this portion of chakra to resonate with the chakra within Misaki's body, stabilizing her vital signs."

Minato looked up abruptly, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes. The fate of a Jinchuriki was too heavy; he didn't want any child to suffer that pain. But looking at his wife's increasingly faint breath in his arms, he finally closed his eyes and nodded with difficulty, "Alright... I'll do as you say."

Uchiha Yao said no more, forming hand seals. A pale red chakra was drawn from the Nine-Tails' body, like a nimble little dragon. Part of it slowly flowed into Misao's body, restoring a touch of color to her pale face and stabilizing her breathing slightly. The other part transformed into sealing runes, silently merging into Sasuke's body, completing this hidden seal. After doing all this, Uchiha Yao slowly dispersed the chakra around him, his expression remaining calm and composed.

With the Nine-Tails successfully suppressed, the barrier enveloping Konoha slowly dissipated, and sunlight once again shone upon the earth, but it could not illuminate the devastated village. Houses collapsed, smoke and dust filled the air, and the air reeked of blood and acrid burning. The surviving villagers wept and wailed amidst the ruins, a truly horrific sight.

Outside the barrier, Hiruzen Sarutobi, wielding his golden staff, stood with a solemn expression on his aged face. Behind him, the Anbu members were all dressed in black, their faces mostly obscured by masks, revealing only their wary eyes, their weapons gleaming coldly. Danzo Shimura stood on the other side, dressed in a black Zhongshan suit, his right hand hidden in the wide sleeve of his robe. His single eye flashed with a sinister light. Root ninjas lurked around like ghosts, their presence concealed, exuding a dangerous aura.

"Minato, Yo, you've succeeded." The Third Hokage's voice carried a hint of weariness. His gaze swept over the sealed Nine-Tails and finally settled on Mio and Sasuke in Minato's arms. When he sensed the faint tailed beast chakra within Sasuke, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Minato had already prepared his explanation. Suppressing the complex emotions in his heart, he said in a deep voice, "Third Hokage, Mio, as a member of the Uzumaki clan, has a natural affinity with the tailed beast's chakra. I sealed a portion of the Nine-Tails' chakra within her to barely save her life." He deliberately avoided mentioning Sasuke's situation, and his tone was firm, leaving no room for doubt.

Danzo narrowed his one eye, seemingly wanting to say something, but seeing the lingering aura of sealing techniques on Minato and the cold expression on Uchiha Yo's face, he swallowed his words, though his suspicion deepened.

Ignoring their probing, Uchiha Yao turned to the Uchiha clansmen rushing towards him. His voice was loud and authoritative, echoing like thunder over the ruins: "All Uchiha clansmen, listen to my command! Immediately participate in the village's rescue and reconstruction efforts, treat the wounded, and clear the rubble. There must be no slackening!" His gaze was sharp as a knife, sweeping over every Uchiha clansman with an unyielding aura.

The Uchiha clan members were taken aback at first, but then readily accepted the order without hesitation. Armed with their weapons, they quickly dispersed to various corners of the village. Some rescued villagers trapped under the rubble, some extinguished the remaining flames, and some moved the broken stones and tiles. Their movements were swift, efficient, and decisive.

This scene subtly moved the surrounding Konoha ninja. The Uchiha clan, usually known for their arrogance and aloofness, rarely participated so actively in village affairs. But now, under Uchiha You's orders, they displayed astonishing efficiency and a strong sense of responsibility, a stark contrast to the Third Hokage's cautious observation and Danzo's covert vigilance. Many Konoha ninja, watching the busy Uchiha members, gradually softened their hostility and wariness, replaced by a hint of approval.

Just as Konoha was fully engaged in rescue and reconstruction efforts, devastating news reached the Uchiha clan's compound. A blood-soaked Uchiha clansman stumbled into the compound, his face filled with anxiety and grief: "Lord You! Something terrible has happened! Lord Fugaku... Lord Fugaku is in trouble!"

Uchiha You's heart sank. He instantly appeared in front of the man, grabbed his shoulder, and said in an icy tone, "Explain yourself. What happened to Fugaku?"

"Lord Fugaku was ambushed on his way back to the village. The attackers were extremely powerful. Lord Fugaku fought back desperately, and although he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he was still severely injured and nearly died!" The clansman gasped for breath, his voice trembling with tears. "Lord Fugaku was on the verge of death, and when we rescued him, he was already unconscious!"

Uchiha Yao's eyes instantly sharpened, radiating a chilling killing intent. He strode towards the clan's medical room, pushed open the door, and saw Uchiha Fugaku lying on the bed, his body wrapped in bandages, blood soaking through the white gauze, his breath so weak it was almost imperceptible. His left eye was tightly closed, the eye socket empty, clearly indicating the loss of his Mangekyou Sharingan; while his right eye, though closed, faint lines were visible between his brows, the traces of the awakened Mangekyou Sharingan.

Uchiha Yao extended a finger and gently brushed it across Fugaku's wound. A wisp of chakra probed into it, and he quickly sensed something amiss. Within Fugaku's body lurked an extremely tiny poisonous insect, about the size of a nanometer, slowly eroding his bodily functions. The insect's aura was highly distinctive; it was Aburame Shiguro's exclusive poisonous insect.

"Aburame Shiro... Root..." Uchiha You murmured in a low voice, his voice filled with a chilling aura. His eyes grew increasingly deep, and the details of the matter were gradually becoming clear.

That evening, the Uchiha clan's core meeting was held in the clan's council hall. The hall was brightly lit, and the core members of the Uchiha sat solemnly in their respective seats, a heavy atmosphere hanging in the air. News of Fugaku's serious injuries and coma had spread throughout the clan, leaving everyone in a state of panic, unsure of the clan's future.

Uchiha You slowly entered the council hall, dressed in a black clan robe, his posture upright, his eyes calm yet carrying a powerful sense of oppression. He walked to the main seat and sat down, without any unnecessary pleasantries, and spoke directly, his voice clearly resounding throughout the council hall: "Everyone, I presume you are already aware of Lord Fugaku's situation."

He raised his hand and a chakra projection appeared before everyone, clearly showing Fugaku's severely injured appearance, the hollows in his eye sockets, and the form of the nano-poisonous insects inside his body. "Lord Fugaku was ambushed on his way back, suffered severe injuries, lost one Mangekyou Sharingan, and had Aburame Shiguro's nano-poisonous insects implanted in his body."

The projected image shifted, showing traces of the Mangekyou Sharingan controlling the Nine-Tails' eyes during its rampage, as well as a faint trace of Wood Release chakra left at the scene. "Furthermore, the Nine-Tails' rampage was not an accident; it was controlled by someone using the Mangekyou Sharingan. The Wood Release traces left at the scene are enough to show that the mastermind behind it all has a close connection with Madara Uchiha from back then."

The council hall erupted in uproar, the core members of the Uchiha clan their faces filled with shock and anger.

"Who did this? How dare they attack our Uchiha clan!"

"Wood Release? Could it be that Lord Madara from back then is still alive?"

"No, Lord Madara has been missing for years, and there are also Shiro Aburame's poisonous insects at the scene. This is clearly the work of someone from within Konoha!"

Uchiha Yao raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, his sharp gaze sweeping across the entire room: "That's right, it's someone from within Konoha." His voice carried a powerful piercing force. "Someone covets our Uchiha's bloodline limit, wanting to seize the Mangekyou Sharingan, so they orchestrated this series of events, instigating infighting between the village and the Uchiha, to reap the benefits!"

His words struck everyone like a hammer blow, instantly bringing them to their senses. For a long time, Konoha's suspicion and exclusion of the Uchiha clan had fueled resentment among the members, and Fugaku's current predicament only confirmed this.

"Lord Yao, what should we do? We can't just let this go!" An elder stood up, his eyes filled with anger.

"Yes, we must find the mastermind behind this and avenge Lord Fugaku!"

Seeing the united anger of the crowd, Uchiha Yao nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "The mastermind behind this is extremely well-hidden and powerful. We shouldn't act rashly now. Our top priority is to unite, stabilize the situation within the clan, and do everything we can to save Lord Fugaku. As long as we Uchiha are united, no one can shake our position!"

His words were firm and powerful, filled with confidence and authority, gradually calming the previously anxious Uchiha members. Everyone looked at Uchiha You, their eyes filled with trust and awe. During the Nine-Tails' attack, Uchiha You had demonstrated overwhelming strength and decisive decision-making; now, facing a crisis within the clan, he could so calmly analyze the situation and point the way forward. Unbeknownst to many, Uchiha You had become the undisputed absolute leader of the Uchiha clan.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Hokage Building's conference room was equally heavy. Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in the main seat, his brow furrowed, Danzo sat to his right, expressionless, and the two advisors, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, sat on either side, their expressions serious.

"The Nine-Tails' rampage caused enormous damage, and someone must be held accountable," Danzo spoke first, his voice hoarse and somber. "Traces of the Mangekyou Sharingan controlling the Nine-Tails were found at the scene, and the Uchiha clan cannot escape blame. I suggest that we strengthen surveillance of the Uchiha clan to prevent them from causing further unrest."

Mitokado Homura nodded in agreement, saying, "Danzo is right. The Uchiha clan's bloodline limits are too dangerous, especially the Mangekyou Sharingan, which must be strictly controlled."

Koharu Utatane added, "The village is in a state of panic right now, and we need to stabilize the situation as soon as possible. I suggest recalling Jiraiya and Tsunade to help stabilize the village, and also recommending Minato Namikaze as the Fourth Hokage. He performed exceptionally well during the Nine-Tails' attack and has earned the trust of the villagers and ninjas."

Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly opened his eyes, a hint of weariness on his aged face, yet also a subtle calculation: "I agree to your proposal. Jiraiya and Tsunade's return will indeed strengthen the village, and Minato is young and capable of serving as the Fourth Hokage. As for the Uchiha clan..." He paused, his eyes flickering, "Although we can't be certain that they orchestrated the Nine-Tails' attack, the threat of the Mangekyou Sharingan certainly exists, and increased surveillance is necessary."

"The Third Hokage!" Minato immediately retorted, "Uchiha You and the Uchiha clan made great efforts during the Nine-Tails' rampage. They did their utmost to suppress the Nine-Tails and then actively participated in the rescue and reconstruction efforts. We cannot judge them guilty solely based on traces of the Mangekyou Sharingan!"

"Minato, you're still too young." Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of warning. "The Uchiha clan's ambitions have a long history, and the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan is enough to overthrow the village. We must be on guard."

Minato's heart sank as he looked at the unwavering gaze in the Third Hokage's eyes and the faint, cold smile on Danzo's lips. He suddenly realized that the Third Hokage, seemingly gentle, was actually extremely controlling. His nomination of him as the Fourth Hokage might not have been entirely out of trust, but rather a means to stabilize the situation and further suppress the Uchiha clan. A deep disappointment welled up within him. He had once been filled with hope for a brighter future for Konoha, but now he felt the darkness and coldness of politics.

Disheartened, Minato didn't argue further and silently left the meeting room. That night, using the Flying Thunder God Technique, he silently infiltrated the Root base. The Root base was hidden underground in Konoha, dark and damp, with a faint smell of blood in the air. Minato carefully avoided the patrolling Root ninjas, relying on his keen senses to find a secluded chamber.

Pushing open the door to the secret chamber, the sight before him chilled Minato to the bone. Dozens of corpses lay neatly arranged on the floor, each dressed in the Uchiha clan's attire. Their eyes had been cruelly gouged out, dried blood still clinging to the empty sockets. Minato approached and carefully examined the bodies, discovering that their times of death varied, but most were before the rise of Uchiha Yo. Clearly, Root had been secretly hunting down Uchiha members for years, stealing their Sharingan.

"So that's how it is..." Minato's voice was filled with barely concealed anger and disappointment. "Third Hokage... Danzo... you've been deceiving me all along, doing such despicable things!" He had always thought Konoha was a symbol of light and justice, but he never imagined that such unspeakable evil was hidden beneath its glamorous exterior. He felt a profound betrayal, and his faith in Konoha began to crumble.

The following day, the memorial to Konoha stood solemnly. Surviving villagers and ninjas, dressed in black, stood silently before the monument, mourning their comrades who had perished in the Nine-Tails' attack. A somber atmosphere filled the air, occasionally punctuated by soft sobs.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood before the memorial monument, his aged face filled with sorrow. He picked up the microphone, and his voice resounded throughout the plaza: "Fellow Konoha comrades, the Nine-Tails' attack has brought us immense disaster; many have lost loved ones and homes. As Hokage, I feel deeply responsible for this. Hereby, I announce my formal resignation as Hokage and will expedite the election of a new Hokage to lead Konoha out of this predicament and rebuild our home!"

A commotion arose in the crowd; some were sad, some were confused, and some were filled with worry about the future.

Uchiha Itachi stood at the edge of the crowd, his small body trembling slightly, his face filled with suppressed grief. His mother had long since passed away, and now his father was critically injured and unconscious, his fate unknown. This child, only a few years old, had endured far too much pain at such a young age. Tears welled in his eyes, yet he stubbornly refused to let them fall. At the same time, a subtle change occurred in his left eye; a faint tomoe mark slowly emerged, and the single-tomoe Sharingan quietly awakened amidst grief and anger.

Uchiha Yao walked to Itachi's side, gently patted his shoulder, and said in a much softer tone, "Itachi, I know you're very sad right now, but you have to be strong." He paused, lowered his voice, and whispered in Itachi's ear, "Sasuke has a portion of the Nine-Tails' chakra sealed within him, making him a Jinchūriki. This might be the best way to protect him. I've already arranged for Shisui and Kakashi to jointly monitor Sasuke, so you don't need to worry."

Itachi looked up abruptly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, before nodding heavily. He knew Uchiha Yao's strength and believed that Uchiha Yao could protect Sasuke.

"From today onwards, you are my disciple." Uchiha Yao's voice was firm and unwavering. "I will teach you how to use the Sharingan, how to become strong, and how to protect yourself and those you want to protect."

A glint appeared in Itachi's eyes. He looked at Uchiha Yao and solemnly kowtowed, saying, "Master!"

Meanwhile, inside the Hokage Building, Hiruzen Sarutobi was in a private conversation with Hiashi Hyuga, the head of the Hyuga clan. "Hiashi," the Third Hokage said gravely, "the Uchiha clan's power is growing stronger, and the rise of Uchiha Yo is a huge threat to the village. I hope the Hyuga clan can join forces with us to suppress the Uchiha."

Hiashi Hyuga pondered for a moment, then nodded: "We have long been aware of the Uchiha's ambitions, and the Hyuga clan is willing to stand on the same side as the village."

Meanwhile, Danzo was secretly devising a plan to exterminate the Uchiha clan. A sinister smile appeared on his face as his pen slid rapidly across the paper, sketching out a series of intrigues and schemes. He wanted to completely wipe out the Uchiha clan, seize their Sharingan, and consolidate his power.

Meanwhile, inside the Uchiha clan compound, Uchiha Yao stood by the window, gazing at the Hokage Building in the distance, his eyes flickering slightly.

He sensed the hostility and scheming of Konoha's higher-ups, and knew that an even greater storm was brewing. "The time has come."

Uchiha Yao muttered to himself.

"Tsunade and the others should be back by now. Tomorrow's Jonin meeting will be the moment that changes the landscape of Konoha."

At tomorrow's Jonin meeting, it's time to expose the conspiracy of the Third Hokage and Danzo and wipe out the remnants of the old era.

To enable the Uchiha and Senju clans, the two founders of Konoha and two clans that disappeared in the original timeline, to govern together and usher in a new era for Konoha.
