Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

"Their leader possesses the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths, the Rinnegan!"

"what?!"

Everyone present was shocked, but Danzo, who already knew, wisely remained silent and did not say a word.

The leader of Akatsuki possessed the Rinnegan, and he already knew this. Back during the Third Shinobi World War, in order to get the Land of Rain to send troops to help Konoha, he even agreed to Hanzo's "Operation to Annihilate Akatsuki" and sent Uchiha Shisui and the elite of the Uchiha clan.

Unexpectedly, the Akatsuki's fighting strength was beyond imagination. Not only did Uchiha Shisui disappear, but the Uchiha elites and Hanzo's elites also suffered heavy losses.

After the mission failed, Danzo and Hanzo lost contact. To prevent the Uchiha clan from holding them accountable, Danzo even used his power as the acting Hokage to erase the mission.

Even Danzo himself never imagined that the Akatsuki organization would grow to this extent...

Danzo remained silent, and everyone present kept quiet, their eyes fixed on the secret cave in front of them, praying that the day would go smoothly and that nothing unexpected would happen.

However, besides them, several other pairs of eyes were secretly watching this place.

On one side is Uchiha Obito, who is hiding in the shadows using intangibility, ready to launch a major attack at any time.

And the other side.

"It must be extremely rare in the ninja world for a Jinchuriki to give birth to a child."

Hozuki Gengetsu, dressed in a white haori, looked at the cave in front of him, which was covered with barriers, with a click of his tongue in amazement: "But then again, with this level of defense, let alone a person, even a mosquito couldn't fly in, right? Isn't the Fourth Hokage making a mountain out of a molehill?"

"Isn't your mission to find Orochimaru in the Land of Rice Fields? Why did you come along, Second Mizukage?"

"I went to the Land of Rice Fields, but there wasn't a soul there, just a few bases. There wasn't even a trace of Orochimaru." Hozuki Gengetsu looked helplessly at Uchiha Shisui, who was wearing the Second Division Captain's Hagoromo. Little Bear shrugged: "The Land of Rice Fields is so close to the Land of Fire, of course I had to come to the Land of Fire to rest for a while."

"But speaking of which, the Land of Fire is really rich in resources and has complete entertainment facilities. It truly deserves to be called the number one country in the ninja world... If I were the Fourth Hokage, I would just destroy Konoha first and take over the Land of Fire!"

"...Since Orochimaru is not in the Land of Rice Fields, your task should be to find Orochimaru, not to chat with me here."

Uchiha Shisui looked at the unreliable Hozuki Gengetsu with some speechlessness. This old guy was completely different from the one in the textbooks. He was just a funny little mustache who would occasionally bring up some destructive topics.

"Same here, same here, I'll go after I've seen the show."

Hozuki Gengetsu chuckled: "But Shisui, do you really think something will happen today as the Fourth Hokage said? With Konoha's defenses, even if I were alive, I probably wouldn't be able to interfere with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki giving birth."

"Look at the number of sealing barriers. There are as many as four Four Symbols Seals alone, and there are even elite members of the Anbu inside the barriers. Tsk tsk tsk, Konoha really values ​​it quite a lot."

Hearing Hozuki Gengetsu's words, Uchiha Shisui remained expressionless, but inwardly he agreed with them.

Even if several Kage-level powerhouses came, they might not be able to break through this barrier.

But Minazuki Yoru never made a wrong prediction. Since he said that a big event would happen tonight, then a big event would definitely happen.

But in what form...?

……

"Waaaaah, it really hurts..."

Inside the cave, candlelight and firelight illuminated the interior. Kushina lay on the stone bed, her face contorted in pain, clutching a Flying Thunder God kunai tightly in her hand. She was covered with a thick blanket and wrapped in a sheet, and was emitting screams of agony.

Beside him, the Third Hokage's wife, Biwako, and his disciple, Jabami, were solemnly delivering Kushina's baby.

"Hehe, how's the seal on the Nine-Tails?" Biwako asked while delivering Kushina's baby, listening to Kushina's agonizing screams.

"The barrier is still quite strong. The Fourth Hokage reinforced the sealing technique before leaving the village," said Jabami with a smile. "Lady Kushina, please hold on a little longer, she'll be born soon!"

Hearing that there was no problem with the barrier, Biwako breathed a sigh of relief.

She was worried that the Nine-Tails might escape during her delivery, but now that the sealing technique is stable, there shouldn't be any problem.

"Kushina, take a deep breath, it'll be done soon!"

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaa…”

Kushina's heart-wrenching cries of pain grew louder and louder, and amidst these cries, a figure shrouded in a black robe silently passed through the barrier and appeared inside the cave.

The formidable multi-layered barrier techniques outside, while capable of withstanding all the current powerhouses in the ninja world, are utterly meaningless against space-time ninjas.

However, the moment the black-robed figure appeared, the elite ANBU on guard also immediately noticed Obito's presence.

"who are you?"

The elite guard in charge of the defense said in a deep voice, gripping his kunai tightly, ready to strike at any moment.

But his questions obviously went unanswered. The silent man in black robes seemed to ignore him completely, showing no intention of paying him any attention. He simply looked up calmly into the depths of the cave. His eyes were hidden behind the swirling mask, but the eerie aura he exuded made all the guarding ninjas present feel that something was wrong.

"Do it!"

Seeing that there was no response to his question, the squad leader of the dark unit decisively ordered his men to attack. He himself transformed into a black shadow, his kunai aimed straight at the neck of the man in the black robe.

Since they have no intention of replying, they are automatically considered enemies.

Moreover, anyone who appears here at this time should be killed on the spot!

The strength of this ANBU squad leader is beyond doubt; he is definitely an elite Jonin-level existence. In such a short distance, the kunai in his hand was thrust in front of the black-robed man in the blink of an eye, and he was about to decapitate him from below.

But then something shocking happened.

The squad leader's kunai, which was almost certain to hit, missed its target, and his figure passed right through the opponent, as if no one existed in that area at all!

"Illusion?!"

"A visual illusion?!"

The thought flashed through everyone's minds at the same time, but what happened next immediately shattered their expectations.

The oblivious squad leader instinctively turned around to investigate, but at that moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, and then everything went black before he collapsed to the ground, powerless.

"team leader!"

"Something's wrong with this guy! Send an alert immediately!"

"Watch out! All personnel on high alert!"

The members of the Dark Division reacted quickly, shouting and firing several shuriken at the same time.

The other members also attacked simultaneously, unleashing various ninjutsu techniques at the man in black robes.

But a pity.

As before, their attacks landed on the man in black robes, but all of them missed. When the man in black robes looked up and his blood-red eyes slowly emerged from under the vortex mask, a one-sided massacre had already begun.

In just a few seconds, all the elite members of the secret service were killed.

Obito Uchiha slowly looked into the depths of the cave and walked towards it step by step.

Even the usually boisterous Tobi remained silent. To be honest, he hadn't expected Obito to unleash such power and aura today. That was Konoha's elite Anbu, a top-tier fighter even in the entire ninja world.

Yet this elite squad was wiped out by Obito in no time, as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

He just went to visit a grave, and he suddenly unleashed this kind of fighting power... Why don't we just have Obito move the grave to the Kamui dimension and take a look at it before every fight? He would definitely be able to defeat Minato Namikaze and Yoru Minazuki!

Obito was unaware of Tobi's chaotic thoughts. He walked step by step into the cave, and soon he heard the sound of a baby crying.

"Quick, hot water!"

Biwako quickly took the child, her forehead still damp with nervous sweat, but she smiled and spoke loudly to Sheci beside her. Sheci hurriedly handed over the hot water that had been prepared beforehand.

Kushina, who had been tense all along, completely collapsed at this moment, like a lump of mud on the stone bed.

"Thank you for your hard work, Kushina. It's all in the past now."

Biwako breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Kushina: "It's a pity Minato isn't here, otherwise he would have been able to see his child immediately."

"It's alright, Minato is the Hokage after all."

Kushina shook her head weakly, her grip on the Flying Thunder God kunai loosening slightly without a word of complaint. Looking at the child in Biwako's arms, a happy smile appeared on her face.

Biwako washed the child thoroughly, gently wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and then carefully placed him beside Kushina.

Kushina's gaze remained fixed on Naruto. Looking at the incessantly crying little Naruto, even the fiery Kushina revealed a gentle and loving look in her eyes.

"Naruto……"

"Alright, you're still too weak. Relax and rest. Naruto, we'll..."

Biwako's smile vanished abruptly, and she lowered her head in disbelief, staring at the kunai that had pierced her chest from behind.

Two figures collapsed to the ground with a thud, and the smell of blood filled the air. Kushina, who had been preoccupied with her child just moments before, immediately noticed something was wrong, but her weakness left her with no strength at all.

She struggled to lift her head, but only saw Biwako and Sheci lying in a pool of blood.

"Lord Biwako! Serpent Compassion!"

A weak cry escaped her lips, and a figure in black robes appeared beside her without her noticing.

His two hands fell simultaneously, one landing on Kushina's lower abdomen, while the other, holding a kunai, landed on Naruto, who was wailing beside him.

"Naruto!!"

With her child facing a life-or-death crisis, Kushina Uzumaki disregarded her own weakness and unleashed countless chains from her body, forcefully blocking the kunai in the black-robed man's hand.

The kunai collided with the Vajra chain and broke. The chain meandered and fell towards the black-robed man, but missed.

An elusive figure, a black-robed silhouette, a swirling mask...

"It's you! You're the man in black robes from Dongsong Mountain!"

"Don't even think about laying a hand on Naruto!"

Kushina suppressed her weakness, her left hand still tightly gripping the Flying Thunder God kunai, while her right hand shot out countless Vajra Chains, like a spider web, covering the entire cave.

At the same time, Kushina used her chakra to activate the alarm barrier that covered the entire cave.

"Truly worthy of being the second-generation Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

Even though she had just given birth, she was still able to unleash such a powerful Vajra Chain, which shocked even Obito.

There's definitely no simple one among the Uzumaki clan.

but……

"My target isn't this fourth-generation heir!"

Obito Uchiha suddenly raised his head, the single eye of his vortex mask looking at Kushina. Their eyes met in mid-air, and the blood-red three-tomoe Sharingan instantly invaded Kushina's mind.

"who are you?"

Inside the Nine-Tailed Fox Sealing Space, a massive fox demon was bound to a red fireball when it suddenly noticed a figure in black appearing before it, asking a cold question in a voice that didn't sound human.

Obito Uchiha did not answer, but instead stared into Kurama's eyes with his Sharingan, unleashing all the power Madara had left him!

In an instant, a strange power of vision surged into the Nine-Tails' body.

"That eye power! That chakra!"

Nine-Tails' mind suddenly became agitated. The long-lost yet familiar power made the fox incredibly violent. But the next moment, its pupils began to dilate, and the three-tomoe pattern slowly emerged and gradually became clearer.

In the outside world

Having completed the eye power connection, Obito Uchiha took a deep breath, unleashing all the chakra within him, echoing the Nine-Tails within Kushina Uzumaki.

"It was successful..."

"So."

"Come out, Kyuubi!"

A painful howl escaped Kushina's lips, and a dense layer of tailed beast chakra emerged from her body. The seal on her lower abdomen suddenly opened, revealing a deep black hole.

Immediately afterwards, a deep and rich mass of tailed beast chakra burst forth from his body!

hatred.

bloody.

terror.

Violent.

Resentment.

Hatred.

destroy!

An endless stream of negative emotions, no less intense than those from the Box of Bliss, surged forth from that chakra at this moment. The chakra condensed, and a nine-tailed fox appeared, howling to the sky under the moon!

Under its overwhelming power, the entire world seemed to tremble!

"very good!"

Looking at the fox spirit under the moon, Obito Uchiha turned his gaze to Kushina Uzumaki and Naruto, who was crying incessantly in his swaddling clothes, and slowly walked towards Naruto.
