It was another quiet night.
Nine months had passed since Minato became Hokage, and Konoha entered its 48th year of establishment.
Rumble!
A massive surge of energy swept outwards from within Konoha.
Beep beep beep!
Konoha's highest alert sounded.
The moment they heard the sound, all the Ninja awakened from the darkness.
Their hearts trembled.
This alarm only sounded when Konoha's very survival was at stake.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
All the ninjas leapt onto rooftops, observing the situation and awaiting orders.
Ninja closer to the source of the sound could already see the gigantic figure.
Nine tails swayed above Konoha.
"What is that monster?"
As the tails swept across, a large number of Konoha's buildings were destroyed, and many residents died.
"Son, what is that?"
Hiroshi and Satoru stood on a rooftop, looking at the towering giant beast.
Satoru sighed inwardly, "Has it finally arrived?"
"That should be the Nine-Tailed, Dad. You go evacuate the residents. You know the emergency procedure for Konoha, right?"
Satoru instructed.
Hiroshi nodded. After all, he used to be a Chunin.
When Konoha's highest alert was activated, all Chunin followed a fixed procedure to evacuate residents to shelters.
"Make sure to protect Ayame and Uncle Teuchi!"
Meanwhile, Satoru quickly moved towards the Nine-Tailed.
They weren't the only ones moving; all Ninja above Chunin rank began to act.
Genin, under the arrangement of Chunin, were responsible for evacuating the civilians.
"Activate emergency orders! Everyone protect non-combat personnel..."
Just then, Nara Shikaku's voice reached the ears of all the Ninja.
Order after order was given.
At the Nine-Tailed's location, a large group of ninjas was already engaging it.
The first to arrive were the Ino–Shika–Chō and others. Orders were transmitted via Inoichi Yamanaka's Mind Body Switch Technique.
Shuriken, Kunai, explosive tags, the attacks of many Ninja were like tickling the Nine-Tailed.
Not only were they useless, but they also enraged the Nine-Tailed.
Rumble!
"Bearing the name of Hokage, I swear to protect the Village to the death."
Minato looked at the towering giant beast.
The Nine-Tailed's gaze also noticed him, and it opened its mouth, a massive black sphere appearing.
"I won't let you harm the Village. That massive energy, I need to choose the landing spot carefully."
Facing the enormous Tailed Beast Ball, Minato formed hand signs and cast a Ninjutsu, using a space-time barrier to transfer the Tailed Beast Ball.
Bang!
A massive explosion erupted outside the Village.
That energy made the sensing Satoru's heart tremble.
"A terrifying Tailed Beast Ball. If it hit, we'd be scattered everywhere.
It seems the Fourth Hokage should be confronting Obito.
Good, I also need to demonstrate my Will of Fire."
After more than a year of training, he was no longer a Genin who had just stepped onto the battlefield. If he could reduce casualties, he still had to help.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As he approached the Nine-Tailed, he could see many Ninja restraining the Nine-Tailed.
The Nine-Tailed was much more terrifying than it appeared in the anime.
Its inherent aura alone gave him a sense of oppression.
"Might Guy, Kakashi, what's the situation?"
He landed beside Might Guy and Kakashi and asked them.
"This guy seems to be controlled by a Sharingan."
Kakashi looked into the Nine-Tailed's eyes and told him.
"Yosh, now is the time for me to burn my youthful energy."
Might Guy first struck a grand pose, wanting to have a showdown with the Nine-Tailed.
"The Third Hokage and the two Advisors have arrived."
Satoru's perception spread out. The Nine-Tailed's massive Chakra aggregation could no longer interfere with his perception.
He could sense three figures, no, four figures approaching.
And the Nine-Tailed was too resilient. Konoha's Ninja couldn't defeat it, but they could temporarily suppress it.
One person was seen rising into the sky, directly engaging the Nine-Tailed.
"Oh, it's Choza-sensei! So cool, so youthful!" Might Guy looked at that person, his eyes burning with intense fire.
Seeing his teacher able to fight such a massive opponent made his blood boil.
Bang bang bang!
Choza was naturally no match for the Nine-Tailed. His massive body only restricted the Nine-Tailed's area attacks, preventing more civilian casualties.
Other ninjas also swarmed forward.
Shadow Imitation, Mind Body Switch Technique, a massive amount of explosive tags...
"Alright, let's go too."
Kakashi said.
"Yosh, burn, my fiery energy!" Might Guy.
Whoosh!
"Stop, you all gather at the assembly point."
However, as they prepared to act, a figure with a sword on his back blocked them.
"Hayama, why?"
"The Third Hokage's order."
Hayama said.
"We can also help."
Satoru said.
He could indeed help, just like Choza and the others, by slightly restraining it.
With his new Ninjutsu.
"This is an order."
Hayama said unequivocally.
"Tch, let's go. After all, it's an order, and the Third Hokage and the others have already arrived."
Satoru thought about how the Third Hokage and the others had arrived, and his abilities were still not as good as theirs.
He wasn't sure if his new genjutsu secret technique would be effective against the Nine-Tailed.
It was better not to cause trouble.
Might Guy and Kakashi, though disgruntled, followed Satoru to the assembly point.
"Ah, sh*t, Hayama. He made us leave, but he went to help himself."
Along the way, Might Guy complained constantly.
Satoru heard him and said, "Don't grumble, hurry to the assembly point. There might be other orders.
Besides, Hayama is already a Jonin. Although I don't know why Kakashi also has to leave!"
Kakashi didn't say much but looked back at the Nine-Tailed.
Soon, they arrived at the assembly point.
But to their disappointment, the order they received was to protect the residents, and they were not allowed to participate in the Nine-Tailed's subjugation.
Satoru sighed inwardly, but also felt relieved.
Protecting residents was also important work, although he wanted to test his newly developed secret technique on the Nine-Tailed.
The residents at this time were very chaotic.
Their faces were full of terror.
Satoru separated from Might Guy and the others to evacuate civilians in different areas.
But his perception was still focused on the battlefield.
At this time, the Third Hokage and several senior disciples had already appeared.
It was also the first time Satoru saw the two Advisors take action.
The Third Hokage's techniques, he had seen in the anime: five-element Ninjutsu, composite attacks, and Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, etc.
And Homura Mitokado was an eye-opener.
Countless giant weapons descended from the sky, temporarily suppressing the Nine-Tailed, and the scrolls in his hands also launched overwhelming attacks on the Nine-Tailed.
There were also explosive tags on them.
Making the Nine-Tailed suffer immensely.
Its nine tails also wagged even more wildly.
Even Danzo Shimura took action. The cutting power of his Wind Release also made the Nine-Tailed suffer, becoming increasingly violent.
And Utatane Koharu was responsible for support, such as medical Ninjutsu.
"Oh, this guy is like Tenten, a Ninja who specialises in Ninja tools."
He also noticed that the Sharingan in the Nine-Tailed's eyes had disappeared.
Presumably, the Fourth Hokage had taken action.
Even so, the attacks of many Ninja only served to restrain the Nine-Tailed.
The Third Hokage finally used the Summoning Jutsu, showcasing a famous scene.
The Adamantine Staff pierced the Nine-Tailed.
Stabbing the Nine-Tailed out of the Village.
