The morning mist-shrouded Konoha Hospital was broken by a series of hurried footsteps.
When the on-duty medical ninja looked up, he saw a blood-soaked Itachi Uchiha supporting a Shisui who had lost his right eye, bursting through the door.
“Quick! Emergency treatment!”
Itachi’s voice was as taut as a drawn bowstring.
Half of Shisui’s face was covered in dried blood, and a bloodied bandage was wrapped around his empty right eye socket.
Most shocking was the glass bottle he clutched tightly in his hand—inside which floated a scarlet Sharingan.
The medical team instantly erupted in chaos.
“It’s Shisui Uchiha!”
“His eyes… Oh my god!”
As the stretcher rolled down the hallway, Shisui quietly grabbed Itachi’s sleeve and whispered, “Follow the plan… say…”
Itachi nodded almost imperceptibly.
The Third Hokage’s pipe tapped out a crisp sound on his desk.
“You’re saying… Danzō attacked Shisui?”
Sunlight streamed through the window onto the old man’s face, every wrinkle holding a brewing storm.
Itachi knelt on one knee, his back ramrod straight.
“At three o’clock this morning, I found Senior Shisui downstream of the Naka River. At the time, Danzō-sama was ordering Root to seize his Sharingan.”
After a well-timed pause, Itachi took out a blood-stained scroll from his embrace.
“This was found on one of the Root members.”
The parchment clearly documented the detailed plan for the “Nine-Tails Chakra Induction Experiment,” with the “Root” seal at the end.
“They planned to release the Jinchūriki’s chakra near the Uchiha compound, creating the illusion of a riot…” Itachi’s voice grew softer.
“Senior Shisui overheard this plan, and that’s why…”
The Third Hokage’s palm suddenly shattered the corner of the desk!
The ashtray shook and fell to the ground, smashing into pieces.
The ANBU eavesdropping outside the office collectively shuddered.
It had been so many years since they had last seen the Third Hokage in such a rage.
After all, the Third Hokage had always been gentle, elegant, and kind, but he was so angry this time, which showed how furious he was.
Soon, in a special care ward, Shisui lay on the pale sheets, like a puppet drained of life.
When the Third Hokage pushed open the door, his remaining left eye struggled to focus.
“Hokage… sama…”
The Third Hokage stopped him from trying to salute, his gaze falling on that empty eye socket.
“The medical team said the best time for an eye transplant is…”
“Please listen to me first.”
Shisui suddenly grabbed the Third Hokage’s wrist, his grip surprisingly strong.
“Danzō wants to cause a second Nine-Tails rampage!”
The morning light outside the window was suddenly blocked by dark clouds.
Shisui trembled as he held up the glass bottle.
“He gouged out my eye… to use Kotoamatsukami to control the Jinchūriki.”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but look at the bottle containing his eye.
“Fortunately, Itachi was in time…”
When the Third Hokage took the bottle, he noticed the injuries on Shisui’s body that only Root members could inflict, and his gaze turned icy.
“Do you think…?”
Tears welled up in Shisui’s single eye.
“Save that child quickly… He’ll be turned into a weapon…”
This carefully crafted lie, like a poisoned kunai, pierced precisely into the Third Hokage’s most vulnerable memories.
As the old man turned, his Kage robes swirled with a resolute arc.
The ANBU in the hallway instantly knelt down.
“Issue a warrant for Shimura Danzō on charges of treason!” The Third Hokage’s voice made the windows hum.
“Search all Root bases!”
All the ANBU responded in unison and then disappeared in a Shunshin.
At the same time, the rising sun in the east was growing brighter, and the aura of life spread out from it.
Madara, controlling Naruto’s body, stood on a high cliff at the edge of the forest.
He looked down at the scattered Uchiha residences below, a cold curve on his lips.
“Let’s begin.”
“This is the only time!”
Hearing Madara’s order, the Nine-Tails began to release its chakra.
A large amount of scarlet chakra poured into Naruto’s body through the seal, and in an instant, Naruto exploded like ignited dynamite.
“Roar—!!!”
A deafening roar echoed through the clouds, and crimson chakra erupted from Naruto’s body like a volcanic eruption.
The violent energy storm instantly swept across a hundred meters, towering ancient trees uprooted, and the ground cracked like a spider web under the high temperature.
Naruto’s body was gradually enveloped in materialized chakra, forming a bone-chilling fox cloak.
His skin was burned off by the scorching chakra, revealing scarlet muscle tissue.
Four tails made of pure malice extended from his spine, each as thick as a giant serpent.
His facial bones twisted and deformed, canines elongated into fangs, and the corners of his mouth tore to his ears.
His original clear blue eyes were completely replaced by bestial vertical pupils, flowing with lava-like ferocity.
“Four-Tails state… is enough.”
Madara sensed this violent power and precisely controlled the range of destruction.
He deliberately retained a trace of reason, making this “rampage” look both real and controllable.
“Alright, the show begins!”
A chakra tail swept across, and the Uchiha’s training ground was instantly leveled.
Wooden targets turned to ashes in the high temperature, and the ground of the shuriken practice area was plowed into three-meter deep furrows.
The second tail slammed into the outer wall of the compound, and the thick stone wall shattered like paper.
Amidst the flying rubble, several patrolling Uchiha ninjas were blown away by the shockwave.
“Enemy attack! The Nine-Tails Jinchūriki is on a rampage!”
The shrill whistle of the Police Force sounded, and the Uchiha clan instantly fell into chaos.
Women and children were evacuated urgently under the escort of ninjas, while well-trained combat personnel quickly assembled.
As Fugaku rushed out of the clan head’s mansion, he saw a scene like the end of the world:
Naruto, in his Four-Tails form, was causing havoc in the center of the clan grounds.
Even more terrifying was that the small figure was moving towards the shrine.
“All units, listen up!” Fugaku’s Mangekyō Sharingan instantly activated.
“Form a defensive formation, prioritize the protection of women and children!”
Suddenly, his voice stopped.
Because, amidst the burning ruins of buildings, a bandaged figure was coldly observing the disaster.
At the same time, Madara, controlling Naruto’s body, was performing a meticulously planned destruction show at the Uchiha compound.
The Four-Tails Naruto, with fire and lightning trailing, rushed to the plaza in front of the shrine.
He slammed all four of his tails onto the Uchiha clan crest.
With a “crack,” the stone monument, passed down for a hundred years, split in two under the high temperature.
The immense impact shattered the shrine along the way.
However, this strike deliberately avoided the location of the underground entrance.
However, before the Konoha Police Force could breathe a sigh of relief, the Four-Tails Naruto condensed his chakra into a sphere and sprayed it into the air.
The rain of chakra spheres ignited some buildings.
However, the scope of these explosions was controlled within a diameter of ten meters, and the destroyed houses were all ones from which the occupants had already been evacuated.
“Quick! Stop him!”
But the Konoha Police Force members who came to suppress the Four-Tails Naruto were unaware of this.
The leader was shouting loudly.
After roaring at the sky, the Four-Tails Naruto rushed out, using all his limbs.
He also used his tails to knock down utility poles along the way, causing chaos.
Numerous buildings were destroyed en route, and terrifying claw marks were left on the main roads.
However, Madara’s performative destruction annoyed the Nine-Tails greatly.
The Nine-Tails flicked its tail unhappily.
“Hmph, wasting my power like this?”
Madara sneered.
“Mangy fox, there will be plenty of opportunities later.”
In a corner, Naruto’s consciousness worriedly watched the scene outside.
“Dad, those people who are fleeing…”
“Don’t worry,” Madara explained uncharacteristically.
“I avoided all living people.”
Meanwhile, when Fugaku chased the figure of “Danzō” to the Naka Shrine, he saw a scene that made his blood run cold.
“Danzō” was standing on the shrine’s roof, his right hand maintaining some kind of control jutsu, while his left hand held a strange device.
Even more terrifying was that the device was emitting fluctuations that resonated with the Nine-Tails’ chakra!
“For the future of Konoha, the Uchiha must be purged.”
“Danzō’s” voice was chillingly cold.
Fugaku’s Mangekyō spun wildly.
“You madman!”
