Now reading: Chapter 26: Rampage from Konoha: The Man Who Became the Fourth Hokage, a Action novel by DarkVerse.

Almost instantly, the Nine-Tails' chakra began to surge wildly through Kyusei's ridians.

The Nine-Tails had been preparing for this mont for a very long ti.

Now, thanks to a freak accident—Namikaze Minato using Flying Thunder God to pull both Kyusei and Kushina out of the sealing barrier—it had seized this once-in-a-lifeti opportunity without hesitation.

Pain.

So much pain.

Unbearable pain.

Kyusei felt as though he had been thrown into a boiling cauldron. His entire body burned from the inside out, agony flooding every nerve.

And along with the pain, a voice echoed endlessly in his mind.

Look…

They imprisoned you…

Locked you inside this cage…

They pretend it's for your own good—

But in truth, they're only afraid of our power…

Co.

Let's destroy it.

Destroy them.

Destroy Konoha.

Destroy this disgusting village!!

Kyusei clutched his head tightly, desperately holding onto the last shred of clarity he had left. Staggering, almost crawling, he forced himself toward the outside.

No…

Not here.

I can't rampage here…

This is a residential area…

If I lose control here, it's over.

So many people will die…

As far as I can get…

Even one step farther…

Seeing Kyusei sway unsteadily, his posture barely holding together, Wave instinctively thought he was sick. She hurried forward, reaching out to support him.

But a hand pressed firmly down on her shoulder.

Namikaze Minato stared at the struggling child with a grave, shocked expression.

That chakra—

There was no mistaking it.

It was the Nine-Tails.

Minato's own son, Namikaze nma, was a jinchūriki. He knew this chakra better than anyone.

To suppress the Nine-Tails purely through one's own will…

This child—

Though Minato didn't yet understand why this child was a jinchūriki, he knew one thing for certain:

He had made a terrible mistake.

"Wave, don't go over there,"

Minato said softly.

"Leave this to ."

But Wave stood frozen, staring at the boy dragging himself away, his movents desperate and broken. Her azure eyes trembled with panic.

Sharp as she was, the signs were impossible to miss—the unstable posture, the suffocating, ominous chakra filling the air.

She rembered what the Third Hokage had once told her.

Kyusei didn't just carry the Nine-Tails…

He carried the weight of the entire village.

Tears welled up and spilled from Wave's eyes.

She had known the Nine-Tails was powerful—terrifyingly so—but only now, feeling that chakra firsthand, did she truly understand.

So this…

This is the Nine-Tails…

Kyusei…

You've been enduring this pain alone all this ti…

How…

How did you even manage to do it…?

Wave took a step forward instinctively—

And in that instant, Kyusei let out a feral, beast-like roar toward the sky!

The violent howl shattered every window in the surrounding residential area!

A massive wave of chakra erupted from Kyusei's body, condensing into a tangible shroud that completely engulfed him!

Impossible?!

He skipped the chakra-cloak stage entirely and jumped straight into the Four-Tails state!

Minato stared in horror at the spherical mass of chakra before him, his heart sinking.

He had handled many ergency Nine-Tails rampages before.

But every ti, nma would first go through the one-tail, two-tail, three-tail cloak stages—only then approaching four tails.

Once a jinchūriki reached four tails, their danger level skyrocketed.

But this—

This was the first ti Minato had ever seen sothing like this.

There was only one explanation.

This child was innately compatible with the Nine-Tails.

His body could accept the Nine-Tails' power far too smoothly.

For a jinchūriki, that was both a blessing and a curse.

The blessing: mastering the tailed beast's power would be easier.

The curse: before that mastery, once the beast rampaged, it could seize control of the body with terrifying ease.

The Nine-Tails' rampage instantly alerted Konoha.

Red signal flares exploded one after another in the night sky.

Level One Alert.

Minato looked up at the flares, his expression darkening.

This is really…

A disaster.

"Kushina, assist ,"

Minato said instinctively to his wife.

But then he noticed—sothing was wrong.

Kushina stood frozen, staring at the black chakra sphere. Tears flowed uncontrollably from her clear gray-brown eyes.

She felt it.

The pain this child was enduring.

So that's how it is…

No wonder his chakra was identical to hers.

No wonder he felt so much like herself.

I see now…

This child is .

Kushina could clearly sense it—

Even while suffering pain like boiling water pouring over his body, Kyusei's only thought was to escape sowhere far from crowded areas.

"Minato,"

Kushina wiped away her tears and spoke firmly.

"We need to save him."

"…Yes,"

Minato replied just as resolutely.

"That's exactly what I intend to do."

Cracks—white, jagged fissures—spread across the pitch-black chakra sphere, like a chick breaking free from its shell.

As the fractures multiplied, a crimson, bestial claw burst out—no longer human in shape at all!

"Now!"

Minato shouted, disappearing in a flash.

"Adamantine Sealing Chains!"

Kushina's gaze hardened. Her hands flew through seals as dozens of golden chains erupted from her body, forming a vast net that surged toward Kyusei—now fully transford into a small Four-Tails Nine-Tails—from all directions!

She had long since mastered Adamantine Sealing Chains. Normally, seals weren't even necessary.

But this ti, she did form them.

Because a version activated with hand seals was far stronger than one without.

"ROAR!!!"

The four-tailed Nine-Tails let out a furious howl, swinging its beast-like claws.

A violent gale erupted from nowhere, and the golden chains actually showed signs of being blown apart!

Kushina's expression sharpened. She forcefully stabilized the chains, and they shot forward like arrows loosed from a bow!

At the sa ti, Minato perfectly synchronized with his wife.

A massive Rasengan ford in his hand—

And he slamd it down onto the Nine-Tails' back!

Pain!

So much pain!
