Obito stood atop a building in Konoha, gazing at the village he once loved—now devoid of any emotion.
""
With a single hand seal, the Nine-Tailed Fox, previously rampaging behind Hokage Rock, was summoned to the heart of Konoha.
Obito's ability to summon the Nine-Tails should be related to Madara Uchiha. Madara Uchiha once forcibly turned the Nine-Tails into his summoning beast in order to deal with Hashirama Senju.
Then, Madara Uchiha and the Nine-Tails were both beaten to a pulp by Hashirama Senju.
Looking at the raging Nine-Tails, Obito used his Mangekyō Sharingan to control it.
Normally, a single Mangekyō Sharingan wouldn't be enough to control the Nine-Tails, but Obito, having Hashirama's cells, possessed amplified ocular power—enough to exert temporary control.
——
"Finally. I've been waiting so long"
Shin, Kushina, and i Terumī sat atop the Hokage Rock, observing the rampaging Nine-Tails.
"So that's the Nine-Tails. I wonder how strong it is?" i Terumī asked curiously, staring at the massive beast.
"Average. I could crush it without even using my hands," Shin replied casually.
"It does look scary, but I could probably beat it up," Kushina added, echoing Shin's confidence.
"If you two say so, then I guess I could probably fight it to a draw," i Terumī said, trying to join in.
Shin looked at her and shook his head.
"You're overestimating yourself. Kushina could probably beat the Nine-Tails, but you'd get crushed."
"You don't think I could win?" i Terumī gave him a challenging look.
"The Nine-Tails is the strongest of the Tailed Beasts. Don't underestimate it," Shin explained, chuckling softly.
Kushina could handle the Nine-Tails because of her Sealing Jutsu—the Uzumaki Clan's powerful techniques, combined with her strength, made subduing the beast possible.
i Terumī, however, lacked that advantage. Lava Release and Boil Release were effective against humans, but not Tailed Beasts. Even with Sage Mode, she will struggle against the Nine-Tails.
"Fine, whatever you say." i Terumī looked down, though she clearly wasn't convinced.
"It seems that Obito Uchiha is still showing rcy to Konoha." Shin observed—watching the Nine-Tails rampage.
If Obito used a Tailed Beast Ball now, Konoha would suffer devastating losses. No one could defend against it at this mont, and the villagers hadn't evacuated yet.
It would be the perfect ti to strike—yet Obito hadn't. Shin suspected he still had so lingering attachnt to Konoha.
"We'll just watch from here. It's safe here."
No sooner had he spoken than the Nine-Tails roared, gathering Yin and Yang Chakra into a black sphere before swallowing it whole and unleashing a massive chakra beam directly at—the Hokage Rock.
"...."
"What the hell? A Tailed Beast Bomb?" Shin cursed under his breath. He'd just said it was safe, and now they were being targeted.
He could feel Kushina and i Terumī staring at him, which made him slightly embarrassed.
"I told you—it's safe here."
Black chakra enveloped them, forming a massive, armored Susanoo that effortlessly blocked the Tailed Beast Bomb.
"See? Perfectly safe." Shin grinned at Kushina and i Terumī from within the Susanoo.
"It is, indeed." i Terumī looked at Shin's Susanoo with envy. She wished she had such a powerful—versatile technique.
Why wasn't she an Uchiha? With her talent, she was certain she could awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Of course, awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan required more than just talent.
"Why would the Nine-Tails attack us? Is Obito controlling it?" Kushina was furious. This felt like an unprovoked attack; she wanted payback.
"I'm not sure. Did Obito spot ?" Shin wondered.
He didn't think Obito could see them from his current location. It was night; Obito was too far away.
Obito was indeed unaware of Shin's presence.
He had targeted the Hokage Rock because it was an important symbol of Konoha, a representation of the village's spirit and history. He wanted to destroy it.
However, his Tailed Beast Bomb had no effect—blocked by sothing unseen. Obito didn't have ti to investigate. Minato had arrived. Facing the furious Hokage, Obito was struggling.
——
"Who exactly are you? Why are you wearing a mask?" Minato Namikaze asked coldly.
Minato and Obito were currently facing off in an abandoned training ground. Obito had fled there, with Minato in pursuit.
Obito remained silent—he couldn't reveal his identity.
"I am…Uchiha Madara."
He used Madara's na once more, and Minato froze, startled.
"Uchiha Madara?"
Minato stared at him intently. Uchiha Madara was dead—a fact known throughout the Shinobi world.
Even if he was still alive, he must be very old. The masked man was clearly young, so Minato didn't believe him.
Glancing at the rampaging Nine-Tails, Minato decided to capture the masked man first; then he'd learn the truth.
He threw a Flying Thunder God Kunai, but Obito didn't dodge, letting it pass right through him. Minato teleported behind Obito and attacked with the Rasengan, but the attack phased through Obito, harmless.
"Space-Ti Ninjutsu?"
