Chapter 13: Tanzō vs. Little Nine - Tailed Fox Form of Naruto

The moment Naruto's Nine - Tailed Fox chakra erupted, it was detected by Konoha's sensor system and defensive barrier.

"This is impossible! Isn't the Nine - Tailed Fox sealed? Why does it appear again?"

"Third Hokage! Hurry to inform the Third Hokage!"

The whole scene was in chaos. The ninjas who sensed it in advance notified their clans one by one. The originally peaceful Konoha Village became noisy.

"Lord Fugaku, there's a problem. The people from the Sensor Division reported that the Nine - Tailed Fox is not far from here. What should we do now?"

"The Nine - Tailed Fox! Wasn't that thing sealed by the Fourth Hokage? Why does it appear again?"

Fugaku Uchiha looked solemn. Today's clan gathering was originally a pre - coup meeting, but unexpectedly, the Nine - Tailed Fox appeared at this critical moment. The last time that demon fox appeared, it caused huge casualties.

And now it appears again, not far from this gathering. Not to mention how the Uchiha clan should deal with it, but any ninja who can sense the appearance of the Nine - Tailed Fox will come here immediately. Maybe all the Konoha ninjas will mobilize, and the coup definitely can't go on.

Hearing this, Itachi looked worriedly in the direction where the Nine - Tailed Fox appeared. Where was Sasuke? Sasuke had gone somewhere the whole day. Now that there was such a big trouble in the village, was he still safe?

But he couldn't get away in this situation.

"Lord Fugaku, I've already sensed that the Third Hokage and the Anbu ninjas are coming this way."

So soon! No, he couldn't hesitate anymore.

"Everyone, listen to me. Many of you here must know the purpose of this gathering, but the Nine - Tailed Fox came too suddenly. All the ninjas are rushing here. At this time, we must unite with the village to deal with the Nine - Tailed Fox, otherwise we'll easily become the target of public criticism. At that time, it's hard to say whether we can even keep our own lives."

The young people below also felt the tense atmosphere. Now was really not the best time for a coup. If they don't solve the problem of the Nine - Tailed Fox, even if they captured Konoha, it would be of no use in the end.

"Yes!"

Even Fugaku Uchiha didn't dare to claim that he could fight against the entire Konoha clan.

"Now, half of the young people in the clan will go with me, and the other half will stay to guard."

"Yes!"

"Itachi, you also stay and take good care of your mother."

"Father, where's Sasuke? I haven't seen him all the time. What if he goes in front of the Nine - Tailed Fox out of playfulness? Let me go with you as well!"

"Husband, I'm also worried about Sasuke. Let Itachi go with you. He can help you out."

Looking into his son's stubborn and determined eyes, he knew he couldn't talk this stubborn boy around. He sighed helplessly.

"Okay, come with me. Remember to keep yourself safe!"

"Yeah!"

.....................

At this moment, Naruto's form had completely turned into that of a little Nine - Tailed Fox. The scarlet chakra covered his whole body, making it impossible to recognize his original human appearance.

Four tails, like meat grinders, flattened the surrounding area, revealing the bare mountains.

He glared fiercely at Tanzō and plunged four tails as sharp as knives into the ground. Blue and red Chakra gathered around his mouth like droplets of water. In just a few moments, it grew to a terrifying size.

With a roar, he lunged forward with his whole body.

The huge Tailed Beast Ball smashed towards Tanzō like a cannonball.

"Protect Lord Tanzō!"

Following that, the members began to form Hand Seals.

Fire Release: Four - Corner Sealing Barrier

Water Release: Water Formation Wall

A red Chakra wall rose around Tanzō, wrapping him tightly without leaving any gaps. In front of him, a defensive wall made of Water Release ensured he wouldn't be harmed in the slightest.

But obviously, they underestimated Naruto in his four - tailed Tailed Beast form.

The Tailed Beast Ball contained an astonishing amount of Chakra, far beyond what this small barrier could withstand.

A flash of cyan light passed, and the barrier shattered like paper, leaving not even a trace. Tanzō, at the very center, was pierced through the heart by the Tailed Beast Ball. The Root members guarding him were either killed or injured in the explosion, and no one could stay by his side anymore.

"Pfft"

His eyes trembled in disbelief as he stared at the monster in front of him. He spat out a large mouthful of blood, and the raging anger in his eyes seemed to turn into something tangible.

Originally, his flawless plan had been disrupted by this brat. He had sacrificed so many people, and he was seriously injured himself, yet he had no way to deal with Naruto in front of him.

He shouldn't have listened to the Third Hokage and left Naruto alone back then. Instead, he should have kept him under his close surveillance!

But it was too late to say these things now. Taking advantage of his last moment of consciousness, he used a life - saving skill.

Izanagi

In the blink of an eye, he appeared unscathed not far from where he was just now. There wasn't even a single scratch on his body, let alone the large pool of blood he had just spat out.

Only the look in his eyes when he glanced at Naruto was still as vicious and terrifying as ever.

"Damn demon fox, I will repay this humiliation a hundredfold."

After saying that, he tried to turn around and leave, but Naruto wouldn't let him off so easily! Naruto in his Nine - Tailed form let out a tearing scream and continuously gathered Chakra to fire powerful Tailed Beast Balls in rapid succession.

The lightning - fast attacks made it impossible for Tanzō to dodge.

He could only grit his teeth in hatred and be pierced through the body by Naruto's attacks again and again in his unwillingness and resentment.

Naruto was like a cat playing with a mouse. He toyed with Tanzō. Every time he saw Tanzō recover, he wasn't discouraged at all; instead, he got even more excited.

He lashed his four huge tails and charged towards Tanzō. His sharp claws and teeth continuously tore and gnawed at Tanzō's mortal flesh.

No matter how powerful Izanagi was, its number of uses was limited!

The Sharingan eyes transplanted on his Senju - celled arm were almost used up. He lowered his head and looked at the last remaining eye.

This was his last trump card for survival. If it was used up, he would really be in a desperate situation.

Nine-Tailed Fox Naruto watched Tanzō, full of hatred but helpless against him. His intense and ear-piercing laughter spread out like a sonic bullet, giving the half-dead Tanzō a heavy blow.

He collapsed to the ground. The muddy dust dragged this most powerful man in Konoha back to reality.

Watching energetic Naruto slowly approaching him, Tanzō's originally dull eyes flashed with a glint of light.
