In other words, it's about to go berserk!
Under this emergency situation, following Sarutobi Hiruzen's order that "the Night of the Nine-tails must never be repeated," various Anbu forcefully entered from the main door, through the windows, using Earth Release from beneath the floor, from above the ceiling, pouring in from all directions.
In an instant.
The elite Anbu appeared in Naruto's small room in formation.
Some were forming hand seals, while others held large sealing scrolls...
At this moment.
Although Naruto's posture seemed very common and not like he was about to go berserk...
The instantly shocked expression on Sarutobi Hiruzen was the best signal for the Anbu to take action!
If Naruto didn't have a special situation, how could the Third Hokage act this way?
It must be the chaos caused by the Nine-tails!
Naruto's gaze turned sharp like a blade as the Anbu approached him! His ocean-like green eyes reflected an even colder chill than the crimson Sharingan...
Sarutobi Hiruzen stared directly into Naruto's eyes, becoming more and more certain in his heart.
That's it...
This is definitely it!
Naruto and the Nine-tails exchanged a glance as they were operated by Aomi, feeling somewhat embarrassed as they lowered their heads.
Both were not nervous because with the strength Aomi displayed, at least basic safety could be guaranteed.
It was just that things seemed to have gone awry, and Naruto and the Nine-tails didn't want to embarrass Aomi, choosing to stay silent while thoughtfully considering — how to compliment Aomi after he uses his power to break through the encirclement, to make Aomi feel better?
Aomi initially intended to win without fighting, to present a standard of clever strategy teaching to the two...
But it seemed counterproductive, forcing Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Anbu to take action!
The Nine-tails and Naruto were whispering to themselves.
Although Aomi failed, it didn't affect his prestige in the hearts of the human and the fox... because honestly, Naruto's situation was indeed a dead end; without using force to break it, there really was no good method...
After all, the opponent was a seasoned Hokage who had governed Konoha for forty years.
How could he possibly change his view of Naruto significantly or actively distance himself just because of a few words, a couple of changes in demeanor, and some inexplicable remarks?
You have to understand, Naruto was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki... No village wouldn't keep a strict watch, it's inevitable...
Indeed...
Without using the Nine-tailed Chakra, just two sentences managed to shock Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the Anbu around him responded promptly, making Naruto and the Nine-tails feel that Aomi's lesson was not a failure, just a mistake in direction...
And at this moment.
Naruto, with arms crossed, slightly raised a finger on one hand resting on his arm... His eyes gleamed with a murderous intent cold as the deep sea!
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head, recalling countless times seeing such a scene. He yelled suddenly, "Stop everything!!"
The Anbu halted their actions as commanded.
Yet due to the urgency of the situation, one Anbu holding a sealing scroll tried hard to stop but was still drawn towards Naruto due to inertia.
Naruto slightly tilted his head, giving the Anbu a disdainful glance, and let out a cold laugh.
Hearing the familiar laughter, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt his scalp tingle as if reverting to a summer of punishment training at eighteen, under Senju Tobirama's torment, swiftly using Instant Body technique to stand before the Anbu, his small body like a nimble ape, pulling the Anbu back to prevent him from colliding with Naruto...
Or, more precisely, from colliding with his teacher Senju Tobirama!
"Get out, all of you! Without orders from me, no one is allowed to approach this room. Implement special-level lockdown, disperse everyone nearby!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen commanded the stunned Anbu with intense seriousness, "Remember, no approach, under any circumstance, unless I give explicit instructions!"
The Anbu were baffled...
What's going on? Is the Hokage really going to take on the demon fox alone?
You really don't have that level of strength!
Did you forget what happened during the Night of the Nine-tails years ago, Third Hokage?
But given Sarutobi Hiruzen's prestige and the fact that Naruto seemed normal now, the Anbu obediently followed orders, evacuating the room quickly, repairing the broken house with Earth Release as they left...
Both the Nine-tails and Naruto were utterly dumbfounded, exchanging bewildered glances.
What's happening?
Just a change in the tone of a few statements, gaze variations, and some actions led Sarutobi Hiruzen to reveal the Anbu and then scold them into retreat...
How did Aomi accomplish this?
Even Kaguya within Aomi couldn't comprehend...
It wouldn't be surprising if Aomi used Genjutsu, or simulated Senju Tobirama's Chakra.
This would be easy for Aomi.
But the issue was, Aomi never used even a shred of Chakra from beginning to end, only executing expressions and tones that theoretically Naruto, the Nine-tails, or Kaguya might emulate...
It was purely technique, not a disparity in power.
It could also be intellectual disparity.
But what they didn't realize was... as the former Jinchuriki of Tobirama, especially after completing the final confrontation, Aomi's comprehension of Senju Tobirama could be considered supreme.
If he wanted to mimic Senju Tobirama...
