The Nine-tails stared at Uchiha Obito with a fierce gaze, wishing to crush him to dust with a Tailed Beast Ball.
Such an egomaniacally dangerous Uchiha...
Actually wanting to seal it within the Gedo Statue!
Though the Nine-tails was unclear how Uchiha Obito knew these secrets about the Ten-tails, just his attempt to resurrect the Ten-tails was enough for the fox to designate him as a life-and-death enemy.
"I... I understand now, Aomi and Kurama!"
Naruto took a deep breath and nodded slowly, "I'm going! If I fear this masked man even with you two supporting me, how can I avenge my parents?"
"Aomi, I know you could easily handle this masked man and want to help me with vengeance... but could you give me a chance to personally deal with him in the future?"
"Alright, I promise you, Naruto." Aomi smiled with relief, agreeing to Naruto's request.
For Aomi, the survival of Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi was irrelevant.
But their existence could catalyze Naruto's intrinsic drive for power, which was crucial...
Naruto expressing his desire to personally deal with Uchiha Obito was already a success.
The child's confidence and courage were being galvanized!
Receiving Aomi's approval, Naruto took a deep breath, recalling the Instant Body Technique Aomi taught him, and leapt from under the eaves, landing in front of Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi—
"Stop, what are you doing!" Naruto shouted loudly.
Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi were startled.
Shouting like this would wake those sleeping clansmen with ninja reflexes!
Uchiha Obito's eyes flashed with a rush of hand seals, and an unknown barrier swiftly enveloped the vicinity, obscuring Naruto's shout.
"Who are you?" Uchiha Obito turned with killing intent, and upon seeing Naruto's face, was momentarily stunned, then flooded with a wave of joy!
How did a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki suddenly fall from the sky?
It was known that this was the Uchiha Clan Land, typically under the watch and protection of numerous Anbu, including sensing, sealing, and combat elites.
If he rashly attacked Naruto, it would inevitably be discovered, even if he had Kamui.
So Uchiha Obito refrained from attacking Naruto in his childhood to avoid provoking Konoha's fury and even the Ninja World's siege, waiting quietly for Akatsuki to mature.
But the problem was...
On this night of clan extermination, where would Anbu appear?
To prevent the blame for the Uchiha extermination from falling on Konoha, Uchiha Itachi's agreement with the Third Hokage was to not involve Anbu during the act...
The final clean-up was left for diverse ninja testimonies to lay the Uchiha's destruction solely on Uchiha Itachi, ensuring Konoha's Will of Fire would not face excessive doubt—
"This was merely a Uchiha's insane pursuit of power, not Konoha eliminating rivals."
Uchiha Obito's Kamui Mangekyo power surged, scanning the surroundings, confirming absence of a single Anbu...
This was a golden opportunity.
Clearly, this was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki sneaking out, colliding with the night of clan extermination...
If he seized Naruto now, even if Uchiha Itachi betrayed him exposing his existence, would the Third Hokage believe an Uchiha's lies?
Absolutely not!
Uchiha Obito's eyes flared with killing intent, just like the frenzy during the assault on Konoha seven years ago, his body darted like lightning, charging straight at Naruto!
Meanwhile, Uchiha Itachi felt his heart sink upon seeing Naruto...
This damned Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, why isn't he following village orders, appearing at such a perilous moment before such dangerous Uchiha!
Though Uchiha Itachi could slaughter his way through Konoha's Uchiha, he knew he couldn't handle this one-eyed Uchiha before him...
The Nine-tails was an important asset to Konoha, it must not be taken by outsiders!
And Uchiha Obito's actions clearly harbored malicious intent towards the Nine-tails.
In this instant, Uchiha Itachi's thoughts collided violently...
"This guy must want to control the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki! If the Nine-tails goes berserk now, replicating the Night of Nine-tails, the village would suffer significant losses!"
Uchiha Itachi clenched his teeth, he was nearly certain, the instigator of the Night of Nine-tails was the mysterious Uchiha before him.
After all, as Anbu Squad Captain, Uchiha Itachi could access some confidential intelligence—same masked, single-eyed, same Mangekyo...
"He has one eye, but I possess a complete Sharingan... A pair of Sharingan is needed to unleash perfect power. In a battle of dojutsu, I won't lose to him!"
So thought Uchiha Itachi, his body erupting like Uchiha Obito, the Mangekyo's red light slicing through the night sky like blood, charging towards Naruto!
Uchiha Itachi aimed to seize control of the Nine-tails with his Mangekyo before Uchiha Obito!
He had Dojutsu: Tsukuyomi...
Once he forcibly utilized a strong genjutsu over the Nine-tails, Uchiha Obito would be unable to seize control...
But from Naruto's perspective, it was left and right, two Uchiha Mangekyo wielding Samurai Swords filled with killing intent, cold dojutsu violently bursting forth, attacking him in the center!
As if intending to impale him from both sides with their blades!
Naruto stood still, feeling the invisible ocular power pressing his body, the sharp winds of Samurai Swords slicing through the air...
Experiencing firsthand the despair and helplessness faced by the slain Uchiha clansmen.
"Never again will I ever experience such a painful feeling!" Naruto screamed hysterically within:
"Aomi, I understand! I need power, I want power!"
"Not a problem, Naruto, you've done exceptionally well, now just relax..."
Aomi raised his eyebrows, solemnly chanting as if conducting a ritual, "something for nothing—from Naruto's power, loading Senju Tobirama's power fusion!"
The Nine-tails, though unaware, watched Aomi, committing this phrase to memory, pondering, "If I might loan Chakra to Naruto in the future, perhaps I could cosplay Aomi-sensei like this and shout out loud..."
At this moment.
Naruto relaxed immensely, eyes closed, appearing to Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito as if fainting from a fright.
Upon seeing this, Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi accelerated their pace.
But in the next moment.
Naruto suddenly opened his eyes, their sharpness akin to razors.
"Two little Mangekyo brats, is Konoha a place for your mischief?" Naruto's voice was deep, echoing a certain white-haired individual's similar tone:
"Childish!"
Simultaneously, Naruto rapidly formed hand seals, instantly unleashing a whole field of darkness, engulfing Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi...
"Genjutsu: Darkness Path Jutsu!"
Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito were both stunned, abruptly halting.
What is happening?
Wasn't the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki supposed to be a dead last, how could he possibly wield genjutsu targeting the Uchiha Clan!
Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi didn't have time to think, their vision lost, their ocular powers intensified, forcibly dispelling the darkness before them.
But immediately, countless water needles rose from the ground, piercing through their bodies!
This blood-soaked clan land finally claimed the blood of Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito, both of them retreating in shock, staring at Naruto with disbelief.
What is truly going on here?
How does the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki wield such seasoned Water Release and genjutsu against the Uchiha...
Uchiha Obito's heart raced, an ominous premonition surged, initially believing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki as an unexpected joy, now feeling like a mantis catching a cicada?
Despite Namikaze Minato and Kushina's deaths...
Why does Konoha's waters seem to have deepened!
