Seeing that man appear, the ninja of Konoha were stunned.
Who is that?
Sakura Haruno: "What the—?! Dad?!!"
Sakura stared at the energetic man on the screen in disbelief.
Isn't that my dad?
Wait… is that really my dad? Or just someone who looks like him?
The Screen Continues
Seeing the newcomer, the Third Hokage finally relaxed.
"Phew… Kizashi, you're here."
"Yeah. Leave the rest to us."
Another man stepped forward as well—a stern-looking man with a square jaw and sharp chin.
"Fugaku."
"Understood, Lord Third. The Uchiha Clan has already followed Elder Danzō's instructions and set up an ambush around the outskirts of the village."
Just then, a handsome blond man with a bright, confident aura appeared before them.
"Good work, everyone. I've already driven away the mastermind behind this. Now we just need to deal with the Nine-Tails. I'll teleport it away first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Minato Namikaze suddenly appeared beside the Nine-Tails.
Grabbing the massive beast—
Both man and tailed beast vanished instantly.
A short while later, Minato reappeared in front of the group.
Kizashi Haruno and Fugaku Uchiha stepped forward.
Fugaku spoke first.
"The coordinates are set, Minato."
Kizashi grinned excitedly.
"Hahaha! It's been a long time since the three of us fought together. Let's have a good one today!"
Minato nodded.
"Kizashi. Fugaku. Let's go."
With that, Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique and disappeared with the two of them.
Watching this, Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand decisively.
"Konoha's ANBU and jōnin—move out with me! Chūnin and genin, protect the civilians!"
"Yes, sir!" ×N
Holding his Adamantine Staff, Hiruzen led the group toward the designated battlefield.
Reactions Across the Ninja World
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Something's wrong… extremely wrong."
Kizashi Haruno: "Wait—was that really me?! I'm just an ordinary civilian living a peaceful life!"
Fugaku Uchiha: "I fought as well? And the Uchiha Clan set traps under Danzō's orders? Are my eyes deceiving me?"
Minato Namikaze: "This world feels… strange."
Shikaku Nara: "Could it be that Nagi was transported to a world that resembles ours, but isn't exactly the same?"
Also… was it just his imagination, or did he just see a slightly overweight man with clear eyes who looked suspiciously like himself?
No. Impossible.
Must be a hallucination.
Shikaku had already noticed something unusual—but he absolutely refused to acknowledge it.
Tobirama Senju: "That seems to be the case."
The Screen Continues
Somewhere in the forests outside Konoha.
Danzō and members of the security force lay in ambush.
Suddenly—
The enormous figure of the Nine-Tails appeared before them.
Danzō immediately gave the order.
"Attack!"
"Yes!" ×N
The security force formed squads of six.
Within each squad, five members surrounded one ninja in the center, forming a pentagram formation.
Four squads stood at the north, south, east, and west around the Nine-Tails.
Black sealing patterns appeared beneath their feet, expanding into intricate symbols.
The chakra of the five surrounding members flowed into the one in the center.
Twenty-four ninja shouted simultaneously:
"Combination Ninjutsu: Four Violet Flames Formation!"
A massive rectangular barrier of translucent crimson flames instantly formed, trapping the Nine-Tails inside.
The Nine-Tails roared in surprise and slashed the barrier with its claw—
But the red flames burned its paw.
The beast howled in pain.
Enraged, it gathered a Tailed Beast Ball.
But when the attack struck the barrier, the only result was the barrier swelling violently.
Instead, the explosion ended up injuring the Nine-Tails itself.
Watching this, Danzō nodded in approval.
"As expected of the formation developed by Kushina and Tsunade. Though its durability and duration are inferior to the real Four Violet Flames Formation, it's more than enough to contain the Nine-Tails."
At that moment—
Minato and the other two arrived.
Minato entered Sage Mode.
Fugaku activated his Mangekyō Sharingan.
And Kizashi Haruno roared:
"Strength of a Hundred Technique!"
His muscles instantly swelled as his chakra surged.
Within moments, he transformed into a towering muscle-bound giant over two meters tall.
Kizashi charged first—
Like a human tank, he slammed directly into the Nine-Tails.
Caught completely off guard, the Nine-Tails was knocked to the ground.
Kizashi grabbed one of its tails and roared.
"RAAAAH!"
BOOM!
He executed a perfect shoulder throw, flipping the massive Nine-Tails over his back.
Seizing the opportunity, Minato leapt into the air above the beast.
In his hand formed a Rasengan nearly half the size of the Nine-Tails itself.
"Sage Art: Massive Rasengan!"
The giant Rasengan smashed into the Nine-Tails' abdomen.
The beast screamed in agony.
"Now!"
Fugaku seized the moment.
"Mangekyō Sharingan — Genjutsu!"
The Nine-Tails instantly fell under his control.
Reactions
Ōnoki: "A beautiful coordinated attack."
Tobirama Senju: "A combined ninjutsu version of the Four Violet Flames Formation… this world is quite interesting."
Fugaku Uchiha: "Why do I get the feeling the Uchiha Clan and Danzō have a… good relationship here?"
Danzō Shimura: "Slander! Absolute slander! How could I possibly cooperate with the evil Uchiha Clan—"
Tsunade: "Now I understand why Sakura has such incredible chakra control. Turns out you were hiding quite a lot, Kizashi."
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Kizashi, it seems you have real talent as a ninja."
Kizashi Haruno: "Uh… Lords Hokage… that's really not me. I'm just an ordinary civilian."
Sakura Haruno: "..."
At this point, Sakura didn't even know how to look at her father anymore.
That mountain of muscle had completely shocked both her and her mother.
The Screen Continues
Soon after—
The Third Hokage arrived with Kushina Uzumaki.
"Minato! Now's your chance—seal the Nine-Tails again!"
"I know."
Minato rapidly formed hand seals.
"Eight Trigrams Seal!"
The enormous Nine-Tails was gradually sealed back into Kushina.
Kushina clenched her teeth, sweat pouring down her face in pain.
Once the sealing was complete—
Tsunade, wearing glasses, rushed over and began examining Kushina with Medical Ninjutsu.
After a moment, she spoke seriously.
"It's fine. Kushina is no longer in danger. She's simply extremely weak. After some rest, she'll recover."
Hearing this, everyone sighed in relief.
The Four Violet Flames Formation dispersed.
The Third Hokage then spoke.
"Good work, everyone. Return to the village and begin repairing the damage caused by the Nine-Tails. We'll discuss the incident tomorrow. Right now, rescuing the injured is the priority."
"Yes!" ×N
Reactions
Minato Namikaze: "…Wait. That's it?"
Kushina Uzumaki: "So… Minato and I didn't die?"
Tobirama Senju: "Like I said before. As long as the Nine-Tails was sealed back inside you, your Uzumaki vitality would've kept you alive."
Naruto Uzumaki: "Huh?! Then I wouldn't have to become a Jinchūriki… and both my parents would still be alive. I'm jealous of the Naruto in that world."
Minato: "..."
Kushina: "..."
Wait… so we didn't actually need to die?
Does that mean we basically committed suicide?
Lack of knowledge really is terrifying…
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "No matter how you look at it, this world feels very strange."
Jiraiya: "Hmph. What a fake world!"
Kakashi Hatake: "Yeah… it feels too fake."
Ebisu: "Our dreams as men… are gone!"
Suddenly, most of the adult men in the ninja world cried out in despair.
Kushina Uzumaki: "What are you all talking about…?"
Tsunade: "Shut up, all of you!!! And that Tsunade on the screen is definitely fake!!!"
Only then did everyone realize something.
The Tsunade on the screen was wearing glasses…
And—
She was flat-chested.
Flat. Chested.
