"What...is this feeling...?"
Sasuke's cries grew louder and louder.
"Be good, be good..."
Itachi gently shook his younger brother and whispered words of comfort, but his gaze remained fixed on the sky.
The wind rose again, and this time, the beast-like stench was even more pronounced.
It's... the smell of blood.
Itachi didn't know how to describe the smell, but he recognized it as the smell of blood.
He had seen ninjas return to the village covered in blood, and Itachi still remembered that human bloody smell.
"It's such an uncomfortable feeling... and of all times, my mother isn't here..."
Sasuke cried even harder.
It seems tonight is not a good time for moon viewing.
Itachi smiled slightly and looked down at his young brother in his arms.
"Don't cry, Sasuke."
He said softly, "No matter what happens, your brother will protect you."
As if understanding those words, Sasuke's crying subtly changed tone.
The fear gradually dissipated, turning into a coquettish whimper.
The volume of the crying did not decrease, but the emotions within it were completely different; only blood brothers could perceive this subtle change.
Something is approaching.
Itachi remained silent, only holding Sasuke even tighter.
……
"This also gives us a chance to take revenge on Konoha."
Shennong looked at the still thriving Muye in the darkness, and a light rain began to fall from the sky.
Raindrops pattered under every eave, reflecting the joyful laughter of the people.
Some rainwater fell into the deserted alley, destined only to mingle with the mud.
Shennong looked at the mud beneath his feet.
He... was also one of those trapped in the mud.
Such a powerful Konoha needs to occupy a vast amount of resources.
And these small countries were the first to be affected, to be exploited.
In his previous life, Shennong disguised himself as a wandering doctor in order to find a way to avenge Konoha and revitalize the Sky Country, which had been destroyed by Konoha.
Because he is the leader of the Sky Kingdom.
"Time is up."
Shennong formed a hand seal and slammed it onto the ground.
boom!
An angry roar sent the rain flying backwards.
Zero-Tail, resembling a crimson python, appeared on the bustling streets of Konoha, wearing a mask with the character "Zero" engraved on its head.
His size continued to expand, extending numerous tentacles that brutally destroyed everything around him.
After Shennong made his move, a group of reanimated ninjas also quietly began to take action.
"Hmph, I never thought this day would come."
Suigetsu Hozuki, wielding ninja tools, brutally murdered members of the Konoha Police Department who rushed to the scene after hearing the commotion.
The requirement to join the Konoha Police Department is to be a Chunin.
In his previous life, he was a renowned member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Now, with the addition of the Impure World Reanimation, Suigetsu Fuguki is brutally reaping lives one by one.
This sudden turn of events plunged the village into chaos.
With a solemn expression, Fugaku Uchiha gazed at the billowing dust rising in the distance.
He stood on the roof of the Konoha Police Department, surrounded by his trusted confidants, all of whom were elite members of the Uchiha clan.
"That, that's..."
Standing to the left of Fugaku, the white-haired Yatsushiro murmured to himself.
Fugaku had already seen the reason for his reaction.
"Nine...no, it's Zero Tail..."
This time, it was Inahisa, who was standing to the right of Fugaku, who spoke. He clutched his long black hair, desperately trying to calm his trembling body.
Ignoring his subordinates who were clearly terrified, Fugaku resolutely confronted the reality before him.
"That's right, it's Zero Tail."
The beast roared loudly, seemingly wanting to devour the full moon floating in mid-air; it was a fox exuding an evil aura.
Zero-Tails was information collected by Kiyoshi, which also made others aware of the existence of such a forbidden creature. It was said that it could absorb negative human emotions to become stronger, and in some ways, it could be even stronger than the Tailed Beasts if it had enough negative emotions.
It will bring calamity to this world.
"Dispatch troops to the scene immediately. I will also go there."
"Will Lord Fugaku be present in person?"
Yashiro looked frightened and asked.
"nonsense!"
Fugaku cursed loudly, his gaze still fixed on Zero.
Roars and screams began to echo from all directions.
No matter where you are in the village, you should be able to see the tail.
Even if no one has been harmed yet, witnessing Zero Tail firsthand would inevitably cause panic and chaos.
Among the first ninjas to arrive at the scene, some must have already perished.
It's understandable that Yatsushiro would feel scared.
"This commotion is too big. Ninjas only make up a small portion of Konoha's population. The majority are ordinary villagers, numbering in the tens of thousands. There are at least hundreds of thousands of people. How far will this monster grow due to these negative emotions?"
Fugaku's expression was grave.
He thought of Mikoto.
Mikoto has been out of the front lines of the ninja world for a long time. If he were to retire here, Mikoto would also be affected.
Of course, the reason for being away from home cannot be stated in this way.
This will not convince the public.
To put it another way, even though Mikoto treated him that way, Fugaku still had a place for Mikoto in his heart.
……
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was handling government affairs, also donned his armor, summoned the Monkey King, transformed him into the "Golden Cudgel," and quickly rushed to the source of the commotion.
After he left, ninjas would follow him from time to time on the roof.
"They...are completely indestructible!"
Hiashi Hyuga unleashed a powerful punch, but Suigetsu Hozuki didn't dodge, letting his arm be smashed to pieces.
As time went by, his right arm recovered rapidly.
Under the Byakugan's observation, Hyuga Hiashi was able to discover that the internal structure of these reanimated beings was completely different from that of living people.
"Why are the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, who are already dead, here?"
Hyuga Hizashi frowned, also bewildered by the current situation.
Why did this happen?
Is there really such a thing as resurrection?
If someone dies and is resurrected, will the "Caged Bird Seal" on their head disappear?
The thought flashed through Hyuga Hizashi's mind.
He knew this wasn't the time to think about these things, so he quickly shut them out.
……
In another very quiet house, Kiyoshi put Kushina and the baby down.
"I'll be back soon."
Kiyoshi said.
He is now wearing the traditional black robe of the Uchiha clan.
Walking to the wall, Kiyoshi took off the cloak embroidered with flame patterns and "Fourth Hokage" and put it on.
"Kiyoshi, you must be careful."
Kushina forced herself to get up.
She hadn't had the Nine-Tails extracted; she had only just finished giving birth and wasn't as weak as she was on the verge of death in the original story.
Her vitality was several times stronger than, or even stronger than, Naruto at his peak at age 17.
As soon as Naruto pulled out the Nine-Tails, he was on the verge of death and fell into a coma.
In the original story, she could also expend a large amount of chakra to release the sealing technique "Diamond Sealing Technique" to bind the Nine-Tails in its complete form.
If Kushina hadn't used that ninjutsu, she would have lived much longer.
"it is good."
Qingsi nodded.
Now that the fish have taken the bait, Kiyoshi wants to see what keywords he can harvest.
His figure suddenly disappeared from Kushina's sight.
The next moment, Kiyoshi stood atop his own Hokage Rock statue.
Moonlight streamed down from the sky, and the misty drizzle and the shadows on Fire Shadow Rock swayed together.
"Have you also optimized the zero tail? That's a good idea."
Kiyoshi crossed his arms and looked at Zero in front of him.
Shennong's deep understanding of "Dark Chakra" and his extensive search for this forbidden technique indicate that he already possessed this information.
It is very likely that Zero-Tail has a deep connection with the former Sky Country.
"We can also try those optimized points on the White Snake to speed up the absorption of negative emotions."
Kiyoshi thought to himself.
"You have mastered the entry: [Zero Tail Chaos (Purple)]".
[Entry: Zero-Tail Chaos (Purple)]
[Requirement met: Contact with Zero Tail during its peak period.]
【Progress: (Completed).】
[Effect: Your chakra will develop an affinity for "Dark Chakra", and the affinity will increase by 100% from the original level.]
Your body will become more sensitive to energy, and your natural energy affinity will increase by 100%.
The power of your "Lava" Release ninjutsu will increase by 100% from its original level.
【Note: You can continue to advance later. 】
The sudden appearance of the term caught Kiyoshi's attention.
"If we follow the original storyline, wouldn't we get an entry for 'Nine-Tailed Fox's Rampage'?"
