Words : 1102 Updated : Oct 5th, 2025

Uzumaki Naruto was furious when he saw his beloved Gaara captured and rendered unconscious by the enemy. Fueled by anger and with the Nine-Tails' cooperation, he suddenly entered the Tailed Beast Chakra Mode. The light red chakra of the Nine-Tails enveloped his body, greatly enhancing his combat ability. Naruto charged toward Deva Pain like a wild beast, but Pain calmly raised his palm. Shinra Tensei! A powerful repulsive force roared out, immediately knocking Naruto back. Severely injured, Naruto's eyes burned fiercely, filled with the violent spirit of a beast. Kyuubi! Pain's previous attack had rendered Naruto unconscious, but now the Nine-Tails took control of his body. This is the curse of the Jinchūriki: a dual existence that is hard to bear. After the Jinchūriki falls, the Tailed Beast trapped inside immediately emerges to take over. Once the Tailed Beast is defeated, the Jinchūriki regains consciousness and uses the leftover Tailed Beast chakra to keep fighting. If both are strong, this cycle can be terrifying. A brutal battle unfolded. Hatake Kakashi, Chiyo, Ebizo, and the others quickly withdrew. This was no longer a fight they could join. Moreover, since the Nine-Tails was not allied with them, they did not factor into their strategy. "This is no longer a battle between ninjas, but between monsters," Chiyo said emotionally. As puppet masters, she and Ebizo were powerless to intervene at this scale. Just like the Nine-Tails in the original story, the Tailed Beast chakra within Naruto continued to overflow, the tails behind him growing, unleashing devastating power. Unfortunately, Naruto's opponent was not just Deva Pain, but all members of Pain's Six Paths. Among them, the Preta Path alone, with its chakra-absorbing ability, was enough to give the Nine-Tails a headache. Soon after, shocking news spread across the ninja world. Akatsuki, led by Pain, had attacked Sunagakure Village; the Fifth Kazekage Gaara was captured, Chiyo and Ebizo were severely injured, and over half the village was killed or wounded. Uzumaki Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki sent to support Sunagakure, had been captured. Two Jinchūriki were now in Akatsuki's hands. Terumi Mei looked shocked and said, "Is the Akatsuki Organization really that powerful? Kirigakure Village can't believe it." The ninja world now regarded Akatsuki with serious concern. Not only that, the Akatsuki members possessed the legendary Six Paths Sage's eyes — the Rinnegan — which instilled great fear. Including the most powerful, the Nine-Tails. "Since they are so powerful, why do they still control Kirigakure Village?" The Fourth Mizukage Yagura was known to be under Akatsuki's influence — no secret to Kirigakure's senior leadership. Terumi Mei and others had worked hard to reclaim Kirigakure from Akatsuki control. "Pain himself took action?" Zenkichi studied the information before him with interest and surprise. Since those involved had the Rinnegan, there was no doubt Nagato had ordered the Six Paths Pain to attack Sunagakure. This surprised Zenkichi. Wouldn't Nagato be afraid that Akatsuki's exposure would prompt the major villages to prepare? What Zenkichi did not realize was that Nagato's decision to stop hiding was largely because of him. Zenkichi's bold approach deeply moved Nagato. Nagato, who did not consider himself weaker than Zenkichi, naturally refused to be outdone. Zenkichi, an ordinary man lucky enough to unify another ninja world, dared to be so arrogant toward the ninja world and its major villages. Why should he, a god with the Rinnegan and a mission to save the world, be so modest? "There is still one Six-Tails Jinchūriki left in Kirigakure. I don't know if the Three-Tails has been reborn." "If Akatsuki's goal is to collect the Tailed Beasts, Kirigakure might not be able to stop them." Terumi Mei glanced at Zenkichi meaningfully. Zenkichi smiled and said, "You want me to help? Yes, but it will come at a price." Terumi Mei sighed and half-smiled, "Kirigakure is poor. I'm afraid I cannot offer much money." Zenkichi smiled ambiguously, "I don't want money. I want you." Terumi Mei bit her lip, winked at Zenkichi, and chuckled, "If you can protect Kirigakure, what then?" Zenkichi curled his lips and said, "Not sincere. You were more straightforward when you were younger. You know, you were the one who made the first move back then." Terumi Mei was shocked. "I made the first move? No way! What do you mean? Are you saying I'm old?" She stared at Zenkichi angrily, almost ready to snap at him. "There might be trouble in Konoha. I want to go check it out." "You don't have to worry about Kirigakure's safety. I'll protect it with a clone." "As for the Tailed Beast... it's not my concern." Zenkichi said casually, waving his hand as he prepared to leave. "Wait, you're leaving a shadow clone here?" Terumi Mei called out, stunned. Zenkichi smirked, "What else? Nothing will happen to me while I'm gone. Wait for me to return." "The shadow clone has its limits; it can only take so much damage." Terumi Mei was embarrassed but shouted, "What are you thinking? I'm worried you won't protect this place." Zenkichi replied calmly, "If it can't be protected, then it can't. This is not my village after all." "I have a close bond with Terumi Mei from another world, but you're not really her." Seeing Zenkichi leave without hesitation, Terumi Mei felt a sudden pain in her heart and became upset. Finally meeting a suitable partner, yet you say you're so reserved! And Zenkichi is so impatient. Doesn't he know how to deal with girls more patiently? I really don't understand how my other-world self caught up with him! Hmm... You're so bold—you deserve someone like me! --- Konoha Village Tsunade was furious upon receiving news: Konoha's nuclear weapons had been lost. This was no trivial matter. Without nuclear weapons, Konoha was vulnerable to exploitation. Fortunately, the current ninja world was unstable. Visitors from other worlds and the Akatsuki had demonstrated they could suppress the overwhelming power of a single village. This made other villages cautious, unwilling to act rashly and risk harming civilians — opportunities for others to take advantage. "Tsunade, you seem distressed!" Zenkichi's voice interrupted, and Tsunade's expression changed as a young man appeared in her office. --- 70+ Chapters are available on patreon btw. patreon.com/Zphyr_ Join if you want to support me or just want to read ahead I upload 20 chapters every 6 days (with the additional 70 Chapters btw)
