Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 835 Bring Danzo here, or else the village will be massacred.
Above the ruins of Konoha, the smoke and dust had not yet completely dissipated, and the air was filled with the acrid smell of burning chakra and a heavy stench of blood.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's massive, mountain-like body lay sprawled in the enormous furrow it had carved out of itself, drool and dark red blood dripping from its mouth and nose, its remaining eerie chakra flickering like a candle in the wind.

Its massive chest heaved violently, each breath accompanied by a painful whimper. Its once destructive, crimson vertical pupils were now unfocused and unfocused, revealing a bewildered look of someone who had been brutally beaten.

This scene is absolutely outrageous—it's outrageous to the extreme!

The young man in the white T-shirt standing on the giant head of the nine-tailed fox became the most bizarre footnote in this apocalyptic scene.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Several figures landed on the ruins not far away at an extremely fast speed.

The two leading figures were none other than the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's Hokage robes were stained with dust and blood, his hand holding the Vajra Staff trembled slightly, and his face was etched with exhaustion and shock.

Minato Namikaze's signature blond hair was slightly disheveled, and his azure eyes were as sharp as ever, but when his gaze fell on the collapsed Nine-Tails and the figure above its head, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his knuckles, which were gripping the Flying Thunder God Kunai, were still dripping with sweat.

Following closely behind were several elite members of the Dark Guard. Their expressions were obscured by masks, but their tense postures and instinctive defensive formations silently revealed the turmoil within them.

The impact of what was happening before their eyes far exceeded the fear brought by the previous Nine-Tails' rampage.

silence.

A deathly silence enveloped the area, with only the heavy, painful breathing of the Nine-Tailed Fox echoing among the ruins.

All eyes were fixed on the young man wearing a white T-shirt and dark sweatpants, standing on the head of the nine-tailed fox, looking as relaxed as if he were sunbathing in his own backyard.

There was no powerful chakra fluctuation leaking from his body; he was as clean as an ordinary passerby.

But this "passerby" punched, just two simple punches, and he beat that world-destroying beast that plunged the entire Hidden Leaf Village into despair into the dead dog he saw before him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's throat was dry, and he spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse with disbelief: "Who exactly are you, sir?"

Having lived to such an old age, from the Warring States period to the Ninja World War, he considered himself to be well-informed and knowledgeable, but the scene before him was beyond his comprehension, completely refreshing the limits of his understanding.

This power is simply inhuman!
Even the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, wouldn't dare say that he could beat the Nine-Tails into this state with just two punches while using taijutsu.
The Anbu were on high alert, even though the other side seemed to be on Konoha's side.

But this power of unknown origin is itself the biggest destabilizing factor.

They gripped their weapons tightly, watching the young man's every move warily; the shadow of those two punches still lingered heavily in their hearts.

Just as everyone was filled with different thoughts and uncertainties—

Uchiha Yu, standing atop the Nine-Tails' head, seemed to only then notice the group of belated spectators.

He slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the crowd and landing precisely on Hiruzen Sarutobi's old face, a face etched with vicissitudes and solemnity.

There were no pleasantries, no explanations.

His gaze was as calm as if he were looking at an old tree by the roadside.

Then he spoke.

The sound wasn't loud, even carrying a hint of drowsiness like someone just waking up, yet it was like a cold awl, instantly piercing the stagnant air above the ruins and stabbing fiercely into everyone's eardrums:

"Old monkey."

Uchiha Yu's lips seemed to twitch slightly upwards, or perhaps not; his tone was as flat as if he were instructing a doorman:
"You have half an hour."

"Bring Danzo here."

“Otherwise.” He paused, his gaze sweeping over the stunned crowd below before finally settling on Hiruzen Sarutobi’s face. He uttered four words, seemingly casual yet carrying immense weight: “I will slaughter the entire village.”

In other words...

"I've made you red bean paste!"

"hiss--"

Gasps of shock filled the air. The chakra of the Anbu members instantly spiraled out of control, and even Minato Namikaze's expression changed drastically.

A village massacre? To say it so casually?

Hiruzen Sarutobi trembled violently, his hand gripping the Vajra Staff clenched tightly, his knuckles cracking.

Old monkey? Danzo? Half an hour? Massacre of a village?

The amount of information was too much, and the impact was too great. Even with his strong mind, he was momentarily stunned.

However, before Hiruzen Sarutobi could respond, or even have time to process those words—

Uchiha Yu's gaze, like a searchlight, "whooshed" towards Namikaze Minato, who was also in a state of shock.

"Hey, blondie."

His tone carried a hint of impatience, like a delivery driver urging a restaurant that had been dawdling for ages to serve their food:

"Why are you standing still?"

"Your wife, Kushina Uzumaki, is dying."

"Why aren't you bringing her here quickly so I can give her medical treatment?"

"You don't want to give Naruto a childhood with both a father and mother, do you?"

"Also," he added, his gaze drifting back to Hiruzen Sarutobi, as if discussing a trivial matter, "I also need to urge that old monkey to retire."

Finally, as if he had exhausted his last bit of patience, his voice suddenly turned cold, carrying a chilling, tangible pressure:

"If we don't take action..."

He slowly raised his right hand, the one that had just knocked down Nine-Tails with two punches, and casually moved his wrist, the knuckles making a few crisp "crack" sounds.

"I'll punch each of you."

boom!
The invisible pressure, like a heavy hammer, struck everyone's heart.

The image of those two punches knocking down the Nine-Tails replayed wildly in everyone's minds, and no one doubted that this hand could easily do what he said.

The air froze again, and time stood still.

Minato Namikaze was the first to react.

When he heard that "Kushina Uzumaki is dying," all his shock, doubts, and fear of the mysterious person in front of him were instantly overwhelmed by immense panic and worry.

Those deep blue eyes blazed with an unprecedented urgency.

Without the slightest hesitation, a golden light flashed around him—

call out!
The golden flash vanished instantly, leaving only a faint chakra fluctuation in the air, before speeding off towards the direction where Kushina had been placed.

His wife and children were his only priority at the moment. The mysterious man was right; Kushina couldn't afford to wait!
As for the rest, we can only do it first and then figure it out later!
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked in the direction Minato had disappeared, then glanced at Uchiha Yu, who was standing on the ruins with the Nine-Tails on his feet and wearing a look that said, "You guys are so inefficient." His lips twitched violently.

What's the matter!

He took a deep breath, suppressing his turbulent emotions and the resentment of being called "Old Monkey".

Circumstances dictate actions. The power the other side has displayed and the demands they're making now—at least they saved the village, specifically requested to save Kushina, and also want to give Naruto a complete family? As for Danzo, a complex emotion flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.

He whirled around, facing the petrified members of the Anbu behind him, and almost gritted his teeth as he forced out the order, each word laced with frustration and helplessness: "Go! Bring Danzo here!"

The Anbu members snapped out of their daze. Looking at the Third Hokage's ashen face, and then at the old man on the ruins and the Nine-Tails still groaning at his feet, they dared not hesitate for a moment.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
Several figures moved at top speed, disappearing in the direction of the root.
