When they become villains in Konoha, the female ninjas all break down.

But as the Hokage, he also had to protect Konoha.

Especially when they know that an enemy is about to invade.

Therefore, Minato Namikaze immediately made a decision to leave Fang Yuan, whose fighting strength was no less than his own, to guard Konoha Village...

Fang Yuan was speechless, thinking to himself, "You really are a qualified Hokage."

However, Fang Yuan didn't care.

Staying in Konoha, on the contrary, suited his wishes better.

"Fang Yuanjun, we're counting on you for the village this time!"

Minato Namikaze approached Fang Yuan and spoke with a sincere expression.

Fang Yuan didn't mind, instead looking behind him and smiling, "Don't worry, Hokage-sama, I think you should set off now."

Minato Namikaze nodded. "Please!"

"Don't worry, I'm a Konoha ninja!"

Fang Yuan smiled and emphasized the words "Konoha ninja".

Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Fang Yuan is in Konoha, no matter how bad the situation gets, it won't get too bad.

He turned to face his wife, Kushina, who was behind him.

The Third Hokage and his wife, Biwako, accompanied the pregnant Kushina as they walked out.

Kushina's gaze instinctively searched for Fang Yuan, and when she saw his cold face, her expression became complicated.

A hint of pleading was faintly visible in his expression.

Fang Yuan smiled slightly at her and mouthed four words, "I've got you covered!"

Kushina pursed her lips and nodded slightly to him.

I felt a little more at ease.

Unbeknownst to her, the person she chose to believe first was not her husband, Minato Namikaze.

On the contrary, it was Fang Yuan, who had ulterior motives towards her.

But she herself didn't realize that there was anything wrong with it.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the tall and upright Fang Yuan and said solemnly:

"Fang Yuan, the village is in your hands now!"

He had already learned about Fang Yuan's prophecy from Minato Namikaze and made corresponding arrangements.

But for some reason, I always feel uneasy.

"it is good!"

Watching Minato Namikaze and the others gradually disappear from sight.

A hint of anticipation flashed in Fang Yuan's eyes.

"Then, let the show begin!"

He turned and left the spot.

We need to get ready; tonight is not going to be a peaceful night.

...

As the last rays of the setting sun disappear below the horizon.

Endless darkness enveloped the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

The moon in the sky emitted a hazy light, barely enough to make it visible at night.

"Ouch...it hurts so much..."

A mournful scream came from inside the cave.

This allowed the several ANBU ninjas guarding the cave entrance to hear it clearly.

Yet no one showed the slightest sign of distraction; they all diligently watched the outside world.

The screams emanating from the cave were completely blocked upon contact with the outer barrier, with not a single sound able to escape.

Inside the cave.

The candlelight and firelight mingled, illuminating the interior brightly.

Kushina lay on the stone bed, covered in sweat and looking pained, her fiery red hair soaked with sweat.

She was lying on a thick blanket, and her body was also covered with a blanket.

It was letting out screams of agony...

The entire cave was very dry.

However, it's clear that this place had been arranged in advance.

Minato Namikaze, standing to the side, had a worried expression on his face.

He reached out and placed his hand on Kushina's round belly, continuously channeling chakra into her.

Sweat was already dripping from his forehead.

But he still tried his best to maintain the seal on the Nine-Tails.

Kushina's screams seemed to echo in his heart, filling him with worry.

"Lord Biwako, how much longer must we wait?"

Minato Namikaze's face showed obvious worry, "I've never seen Kushina in so much pain..."

Biwako, who was bending over to observe the situation, said expressionlessly:

"Minato, don't worry, you just need to focus on maintaining the seal on the Nine-Tails."

"A mother's strength for her child can exceed your imagination."

Minato Namikaze could only nod helplessly when he heard her say that.

He really has no other options right now.

We can only hope that Kushina and Naruto are safe and sound.

At the same time, he also had to be wary of the enemy that was about to appear...

Although he had made detailed arrangements with the Third Hokage, Fang Yuan said that the enemy possessed strange powers, so he dared not be careless in the slightest.

And at the same time.

Beside the barrier outside the cave.

A figure wearing an orange swirling mask and a black robe silently emerged from the water.

The guarded members of the secret service immediately noticed the other party and shouted out loud.

"who?"

All the ANBU ninjas reacted immediately.

They all drew their swords and surrounded the intruder.

But the man in black wearing the vortex mask remained motionless, making no unnecessary movements.

But the more this happens.

This puts increasing pressure on these secret guard units.

"Who are you exactly?"

"A commander of the secret service asked in a deep voice."

He gripped the ninja sword tightly in his hand, and azure chakra appeared on the sword.

They are already in a ready-to-strike position.

But the man in black did not reply to him.

The men in black who were surrounded seemed to ignore them completely, showing no intention of paying them any attention.

At this moment, he simply looked up calmly.

Go past them and look at the cave entrance behind them.

The dark unit leader, who knew some of the inside information, felt a chill.

Is the opponent's target the Nine-Tails?

At that moment, the ANBU ninjas who saw the man in black's movements were all taken aback.

Because they see it very clearly.

The only visible eye of the masked man was his right eye, which was a scarlet Sharingan.

"It's the Sharingan..."

"Could it be the Uchiha?"

The leader of the ANBU ninja realized something was wrong and immediately shouted out.

"Do it!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than several ANBU ninjas rushed forward.

The ninja sword in his hand was thrust straight at the man in black in front of him.

But the next moment.

A scene that shocked everyone appeared.

All the bodies that rushed forward passed right through the other person, as if no one was there at all.

They came up empty-handed.

"Is this... an illusion?"

But no one could explain it to them.

In the puddle outside the cave, a one-sided massacre has begun...

……

The entrance to Konoha Prison.

"The moonlight is beautiful tonight, and the breeze is so gentle..."

Fang Yuan looked at the moon in the sky, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

He also wore an orange, spiral-shaped mask on his face.

His black robes fluttered even without wind.

The person looked very strange.

Behind him knelt hundreds of prisoners with ferocious faces and bloodstains all over their faces.

These timid and hesitant prisoners.

The eyes that looked at the dark figure before them were filled with endless fear.

After those strange, thin ice pierced their bodies.

They experienced what it means to be devoured by ants, and what it means to be unable to live or die.

Although they didn't know who the masked man who suddenly rescued them was.

But all the prisoners knew that if they didn't do as he said...

It's so hard to even die if you really want to...

"Okay, it's almost time."

Fang Yuan's voice had undergone a subtle change.

His voice became deeper and hoarseer, and his aura became colder and more sinister.

He turned his head away.
