I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 241 The True and False Nine-Tails Jinchuriki

In Konoha, a massive barrier in the central area completely enveloped the territories of the high-ranking members of the Hokage's faction, including Sarutobi, Yamanaka, Nara, Akimichi, and Shimura.

"Damn it! What's wrong with the old man?!"

The moment the barrier opened, Jiraiya was shocked to see the scene. Amidst the devastation, the elites of each clan had suffered heavy losses. The barrier had completely blocked all the ninjas, which was the reason for the huge casualties.

The scene was littered with signs of devastation, clearly indicating that a battle between ninjas had initially taken place here, followed by the terrifying and destructive killing of Jinchuriki.

"The Third Hokage!"

Just then, several ANBU and Root ninjas appeared in a disheveled state. The leader hurriedly said in a deep voice, "Third Hokage, we were ordered to quell the rebellion, but we don't know why the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki suddenly appeared here."

"Damn it! You're ordered to suppress the rebellion? Whose orders are you on?!"

When Sarutobi Asuma, who had followed, saw the devastation on his clan's territory, he roared in fury.

"Asuma!"

Just then, Hiruzen Sarutobi roared, and the aura of the Third Hokage immediately intimidated everyone. At that moment, his turbid eyes gleamed with a cold light.

"So this is the genjutsu of the Uchiha Mangekyou Sharingan?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke with a grim expression, when suddenly the pupils of the Root and Anbu ninjas in front of him turned crimson, revealing the outline of their Mangekyou Sharingan. They then transformed into crows and slowly coalesced into a human figure.

"Third Hokage, this is my Mangekyou Sharingan technique, 'Kotoamatsukami.' Several captains of Root and Anbu will activate it when they receive the order to eliminate the Uchiha, thereby altering their mindset."

As the crow illusion dissipated, Sarutobi Asuma stared at the scene before him with eyes wide with rage, while Sarutobi Hiruzen looked on with a hint of shock.

Kotoamatsukami! It's terrifying that it can alter a ninja's will, thus manipulating them without their knowledge.

"We!" At this moment, the captains of the several ANBU and Root units who had broken free from Kotoamatsukami's control stared at themselves in horror, as if they had given the wrong order.

He failed! His final move backfired! Regardless of what happened at the Jonin Conference, the Anbu and Root elites were supposed to join forces to wipe out the Uchiha clan, then turn their guns on everyone and suppress all members of the Uchiha clan at the Jonin Conference.

After all, it was just a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan. This time, in order to prevent any accidents, Hiruzen Sarutobi recalled Jiraiya and Tsunade. This was to prevent any accidents from happening. After all, if that time really came, the Uchiha clan would be wiped out, and everyone would have no choice but to accept it.

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Yoru had been hiding his true intentions so well that his three and a half pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan broke the deadlock.

Itachi Uchiha's betrayal, and Shisui Uchiha's use of the Mangekyou Sharingan's genjutsu to alter the wills of several leaders of the Anbu and Root, meant that the original order to quell the rebellion in the Uchiha clan was changed to this location.

"By my order, the Anbu and Root will open a breach in the barrier, and all ninja below the rank of Chunin will withdraw from the battle."

"roar!"

Just then, a beastly roar resounded through the sky. Jiraiya, who was far away, stared in shock at the scene in the distance. He saw a blood-red figure roaring to the sky, with its four tails waving wildly.

At the same time, the ominous chakra aura of the Nine-Tails soaring into the sky was even more overwhelming, and a huge Tailed Beast Ball was swallowed into its belly.

"not good!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Jiraiya broke out in a cold sweat. The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki had gone berserk; things were in serious trouble.

"Old man, what's going on with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?!"

Not to mention Jiraiya, even Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was terribly pale and ugly. At this moment, he tore off his Hokage robe, revealing the battle armor underneath.

"All Jonin, join me in battle!"

boom!

The barrier collapsed instantly due to the terrifying explosive power of the Tailed Beast Ball, and everyone in Konoha stared in fear at the direction of the roaring center.

The familiar fear resurfaced, and in an instant, chaos erupted throughout the streets of Konoha. Countless civilians fled in panic toward the air-raid shelters, and all the ninjas in Konoha instantly went on high alert.

Rumble~

Explosions were deafening. After the last Nine-Tails attack, Konoha reorganized its territory, resulting in clans such as Sarutobi, Yamanaka, Nara, Akimichi, and Shimura banding together, which made them the primary targets of the attacks.

"Teacher Ye!"

Taking advantage of the turmoil in Konoha, Uchiha Yoru had already ordered the police department to take over the entire village, and now the Root and Anbu strongholds had been destroyed.

Itachi Uchiha's bloodshot eyes clearly indicated that he had used the Mangekyou Sharingan before.

"When the Jonin meeting was held, Elder Danzo of Root issued an order that the Anbu, in cooperation with Root, would go to the Uchiha clan's territory to quell the rebellion!"

At this moment, Itachi Uchiha calmly recounted everything, with Tsunade standing right beside him, and Yoru Uchiha made no attempt to conceal anything.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade frowned and sneered, "So you brat used the Mangekyou Sharingan to change this order! With the assistance of the Anbu, and Root being a bunch of killing machines that only obey orders."

At this point, Tsunade shook her head with a sarcastic smile, "The old man probably never imagined that his plan would be ruined by a twelve-year-old brat."

At this moment, Tsunade's gaze involuntarily turned to Uchiha Yoru, her expression gradually becoming serious. "Kid, if it weren't for this brat this time, I want to know what your backup plan would be. What would you have done?"

Faced with Tsunade's question, Uchiha Yoru narrowed his eyes as he gazed at the Sarutobi clan's territory, where thick smoke was billowing in the distance.

"I don't want to lie. Konoha is rotten to the core. If Konoha can't tolerate the Uchiha, then since the Uchiha were able to create Konoha once, they can naturally tear it down and create it a second time."

At this point, Uchiha Yoru's face revealed a confident smile, "Me, Shisui, Itachi, Kakashi, three and a half Mangekyou Sharingan users, and Might Guy who can now open the Seventh Gate—what can Konoha do to stop my determination to rebuild Konoha!"

"Is there still one Nine-Tails left?!" Tsunade stared intently at Uchiha Yoru at this moment. Faced with this question, Uchiha Yoru shrugged and revealed a meaningful smile.

Faced with this question, Itachi Uchiha answered in a deep voice.

"Lady Tsunade, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has been under the watchful eye of the Third Hokage's Anbu, so we have no chance to intervene."

"Then tell me now, what is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who is running rampant in the village right now?"

Faced with Tsunade's questioning, Uchiha Yoru squinted and waved his hand, saying, "They are pseudo-Jinchūriki secretly cultivated by the Daimyo's Twelve Guardian Ninjas back then."

"I did it!" At this moment, Itachi Uchiha stepped forward and took the blame.

"Master Ye's secret arrangement is that this fake Jinchuriki is just our trump card, which will only be released when the Uchiha are facing a life-or-death situation. Moreover, because of the use of the secret medicine, this fake Jinchuriki will only die from exhaustion."

Hearing these explanations, Tsunade couldn't help but curse, "Damn bastards."

It's all a bunch of ridiculous nonsense. The old man wanted to strike at the root of the problem, but he never expected the Uchiha clan to have so many hidden cards.

"What are you standing there for? Are you really going to just watch this Nine-Tails destroy Konoha?!"

After cursing under her breath, Tsunade raised an eyebrow at Uchiha Yoru and shouted angrily. Faced with the furious Tsunade, Uchiha Yoru simply smiled.

Swoosh~

Countless black dots on the roof of Konoha jumped and ran towards the distant, smoke-shrouded area.

……

Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet

Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet

On the battlefield, Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi, working together, were timid and hesitant, while the Jinchuriki with four tails were even more terrifying.

The ninjas who rushed over from afar were even more terrified; the mere fact that a Jinchūriki with only four tails was so terrifying was astounding.

Painful feet

Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Seeing this, Jiraiya hurriedly exclaimed, "Tsunade, stop!"

However, Tsunade wasn't going to hold back. With a powerful kick, she sent the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki flying, creating a huge crater in the distance.

However, Tsunade's face turned serious at this moment. Her feet were numb; the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki had been too heavy.

Or perhaps it's because the chakra is so condensed and dense that it feels so heavy, like kicking a solid iron ball.

"roar!"

With a roar, amidst swirling smoke and dust, a black Tailed Beast Ball instantly condensed. Jiraiya, seeing this, exclaimed in shock and anger, "Damn it, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is charging up even faster!"

"Tsunade, slow down!"

At this time, Jiraiya completely regarded the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki in front of him as Naruto, and was naturally full of nervousness. It was precisely because of this that he had been timid. However, Tsunade didn't care so much. She came to the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki with the teleportation technique and punched the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki away instantly.

With this punch, the Tailed Beast Ball that had just been charged up was sent flying into the air, exploding instantly above Konoha with a deafening roar and an aura of destruction.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Yoru, who arrived late, led a large group of elite ninjas to the scene. Sarutobi Hiruzen was filled with resentment upon seeing this.

The tide has turned; the entire Hidden Leaf Village has now been taken over by the police department.

"Uchiha Yoru!"

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi, clad in armor, appeared. He glared angrily at Yoru Uchiha, took a deep breath to suppress his rage, and said in a deep voice, "Now that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is rampaging, this is not the time for us to fight. Seal the Jinchuriki first."

However, at this moment, all around the ruins, Konoha Jonin were staring at the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki with solemn and wary expressions.

The most exciting battle of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in the original work should be the battle against Orochimaru at the Tenchi Bridge. From this battle, it can be seen that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, who had four tails, had his combat power soar to the level of the Sannin.

His chakra reserves and destructive power far exceed those of the Sannin, and his overall combat strength is at the level of the Sannin.

However, the current ferocious Four-Tails Jinchuriki is somewhat unusual. Upon seeing this, Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "Hero's Water is indeed powerful. The Jinchuriki, Ku, who has taken this forbidden drug, has completely exceeded his limits and will not stop until he is exhausted."

"roar!"

Just then, a roar resounded through the sky. The pseudo-Jinchūriki, who had been punched into the ground by Tsunade, roared in a fit of rage, losing his mind and spitting out a black Tailed Beast Ball with his mouth.

"Get out of here!"

However, at that moment, Uchiha Yoru appeared in the distance, crossed his hands, bit his lip, and slammed his hand on the ground.

Spiritual Communication Technique: Fourfold Rashomon

As the earth trembled, one large door after another rose from the ground, the sound of metal bells echoing as countless Konoha ninja stared blankly at the scene.

Four metal gates, comparable to the gates of Konoha, slowly rose from the ground, directly blocking the direction of the Tailed Beast Ball.

A black Tailed Beast Ball flashed in, followed by a dazzling white light and then a terrifying explosion that resounded through the sky.

boom!

Three Rashomon gates were destroyed in succession, but the last one stood firm against the residual force of the Tailed Beast Ball explosion.

"Defend! We held firm!"

Countless Konoha Jonin stared in disbelief at what they had witnessed. The Jinchuriki of the Four-Tails, who had unleashed his power, far surpassed ordinary Kage-level ninjas. In particular, his massive chakra reserves and immense destructive power completely demonstrated to all Konoha ninjas why Jinchuriki could serve as a deterrent weapon in the ninja world.

If Jonin are already considered to be beings who have surpassed the limits of humanity, and can even alter the terrain locally when using their full ninjutsu, then the Jinchuriki with four tails in their power spike before us is a terrifying being who can flatten a map with a single blow.

boom!

In an instant, Uchiha Yoru, his body crackling with lightning, appeared in front of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. With a flick of his fist amidst the flashing lightning, he sent the Nine-Tails flying.

But the moment he touched it, Uchiha Yoru's expression changed. It was so heavy! The current pseudo-Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was completely a combination of chakra.

"Uchiha Yoru, he's Naruto!"

At this moment, Jiraiya was shocked and furious to see Uchiha Yoru attacking without any mercy. He was also filled with tension as he formed hand seals, and cold sweat kept sliding down his temples.

"How is this possible! Why isn't the illusion working!"

"Five Elements Seal!" In an instant, Jiraiya rushed in front of the fake Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and with an angry roar, seals appeared on his five fingers.

However, at the very moment the blow struck his abdomen, Jiraiya's eyes widened, a look of disbelief in them.

"Pfft!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, only to be greeted by the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's roar to the sky.

"Jiraiya!"

Outsiders in the distance were unaware of the situation; they only saw Jiraiya being severely injured and sent flying backward, his chest covered in crimson blood.

Seeing this from afar, Hiruzen Sarutobi solemnly ordered, "Order the barrier team to prepare a sealing technique."

At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi stared solemnly at the battlefield, biting his finger as he prepared to unleash a summoning technique.

On the battlefield, Uchiha Yoru, who transformed into a bolt of lightning, directly displayed his terrifying ninjutsu to everyone.

Under the Lightning Release armor, Uchiha Yoru directly engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, and he was even on the defensive.

Lightning Release: Chidori

A flash of lightning illuminated the scene, and the black blood splattered and evaporated in the air. At this moment, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was nothing short of a terrifying immortal creature.

Under the tireless, frenzied roars and howls, the injuries were instantly healed. Rather than saying that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in front of him was no longer a body of flesh and blood, but a pure chakra solidified entity.

Jiraiya, who was in the distance amidst the rubble, couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood. Tsunade, who had rushed over, frowned and said in a deep voice, "Jiraiya, your injuries are very serious. You have three broken ribs."

However, Jiraiya, panting heavily and with blood streaming from his mouth, stared in disbelief at the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in the distance, utterly dejected, "How is this possible! How could Naruto with four tails already be gone?!"

The initial illusion and the subsequent sealing technique all failed, ultimately confirming that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was already dead. What they were seeing was merely the materialization of the Nine-Tails' chakra, accompanied by the Jinchuriki's resentment from his lifetime. Once this resentment dissipated, it would completely disappear from the world.

What was in front of them was not a Jinchūriki at all, but a pure solidified Nine-Tails chakra.

The pseudo-Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Ku, exhausted his life potential after the power was unleashed.

Just then, Hiruzen Sarutobi, standing some distance away, revealed a look of shock and anger, shouting, "Naruto!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had summoned Enma using the Summoning Jutsu, was furious and couldn't help but demand, "Enma, what's Naruto doing here?!"

The summoned Enma stared in shock at Naruto, whose body was radiating Nine-Tails chakra, and exclaimed in astonishment, "Sarutobi, didn't you tell me to take Naruto back to the summoning ground?"

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally understood everything. It turned out that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki that Konoha had unleashed was not Naruto. Naruto had always been in his hands.

However, the moment the real Naruto appeared, he was immediately affected by the Four-Tails' power surge from afar, and the Nine-Tails' chakra resonated and began to leak out.

"Oops!"

A crimson Sharingan appeared before him, revealing Kakashi Hatake, Shisui Uchiha, and Itachi Uchiha. Under the gaze of two and a half pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, Hiruzen Sarutobi was filled with rage.

He has not been defeated yet. As long as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is still alive, what does it matter if Konoha falls? With a wave of his arm, he can summon tens of thousands of Konoha ninjas to fight for him within the Land of Fire.

And the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is his reliance!

However, Itachi Uchiha, who had been waiting for a long time, appeared in front of the Third Hokage. Looking at the Third Hokage, whose left eye was bloodshot and a line of bloody tears slowly flowed down.

Tsukuyomi!

Thanks for your support, brothers.
