"What delicious chakra!"

Shennong smiled.

He sat on a bench outside the emergency room, quietly waiting for the 'Zero Tail Void' inside his body to feast on him.

Close your eyes.

Consciousness wanders.

Within his spiritual ocean, a soft, purple substance was gradually giving rise to a serpentine body. Its head wore a white mask branded with the word "zero," and four ribbons resembling red silk fluttered at its top.

At this moment.

It is greedily absorbing dark chakra, and its body is gradually expanding.

It is the "Zero-Tails" that was removed from the Tailed Beasts sequence but was given the name of a Tailed Beast.

Zero-Tails is born from negative human emotions. It can absorb human despair, grief, anger, helplessness, and all emotions on the verge of collapse, convert them into nutrients, and then feed back to the Jinchūriki.

Shennong searched all four major ninja villages.

No trace of it was found.

Until recently, when Konoha was in turmoil.

After some investigation, he was pleasantly surprised to discover that the scroll that had been unsealed was located on the bottom floor of the Konoha Forbidden Techniques Room.

With Konoha's defenses currently weak, and a riot that broke out in Konoha a few nights ago, he took the opportunity to infiltrate the forbidden technique room and easily seize the scroll.

After the night of the riot, Shennong shook off Konoha's pursuit but did not leave Konoha.

Unable to find a suitable person to act as a Jinchūriki, he could only make himself the Jinchūriki of the Zero-Tails.

Just then, Konoha was engulfed in riots, and he infiltrated the hospital, absorbing negative emotions to awaken the Zero-Tails.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Once Zero-Tails is fully recovered, he will be able to return to the ruins of Sky Village and restore its glory!

"ah--"

The emergency room was filled with cries of pain.

Pedestrians come and go in the corridor.

Shennong closed his eyes, enjoying the process of Zero-Tail absorbing the emotions of despair and gradually recovering.

During the Second Shinobi World War.

The Sky Ninja Village was once famous for its advanced "aircraft carriers", "aerial machinery", and "long-range shooting ninja tools".

Just as the ninja village was expanding, it unfortunately encountered Konoha, which was at the height of its power at that time.

Shennong's face was cold as he fell into deep thought.

That year, the Sky Village, which was rising like a new star, was destroyed by Konoha before it could even show its strength.

As the leader of the Sky Village, he could only order his subordinates to lie low while he wandered the ninja world in search of the Zero Tail.

The edge of the corridor.

Ward 13.

Kakashi stood by the window, his expression complex, gazing at the streets of the ninja village.

His left eye underwent an eye transplant, and he has been given a normal eye. After recovery, he will be able to be discharged from the hospital in about a week.

Kakashi had been lying in the hospital ever since the last ninja pursuit mission ended.

I was depressed for half a month.

Fortunately, I've gotten used to my new eyes.

"Losing the Sharingan makes me feel much more relaxed now, but it's a pity about my lightning release skills. Without the Sharingan, my accuracy will probably drop drastically," Kakashi sighed helplessly.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed, a thought flashed through his mind, and a strange, dark aura swept up his spine before being pulled away.

"This chakra is so dark!" Kakashi's eyes widened, and he froze on the spot, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

His brows were furrowed, and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead as he walked towards the door.

Kakashi, who had been using his own chakra to nurture his Sharingan for many years, knew very well that he had just been feeling down and his body had generated some kind of unusual energy.

The 'dark chakra' that flashed through his mind was connected to his own emotions.

That was a darker chakra than the Sharingan's Yin Release chakra.

I just got outside the door.

bang——

Kakashi, dressed in a hospital gown, collided head-on with Yamato. Both of them froze for a moment, and with the excellent reflexes of a Jonin, they dodged and avoided each other, only brushing shoulders, before regaining their balance.

"senior?"

Yamato looked surprised, holding the fruit basket in his hand.

Kakashi darted past Yamato, poked his head out, and scanned the benches outside the corridor, only to find them empty.

People were coming and going in the corridor.

There was nothing unusual.

I ran to the corridor and looked around, but still found nothing.

"senior!"

Yamato quickly followed.

Kakashi looked at Yamato, who looked completely bewildered, grabbed his shoulder, and asked in a deep voice:

"Did you see anything suspicious when you arrived?"

"No!"

Yamato shook his head.

"Alright." Kakashi fell into thought, then walked towards the ward.

Yamato followed behind, asking curiously, "What happened?"

Upon entering the ward, Yamato placed the fruit basket he was carrying on the table next to the bed.

Kakashi pondered, "I suspect the infiltrators of Konoha are lurking in the hospital."

Yamato asked in surprise, "What's the purpose?"

"I don't know." Kakashi sighed. "Has the Anbu made any progress lately?"

"Currently, the Anbu are under the command of the two Hokage advisors, and due to my special abilities, they have no intention of sending me on missions!"

Yamato looked dejected.

The feeling of not being valued was frustrating for him.

Thinking for a moment, Yamato took an apple from the fruit basket and asked curiously, "Senpai, what are your plans?"

"Get well soon and rejoin the team!"

Kakashi was equally at a loss.

After speaking...

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside the corridor. From the hospital room window to the streets of the ninja village, countless ninjas quickly gathered and then dispersed.

Kakashi's pupils contracted sharply, and he said in a deep voice, "Something's happened!"

Yamato chewed on his apple, raising a slight glance, and asked curiously, "Hmm?"

The two of them went to the window together.

next moment.

Swah——

A green shadow flashed past the two of them and landed steadily outside the second-floor ward window.

It resembles a green spider.

The newcomer had a bowl cut and wore a green vest over a green bodysuit.

His face was stern, his expression resolute, and he said earnestly, "Kakashi, how can you still be sleeping... Oh, you're not asleep? By the way, the latest intelligence from the front lines is that the Northwest, Southeast, and North have all fallen..."

There was a layer of glass between them.

Kakashi and Yamato's expressions gradually turned sour, and even their breathing became heavy.

"Kai, where is the Third Hokage?"

Kakashi stared directly at his opponent.

Might Guy jumped out of the window, squatted on the windowsill, and sighed, "It's said that the Third Hokage was defeated and retreated from Kikyo Castle in the northwest, immediately returning to the ninja village to defend Konoha!"

Kakashi fell silent.

Yamato's eyes widened, he swallowed hard, and his scalp tingled. "Three regions have fallen: Iwagakure in the northwest, Kumogakure in the north, but the southeast... it couldn't possibly be Kirigakure, which hasn't been heard from in a long time, launching a surprise attack on Konoha, could it?"

Might Guy's face was ashen as he sighed, "It's Sunagakure... Kakashi, come back to the team. Let's have one last match and see who can kill more invaders."

After saying that, Kai instantly left the windowsill.

Why did it turn out like this?

Kakashi staggered back several steps, unable to believe the crisis Konoha was now facing.

"It's all probably because the Uchiha clan was wiped out..." Yamato was stopped by Kakashi shaking his head before he could finish speaking.

Konoha Village.

Street.

The crowd, though dense, moved in an orderly fashion towards the Shadow Rock Shelter under the organization of the ninjas.

Beneath Shadow Rock lies a massive war shelter, used by civilians to seek refuge during wartime.

At the front of the procession were the children and women of the Hyuga clan.

Members of other clans were positioned in the middle, while ordinary citizens of Konoha were all located at the end.

As the group moved forward.

Boom—

A deafening roar echoed across the sky, followed by a violent tremor that shook the rocks, causing dust and pebbles to fall.

For a time, people panic.

The villagers of Konoha turned around sharply and discovered that the loud noise came from the village entrance.

"Has the Iwagakure forces reached outside Konoha?"

"Did the Third Hokage really lose?"

"What should we do?"

Only at this moment did the villagers of Konoha realize that the shadow of war had truly loomed over them.

When news of the defeat at the front came back, a glimmer of hope remained in their hearts.

But what if something unusual happens around you?

Hope turned into utter despair.

The once-greatest ninja village is now embroiled in war once again, and these ordinary people are not even aware of what sparked the conflict.

……

Outside of Konoha Village.

The Iwa ninja launched a surprise attack.

Outside the forest, Onoki floated in the air, coldly surveying the Konoha ninjas who were fleeing like defeated dogs.

"Retreat to the ninja village immediately!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi issued the order.

Now, he looks haggard, and his black combat suit is tattered.

Using Fire Release to force back the group of Iwa ninja, Hiruzen Sarutobi led the remaining Konoha ninja into the barrier.

As for Shikaku, who had previously negotiated with Kumogakure, he returned early and is now there to meet up with the defeated Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi only breathed a sigh of relief when the last Konoha ninja entered the village's protective barrier.

He stood behind the barrier, staring blankly at Onoki, who was suspended high in the sky.

My initial enthusiasm vanished, leaving only lamentation and bewilderment.

moment.

Another group of ninjas emerged from the forest; they were mostly dark-skinned and strong.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart was ashen.

This group of ninjas wore Cloud Village headbands, and the leader was none other than the Fourth Raikage, A, and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee.

"Old man, long time no see! I didn't expect you to still be alive and still be able to go to the battlefield!"

Raikage looked up at Onoki high in the sky.

Onoki said irritably, "Even if you die, I won't die. Enough with the nonsense, let's take Konoha first, and settle our scores later."

"Hmph!" Raikage coldly glanced at the area within the barrier, and when his gaze fell upon Hiruzen Sarutobi, his eyes immediately flashed with disdain: "Old man, I'll give you a chance to show off, you go first!"

"I've been chasing Konoha's main force all the way. It's your turn, young people, to shine now," Onoki replied.

On the other side of the barrier.

Hiruzen Sarutobi gasped for breath; he had never fought such a frustrating battle since becoming Hokage.

Not to mention being chased by Onoki.

There isn't a single person I can use.

Even with the assistance of Mount Myōboku, they could only ensure Hiruzen Sarutobi's survival, but they could no longer wage war on multiple fronts like they did during the Third Shinobi World War in Konoha.

A moment later, another large army arrived in the forest. These ninjas wore khaki armor and Sand Village headbands. The leader of the army was the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.

The Konoha ninjas inside the barrier were burning with rage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils dilated violently as he roared, "Rasa, why did you break the alliance between Konoha and Sunagakure? Aren't you afraid of Konoha's retaliation?"

At the forefront of the Sunagakure army.

Rasa's face was cold, his arms crossed over his chest, and he did not answer Hiruzen Sarutobi's question.

joke.

Does Konoha have a future?

moment.

Rasa said in a deep voice, "Precisely because we are allies, I promise you that Sunagakure will never launch a preemptive attack on Konoha!"

He promised Onoki that he would target Konoha, ostensibly to help out and get a share of the spoils, but he was not going to be the first to step forward.

"snort!"

Although the Raikage was indignant about the appearance of the Sand Village, he said nothing.

The most important thing right now is to take over Konoha and divide up the Land of Fire.

If Sunagakure doesn't know its own strength by then, Raikage wouldn't mind letting Rasa know how powerful Kumogakure has become after years of dormancy.

"Old man, let's attack together! Konoha's barrier can only hold for a day at most!"

The Raikage looked at Onoki.

High in the sky.

Onoki chuckled, "Alright, everyone! Hiruzen Sarutobi's Konoha occupies the most fertile land in the Land of Fire, but they are unworthy of their position. Today, we will conquer Konoha and redistribute the territory of the Land of Fire!"

These words were spoken.

"attack!!!"

Raikage raised his right arm and gave the order to attack the city.

The ground trembled slightly.

In the forest.

The Iwa ninja, having completed their rest and regrouping, along with the newly arrived Kumo ninja, totaling approximately 20,000 main force ninja, launched an attack on the Konoha village protection barrier.

In an instant, countless escape techniques, like dazzling fireworks and meteors, crashed heavily onto the Konoha barrier.

The Konoha ninjas wore solemn expressions, all worried about whether the village's protective barrier could withstand an attack of this level.

"Barrier Team, repair the barrier!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi roared in panic.

Instantly, near the ninja village, inside the barrier room, the ninjas of the Konoha Barrier Team poured their chakra into the barrier's central core.

Boom boom boom—

One after another, deafening explosions echoed through the sky, their deafening roar never ceasing.

The barrier struggled to hold on, and whenever there was a sign of cracking, it would be repaired by newly injected chakra.

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly led his team back to the ninja village.

As the Raikage said, this barrier can only last for a day at most under the combined attack of the Iwa and Kumo ninjas, and will inevitably shatter by this time tomorrow.

At that time, the few remaining ninjas of Konoha will face the siege of the three great ninja villages.

Konoha is dead!

"Impure World... Impure World Reincarnation."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, his expression grave, muttered to himself as he led a group of Konoha clan leaders toward the Root organization's base.

Konoha Shadow Rock Shelter.

Shennong stood in front of the observation cave, looking at the outer perimeter of the Ninja Village, which was now deeply surrounded.

He immediately gave a cold laugh.

The war came at the perfect time, and as a result, the Zero Tail within him will awaken rapidly.

At that time, he will create chaos within Konoha Village and cooperate with the Iwa and Kumo ninja outside, and Konoha will surely perish!

……

The training grounds outside Konoha, in the forest.

On the giant brown snake.

"Heh... This kind of barrier can be broken with a little thought, yet Iwagakure and Kumogakure chose such a foolish method of brute force."

Orochimaru gazed at the main battlefield.

He was quite interested and was preparing for the Impure World Reincarnation ceremony. He wanted to use Impure World Reincarnation to surprise Yoruichi.

As for the sacrifices, a ANBU team had just tracked them down, but Orochimaru dealt with them, and two of them can serve as sacrifices.

At this moment, the two Konoha ANBU members knelt at the front of the snake's head, unable to move.

……

Within the Land of Fire.

With Konoha under siege, no ninjas were stationed in any of the towns and villages.

Yin Yue and the others rode on Xin Ya, traveling unimpeded and undisturbed, and were about to arrive at Konoha.

night.

Since her mount had been changed to the King Serpent Xinya, Yinyue no longer made things difficult for Meiqin and sat alone on the serpent's head, gazing at the night sky.

Consider it a break for Mikoto and myself.

"You're going to Konoha, can I..." Tsunade's voice suddenly rang out.

Yin Yue smelled the rich fragrance and looked up at the graceful Tsunade.

Tsunade lowered her eyes and said in a deep voice, "I don't want to go back to Konoha."
