My two-dimensional resident

"Of course I can help you. However... we need to resolve some other issues first."

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he slowly turned around and looked at the dog and the person standing ten meters away from him.

"That's pretty efficient, Kakashi. But why haven't they caught the culprit behind the Uchiha clan massacre yet?"

Looking at the wary eyes beneath the mask, Lin Tian said with a wicked smile.

Who are you?

Kakashi was shocked to hear that the young intruder in front of him knew his name and the Uchiha clan massacre.

But at this moment, his teacher's son, Naruto Uzumaki, was in the hands of the other party, so he dared not make any rash moves.

"Who are you? What is your purpose in coming to Konoha Village?" Kakashi asked coldly.

"Lin Tian, ​​a traveler. He came to Konoha for sightseeing, of course, but now... he has a new goal: to help this young man solve his troubles."

Kakashi, who doesn't slack off during work hours, is quite rare. Lin Tian didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

"Kakashi, don't look so serious. You must be hungry after a long day. It's fate that we met. I'll treat you to ramen."

He maintained a friendly smile, quietly waiting to see how Kakashi would react.

Kakashi ignored his good intentions and stared at him without saying a word.

Lin Tian looked at Kakashi, who maintained his attack stance, and understood his purpose.

They wanted to stall him while waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

"Naruto, little brother, have you decided to let me help you get rid of that thing?"

Since Kakashi had chosen to be "the stone," Lin Tian lost interest in chatting with him. He turned to look at Naruto Uzumaki and asked softly.

"I'm willing! I want to become stronger! I want to become Hokage! Brother Lin Tian, ​​please help me!"

Upon hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki shouted urgently.

As a child, he didn't understand why he believed Lin Tian so quickly.

Perhaps it's a bowl of ramen, or perhaps it's listening to the stories of this perpetually lonely soul.

In short, he believed that the older brother who treated him to seafood ramen wouldn't deceive him.

"Then I'll help you get rid of the bad stuff suppressing your chakra now."

Lin Tian smiled slightly, glanced at Kakashi, and then reached out to touch Naruto's abdomen.

"No! Naruto, get away from him!"

Kakashi immediately understood Lin Tian's purpose when he saw Lin Tian put his hand on Naruto's stomach.

Naruto, his teacher's son, is also the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki. If this intruder succeeds, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Anxious, he roared and quickly drew his ninja sword from his back, intending to step forward and stop Lin Tian.

But just as he drew his ninja sword, before he could take a step forward, a blonde girl appeared in front of him.

"Kakashi, right? I can't let you bother Lin Tian."

Artoria planted the Excalibur, which had been sealed by the Wind King's Barrier, into the ground with both hands, and stared solemnly at the masked man named Kakashi in front of her.

"Artoria, Kakashi is no match for you, go easy on him."

"I won't intervene unless he stops moving forward."

The conversation between Lin Tian and Artoria instilled a sense of fear in Kakashi.

As a genius boy who graduated from the Ninja Academy at the age of five, Kakashi had already noticed that the auras of the two were too strange.

Especially the girl in front of him, she didn't have any chakra fluctuations, but she appeared in front of him at a speed that he couldn't catch.

But Naruto is in danger now, so he can't just stand here.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Peng! A clone appeared beside Kakashi, possessing the same will as Kakashi, and instantly rushed towards Artoria.

Before Peng's clone could even get close, it suddenly exploded into a cloud of smoke.

Kakashi's eyes narrowed upon seeing this. He had been staring at Artoria the whole time, but he hadn't observed how she had defeated his shadow clone.

"Stand here quietly and don't go any further. We mean you no harm. Lin Tian is just helping Naruto remove the tailed beast from his body. It won't harm his life."

Artoria shook her head at Kakashi.

The opponent was too weak; she had no interest in fighting him.

"Who are you? Why do you know so much?"

Kakashi removed the white mask from his face, revealing a black mask, and opened his right eye at the same time.

His black eyes gradually turned scarlet, and three tadpole-like tomoe appeared in his genitals.

"Give up, you're no match for me."

Artoria gazed at Kakashi's Sharingan, recalling the night they had just arrived and the two who had left the Uchiha clan's territory.

"Is that so? Lightning Release: Lightning Blade!"

Kakashi warily watched Artoria, then channeled his chakra and used the Lightning Release ninjutsu he had developed in his youth, charging towards the enemy in front of him.

Artoria looked at Kakashi charging towards her and raised Excalibur with both hands.

In an instant, Raikiri collided with the Wind King's Barrier on Excalibur.

Before Kakashi could react, the Raikiri in his hand made a sizzling sound and then disappeared.

"What kind of ability is this?"

Kakashi quickly took a few steps back, his face beneath the mask utterly shocked. He hadn't even realized what ability Artoria had used to neutralize his S-rank ninjutsu.

"It's just a simple barrier."

Altori planted Excalibur in the ground once more, placed his hands on the hilt, and smiled as he spoke.

At that moment, a powerful burst of chakra erupted from Naruto, and a fiery red chakra ball floated above their heads.

As all the chakra emerged from Naruto's body, the nine-tailed demon fox appeared from within this massive mass of chakra.

"Is this the bad stuff inside me?"

The departure of the tailed beasts weakened Naruto. He looked at the monster that blotted out the sun above him and asked in shock.

"Yes, Naruto, take this pill first, and then eat this apple."

Lin Tian took out a healing pill and an apple from his spatial backpack, handed them to Naruto, and then looked up at Kurama.

The Nine-Tails had just opened its eyes and was shaking its head as it surveyed its surroundings. It realized it was still in that annoying Konoha Village.

It raised its head and let out a long howl.

"Haha, I'm back again. This time I'm going to kill you all!"

"Damn it, the Nine-Tails has appeared! Are you trying to destroy Konoha?"

Kakashi looked at the Nine-Tails above his head and roared angrily at Artoria.

"Lord Hokage, why is the Nine-Tails out again? Is this some kind of conspiracy by those two invaders?!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox was so enormous that it was spotted by the ANBU members who came to provide support the moment it appeared.

Upon seeing the Nine-Tails, one of the Anbu members instantly turned to terror and then spoke to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, beside him.

"Quickly notify civilians to evacuate! Get all Jonin to come and provide support!"

The Third Hokage looked at Kurama's body, his face turned cold, and he quickly gave orders to the Anbu beside him.

"Damn it, the Uchiha clan was just wiped out, how did the Nine-Tails appear?"

The Third Hokage moved quickly toward the Nine-Tails, inwardly groaning. The most effective way to deal with the Nine-Tails was the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan. Now that the Uchiha clan had been wiped out, Konoha had lost its best means of restraining the Nine-Tails.

"Am I going to end up like the fourth generation?"

......

"Did you release me? I'm very happy now, so I'll reward you with a painless death."

Nine-Tailed Fox lowered its head, baring its teeth as it stared at Lin Tian and the others.

"Your size is too conspicuous, Kurama. Can you shrink? Just to the size of a normal fox."

Lin Tian looked at the Nine-Tailed Fox, which resembled a mountain peak, and said with dissatisfaction.

"Damn human, what are you saying?"

When the long-forgotten name re-entered its mind, it instantly became agitated.

With a loud roar, it stretched out one of its front paws and pounced towards Lin Tian.

"Not only is your body big, but your voice is loud too. That's not good. If you don't want to be beaten to death, you'd better obey me, Kurama."

Under Naruto's terrified gaze, Lin Tian braced himself against the Nine-Tails' claws with one hand and said contemptuously.

"Who are you? How do you know that name?"

The Nine-Tailed Fox felt the astonishing power emanating from its front paws, and its two beast children widened their eyes, asking incredulously.

"Lin Tian is just a traveler."

Lin Tian spoke calmly, then activated the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit within him. In an instant, countless flames erupted from his palm, enveloping the Nine-Tails' right forepaw.

The scorching flames made the Nine-Tailed Fox roar in pain. It quickly retracted its forelimbs, trying to extinguish the flames.

But Lin Tian wouldn't let it have its way. He continued to increase the output of the flames, turning the flames that enveloped the Nine-Tailed Fox's forelimbs into a giant dragon that quickly coiled around the Nine-Tailed Fox's entire body.

"Damn it, a mere flame doesn't think it can control me!"

The nine-tailed creature swung its nine tails, desperately slapping the flames off its body while opening its massive mouth.

A terrifying aura of chakra emerged.

"That's a Tailed Beast Ball! Damn it, can he even control the Nine-Tails?!"

On the ground, Kakashi stared at the Tailed Beast Ball in Kurama's mouth and questioned Artoria, who was standing to the side, with a look of horror.

"Is it that impressive?"

Artoria didn't think the energy ball would harm Lin Tianzhao.
