Start with Naruto Awakening - Awesome!

　By the way, I'm preparing to leave here. Are you going to continue your training, or come back to Konoha with me?

　Ye Chen asked

　"Of course, I'll go back to Konoha. It's too boring here."

　There's nothing fun to do, and no gambling dens. Besides, there's no rush to cultivate. Having you protect me is enough.

　Tsunade looked at Ye Chen with a beaming smile, as if she had become attached to him.

　"what ever!"

　Knowing Tsunade's personality, Ye Chen didn't say much.

　The two used the Reverse Spirit Summoning Technique again to leave the Wet Bone Forest! The slug immortal's true form on the volcano crater, sensing Ye Chen's departure, took a deep breath and murmured, "Finally gone. Now I can get a good night's sleep."

　Let's sleep for another hundred years!

　Konoha Village, a peaceful street

　(2/3)

　People came and went, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

　After finishing her training in the Anbu, Kushina asked her cousin, Uzumaki Mi, to go shopping with her.

　Uzumaki Yoshiko agreed. Both of them were survivors of the Uzumaki clan and had a very good relationship, almost like best friends.

　The two were watching the itinerant performers' acrobatics from the side of the street, their eyes fixed intently.

　But at that moment, Kurama's voice suddenly appeared in Kushina's mind.

　"Kid, run! Get out of here! It's dangerous!"

　""

　Kushina

　"Don't think too much, it's too late, run! I didn't expect him to still be alive!"

　The Nine-Tails inside the seal showed a rare expression of anxiety and unease.

　Kushina was a Jinchūriki, so she could clearly sense Kurama's emotions.

　This content is being published for the first time (first update).

　The streets of Konoha were bustling with activity.

　In stark contrast, Kushina's face showed a panicked and helpless expression.

　She didn't understand what was happening, or why the Nine-Tails was acting so agitated and uneasy.

　Is there really anything in this world that the Nine-Tails is afraid of? How could that be! Uzumaki Miko, noticing Kushina's change, quickly asked, "What happened, Kushina?"

　"I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling!"

　Kushina muttered to herself

　On the Hokage Rock, Black Zetsu and Madara slowly appeared, silently observing the Hidden Leaf Village below.

　"If the Nine-Tails goes berserk, this seemingly vibrant village will be destroyed."

　Black Zetsu said

　"Whatever!"

　Madara coldly spoke, his eyes bloodshot, and the three-tomoe Sharingan slowly emerged. Then, the three three-tomoe Sharingan rapidly spun to form a Mangekyou Sharingan pattern—a very special symbol! Although it wasn't his own Mangekyou Sharingan, controlling the Nine-Tails was completely effortless for Madara.

　Eye power is inextricably linked to a ninja's spirit and soul! The stronger the spirit and soul, the stronger the eye power! "This is the last time I'll use my eye power!"

　As soon as he finished speaking, Age Spot suddenly opened his Kaleidoscope Sharingan and roared, "Come out, Nine-Tails!"

　Kushina Uzumaki, who was standing on the street, froze, as if she had been frozen in place.

　Thump thump thump! The surroundings fell silent, save for the rapid, pounding heartbeats.

　The air was filled with the cheers and laughter of Konoha's soldiers and civilians, but an even greater fear gripped Kushina's mind and body.

　It was a feeling of darkness and helplessness! It was the same feeling when the old woman sealed the Nine-Tails! "Madara!"

　The Nine-Tailed Fox within the Eight Trigrams Seal roared, struggling against the binding power of Madara's eye, but its struggle lasted less than a second before it was enslaved once again.

　Outside, a dense layer of scarlet chakra suddenly appeared on Kushina's body! Her pupils transformed into the eyes of a demon fox, and even the whiskers of the Nine-Tails appeared on her cheeks. Tail after tail composed of the Nine-Tails' chakra emerged behind her! One, two, three—quickly reaching five! "Roar!"

　In that instant, the Nine-Tails' hatred consumed Kushina's will, turning her into a tool, a machine, only capable of slaughter! Boom! Boom! Boom! The entire Konoha street was destroyed in a flash. People fled in panic, staring in terror at Kushina, at this Nine-Tails monster! Destruction truly happened in an instant. The once peaceful Konoha was suddenly plunged into chaos and suffering. Countless defenses collapsed, the earth shattered, flames erupted, and cries of terror spread.

　Hokage Building

　Upon witnessing this, the Third Hokage's expression turned grave: "It's over! The Nine-Tails has gone out of control!"

　"Why? We just sealed the Nine-Tails, how did it turn out like this so quickly?"

　Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi racked his brains, he would never suspect that Madara Uchiha was behind all of this! The most urgent task is to stabilize the situation and prevent further damage, given its severity.

　All Anbu members and Konoha Jonin were immediately mobilized to the front lines to provide support.

　Meanwhile, Yoruichi and Tsunade returned to the surface world using the Reverse Summoning Technique, but they didn't land in Konoha Village; instead, they were quite far away, almost to the border of the Land of Fire.

　Without exchanging many words, the two continued their journey without encountering any obstacles, quickly traversing half of the Land of Fire and gradually approaching...

　Konoha's location

　"Finally coming back, although it won't be long, but..."

　(1/2)

　I still miss Kushina a little. I wonder if she's adjusting well to life in the Anbu.

　Ye Chen gazed towards Konoha, for the first time longing to return.

　"what happened"

　Suddenly, Ye Chen's eyes flashed, revealing a hint of surprise. He immediately released his Observation Haki to sense the area ahead.

　It's peacetime now, and there's no news of a Ninja World War breaking out. How could such a violent tremor be coming from Konoha, so intense that it can be felt even from this distance? Without a doubt, an extremely fierce battle is raging within Konoha! "Ye Chen, I sense an extremely ominous chakra fluctuation; it feels somewhat familiar."

　Tsunade said

　"It's the Nine-Tails!"

　Ye Chen's face darkened. Had the Nine-Tails gone berserk? But wasn't the Nine-Tails just sealed away and beaten up by him? How could it have come out so quickly?

　Is it a conspiracy? Or what? Whatever the reason, Ye Chen couldn't calm down.

　Without even taking a break, they rushed towards Konoha Village at top speed.

　Roar!!! A deafening roar echoed as Kushina, transformed into her tailed beast form, lost control and unleashed her enormous red tail, crashing down onto the earth with a deafening roar that sent rocks flying everywhere.

　The Nine-Tails' rampage didn't occur; instead, its chakra devoured Kushina.

　The current situation is very similar to the battle between Naruto and Orochimaru at the Tenchi Bridge in the original story! But if this continues, the Nine-Tails will eventually reappear and completely control the Jinchūriki.

　The tailed beast transformation is reversible! But only if someone can control Kushina! Under the power of the Nine-Tails! Countless Konoha ninja screamed and cried out in terror as they were blasted away by this terrifying force, all flying backward.

　"Jonin squad, follow me!"

　At the forefront, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, used Earth Release to control Kushina, attempting to create a cage.

　His expression was grave, and he stared intently ahead, gritting his teeth.

　There, in her tailed beast form, Kushina's blood-red eyes swirled with madness and savagery as she roared and howled incessantly.

　Uzumaki Yoshiko stood behind, her face filled with worry and helplessness. What could she do in this situation? "Kushina!"

　She prayed silently for Kushina! "What should we do? The Nine-Tails' power isn't something that can be controlled by ordinary forces, except for Wood Release."

　Hiruzen Sarutobi kept thinking about solutions, but none of them were feasible.

　Because no one in Konoha can regain control and seal the Nine-Tails! Unless he uses the Reaper Death Seal! But Kushina is currently controlling the Nine-Tails, which makes it impossible for him to do so.

　The Nine-Tails going berserk was something that had never happened since the founding of Konoha, because the Uzumaki clan's seal was simply too powerful, and combined with the Uzumaki clan's constitution, it was enough to suppress the Nine-Tails.

　Because the Nine-Tails went berserk during the last sealing, it was far from Konoha, so most people didn't have a clear understanding of its rampage.

　But today, right here on the busiest street in Konoha, amidst a sea of ​​people, the Nine-Tails went berserk before their very eyes. Destruction happened in an instant, and everyone understood why the Nine-Tails was called a calamity!

Chapter 355 Snake is getting arrogant

　This content was first published here (second update).

　The situation in Konoha is particularly bad; many ordinary people have suffered injuries of varying degrees, and everyone is in a state of panic and fear, unable to control themselves.

　Although the Naruto world is a ninja world, it is essentially a world centered around ordinary people.

　Ninjas actually make up a very small percentage of the total population! Konoha is the largest ninja village, but its ninja population is only about one-tenth of the total population.

　Otherwise, like the Fourth Shinobi World War, all the shinobi combined were only about 100,000 strong. A war between 100,000 and 100,000 isn't a particularly large-scale battle; at most, it's considered small to medium-sized, or even smaller.

　The Nine-Tails' rampage caused immense damage to Konoha! On the Hokage Rock, Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu watched this scene expressionlessly.

　"Konoha is far too weak right now. They can't even suppress a mere Jinchuriki going berserk. I overestimated them."

　Uchiha Madara said

　"Lord Madara, since Hashirama Senju's death, Konoha has withered. How many people in this world can compare to you?"

　Black Zetsu laughed
