After Kazuma took Fuen to blow up Konoha's walls, they followed many bounty hunters and suddenly broke into Konoha.
And at this time, the defense on Konoha's side appeared relatively weak.
Although Kazuma didn't know, the Third Hokage intended to trap everyone inside Konoha and annihilate them completely.
But since he was used to being cautious, he still instructed Fuen to prepare a retreat plan.
As for himself, relying on the chakra he had previously collected from the Nine-Tails, he quickly locked onto Naruto's position.
But when he arrived, he discovered that the ones attacking the Nine-Tails' jinchuriki weren't just him.
Four Anbu had already died at the scene.
Nearby were several masked monsters covered in black threads, attacking the remaining Anbu.
Kakuzu had originally come to trouble Root, but Kakuzu's biggest characteristic was following his heart.
There were so many people on Root's side, including the Third Hokage and a large number of Anbu, all on that side. So Kakuzu simply looked around to see if there was any intel on the Nine-Tails.
What shocked him was, the intel on the Nine-Tails was all over the streets.
He grabbed a random villager and immediately learned who the demon fox was.
This left Kakuzu utterly baffled, 'Shouldn't jinchuriki information be protected?'
He also came with a try-and-see attitude, but when he arrived, he discovered there really were Anbu protecting here.
Which is more important, the Nine-Tails or Danzo? Kakuzu had a clear understanding.
And the key point was, there were only two squads of Anbu outside.
Under Kakuzu's surprise attack, four Anbu were quickly downed.
The remaining Anbu, while defending against Kakuzu, also sent out a distress signal.
This was the scene Kazuma saw upon arriving.
At this moment, Kakuzu still had one Earth-natured heart inside his body.
The other four hearts had already split into four Earth Grudge Fear monsters.
The four teamed up, and the Anbu quickly found it hard to defend.
Of course, Naruto's protection wasn't just these few. While these eight Anbu tangled with Kakuzu, the other two Anbu squads had already begun evacuating with the unconscious Naruto.
How could Kakuzu let the duck that was already in his mouth fly away?
Besides pursuing himself, the other four Earth Grudge Fear paired off into Fire-Wind and Lightning-Water combinations.
That is, Earth Grudge Fear with two combined hearts.
Among them, the Fire and Wind Earth Grudge Fear opened their mouths, and massive chakra gathered.
Combined Ninjutsu, Scorching Wind Turbulence Wave!
Massive flames, boosted by the raging wind, instantly formed a super-massive sea of fire ahead.
Directly blocking the Anbu's retreat route.
One Anbu was caught by the flames and immediately doused himself with Water Release.
But due to the Fire Release being enhanced with Wind-nature transformation, ordinary Water Release had little effect.
The eight Anbu immediately lost one member.
"Heh… So this little brat is the Nine-Tails' jinchuriki?"
Kakuzu's expression was delighted. He didn't expect the all-important Nine-Tails would fall into his hands so easily.
Konan had even said only take action if confident, now with such weak defenses, it was clearly the perfect time to act.
As he blocked the escape route, he and the Lightning-Water Earth Grudge Fear pounced at the remaining Anbu.
These Anbu were elites too, but facing Kakuzu, they were still a bit inferior.
Just that little bit of difference between ninjas was the gap between life and death.
Among the remaining seven Anbu, three continued breaking out with Naruto.
The other four all threw shuriken, kunai, and other weapons at Kakuzu.
While dodging the ninja tools, Kakuzu also drew his blade and began close-quarters combat.
Kakuzu naturally knew the disadvantage of fighting on enemy territory. His only advantage now was that these Anbu weren't familiar with his abilities.
When the first Anbu slashed at him, Kakuzu activated the ninjutsu of the Earth-natured heart he retained.
Earth Release: Earth Spear!
His right arm instantly hardened, blocking the blade. Then, his left hand shot out Earth Grudge Fear threads and tore open the Anbu's throat.
Wind Release: Pressure Damage!
Under Kakuzu's control, a Wind-natured Earth Grudge Fear opened its mouth.
A compressed wind tunnel shot straight out, shooting sideways from Kakuzu directly at the Anbu carrying Naruto.
BOOM!
Massive chakra flared up on Naruto like fire.
A fiery red tail appeared, blocking the wind cannon of Pressure Damage on the outside.
Not only the Anbu, even Kakuzu was stunned. He hadn't even touched the jinchuriki yet.
Why did the jinchuriki suddenly go berserk?
In the shadows, Kazuma secretly unrolled a scroll, eyes lighting up.
'It went berserk on its own?'
'Great timing!'
Kazuma bit his finger, swiped it across the scroll, and then slapped the scroll onto the ground.
A huge formation silently spread across the ground.
["Eh?"], Kushina, who was inside controlling Naruto, felt confused, 'Naruto's seal has actually loosened?'
If earlier she was prying the door open a crack, now it felt more like holes were being punched around the doorframe.
'Looks like more than one group has ideas about Naruto.'
Although Kushina was mentally prepared for Naruto being coveted, now she was really pissed.
"ROAR!"
As she spoke, the leaked chakra on Naruto grew thicker.
Naruto quickly grew a second tail.
Whether Anbu or Kakuzu, they both found this troublesome.
At this moment, a roar came from the distance, "HOW DARE YOU!"
Jiraiya had heard the sound of battle from afar. By the time he arrived, he had already entered Sage Mode with the help of two toads.
After all, this was no trivial matter involving the Nine-Tails.
Sage Art: Toad Oil Needle Barrage!
Jiraiya leapt into the air, curled midair, and fired a barrage of hair needles.
The target included both Kakuzu and the Earth Grudge Fear.
With the power of Sage Art, the needle barrage was tremendously powerful.
And incredibly fast.
The Wind and Fire Earth Grudge Fear instantly scattered, but it was too late.
The Fire-natured Earth Grudge Fear was riddled with holes.
The Wind-natured Earth Grudge Fear quickly reconnected with Kakuzu.
The other two were closer, instantly burrowing back into Kakuzu's body.
Massive Earth Grudge Fear threads erupted from Kakuzu's body, and he used Earth Release: Stone Spear to barely defend against the needle barrage.
As Jiraiya landed, Kakuzu finally sighed in relief.
He released the Stone Spear hardening, and countless hair needles fell off him to the ground.
If that had lasted two more seconds, the Stone Spear would've broken.
"ROAR!"
Kushina saw that Jiraiya had arrived, but she was full of resentment toward him.
Back then, Naruto's name was even taken from his novel by Minato.
And yet Naruto lived such a dog-like life in Konoha.
The Nine-Tails' chakra was already extremely violent. Even though Kushina could control it, she still wanted to beat Jiraiya up.
The third and fourth tails rapidly appeared behind Naruto.
Jiraiya grew anxious and charged forward.
Seeing Kakuzu blocking the front, Jiraiya raised a hand. ARasengan appeared.
Then, within moments, it expanded dozens of times.
Sage Art: Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan!
