Konoha.
In a clearing outside the village.
A mini version of Kurama sat in front of the TV with a gamepad in his hands, scenes from fighting games appeared on the TV screen.
A shinobi sat nearby, also holding a gamepad.
"This is my strongest move.... Now Grandpa will show it to you!"
Kurama quickly tapped the gamepad and stared at the screen, the nine tails behind him moving steadily.
On the screen.
His character was covered in blood, while Nara Yoshihisa's character had only light wounds.
When Kurama began to attack, Yoshihisa instantly concentrated, his fingers abruptly speeding up several times, quickly pressing a complex combination of buttons.
Crack!
Bang! Bang!
Boom!!!
Under Kurama's shocked gaze, his character faced a brutal series of blows and fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.
"K.O!"
A sound came from the TV.
Yoshihisa turned his head and said, "This is too boring, I was fully prepared for this. Mr. Kurama, your techniques are too monotonous, in fact, I only hit you with two fingers..."
Crack! Crack!!!!
His words ended abruptly.
Kurama's body began to tremble and the fur all over his body bristled like an unkempt cat, one of the tails rose vertically and the gamepad clenched in his hand began to crackle.
Yoshihisa flinched, quickly jumped to the side and said, "Kurama-sama?!"
Kurama dropped the gamepad to the ground and growled, "Damn it.... Again!"
Yoshihisa flinched and said, "If it was necessary to give a little...."
"Bastard!"
Kurama spat in Yoshihisa's face, "You mean if you fight with all your might, Grandpa Kurama will never be able to defeat you?"
Yoshihisa opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly lowered his head.
He was never particularly talented in the Nara clan, including very poor progress in shadow imitation techniques, and he was still a mere Genin, but still, Yoshihisa has some talent: he is very good at games.
Therefore, when Kurama became interested in games, Yoshihisa was sent to serve him.
After replacing the gamepad, he started a new game.
Crack!!!
The gamepad in Kurama's hands made another crack and broke.
Yoshihisa, who was sitting next to him, was covered in cold sweat and shivering violently. Due to Kurama's earlier words, he did not dare to give in, but at that moment, he felt a new sense of terror.
Crack!
The gamepad in the fox's paws shattered into pieces.
Kurama's fur, now little more than a normal person, stood on end, and his tails and ears bristled.
Boom!
A network of cracks would drill through the ground around him.
The moment the atmosphere became extremely heavy, one of Kurama's tails twitched and spun in a certain direction like an antenna.
After a moment, Kurama abruptly turned his head in the same direction.
"This chakra..."
He gritted his teeth, feeling the extremely familiar and hateful fluctuations of the chakra.
It was Senju Hashirama's chakra!
Just then, Yeruashi's figure appeared nearby.
"Hokage-sama!"
Yoshihisa stood up abruptly and exclaimed as if he saw a life straw.
But Yeruashi, who was wearing the Hokage cloak, paid no attention to him, but looked off into the distance and said, "Have they finally started acting?"
"Hey! Yeruashi! Give me the chakra!!!"
Kurama looked at Yeruashi and growled, his eyes bloodshot, "Give me the chakra, I'm going to beat this bastard up!"
Yeruashi looked at Kurama and Naru Yoshihisa, then noticed many broken gamepads scattered on the floor.
The corners of Yeruashi's mouth twisted and he began to vaguely understand what was going on here.
He wanted to say that Kurama had no chance of defeating Hashirama in the Edo Tensei state, but he decided not to disturb the fox, who was already on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and quickly transferred all the chakra.
Whoosh!!!
A huge volume of chakra gushed out of Yeruashi's body and headed towards Kurama.
The fox's body began to grow rapidly, returning to its normal size in the blink of an eye.
At the same time.
On the other side.
Hashirama and Sakumo were already very close to Konoha.
Hashirama's expression changed abruptly as he ran ahead.
"This chakra is the ... Kyubi?!"
Previously, he had vaguely sensed the chakra fluctuations of the Kyubi of Konoha, but they were too weak, so Hashirama had some doubts.
But now, these faint chakra fluctuations had increased dramatically many times over.
From this distance, it was already possible to see the huge figure of the Kyubi outside of Konoha.
"Kyubi?"
Sakumo also showed a hint of shock and said, "The Kyubi has been released? Why did it happen at this time..."
When Sakumo opened her mouth in shock, the Kyubi suddenly roared loudly.
"Senju Hashirama!!!"
The giant fox charged in his direction with a furious roar.
Kurama swung his paw furiously as he approached.
The entire ground in front of him was covered with a large amount of cracks, and a terrifying amount of chakra rushed towards Hashirama and Sakumo.
But Hashirama simply performed a series of hand seals, remaining completely calm and focused.
"Mokuton: Hbi no Jutsu!" (Wood Element: Hbi Jutsu)
Boom!
Her figure was immediately covered by a domed protection in the shape of a dragon's face and, in the next moment, Kurama's blow landed on her.
The impact was accompanied by a terrifying rumble, and the surrounding ground was covered with many cracks, but the domed wooden defense showed virtually no signs of damage.
"Such chakra..."
Sakumo, in the aftermath of the attack, involuntarily flew backwards and barely managed to stand, but in the next moment, Sakumo's own body rushed towards Konoha, not allowing him to do anything.
Whoosh!!!
His figure passed by, approaching the Konoha ninja in the blink of an eye, and drew a sword. A heavy blow rushed at the ninja's neck and, at the moment of the blow, the sword was enveloped in extremely dense chakra.
Sakumo paled visibly and exclaimed, "Watch out! Dodge quickly!!!"
But it was too late.
This was an ordinary Konoha Chuunin and all his attention was focused on Kurama's quick flash, Of course he didn't have a chance to evade the Konoha White Fang's attack!
With Sakumo's scream, he could barely catch the quick movement of the blade that glowed with a white light and showed a look of horror.
In the next instant, his head would be severed by Sakumo's sword.
But at that moment.
Klang!
A hand reached out from the side, with incredible speed, and gently struck Sakumo's sword with its index finger.
The sword broke in the middle.
"So fast!!!"
Sakumo's eyes snapped open, and his body immediately swung the sword in the direction of the figure that appeared.
Whoosh!
The figure raised its palm and firmly blocked the blow without the slightest hint of retreat, on the contrary, it caused Sakumo to stagger back a few steps.
At that moment, Sakumo finally got a good look at the figure that had just stopped him.
With a startled expression, he said: "You .... you..."
Yeruashi slowly lowered his hand and said quietly, "I'm sorry for disturbing you from your deep sleep..."
"Otou-sama."
