Naruto, my father's name is Uchiha Madara.

As the most powerful of the tailed beasts, it was well aware of the importance of this secret.

For millennia, humanity has relentlessly hunted the Tailed Beasts in pursuit of power. If they were to discover that the nine Tailed Beasts were originally one entity...

It glanced at Madara's crimson Sharingan, then recalled the being imprisoned on the moon.

Finally, Kurama spoke: "...Legend has it that he is the progenitor of chakra, the true form of the nine tailed beasts."

A strange light flashed in Madara's eyes: "Oh? What do you mean?"

Nine-Tailed Fox snorted, its tail slapping the water's surface in annoyance: "I don't know much either, I've only heard a few things from the old man Rokudo."

"The Ten-Tails is the aggregate of our nine tailed beasts, and its true form possesses the power to destroy the world. The Sage of Six Paths sealed it within his own body and divided its chakra into us, the nine tailed beasts you are familiar with."

Madara gazed thoughtfully into the distance: "So... in my dream, I was controlling the Ten-Tails with someone?"

The water surface suddenly exploded, and the Nine-Tails abruptly stood up, its fur standing on end: "Who knows? However, if someone can truly control the Ten-Tails, then besides the Six Paths Elder, there's probably only..."

Its words abruptly stopped, and its fox eyes narrowed slightly, as if it were thinking about something.

Spotted stared at it: "Only what?"

Nine-Tails' ears twitched a few times, then it finally shook its head: "No, it's nothing, maybe I'm just overthinking it."

It did not utter that name—Kaguya Otsutsuki.

That was the true progenitor of chakra, whom even the Sage of Six Paths had to seal away.

If it really is that person, then the world is probably doomed.

Ban snorted coldly: "Hesitating like that isn't like you."

Kurama grinned, its sharp fangs gleaming coldly: "What? The mighty Madara Uchiha, actually so concerned about a dream? Could it be that he's getting old and starting to become sentimental?"

The blue Susanoo instantly condensed, and its enormous fist slammed down with a whistling sound.

Nine-Tails nimbly leaped away, blasting a huge crater into the spot where it had been standing.

"Looks like that punch wasn't strong enough," Ban said coldly.

The Nine-Tailed Fox immediately assumed a defensive stance, its nine tails spreading out like a screen: "Hey! I'm just stating the facts!"

Madara did not continue the pursuit, but instead recalled Susanoo and turned to walk into the depths of the sealed space.

Seeing Madara's back, Kurama said, "Anyway, it's just a dream, it can't be real. Taking a dream as reality, that's not like you."

Madara ignored Kurama's words and continued walking on his own.

A dream? The feeling of reality was something Ban didn't consider a dream.

If Madara hadn't suddenly woken up and found himself still in the sealed space, he would have thought that was reality.

Moreover, Madara felt a strange sense of familiarity with the name Ten-Tails.

It's as if I have a plan to carry out with the Ten-Tails as the core.

The more irritating the spot became, the more it smacked its lips.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew better than anyone that the reason he was irritable was not the Ten-Tails, nor those lost memories.

In fact, it was in his dream that he actually attacked Naruto.

Madara has now decided that it's best if this is really just a dream, otherwise, even if the person on the other side is really himself resurrected from Edo Tensei.

You're dead meat!

Finally, in a place where no one knew him, Ban made a fierce decision.

Chapter 16 The plan begins

The tranquility of Konoha Hospital, shrouded in morning mist, was broken by a series of hurried footsteps.

When the medical ninja on duty looked up, he saw Itachi Uchiha, covered in blood, helping Shisui, who had lost his right eye, break through the door.

"Quick! Emergency treatment!"

The weasel's voice was like a taut bowstring.

Shizuku's face was covered with dried blood, and his empty right eye socket was wrapped with a blood-stained bandage.

The most shocking thing was the glass bottle he was holding tightly in his hand—with a scarlet Sharingan floating inside.

The medical team erupted in chaos.

"It's Uchiha Shisui!"

"His eyes... oh my god!"

As the stretcher rolled down the corridor, Shisui quietly grabbed Itachi's sleeve and whispered, "According to the plan... say..."

The weasel nodded almost imperceptibly.

The Third Hokage's pipe made a crisp sound as it tapped on his desk.

"You're saying... Danzo attacked Shisui?"

Sunlight streamed through the window and fell on the old man's face, each wrinkle holding the weight of a storm.

Itachi knelt on one knee, his back ramrod straight: "This morning at three o'clock, I found Shisui-senpai downstream of the Naka River. At that time, Lord Danzo was ordering Root to seize his Sharingan."

After a well-timed pause, Itachi took out a blood-stained scroll from his robes: "This was found on a member of Root."

The parchment clearly records the detailed plan for the "Nine-Tails Chakra Induction Experiment," and is stamped with the "Root" seal at the end.

"They plan to release the Jinchuriki's chakra near the Uchiha clan's territory to create the illusion of a riot..." Itachi's voice trailed off, "...and Shisui-senpai overheard this plan by chance..."

The third generation's palm suddenly shattered the corner of the table!

The ashtray was shaken off and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

The secret agents eavesdropping outside the office collectively shuddered.

The last time I saw the Third Hokage so enraged was many years ago.

After all, the Third Hokage had always been gentle and kind, but this time he was so angry, which showed just how furious he was.

Soon, in the intensive care unit, Zhi Shui lay on the pale sheets, like a puppet whose life had been drained.

When the third generation pushed open the door, his only remaining left eye struggled to focus.

"Hokage... Lord..."

The third generation stopped him from bowing, his gaze fixed on the empty eye socket: "The medical team said the best time for an eye transplant is..."

"Please listen to me first."

Shisui suddenly grabbed the Third Hokage's wrist with astonishing force: "Danzo is going to trigger a second Nine-Tails attack!"

The morning light outside the window was suddenly obscured by dark clouds.

Shisui, trembling, held up the glass bottle: "He gouged out my eyes... to control Jinchūriki using Kotoamatsukami."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the bottle containing his eyes: "Luckily, Itachi arrived in time..."

When the Third Hokage took the bottle, he noticed that Shisui had injuries that only Root members could inflict, and his eyes turned cold.

"The Anbu reported this morning that Naruto is missing." The Third Hokage's voice suddenly sounded ten years older. "What do you think...?"

Tears welled in Shisui's single eye: "Save that child... he'll be turned into a weapon..."

This meticulously crafted lie, like a poisoned kunai, precisely pierced the most vulnerable memories of three generations.

As the old man turned around, his divine robe billowed out in a resolute arc.

The shadowy figures in the corridor instantly knelt down.

"Issue Danzo Shimura for treason!" The Third Hokage's voice shook the glass. "Search all Root strongholds!"

All the secret agents responded in unison, and then Shun disappeared.

Meanwhile, the rising sun in the east was becoming increasingly dazzling, spreading a vibrant sense of life.

Madara controlled Naruto's body, standing on a high cliff at the edge of the forest.

He looked down at the scattered Uchiha mansions below, a cold smile curving his lips.

"let's start."

"Just this once!"

Upon hearing Madara's command, Kurama began to release its chakra.

A large amount of scarlet chakra surged into Naruto's body through the seal, and in an instant, he exploded like a lit bomb.

"roar--!!!"

A deafening roar echoed through the sky, and crimson chakra erupted from Naruto's body like a volcanic eruption.

A violent energy storm instantly swept across an area of ​​hundreds of meters, uprooting towering ancient trees and causing the ground to crack like a spider web under the intense heat.

Naruto's body was gradually enveloped by materialized chakra, forming a terrifying fox cloak.

His skin was burned away by the scorching chakra, revealing scarlet muscle tissue.

Four tails, each as thick as a python, extend from the spine and are made of pure malice.

The facial bones are twisted and deformed, the canines elongate into fangs, and the corners of the mouth are torn to the base of the ears.

His once azure eyes were completely replaced by beastly vertical pupils, flowing with a ferocious light like lava.

"Four-Tails form... is enough."

Ban sensed this violent power and precisely controlled the area of ​​destruction.

He deliberately retained a sliver of rationality, making this "rampage" appear both real and controllable.

"Alright, the show is about to begin!"

A chakra tail swept across, instantly leveling the Uchiha training ground.

The wooden targets turned to ashes in the high temperature, and the ground of the shuriken practice area was plowed with trenches three meters deep.

The second tail slammed into the outer wall of the clan's territory, shattering the thick stone wall like paper.

Amidst the flying debris, several patrolling Uchiha ninjas were thrown back by the shockwave.

"Enemy attack! It's the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki going berserk!"
