Naruto: Konoha's Kanpu

"Orochimaru?!"

Hearing this familiar cold voice, Kanpū was startled.

'I thought Orochimaru would appear as Yondaime Kazekage like in the original work. I didn't expect him to be a 'beauty snake'!

'I almost made an empiricist error and wronged Yondaime Kazekage.'

"Orochimaru, you finally showed up."

Minato sat stably, his calm blue eyes fixed on the roaring One-Tail Shukaku at the center of the arena, showing an attitude as if he completely disregarded Orochimaru.

Orochimaru wasn't annoyed by this and smiled eerily, "So, do you like the gift I've prepared for you, Yondaime Hokage-sama?"

"I advise you to surrender obediently." Minato sighed.

Orochimaru grinned widely, "Don't be hasty. The Biju you see is not the only gift I've prepared for you!"

Just after he said that, a series of violent explosions echoed from various parts of Konoha.

Those were the Kirigakure, Sunagakure, and Otogakure's Shinobi, who had infiltrated with the participating teams, creating chaos!

In just a few seconds, black smoke billowed, flames soared, and countless frightened screams resounded throughout Konoha!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At the same time, outside Konoha, three armies composed of Kirigakure, Sunagakure, and Otogakure's Shinobi charged out of the forest with roars, throwing ninjutsu of Five-Elements Ninjutsu and Explosive Tags at Konoha's towering outer walls!

Immediately after, the sky suddenly darkened. When everyone looked up, they were shocked to find a colossal object hanging in midair, casting a vast shadow over half of Konoha like a giant floating island. Once it fell freely, it could destroy half of the village!

"Today is the day Konoha falls!"

"Vengeance for Shinno-sama!"

"Vengeance for Land of Sky!"

Countless Land of Sky's Shinobi Ninjas in wing suits jumped down from the aerial fortress, attacking Konoha from above!

"Yondaime Hokage, how are you going to deal with it?" Orochimaru swayed his slender waist as he approached Minato, with a mischievous smile on his face.

Seeing this, Kanpū frowned.

'Something was off about this Orochimaru.'

'Knowing that I can turn him into ashes with a Truth-Seeking Ball, he still dared to get so close?'

'Could this Orochimaru be a fake?'

Kanpū instinctively turned to look at 'Rasa'.

Rasa's muscles tightened, and then said with a smile, "Compared to us, aren't Clan Head Fugaku and Clan Head Kanpū really not planning to do something?"

At this moment, Konoha was facing threats both inside and outside, including a surprise attack from the sky and the rampaging Biju right in front of them. Was just watching really okay?

"Things need to be dealt with one at a time." Minato smiled slightly, then his figure turned into an afterimage and disappeared.

Below.

Naruto, clad in the Biju Cloak, is still standing on the railing and confronting Shukaku.

"Kurama, what do we do next?" Naruto shouted anxiously.

"Just wait, wait a little longer." Deep in the seal world, Kyubi's eyes flickered.

Kyubi's previous plan was to act as a hired thug, helping Naruto defeat Shukaku, the annoying tanuki. First, he would expand the seal's cracks, and second, he would gain the trust of Minato and Kanpū.

But now, things had gotten somewhat unexpected.

'The chaotic explosions inside Konoha, the continuous rumbling outside, and the army of Shinobi in the sky… this was clearly an organized assault on Konoha by other Shinobi Villages!'

'A once-in-a-lifetime…'

'A once-in-a-lifetime chance to escape!'

'What seal cracks to be expanded, and what bullshit trust to be gained?'

'I can just wipe them all out, and take the opportunity to run away!'

Kyubi howled excitedly: "Naruto, immediately give me control of your body. Once I'm out, I can defeat that tanuki, hahaha, hahahaha…"

Amidst Kyubi's wild laughter, a figure passed in front of Naruto.

'Namikaze Minato?'

Naruto couldn't make out the figure clearly, but Kyubi sensed his Chakra and quickly quieted down, fearing to draw Minato's attention.

However, Minato didn't pay attention to Kyubi at all.

He jumped down from the main stand and rushed straight to Shukaku's large, round, and fat belly, and then, pressing his hand against it.

Flying Thunder God Technique!

Whoosh!

A massive, invisible ring of air exploded from beneath Shukaku's buttock, and Shukaku's huge figure over a hundred meters high suddenly vanished before Naruto's eyes.

"Disappeared?" Naruto blinked his eyes twice, looking bewildered.

'It was Minato who used Flying Thunder God Technique to transfer that tanuki away…' Kyubi's fox body trembled, his eyes filled with disbelief and fury!

'Damn it!'

'Just a little more.'

'Just a little more and I could have gotten out!!'

'Now that tanuki is gone, how could Naruto still allow me to come out?'

Kyubi gnashed his teeth, and roared again and again.

Almost instantly.

The spot where Shukaku had vanished suddenly erupted with another invisible ring of air, but this time, Minato is alone.

Kyubi quickly resumed a calm expression, pretending nothing had happened.

...

Fifty kilometers away from Konoha.

At a small hill.

The hundred-meter-tall, tanuki-like Shukaku looked around in a daze, its big belly protruding.

'Wasn't I just... How come now…'

'What just happened?'

Shukaku couldn't comprehend what happened just now, but he knew one thing, that is, he finally came out!

"Howl!!"

Shukaku couldn't help but howl to the sky again.

"You're so noisy." An annoyed voice came from below.

'Who said that!'

Shukaku looked down and saw a red-haired woman standing with her hands on her hips, glaring at him disapprovingly. Next to her, there was also a Konoha's Shinobi wearing a green flak jacket.

"You dare to say that I am noisy…"

Shukaku was enraged, "Die!"

He twisted his massive body, and his huge tail whipped up a fierce gust as it swung toward the red-haired woman.

"Shukaku, you're still as reckless as ever." A rough voice suddenly came from Konoha's Shinobi with the green flak jacket.

Shukaku's entire body stiffened, and his enormous tail stopped mid-swing.

"You! You are…" Shukaku stared at the person in shock and uncertainty.

"It's me!"

As soon as the voice fell, the person's body rapidly expanded, transforming into a giant, one-eyed turtle full of sharp thorns!

"Isobu?!"

Shukaku was forced back two steps by Isobu's spikes, collapsing half of the nearby forest after falling on his but. But he didn't seem to feel anything, and just pointed at the giant turtle, speechless, "You, you, you, you…"

"What's wrong with me?" Isobu lazily swung his three massive tails as he asked.

"Why are you here?"
