Naruto: Uchiha Survivor Forced to Save the Shinobi World

The Nine Tails, towering like a massive mountain, was swinging its nine colossal tails while howling towards the moon in the center of the village!

This scene.

For many villagers, it brought back the terrifying memories buried deep in their hearts!

That Nine Tails rampage from years ago had become an unforgettable nightmare for many of the older villagers in the Hidden Leaf.

Many had lost parents, friends, and loved ones on that dreadful night.

The village had paid a heavy price, including the sacrifice of the Fourth Hokage, just to barely suppress that disaster.

Now, the terrifying figure of the Nine Tails had appeared once again!

It was almost identical to that night years ago!

From a distance.

With a look of shock, Uchiha Shinji leapt up onto a large tree.

Was that earlier explosion aimed at Naruto?

Occupied with his own matters, he hadn't paid much attention to the explosion earlier.

But now, seeing the Nine Tails rampaging through the village, he realized that the earlier attack was likely targeting Naruto, the Nine Tails Jinchūriki.

But…

His heart was soon filled with confusion.

In the original timeline, Naruto had lost control before, but he had never revealed the true form of the Nine Tails like this.

Normally, when Naruto lost control, it started with the Chakra tails leaking out.

The more Chakra tails leaked, the worse the situation. During his battle with Pain, Naruto had revealed eight Chakra tails, almost fully releasing the Nine Tails.

But this time, it looked like Naruto had not only lost control but had completely lost consciousness.

Who did this?!

The more Shinji thought about it, the more anxious he became.

To render Naruto, who had the Uzumaki clan's Sage Body and was the Jinchūriki, completely unconscious, the injuries must have been severe.

Was the enemy trying to destroy the Hidden Leaf?

Boom boom boom!

After its howl, the Nine Tails began wreaking havoc!

It vented its anger on the Hidden Leaf, causing destruction that would normally require countless explosive tags or large-scale ninjutsu, simply by swiping its massive claws.

As a result.

The sounds of explosions, shouts, screams, and sobbing filled the sky above the Hidden Leaf.

Faced with such a scene, even Shinji, who was far away and watching from the outskirts, felt his heart pounding with fear, let alone the villagers near the Nine Tails!

His throat went dry, and he muttered to himself, "Is this what a Tailed Beast is?"

In front of such a monster, humans were utterly insignificant.

He recalled how, during the last Nine Tails rampage, because the Nine Tails had clearly been under the control of the Sharingan, Danzo had forbidden the Uchiha clan from joining the battle.

That decision had cost the village dearly.

Now, even if the village wanted the Uchiha to step in, there were none left, as the Uchiha clan had been wiped out.

At that moment, Shinji suddenly froze, Uh, wait, I'm an Uchiha, aren't I?

The thought had barely crossed his mind before he shook his head.

Facing the Nine Tails with his little body would be suicide!

Besides.

He had already exhausted a lot of his ocular power in recent days, and if Coalball failed to complete the mission, it was hard to say how many more times he could fend off the next invasion. Recklessly wasting his power now would be unwise.

There are plenty of powerful figures in the Hidden Leaf. They don't need a Uchiha survivor like me to deal with the Nine Tails!

Shinji tore his gaze away from the rampaging Nine Tails and leapt down from the tree, heading back toward his apartment.

Yet the entire way, he couldn't shake his unease.

He kept thinking about whether any of his classmates might be near the rampaging Nine Tails, whether Naruto would survive, whether the naïve Shion would rush in to meddle, or whether the barbecue restaurant they had eaten at earlier would be destroyed by the Nine Tails…

Even he didn't know why he was thinking of all these random things.

The constant explosions and cries in the distance were making him more and more irritated, more and more frustrated!

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.

His normally dark pupils had unknowingly turned a deep crimson.

Tsk, am I going to become the 'fastest legend' of the Mangekyō Sharingan clan?

He realized that if he continued acting on impulse like this, he'd probably become the Uchiha with the Mangekyō Sharingan who went blind the fastest!

Sighing, he put on his mask.

Then, looking toward the towering inferno where the Nine Tails raged, he said, "It's not like I'm doing this to save people or anything. I just can't stand the sight of you!"

Swish.

With a flicker, he sped toward the Nine Tails!

Meanwhile, Sasuke fled in confusion.

"I was just skipping stones… how did things suddenly turn into this?"

Even now, he had no idea what was happening.

All he could do was instinctively run, not daring to stop for a second.

But disaster seemed to follow him like a shadow, no matter where he fled. The sounds of explosions and crying surrounded him, haunting his every step.

On the streets.

One shinobi after another rushed past him, hurrying toward the Nine Tails.

But they were like sandcastles against a tidal wave, swept away instantly by the force of the Nine Tails, leaving no trace behind.

The road ahead of Sasuke had already become a wasteland.

He could only crawl forward through the rubble, using both hands and feet, his vision clouded by dust, unable to tell north from south.

He had no idea where to run.

At that moment, more and more shinobi from the Hidden Leaf were arriving from all directions.

But against the furious Nine Tails, these shinobi were like moths to a flame, quickly perishing under the creature's onslaught.

Amid the explosions and the collapse of buildings, the cries became sparse.

Crawling on all fours through the debris, Sasuke suddenly stopped.

He stared at a shattered mirror in the rubble, dazed.

In the reflection, his face was full of terror, and he lay on the ground like a dog with its spine broken.

"Damn it, I'm a proud Uchiha! How could I look so pathetic?"

With effort, he forced himself to stand up, turning to face the Nine Tails.

Even Sasuke didn't notice that, at that moment, his eyes turned a deep crimson, and a single dark tomoe slowly appeared.

At first.

The Nine Tails didn't pay attention to Sasuke, this tiny figure standing among the rubble.

But when Sasuke activated his Sharingan, and the unique Yin Release Chakra of the Sharingan leaked out, the Nine Tails immediately sensed it.

"Sharingan!!!"

Filled with boundless hatred, the Nine Tails lowered its head and glared at Sasuke.

Seeing the enormous Nine Tails glaring at him with such malice, the courage Sasuke had just mustered vanished in an instant.

The Nine Tails, lowering its head, slowly approached Sasuke: "Why… why is it always the cursed Uchiha!"

Sasuke trembled all over, so tense he forgot to fight back.

Thinking of the times he had been enslaved and controlled by the Sharingan, the Nine Tails could no longer contain its fury. Raising its massive paw, it swiped at Sasuke with a deafening roar.

Am I… about to die?

Frozen in place, Sasuke's mind was filled with this single thought.

But just as he awaited the coming of death, the Nine Tails' massive paw stopped inches from him!

He looked up.

Somehow, the vertical pupils of the Nine Tails had turned into the pattern of the Sharingan…
