Hokage : My Nine tails are getting more and more

Chapter 61: Chapter 60: To Save Companions at the Critical Moment



At twelve years old, you graduate from the Ninja Academy and are assigned to Team 7, consisting of Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, and led by Hatake Kakashi. When given the choice to accept this arrangement, you decide to proceed, knowing Kakashi's reputation as an excellent instructor.

During the bell test, Sasuke recklessly charges at Kakashi but is quickly subdued. Sakura falls victim to an illusion, leaving you hidden in the shadows. You recall that teamwork is the key to passing and decide to save Sasuke and Sakura. Although you manage to free them, Kakashi easily overpowers all three of you. To test your character further, Kakashi ties you to a tree and forbids the others from sharing their food with you.

Despite Sakura's harsh words labeling you a "monster," Sasuke secretly unties you and shares his meal. Kakashi, observing from afar, approves and declares the team's unity sufficient to pass. He emphasizes the importance of teamwork, setting the foundation for future missions.

Team 7 embarks on its first significant mission to the Land of Waves. Despite your concealed strength, the mission proceeds without issues. At one point, the system tempts you with the choice of defecting from Konoha. However, you recognize your lack of strength and the risks posed by the Akatsuki, and decide to remain.

Chūnin Exams Begin

When the Chūnin Exams start, you eagerly participate. During the Forest of Death, Orochimaru attacks Sasuke. You seize the opportunity to face Orochimaru with your full power. Though your efforts impress him, Orochimaru marks you with the Curse Seal of Heaven. However, the Nine Tails within you rejects the foreign chakra and destroys the curse mark, leaving Orochimaru shocked but intrigued.

Meeting Jiraiya

After surviving the second stage of the exams, you encounter Jiraiya, who offers to train you. Recognizing this as a turning point for your growth, you accept without hesitation. During the initial assessment, you reveal your true strength, leading Jiraiya to ask why you've been hiding it. You respond thoughtfully, explaining your strategy to remain underestimated and protect your teammates in critical moments. Satisfied with your reasoning, Jiraiya begins to train you earnestly.

The Invasion of Konoha

During the third stage of the Chūnin Exams, Orochimaru and Sand Shinobi launch their assault on Konoha. You confront Gaara, who has unleashed Shukaku, and successfully subdue him. Returning to the battlefield, you witness the Four Purple Flame Formation imprisoning the Third Hokage, Orochimaru, and the reincarnated First and Second Hokages.

Despite his valiant efforts, Sarutobi Hiruzen sacrifices himself to seal Orochimaru's arms. As Orochimaru attempts to escape amidst the chaos, he reveals a shocking truth: you are the son of the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato. This revelation, combined with the injustices you've endured, causes you to lose control. Consumed by anger, the Nine Tails takes over your body, leading to a destructive rampage.

The Konoha Shinobi, hesitant to harm you, are urged into action by Jiraiya, who calls you a "fox demon" to provoke them into sealing you. Though this act subdues you, it leaves a deep scar, making you feel betrayed by your master.

Reconciliation and Reflection

After regaining consciousness, you find yourself restrained by seals. Weak and disheartened, Jiraiya apologizes for his actions, explaining that it was necessary to protect Konoha. Though initially conflicted, you choose to forgive him, acknowledging your own lapse in control. You tell him, "Master, I understand that your intention was to protect the village. That is our mission as shinobi. I should have been more vigilant and not allowed Nine Tails to take over. The fault lies with me."

Looking Ahead

With tensions eased, Jiraiya resumes your training, helping you prepare for the challenges ahead. You resolve to grow stronger—not just for revenge or recognition, but to protect the village and the bonds you've formed.
