Naruto : Hidden Cloud

Two tails incident



Sato and Tsunade stood side by side, surrounded by Root ninjas. Naruto, also standing behind them, was panicked and appeared very confused.

'They are bad guys. They want to attack Sato because he was close to me, the Nine Tails... so this is why Sato never came to see me again.'

Naruto felt immense sadness. He had only one family, and now that family was being threatened because of him.

"Stop it! Sato would never hurt me; he is my brother."

Naruto tried to defend Sato, but the Root ninjas ignored him, maintaining their focus on Sato and Tsunade.

Tsunade, in particular, gained their attention. It was clear that she intended to help Sato.

"Tsunade Senju, move out of the way. You are threatening Konoha's peace by associating with the likes of him."

The Root ninja wanted Tsunade to step aside, not wishing to fight her. Despite being emotionless due to Root training, he didn't want to die by fighting Tsunade.

"Danzo, that old fool! Do you guys have any idea that what you are doing will start a war?"

"Move out of the way. I'll talk to the Hokage myself, and then we will see Konoha's decision about Sato."

Tsunade frowned, attempting to prevent the fight from escalating. If she were younger, she would have fought everyone without hesitation, but she was no longer the ninja she used to be.

Now old and suffering from hemophobia, the fear of blood, she couldn't engage in ninja battles.

"Danzo-sama's order is absolute. Kill him and capture the two."

*Swish*

All the Root ninjas attacked simultaneously, each striking from a different position to maximize damage and ensure Sato couldn't escape.

Naruto was so scared that he fell. Tsunade showed panic in her eyes, knowing blood was about to flow, and her phobia was about to trigger. Meanwhile, Sato had veins popping on his forehead.

"You trash, who do you think I am? I am Sato, the brother of Hellcat Yugito!"

*Growl*

A loud roar escaped Sato's throat as his body increased in size. He stood on all fours, and black and blue fire lit on his body. He had just used the transformation jutsu to assume his strongest form: the full-tailed beast Matatabi.

With Kage-level chakra reserves and two years of intensive training in transformation jutsu, he had perfected this jutsu. This was his ultimate jutsu—a technique he used while training against formidable opponents like Raikage and Killer B.

"What is this?! Monster!"

Every S-class ninja had one thing that made them famous, be it a jutsu or a special way of fighting. This becomes their specialty and could be called their ultimate jutsu.

"Get away! That beast is growing larger! Help!"

An ultimate jutsu was a jutsu that cannot be cracked by regular Ninjas, be it the black lightning armor of the third Raikage, Tsunade's complete regeneration, or Hashirama's true several thousand hands; all of them deserve the name of ultimate jutsu.

"This is just like that day, it's just like.."

"The nine tails!"

Screams rang across Konoha, with Matatabi's S-class chakra reserves; Sato's transformed tailed beast was no longer the size of a small house, but the size of a complete Matatabi.

This is what made Matatabi transformation Sato's ultimate jutsu; the sheer size of a tailed beast with a Kage-level ninja's experience made his fake Matatabi almost as strong as a real jinchuriki.

Until his temporary chakra runs out, fighting Sato was like fighting a jinchuriki, even if Sato's massive strength was a one-time thing; this one time was enough to kill 99% of ninjas in this world.

"Two tails! This is two tails!"

An old Konoha Ninja screamed; this was a veteran who had fought against the previous jinchuriki of Matatabi; she retired exactly because of that incident, and now seeing Matatabi once again almost gave her a heart attack.

Sato, who had completed his fake transformation, growled and looked down at the Root Ninjas.

"You trash wanted to kill me?! Go ahead then, ask Danzo to come out; let's see what that senile old fool can do."

What Sato was doing was no longer just talking; his massive size and loud voice were like a war declaration at full volume.

The Root Ninjas dared to attack him in the middle of the street, so he dared to transform in the middle of Konoha.

His sheer size made him stand as tall as the Hokage Rocks; his words were loud enough to echo around the village, and this let everyone understand who the culprit of this incident was.

"Danzo?! Who is that moron? Why did he attack such a monster in the middle of Konoha!"

"Who is Danzo?? Who the hell is it!"

"Kill him! Kill him or the monster will kill us!"

The Konoha civilians panicked and started doing their usual thing, bullying the weaker party to feel better, which in this case was Danzo.

Most civilians didn't even know who this Danzo guy was, but they assumed he was definitely not as scary as the nine tails.. eer, the two tails.

"This is not good."

The Root Ninja captain was sweating; even his emotionless personality didn't stop him from feeling instinctive fear. Of course, he was still a Root Ninja, so he showed no reaction whatsoever.

Even in the face of death, these guys dared to fight; even now, they were afraid not for their own lives but for Danzo's.

*BOOM*

But instantly the captain no longer felt fear, as he was squished to death by Sato.

"Gutter rats, all of you! Root? What a joke, you reek of blood, your outfits stink, your presence stinks, your soul stinks, you worthless trash get out of my sight."

Sato growled in anger but was fully calm internally; he had already finished doing what he wanted to do; the entire Konoha was in a state of panic and the responsibility was completely on Danzo's head.

Sato never wanted to fight against Konoha; his intention was solely to frame Danzo; he wasn't foolish enough to think he could beat Konoha with 4 S-class ninjas, 3 if Tsunade wasn't able to help.

He just wanted Danzo to suffer. But to blame Danzo he had to do something drastic or the third Hokage would save him.

"Stop! Sato-kun!"

What he did just now could be considered quite drastic, as the Hokage was currently yelling and running towards him with his war armor.

This armor was worn by the Third Hokage only when he was about to fight a war; he wore it twice in the original story, first time against the nine tails and second time against Orochimaru, Edo Tobirama, and Edo Hashirama combo.

'He is in his fighting gear?? Don't tell me he actually wants to fight me..? Does he love Danzo so much that he would risk going against Hidden Cloud?'

"I see, love is indeed blind."

Sato twitched his eyes; his transformed body lay low, ready to pounce on the Third Hokage.

'All I ever wanted to do was take the Uchiha and get out of Konoha; how did it become like this.. sigh.'

Sato sighed, meanwhile, the Hokage, now in his war armor, yelled in a fearful voice.

"Sato-kun, stop this immediately! We can resolve this without violence."

Sato heard this, and his eyes widened; he realised the third wasn't here to fight. If this was the case, he knew exactly what he had to do.

He would resort to Hidden Cloud's usual business—beat people up and ask them for compensation!

All he needed to do was act tough for a while, and the Hokage would give in to his demands.

"You think I'll just stop? You let your dogs attack me in the middle of the village!"

The Third Hokage, facing the colossal transformed Sato, seemed wary.

"This isn't the solution. We can discuss this peacefully; there's no need for further destruction."

But Sato acted as if he was beyond reasoning; he had to show some form of dissatisfaction to get the maximum benefits.

At first, Sato wanted to frame Danzo and run away, but the Third Hokage's attitude gave him another option. He would fight the Hokage first and ask him for some money on top of that.

This way, not only would he gain the Uchiha clan's loyalty, but he would also make Danzo miserable and secure a large amount of monetary compensation.

Sato had perfectly inherited Hidden Cloud's will; beating people up and taking their stuff was almost instinctual at this point.

"You allowed Danzo to threaten me and my family, Naruto, and Tsunade Nii-san! Now, face the consequences!"

Sato lunged forward, his massive form intimidating. The Third Hokage widened his eyes and braced himself, ready for a clash that could shake Konoha to its core.

The chaos spread as civilians fled in fear, and Root ninjas scrambled to protect Danzo. The atmosphere filled with tension, and the once happy village now echoed with the roars of a colossal beast.

As the two formidable forces collided, it seemed the fate of Konoha was up in the air. With Sato's fury and the Third Hokage's growing resolve, a fight was about to take place that could reshape the village's destiny.
