They paid their respects, and the Third Hokage was finally gone. Minato looked toward Naruto.
"Naruto, what about the other shinobi?" he asked.
Naruto turned his eyes back. "Many of them are dead, Dad. Some of them have fled from the village. I've ordered my ki signature not to attack anyone who chooses to leave. After all, we will need survivors. I have to explain the entire situation."
At that moment, the Tsuchikage—already severely injured from his battle with Kakashi—was slumped in pain. Meanwhile, Guy had stepped in to fight the Raikage after the Raikage recklessly attacked Itachi. Though wounded, Itachi had managed to hold his own until help arrived.
Guy, having trained with Naruto for a long time, was far stronger than his canon counterpart. Opening the Seventh Gate, he clashed with the Raikage in a brutal exchange of power.
Meanwhile, Kakashi had managed to force the lower half of the Tsuchikage's body into his Kamui dimension, effectively killing him.
As Naruto explained everything to the remaining forces, Itachi suddenly stepped back. His Sharingan activated—he was receiving a report from his younger brother, Sasuke.
Before anyone could react, a hand pierced through Itachi's chest.
All the shinobi turned in shock.
Itachi, weakened and with only one eye remaining after using Izanagi, turned his head in pain.
The attacker was none other than the Raikage, his face twisted in hatred and fury.
"You… you took everything from us! Our business, our reputation, our chance at vengeance. And when we tried to kill you, you didn't even give us the honor of that. So now, you'll pay," the Raikage snarled.
"If I've lost everything… then you will lose your precious Sensei!"
With those words, he channeled a massive surge of lightning chakra into his hand, electrocuting Itachi's body from the inside out.
Itachi—already on the verge of collapse—was helpless. He was trying to activate Izanagi again, but the Raikage's chakra was disrupting his own, making it impossible.
Before anyone could fully grasp what had happened, Itachi's body was destroyed—reduced to ash, as if erased from existence.
No one could understand it.
How could this be happening?
The Raikage, bleeding heavily, let out a mad, broken laugh, smirking as blood dripped from his lips.
Minato moved to teleport in front of the Raikage, but suddenly… the entire atmosphere shifted.
All of Konoha—and even the elemental nations—felt it.
A presence loomed over all the lands.
It was the presence of utter death.
Naruto's eyes locked onto the Raikage with unimaginable hatred. The ground beneath Konoha trembled violently. Minato reached out to grab Naruto—but was forced back as a burning red aura flared around Naruto's body like wildfire.
The Raikage's eyes widened in terror. He instantly realized the gravity of the situation and barked an order for his shinobi to retreat immediately—but it was already far too late.
The air shook with raw, overwhelming power.
This wasn't just chakra—it was something deeper, something primal.
Itachi had been Naruto's friend—no, more than that. He had been one of his first true companions, a mentor. Even if Naruto hadn't learned much about chakra from him, he had learned something far more valuable: about life, about the world of the living.
Itachi was his brother in everything but blood.
And now he was gone.
Naruto's soul roared with grief. Unknowingly, he had shattered a mental barrier he had long placed on himself. He had used much of Jiren's power in the past—but only fragments. At most, 20–25% of his true strength. The full 100% had remained sealed behind his own mental restraint.
But now…
Now, nothing mattered.
His brother had died in front of him. And he—despite all this power—could do nothing.
He blamed himself.
If only he hadn't played around with Orochimaru.
If only he had handled everything himself—Menma, Mito, Danzo, Orochimaru—all of them. He had the power. He could have ended it all in an instant. Even the Kage wouldn't have lasted a second if he had truly fought with intent.
But he hesitated. He let it drag on.
And now Itachi was dead.
It was all his fault.
His guilt, anger, and self-hatred shattered the last chains holding his power back.
He let out a final, earth-shaking roar.
A tsunami of burning red energy exploded from his body and surged into the sky. The heavens darkened as if mourning. The land below shattered—mountains crumbled in seconds. The very fabric of reality around him shook as if it couldn't bear the force of what was being released.
Minato shouted, "Everyone—RUN!"
There was nothing else they could do.
The Raikage stood frozen, trembling—his bones rattling in terror.
What kind of monster had he just awakened?
Naruto's crimson eyes locked onto him with pure fury.
Then—he vanished.
No one could track his movement.
And in the next instant—
The Raikage was grabbed brutally by the throat, hoisted into the air as if he weighed nothing.
His eyes vanished from everyone's sight, and in the next moment, the Raikage was grabbed roughly by the neck.
Naruto launched himself into the sky toward a specific direction. Minato looked toward his son, who was flying away at such speed, and he quickly realized the direction Naruto was heading in. A sudden realization struck—he was going toward Kumogakure.
Meanwhile, the Raikage was struggling to process what to do, but his mind wasn't functioning properly due to the overwhelming fear he felt at that moment. He had unleashed a monster upon the world and now had no idea how to stop it. Then, suddenly, his thoughts snapped into focus and his face turned pale with dread. Naruto was heading to Kumo.
He felt fear—not for himself, but for his people, for his village.
Naruto glared at him.
"You wanted to take something from me? Well, congratulations. You took my brother. But let me tell you… you're going to lose far more than a brother. After all… I'm here now."
A dark, twisted smirk spread across Naruto's face. With the mental barrier that once held back his power shattered, his personality had begun to change. He stared at the Raikage, who was trembling in absolute terror.
Naruto vanished from the Raikage's sight.
The Raikage's heart sank. Realizing where Naruto was going, he summoned every ounce of chakra left in his body and raced back toward his village—toward the Raikage's office, where Killer Bee had been handling matters during his absence. [Yes,Real Killer bee was in Kumo while his Clone came with him in Konoha and the clone had Half of 8 tail Chakra]
As the Raikage sprinted through the streets of Kumo, panic flooding his veins, he begged whatever power would listen: Please let me be in time. Please don't let him be dead.
But it was already too late.
He slammed open the door to his office—only to be met with horror. Killer Bee's lifeless body was slumped over the desk. Moments earlier, he had been rapping and joking, being his usual self while trying to manage paperwork with his secretary's help. One moment he was full of life—and the next, he was dead.
The secretary tried to scream, but she too exploded instantly, her body torn apart before she could even react.
The Raikage's eyes filled with tears as he stumbled toward his brother's body.
"No… no…" he whispered, broken.
But his grief was cut short by the sound of a massive explosion in the heart of the village. He turned in horror to see his beloved Kumo turning into rubble—buildings collapsing, flames rising, shinobi screaming.
The shinobi tried to fight back against the monster, but nothing worked.
Naruto stood in the center of the destruction—his power unrestrained, his rage absolute.
