Yukika's expression darkened.
His bond with the Nine-Tails was protected by the system's contract.
No one — not even the Sharingan — could break it.
The system's bond overrode all outside influences.
Not even the most powerful genjutsu could sever it.
Feeling something was wrong, Yukika's senses sharpened.
Was it him?
"Orochimaru-sensei, you stay here."
"I'll check it out."
With a flash, Yukika vanished from the lab.
His voice echoed across the Senju compound:
"Everyone stay calm and continue your work!"
It was the Clan Leader's voice!
Hearing it, the Senju ninjas quickly returned to their tasks.
If their Clan Leader was handling it, there was no need to worry — even against the Nine-Tails.
The Konoha ninjas were curious but didn't dare intervene.
After all, the Senju Clan and Konoha were no longer the same entity.
Spreading his black wings, Yukika soared through the air at incredible speed.
In just a few breaths, he reached the site of the explosion.
Ahead, the Nine-Tails lay sprawled out on its back, flailing its limbs, furious.
Someone was standing above it — Madara Uchiha.
The real boss had arrived!
The Nine-Tails almost cried, scrambling toward Yukika like a wronged child.
"Boss!"
Wiping its nose and sniffling, it pointed furiously at Madara.
"He hit me!"
...You're supposed to be a fearsome Tailed Beast!
Yukika almost laughed.
It wasn't the real Madara — just a Wood Clone. Still strong, but not the real deal.
Even if it could summon a Susanoo, a clone was still just a clone.
Across the field, Madara's clone looked confused.
He had only thrown one attack at the Nine-Tails!
And the giant fox surrendered immediately?
This was definitely not the same Nine-Tails that used to curse him endlessly.
Madara tried to summon it back using Summoning Jutsu — but nothing happened!
"Impossible..."
The summoning contract had been broken?
The seal was gone?
Madara's clone realized something was seriously wrong.
Meanwhile, the Nine-Tails sat comfortably, nibbling on snacks and swishing its tail smugly.
"You brat..."
"What did you do?"
Madara's plan was crumbling.
He had intended to control the Nine-Tails, unleash chaos, and capture Yukika.
But the first step had failed spectacularly!
Everything was ruined because of that boy.
"I don't feel like chatting with a clone."
Picking up the Nine-Tails, Yukika looked at Madara's clone coldly.
"If you don't understand..."
"Go ask your real body."
Whoosh!
In a flash, Yukika appeared behind the clone.
With a crackle of lightning, he pierced through the clone's chest with his sword.
"Madara, you underestimated the Senju Clan."
"You underestimated me."
"This clone — pathetic."
Madara wasn't weak.
But this was the wrong era!
Without the Rinnegan or his full power, even a Mangekyo Sharingan user couldn't threaten Yukika anymore.
Not even close.
"Come on, let's visit the real one."
Carrying the Nine-Tails, Yukika spread his black wings and flew upward.
Others might not know where Madara was hiding.
But Yukika did.
The Valley of Graves!
...
Meanwhile, deep underground in an ancient cemetery —
Madara snapped his eyes open.
"What's wrong, Madara-sama?"
Black Zetsu trembled beside him.
"Too similar..."
Gripping the edge of his seat tightly, Madara's eyes burned with fury.
He could never forget that face.
The defeat of the clone had been reported.
He had underestimated Yukika.
But what troubled him even more was the Nine-Tails — how had the boy severed the contract so easily?
What the hell had he done?
BOOM!
Suddenly, the door to the underground hideout shattered.
Two figures strolled in casually.
He found me?
Madara's gaze turned cold.
Did Yukika really think defeating a clone meant he could beat him?
Laughable.
Carrying the Nine-Tails, Yukika stepped forward, arms folded.
Their gazes locked.
"You..."
Madara started to speak.
But Yukika tilted his head, confused.
Then he casually said —
"You're insane!!"
