Lion Valley.

Allen wielded his twin swords, and a series of chilling, rapid slicing sounds rang out as golden sword energy wove into a net.
The enormous, solid black Tailed Beast Ball was instantly sliced into countless pieces, like tofu being thrown into a meat grinder.
Without even a chance to explode, the pitch-black Tailed Beast Ball was shattered and annihilated by the storm of sword blades!
……
After shattering the Tailed Beast Ball, the golden slashing storm continued its powerful impact, crashing heavily into Kurama's body.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!
The sword energy slashed wildly at the Nine-Tailed Fox's body, with its nine giant tails bearing the brunt of the attack, being swept up by the storm of slashes and torn to shreds.
"roar!!!!"
The roar was mixed with pain, but even more so with anger.
"I'm going to kill you!!!!"
……
brush--
Allen's figure blurred, and he rushed straight from a thousand meters away to the Nine-Tails' front.
The sound of the atmosphere tearing apart indicated that this was not a teleportation technique in the ordinary sense, but a high-speed movement achieved purely through explosive physical strength!
"Finally, he's willing to speak, though it's not very polite."
The next instant, Allen appeared to the side of the Nine-Tails' giant head, his twin swords unleashing a dazzling curtain of icy blue light.
Ice Release: Shigure Tenshi —
Countless fine ice crystals, as fine as cow's hair, condensed out of thin air along with the light of his sword, shooting towards the face of the Nine-Tailed Fox.
The Nine-Tailed Fox roared, spewing out dark red flames with a temperature far exceeding that of ordinary fire-style techniques.
The flames melted some of the ice needles, but most of them remained stuck in the Nine-Tails' eyes, mouth, and nose, causing stinging pain and chills that made the Nine-Tails extremely irritable.
"Annoying bugs!!"
Ignoring the frostbite spreading across its face, Kurama opened its massive maw and aimed it at Allen, compressing its blue Yang Release chakra and purplish-black Yin Release chakra to the extreme.
A Tailed Beast Ball fired at almost zero distance!
……
"Are you saying I'm too small to hit?"
Allen brought his two swords together, the overlapping of the blades replacing the hand seals.
Clang—!
He gave a soft shout—
"Snowflakes...summon them."
As the clear, cold voice faded, a silvery full moon rose behind Allen, its light illuminating his hair, and then…
BOOM—!!
The full moon shattered.
A giant wolf made of ice crystals and snow burst out of the moon, its size no less than that of the Nine-Tailed Fox!
Pure white all over, it is as perfect as the most outstanding ice sculpture by a great artist.
Amidst the swirling snow, it opened its massive jaws and bit down on the Tailed Beast Ball.
An unbelievable scene unfolded...
The Tailed Beast Ball... is frozen!
Click!
Crushing the Tailed Beast Ball, the Snow White Wolf charged toward the Nine-Tails, its sharp claws like steel knives piercing its body!
……
Allen, wielding two swords, stood atop the Snow Wolf, his long silver hair and black clothes fluttering in the cold wind. His eyes reflected the retreating Nine-Tails, his expression serene.
……

thump -- thump -- thump --
Although the battleground was far enough away, the lingering effects still reached Konoha, leaving it devastated and with few buildings remaining intact.
"What... exactly does that person want to do...?"
Tsunade slowly lowered her hand, her voice weak, and wrinkles were visibly appearing on her face.
She is able to maintain her youthful appearance by relying on the chakra accumulated in the Yin Seal; this is her true form.
Whitebeard's injuries were not fully healed, but he was in much better condition than before the Marineford War.
He was about to turn around and thank her when he saw Tsunade's appearance and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
A large hand covered Tsunade's face, preventing others from seeing it.
"Alan is a good boy, don't worry, he means no harm to that boy."
Tsunade gave a bitter laugh: "The Nine-Tails has fully revealed itself, and you still say you have no ill intentions... If the tailed beasts go berserk and cannot be sealed in time, the Jinchuriki will die."
……
The Konoha ninja present slowly awoke. One ninja heard these words, struggled to his feet, and looked toward the source of the tremor.
Naruto... will die...
……
Tsunade looked up at the white-bearded man: "He came to find you. Will you go back...? Will the connection between the worlds be severed?"
The white-bearded man shook his head: "How would I know such a thing? I didn't even know this was the ninja world before."
"but……"
He looked towards the distant battlefield and said calmly, "Based on what I know of that kid, he won't sever the global connection."
"So, does he want to conquer the world...?"
The white-bearded man shook his head again: "Everyone has something they want to do in their life, whether it's finding treasure, living a peaceful life, or pursuing dominion."
"Alian isn't that kind of person. He has no interest in ruling the world. If I had to say..."
He seemed to remember something, and his crescent-shaped mustache curled up: "Gurgle...that kid was just simply enjoying something fun!"
"Living as you please is amazing, isn't it?!"
……
……
Tsunade couldn't understand, and didn't want to understand.
She thought Whitebeard and Allen were the same kind of mentally ill people.
They were just saying something like, "Then let's destroy it," completely disregarding our feelings!
She looked up at the mountains that were still suspended in the air, truly a deathly cloud.
Logically speaking, something like this would definitely crash if it got out of control...
Damn it!
I was actually hoping that guy wouldn't lose to the Nine-Tails?!
……
Footsteps approached, and Tsunade looked down.
"Lord Hokage, do you know how to get to that world?"
Tsunade frowned slightly as she looked at Itachi Uchiha approaching: "Your treatment isn't over yet. Right now, you—"
"It's too late."
There was an undisguised urgency in Itachi's calm tone.
Because of Allen's words, it wasn't just Naruto who went berserk; if he hadn't been aware of the difference in strength between himself and Allen, he too would have wanted to attack recklessly.
After calming down a bit, Itachi realized something.
When Allen came last time, he couldn't fully show himself, and it was said that there was a time limit. This time is obviously different.
That means the passage between the two worlds has become stable.
Sasuke has been captured and taken to that world, and it's very dangerous now...
Rather than getting involved in that battle between monsters, the most urgent thing is to find Sasuke!
……
Thinking of the bond between Naruto and that Uchiha brat, Tsunade sighed helplessly: "The Hokage's office has the coordinates of the nearest passage; you can go and look for it."
Thank you!
Turning her gaze away, she said to the white-bearded man, "As a medical ninja, you shouldn't say such things to a patient who is still seriously injured... Aren't you going to help him?"
"You may not have a concept of how powerful the Nine-Tails is."
"It's the strongest tailed beast, an absolute catastrophe!"
"Legend has it that the First Hokage nearly exhausted himself to subdue the Nine-Tails, and the Fourth Hokage paid the ultimate price to reseal it!"
……
They were so far apart that even the Byakugan couldn't see the specific situation there, but Whitebeard's Observation Haki could sense it.
"The first generation you're talking about is the original owner of the cells in my body, right? He was an extremely powerful person."
"Don't worry, Allen's current strength is definitely no less than that person's!"
"He's the strongest!"
