The world of darkness loomed around them. The sudden emergence of a masked man in a black robe startled everyone in the Baiming World. It became apparent that this figure was what Uzumaki Naruto called the Shadow Clone, codenamed Mianma. It seemed unlikely that such a person would act alone; a second Shadow Clone, positioned nearby, likely served to prevent anyone from seeking help or a rescue team from approaching. His task was clear: to eliminate Konoha Village ninjas.

Ohnoki remarked, "The strike is incredibly ruthless, like a killer with no emotion." Terumi Mei nodded in agreement: "Yes! The Chūnin who contacted Senior Jiraiya was killed just from meeting him." Fourth Raikage added, "The meticulousness of Heiming's work is astounding. Even if he uses Transformation Techniques, he remains perfectly concealed." Luo Sha concluded, "Even after heavy attacks, the Shadow Clone instantly dissipates into white smoke without arousing suspicion."

Inside the Hokage Office Building, a figure resembling Mianma walked toward the reference room. "Hurry up!" a voice commanded nearby, as the team moved vital scrolls to safe locations. "We must ensure they don't fall into the hands of Sunagakure or Yinyin Village." They were following Konoha Village's emergency response protocols: when chaos strikes, the vanguard is deployed first, followed by villagers led to shelters under protection. Once everyone is safely hidden, a loud eagle's cry signals the start of Konoha's counterattack.

Mianma sneered, "This is Uzumaki Naruto's instruction; everything must be thorough to be effective." To prevent perception ninjas from intervening, he used Sage Mode's magical chakra to disrupt their abilities. "Who goes there!" a data keeper called out upon sensing his arrival. But before the words could finish, the Shadow Clone swiftly ended the man's life. More were swiftly neutralized, and essential documents fell into Mianma's grasp. Notably, Konoha Village's registration lists, secret ninja details, and other crucial information were seized.

Ninjas in Konoha Village watched in shock as the plans unfolded. "This is so despicable!" one whispered. "Uzumaki used the war to obtain these vital secrets." The villagers, aware of their changing circumstances, bore the sting of exposure. Ohnoki commented, "Sunagakure seems to have really bad luck, isn't this all going to be pinned on them?" Fourth Raikage agreed, "It looks like we'll lay the blame squarely on them and Yinyin Village." Orochimaru quipped, "Do you think I care about these political games?" Jiraiya replied, "Ah, as expected of you, you've truly become ruthless."

Terumi Mei remembered, "I recall Bai Ming being at Third Hokage's house when he took the sealed book. Maybe Heiming returned to the Third Generation's home for a visit." Fourth Raikage added, "Damn it, it's that sealed book! I knew something was up." Senju Tobirama sighed, "People, perhaps I should have never allowed these tailed beasts to be returned." Senju Hashirama nodded softly, "Brother, there's no use dwelling on it now." The atmosphere was tense as the urgency of the situation weighed heavily on everyone.

Uzuki Xiyan guided a group of villagers toward safety, her voice sharp and determined despite the chaos. Suddenly, Gaara's empty ammunition rained down, causing the ground to quake. "Naruto!" Gaara shouted amidst the turmoil. Panic gripped Konoha Village as the ground shook and strong winds battered everything. Despair filled the air as villagers sought answers. "Where is the Jinchūriki?" they cried. "Why isn't he here?" a child wept, "Why can't he use his power to protect us?" In the midst of the chaos, a strange voice whispered, "We have no ill intentions toward Naruto. Please, use the King of Power to save us."

A colossal explosion rocked the streets, emitting a gust of wind that sent villagers sprawling. Uzuki Xiyan was nearly crushed by debris as she worked tirelessly to calm the panicking masses. As the dust cleared, she managed to push a board away and regained consciousness, only to find herself amidst destruction. The once bustling commercial street lay in ruins, littered with broken homes and shattered hopes. Ichiraku Ramen's sign hung nearby, battered and distressed. The sight of the familiar sign evoked memories of a past when people could still dream.

Xi Yan whispered softly, "This was where I was guiding the villagers..." Her eyes glazed over as she remembered the once familiar streets. A sharp pain overcame her, but she found herself unable to move. She squatted down amid the rubble and began to cry uncontrollably, the grief overwhelming. The large spiral Lunyu finally took shape above the chaos, releasing a devastating shockwave that wiped out several nearby streets. The vastness of its power stunned everyone in Baiming World. Even timid ninjas were immobilized by the sight of such destruction.

Ohnoki observed in amazement, "This scene is truly tragic." Jiraiya murmured, "What can we do? Kuromaki's inner turmoil... how can we blame him?" Orochimaru smirked, "I think what bothers him most is that they called him a murderer of the Fourth Hokage." Terumi Mei nodded, "Yes, that's right! It was after he learned the truth about his father that everything changed." Gaara quietly interjected, "I don't think we should judge him so harshly. Kuromaki's actions are a reflection of how he feels now, not who he truly is." Temari whispered, "Calm down, Gaara." Kankuro added, "It's okay; we can't use chakra now." Ino spoke up, "He's experienced so much... he deserves understanding."

Shimura Danzō scowled, "He's destroying Konoha Village!" Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, "Enough, Danzo. Tell me what you're doing on the screen?" Danzō huffed, but remained silent. Finally, Uzumaki Naruto spoke softly, "He destroyed Ichiraku Ramen... it's truly tragic." The gravity of the situation echoed as Naruto contemplated the suffering brought about by his own actions.
