The Land of Fire – Konoha Village
The appearance of Uchiha Nanaya's massive white Susanoo had not gone unnoticed.
From the Konoha Perception Division, a surge of powerful chakra was detected immediately.
Among those monitoring it, the lead sensor, Inoichi Yamanaka, felt his heart tighten.
Moments ago, he had sensed a majestic and overwhelming chakra signature in the eastern outskirts of Konoha.
It had flared up violently, then vanished just as quickly.
Even as an experienced sensor-type ninja, the sheer density and power of this chakra made his skin crawl.
"If that kind of chakra had appeared inside Konoha itself…"
He swallowed hard at the thought.
It would have been catastrophic.
Not just because of its sheer power—but because he knew, without a doubt, that he wouldn't have been able to handle it.
Had that chakra been released inside the village, the shockwave alone could have knocked him unconscious.
Even now, the residual effects of sensing it made his body tremble.
And the most terrifying part?
This chakra felt stronger than the Nine-Tails.
The Unfamiliar Presence
"Damn it… Konoha has been nothing but trouble lately!"
Inoichi gritted his teeth.
What was that chakra?
It was unfamiliar—something he had never sensed before.
Could it be another tailed beast?
But that didn't make sense…
The Nine-Tails was supposed to be the strongest of all tailed beasts.
Yet this chakra felt heavier, sharper—as if it belonged to something even stronger.
And if it wasn't a tailed beast…
Then the only other possibility was far more terrifying.
A ninja.
A human possessing a chakra signature greater than a tailed beast?
Such a thing should have been impossible.
And yet—
Here he was, questioning the very limits of what he thought he knew.
The Perception Division Reacts
Due to Konoha's barrier network, the Perception Division could sense far beyond the village's borders.
However, they could only clearly detect exceptionally powerful chakra signatures.
And this one—
This one was on a whole other level.
"Captain Inoichi, what was that just now?!"
The younger sensor-nin turned to him, their faces pale with unease.
If even Inoichi Yamanaka, the most experienced sensor in the village, was rattled—
Then what hope did they have of understanding this phenomenon?
Their hands were already slick with cold sweat, their bodies still reeling from the chakra's impact.
"Captain, was that… a tailed beast?"
Inoichi hesitated.
He didn't know.
He really didn't know.
"That chakra… I've never sensed anything like it before."
For a brief moment, he had felt something immense, something beyond comprehension.
He had felt it deep in his bones.
And even now, a faint tremor remained in his fingertips.
A New Theory
"Captain Inoichi, could that chakra have come from the Nine-Tails?"
A hush fell over the room.
Within Konoha, everyone knew about the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.
They knew that the demon fox was sealed inside Naruto Uzumaki.
And most of the village…
Hated him for it.
To them, Naruto wasn't just a kid.
He was the demon fox itself—a monster wearing the skin of a human.
This was why he was always treated with scorn and hatred.
But this chakra…
This wasn't the Nine-Tails.
The Disturbing Difference
Inoichi took a deep breath.
"No. It wasn't the Nine-Tails."
The younger sensor-nin looked at him in confusion.
"But how can you be sure, Captain?"
Inoichi closed his eyes, recalling the destruction of Konoha the night the Nine-Tails had attacked.
Unlike the young sensors, he had lived through it.
He had felt the Nine-Tails' chakra firsthand.
And he knew the difference.
"The Nine-Tails' chakra is pure malice. It's heavy, suffocating, and completely filled with hatred."
"But this chakra? It wasn't like that at all."
If anything—
It had been surprisingly calm.
"This energy wasn't evil. It felt… serene. Like flowing water."
That was impossible.
No chakra this powerful should have been so gentle.
And yet—
That's exactly what he had sensed.
Had the Nine-Tails really broken free, its chakra wouldn't have felt like this.
Konoha would be under attack right now.
But that wasn't the case.
The Nine-Tails was still sealed.
And the only explanation left was one that none of them wanted to consider—
This chakra belonged to a human.
Inoichi's Orders
"You brats better stop making baseless guesses."
Inoichi barked at the younger sensors, snapping them out of their spiraling thoughts.
"I've already reported this disturbance to Anbu. Let them handle it."
But one of the younger ninja hesitated.
"Captain… if that wasn't a tailed beast…"
The room fell silent.
Then, with a nervous gulp, he asked,
"Does that mean… it came from a ninja?"
A beat of silence.
Then—
Laughter.
A few of the sensors chuckled at the absurdity of it.
"No way! No human could have chakra stronger than a tailed beast!"
But Inoichi Yamanaka…
He wasn't laughing.
He just stared quietly at the eastern sky—
And wondered.
"What… are we dealing with?"
