Chapter 3: INAZ - 2

With the Vortex Vanquisher in his left hand, he floated in the air, calmly observing the bound Nine-Tailed Fox below.
"Who are you?" Minato Namikaze struggled to raise his head, the pain from the Nine-Tailed Fox's claws coursing through his body, causing beads of cold sweat to drip from his forehead.
Sarutobi Hiruzen outside the barrier also assumed a defensive stance, the aura emanating from this suddenly appearing person filled him with fear.
As if... a god high above!
The Tailed Beast Ball in the Nine-Tailed Fox's mouth was ready. It was so enraged that it didn't even consider this person's strength, but instead, it lost its mind and unleashed the attack towards Shinji.
"Be careful!" Minato coughed up a mouthful of blood. He knew the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox's Tailed Beast Ball. It was something he wouldn't dare to take head-on.
Shinji looked at the Tailed Beast Ball hurtling towards him, his golden pupils remained unmoved. The Nine-Tailed Fox's attack...
"What is he going to do?" Outside the barrier, Sarutobi Hiruzen watched Shinji in astonishment. Was there anyone in the world who dared to face the Nine-Tailed Fox's Tailed Beast Ball head-on?
"Hiruzen, who is he?" From the shadows, a man with a bandage covering his right eye appeared behind Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"I don't know." Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't turn around, but silently watched the Nine-Tailed Fox.
