Konohagakure, the Hidden Leaf Village, was under attack. The Kyūbi: Nine-Tailed Fox, appeared over a full moon night to bring terror and destruction to all within the village. A creature of such might and power that one swing of its tail could flatten a mountain to the base, would be met with an equal in the Fourth Hokage. Riding the Great Toad Gamabunta, the Yellow Flash defended his land with his life, meeting the King of Demons in the outskirts of his homeland.

However, something went awry.

A third party, a beast never seen, would unleash untold mayhem. It did the impossible, not just forcing back Gamabunta and his Shinobi God companion, but it focused its hatred entirely onto the Nine-Tailed Fox. A gigantic ape tall as Hokage Rock and nearly as broad, thick arms and legs of bulging muscles barely hidden by its black fur, and a monkey's tail that whips hurricane winds with every swing. This new Bijū of only one tail fought with its fellow demon, their devastating forces clashing against one another so fiercely that the very ground beneath them surrounding all Konohagakure shook, creating craters and canyons in the dense forests. The clouds above thickened greatly before terrible winds cleared the sky.

Though even in destructive power, the Great Ape proved superior in durability, barely struggling against the most powerful of the Bijū's wrath. Its tails bounce off of the Great Ape's body, claws and fangs draw blood yet only go skin deep, even the Bijū Bomb is matched by the shaft of light flying from the Great Ape's maw. Through sheer endurance, the Great Ape outlasted and damaged the Nine-Tailed Fox enough that the Fourth Hokage was able to seal it in one fell swoop. However, the Great Ape itself was nigh unstoppable. Without an opponent to distract it from the village itself, hope seemed lost as countless lives were taken away, shinobi of every clan work together to even stall the unstoppable beast.

The Hyūga Clan, renowned for their kekkai genkai: the Byakugan, were rendered useless. Their dōjutsu being the All-Seeing Eye are blinded by the sheer intensity of the Great Ape's aura. Those not fast enough to undo their ability in time suffered from sensory overload.

The Inazuka Clan, shinobi with close ties to beasts as well as mankind's connection to their primal roots, are stunned frozen by their nature. Not all, but many suffer a paralyzing fear that prey suffers from when in the gaze of a predator, especially one never before seen.

The Aburame Clan, infamous yet humble for their compact with insects, creatures often underestimated despite their uncontested control over the world. Without them, nature would not function, and in turn they could rule the world should they act as mankind has, yet even their unorthodox methods and bizarre abilities are naught but worthless before the otherworldly might of the Great Ape.

Even the greatest strategists within the Nara Clan, the gigantic might of the Akimichi Clan, nor even the mind-altering phantasmic power of the Yamanaka Clan could falter the beast. It would force its way through the traps, break the towering giants that stood in its way, and none could manipulate a mind so forcefully set on its singular goal of destruction.

Finally, the Uchiha Clan act as the last line of defense. Though all suffered, it is through the efforts of the noble Uchiha Clan that many civilians are spared, at the cost of many of their own. The Sharingan was ineffective against the beast itself, but absolutely necessary in their impeccable defense and evasion, distracting the Great Ape for as long as they could until the Fourth Hokage could face it personally at last.

Konohagakure was fated to fall until the coming dawn. By chance or by fate, the two deities fought long enough for the moon fall low and sunlight broke across the sky, which upon that most desperate hour would mark the end of disaster. The Great Ape vanished without a trace...

But not without taking one last cruel victory.

With the weight of the world and even that from beyond now off of his shoulders, the Fourth Hokage succumbed to his wounds in the tireless battle and being as young as he was left behind no candidate nor heir to his title. With little choice, Hiruzen Sarutobi would return from his retirement, taking on the mantle as Third Hokage once more. Though an ultimately tragic event, hope remains within the hearts of Konohagakure.

Peace has returned.
