In Naruto Trying to become a Saiyan from Kumogakure

As the Third Raikage closed his eyes in concentration, his mind drifted back to the events leading up to Ron's birth. He remembered how, before that fateful day, Raiya had always stood by his side as his trusted assistant. She had been his unwavering support, ensuring the smooth functioning of his duties.

However, everything changed when she revealed her pregnancy. Concerned for her well-being, the Third Raikage immediately relieved her of her duties and ordered her to rest at home.

It was on that very day that disaster struck. The Eight-Tailed Jinchūriki, Blue B, lost control, unleashing a rampage unlike any before. The chaos erupted without warning, one moment, the village thrived in its usual rhythm, and the next, it was plunged into terror.

The sudden appearance of the berserk Eight-Tails sent shockwaves of panic throughout Kumogakure. In the initial moments, confusion reigned, and the cost was devastating. Countless lives were lost in an instant, and the sacrifices made that day were numerous.

The older generation of shinobi, seasoned warriors who had once stood as the pillars of the village, fought with everything they had. Many of them, including the Third Raikage's guards, fell while protecting civilians and ensuring the safe evacuation of others.

Amidst the sorrow and carnage, a small relief bloomed within the Raikage's heart. Raiya, carrying their unborn child, had been spared from the horrors of that day. For three relentless days and nights, the Third Raikage battled the Eight-Tails, his indomitable will clashing against the beast's overwhelming chakra.

Thunder roared across the battlefield as their battle raged, the very earth quaking under their might. Wounded, exhausted, and pushed to his absolute limit, he fought on until, at last, he emerged victorious, subduing the rampaging beast by exhausting its chakra, as so his own, finally, 8-tails was sealed by the sealing squad.

Unlike the original timeline, this time, his wife had survived. Yet, despite that relief, the devastation that befell the village was eerily reminiscent of the chaos brought about by the rebellion of the Golden and Silver Brothers.

The scars left on Kumogakure ran deep, and the weight of the loss pressed heavily on the Third Raikage's shoulders. In the aftermath, an extensive investigation was conducted to uncover the cause behind Blue B's sudden loss of control. What they found was alarming: traces of foreign substances in his system, a clear indication that he had been drugged.

The realization sent a cold fury coursing through the Raikage. Few possessed the capability to manipulate a Jinchūriki in such a way. His suspicions immediately turned toward Konoha, the only village with the expertise to orchestrate something of this scale. While Sunagakure had some knowledge of such methods, infiltrating Kumogakure unnoticed was beyond their ability.

In the original course of events, the grief of losing his wife would have driven him to act; he would have retaliated against Konoha in a calculated manner, ordering the kidnapping of Uzumaki Kushina. His reasoning was simple; if Kumogakure could not benefit from the Uzumaki Clan's unparalleled ability to serve as Jinchūriki, then Konoha should not either.

The destruction of the Land of Uzumaki had left the world's strongest sealing bloodline in a precarious state, and Konoha sought to claim its last remnants for themselves. His anger would have been further fueled by the thought of making Konoha suffer the same fate, forcing them to endure the wrath of a rampaging-tailed beast.

Unlike the others, the Nine-Tails could not simply be sealed into just anyone. Without a proper vessel, the destruction it would bring could cripple even Konoha. But now, with Raiya still by his side, the circumstances had shifted. The pain of loss had not consumed him as before, and his thoughts, while still filled with suspicion and anger, were no longer solely driven by vengeance. Even so, he knew one truth remained: this incident had proven that Kumogakure was not as untouchable as it once seemed. And that was something he would never allow to happen again.

Most importantly, during that battle, he came to a sobering realization: his so-called strongest armor was, in truth, weaker than his own strongest spear. The indomitable defense he had always prided himself on was not as absolute as he once believed.

However, this grueling fight did not only expose his weakness; it also propelled him forward. Through the clash with the Eight-Tails, he pushed past his previous limits, breaking through to a new level of strength. His body, he realized, could still be improved, just like his hand, which had already become resilient enough to withstand the force of his ultimate spear.

Years later, during the Third Ninja World War, this understanding of duty and sacrifice after Raiya's death would shape his final decision. When faced with overwhelming enemy forces, he ordered his subordinates and the younger generation to retreat, ensuring that the future of Kumogakure would live on. He knew, without a doubt, that if he had chosen to flee, he could have survived, just like the Second Hokage had during his fateful battle. His speed, endurance, and sheer power were unmatched.

Yet, he did not run. Perhaps, by then, he had already given everything he had to Kumogakure. Perhaps, at that moment, he no longer saw a path forward for himself. Or maybe, just maybe, he had found peace in knowing that his final stand would not be in vain, that in sacrificing himself, he was shielding the next generation, giving them a chance to carry the village's future beyond his era.
