The Nine-Tails rampaging in Konohagakure.

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox’s Attack (九尾の妖狐襲来, Kyūbi no Yōko Shūrai) on Konohagakure happened on the night of October 10, twelve years before the start of the series. After causing untold death and destruction, the village’s leader, the Fourth Hokage, and the Zero-Tails, the village’s trump card, stopped the Nine-Tails who gave his life to seal the Nine-Tails into the newborn Naruto Uzumaki.

Prelude

The Nine-Tails, sealed within Kushina.

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was married to Kushina Uzumaki, the jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails. When Kushina became pregnant and the birth of their son drew near, special precautions had to be taken because the seal keeping the Nine-Tails within her would weaken during childbirth, thus carrying the risk it might escape. News of Kushina’s pregnancy was kept a secret from the general population and the delivery itself would take place in a remote cave away from the village. Minato’s predecessor, Hiruzen Sarutobi, organized security: the site would be protected by a barrier, several Anbu would guard the area, and another Anbu (Taji) and Hiruzen’s wife (Biwako) would be midwives. Minato, meanwhile, would monitor the seal, keeping it stable during the delivery and restoring it to its original strength as soon as their son was born.

Despite all the secrecy, news of Kushina’s pregnancy was discovered by Tobi thanks to his subordinate.
