Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1035 Nine Tails
Over here, Obito Uchiha had just teleported Kushina Uzumaki to a secluded spot in the center of the village and was about to use a technique to extract the Nine-Tails from her body when Minato Namikaze followed them.

Without any hesitation, Obito Uchiha grabbed Kushina Uzumaki and stepped aside, creating distance between himself and Minato Namikaze.

Out of concern for Kushina Uzumaki's safety, Minato Namikaze refrained from making any rash moves.

He suppressed his killing intent and looked at Obito Uchiha, saying, "Who exactly are you? Why do you keep breaking into our village and trying to steal our tailed beasts?"

"Hohohoho~"

However, upon hearing his words, Obito Uchiha let out a cold laugh.

Then, mimicking Madara Uchiha's aged and hoarse voice, he said, "Your village? Your tailed beasts? Who told you that?"

Upon hearing Obito Uchiha's slightly disdainful words, Minato Namikaze's eyes lit up.

He wasn't afraid of the other party insulting him, or even insulting the village; he was just afraid that the other party would do the same thing as in the previous meetings and not communicate at all.

In this way, he would be unable to obtain any more information.

Once the other party speaks, whatever they say or what their intentions are, they will inevitably reveal some information.

Just like now, the other party is full of disdain for his words. If we follow this line of investigation, we will surely find something.

Of course, these are things to follow.

Now.
The most important thing is to rescue his wife first.

Thinking this, Minato Namikaze turned his gaze to Kushina Uzumaki.

He could see that Kushina was in the enemy's hands at this moment, as if she was under some kind of curse. Although her eyes were open, she was completely unable to move, let alone communicate with him.

This caused Minato Namikaze great concern.

While Minato Namikaze was observing Kushina Uzumaki's condition, Obito Uchiha was also secretly mobilizing his chakra.

He wasn't just arguing with Minato Namikaze out of boredom; he was trying to buy time.

Now, his preparations are finally complete.

The next moment, he placed his right palm on Kushina Uzumaki's abdomen, and then pulled hard, directly extracting the Nine-Tails from the Tailed Beast seal that was not completely sealed.

On the other side, Minato Namikaze activated the Flying Thunder God Technique the instant Obito Uchiha made his move, teleporting back to Kushina Uzumaki's side.

Then, he condensed a Rasengan in his right palm and threw it at Uchiha Obito, who was standing close by.

Unfortunately, the result was the same as before. His attack seemed to hit nothing, passing right through Obito Uchiha's body without causing any damage.

Seeing this, Minato Namikaze frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "It's happening again. Is this spatial teleportation, or some other ability?"

With his mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique, he could naturally sense the subtle spatial fluctuations when the Divine Might: Hollowfication was activated.

Therefore, it is quite normal to have this speculation.

However, he hasn't figured out a solution yet.

However, it doesn’t matter anymore.

In any case, his purpose in this attack was not to injure the opponent, but to take the opportunity to save Kushina Uzumaki from the enemy.

He succeeded and failed.

Indeed, he took advantage of the moment when Obito Uchiha dodged the attack and teleported with Kushina Uzumaki to the spot where he had just been standing.

There, at some point, he threw down a kunai bearing the mark of the Flying Thunder God.

To say he failed?
This was because Obito Uchiha took advantage of the gap between his attack and rescue to use the summoning technique to extract the Nine-Tails from Kushina Uzumaki's body.

Currently, only Kushina Uzumaki, as a ninja of the Uzumaki clan, possesses an extraordinary physique and can withstand the ravages of death.

However, it is foreseeable that if this drags on, it will eventually follow in the footsteps of other Jinchuriki who have lost their Tailed Beasts.

No, it can't be like this.

Minato Namikaze looked at the weakened Kushina Uzumaki, murmured something, and then suddenly looked up at Obito Uchiha.

There is only one way to save his wife now: to reclaim the Nine-Tails and turn it into a Jinchūriki again.

Given the physique of the Uzumaki clan, they might be able to survive this way.

Seemingly sensing his intentions, Obito Uchiha did not hesitate and immediately prepared to use Kamui to take the Nine-Tails and leave the place.

Unfortunately, since the Nine-Tails was Kushina Uzumaki's lifeline, how could Minato Namikaze let her leave with it?

Therefore, almost the instant Obito Uchiha activated 'Kamui', he unleashed 'Flying Thunder God: Lightning Guide'.

As early as after confirming that the enemy possessed some kind of spatial teleportation ability, Minato Namikaze began to think about how to counter it.

He tried many methods, but in the subsequent encounters, he found that they were not very useful.

But not long ago, he came up with another idea: to inflict a thousand casualties on the enemy while suffering eight hundred casualties on himself.

As someone who had mastered the 'Flying Thunder God Technique,' he knew all too well what conditions were required to activate this space-time ninjutsu. Among them, the most important condition was spatial stability.

If a space-time ninjutsu is inherently unstable, then attempting to activate it will either fail and waste chakra, or result in a backlash that could cost you your life.

Therefore, his current idea is very simple: to disturb the surrounding space and make the activation of all space ninjutsu a high-risk action.

In this way, the enemy can be prevented from leaving.

Of course, he will also lose his most core ability as a result, namely, he will not be able to use the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.

This will inevitably reduce his strength.

But for his wife and for the village, Minato Namikaze was willing to take this risk.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and Minato Namikaze unleashed the 'Flying Thunder God Technique: Lightning Guide'.

In an instant, countless sealing spells appeared, covering an area of ​​hundreds or even thousands of meters in a flash.

This is not finished.

Immediately following, with a low shout from Minato Namikaze, numerous dark cracks of varying lengths and widths appeared within the sealing array.

This crack was none other than a spatial rift that he had forcibly torn open.

As a result, the surrounding space immediately became unstable.

At this moment, if Obito Uchiha had insisted on activating 'Kamui', he might have been able to escape successfully, but more likely he would have been severely injured.

So, after a moment's thought, he stopped.

Looking at the sealing techniques around him, and then at the Nine-Tails that he could barely suppress, Obito Uchiha's expression turned cold under his mask, and he simply released the Nine-Tails.

The next moment, the chakra unique to the Nine-Tails suddenly erupted, silencing the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

At that moment, everyone felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on their hearts, so heavy that it was hard to breathe.

"roar~"

A triumphant roar erupted from the Nine-Tailed Fox's mouth as it unleashed its aura, its size increasing in tandem, reaching a height of over a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, anyone in Konoha Village can see it.

"roar~"

Another roar.

Nine-Tailed Fox looked down at its surroundings.

Looking down at the humans who resembled ants, and recalling its own imprisonment, it became enraged and immediately unleashed its nine tails.

bang bang bang~
Click~click~
In an instant, all the buildings nearby that were swept by its tail collapsed, and the people inside suffered heavy casualties.

Hearing the cries, screams, and fear below, Nine-Tails felt a surge of joy.

Then, it turned its attention to Obito Uchiha, who had helped it escape the sealed space.

"Huh~"

Nine-Tails seemed to have discovered something and let out a soft "Eh."

Before it could say anything, Obito Uchiha took advantage of the moment they made eye contact to unleash the 'Genjutsu: Sharingan'.

In an instant, the Nine-Tails, which had been so majestic just moments before, lost all self-control.

Its pupils reflected the Sharingan, and then it began indiscriminate slaughter.

Upon seeing this, Minato Namikaze immediately tried to step forward to stop him.

Unfortunately, Obito Uchiha didn't give him that chance and started fighting him directly.

Just then, Qingming finally arrived, albeit late.

Well.
It wouldn't be accurate to say that they arrived late.

After all, even including the time spent talking and exchanging words, Obito Uchiha and Minato Namikaze hadn't been there for very long.

And since he hadn't left any backup plans for the two of them or for Kushina Uzumaki, it's already quite impressive that he arrived so quickly.

Even so, it was thanks to his ability to sense the Nine-Tails' chakra that he didn't go astray.

In addition, the existence of 'Heavenly Guard' also prevents others from discovering him and avoids falling into the same situation as Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Otherwise, he would have arrived even later.

As for what level Hiruzen Sarutobi is at?
It's very simple; the opponent is currently engaged in a fierce battle.
