Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World

At the same time, dark red chakra quickly covered Kushina's body, and the originally human-shaped Kushina transformed into a small Nine-Tails in the blink of an eye.

A pale exoskeleton covered the head and arms of the little Nine-Tails. The four tails behind the little Nine-Tails trembled, forming a tangible chakra that unleashed a terrifying shockwave that rippled outwards.

"Oh no, Kushina's will has been devoured!"

"Yamato!"

All of this happened far too fast. Even Jiraiya had not anticipated that Kushina, who had already mastered the power of the Three-Tails, would undergo such an unexpected change when using the Four-Tails.

Kushina's aura became incredibly violent. Even Jiraiya, who wasn't using sensory ninjutsu, could clearly sense that the Nine-Tails' power was rapidly overflowing.

If we don't act quickly, the power of the Tailed Beasts will only grow stronger.

Jiraiya gave a low shout, quickly took out a prepared sealing talisman from his pocket, and leaped towards Kushina.

To deal with this situation, Jiraiya was naturally prepared. The sealing talisman in his hand was one of his trump cards. As long as he could successfully stick it to Kushina's forehead, he could connect with the Bagua seal in her body and quickly seal the Nine-Tails' chakra back into her body.

"Wood Release: The Technique of Silent Killing and Binding!"

Yamato reacted quickly, and without needing Jiraiya's reminder, he used Wood Release as soon as Kushina underwent her transformation.

Several wooden stakes grew out of the ground on the shore, and guided by Yamato, the stakes that broke through the soil shot directly toward Kushina in the center of the lake.

However, before the wooden stake could get close, Kushina's tail swayed behind her, and she herself vanished from the spot in an instant.

At this moment, Kushina was driven by her fighting instincts and could not possibly stand still and allow Yamato's attacks to restrain her. Moreover, Kushina in her Four-Tails form was far faster than Yamato's Wood Release.

"call out!"

A strong wind howled, and when Kushina reappeared, she was already in front of Yamato, her sharp claws reaching down towards Yamato's head.

A terrifying aura swept over them, and the young Yamato felt his breath catch in his throat. Under this pressure, his mind went blank for a moment, and he stood there dumbfounded.

"Yamato!"

Jiraiya's expression changed drastically. This was the first time he had faced the Nine-Tails' four-tailed form directly. The strength and pressure Kushina was displaying were even greater than those of the two Jinchuriki Jiraiya had encountered on the battlefield years ago.

The opponent was still rational when facing those two Jinchūriki, but this four-tailed fox exudes killing intent and wildness.

Just as young Yamato was about to die before his eyes, a figure suddenly appeared beside him without anyone noticing. Shinichi Hyuga reached out and pressed on Yamato's waist, and the two of them disappeared from the spot in the next moment.

"boom!!!"

The claws fell and missed, slamming into the ground and cracking and shattering the surrounding land for tens of meters.

Jiraiya, who was not far away, only felt a sway under his feet, and he had to lower his body and lower his center of gravity to barely regain his balance.

At the same time, Uchiha Shisui also fired several shuriken in Kushina's direction, with steel wires attached to the rings of the shuriken.

Kushina looked up and, facing the incoming shuriken, simply roared, and the shockwave sent the shuriken flying.

At the same time, Yin-Yang Chakra was rapidly gathering in Kushina's mouth, and a Tailed Beast Ball was being quickly accumulated.

Just as Jiraiya was anxiously preparing to step forward to seal it, Shinichi Hyuga quietly appeared behind him. Before Jiraiya could turn around, Shinichi's voice reached his ears:

"I'll use the Flying Thunder God Technique to take you to Kushina-sensei's side."

"We must seize this opportunity."

Upon hearing the voice, a flash of surprise crossed Jiraiya's eyes, before he nodded silently, his expression serious.

Shinichi placed his hand on Jiraiya's lower back, and in the next instant, Jiraiya appeared above Kushina's head.

As Jiraiya plummeted downwards, he knew his location the instant he completed the spatial jump. He adjusted his posture slightly and casually pressed the sealing talisman in his hand onto Kushina's head.

"Snapped--"

With a soft click, the sealing talisman firmly adhered to Kushina's head.

The moment the sealing talisman struck Kushina, the power of the Eight Trigrams Seal was activated, and the tailed beast chakra receded like a tide.

The blood-red skin once again revealed the appearance of human skin, and the fox-like face regained its delicate features.

Jiraiya affixed the sealing talisman, flipped over, and landed in front of Kushina. He watched as Kushina collapsed to the ground, but did not choose to help her up.

This was the first time Jiraiya had encountered such a situation, and he planned to observe from a distance until Kushina regained her will.

Upon closer inspection of Kushina's body, Jiraiya noticed severe burns on her arms. Although the burns were healing rapidly, the severity of the injury still caused him to frown.

The power of the Four-Tails not only has a much stronger erosion effect on people's will, but it also puts a much greater strain on and causes more damage to people's bodies.

"Ouch... my head hurts so much..."

Kushina slowly sat up from the ground, covered her head with her hands, and let out a soft cry of pain.

His fierce gaze cleared again. Seeing Kushina sit up, Jiraiya secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look in the direction where Shinichi Hyuga was.

Kushina's strength in her Four-Tails form was unexpected, but similarly, Shinichi Hyuga's abilities in this critical moment were also beyond Jiraiya's expectations.

In the past, when Kushina encountered unexpected events during her training, Jiraiya relied most on Yamato, who was able to easily suppress the power of the Three-Tails.

However, once Kushina unleashes her Four-Tails power, Yamato won't be of much use at this stage.

On the contrary, Shinichi Hyuga, who hadn't made a move yet, had actually mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique to this level.

Even Jiraiya couldn't help but think highly of this child from the Hyuga family.

If it weren't for his Flying Thunder God Technique, the battle probably wouldn't have been resolved so quickly.

Coming to her senses, Kushina slowly stood up, reached out and peeled off the talisman from her head. Looking at the blank space on the talisman, Kushina belatedly realized what had happened.

Looking around, Kushina saw that Jiraiya, Shinichi Hyuga, and the others were all standing safely not far away, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that everyone's alright..."

"It's good that everyone is alright!"

Kushina muttered a few words to herself, feeling a surge of relief.

No one understands the risks of being a Jinchūriki better than she does. Sometimes, she doesn't even care that much about her own safety. Kushina just hopes that no one else will be hurt because of her.

She didn't want to implicate Shinichi and Yamato, these promising young people, because of her own situation.

Kushina lowered her head silently, a look of guilt and disappointment flashing in her eyes.

Jiraiya, being perceptive, noticed Kushina's expression and comforted her with a smile:

"Kushina, don't overthink it."

"Those guys are far more powerful than we imagined!"

"Don't feel any psychological burden."

"From our perspective, the heavier your psychological burden, the greater the risk."

"Relax."

"Shinichi has mastered the Flying Thunder God technique exceptionally well. With him around, there won't be any problems."

Jiraiya greatly admired Shinichi's performance when facing the berserk Kushina; that composure left a deep impression on Jiraiya.

As a fellow user of the Flying Thunder God Technique, Jiraiya saw Minato's shadow in Shinichi, and this sense of peace was something Jiraiya hoped to convey to Kushina.

"Shinichi, huh..."

"That child is indeed very outstanding."

Kushina understood immediately, glanced at Shinichi who was talking to Shisui and Yamato, and nodded silently.

Shinichi was reviewing the battle with Yamato and Shisui when they encountered the incident. Yamato was too confident in his Wood Release, which almost led to his death.

Yamato, who narrowly escaped with his life, was still feeling lingering fear.

As for Shisui... his Sharingan genjutsu seemed to have little effect against Kushina in her berserk state.

If the Sharingan's genjutsu is useless, Shisui can only play a supporting role in battle, or even that is not suitable.

"Shisui, you weren't using Sharingan genjutsu just now?"

"It was too sudden, there wasn't enough time?"

Shinichi asked, his tone somewhat uncertain.

The Byakugan allowed him to clearly know that Kushina was not affected by the genjutsu, but he didn't know whether Shisui's genjutsu was ineffective or if it was simply useless.

"It's too fast. My eye technique requires eye contact to activate."

"Did not have time."

Shisui apologized, saying that Kushina in her Four-Tails form was too mobile, and by the time he reacted, she had already launched an attack on Yamato.

Moreover, throughout the entire process, the little tailed beast that Kushina transformed into never made eye contact with him.

"I see."

"So, even meeting the activation conditions isn't an easy task..."

Shinichi lowered his head and pondered, "The Sharingan genjutsu is not as convenient as imagined. Even with these activation conditions, it is not something that can be achieved casually."

Especially when facing tailed beasts with super mobility.

Honestly, it wouldn't matter if Kushina, in her tailed beast form, ignored Shisui. No matter what technique Shisui used, it wouldn't be able to hurt her. She didn't need to pay attention to him, and naturally, she wouldn't make eye contact with him.

"If a similar situation happens again, I might need you to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to assist me."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be the same as this time, and we won't have time to launch it."

Zhi Shui, on the other hand, had a very clear understanding of himself. He shrugged and looked helpless.
