Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 239 Kushina: I'm too strong!

"Walk!"

Zhi Shui sipped softly.

He was able to use a sneak attack to forcibly cast illusions on Yoshiki and assassinate him, which was really taking advantage of Yoshiki's old age and physical weakness.

If he were to actually encounter a Jonin, he didn't think he had much of a chance of winning.

At present, Fugaku's reputation is no longer enough to control the situation. The only option now is to temporarily stall them and escort them to a safe place.

"Thanks."

Mikoto understood that this was not the time to be modest. Although Uchiha Shisui was younger than her, his methods and abilities seemed to be superior to hers.

Keeping it for yourself might not be very useful.

and.

They're after me and Itachi...

"Charge!"

One person shouted.

By listening to the sound, one can determine whether the water is still or not.

The other party is Uchiha Inahi!

Shisui took a deep breath, brandishing his blade: "Run towards the village. Someone will definitely meet you there. I can hold you off for ten seconds, but after that, you're on your own!"

The next instant, he threw out several explosive tags.

Following closely behind...

He instantly moved backward.

Behind them, four or five people were forming hand seals on the roof of a house, which was their only escape route.

Their three-tomoe eyes could see through the ninjutsu hand seals they were performing.

Fireball!

This means they're not going to hold back.

When Yoshiki Uchiha was still alive, everyone maintained considerable restraint, but now that Yoshiki has been assassinated by them, it has driven them completely mad.

Shi Shui felt frustrated.

If he had known this would be the outcome, he would have held back and captured the enemy instead of killing them, which would have at least delayed things for a while, instead of causing this trouble.

Still not mature enough!

He took a deep breath, pondering a solution.

Illusion?

No.

If the opponent is caught off guard and has no idea that you are about to launch an illusion, a surprise attack with an illusion might be somewhat useful, but right now these people are in a state of high tension and vigilance...

Illusions simply cannot work.

use……

that?

Shisui suddenly remembered that Kyohiko had once given him something to save his life, and it had indeed saved his life before.

Perhaps this time will work too.

but.

We don't need it right now!

Those four or five people, though blocking their escape route, were not insurmountable obstacles for him...

"Keep up!"

Shisui spoke softly, and then—

As he was running, he suddenly formed a hand seal, and his figure transformed into several clones.

Some are fake clones, but there is one real shadow clone among them.

The Sharingan has the ability to see and understand the flow of chakra, so fake clones are naturally ineffective. However, even a clone that lasts only a moment is enough to distract them for a moment.

The next moment, he darted forward.

With the Body Flicker Technique and the stimulation of Lightning Release chakra, Shisui's speed instantly increased to its limit. Even with the Sharingan's dynamic vision, all that could be seen were afterimages moving around.

The real body and the shadow clone are constantly switching places.

The Sharingan possesses powerful insight, but even a momentary disturbance, at Shisui's speed, would have already reached a position they could not have predicted.

They lost their position to stop the water.

Great Fireball Technique!

Three powerful fireballs were unleashed, bombarding the area in front of them, while the other two remained vigilant against Shisui's attack.

however.

At that moment, two figures suddenly jumped out in front of them.

"Be careful!"

Someone shouted, and the three people spitting fireballs were startled and immediately changed their position.

Only one person was furious.

"Don't panic, it's a clone! It's a clone!"

however.

next moment.

Boom!

The house below was suddenly split open, and Shisui's figure leaped out from underneath, wielding a blade and charging towards one of the people.

The two men simultaneously brandished their swords and charged.

At the same time, one of the three who were spitting out fireballs stopped his ninjutsu, drew his sword, and became wary of his surroundings.

but--

In an instant, a burst of flame shattered the roof below.

A chaotic scene unfolded, and it was impossible to stop it.

Mikoto and Itachi immediately slipped through the gap to their side.

How could five people possibly have the time to stop them?

They immediately scattered, but the one who was fighting Shisui's shadow clone couldn't retreat in time and was struck by Shisui's sword, then engulfed in flames.

The shadow clone of Shisui dissipated and returned.

Below, he looked up, a cold and complex smile playing on his lips.

The essence of assassination lies not in how cleverly one hides, but in diverting attention and then suddenly attacking and killing the opponent.

but.

After the initial joy, his feelings became complicated.

The clansmen who died by their own hand.

Another one!

Although he had already made the decision, he still felt immense pain when he actually faced the moment.

It's stained with the blood of my people!

He stood on the fire-lit rooftop, turning back to look at his clansmen, his expression complex: "You should leave. Don't go back to Konoha!"

Shisui hopes for peace within the family.

but.

Should we kill them all?

That way...

That's too cruel!

however.

"Hmph, what nonsense are you spouting? You guys go after him, a few of you stay behind and help me kill him!"

Uchiha Inahi sneered.

At that moment, a strong and terrifying chakra fluctuation came from the direction of the village near the Uchiha clan's territory, and the entire village felt the intense chakra aura.

Inahikawa paused for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Everyone, can you feel it? This powerful force will help our Uchiha clan become strong again!"

Zhi Shui's pupils contracted.

What kind of aura is this?

A look of astonishment appeared on his face, and he immediately looked toward the source of the aura.

Shisui didn't know what kind of being was emitting this chakra, but in Konoha, besides Kyohiko and the others, only—

Nine-tailed Fox?

The Nine-Tails has been released?!

Konoha couldn't possibly release the Nine-Tails on its own, so there's only one possibility left.

He was shocked and terrified. His gaze swept over the dozens of tribesmen before him, and only one thought remained: "How dare you?"

……

On the other side.

Some time ago, the Uchiha clan plotted to seize the power of the Tailed Beasts.

The person in charge of this matter was Uchiha Nobushi and his subordinates—

The seal was broken by Uchiha Shinji, and several others jointly summoned the Nine-Tails.

The night was quiet as usual.

Minato Namikaze isn't home tonight, making it the perfect time to make a move.

Uchiha Shinji looked at the houses in front of him, calculating the time in his mind. After a long time, just as he was about to sneak in, a faint voice squeezed out from the crack in the window of a house in the distance.

A miniature Nine-Tails?!

Uchiha Shinji was breathing rapidly.

He was still waiting for an opportunity, but unexpectedly, the Nine-Tails emerged on its own.

Konoha's attempt to influence and subdue the tailed beasts is truly laughable...

If the tailed beasts can be reformed, why would they need to be imprisoned and used as a source of power for the jinchūriki?

God help me too!

A thought flashed through his mind, and then he quickly moved forward.

Just as Kushina's "Diamond Chains" emerged from the house, Uchiha Nobushi suddenly drew his sword and swiftly moved more than ten steps in a flash.

Immediately following.

Chakra surged along the blade.

Uchiha-ryu swordsmanship!

Flames leaped on the sword, severing the Vajra Chains through the collision of chakra.

"Who?"

Kushina immediately smashed the window.

Immediately afterwards, she saw a man dressed in a black robe grab the young Nine-Tailed Fox and run a great distance away in an instant.

"Don't even think about running away!"

Kushina raised an eyebrow, instantly moved forward, and her Vajra Chains rapidly grew on her body.

The next second, she saw a scroll appear in the other person's hand, which directly wrapped up the Nine-Tails.

Then.

A powerful burst of chakra erupted instantly.

Just as Kurama was about to strike Uchiha Shinji, the power of the summoning contract summoned it directly from here.

"Uchiha! You're a member of the Uchiha clan!"

Kushina gritted her teeth.

In that instant, the Nine-Tails' power was unsealed, and she saw the opponent's obvious Uchiha insignia.

and.

Only the legendary Madara Uchiha could have accomplished such an unsealing scroll, as evidenced by the Nine-Tails within him.

That aura came from Uchiha Madara!

"Hey."

A look of hesitation flashed in Uchiha Nobushi's eyes, and in the end he abandoned his decision to attack the opponent.

Kushina Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Although it doesn't have any outstanding abilities besides sealing techniques, if the opponent is really pushed to the limit, even a Jinchuriki with only a portion of chakra can still unleash terrifying power.

At that time, I will be the first to be affected, inevitably...

must……

Uchiha Shinji's eyes revealed shock and disbelief.

The next moment, his lips trembled.

"No!"

At this moment, in Uchiha Shinji's eyes, Kushina's body was surging with powerful tailed beast chakra, as if the Nine-Tails and Kushina were merging into one.

In dealing with Madara Uchiha, Kurama and Kushina had completely the same goal, so...

Even though the seal on the Nine-Tails wasn't completely broken, and only some gaps were left as usual, the chakra still covered Kushina's entire body.

At that moment, Kushina felt a powerful force surging within her body, and her chakra was covering the seal.

A special tailed beast form!

She suddenly understood, and then in an instant, she realized what she needed to do—

"Grab him!"

Kushina and Kurama shouted at the same time.

Since this person used Madara's power, he must have established a connection with Madara, and his memories are extremely precious.

So.

Attack!

Nine-Tails Chakra Mode!

At this time.

Uchiha Shinji turned his head to look behind him, but what he saw was—

The figure slowly turned into an afterimage and disappeared.

There was no chakra fluctuation.

because……

What disappeared was just an afterimage, not a "cloning technique".

Bang!

The immense force came directly from his shoulder and then spread to half of his body.

Gala!

A series of cracking sounds erupted from within his body.

With just one punch, his right shoulder collapsed, the bone was completely shattered, and not an inch of it remained intact.

How is that possible!

Uchiha Shinji's mind went completely blank.

"Idiot, don't use such force! What if you kill him?"

The Nine-Tails roared inside Kushina's body.

Kushina blushed and said, "Why are you being so fierce? I didn't expect you to be this strong!"

"Now you know, control yourself, you bastard! If you kill him, I'll make you pay with your life!"

Nine-Tails uttered meaningless harsh words.

Kushina dared not kill her opponent, otherwise she wouldn't have aimed for the right shoulder, which would have dealt the least damage, at the final deflection point. And now...

She no longer needs to use her fists.

Diamond Chains!

With the power of the tailed beast's chakra, golden chains erupted from Kushina's body, quickly spreading outwards and binding Uchiha Shinji.

The boundless sealing power quickly locked onto Uchiha Shinji, and then sealing techniques began to spread across his body.

As a roll cover came off, he was completely immobilized.

"Um?"

Kushina immediately looked in a certain direction.

What is that?

She had just sensed a faint, almost imperceptible malice, but it vanished in an instant. When she looked over, there was nothing there.

"Nine-Tails..."

"I have a name, I'm called Nine-Tailed Fox!"

"Alright, Kurama, did you feel it just now?"

"certainly."

Nine-Tailed Man grinned, "Although I don't know what it is, there's definitely someone spying on us."

"Never mind, it's definitely one of Madara Uchiha's people anyway, now..."

"Minato! Quickly send him to the Anbu for imprisonment; my power is already overflowing!"

Kushina couldn't hide her excitement.

The Nine-Tails Chakra Mode is just too powerful!

She felt that even the Third Raikage, she could easily give him a good beating—

Whether I can win or not is another matter, but I'm terrifyingly strong!

Nine Lamas remained silent.

"Fool, the longer you use my chakra, the faster your own chakra will be depleted. Why don't you put it away?"

"Oh, right, right!"

Kushina was careless and only then realized that she could first store her chakra, interrupt her current state, and use it again next time.

For the time being, Kurama and she are in a state of complete cooperation.

"Rush!"

Kushina couldn't suppress her impulse.

Minato Namikaze, who had just arrived as reinforcements, looked helpless.

Kushina...

"This guy becomes impulsive once he gains power, which is really not a good thing."

He wrapped Uchiha Shinji up like a dumpling and sent him directly to the Anbu using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The next second, Minato Namikaze quickly chased after Kushina.

The Uchiha clan is currently rife with unpredictable events, and no one knows what might happen. It's best to keep an eye on things just in case.

The Uchiha clan at this moment...

The nine-tailed fox suddenly stood upright at the edge, letting out a deafening roar.

"Nine-Tails, I command you to destroy Konoha!"

After their chakra was greatly depleted, Uchiha Shinji's subordinates looked up at the Nine-Tails and attempted to control it using the method they had obtained.

however.

A clone with a quarter of the Nine-Tails' power looked down at them as if they were a bunch of idiots.

Then, Nine-Tails grinned.

Bang!

One slap, and the earth trembles and mountains crumble.

Six people...

They all turned into corpses.

The nine-tailed creature roared to the sky, emitting a joyful and exhilarating sound.

Uchiha, you didn't expect that, did you!

It grinned, then looked at the territory and pursed its lips.

That damned guy wouldn't allow me to wreak havoc, saying that the Uchiha clan are also Konoha people...

It looked towards that area.

Just as I was about to walk over, a figure suddenly appeared from the void.

Black Zetsu controlled Obito, forcibly pulling him out of the isolated space—

he knows.

If they don't act soon, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) could wipe out the Uchiha clan, and Konoha would only need to clean up the mess.

"In the past, with the help of special cells and the power of an adult, you could control the Nine-Tails. Now that you have evolved, you can completely control it."

"What should I do?"

Obito answered coldly and indifferently.

"Control it, then leave. Will the power of the Tailed Beasts aid our cause of peace, or will you protect the Uchiha clan?"

"Protect?"

Obito glanced coldly behind him and let out a sneer.

This family...

What else is worth cherishing?
