Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World.

"Corpse Demon Sealing?!"

The weakened Kushina watched as her formidable enemy, Obito Uchiha, was defeated by Minato. Before she could even feel happy, she heard the name "Reaper Death Seal" from Minato's mouth.

"Are you going to use the Corpse Demon Seal?"

At this moment, Kushina didn't listen to Minato's nonsensical reasons at all. She only knew that her husband was planning to use that legendary forbidden technique, and her expression immediately changed drastically.

"Um!"

Minato nodded, his expression resolute.

However, Kushina grabbed Minato's arm repeatedly, shaking her head and crying:

"No, absolutely not!"

"Minato, there must be other ways!"

"How about we use the Eight Trigrams Seal? I've already mastered the Diamond Seal. With my power, I'm sure I can suppress the Nine-Tails."

"You didn't need to use the Corpse Demon Seal at all!"

The Corpse Demon Sealing Technique is a sealing technique passed down through generations of the Uzumaki clan, and it is also a powerful forbidden technique that requires the sacrifice of one's life.

According to records, the user can make a deal with the Grim Reaper using their soul, exchanging their own soul for the enemy to be sealed by the Grim Reaper; it is a ninjutsu that results in mutual destruction.

The Reaper Death Seal can seal not only the physical body and chakra, but also the soul.

Although it comes with enormous risks, it also possesses terrifying power, which is why this technique has been passed down to this day.

After Minato and Kushina became husband and wife, Kushina passed on all the sealing techniques she knew to Minato, including the Reaper Death Seal.

Minato knew he didn't possess a particularly powerful finishing move, and as a genius as he was, he was naturally always planning for the future. He imagined that one day he would encounter a formidable enemy whom he couldn't defeat using the Rasengan or the Flying Thunder God Technique.

In order to have a decisive killing move, Minato chose the Reaper Death Seal.

In his view, this moment was the perfect opportunity for him to use this technique.

"Kushina, calm down and listen to me."

"This isn't just about sealing the tailed beasts; the main purpose is to give you and Naruto the opportunity to wield the Nine-Tails' power in the future!"

"Its power is too great; it's too difficult to master its full power."

"However, if the tailed beast's chakra can be divided into two parts, not only will the requirements for the sealing strength be reduced, but the jinchūriki will also have the opportunity to master the tailed beast's power."

"The jinchūriki who makes good use of this power will surely surpass me in the future! They will become an important force in protecting the village."

"For you, for Naruto, for the village, everything I've done will be worth it!"

In those few short minutes, Minato had clearly made up his mind, and Kushina's persuasion had no effect on him.

Despite his gentle and mild demeanor, Minato rarely changes his mind once he's made a decision.

Kushina's tears flowed uncontrollably. She could see that Minato had made up his mind, and she knew that she couldn't persuade him to give up on her own.

Just as Minato stood up, preparing to unleash his power, Shinichi Hyuga suddenly shook his head and said sarcastically:

"What a weakling you are, Fourth Hokage!"

Shinichi was in the middle of the Hyuga clan's battle formation, not far away, and naturally he heard the entire conversation between Minato and Kushina.

Upon hearing that Minato Namikaze actually wanted to use the Reaper Death Seal to seal the Tailed Beasts, Shinichi felt a bit overwhelmed.

He went to so much trouble, provided so much intelligence, and even followed the Hyuga clan ninjas to the front lines of the battlefield—was it all just to watch Minato Namikaze use the Reaper Death Seal to perish alongside the Tailed Beasts?!

Oh no, tailed beasts don't die, Minato is just unilaterally throwing his life away!

His time with Minato was ultimately short. He never expected that Minato Namikaze would be such a weak and impulsive person.

"Shinichi?"

"When have I ever been weak?"

Upon hearing Shinichi say that he was weak, even Minato paused and stopped moving.

All these years... no one has ever used such words to describe him, not even when he was preparing to sacrifice his life to protect Konoha.

Minato wasn't arrogant, but he didn't think the word "weak" could be associated with him either.

"Abandoning your wife and children, only caring about your own death, unable to face the difficult future—do you really deserve to be praised for being brave?"

At this point, Shinichi didn't care about manners anymore. If he didn't scold Minato awake here, this idiot who could use the Flying Thunder God Technique to block the Nine-Tailed Fox's claws would really do it.

"I did this so that..."

Minato opened his mouth, about to explain, but was interrupted by Shinichi:

"For what?!"

"Isn't it for your own sake? You chose this method so that you can relax a little, didn't you?"

"I've heard of the forbidden technique of the Corpse Demon Sealing; the caster will die."

"But I don't think that's brave of you."

"You don't trust Kushina-sensei's power, you don't trust your own power."

"I know sealing the tailed beasts is no easy task, but it's precisely because it's so difficult that we all need to work together, right?"

"No matter what kind of seal it is, it can never be completely foolproof, but so what?"

"Does the difficulty mean we should choose the easy path from the start?"

"Is the easy road necessarily the one that leads to a dead end?"

"Even if you succeed and successfully separate and seal the Nine-Tails, does that mean all of this is resolved?"

"After you die, who will defend Konoha if that masked man attacks?"

"If other ninja villages learned that the young Yellow Flash had died in battle, wouldn't they have different ideas about Konoha?"

"Your death will certainly end everything, but how can the suffering of the living be alleviated?"

"Fourth Hokage, you are not only weak, but also selfish!"

Shinichi was practically pointing his finger at Minato Namikaze and yelling at him. He was speaking so fast that Hiashi didn't even have time to stop his son from talking nonsense.

But upon closer reflection, Hiashi realized his son was right. In Hiashi's view, the situation was far from reaching a point of no return.

"The sealing techniques of the Cloud Ninja are weaker than those of our Konoha."

"The power of the Iron Wall Seal is simply no match for the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan."

"Their Eight-Tails Jinchuriki had also frequently encountered problems before."

"But so what? Didn't they still manage to cultivate the perfect Jinchūriki in the end?"

"If the Cloud Ninja can do it, why can't we, the Leaf Village, do it?!"

At this point, Shinichi didn't care about revealing more information. With his identity as a member of the Hyuga main family, he could actually cover up many sources of information.

The most important thing right now is to get Minato to give up the idea of ​​using the Reaper Death Seal.

After Shinichi said so much, it would be impossible for Minato to remain unmoved.

While Minato was surprised by Shinichi's "worldly knowledge," what really touched him was what Obito said about the possibility of Obito attacking Konoha again and the possibility of rival ninja villages taking advantage of his death to attack Konoha.

For someone like him, family and village are the things he cares about most.

Even the safety of Konoha Village rests on the shoulders of family members and one's own life.

At that moment, Minato also lowered his head and pondered.

His mind was rapidly conjuring up possible future scenarios.

"Watergate!"

"Naruto cannot live without his father's company."

"Let's get past this hurdle first. After that, we'll ask Jiraiya-sensei and the Third Hokage to help us figure out a solution, okay?"

"Don't worry, I will do everything in my power to suppress the Nine-Tails and will absolutely not allow it to have a chance to destroy the village!"

On the scales that Minato weighed, Kushina and Naruto were ultimately the heaviest weights.

Hearing his wife's tearful pleas, Minato's expression softened, and he bent down to embrace Kushina.

"Kushina..."

"I'm sorry...it's my fault, I made you and Naruto worry..."

"I believe in you, I've always believed in you."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be with you, with Naruto!"
