Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 260 Kushina: Orochimaru, you dug up Minato's grave?!

"Wow! It seems the third-generation old man is serious!"

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi begin to use ninjutsu, Kushina raised an eyebrow and sighed inwardly, knowing that her happy time was over.

If we keep playing like this, we'll have to get serious.

The three generations of old men were all nearly seventy years old. If things got serious, Kushina was afraid that she might not be careful and send the three generations of old men away.

Although Kushina was very unhappy that Hiruzen Sarutobi raised Naruto Uzumaki like an orphan, she still knew that the old man had done his best.

Naruto's status as a Jinchūriki destined him to have an unhappy life.

"Then let's use one last trick!"

A glint flashed in Kushina's eyes as she swiftly formed hand seals, channeling most of the chakra within her body.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

Kushina suddenly spat out a stream of water.

The water flow converges in the air to form a giant water dragon.

Then, the water dragon roared towards the earth dragon's fiery current and quickly submerged it.

"What?! They used so much chakra!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed in surprise. Although Water Release was effective against Fire Release, it was also effective against Earth Release.

My technique is a combination ninjutsu; even if the fire attribute is annihilated, mud bullets will still break through the water-style attack.

But I didn't expect the opponent to use such a large amount of chakra to release Water Release.

"roar!"

After the water dragon destroyed the earth dragon's flames, its momentum was not diminished. It opened its huge mouth and swallowed Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had not yet reacted.

"Water dragons dance wildly!"

Seeing this, Kushina gave a soft shout.

Under her control, the water dragon, carrying Hiruzen Sarutobi, twisted and turned wildly within the Four Purple Flame Formation, charging and crashing about.

咝咝

The water dragon, which occupied most of the space of the Four Purple Flame Array, collided with the Four Purple Flame Array.

The collision of water and fire filled the entire space with moisture, quickly forming a mist.

"Ahhhhh."

With the water dragon stuck in his mouth, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't break free for a while, especially with the water dragon shaking violently.

He felt like he had entered a whirlpool, and he was completely dizzy and disoriented.

"The Third Hokage!"

"Damn it, we can't see what's going on inside!"

"What terrifying water jutsu! No wonder he's the Fifth Mizukage!"

"Damn it, are we just supposed to stand by and watch the Third Hokage get beaten up?"

Faced with the fact that such a powerful water escape technique could be used even in a waterless environment, the ANBU members outside the Four Purple Flame Formation showed expressions of shock.

Adding to that Hiruzen Sarutobi's pitiful screams, their hearts were in their throats, fearing that their Third Hokage would be killed just like that.

After the moisture dissipated, Hiruzen Sarutobi collapsed to the ground. He wasn't seriously injured, but he felt like his bones were about to fall apart.

Hiruzen Sarutobi forced himself to stand up, his stomach churning violently.

However, in order to maintain his dignity as the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi suppressed the urge to vomit and swallowed it down.

"Huh~"

"Fifth Mizukage, what is the meaning of this?"

As Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, he still saw double images in his eyes.

Although he was tortured quite a bit, he never sensed any killing intent from Kushina.

"Elder Sister of the Ninth Rank!"

At this moment, Naruto Uzumaki arrived, looking expectantly at Kushina in the Four Purple Flames Formation.

After attracting Kushina's attention, Naruto Uzumaki called out in a trembling voice, "Is that Kassan?"

"Kassan?" ×N

Everyone was startled and looked at Naruto with some confusion.

The Fifth Mizukage became the mother of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha.

Good grief, what kind of development is this?

The Konoha ninjas, unaware of the truth about Naruto Uzumaki's background, had already conjured up a lot of melodramatic scenarios in their minds.

Kushina glanced at Naruto Uzumaki, and then saw Asuma Sarutobi and the others in their alternate forms, realizing that she could no longer hide her identity.

She glared at Hiruzen Sarutobi, still seething with anger, and began to drop her pretense.

She removed the water-shadow hat from her head, took off her wig, and her long, scarlet hair spread out.

"Kukushina?"

Upon seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened, and he pointed his finger at Kushina in disbelief.

At the same time, he finally realized the truth.

No wonder the other party could toy with me like this without causing me serious injury.

Uzumaki Kushina?

Shouldn't he have died on the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox?

Impersonation?

No, there's no sign of transformation magic; it's his true form!

Upon seeing Kushina reveal her true form, Hiruzen Sarutobi was shocked, and Orochimaru was no better off, as he was particularly concerned about the resurrection of the dead.

Kushina Uzumaki undoubtedly died long ago during the Nine-Tails' Night, and the Nine-Tails inside Naruto Uzumaki is the best proof of that.

But the Kushina that appeared before him was undoubtedly alive, which made Orochimaru even more incredulous.

"This is unbelievable! It's Kushina Uzumaki!"

"Um, who is she?! Is she famous?"

"The Red Hot Chili Pepper of Konoha, a descendant of the Uzumaki clan."

"She was also the wife of the Fourth Hokage and the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

"Where are you?!"

The ANBU ninjas outside also showed expressions of surprise, never expecting that the Fifth Mizukage was actually Kushina in disguise.

Kushina ignored everyone's surprise and simply put her hand inside her collar.

He rummaged around and then took out two dough balls.

"call!"

Kushina took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, as if relieved.

"I can finally breathe normally again!"

"I don't know how Mei Terumi can stand it. This thing is so big, she'd suffocate even if she slept on her stomach!"

Kushina threw the dough on the ground with disgust.

Small definitely has its advantages!

At this moment, Kushina was actually quite satisfied with her figure!

"Kassan!"

Naruto Uzumaki had never seen his mother before, but now that he saw Kushina's face, he was immediately certain that the person in front of him was his mother.

"Naruto, stay there and don't wander off. I'll come out after I've dealt with this mess! We'll have a good talk then!"

Kushina, now back to her original form, smiled slightly at Naruto Uzumaki, then turned to look at Hiruzen Sarutobi, her expression immediately changing.

"This isn't going to end so easily, you old man!"

"I'll settle the score with you properly after I deal with Orochimaru!"

Facing the fierce Kushina, Hiruzen Sarutobi was filled with mixed emotions, and he didn't pay attention to the tone of Kushina's voice.

After all, he owed Minato and Kushina too much over the years.

"Kushina, is it really you?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed a little incredulous, asking in disbelief, "You should have died that night!"

He was certain that during the Nine-Tails Night, Kushina Uzumaki died because she extracted the Nine-Tails and was ultimately struck by it.

He had seen the body; there was no mistake.

"It's me, but it's not me either. Never mind, this matter can't be explained in a short time!"

Kushina waved her hand, not wanting to explain to Hiruzen Sarutobi alone, since there would be a lot of other people asking the same question later.

If I explain it now, I'll have to explain it several more times later. I might as well wait until this matter is over and then explain it all at once.

Thinking this, Kushina stopped paying attention to Hiruzen Sarutobi and looked at Orochimaru instead.

"Orochimaru, I truly never imagined you would one day betray Konoha!"

Kushina asked curiously, then added with a mischievous grin, "Could it be that he was humiliated and angry after being ousted from the Hokage position by Minato?"

"Heh heh, there's no need to bring up the past to provoke me."

Orochimaru showed no anger in his eyes, but rather looked at Kushina with a meaningful gaze.

He muttered to himself.

"There is no trace of being resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation, so he is undoubtedly a living person."

"And his appearance didn't look much different from before he died."

"Excluding the possibility that he didn't die, then he must have used some kind of resurrection ninjutsu—that's interesting!"

"I never imagined that such mysterious ninjutsu existed in the ninja world! This is wonderful!"

"Kushina, what kind of resurrection ninjutsu is this? And what is the price?"

"I wonder if Kushina can answer this question for me?"

A fanatical glint flashed in Orochimaru's eyes, a gaze so intense it sent shivers down Kushina's spine.

"As expected, you haven't changed; you're still so obsessed with the art of immortality!"

Kushina remarked that since arriving in this world, she had seen many familiar people and things, most of which had changed drastically over time.

But for Orochimaru, nothing changed.

It has to be said that there are very few ninjas like Orochimaru who are so dedicated to scientific research.

"There's no other way. There are still too many unsolved mysteries in the ninja world waiting for me to investigate. I don't want to die before I understand all the secrets!"

Orochimaru said with a smile.

"I see. So, the question is, since you don't want to die..."

As Kushina spoke, her expression suddenly changed, and she said with murderous intent, "How dare you bully my son in the Forest of Death?"

"Heh heh, Kushina, you've been dead for so many years, yet you haven't changed your arrogant and domineering personality!"

Orochimaru's expression turned cold upon hearing this.

Back when she was still in Konoha, Kushina had many powerful backers, such as Tsunade, Minato, and Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was still at his peak.

Therefore, Kushina had a very strong backing, and not many people dared to mess with her. Even Orochimaru sometimes chose to avoid conflict and couldn't be bothered to argue with Kushina.

But so many years have passed, and the bigwigs behind Kushina have either grown old, died, or fallen ill.

Orochimaru, threatened by Kushina again, has no dignity left?

"Perfect timing. The ninjutsu I was planning to use to surprise Sarutobi-sensei can only be used on you now."

As Orochimaru spoke, he formed hand seals and then slammed them onto the ground.

In an instant, three coffins rose from the ground.

"Impure World Reincarnation!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was startled and immediately said to Kushina, "Kushina, stop him! That's a forbidden technique of the Second Hokage! We can't let him summon the dead!"

Upon hearing this, Kushina did not take any action, but simply looked curiously at the coffin with the character "four" engraved on it.

Chiga had told her quite a bit about Orochimaru before he came.

Therefore, she knew that Orochimaru possessed information about the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

She was even more curious whether the person lying in the coffin with the number 'four' carved on it was Minato.

After all, Minato used the Reaper Death Seal, and his soul was still inside the Shinigami's stomach, so he shouldn't have been summoned by Orochimaru.

"Heh heh, Kushina, you'll be disappointed. This coffin doesn't contain the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze!"

Orochimaru, seeing Kushina's gaze fixed on the coffin inscribed with the number "four," sighed, "Speaking of which, I also very much wish for you two to meet, but unfortunately, although I obtained the Fourth Hokage's flesh and blood, I still cannot summon his soul!"

"That's normal. I'd be surprised if you could summon it!"

Kushina nodded. Minato's soul was still inside the Shinigami's stomach in this world, so she still needed to find a way to get out of Minato's body.

If Orochimaru can really summon Minato, it means that Orochimaru has solved this problem.

Kushina should thank him!

Thinking this, Kushina suddenly noticed something.

"Wait? What did you say?"

"You obtained Minato's flesh and blood?"

"You bastard, how dare you dig up Watergate's grave?!"

Kushina was instantly enraged, and a powerful aura instantly gathered around her, causing the tiles beneath her feet to crack under this intense force.

Her eyes were filled with endless killing intent as she stared intently at Orochimaru.

"Heh heh, as expected of the Uzumaki clan, their chakra reserves are truly enormous!"

Orochimaru's expression hardened slightly, sensing that Kushina was acting strangely at this moment.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Orochimaru and added fuel to the fire, saying, "Um... Kushina, Minato was buried with you! That means Orochimaru dug you up too!"

"Hey, I got dug up too?!"

Kushina was even angrier. She looked at Orochimaru and questioned, "Orochimaru, you knew to use Minato's flesh and blood, yet you ignored me? Do you look down on me?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "." Still so unreliable!

"Heh heh, although I don't particularly like Minato Namikaze, I have to admit that his corpse is quite valuable for research, considering he rose from an ordinary ninja to the top of the ninja world!"

"As for your apology, I still have the corpses of the Uzumaki clan. I only cared about your identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

"After the Nine-Tails was extracted from your body, I personally feel that you are not particularly special."

Orochimaru stood behind the three coffins, brushed a strand of long hair behind his ear, and said.

"Since that's the case! Then let me show you the power of a Jinchūriki!"

Upon hearing this, Kushina felt as if Orochimaru had looked down on her, and a fiery red chakra immediately spread from her abdomen.

In an instant, the Nine-Tails' chakra flowed out, its color suddenly changed to gold, and it formed coats that were draped over Kushina's body.

"This...this is the Nine-Tails' chakra?!"

"How is that possible? The Nine-Tails was clearly sealed inside Naruto's body!"

"Kushina, how come there's another one inside you?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru were horrified when they saw this.

Compared to the situation where the leak had damaged the surrounding tiles, Kushina was now in much greater danger.
