Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 185 Surprise Attack! Susanoo?!

One day at the end of February in the 39th year of Konoha.

On this day, Youya was discussing trade cooperation with representatives from other villages for the new year.

Meanwhile, this day also happened to be a few days after the start of the Ninja Academy.

Kushina Uzumaki was walking home with several workbooks in her hands.

She looked at Minato Namikaze, who was standing beside her, and said irritably:

"You're not actually going to follow me if the teacher tells you to, are you?!"

Minato Namikaze rolled his eyes: "Hey, get this straight, you got punished for not finishing your holiday homework. I'm kindly bringing it back to you, so don't be ungrateful!"

The two, who just turned twelve this year, have been studying at the ninja academy for two years, and this is their third year.

This year is crucial for the two of them, as it determines whether they can graduate.

They don't want to repeat a grade.

Although strictly speaking, since mathematics became a compulsory subject, there are always some underachievers who have to repeat a grade at Konoha's Ninja Academy every year, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki certainly couldn't accept that they were among the underachievers.

So it's the last year, so let's do our best.

Then, just as they were thinking this, a figure appeared and blocked their way on their way home.

Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze's current location is quite interesting. Kushina Uzumaki lives in the northernmost street, which is the street next to the Hokage's office building and the Hokage Rock.

The Ninja Academy is located in the western district of Konoha's inner city.

Therefore, if Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze were blocked by someone as soon as they stepped out of the school gate, the Sarutobi, Shimura, and other families would be able to detect them very quickly in that area.

However, if Kushina Uzumaki were to be ambushed just before she was about to go home, the defenses would be strong given that the building is located right next to the Hokage's office.

Therefore, if Uchiha Setsuna wanted to ambush the person and kidnap them in a short time, the only location he could choose was the street intersection not far from the East District, which was the area between the West District and the North District, after passing through the area related to the Hokage's office building, and just before he was about to go home!

And that's exactly what he did.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki were still unaware of the gravity of the situation; they were still wondering:

"It's an uncle from the Uchiha clan... May I ask what's the matter?"

Minato Namikaze is undoubtedly a very cheerful kid. His initiative in asking questions without any stage fright shows that he has a strong sense of initiative.

Uchiha Setsuna glanced at the two of them, bypassing Namikaze Minato, and looked directly at Uzumaki Kushina. Then, his eyes transformed into Sharingan.

With a "whoosh," several Konoha ninjas who had been secretly protecting Kushina Uzumaki appeared in front of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, blocking their view of Setsuna Uchiha and shouting, "Don't look him in the eyes!"

Uchiha Setsuna scoffed, "You think you can get away with it just by not looking at my eyes?! How naive!"

The figure with long black hair among the ANBU ninjas was suddenly stunned, then turned around in shock to look behind him.

Although the animal mask concealed her expression, her body language clearly showed that she was extremely shocked.

As expected, Kushina Uzumaki was already under the spell, standing there with a blank expression.

Minato Namikaze, his face contorted in extreme pain, knelt on one knee.

"Damn it, how is this possible!"

Looking at the ANBU ninja, Uchiha Setsuna grinned: "The Uchiha clan uses the Sharingan to release genjutsu... People from other clans probably wouldn't have such a profound idea."

But... if you're from the Uchiha clan, how could your weak Sharingan possibly compare to mine!

As he spoke, Uchiha Setsuna walked towards the three ANBU ninjas who had appeared: "Of the three of you, one should be that woman from the Hyuga clan, one should be Uchiha Yuu, and the last one..."

Uchiha Setsuna narrowed his eyes as he looked at the man with a full head of white hair: "Hatake Sakumo?"

There are quite a few white-haired people in Konoha Village, but this white-haired ANBU ninja is one who was assigned to such an important mission as protecting the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki...

Even with the mask on, Uchiha Setsuna felt that he had discovered the truth.

"..." But only silence answered him.

But Uchiha Yuu, who was wearing a mask, suddenly seemed to have discovered something, staring at Uchiha Setsuna in shock: "Your eyes! The pattern in your eyes... is not an ordinary Sharingan!"

Uchiha Setsuna laughed heartily: "Of course! With this power, how could my Sharingan be just an ordinary one!"

With a "whoosh," Hatake Sakumo disappeared from his spot, and almost simultaneously, a short sword pierced Uchiha Setsuna's neck.

Sakumo Hatake, hidden behind the mask, frowned; something felt off.

"What gave you the illusion that you could stab me?" Uchiha Setsuna's sinister laugh rang in my ears.

Sakumo Hatake's pupils contracted sharply. The next moment, he felt a chill on his neck. He turned his head and saw an exact replica of himself had plunged a short knife into his neck...

[An illusion?! When did I fall for it?!]

Before Hatake Sakumo could even react in shock, he hurriedly formed hand seals, but he was unable to dispel the illusion.

In the real world:

Just as Hatake Sakumo was about to make a move, his body suddenly went limp and collapsed. Fortunately, he managed to brace himself with his hands as he fell...

"Huff huff huff..." Hatake Sakumo was now covered in cold sweat.

Uchiha Yu spoke in a deep voice: "You were actually under a genjutsu?! When did that happen...?"

Uchiha Setsuna sneered, "From the moment you appeared, you were under my genjutsu!"

That's nonsense; it actually happened at the moment I opened my eyes.

However, no one would directly and clearly explain their abilities to the other party.

"Let's go! Let's get help!"

Uchiha Rou acted decisively, throwing Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina out of the street.

At the same time, she pressed a button on her waist.

Then, in broad daylight, colorful fireworks suddenly appeared in the sky above the street, accompanied by a very loud noise.

Uchiha Setsuna's expression changed drastically.

He had only worked in the security department and was unaware that the reporting methods of the ANBU ninjas had undergone several upgrades.

In fact, the fireworks were merely a distraction for the enemy. The real notification was sent to the research department of Konoha Village the moment the button was pressed, and then the people in the research department would report directly to the Hokage's office by phone.

In Uchiha Setsuna's eyes, the current situation was that the distress signal had been sent out, so they had to deal with the person and kidnap the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki as quickly as possible.

after all……

Their Uchiha clan's Infinite Tsukuyomi plan requires the power of the nine tailed beasts.

Without further ado, Uchiha Setsuna drew a steel-bladed katana and charged directly at the three.

Sakumo Hatake immediately stood up and blocked Setsuna Uchiha's attack.

Uchiha Setsuna was furious and prepared to use genjutsu to show Hatake Sakumo his power again, but he found that Hatake Sakumo's eyes were closed and he was listening intently when facing him.

Damn it!

Uchiha Setsuna was getting anxious. Even with these eyes now, he couldn't guarantee he wouldn't be at a disadvantage against all the ninjas in Konoha...

In fact, even if it were just Uchiha people, he would find it hard to stand them.

The key now is...

"ha!"

Hyuga Kazuko, her hands enveloped in dragon-head-shaped chakra, engaged in close combat with Uchiha Setsuna.

If he had more time, his Mangekyou Sharingan could evolve to the point where he could trap even Hyuga clan members in an illusion.

However, his kaleidoscope has only been evolved for a few days now, and he actually experiences a dull ache every time he uses it. He knows that this is a side effect of the eye transplant surgery.

In that brief moment of distraction, Uchiha was about to retaliate when he found his body being jolted by something.

His gaze shifted downwards, and Uchiha instantly spotted a thin, almost imperceptible steel wire...

not good!

Fire Release: Balsam Flower Technique

Uchiha Yu took a deep breath and then suddenly spat out a large number of small flames at Uchiha Setsatsu.

Uchiha Setsuna gritted his teeth. How ruthless!

He knew best the steel wire produced by the Uchiha clan, as it possessed excellent conductivity and toughness.

Even the slightest spark that lands on the steel wire can ignite a raging fire that then spreads to him.

In the past, these were things that the Uchiha used to deal with other people!

Uchiha Setsuna took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

Then he suddenly opened his eyes, and the manga pattern in his eyes spun rapidly. A blue figure suddenly appeared and directly cut the steel wires around Uchiha Setsuna's body to isolate the flames. At the same time, he knocked away Hatake Sakumo and Hyuga Kazuko.

With a cry of pain, the two were thrown away, while Uchiha Yu stood there stunned.

Because she recognized what it was.

In fact, anyone in the Uchiha clan over the age of thirty knows about Madara Uchiha's past power and his unique blue chakra giant.

They also knew that this existence was called—

Susanoo.

"Why do you have the same abilities as Lord Madara?!" Uchiha Yu exclaimed in shock.

Madara Uchiha and his group wouldn't know about the children born in the Uchiha clan in recent years, and the Uchiha clan wouldn't let them know either.

Because Uchiha Madara was a god-like man to them.

However, since this god-like man was defeated by the God of Shinobi, it's inevitable to recount Hashirama Senju's victory over Madara Uchiha. Every time this is mentioned, it's like rubbing salt into the Uchiha's wounds.

But now, Setsuna Uchiha actually possesses the same abilities as Madara Uchiha?!

How could this not shock Uchiha Yuu?!

"Get out of here!"

Uchiha Setsuna roared, activated his blue Gundam, and slapped the three people in front of him...

Even though Hatake Sakumo did his best to defend, even though Hyuga Kazuko activated her Rotation, even though Uchiha Yuu reacted quickly, it was all in vain...

With such a huge difference in strength, being knocked away is simply being knocked away; if you can't beat them, you can't beat them.

Uchiha Setsuna didn't even glance at the three people who were sent flying several streets away, severely injured.

The Konoha reinforcements are about to arrive, and he must take advantage of this opportunity to take the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki away!

As for finishing off these three...

Are they a threat to me?

There isn't one, so whether or not you last hit is irrelevant.

The most important thing right now is finding the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki.

She was held up for about a minute, but Uchiha Setsuna quickly caught up with Uzumaki Kushina.

In less than a minute, how far could Kushina Uzumaki, who hasn't even graduated from the Ninja Academy yet, run?!

Not to mention...

This place is very close to her residence, and she would prioritize going there. Uchiha Setsuna didn't even need to use her Sharingan to know that.

The massive Susanoo dissipated, and with a few Body Flicker Techniques, Uchiha Setsuna was standing at the doorstep of Uzumaki Kushina's house.

Looking down at the ninjas below, who were clearly dressed in the Uzumaki clan's attire and had only come temporarily, Uchiha Setsuna snorted disdainfully.

These pieces of trash could only hold him off for a minute; they'd be no match for Uchiha Setsuna.

Below, Kushina Uzumaki thought differently. Hiding behind her parents, she waved her little pink fists at Setsuna Uchiha on the wall, yelling, "Uchiha uncle! Come on over here if you dare!"

Then she looked at the stern-faced elders of the Whirlpool Clan in her family and smiled smugly: "My great-grandfathers won't let you get away with this!"

These members of the Uzumaki clan were once elders of the clan, but because they coveted power and were unwilling to cooperate with Yua's plan to build the Land of Whirlpools, Yua forcibly brought them to Konoha. The reason given was that these people did not attend Mito Uzumaki's funeral in person.

In fact, even if these people had come at that time, Youya would not have let them leave.

It can only be said that those who sit in high positions all know perfectly well how the game should be played.

Where do all these emotions come from? They're all just excuses for self-interest.

Of course, this is their opinion. As far as Yuya is concerned, even if they don't attend Mito Uzumaki's funeral, he will still put them under house arrest. But back then, they would definitely be fed and cared for well, unlike now where they even have to report to go out.

The consequence of Yuya's house arrest of these people was that they were actually dissatisfied with Konoha Village.

Similarly, they usually acted like elders towards Kushina Uzumaki.

But if it really comes down to a life-or-death situation...

For example, right now...

The first reaction of these Uzumaki clan elders was definitely not to fight Uchiha Setsuna.

When Uchiha Setsuna activated Susanoo and killed more than a dozen Uzumaki clan ninjas who were protecting the clan elders, he saw the mangled, bloody mess on the ground, things that could no longer be called "human."

The elders of the Vortex Clan knelt down almost instantly.

"We...we have no reason to conflict with you...you...if you want to take Kushina away, then take her!"

Upon hearing her great-grandfather speak like that, Kushina Uzumaki felt as if the sky had fallen. What was even harder for her to accept was that as Setsuna Uchiha jumped down from the wall and walked towards her, her parents, who had just been protecting her, now retreated in fear…

Strictly speaking, Kushina Uzumaki's parents were also brought to Konoha as a form of soft "hostage".

They live in Konoha, but are not allowed to leave the village. Although their material needs are met, it's impossible for anyone to believe that they harbor no hatred towards Konoha.

the most important is……

Kushina Uzumaki's parents were descendants of these Uzumaki clan elders.

These clan elders had been trying to brainwash Kushina Uzumaki, both openly and secretly, to make her hate Konoha.

How could they possibly let her parents off the hook?

Of course, it's impossible to say that Kushina's parents didn't love her.

They are just...

I just love myself more.

Uchiha Setsuna sneered, looking at Uzumaki Kushina with mockery: "Now, tell me, who else can protect you?"

Kushina Uzumaki stood there dumbfounded. Children in the Naruto world are precocious, let alone someone who had already been abandoned.

Therefore, a negative emotion welled up in her heart...

"Snap"

A small hand grabbed Kushina's arm.

Uchiha Setsuna raised an eyebrow.

Minato Namikaze grabbed Kushina's hand, then looked at Setsuna Uchiha: "If you want to take her away... you'll have to ask me first!"

Then Minato Namikaze pulled a small dumpling from his pocket and threw it hard on the ground.

Uchiha Setsuna sneered, and just as he was about to activate Susanoo, he suddenly smelled a foul odor.

Almost as soon as that damned possibility flashed through his mind, Uchiha retreated backward as if he had seen a ghost.

In the five seconds it took for Uchiha Setsatsu to cover his mouth and nose in disgust and then look back in that direction after the dumpling exploded and spread outwards...

Minato Namikaze had already escaped by scaling the wall behind the house with Kushina Uzumaki.

Uchiha Setsuna took a deep breath in anger, almost fainting from the stench.

He knew this wasn't the thing he was thinking of in the toilet.

But it stinks even worse than that stuff!

This smells like the awful smell of expired stinky tofu and rotten durian thrown into a swill bucket and boiled together!

Alright, alright! A Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and a boy who likes to play with shit... well, not exactly shit, but pretty much the same kind of boy...

You guys have really pissed me off!

Uchiha Setsuna's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

……

Minato Namikaze grabbed Kushina Uzumaki's hand and ran towards the back of the Hokage Rock, quickly traversing through the forest on the Hokage Rock wall.

"I...I can't run anymore..."

Kushina Uzumaki suddenly collapsed to her knees.

Minato Namikaze, panting heavily, looked at Kushina Uzumaki, turned around, and sat down on a tree stump. He calmly said, "We can't stop now; he'll definitely catch up soon!"

Kushina Uzumaki's face softened. It must be said that she was extremely vulnerable at the moment, having just been abandoned by her family, and many things amplified her feelings toward a person.

Then, she looked at Minato Namikaze with disgust: "What did you just throw? It stinks!"

After catching his breath, Minato Namikaze said, "Whirlwind Invincible Super Thunder Stinky Egg, I read a few chemistry books during my vacation and then tried to make this experimental product."

Kushina Uzumaki was speechless. What kind of name is that?

but……

"...Thank you..." Kushina Uzumaki whispered.

Minato Namikaze looked completely bewildered: "What?"

Kushina Uzumaki's eyes reddened: "Thank you... for not abandoning me..."

Minato Namikaze waved his hand: "The school taught us long ago that the lives of Konoha villagers are above all else at all times, whether they are ninjas or civilians."

Aren't you also a Konoha person? No need to be so polite.

Kushina Uzumaki bit her lip but didn't say anything.

She used to just ignore those words.

After all, her parents and great-grandfathers had taught her not to be blinded by the small favors and benefits offered by Konoha...

But looking at it now...

She felt a pang of regret.

Just as she was about to say something, Kushina Uzumaki's expression suddenly changed, because she saw...

Uchiha Setsuna is walking towards her...

Minato Namikaze rose and stood in front of Kushina Uzumaki, his arms outstretched, looking at Setsuna Uchiha with unwavering determination: "If you want to take her away, defeat me first!"

Uchiha Setsuna sneered, "You? You think you can stop me?!"

Looking at the slightly trembling hands of the person in front of her, Kushina Uzumaki knew that the other person was not without fear...

"Look at my stinky jerk!"

Minato Namikaze was about to reach into his pocket when Setsuna Uchiha instantly activated Susanoo and swatted him aside.

He didn't want to smell that stench again.

Kushina Uzumaki stared blankly at Minato Namikaze, who had been swept aside, before her expression gradually turned ferocious.

Three lines gradually appeared on her fair face.

Uchiha Setsuna remained remarkably calm: "Oh? So you let the Nine-Tails' chakra leak out in your rage? But you don't think you can..."

With a "bang," he was kicked away.

Kushina Uzumaki's body was still radiating red chakra as she stared blankly at the scene. Setsuna Uchiha scrambled to his feet; he hadn't deactivated his Susanoo!

Who is it! Who the hell is it...?

Then he saw Kushina Uzumaki standing in front of him, looking at him with a disappointed expression...

Uchiha Kagami.
