Naruto: Forced to activate Infinite Tsukuyomi in order to return home

While Minato Namikaze was locked in fierce combat with the mysterious man, Kushina's consciousness miraculously began to gradually return.

She could clearly feel that the Nine-Tails' chakra within her body was being forcibly extracted by an invisible hand, and it was slipping away every second.

However, it was precisely at this critical juncture of life and death that Kushina's will became even stronger.

"I can't... just give up like this..."

Kushina silently told herself this, and her hands suddenly clenched, as if she wanted to concentrate all her strength in this moment.

As her will surged, the chakra within her body began to fluctuate violently, like a long-dormant volcano finally about to erupt.

"Um?"

The man who was fighting Minato Namikaze suddenly changed his expression, his gaze flashing like lightning as he turned to Kushina on the altar:

"You actually have the ability to resist?"

Kushina's voice rang out at that moment, filled with unprecedented resolve and determination:

"Minato... For you, no matter what difficulties I face, I will never give up!"

As she finished speaking, a powerful force suddenly erupted from her body. This force was so intense that it shattered the black chains that had bound her for so long, producing a crisp and loud cracking sound.

"What?!"

An expression of disbelief and shock finally appeared on the man's face.

He never expected that Kushina would be able to break free from his tight seal; this was completely beyond his expectations.

"Kushina!"

A hint of indescribable surprise and excitement flashed in Minato Namikaze's eyes.

He flashed and appeared beside Kushina in the blink of an eye, carefully helping her up.

Although Kushina's face was pale and her voice was somewhat weak, her eyes were exceptionally firm:

"Minato, don't worry, I'm alright..."

Minato Namikaze looked at her intently, a warm feeling welling up inside him.

He nodded slightly, his voice gentle yet firm:

"Let's end this absurd battle together."

His gaze sharpened again, as if he could already see the dawn of victory.

"it is good."

Kushina responded briefly and forcefully, as a surge of chakra welled up within her once more, as if an indomitable force was supporting her.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina stood side by side, their gazes like two sharp swords, fixed on the man before them, unwavering.

The two chakras miraculously intertwined at this moment, forming an unprecedentedly powerful force that seemed to make even the surrounding air tremble.

"Hmph, how utterly laughable. Foolish mortals, you actually dare to think that joining forces can contend with the noble gods?"

The man's voice was full of mockery and disdain. His hands flew across the room, forming hand seals. With a deep rumble, a powerful, suffocating burst of chakra erupted, as if it were about to tear the entire space apart.

"【Flying Thunder God】!"

Minato Namikaze let out a low shout, and his body instantly disappeared from the spot. The next moment, he appeared behind the man, a powerful Rasengan already formed in his hand!

"【blockade】!"

Kushina's hands quickly formed hand seals, and countless golden chains surged from the ground, sweeping towards the man.

A serious expression finally appeared on the man's face.

With a wave of his hands, a powerful burst of chakra erupted, blocking the attacks from Minato Namikaze and Kushina.

However, the combined strength of the two still forced him back several steps.

"it's over."

Minato Namikaze's voice was calm and resolute. His hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals as if in a dance, and an unprecedentedly powerful chakra gathered in his palms, as if even space itself trembled.

"【Spiral Flash Super Wheel Dance Roar Three Styles】!"

Minato Namikaze and Kushina's voices rang out almost simultaneously. Their chakra reached a perfect fusion at that moment, forming an extremely dazzling light, like lightning piercing the night sky, pointing straight at the man's chest with overwhelming force.

A hint of fear, which was hard to conceal, finally surfaced on the man's face.

He never expected that Minato Namikaze and Kushina would be able to unleash such a powerful technique together.

He hurriedly mobilized the power within his body, trying to withstand this fatal blow, but it was already too late.

The dazzling light, as bright as the blazing sun, pierced through the man's defenses in an instant, completely engulfing his massive body.

Within the light, the man's figure trembled violently, then gradually dissipated like dust swept away by the wind, eventually turning into nothingness, leaving only a faint shadow swaying in the air.

As the man disappeared, the chakra fluctuations around the altar gradually subsided, as if everything had returned to tranquility.

However, an indescribable sense of unease still lingered in the air, a trace left by the battle and proof that Minato Namikaze and Kushina had gone through a life-or-death ordeal together.

They stood side by side, their eyes fixed on the front, exhausted but their eyes shining with the light of victory.

At this moment, their hearts were closer than ever, as if the whole world could not separate them.

"it's over……"

Kushina's voice was slightly hoarse, revealing a hint of weariness that was hard to conceal, but her eyes remained piercing, shining with an indomitable light.

Minato Namikaze nodded slightly, his voice gentle yet powerful:

"Yes, Kushina, we won."

"All of that is now in the past."

He slowly extended his right hand and gently grasped Kushina's slightly trembling hand, his eyes filled with deep concern and tenderness.

"Watergate..."

Kushina's voice rang out again, this time with even more obvious emotion and a sob in her voice.

Minato Namikaze simply held her tightly, his voice softly whispering in Kushina's ear, filled with unwavering determination and tenderness:

"Kushina, we don't need this between us..."

"No matter what difficulties we face in the future, I will be by your side and face them with you."

The afterglow of the setting sun fell upon the two of them, gilding their figures with a golden glow.

At that moment, it was as if the whole world had stopped, with only the soft echoes of their heartbeats and breaths resonating in each other's ears...

Kushina nestled in Minato Namikaze's arms, savoring the hard-won peace and warmth.

An unprecedented sense of gratitude and happiness welled up in her heart, as if all the pain and struggle had been perfectly compensated at this moment.

Just then, a strange light suddenly appeared in the distant sky, and a powerful aura emanated from the horizon. Minato Namikaze and Kushina looked up at the same time and saw a figure slowly descending from the clouds, exuding a sacred and majestic aura.

"That is..."

Kushina's mouth dropped open in surprise.

Minato Namikaze frowned, sensing the power and extraordinary nature of that aura:

"It seems our battle is not over yet..."
