Kushina's Exit

"So that's how it is." Kushina coldly looked at the circle of monsters around her.

She already understood the truth.

This was a trap.

A trap specifically targeting her.

The Monster Association was merely a target. The moment they noticed that target would be the moment they acted.

There had to be spies on Konoha's side.

They had received the information immediately. The moment Konoha discussed dealing with the Monster Association, they had begun preparing.

They had waited for Konoha to commit a large portion of its forces to the Monster Association's former location.

Then they would strike in one fell swoop and take them down.

A huge number of chains erupted from Kushina's Chain Dharma Body.

"You really planned this well."

Gyoro Gyoro looked at the countless chains surrounding Kushina.

"You can't escape. With only yourself, there's no way you can hold out until reinforcements arrive."

Gyoro Gyoro waved a hand, and all the monsters charged at Kushina.

Kushina gritted her teeth.

Countless chains began flowing rapidly, wrapping around all the Konoha members nearby.

A yellow radiance suddenly flared, spreading outward with powerful shockwaves and blasting away every monster that rushed forward.

Monster King Orochi made his move at that moment. The tentacles atop his head rapidly extended, stabbing toward the Yellow Light with immense piercing force.

They instantly pierced through the Yellow Light, continuing to penetrate the flowing chains.

"Clatter!"

Countless chains shattered in an instant, but innumerable black chains emerged from within the yellow chains and slammed into the tentacles.

The two sides collided, unless they were instantly torn to pieces.

The Chain Dharma Body slowly rose to its feet, sweeping its gaze around before finally settling on Gyoro Gyoro.

A strange smile appeared on Gyoro Gyoro's face. "I never expected you to send everyone else away."
