Seizing the Nine-Tails

Without looking at Madara Uchiha, Vegapunk took two steps closer to examine Madara Uchiha's corpse, but Hancock grabbed him and pulled him back.

"Come out here!!" Hancock frowned and shouted at Madara Uchiha's body. Seeing that Madara Uchiha's corpse did not react, she sneered, then stretched out a hand, and black Truth-Seeking Orb condensed into a black longsword, which she stabbed hard at Madara Uchiha's corpse.

With a whoosh, the shadow beneath Madara Uchiha's corpse suddenly stirred, seemingly trying to escape, but was pierced to the last section by the black longsword, and immediately let out a shrill scream.

"Shut up! Be quiet for me!!" Hancock shouted fiercely, then pulled out the black Truth-Seeking Orb sword in her hand. At the very top of the Truth-Seeking Orb was a string of something that looked like black sludge.

With a thought, Hancock's Truth-Seeking Orb sword instantly transformed into a sphere, enveloping the entire black sludge. "Darling, this should be the Black Zetsu!"

"Well done," Vegapunk nodded, glanced at Madara Uchiha's corpse, put it away, and then looked up at the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path above.

"Let's seal this thing away first!"

As he spoke, Vegapunk directly formed Hand Seals, and the entire Demonic Statue of the Outer Path transformed into a massive amount of Chakra, which he absorbed into his palm.

Then he turned his head and pressed directly on Kaguya Otsutsuki's lower abdomen. Kaguya Otsutsuki's body trembled slightly, and she felt a surge of Chakra of the same origin flowing into her body, continuously merging with the Chakra within her body.

The feeling was very strange. This Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to have some kind of completion ability, which made Kaguya Otsutsuki clearly feel that her Chakra had changed. Although the quantity had not increased much, the quality had made real progress.

The Chakra of the Otsutsuki Clan is almost all at the level of Kekkei Mōra. While this is almost overwhelming for ordinary ninjas, the difference is not so great for fellow Otsutsuki. The qualitative change in Chakra that Kaguya Otsutsuki felt would normally require at least three or four God Tree Fruits!

A hint of excitement flashed across her face, Kaguya Otsutsuki quickly lowered her head. She hoped that once she absorbed more of this world's Chakra, or even absorbed her own essence within this world... perhaps she could truly defeat Hancock and gain her freedom!

In that case, I could force Vegapunk to hand over the Parallel World development technology. As long as I keep absorbing the Chakra of my counterpart in the Parallel World, I can become incomparably powerful!

At that time, not only will the pursuers from the Otsutsuki Clan be gone, but I might even be able to launch a counterattack against the Otsutsuki Clan!

Vegapunk smiled faintly as he glanced at Kaguya Otsutsuki was secretly plotting something. After conducting so many research experiments, Vegapunk had thoroughly studied Kaguya Otsutsuki from head to toe. He had countless hidden devices planted on her body. How could he possibly hide what she was thinking from Vegapunk?

(Looks like... this White Mouse is quite useful... and it's surprisingly proactive, changing its mind so quickly and agreeing to participate in the experiment!)

As for whether Kaguya Otsutsuki's strength will surge and she will escape control... are you kidding me? Do you really think all those underhanded tricks Vegapunk used on her were for nothing? Even if Kaguya Otsutsuki were dozens of times stronger than he was at her peak, Vegapunk would still have a way to make her kneel on the ground in an instant!

Konohagakure.

"Seriously, that old geezer, the Third Hokage! The situation is so tense right now, why won't he let me go to the battlefield?!"

Kushina Uzumaki Red Hair, sat in the izakaya and muttered to herself.

"Well... my sister's identity is special, the Lord Hokage must have his own reasons!"

Sitting in front of Kushina was a cute short-haired girl with two square purple paint marks on her face. She had a gentle face with a forced smile as she spoke.

"Hmph!! Those are just excuses, Lin! The old man just doesn't believe me!"

"I heard that the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki from Kumogakure was always on the battlefield with the Fourth Raikage, and those two shamelessly ganged up on Minato! If I had been there, those two guys definitely wouldn't have made it back alive!"

Kushina Uzumaki shouted aloud, then poured herself a glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp.

Sitting opposite him, Rin's smile was already quite forced. Those eight Jinchuriki were Perfect Jinchuriki! Kushina, you've never used the Nine-Tails' power in battle, let alone gone directly to the battlefield!

Besides, do you really want to fight? You just want to go find Minato!

In reality, Minato Squad has long since gone their separate ways. Kakashi has been promoted to Jonin, Rin Nohara Awakening Wood Style, and even Young Obito, who was originally a burden, has greatly improved his strength with the help of the transmigrated Obito Uchiha and successfully passed the Special Jonin exam.

After all, no matter how dim-witted Young Obito was, he still had talent. In addition, Obito Uchiha himself knew his childhood best, so with individualized instruction, becoming a Special Jonin wouldn't be a problem.

After Rin Nohara Awakening her Wood Release Kekkei Genkai with Obito Uchiha's secret help, she was promoted to Jonin and also became Kushina Uzumaki's teammate.

In the entire ninja world, only Wood Release and Sharingan can restrain Tailed Beasts. In order to prevent Tailed Beast Jinchuriki from going berserk, it is necessary to have ninjas who can restrain Tailed Beasts by their side.

Although the relationship between Konoha and the Uchiha is not yet hostile, they do not trust each other too much. Naturally, they would not allow anyone from the Uchiha Clan to get close to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. So, after considering all the options, the best choice is Rin Nohara, who has Awakening Wood Style.

Compared to the fiery Kushina Uzumaki, Rin Nohara was much gentler. As a medical-nin, even with the Awakening Wood Style, she was indifferent to going to the battlefield and naturally wouldn't agree with Kushina Uzumaki.

"Going to the battlefield is not a good thing. The current Konohagakure is not so dire that it needs Kushina, to go to the battlefield. You should stay in Konoha and wait for news from Minato!"

"Minato is the renowned Yellow Flash. I think you don't need to worry about his safety, sister!"

Kushina Uzumaki blushed slightly. "Who's worried about him? I just want to do my part for Konoha!"

"Yes, yes, yes! My sister just loves Konoha and wants to do her best for Konoha!" Rin Nohara chuckled and said, but her attitude made Kushina's face turn even redder.

But at that moment, Kushina's expression suddenly changed drastically, and her body even trembled slightly. "Such powerful Chakra, who is it?!"

As a princess of the Uzumaki Clan, Kushina possesses extremely pure bloodline and received the true inheritance of the Uzumaki Clan from a young age. Naturally, she had already Awakening the Uzumaki Clan's Kekkei Genkai such as Mind's Eye of the Kagura and the Adamantine Sealing Chains.

However, just now, her Mind's Eye of the Kagura sensed several incredibly powerful Chakra in an instant. They were even more powerful than the Nine-Tails within her, and the terrifying Chakra was beyond measure!

Not only that, the Nine-Tails inside her also seemed to become extremely agitated, and even showed signs of fear and timidity!

"What's wrong, Kushina- neechan?" Rin Nohara asked curiously, then followed Kushina's gaze and saw several people entering the tavern.

That guy with the Byakugan must be from the Hyuga Clan, right? That handsome couple looks so tall! I've never seen such a beautiful woman before.

There was another person Akatsuki cloak, who also looked somewhat strange, and whose actions were vaguely familiar.

Who are these people? Could they be spies from other ninja villages?

As Vegapunk and his group approached, Kushina trembled more and more violently, and suddenly cried out, "Rin, run!!"

"What!?" Rin Nohara was slightly stunned. Before she could react, she saw the Blond Boy raise his hand slightly. "Electromagnetic Shock Pulse!"

The powerful Magnetic Field instantly struck Rin Nohara's brain, causing her to immediately black out and faint on the table.

A clattering sound rang out, and most of the customers in the izakaya immediately left. The few remaining were probably Konoha ninjas, who now surrounded Vegapunk and his group with unfriendly expressions.

Vegapunk didn't care about this. He didn't care about Konoha now. If it weren't for his desire to avoid bloodshed, he wouldn't have needed to use Space-Time Ninjutsu to enter Konoha. He could have just stormed in through the main gate and no one could have stopped him.

"You guys get out of here!! These guys are beyond your capabilities!!!"

Kushina Uzumaki was so anxious she was almost in tears, and she shouted loudly to the group of ninjas.

The emotions of the Jinchuriki and the Tailed Beast can influence each other. Kushina was already quite frightened by the Chakra of Vegapunk and his group. After Kurama sensed the Chakra of Kaguya Otsutsuki and Hancock, he became even more timid and almost curled up into a ball. Due to their mutual influence, before Vegapunk and the others even made a move, Kushina Uzumaki was already on the verge of a breakdown.

The other Konoha Ninja in the tavern, mostly Chunin and Genin, had little Chakra sensing ability. With Vegapunk and his group deliberately suppressing their Chakra, they were truly fearless in their ignorance.

Without saying a word, the adult ninjas of Konoha have basically all been on the battlefield, and those in the tavern are all temporarily back to rest. They are all ruthless and taciturn, and they immediately attacked with Kunai and shuriken.

Vegapunk frowned slightly. At that moment, Obito Uchiha the first to step forward. "Doctor! Leave these people to me!"

Without waiting for Vegapunk's reply, Obito Uchiha hand Hand Seals, and the wooden tables and stools in the tavern suddenly seemed to come alive, sprouting branches and trunks. They not only blocked the thrown projectiles but also entangled all the ninjas.

Vegapunk glanced at Obito Uchiha but didn't say anything.

Since arriving in this world, Obito Uchiha gradually seemed to wake up from a nightmare, and his personality began to resemble the original Young Obito. The reason he took action was to reduce the losses of Konoha.

Obito Uchiha only captured them alive, but the others wouldn't deliberately hold back.

"Damn it!! What are you bastards trying to do?"

Kushina Uzumaki took a deep breath, barely suppressing her fear, and Hand Seals behind her back, extending several golden chains.

As for the Nine-Tails... no matter how Kushina tried to communicate with it, this strongest Tailed Beast seemed to be playing dead, and didn't react at all. It only responded with a huge wave of fear, which made Kushina Uzumaki so angry that she almost jumped up and down.

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, is it? Hand over the Tailed Beast obediently!"

Hancock took a step forward, spoke calmly, and then waved her hand. Kushina Uzumaki felt the world spin, and a powerful gravitational force pressed down on her, causing her to fall to the ground.

"Where... am I? Damn it... it feels so heavy!"

Kushina Uzumaki was lying on the ground, spoke a couple of words in a broken voice. She barely managed to lift her head, only to see that the surroundings were desolate, as if she had been transported to another space.

This is the Gravity Space of Amenominaka. Under the powerful pressure of gravity, Kushina Uzumaki can hardly move at all.

She wasn't a Taijutsu ninja, nor did she have the Nine-Tails 'Chakra mode, and she hadn't learned any Senjutsu. The fact that she wasn't directly crushed to death by gravity already shows how tenacious she was.

In the Gravity Space, Obito was directly crushed to the ground, Kaguya Otsutsuki was also teetering on the brink of collapse, Vegapunk's breathing was only slightly heavier, and the even more powerful Hancock showed no unusual behavior whatsoever.

Compared to ninjas with powerful Chakra but fragile bodies, the extraordinary physiques of the Pirate World undoubtedly have a very high resistance to this kind of pure gravity.

Hancock reached out and grabbed the nearly dizzy Kushina Uzumaki, then stretched out a hand and pulled sharply from her lower abdomen, instantly drawing out a massive amount of Chakra, which was then sealed away by the black Tailed Beast Ball.

Kushina Uzumaki groaned in pain, her body twitched twice, and then she fainted. However, thanks to Vegapunk's improved method of extracting the Tailed Beast, it did not cause any harm to the Jinchuriki. Kushina Uzumaki only fainted because of the discomfort caused by the sudden extraction of the Tailed Beast.

Hancock looked Kushina Uzumaki up and down, then said to Vegapunk, "Darling, I think this redhead is a bit better than the average ugly woman. Do you want to take her as your maid?"

Vegapunk rolled his eyes. "Stop it, they're getting married soon!"

Upon hearing this, Hancock could only glance regretfully at Kushina Uzumaki before waving her hand and throwing her out of the Amenominaka Space.
