While the Six Paths brothers discussed Soji and their mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, the battle between Urashiki, future Sasuke, Minato, Kushina, and Naruto had also reached a fever pitch.
Ever since Naruto had become a Perfect Jinchuriki and activated Kurama Mode, he had finally gained the qualifications to join the battle.
In a one-against-four situation, Urashiki held no advantage.
However, as time slowly passed, Kushina, the main source of firepower, gradually began to run out of steam.
It was not because she lacked Chakra.
As a Perfect Dragon Vein Jinchuriki with the physique of the Uzumaki Clan, her Chakra reserves were unquestionably abundant.
The problem was that the Dragon Vein's nature was simply too unusual.
To be honest, after drawing upon all the Dragon Vein's power, Kushina had effectively entered a special kind of Sage Mode.
And among the Sage Modes known in the Ninja World, aside from Hashirama Senju, no one currently could maintain one for an extended period.
Naturally, Soji was excluded.
Therefore, Kushina was clearly no exception.
Even if this all-out state of hers was not Sage Mode, it was at least similar to one.
"Crack~"
After Urashiki once again evaded Kushina's burst of azure Rising Dragon Fist, a faint sound suddenly came from her body.
At the same time, a trace of disharmony appeared in her movements.
Even the azure Dragon Vein Chakra enveloping her body flickered faintly for an instant.
Kushina discreetly glanced at her abdomen.
There, on her fair, crystalline skin, a gray patch the size of a fingernail had already appeared.
Clearly, the high-intensity use of Dragon Vein power combined with her full-force attacks had caused a small part of Kushina's body to begin petrifying.
If Kushina did not stop and rest properly, the petrification on the surface of her body would gradually spread!
