Minato intends to launch Dead Demon Consuming Seal.
As Fourth Hokage, he doesn't mind sacrificing his life for the village.
"The complete body Nine-Tails is too powerful. If half of Nine-Tails can be sealed into Naruto's body, Nine-Tails's power can also be left for the village..." Minato thought like this.
However, his plan was directly blocked by Kushina who rushed out.
"Wait, Minato!"
Kushina supported the wall and said weakly, "I'll... I'll seal Nine-Tails."
"What?"
"Kushina, you..."
Both the third and fourth generations were shocked, with hesitation on their faces.
Jinchuriki was stripped off Tailed Beasts, almost a certain death outcome.
If Kushina can really seal Tailed Beasts...
"In your current state, can you still activate Adamantine Sealing Chains and Eight Trigrams Seal?" Minato held Kushina in his hand and said in a deep voice.
"No, but I can use Dead Demon Consuming Seal. Maybe it will succeed. Anyway, I'm going to die now." Kushina looked tired.
The life force in the body is passing away at an accelerated rate.
"I understand." Minato nodded solemnly.
The third generation suddenly said, "Minato, Dead Demon Consuming Seal, this technique can only be used at the cost of sacrificing one's own soul. You are Fourth Hokage, you have to make a decision."
There is something profound about the third generation's voice.
Dead Demon Consuming Seal, even if Nine-Tails is successfully sealed... then what? Kushina will die, and Nine-Tails sealed in Kushina's body will also die - not the kind that dies and then resurrects, but will most likely enter an unknown world.
Konoha will lose the power of Nine-Tails forever.
Minato's expression changed, and he was silent for a moment. "I understand."
He is Fourth Hokage, and some difficult and painful choices must be made.
Just like in his original work, Kushina wants to use Adamantine Sealing Chains to drag Nine-Tails to die together. The reason is that doing so will delay Nine-Tails's resurrection, but Minato refuses. One of Minato's reasons is that doing so will make Konoha lose Nine-Tails and destroy the balance of Tailed Beasts. And he believed that Naruto was Child of Prophecy, so he resolutely launched Dead Demon Consuming Seal.
Kushina died in the end.
Minato is Hokage. If Kushina is not prevented from dragging Nine-Tails back to die together, both of them can survive, but as Hokage, he does not dare to gamble on the consequences of losing Nine-Tails.
Kushina seemed not to have heard. "Let's go, take Naruto with you..."
"Naruto... you also plan to seal Nine-Tails into Naruto's body? But Naruto has just been born and is not yet qualified to become a qualified Jinchuriki, unless..."
"Then just give half of the sealed Nine-Tails to Naruto."
Kushina interrupted Minato. Although she was so weak, her consciousness was so clear that no one knew what she was thinking.
Soon, Minato brought Kushina and Naruto to the outside of the village in an instant, looking at the two giant beasts fighting in front of them.
At this point, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Genitsu is gradually being suppressed.
"Six of the nine tails are left. It seems that they were cut off by Genitsu. In this way, the violent Nine-Tails was weakened."
Minato glanced at it and didn't think much about it.
In the past, Genitsu also did this on the battlefield, cutting off the tail of Tailed Beasts, thus temporarily weakening Tailed Beasts's combat power.
However, those dissipated tails will recover soon. In Minato's understanding, breaking up some Tailed Beast Chakra is just an emergency measure.
"Minato, I'm going to take action." Kushina sighed deeply and glanced at Naruto with nostalgia.
However, this time, she did not look at Minato.
Minato also vaguely noticed that Kushina seemed to have undergone some unspeakable changes.
However, neither of them said anything.
Because, originally there was another way to solve the problem.
That is, Minato Namikaze used Dead Demon Consuming Seal, then sealed half of Nine-Tails into his body, and stuffed the other half of Nine-Tails into Kushina.
With the vitality of the Uzumaki Clan, if Tailed Beasts can be re-sealed into the body in time, the lost life can be restored.
But the problem is...
Minato is not sure whether Kushina can survive, and he is more inclined to give half of Nine-Tails to Naruto, just because he firmly believes that Naruto is the Child of Prophecy mentioned by Great Toad Sage!
If his son can become the being that changes the entire Shinobi World, half a Nine-Tails will be of great help.
Minato looked at Kushina who kept Hand Seals. For a moment, he lost his voice. He didn't know what to say.
Is the village more important? Naruto Is this Child of Prophecy important?
Both of these things... are more valuable than Kushina and more suitable for living. Can you get the power of Nine-Tails?
This is a torture of Minato's heart and a torture of Fourth Hokage.
As for Minato, it is obvious that on a psychological level, it has given up on Kushina and is leaning towards Naruto.
"Genitsu! Find a way to control Nine-Tails's actions!" Minato shouted.
Boom!
Genitsu was slapped on the ground by Nine-Tails's paw, jumped up quickly, and knocked Nine-Tails over with a hard blow. Genitsu nodded. "I understand, although I don't know what you are going to do, but please hurry up."
Nine-Tails is simply ridiculously strong. This is the brainless Nine-Tails controlled by Mangekyō Sharingan's pupil power.
call!
Genitsu sprayed out another shot of Atomic Breath, knocking Nine-Tails over. He immediately rushed forward, fell down, and hit Nine-Tails hard, pressing him to the ground.
The long tail behind him wrapped around Nine-Tails crazily, restricting his movements.
This is an extremely difficult process.
At this time, Kushina moved. "Minato, give me your Chakra."
Minato put one hand on Kushina's shoulder and threw out Kunai with the other hand. The two followed the coordinates of Kunai and appeared in front of Nine-Tails.
The next moment, Kushina began to extract Chakra from Minato.
"In this case, it should be fine...Sealing Jutsu·Dead Demon Consuming Seal!!"
Uh-huh!
Out of nowhere, a strange existence arrived.
The body is huge, but cannot be observed by the naked eye.
Only Kushina, who was the caster, and Minato, who transmitted Chakra to Kushina, saw this legendary existence.
Reaper.
"This is Reaper..." Minato's face changed slightly.
This weird, indescribable mysterious existence, even just standing there quietly, makes people tremble instinctively.
A hand covered with strange runes slowly emerged from Kushina's belly. This was Reaper's hand.
The soul of the target caught by this hand will be swallowed by Reaper together with the soul of the caster.
At this time, Nine-Tails sensed some kind of crisis and began to struggle instinctively.
Genitsu, who was on top of it, simply opened its mouth wide and bit Nine-Tails's head fiercely. At the same time, it stared behind Kushina and Minato with wide eyes.
He couldn't see clearly Reaper's figure.
However, I can barely detect an outline...
"Is it because I swallowed Tailed Beast Chakra, a mysterious creature like Reaper... No, I'm not even sure whether it is a living thing."
Genitsu's eyes flashed with surprise and caution.
He is also very curious about this thing. There are too many secrets in Shinobi World that have not been cracked.
Judging from the performance in the original work, Reaper is more like a sealing tool that has no emotions. The souls it swallows can be released by Orochimaru, a scientific madman. It is really being played hard.
It's unclear whether Reaper has self-awareness.
Kushina said, "Minato, you know Third Hokage can also do this technique, right? Logically speaking, he is the one who has the most reason to use Dead Demon Consuming Seal."
Indeed.
Regarding this sentence, Genitsu all nodded.
Third Hokage is entering old age and his strength is gradually declining.
And Minato is not yet thirty years old and is still in the stage of growing stronger. Sage Mode, who has mastered the lineage of Mount Myōboku, is an immortal. Coupled with Flying Thunder God Technique and various Flying Thunder God derivatives, in terms of life-saving means, Shinobi World is definitely third.
In terms of cost performance, Third Hokage is the most reasonable to launch Dead Demon Consuming Seal, but the problem is... it is not possible.
"Stop talking, just do what we should do." Minato whispered.
Kushina slowly closed his eyes.
She didn't want to say anything more.
Sealing Jutsu·Dead Demon Consuming Seal!!
Uh-huh!
The strange arm stretched out from Kushina's belly, suddenly grabbed it, and grabbed it towards Nine-Tails!!
call!
This arm covered with wriggling runes seemed not to be an entity, but it could touch the material. It grabbed a piece of "meat" on the surface of Nine-Tails, and then pulled it suddenly.
Nine-Tails's entire body is being torn apart.
The Chakra all over its body seemed to have suffered a dimensionality reduction blow, and was instantly suppressed by the Reaper's arm and became silent.
Obito's illusion also failed at this moment.
The three Tomoe in Nine-Tails's eyes slowly disappeared. Its self-consciousness finally came online. After understanding what had just happened, it became extremely angry.
"Ho ho ho!! Damn Madara Uchiha, why isn't that guy dead yet?! That bastard actually used me as a psychic beast again!"
Nine-Tails The demon fox was so angry that his eyes glowed red and he struggled desperately.
However, the double suppression from Genitsu and Reaper pinned it to the ground.
Genitsu was biting the melon on Nine-Tails's head. At this time, he said calmly, "It seems that you have finally regained consciousness and know what you did after being controlled... I never thought that you would have such a tragic experience and be used by Madara Uchiha as a psychic beast?"
Nine-Tails is furious.
This is one of its dark histories.
In the entire Shinobi World, throughout the ages, only one person, Madara Uchiha, forcibly controlled it and forced it to sign the Summoning Contract.
At the beginning, Battle of the Valley of the End and Madara Uchiha controlled it and started a decisive battle with Hashirama Senju.
No need to think about it, the Spiral Mask man just now must be Madara Uchiha. Only that bastard can control it with one look, and only that bastard has its Summoning Contract!
"You are a bastard human being. You control a strange creature and you rob me of my..."
Bang!
Before Nine-Tails finished speaking, he was interrupted by Genitsu One-Tail's slap.
Fourth Hokage couldn't let Fourth Hokage know about the three-tailed Chakra being devoured by him - although according to Minato's temperament, he wouldn't pursue it if he found out, and would only give a few reminders.
"Nine-Tails, follow me to sleep together. Eternal death will be our destination."
Kushina took a breath and started dragging Nine-Tails.
"Stop, Kushina, how could I enter such a ghost place!! What happened to that Reaper... let go!"
Nine-Tails struggled, but watched helplessly as he was dragged towards Kushina little by little.
The closer Kushina and Nine-Tails were, the more uneasily they looked at Reaper, who was standing behind Kushina, drooling.
Nine-Tails also doesn't know much about Reaper. When Reaper was born, why it exists, and whether it is alive or dead, Nine-Tails doesn't know either.
"Do it!"
"Seal!"
Kushina and Minato hands-on.
The huge Reaper phantom picked up the knife and chopped it off hard.
This knife, brewing with the power to cut Yin and Yang, easily split Nine-Tails into two.
Yin Release Nine-Tails was dragged into Kushina's body.
Yang Release Nine-Tails was sealed into the body of young Naruto.
"Minato, you must protect the safety of Naruto." Kushina said this with his last strength.
But in fact, she has given up hope on Minato.
Kushina is very clear about what kind of treatment Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is. It is truly treated as a strategic weapon and closely protected.
There is no freedom, only responsibility and obligation.
Even if Naruto is the son of Fourth Hokage, I'm afraid...
"I hope that one can keep his promise. If he is really him, he will definitely..." Kushina finally murmured.
"What?"
Minato was startled and was about to ask.
However, Kushina has expired.
Reaper behind her was also drooling at this time. He couldn't wait any longer. He used his hand full of runes to pull out Kushina's soul and swallowed it in one gulp.
Reaper showed a satisfied look.
Half of the soul of Nine-Tails is sealed, which seems to be very suitable for this mysterious existence.
Immediately, Reaper's figure began to dim and gradually dissipated.
When it completely dissipated, whether it was an illusion or not, Genitsu felt that this thing glanced in his direction.
Everything is settled.
Nine-Tails disappeared, half was sent into the belly of Reaper, unable to escape, and the other half was sealed into Naruto's body.
Naruto was crying loudly, and the complicated Sealing Jutsu pattern that appeared on her belly told everything silently.
Minato carefully picked up Naruto, feeling inexplicably blocked inside.
"Kushina's last words, what do they mean, and who is that person..."
Minato With his strong IQ, he quickly thought of a certain goal.
If it wasn't Madara... would it be Xu? How could Xu make Kushina believe in him rather than leaving her husband alone...
After thinking for a while, Minato smiled bitterly.
As Fourth Hokage, he can't even care about his wife...
At this time, Genitsu's figure slowly shrank, and after returning to his human form, he sat on the ground exhausted.
So tired.
"Although senior Kushina was sacrificed, the final result was a blessing. Fourth generation, please forgive me." Genitsu said tiredly.
Minato nodded silently and hugged Naruto tightly.
"It seems that this disastrous night is finally over..."
Minato sighed.
Madara was temporarily forced back by him, and Xu seemed to have had a conversation with Kushina.
The village has gradually returned to stability.
Well, it looks like there's no problem.
Genitsu also nodded repeatedly, as if there was no problem.
At the same time, in the forest not far from Uchiha Clan Compound.
Root Ninja lay scattered on the ground.
Danzo was breathing heavily, and eight of the ten eyes on his right arm had been closed. At this time, he looked at Deva Path Pain in front of him who was still in excellent condition with a collapsed face, and was incompetent and furious:
"Damn it, why is it that even now, no one has come to support me?! Could it be possible that everyone has forgotten about me!"
