Nine-Tails Night

Kushina let out an almost despairing wail! But Minato reacted with incredible speed!

In an instant, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to take Naruto out of the secret room. Then he tore off the swaddling cloth and threw it into the wooden house behind him.

Almost the very next second, the wooden house was blasted to pieces by the Exploding Tags.

He forced me to use the Flying Thunder God Technique. He was after Kushina—I was lured away... I have to get back quickly!

Kushina had already been bound above a pool of water by the mysterious masked man.

Knowing that her son was safe, Kushina felt considerably relieved.

As for her own safety, she did not take it to heart.

"What do you want?"

The masked man said nothing. Instead, he directly activated his Sharingan. The Sharingan resonated with the Nine-Tails inside Kushina and immediately took control of it.

"Come out! Nine-Tails!"

Bright crimson Nine-Tails Chakra wrapped around Kushina's entire body, and the enormous Nine-Tailed Fox was torn from within her!

A Jinchuriki who lost their Tailed Beast should have reached the end of their life. Kushina's eyes had already lost their focus, black curse-mark fluid continuously ran from her abdomen, and blood kept spilling from her mouth.

Afterward, the masked man left and returned to the streets of Konoha.

Torikaze watched him the entire time. Everything had unfolded beneath Torikaze's gaze.

"Sure enough, I should have gone back and killed Obito."

Torikaze said calmly, stroking his chin.

He truly did not know what meaning there was in leaving someone like that in the world—someone capable of doing something so vicious to the Shishou and shishou's wife who had taught him.

Still, he was only joking. The Minato in his own world was fairly sensible, after all.
