With Kushina and Minato working together, the Nine-Tails could not move at all. Naruto immediately created over a hundred Shadow Clones, and together they shouted in rhythm as they slowly dragged the Nine-Tails' chakra out of its body.

In an instant, a brilliant golden light enveloped Naruto's entire body.
Naruto froze. "This is...!?"
Not only Naruto, but even Kushina, the former Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and Minato, the Fourth Hokage, were utterly shocked at
