Chapter 170
"I'm sorry, Naruto..."
It was like an apology for losing his mother, and also a final statement of his preparedness to sacrifice himself.
Minato Namikaze, holding baby Naruto in his arms, vanished in an instant...
Everything is calm now, the dust has settled.
As if sensing something, Kushina's lifeless eyes began to slowly regain their focus.
Her lips murmured softly.
It's clear they're talking about children.
"Don't worry, your son is still alive."
The Akito said to her.
Just as Kushina's suppressed consciousness was about to surface.
Akito a thought, Mingren shattered the Zero-Tails on her body.
More than 90% of the fragments of the Zero-Tails, amidst a mournful shriek, transformed into nourishment for its own growth.
[Strength...43]
[44]
[45]
... and finally arrived at [47].
Most of the Zero-Tails 'Chakra was extracted, leaving only a small portion of its remains to sustain its life.
Kushina instantly lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
Akito mentioned her, he stomped on the ground with a bang, instantly rising into the air, ready to see Minato Namikaze's final performance...
That evening.
The calamity known as the "Nine-Tails' Attack" came to an end with the sacrifice of the Fourth Hokage and his wife.
With the help of high-ranking officials such as Hiruzen Sarutobi and Summoning such as the Toad of Mount Myōboku.
The Nine-Tails was temporarily restrained.
Minato Namikaze used the Reaper Death Seal half of the Nine-Tails into his own body.
The other half of the Nine-Tails was sealed inside young Naruto.
When Akito returned to Amegakure.
Master Shinnō has disappeared.
Along with several female ninjas from the Amegakure medical team who had always admired him, they also disappeared without a trace...
Akito knew that Land of Sky was about to return.
The long-dormant "Sky Fortress Ancor Vantian" will also resurface.
Master and apprentice.
Despair and hope.
The battle between Dark Chakra and Dark Chakra is about to begin...
101. Obito, your goddess is in my hands.
Amegakure.
The morning air was as damp as ever, and the pattering rain outside gave Akito a sense of peace.
Asuka had already instructed her men to properly place the coffin that Ibuse had spat out.
Her gaze kept glancing at the red-haired female ninja from Konoha who was lying on the ground.
Pakura, who was a bit impatient, asked first, "You... brought Minato Namikaze's wife here?"
Her tone shifted from pride to shock, and then to disbelief.
It was noticeable that Akito's attitude had also undergone a 180-degree change.
Snatching Uzumaki Kushina from the Yellow Flash was no easy feat.
"Hmm. The Nine-Tails' Attack in Konoha, Minato Namikaze's wife is the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki..."
The Akito nodded slightly and casually recounted what had happened the previous night.
The fact that Uzumaki Kushina was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was a top secret in Konoha.
How high is it?
Even Jiraiya, one of the Minato Namikaze and Sannin's master, was unaware of this.
In the original manga.
When Jiraiya infiltrated Amegakure, he gave the key to the Eight Trigrams Seal to the Key Toad.
This can be learned from the conversation between the man and the Toad.
Jiraiya always believed that the Nine-Tails' Attack was a natural disaster, a calamity caused by the accumulation of negative emotions in the human world to a certain degree.
It is clear that the Konoha High Command had kept almost everyone in the dark.
Other examples also corroborate this.
For example... Sakura, as the top student among the 12 Konoha 12, is an intellectual who completed the written part of the Chunin Ninja Exams on her own.
They didn't even know anything about Tailed Beast.
Later, he became Tsunade's disciple and, in order to investigate Sasuke's affairs, secretly sneaked into Tsunade's office.
I only learned about the existence of the Nine Tailed Beasts in the ninja world from classified documents.
Visible.
How terrifying is the distortion of textbooks and history within Konoha?
The policy of keeping the people ignorant has been implemented to the extreme.
But after all, this is a traditional skill of Konoha, so it's quite reasonable to be a bit darker.
"This woman is actually the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki... No wonder..."
Pakura nodded slightly, belatedly realizing what was happening.
Jinchūriki) must be connected to the village chief.
They are either relatives and friends, or spouses and lovers.
This is a tacitly accepted rule among the various ninja villages.
Minato Namikaze's master was Jiraiya, and his grandmaster was the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.
In addition, his wife is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
That explains everything.
In the end, it all boils down to various theories of bloodline and nepotism.
"So, the Fourth Hokage... really is dead..."
The Asuka suppressed its emotions and murmured something.
Minato Namikaze and Uzumaki Kushina were powerful accomplices in the ambush of Hanzō.
Now there is one dead and one injured.
The Akito had promised to avenge Hanzō.
Now, most of the promises have been fulfilled.
"The Nine-Tails has been extracted from her body; it was done by members of Akatsuki."
Akito then recounted Obito Uchiha's story.
Of course, Obito Uchiha's identity was not directly revealed.
After all, the game between him and himself was not over yet.
Obito Uchiha will definitely pay another visit in person later.
I have learned the cause and effect of the matter.
Everyone present fell silent for a moment.
The rain drizzled down on the ground.
After a long silence, Chuan asked, "Lord Akito, what do you intend to do with this woman?"
As the strength of the Akito continued to rise.
Last night, they confronted the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
The way people looked at him grew increasingly awe-inspiring.
In their minds, Akito had clearly become Demigod second only to them... a master of the Hanzo of the Salamander.
Thus, even though Hanzō remained unconscious.
Amegakure will also remain unharmed.
"I am conducting a long-term forbidden technique experiment, Uzumaki Kushina is a perfect experimental subject."
The Akito were straightforward and open.
This implies that the enemy will be used as experimental material for forbidden techniques.
"..."
Pakura and the others nodded slightly, completely accepting the idea.
Because... research on the human body, forbidden techniques, secret techniques, and drugs is extremely common in the ninja world.
"Furthermore, Uzumaki Kushina, as Uzumaki Clan, possesses a large number of 'Sealing Jutsu.' When the time is right, I will extract various information about Sealing Jutsu from her. At that time, the overall level of Sealing Jutsu in Amegakure will reach a new level, and it will be within reach to rival Konoha..."
Killing Uzumaki Kushina directly would be too lenient on her.
He not only intends to use her as a "Dark Weapon".
We also need to obtain all the information about Sealing Jutsu.
Kushina now... is a treasure trove of Sealing Jutsu!
"Will she speak?" Chuan asked, somewhat doubtful.
The two sides had a deep-seated grudge, and now Minato Namikaze is dead.
Would this woman agree to reveal the secret of the Sealing Jutsu?
"She will..."
The Akito's tone instantly turned as cold as ice.
Lady Kushina... you don't want your son, Naruto Uzumaki...
Soon, the Akito summoned Guren.
After instructing her to throw Kushina into the life support container in the Black Prison.
Everyone looked at the coffin on the ground.
"Whose coffin is this? What's its purpose?" Pakura asked again.
She knew that Akito wouldn't do anything meaningless.
"You know Kakashi Hatake, Minato Namikaze's disciple with the Sharingan, right?"
The Akito then revealed Kakashi's name.
Everyone knows about the prodigy who has risen to fame in the ninja world in the past two years, the son of White Fang.
During the Chunin Ninja Exams, Pakura even met Kakashi in person.
