Orochimaru, the One Who Knew Sealing Jutsu

"Sealing Jutsu!"

While soaking in the hot spring, Karot sighed. If there was one type of Ninjutsu Karot feared most, it would be Sealing Jutsu. This type of Ninjutsu is like a form of manipulation, often allowing the weak to defeat the strong. Even powerful figures like Kaguya or Majin Buu can be sealed away. Karot doesn't have their vitality; he might very well die of old age if sealed away.

"How interesting, Orochimaru- senpai. I didn't even realize you had a sealing squad."

Karot should have realized that, given Orochimaru's nature, he wouldn't allow someone with such devastating power as Karot to go unchecked. The Sealing Jutsu was Orochimaru's backup plan. However, the Nine-Tails' sudden attack forced Orochimaru to expose this team.

Unfortunately, the lack of the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline Sealing Jutsu has greatly reduced its effectiveness, and it still cannot seal the Nine-Tails. The Nine-Tails seems to have realized this situation, and its body has begun to twist violently, trying to regain control of its body.

One by one, the chains began to break, and the Nine-Tails 'Chakra became increasingly violent. Just as the Nine-Tails was about to break free of the chains, an even larger chain flew down from the sky and tightly bound the Nine-Tails.

"Kushina."

Nine-Tails roared, and the unique Chakra aura of the Uzumaki Clan emanated from the chains, letting Nine-Tails know that Kushina had arrived.

As Nine-Tails predicted, Tsunade helped Kushina slowly walk out of the forest. With each step, Kushina's face seemed to grow paler. Maintaining this Sealing Jutsu was too strenuous for Kushina at this stage.

"Kushina, are you alright?"

Upon seeing his wife appear, Minato immediately abandoned his teacher Jiraiya and went to Kushina's side, transferring his Chakra into Kushina body to make her feel better.

"I'm fine, Minato."

Kushina smiled at Minato and continued walking towards the Nine-Tails. She wanted to fulfill the mission of the Uzumaki Clan by using her own body as a vessel to seal the Nine-Tails -Nine-Tails.

The Nine-Tails unleashed a massive amount of Chakra to stop Kushina's sealing attempt. The two were locked in a tug-of-war, with the Nine-Tails pulling back and Kushina desperately trying to pull itself back. Normally, Kushina could easily seal the Nine-Tails. Unfortunately, Kushina had given birth that night and suffered an attack, resulting in significant losses of Chakra and life force. She was now at a disadvantage. If it weren't for Tsunade's help, she might not even have the strength to stand.

"Orochimaru, it seems Kushina is no match for Nine-Tails. What about your squad? Get them moving too!"

Jiraiya Kushina gradually falling into a disadvantageous position, Jiraiya anxiously spoke to Orochimaru.

"That team was just a one-time production; they've now become ordinary people."

"Oh! How did it get like this?"

"Shisui, let's begin preparations!"

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

As soon as Orochimaru spoke, Shisui instantly appeared behind Orochimaru, laid out a scroll on the ground, and placed his hands on the scroll after forming a hand Hand Seals.

"Bang!"

A cloud of white mist appeared, followed immediately by Orochimaru's clone standing on the scroll.

"Orochimaru, do you want to..."

Jiraiya could finish speaking, Orochimaru began Hand Seals, and a massive chain, even thicker than Orochimaru 'Kushina, emerged from his body. Jiraiya was immediately shocked; he hadn't expected Orochimaru to be involved in Sealing Jutsu as well.

Orochimaru's current body was created using Hashirama's cells. Although it's only a semi-finished product, its former owner was Hashirama Senju, so Orochimaru is quite powerful.

Orochimaru obtained the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu only Root investigating Danzo's Danzo organization. He couldn't learn them before, but after using White Zetsu as test subjects, Orochimaru was able to train in the sealing techniques. However, each body can only be used once, after which the body will revert to an ordinary body, and he can only live as an ordinary person for the rest of his life. Therefore, Shisui summoned Orochimaru's clones, and as soon as Orochimaru used the Sealing Jutsu, he would immediately switch to another body.

"It's you again, you ant."

When Nine-Tails saw that Orochimaru had also used Sealing Jutsu, and that Kushina, Kurama was completely unable to resist. Nine-Tails had thought that this time, it would gain freedom and be able to roam freely in the Ninja World. However, it did not expect that in the current Ninja World, there was no Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha, but instead Orochimaru, a ninja who was specifically designed to counter it. It was truly an ill-fated birth!

Orochimaru dragged Nine-Tails's body toward Kushina's location. Although Nine-Tails was unwilling, things did not go according to its will.

"Lord Hokage, please wait a moment."

Just as the Nine-Tails was about to be sealed into Kushina's body, Kushina shouted.

Immediately, everyone present turned their attention to Kushina, wanting to know why she had stopped Orochimaru.

"Minato, go and bring the child over."

Given Minato's speed, it wouldn't have taken more than five seconds before he appeared next to Minato, holding a Kushina baby.

"I plan to split the Nine-Tails into two parts, sealing one part into my body and the other part into my son's body."

Everyone present looked on in disbelief. They hadn't expected Kushina to have such an idea. She was Jinchuriki, essentially using her own body as a prison, destined to live with the Tailed Beast for her entire life. The advantage, however, was a constant source of Chakra, allowing her to utilize the Tailed Beast's power in battle and increase her chances of survival. It was a trade-off, a win-win situation.

Have you two, as a couple, thought it through?

Orochimaru, as the Hokage, confirmed one last time that separating the Tailed Beast would reduce the Nine-Tails' threat. If there were another rampage, the Nine-Tails wouldn't be as strong as it is now, and it would be much easier to deal with.

After exchanging a glance, Kushina and Minato, the couple, instantly reached a tacit understanding and nodded.

Seeing their attitude, Orochimaru knew what to do. With a rapid Hand Seals, a phantom of an Orochimaru appeared behind Orochimaru. The Shinigami took its sword from its mouth and slashed directly at Nine-Tails. Nine-Tails's soul was split in two, one half returning to Kushina's body and the other half entering the infant's body.

Shisui immediately pried open the mouths of Orochimaru's clones. After releasing his Ninjutsu, Orochimaru opened his mouth wide, and a snake with the exact same face as Orochimaru emerged. It slithered into the clone's mouth, and the life force of the Orochimaru who had released the Ninjutsu was taken away by the Shinigami.

"The gears of fate continue to turn. I never expected Kushina to make such a choice. She's so willing to sacrifice herself to protect her young child!"

Tonight's drama was a real treat for Karot, and in the end Kushina's actions earned Karot's admiration. It seems that her Kushina attitude was just a facade.

After the play was over and he had taken a bath, Karot dried himself off and went to bed. He wasn't worried about the Kakuzu running away, because the Kakuzu a clever person.
