The Masked Man's Attack!

Inside the delivery room, a red-haired woman gripped the handrail tightly, sweat dripping down her face.

She opened her eyes, tears streaming down her face from the pain.

Wow! Wow!

However, the cries of babies pulled her from pain to joy.

Standing in the direction of Kushina's head was a person with golden hair. After hearing the baby's cry, he stared in disbelief and said, "It's born."

The blond man was none other than the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki.

Their child had the same blond hair as his father, and three whiskers on each side of his face.

Overjoyed, Minato wiped his tears with his arm and said, "From today onwards, I'm going to be a father!"

"He's a very energetic boy!" Biwako Sarutobi picked up the child and walked straight past the excited Minato, going first to Kushina.

"Naruto, I've finally met you, "Kushina said.

"Alright, now relax a bit." Then Biwako Sarutobi and medical staff member Taji carried Naruto outside.

"Kushina? Are you alright? Thank you. "Minato Namikaze also didn't know how to express his feelings.

"Minato. Kushina said."

"Alright, even though you've had a tough time after giving birth, I need to make the Nine-Tails completely behave." Minato Namikaze then placed his hand on Kushina's stomach, preparing to use Seal Technique to reinforce the seal on the Nine-Tails.

However, at that moment, a scream suddenly rang out.

"Lord Biwako! Taji!" Minato Namikaze exclaimed in surprise as the two men collapsed to the ground.

A man wearing a cloak and a mask had already snatched Naruto into his arms, his left hand feigning as if to kill Naruto.

"Fourth Hokage, leave the Jinchuriki's side, otherwise this child will only have one minute left to live."

"How exactly did he get through this barrier? Who is this guy? The Fourth Kazekage is also holding back for now."

Because the seal wasn't reinforced in time, the Nine-Tails' seal began to weaken, causing Kushina to cry out in pain.

"Get away from the Jinchuriki right now! Don't you care what will happen to the child?" the Masked Man threatened again, this time holding Kunai to Naruto's neck.

"Wait! Calm down!" Minato was also a little flustered. On one side was the Nine-Tails, and on the other side was his own child. Minato couldn't help but panic.

"You should be saying this to yourself, Minato. I am perfectly calm right now!" The Masked Man then threw Naruto into the air.

"Naruto!" Kushina called out worriedly.

Immediately afterwards, the Masked Man jumped up, attempting to pierce Naruto with the Kunai in his hand.

However, Minato snatched Naruto away in a flash.

"As expected of the Yellow Flash, but what will you do next!?" The Masked Man gathered chakra in his right hand, and the Explosive Tag on the red blanket wrapped around Naruto began to burn.

"Minato! Naruto!" Kushina shouted loudly.

Minato Namikaze reacted quickly, immediately throwing away the blanket covered in Explosive Tag, and then carrying Naruto as they fled the house.

"Thank goodness, Naruto isn't hurt."

"I was forced to use the Flying Thunder God Technique. He's after Kushina. I've been lured away from my post. I need to get back quickly." Minato Namikaze then prepared to return immediately.

The Masked Man Minato Namikaze away and immediately captured Kushina in a quiet place.

Kushina, trapped by the Cursed Seal, asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Drag the Nine-Tails out of your body and destroy Konoha," the Masked Man said.

"What did you say!?" Kushina asked in surprise.

"Instantly moving from one space marked with a jutsu seal to another—that's Minato's Body Flicker Technique. That mark seems to be drawn in your sealing jutsu as well. Normally, Minato is there to protect you, but now Minato's been lured away, and because of childbirth, the Nine-Tails' seal has been weakened. I've been waiting for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a long time."

As the Masked Man spoke, he revealed his Three Tomoe Sharingan.

Soon, the Masked Man entered Kushina's sealed space and directly used his Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails. The Nine-Tails then went berserk and smashed all the seals within the sealed space.

"Alright! Come out, Nine-Tails!" Immediately afterwards, Nine-Tails emerged from Kushina's stomach.

"Awooo!" the Nine-Tailed Fox roared, having completely lost its mind.

"Very well! Let's head towards Konoha!" The Masked Man then turned and left.

"Stop!" Kushina said, struggling to her feet.

"The Uzumaki Clan is really powerful! Even after their Tailed Beast are removed, they don't die immediately. Since you are the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki, I'll have this guy kill you." The Nine-Tails then struck down with a palm.

"Bang!" The Nine-Tails smashed a large hole in the ground.

At that moment, Minato used a Body Flicker Technique to rescue Kushina.

"Indeed, it lives up to the name of Flash, but it's too late." The Masked Man had achieved his goal.

"Naruto... Is Naruto alright?" Kushina asked.

"Yes, it's alright, he's safe now," Minato reassured him.

"That's good! Minato, you have to stop that man and the Nine-Tails right now. They're planning to raze Konoha to the ground, "Kushina said.

Minato then carried Kushina and used the Flying Thunder God to teleport to the safe place where Naruto was, placing Kushina next to Naruto.

"Stay by Naruto's side," Minato said.

"Minato, thank you. Take care on your journey!" Kushina said.

Minato immediately changed into the Fourth Hokage's robes and said, "I'll be right back!"

At this moment, Shiyu finally sensed Kushina's chakra, since Shiyu couldn't directly use the Flying Thunder God to travel through the area due to Konoha's barrier.

"Whoosh!" Shiyu sensed the Flying Thunder God Formula and immediately appeared beside Kushina.

"You... you're Kushina exclaimed in surprise.

Shiyu then reverted to his original appearance and said, "Kushina, don't be afraid, it's me. I'm here to protect you and Naruto."

"Are you really... Teacher Shiyu?"

"What Minato and Kushina wanted to say, Shiyu naturally already knew."

"I know everything. Someone extracted the Nine-Tails from your body and planned to use it to attack Konoha. Minato has already gone there to stop the Nine-Tails, but because the Tailed Beast was forcibly extracted, your life force is rapidly draining away."

"I'm here to save you." Shiyu then placed his hand on Kushina's heart and injected Yang Release Chakra into it, gradually activating Kushina's life force.

"Summoning Technique!" Shiyu then summoned Katsuyu and began to heal Kushina using Katsuyu.

"Are you feeling any better?" Shiyu asked.

"Thank you Teacher Shiyu! I'm feeling much better Lord Shiyu, could you please help Minato?" Kushina asked.
