"Although we're far from the village, it's a secret, so even if you experience contractions, don't scream too loudly."
This is what Biwako told Kushina on the way.
But the result was--
"It hurts so much!!!"
Even from outside the cave, Kazashiro and the others could clearly hear Kushina's screams.
Hearing the sound echoing through the forest, Kazashiro instinctively reached for the hilt of his Ninja Blade.
"This is the first time I've ever heard Kushina scream in pain so loudly."
Obito shrank back, somewhat curious about what had happened inside.
"That's something I've never seen before."
Looking back towards the cave entrance, Kazashiro, who was perched in the tree, had never seen anything like it before.
Inside the cave, Minato, who was in charge of maintaining the seal, also looked worried. "Um, this is the first time I've ever seen Kushina scream in pain so loudly. Are you sure she's okay?"
"It's alright, your primary task is to safeguard the Nine-Tails' seal!"
Busy with her tasks, Biwako signaled to Minato not to panic.
At this moment, the Fuinjutsu on Kushina's abdomen is constantly changing.
Minato could clearly sense that the Nine-Tails sealed within Kushina was desperately trying to break free of its seal.
"Naruto, come out quickly! Forget about the Nine-Tails!"
As Kushina's screams grew more intense, Minato felt his heart breaking. If he could, he would want to take Kushina's pain upon himself.
"Who are you?!"
Outside the cave, an Anbu suddenly jumped out, pointing his Ninja Blade at the figure in front of him.
The person didn't speak, but simply walked straight ahead.
"It's you..."
The Anbu put down his Ninja Blade, about to say something, when he suddenly stopped, his grip on the Ninja Blade loosened, and he fell backward.
"Enemy attack!"
Having witnessed everything from the tree, Kazashiro hurriedly jumped down and threw Flying Thunder God Kunai in the direction of the other party.
"Hmph, the Flying Thunder God Technique? I won't let you use it so easily."
Having Sharingan Kunai, the newcomer spoke calmly, and immediately Kazashiro's vision was reversed.
It's like when someone suddenly changes your key bindings while you're playing a game.
The enemy, who should have been standing on the ground, was now floating in the sky in Feng Byakugan, with his upper and lower body misaligned, looking exactly like a 2.5-inch Satoru.
"Illusion Technique?!"
It wasn't just Kazashiro who was affected; even Obito, who was perched in a tree and didn't immediately intervene, fell from the tree due to the distorted view.
Needless to say, the other Anbu responsible for protecting the barrier were all lying on the ground, unable to move freely.
Yaowan casually picked up the Ninja Blade that the Anbu behind and gently plunged it into the back of the other man's neck.
As the sound of swords piercing flesh rang out, this Anbu was sent to see the Sage of Six Paths.
"Damn it, undo!"
Kazashiro formed hand seals as instructed by Danzo, attempting to dispel the Illusion Technique, but to no avail.
Seeing that the other party was gradually approaching him, Kazashiro had no choice but to Flying Thunder God Technique to move to the location where the Flying Thunder God Kunai landed.
"So that's how it feels! You're the one who attacked Nagato and gouged out his eyes!"
A familiar feeling washed over him, Obito belatedly recognized the other person's identity.
"Huh? Nagato's eyes were gouged out, why didn't you ever tell me?!"
Kazashiro was also hearing about this for the first time, and hurriedly glared at Obito to question him. Unfortunately, he had not escaped the range of the Yaowan Dojutsu, and at this moment he did not know where the real Obito was.
"Noisy."
Unable to Obito Obito's incessant chatter, Yaowan walked up to him and stabbed him with his sword.
Strange, why does it feel a bit off?
The blade pierced through without any resistance, as if it had struck thin air.
"We succeeded!"
Obito suddenly sprang to his feet, relying on his instincts, and threw a punch.
Yaowan didn't even try to dodge; he simply stood there and watched Obito perform.
Then, unsurprisingly, due to his limited vision, Obito threw a punch behind him and fell flat on his face again.
But it was in that instant that Yaowan noticed the other person's eyes.
"So it's the Mangekyō Sharingan. I see, it's Dojutsu that can ignore enemy attacks."
Who would have thought that someone who was once the worst student could awaken these eyes? War, what exactly has war brought to ninjas?
Not wanting to waste her energy on Obito, Yaowan decided to skip him altogether.
After quickly eliminating the remaining Anbu, Yaowan was about to storm into the place where Kushina was being produced.
"Don't even think about it, Summoning Technique!"
Obito's mind raced, and he finally came up with a way to break the Yaowan Dojutsu.
Since my vision is obstructed, I'll summon a spirit beast to fight!
As the smoke cleared, a Toad with an arm armor appeared in front of Obito.
"Iron-walled Toad, I'm counting on you!"
Looking at the Toad he had summoned, Obito was very excited. Just as he pointed to the location of Yaowan that he saw, he heard the sound of armor clashing, and the Iron Wall Toad that he had summoned fell to the ground upside down.
"You idiot Obito, even the Toad got caught!"
Kazashiro, who stood up by leaning against a tree, knew what had happened over there without even looking. Fortunately, his hand seals were not affected, and he could use Ninjutsu without any problem.
"Ice Release: Hyoga..."
"Are you really going to use Ninjutsu, Shimura Kazashiro? Aren't you afraid of accidentally hurting your comrades?"
Yaowan made no attempt to avoid it, because Kazashiro's gaze was directed at a location that was not where he was.
Upon hearing the other party's words, Kazashiro stopped forming hand seals.
Obito's safety is not a major concern, because thanks to Kamui, Kazashiro can confidently unleash his most proficient wide-range Ninjutsu.
He stopped because he had come up with a better solution.
"Then, I'll accept the Jinchuriki." Yaowan, who thought Kazashiro had given up completely, turned to look at the cave.
"In that case, use immortal techniques!"
I clapped my hands, and decided I didn't care about anyone.
Patterns spread across his face, forming bizarre designs.
"Immortal Technique: Ice Release - Ice Dissipation Cloud Scatter Great Burial Array!"
"What?!"
Feeling his ankle being grabbed, Yaowan instinctively looked down.
A crystalline bone hand gripped his ankle tightly, and a skeleton clad in samurai armor slowly crawled out of the ice.
"The characteristic of the Shikkotsu Forest Senjutsu is that they imbue these creatures with life force. Although they are essentially man-made entities without reason, they can hunt down enemies based on instinct."
Kazashiro revealed a sly smile and began to explain to the other party.
"Just playing petty tricks."
Looking at the other person's smile, Yaowan seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, and her legs suddenly clamped together.
"An attack of this magnitude can't do anything to me!"
"Is that so? But I can do it! Hatake Style: Lightning Strike!"
Kakashi, who had been lurking in the shadows, suddenly appeared behind Yaowan and, taking advantage of the moment when Yaowan was bound by the skeleton, thrust his sword straight through his chest.
"Impossible! Why weren't you affected by the Dojutsu?!"
Yaowan forced himself to turn his head with difficulty, enduring the pain, and happened to meet Kakashi's emotionless eyes.
