Kushina's Terror (2)

As soon as Nagato finished speaking, his body floated up from the mountaintop and flew towards the Uzumaki Clan grounds.

"In such an eye-catching way?" Obito thought to himself, then activated Kamui.

The space around him suddenly appeared with ripple-like patterns, and his figure disappeared into the space.

At this moment, Chunin the registration desk at the main gate of the Uzumaki Clan grounds, two Chunin of the Uzumaki Clan stood tall and straight, looking ahead with solemn expressions. As the Uzumaki Clan grew stronger, many forces came to exchange and trade. Although their task was only to guard the gate, they still performed their duties very seriously and conscientiously, taking pride in being Uzumaki ninjas.

"Huh? That's..." The Uzumaki ninja on guard duty suddenly exclaimed in confusion.

"What's wrong?"

A companion standing nearby asked instinctively.

"Look up there, am I seeing things because I didn't sleep well? Are there people in the sky?"

Following his companion's direction, the Uzumaki ninja looked up at the sky. The blinding sunlight made it hard for him to open his eyes, but he was startled when he noticed the dark shadow blocking the light falling.

"Someone's there!"

"A ninja with the ability to fly?! It seems like only the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, Ōnoki, is there? No! Then who is it?"

It was only when the dark figure continued to descend and its shape became clearer in sight that one realized something was wrong based on its size.

At this moment, Nagato landed less than ten meters directly above the gate of the Uzumaki Clan grounds, allowing him to look down from a high vantage point while also ensuring that those below could hear his voice.

"Summon Kushina Uzumaki to come out and see me," Nagato's indifferent voice rang out.

Although Nagato said he didn't want to use force, his posture didn't seem like he was there to communicate.

As his control over the Rinnegan's power increased, his ego naturally swelled. He no longer regarded the Demigod he once looked up to, because he himself was a god!

If Madara hadn't brought him to the Amegakure Uzumaki Clan, Nagato would have had to deal with Hanzō of the Salamander of the Salamander from Amegakure first.

Nagato came simply because the Uzumaki Clan and Konoha were only superficially allied, and could be won over to avoid causing trouble for Konoha in the future.

As for which method to use, that depends on Nagato's mood.

All courtesy and cooperation must be based on strength. This is a lesson that Nagato deeply learned after Hanzo's betrayal. They admired and trusted Hanzo so much, yet he was still discarded like trash.

Although he came to seek cooperation with Kushina, in Nagato's heart, the Akatsuki was still the priority, and the Uzumaki Clan was just a participant.

Moreover, we must first see if Kushina's strength has improved over the years since she mastered the power of the Kurama.

The strength of Hanzo and the Third Raikage alone is no longer enough to make Nagato take notice.

"Who are you!? Do you think you can just see Lord Kushina whenever you want?" the Uzumaki ninja questioned in a deep voice. The ninja in front of him had the ability to fly, which made him look very powerful. Even though there was a huge difference in strength between them and the other party, the two of them represented the face of the Uzumaki Clan. They could not back down just because the other party was strong, especially since the other party looked like he had come with ill intentions.

"If you are a friend of the Uzumaki Clan, please come down and talk. Even if you are Five Kage of the Era, you must enter according to etiquette when you come to our Uzumaki Clan," another Uzumaki ninja added, then exchanged a glance with his companion.

"Enough with the nonsense." Nagato looked down, his pupils slightly constricted, and an invisible force surged downwards from him.

Boom!

The powerful Repulsive Force shattered the sentry post where the two Uzumaki ninjas were standing guard, and the violent airflow carried both of them away.

"Ah!"

"Quickly notify the others!"

The two rolled on the ground like gourds for more than ten meters, suffering serious injuries, but still managed to release the signal flare despite the excruciating pain.

Call out!

A red signal burst open in the sky directly above the Uzumaki Clan grounds.

"A signal? That saves a lot of trouble." Nagato glanced at the sky above and slowly landed on the ground.

In fact, the sound of the explosion at the sentry post had already attracted the attention of the patrolling ninjas, who rushed over immediately. In addition, the flare exploded in the center, and the Uzumaki Clan's emergency warning mechanism was immediately activated.

At that moment, Kushina was working on documents in her office in the central building of the Uzumaki Clan grounds when the signal flare exploded with a very noticeable sound.

"Huh? What's this?" Hearing the sound, Kushina put down her pen, went to the window, and looked out. The obvious red marker in the sky made her pause in surprise. "Enemy attack?!"

Someone actually attacked the Uzumaki Clan grounds?

Kushina closed her eyes, activated Mind's Eye of the Kagura, and fully opened her senses. Soon she discovered a powerful Chakra reaction at the entrance to the Uzumaki Clan grounds.

"Such powerful Chakra!"

Kushina's expression turned serious. She immediately contacted Chakra, who was training in the East Sea Kurama: [Kurama, come back quickly! Enemies have invaded!]

"What? There's a fight?!" Kurama's surprised voice came through his Chakra.

"The enemy is very strong, don't be careless," Kushina added.

Kurama: [Understood!]

At this moment, the Kurama- Tails, who was overseas, immediately rushed towards the Uzumaki Clan grounds.

Most of the Kurama 'Chakra Sealing Space in Kushina's lower abdomen, but the Kurama ' main consciousness is in a small portion of Chakra that is separated from its body. This portion of Chakra is the Chakra that Kushina controls most perfectly.

To be precise, Kushina can control the Kurama ' Chakra, but for a perfect match, the cooperation of the Kurama ' own consciousness is required.

A distance of several dozen miles is a long way for an ordinary person, which may take half a day to walk, and even for a ninja it would take several tens of minutes, but for the Kurama it would only be a matter of a few minutes.

Because Tailed Beast don't experience fatigue; as long as they have enough Chakra, they can maintain full-speed bursts of power.

"Someone come here!" Kushina arrived at the office door.

"Lord Kushina!"

The ninjas quickly approached Kushina, knelt on one knee, and awaited orders.

"Immediately lead the people to the underground air-raid shelters for safety. I'm going to deal with the enemy. We don't need any support. You just need to protect the people," Kushina gave a brief order.

The underground air-raid shelter was built under Shiraha's supervision. The overall structure is stable, reinforced with reinforced concrete, and equipped with a reinforced barrier. As long as it is not hit head-on by Tailed Beast Ball, it can withstand the frontal attack of an S-Rank Ninjutsu. It was built specifically to prevent unexpected situations, since ordinary people are very easily affected by battles between top-tier experts.

The enemy this time is extremely powerful. Not only are ordinary people a threat, but even these ninjas will become a burden. Therefore Kushina gave the order directly.

"Yes!" Although the crowd was unwilling, they still accepted the order. There was nothing they could do; they were simply not strong enough!

Seeing this, Kushina stepped onto the windowsill and jumped down, landing on the roof of the opposite building. Then, in a few flashes, she quickly headed towards the entrance of the Uzumaki Clan grounds's territory.

At the entrance to the Uzumaki Clan grounds, the patrolling ninjas discovered the intruders and wounded the gatekeepers. They immediately surrounded Nagato.

"Stop! Don't go any further!"

"Stop him!"

Seeing that their warnings to Nagato were ineffective, the patrolling ninjas quickly launched an attack on Nagato.

Whoosh whoosh!

Kunai, shuriken, and other ninja tools were all thrown at Nagato.

At the same time, everyone worked closely together and used Ninjutsu simultaneously.

' Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!'

' Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!'

Although it's not a high-level Ninjutsu, its combined power should not be underestimated.

Despite the ninja tools and raging Great Fireball hurtling towards him, Nagato remained calm, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

Sizzle

' Shinra Tensei!'

All the attacks, when they were less than 20 centimeters from Nagato's face, seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall, and all came to an instantaneous halt.

Immediately following, under the influence of a powerful Repulsive Force, the raging Great Fireball instantly dissipated, and the Kunai, shuriken, and other physical ninja tools were all bounced back.

"What's going on?!"

"Get out of the way!"

"Ah!"

The Uzumaki ninjas were shocked. The scene before them was beyond their comprehension. The ninja tools they had just thrown had returned to their original positions, and the Ninjutsu had vanished. Even more unbelievable was that the enemy in front of them hadn't even made any Hand Seals or defensive movements. He just stood there and neutralized all their attacks.

Some ninjas who reacted a little slower were injured by the ninja tools they threw themselves.

Boom--!

Just as they were wondering what was going on, an even stronger Repulsive Force appeared, blowing them directly away.

"Ah!"

Seeing the wailing ninjas on the ground, Nagato did not continue his attack. Instead, he looked at the red figure moving rapidly on the rooftop in the distance. In a daze, he seemed to see a terrifying beast.

"Such powerful Chakra! Is this the Kurama?"

Although he wasn't Sensor Ninja, the Rinnegan possessed some sensory abilities. The Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki Chakra Nagato to feel a pang of fear, but he quickly calmed down. Having tasted pain, he had become a god.

In the distance, Kushina noticed the Uzumaki ninjas scattered and falling to the ground under Nagato's attack, and immediately shouted, "Stop!"

At the same time, a stream of orange-red Chakra flowed from the seal on Kushina's lower abdomen, quickly enveloping her entire body.

Because it lacks the purification of the Kurama' original consciousness, simply using the Kurama 'Chakra doesn't produce a pure orange color; instead, Chakra's reddish and carries a violent aura.

However, given Kushina's current Chakra control abilities, this impact is negligible for her.

In an instant, the Chakra on Kushina's body transformed into a golden coat, adhering to her body like skin, dyeing her entire body gold, turning her into a little golden statue.

Nine-Tails Chakra Mode!

Kushina flashed forward and stood between Nagato and the Uzumaki ninja, glaring at him with murderous intent.

"I am." Nagato glanced at Kushina, about to speak.

Call out!

"Take this punch!" Kushina threw a punch with a terrifying sonic boom, aiming straight for Nagato's face.

Wow, so fast!

A flicker of emotion crossed Nagato's eyes. The Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki's speed was as fast as Space-Time Ninjutsu, but he had been warned in advance and instantly activated ' Shinra Tensei '.

A powerful Repulsive Force emanated from Nagato and spread outwards towards Kushina.

Buzz!

"Hateful!"

Kushina felt a tremendous force coming from her, and immediately increased her strength. In an instant, her fist stopped in front of Nagato, and they were locked in a stalemate. It was as if the space around them was making a sound due to the intense friction.

"What?!" Nagato also felt a terrifying force transmitted to his body through the Repulsive Force of Shinra Tensei. He never expected that the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki could withstand the power of the Rinnegan Deva Path with brute force. This was something that humans could actually do.

Seeing this, Nagato narrowed his eyes and immediately intensified the Repulsive Force of Shinra Tensei.

Click!

Centered on Nagato and Kushina, the ground around them shattered inch by inch, and the earth trembled. Feeling the suddenly amplified repulsive Repulsive Force, Kushina wanted to unleash her power again, but after glancing at the Uzumaki ninja lying on the ground out of the corner of her eye, she immediately withdrew her power.

Boom!

Kushina was blasted away by the immense Repulsive Force.

Before she flew away, she had already separated some of the Nine-Tails Chakra and covered the injured Uzumaki ninjas with it to prevent them from being further injured by the Repulsive Force force.

Boom!

Kushina's body crashed into a house dozens of meters away, creating a large hole in the wall, and then the entire house collapsed with a roar.

Fortunately, the nearby residents had already been evacuated at the first sign of the enemy attack, preventing any casualties.

Whoosh!

Kushina casually pushed aside the hundreds-of-pounds-heavy rubble of broken wall, and in a flash, she moved unharmed from the ruins back to stand before Nagato, glaring angrily:

"Who are you? Why did you attack us? You're not leaving here today without a proper reason!"

For Kushina, who once wandered the streets after her country was destroyed, the current Uzumaki clansmen are all her family, and she will not allow anyone to harm them.

"The Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki is truly an impatient person," Nagato said calmly. "I'm here to negotiate with you."

"Is resorting to violence your way of negotiating?!" Kushina clenched her fists. If it weren't for the injured person next to her, she wouldn't have said a word.

Nagato: "Only by experiencing the same pain can we understand each other. Besides, I didn't kill them."

"It seems you're just here to cause trouble!" Kushina's face darkened, and her Chakra rapidly increased.

"Cooperating with our Akatsuki is the only option for the Uzumaki Clan," Nagato warned, sensing the surging Chakra emanating from Kushina.

"The Akatsuki?" Kushina was startled. She knew about the Akatsuki from Shiraha, but she didn't expect them to come knocking on her Shiraha Akatsuki out. "Even if we want to cooperate, the Uzumaki Clan won't accept you coming here in this way."

"It seems we can't communicate." Nagato frowned slightly.

"If you really wanted to communicate, you wouldn't have come while Shiraha wasn't here," Kushina retorted.

Nagato fell silent. He was confident in a one-on-one situation, but with one more person, it would be more troublesome. Although he was confident, he was not stupid.

At this moment, the ninjas from Whirlpool Hospital arrived. Nonō and Nohara Rin, along with the Medical Ninja, carried stretchers and carefully placed the injured ninjas onto them.

Obito, who was hiding not far away, watched Rin's efficient movements and couldn't help but widen his eyes. Chunin want to show up and meet Rin immediately, but the scene was not suitable.

"If you want to fight, I'm ready. But we can't fight freely here. If you have the guts, come with me!"

Kushina glanced at the ninjas behind her, then deliberately provoked them.

"I never intended to make a move here, after all, the Uzumaki Clan still has value in cooperation," Nagato said calmly, his body rapidly rising into the sky under the force of Repulsive Force.

Upon seeing this, Kushina immediately ran towards the valley far outside the clan's territory.

"Kushina- sensei!"

Nohara Rin couldn't help but call out, wanting to chase after him.

"Don't follow me!" Kushina said in a deep voice, then quickly accelerated and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Even Kushina had to take this enemy seriously. If we go up there, we'll only be a hindrance." Nonō said with a serious expression, "Rin, send the wounded back for treatment first. I'll go and find a way to notify Lord Shiraha."

Nonō communicates with Kabuto via Shiraha's Communication Snake. Although Nonō doesn't know if the Communication Snake can directly contact Shiraha, it can definitely contact Kabuto. Shiraha is currently in Konoha with Kimimaro and Haku participating in the Chunin Selection Exam, and Kabuto can notify him immediately.

The problem now is that even if Shiraha returns immediately after learning the news, it will take him half a day to cross half of the Land of Fire to get back here, and by then the battle will probably be over.

However, based on the trust that Shiraha and Kushina had in each other, Nonō had more confidence in Kushina's abilities.

'Notify them first.' With that thought, Nonō quickly directed the Medical Ninja to send the injured back to the hospital.

Although Nohara Rin was very worried about Kushina's safety, she still obediently followed.

Obito saw that Rin didn't intend to join the battle, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had given up hope in the damned reality, when he discovered that Lin was still alive, the world seemed to see a glimmer of light through the darkness, and he still subconsciously cared about Lin.

Obito's goal was to meet Rin in the peaceful world of his dreams, but seeing Rin again in this chaotic Shinobi World was also an unexpected joy for Obito.

"At least, let's see Lin first."

Obito murmured softly, his figure gradually disappearing into the space.

He wanted to first see what level Kushina's strength had reached, and at the same time, to see how Nagato had mastered the Rinnegan.

Because of the variable of Kodama, Nagato's level of trust in him was not actually very high. It took him a lot of effort to persuade Nagato to come to the Uzumaki Clan this time, especially since it was even more difficult to keep it a secret from Kodama and Zetsu at the same time.

To the north of the Uzumaki Clan grounds lies a valley.

Outside the valley, a golden figure sped through the forest; it was Kushina Nagato of the clan's territory.

In the sky, Nagato flew using the power of the Deva Path, closely following Kushina.

Meanwhile, on the east side of the valley, a small, orange-red Mini Nine-Tails Fox arrived.

With a Kurama, Kushina, who was using the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.

At this moment, the golden Chakra on Kushina's body underwent some changes, and some Tomoe- like patterns and mysterious designs suddenly appeared on it.

"This is..." Nagato's calm expression finally changed, Kushina's Chakra had become even more terrifying than before.

His figure slowly descended into the valley, Kushina stopped in front of him.

"This is... the Rinnegan?!" Kurama's incredulous voice echoed in Kushina's mind.

"Rinnegan? The Rinnegan, the strongest of the three Dōjutsu? Isn't that the Dōjutsu of the Sage of Six Paths?" Kushina asked in confusion.

Kurama nodded. "The old man passed on his power before he died, so it's impossible for anyone else to awaken the Rinnegan. Anyway, be careful, I don't know much about the Rinnegan's abilities either."

"Kurama, you don't know?" Kushina continued to ask, after all, as their relationship deepened, Kurama had also told her some past events, including those involving the Sage of Six Paths.

"I haven't seen the old man fight either, but I'm not mistaken about those eyes. This kind of pressure, although not as strong as the old man's, is definitely the Rinnegan!" Kurama's tone was somewhat solemn. "Kushina, be careful. I'll extract some more Chakra for you. If necessary, I will control your body and use Senjutsu Mode to fight."

"Alright!" Kushina replied, "Whether it's true or not, we'll only know after we fight!"

With that, Kushina clapped her fist and activated "Crimson Dragon Calamity".

At this moment, deep red vortexes began to appear on her golden Chakra Cloak. These vortexes continued to rise and expand, eventually completely enveloping her entire body.

She looks like a female war goddess wearing a golden coat and covered in raging flames.

That's exactly the case!

The same punch was thrown out as before, simple, unadorned, and monotonous.

But Nagato felt a chill run down his spine as the threat of death surged into his heart.

The same attack, but on a completely different level than before.

Almost instantly, Kushina's fist was right in front of him.

' Shinra Tensei!'

Nagato no longer held back and used the Deva Path Repulsive Force with all his might.

An invisible Repulsive Force suddenly appeared, carrying a tremendous force that seemed capable of distorting space itself, and crashed down.

Nagato used most of his Chakra at once, and the power of Shinra Tensei was beyond imagination.

Boom--!

A deafening explosion rang out!

A massive amount of air was forced out, creating a terrifying high-pressure shock wave.

The dazzling light was blinding to everyone in the room.

With a deafening roar, the ground shook violently for miles around.

The surrounding rocks and trees were reduced to dust almost instantly. Trees far from the explosion's epicenter were merely affected by the aftershocks and torn to shreds as if made of paper, spreading rapidly in all directions with the accompanying wind and dust.

A massive mushroom cloud rose into the air!

As far as the eye could see, not only had the once lush vegetation disappeared, but the entire valley had been wiped out in an instant.

At the very center of the explosion, a giant crater hundreds of meters in diameter was left behind, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground around the crater, extending for kilometers.

Obito, who had just appeared not far from the center of the explosion, suddenly widened his eyes and instantly used his intangibility ability to place his body in Alternate Space. Sand and stones flew everywhere, and tree debris kept passing through his body. A normal ninja would probably be riddled with holes by the sand and stones kicked up by the aftershocks of the explosion.

At this moment, the scene at the bottom of the giant pit slowly came into Obito's view.

Nagato, Nagato imposing, was now in a sorry state; the Akatsuki's black robe with red clouds was tattered and torn.

Kushina, standing not far in front of Nagato, had a surprised expression on her face, but she appeared to be unharmed.

"Even Nagato, who possesses the Rinnegan, has fallen into a disadvantageous position?" Obito was already glad that he hadn't directly infiltrated the Uzumaki Clan himself, but instead had Nagato scout ahead first.

Although his awakened Mangekyo possesses spatial abilities, it is not absolutely invincible. The Uzumaki Clan has a plethora of Sealing Jutsu, and no one can guarantee that there are no Sealing Jutsu to counter spatial abilities.

Kushina's strength was far more terrifying than he had anticipated!

We need to find Lin right away!

Obito anticipated that Nagato might not be Kushina at the moment, and chose to leave the battlefield immediately.
