The Day People Once Again Remembered the Terror of Being Ruled by the Nine-Tails (11th Update)
On January 1st, Konoha Year 43, a new year arrived, and Sakumo's suicide was already an event from the previous year.
Near the Training Ground grounds outside the East Gate Konoha, there is a large, luxurious residence, and Kushina lives there.
At this moment, at Kushina's home.
"Kushina, are you ready?"
"Shiraha, I'm a little nervous."
"Don't be afraid, it's not the first time. Get ready, I'm going in."
"Okay, come on."
Inside the room, Shiraha placed his hand on the seal on Kushina's lower abdomen. This time, they were preparing to try again to get Kushina to fuse with the "massive" amount (one-thousandth) of the Kurama 'Chakra.
Because of her previous failure and the hallucination of Shiraha being killed, Kushina was traumatized and somewhat afraid.
Consciousness entered the Sealing Space along with the Chakra.
"Huh? What happened here? When did it become like this?"
Shiraha looked puzzled.
Since the Kurama rejected him, Shiraha has not entered Kushina's body for a long time, and the scene in the Sealing Space has changed drastically.
The Sealing Space was pitch black at the time, with only a "Big Orange" imprisoned inside, looking like it had seen through the world.
The Sealing Space is now like daytime after night. Although it is still empty, it is full of light and no longer has the dark and oppressive feeling it had before.
"Tch, what's the big deal? If it weren't for the seal, I could turn this place into Konoha with my Chakra!" Kurama scoffed.
"Is this the Senjutsu and Yin-Yang Release you mentioned?" Shiraha asked in surprise. It seems that there are many advanced uses of Chakra that he has not yet mastered. After advancing and gaining a long lifespan, he can study them in depth.
"Why should I tell you?" Kurama- Tailed Fox said coldly, looking down on Shiraha's naive and unsophisticated appearance.
Kushina approached Kurama: "Kurama, you can't be so rude! That's not good!"
"Damn it! Don't talk to me like that, the kind of tone you humans use to coax children!" Kurama was furious, but it didn't mock Shiraha anymore.
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. Based on our previous analysis, Kushina should have a good chance of successfully using your Chakra now, right?" Shiraha said seriously.
"It should be possible. As long as I control the amount and she's not overwhelmed by her negative emotions, we can succeed." Kurama nodded, then glanced at Kushina: "You don't lose control the moment you think of that Shiraha brat, do you?"
I'll try my best.
Kushina's answer clearly lacked confidence.
"Hmph! Call Mito out yourself." Kurama snorted coldly and turned her face away.
Shiraha sensed a hint of sourness in Kurama's tone and inexplicably wanted to laugh, but he held it in. He went to Kushina's side and whispered something in her ear.
Kurama- Tailed Fox's droopy fox ears suddenly twitched and stood up straight like a husky's, glancing at the two of them sideways.
"Yes! I understand, I will try my best!" Kushina nodded heavily, then looked directly above the Sealing Space and called out, "Grandma Mito, are you there? I want to try again, can you help me?"
As soon as Kushina finished speaking, Chakra Orb appeared in the space in front of her.
Immediately afterwards, the young and beautiful Uzumaki Mito appeared.
Looking at the now-adult Kushina, Uzumaki Mito smiled broadly.
"Grandma Mito!" Kushina rushed over and hugged Mito tightly.
At this point, she was already slightly taller than Mito.
Who would have thought that these two women, who look like sisters, are actually grandmother and granddaughter?
After a brief conversation with Kushina, Uzumaki Mito's expression gradually turned serious as she asked, "Kushina, are you really ready?"
"Yes!"
"Alright." This time, Uzumaki Mito didn't try to persuade her further. She added, "I've said before that my Chakra can only be used three times. If you fail again this time, I can't give you a third chance to try, just to be on the safe side. I hope you understand."
"Yes!" Kushina knew that this was Mito of showing her affection, so she naturally had no objections.
In fact, this attempt to control the Nine-Tails Chakra was something she took the initiative to suggest to Shiraha.
The White Fang incident made Kushina feel a sense of crisis.
The village could drive White Fang to her death, and perhaps one day it will force her to leave Shiraha when it is "necessary".
To truly control one's own life, one needs greater power.
However, after she mastered the "Crimson Dragon Armor," she felt that her strength was improving rather slowly.
Even though Kurama has reconciled with her now, the Chakra of the Perfect Nine-Tails Kurama is too vast, and because of the obstruction of Mito's seal, the small amount of chaotic Chakra that spills out of the Kurama has a slight impact on her training in Sealing Jutsu.
Although Kurama thought the effect of this amount of Chakra was negligible, Kushina wanted to become stronger as soon as possible.
"Get ready," Uzumaki Mito said solemnly, unleashing a powerful Chakra as she clapped her hands together.
Splash!
The chains tightly binding the Kurama began to pull rapidly, and then "unbound" it.
Boom!
Kurama sat up abruptly, and apart from its torso, it could now control its limbs and tail with ease.
At this moment, Uzumaki Mito watched the Kurama warily. If it made the slightest move, she would use her remaining Chakra to strengthen the seal to its strongest level and completely suppress the Kurama.
"Finally." The Kurama, having regained some of its 'freedom,' was about to let out a long roar to vent its anger when it noticed Mito's expression, and its voice instantly became low.
Although Kushina is a good person, her grandparents are both unreasonable people. Considering that the fox is under their roof and has no choice but to bow down, Kurama decided to give Kushina some face and not stoop to their level.
Seeing Kurama (the Kurama- Tails) obediently squatting on its hind legs, Uzumaki Mito breathed a sigh of relief.
"Kushina, are you ready?" The Kurama brought its forelimbs together in front of its chest, and a large amount of orange Chakra began to gather.
"Let's begin."
Kushina replied.
"Hmm." Kurama nodded, and orange Chakra, like an outer garment, gradually enveloped Kushina's body.
Konoha is a peaceful and serene place.
With the arrival of the New Year, the entire Konoha was immersed in a festive atmosphere.
The streets were bustling with people, and the main roads were packed with people.
The children chased and played, and the adults also got to relax for a rare moment.
The topic of conversation has long since shifted from White Fang to New Year's hopes and wishes.
The Third Hokage, accompanied by his youngest son, Sarutobi Asuma, who had recently graduated from the Ninja Academy, visited the elders of his clan. They then went to several other Ninja Clan closely associated with the Sarutobi Clan, including the Sarutobi Clan- Ino-Shika-Cho clans, the direct descendants of the Sarutobi clan.
Buzz—
In the distance, a slender red beam of light rose from the ground, shot up into the clouds, and then slowly dissipated.
"Daddy! What's that? It's so pretty! Is it a new kind of firework? I want one too!"
On the street, children saw the red beams of light shooting into the sky and tugged at their parents' clothes, because New Year's wishes are often easier to fulfill than usual.
"What fireworks?" The adult looked in the direction the child was pointing.
Boom!
A massive, scarlet beam of light shot straight into the sky, shattering large swathes of clouds and seemingly tearing a hole in the heavens.
A suffocating atmosphere of terror permeated the air.
"What is that?!"
In the crowd, someone spoke first, and when everyone noticed the beam of light, the noisy street suddenly became quiet, and soon, like a plague, it spread rapidly, plunging into a deathly silence.
"Ah!"
"Run!"
A huge riot broke out in the crowd.
"My God! That's the Kurama?!" Among the older generation of Jōnin, some recognized the Kurama, after all, that unique and catastrophic Chakra aura was absolutely unparalleled.
"Something happened to the Jinchuriki?!"
"Kushina?! No way?" Sarutobi Hiruzen his spine, his face turning grim. Forcing himself to calm down, he immediately ordered the Ino-Shika-Cho clan ninjas beside him, "Evacuate the villagers immediately and send them to the underground Shelter. Jōnin, assemble! Notify the Anbu and the Sealing Squad to come to our aid. Asuma, you leave here immediately!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen reacted quickly and rushed towards the direction where Kushina had 'lost control'.
