That night.
Tsunade Pushed open the door of Senju Estate's main house, and a strong wave of poison Yakumi hit his face.
The curtains were half drawn, and the light in the room was very dark.
Mito Uzumaki was leaning on the bed, her red hair turning from bright to gray.
His skinny fingers rested on the edge of the quilt, his fingertips glowing an unhealthy purple color.
Mito, I can't hold it any longer.
Three days ago, Mito called Tsunade to the bedside and told her personally:
"I can't hold on much longer. Nine-Tails's handover needs to be in advance."
At that time Tsunade didn't say much and just nodded.
Mito said that when the preparations for the sealing ceremony are completed, he would call Kushina.
Uzumaki's Sealing Jutsu talent combined with Senju's Chakra support allowed Nine-Tails to stabilize in her body.
But just yesterday, Tsunade suddenly thought of something clearly.
Now that she has unified Shinobi World and gathered Tailed Beast, it is just a matter of time.
Just become Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
Become Six Paths Mode and kill on the moon!
Tsunade walked into the house and sat down on the low stool next to the bed.
Mito opened his eyes and looked at Tsunade, waiting quietly for her to speak.
Tsunade did not beat around the bush. "Grandma, the plan to transfer Nine-Tails into Kushina's body is cancelled."
Mito blinked, not surprised, just said softly "Oh": "You want to do it yourself."
"Yes."
Tsunade nodded slightly.
"I am more suitable to suppress Nine-Tails than Kushina. Nine-Tails can't turn the world upside down in my body."
Mito didn't speak immediately.
She looked at Tsunade's face for a long time, and then smiled softly.
That smile was filled with relief:
"When you were a child, when I first told you about Nine-Tails, you were so scared that your grandma would turn into a fox in the middle of the night and eat you."
"Now you dare to put it in your stomach."
Tsunade's mouth moved slightly. "I was ignorant at that time. Now I understand, Nine-Tails is just a big cat."
"Not a big cat."
Mito shook his head slightly.
"It's crazy, ferocious, and willing to accept death. You have to be prepared for a protracted battle with it."
"I'm ready."
Mito was silent for a few seconds, and finally nodded:
"Okay. Now that you've decided, let's finish what needs to be done while I still have the last bit of strength."
She propped up her body and groped for a roll of yellowed Sealing Scroll from under the pillow:
"Take this. It is the Nine-Tails Sealing Jutsu formula that I have studied all my life, including the variant of Adamantine Sealing Chains. You will need it in the future."
Tsunade took the scroll and put it into his arms without opening it.
Mito closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing for a moment, and then spoke:
"Help me unlock the seal. Nine-Tails must come out from here before I can enter your side."
Tsunade sat opposite Mito, with his hands Hand Seals.
The sealing technique slowly peeled off in her hands.
At that moment, a violent and hateful Chakra spurted out from the gap.
Like a beast that has been imprisoned for too long and finally smells the scent of freedom.
The air in the room suddenly became thick and heavy, and fine cold sweat broke out on Mito's forehead.
Tsunade didn't stop.
She was extremely careful in how she opened the seal.
It's like undoing a rope that has been tight for many years, relaxing it bit by bit, preventing any of the techniques from suddenly breaking.
A few minutes later, the last seal on Mito was lifted.
A dark red light rose from her body, carrying a burning aura.
The center of the red light began to condense into the outline of a huge fox.
Nine-Tails appeared.
Slowly forming in mid-air in front of Tsunade, a pair of vertical pupils stared at the two women in front of him with naked hostility.
"Finally it's out..."
Nine-Tails's voice was hoarse and rough, like a stone rubbing against a stone wall.
"Mito Uzumaki, you have trapped me for so many years. Is today the day you die?"
Mito has no answer.
Her breathing was already a little rapid, and her face was gray, as if her body had lost its supporting frame.
Nine-Tails's eyes moved to Tsunade, and when he saw the purple rippled pupils clearly, its pupils shrank slightly:
"That eye...Sage of Six Paths's eye..."
"Enough nonsense."
Tsunade stood up and moved his wrist.
"Are you going to enter my seal yourself, or will you let me stuff you in?"
Nine-Tails let out a low laugh:
"Arrogant little girl. Even with Sage of Six Paths's eyes, do you think you can suppress me?"
Its voice did not fall, and its body was already moving.
The dark red Chakra condensed into a huge claw and went straight to Tsunade's face to slap it.
The speed is so fast that it tears the air.
Tsunade raised his hand, spread his fingers, and grabbed the Chakra claw from the front.
The moment the claw hit her palm, a repulsive force exploded from her body, shattering the claw into countless pieces.
The pieces melted as soon as they hit the ground, like raindrops falling onto the ground.
"Shinra Tensei."
Tsunade spoke lightly.
"How many Chakra do you have? Just throw them at me. See how many times you can shoot them."
Nine-Tails roared, and the dark red Chakra skyrocketed again.
The space around him began to twist, like rolling lava.
Tsunade took a step forward, Hand Seals his hands, and the diamond-shaped mark on his forehead lit up with light blue light.
Her Chakra spread out like a vast ocean and collided head-on with Nine-Tails's Tailed Beast Chakra, causing a dull roar in the air.
Nine-Tails's huge body was pushed back by the invisible wave of Chakra.
It looked in disbelief at the motionless woman standing in the darkness with her blond hair flowing.
It was like seeing a real monster for the first time.
"How much strength do you still have?" Tsunade said calmly.
Nine-Tails was silent for a moment.
It put away its violent hostility, narrowed its vertical pupils slightly, and poked at the woman's weakness.
Tsunade didn't give it more time to think.
She clasped her hands together, and the Chakra of Rinnegan in her body rushed to the core of the seal in the meridians.
The Sealing Jutsu style she had prepared long ago was like a giant net, slowly opening from her body and emerging in mid-air in front of her.
"Come in."
Sealing Jutsu style pushes forward with irresistible force, like a transparent wall.
Nine-Tails's vertical pupils flashed violently, and it tried to resist and retreat.
But under the blessing of Rinnegan, that technique turned into dozens of golden chains, firmly wrapping around its limbs and neck.
Together with the huge body, it was dragged towards Tsunade's abdomen.
"Ho--!"
Nine-Tails let out a deafening roar.
But those chains did not loosen. Instead, they tightened tighter and tighter, dragging its body inch by inch into the center of the Sealing Jutsu style.
Nine-Tails's roar is getting farther and farther away and getting duller.
Its shadow shrunk rapidly in Sealing Jutsu, as if it was swept away by Uzumaki, and was finally swallowed up completely.
The room became quiet.
Tsunade stood in place, breathing steadily.
She lowered her head and glanced at her lower abdomen, and a light red Uzumaki-shaped seal line appeared on her fair skin.
The lines lit up for a moment, then disappeared under the skin.
The Nine-Tails Chakra inside her body was surging violently, like a trapped animal in a new cage.
But after hitting the wall a few times, it seemed to realize that the cage was stronger than the last one.
The voice gradually became lower and lower, and finally there was only an unwilling groan, and it became quiet.
Tsunade raised his head and looked at Mito on the bed.
Mito leaned on the pillow, his face as pale as paper, but there was a trace of reassurance at the corner of his mouth.
Her eyes were half-closed, and her gaze was as gentle as the sunshine shining under the eaves on a spring afternoon.
"Grandma."
Tsunade walked over, squatted beside the bed, and held Mito's hand.
Mito's fingers were so thin that they had almost no warmth, but she still gently held Tsunade's fingers with her backhand:
"Nine-Tails... being in your body... is much safer than being in that girl Kushina's body..."
She paused for a moment, and her voice was so soft that it seemed to be dispersed by the wind. "My life... has not been in vain."
Tsunade did not let go of her hand.
She didn't speak.
Mito looked at her, smiled and closed her eyes.
Tsunade sat beside the bed, holding the hand that was gradually losing its warmth, and sat quietly for a long time.
Outside the window, on the Konoha street, there was the faint sound of children playing.
The Nine-Tails in her body sensed something, and opened a pair of vertical pupils deep in the seal.
It looked at the darkness quietly and made no sound.
