The boy in front of it was key to its ability to persuade Kushina.
In its current state, it has indeed broken free from the shackles of those seals, but its connection with Kushina has not been completely severed.
Kushina was in a deep coma, but even so, she could still sense Araki's presence through her emotions.
If it really did something to Araki, it would inevitably cause Kushina to be extremely dissatisfied. In the end, if she wasn't careful, it might be sealed away again, and at that time, that human's life might be over.
The Nine-Tails is no longer the Nine-Tails it once was. After experiencing the trials of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, it gradually lost its sharp edges. And after being sealed inside Mito Uzumaki, it understood even more that one must think and plan before acting, and not act rashly.
"Get out!"
"Don't bother me!"
"Before I change my mind!"
Nine-Tails's voice became much more indifferent, and its gaze shifted from Araki to the distant desert ahead, preparing to head towards the Land of Land of Wind.
Actually, it doesn't necessarily want to go to the Land of Wind, but rather it doesn't want to Land of Fire. That place holds too many painful memories for it, and it needs time to recover before it can step back into that sorrowful land.
As for the Araki in front of him...
Those humans, as insignificant as dust, were not worth his attention; they had virtually no impact on him.
That's all.
Nine-Tails- Tailed Fox took a leisurely step forward. Its steps were not large, but due to its enormous size, it covered a vast area.
Whoosh!
However...
Just as the Nine-Tails was preparing to compose itself and once again embrace the baptism of freedom, that figure it so utterly loathed once more blocked its path.
Are you forcing me?
The Nine-Tails' helpless tone was tinged with intense anger. Its massive head suddenly swooped down, baring its teeth, and charged directly at Araki, seemingly intent on killing Araki instantly.
However, Araki remained motionless, standing there watching the Nine-Tails ' head rush towards him, his expression completely unchanged.
Just as the Nine-Tails ' head was about to crash into Araki, it suddenly stopped, its blood-red eyes filled with a murderous aura.
"This is the last time. Get out of my sight, or I won't let you off the hook!"
Nine-Tails ' voice was extremely cold, as if it lowered the temperature of the surrounding air by several degrees. It was extremely displeased, partly due to Araki's contempt for it, and partly due to the feeling that the other party had it cornered and dared not make a move. All of this made it feel constrained.
Once upon a time, it was the Nine-Tails that dominated the world, the strongest among the Nine Tailed Beasts. But now, even insignificant humans can act so recklessly in its presence, and the world has almost forgotten its terror.
" Nine-Tails, I think you've misunderstood."
Araki's calm voice suddenly rang out, clearly echoing between heaven and earth. Combined with the contrast between his massive size and that of the Nine-Tails, it presented an indescribable sense of contrast.
"I think I've made myself clear. You should go back now; it's time to get some fresh air."
Araki's tone was firm and unwavering, carrying a commanding air. He spoke as if he were ordering a playful pet around the house, showing absolutely no respect for the Tailed Beast.
Upon hearing this,
The Chakra on Nine-Tails's body began to boil violently.
His blood-red eyes trembled incessantly.
It was clear that it was trying its best to suppress its anger. Even though it was considerate of Kushina's feelings, being provoked by such a human time and time again had made its anger burn fiercely and uncontrollably.
You're asking for it!
The Nine-Tails fox's blood-red pupils contracted sharply. The next moment, disregarding Kushina's feelings, it raised its right paw and slammed it heavily onto Araki's body.
This strike carried immense power, enough to crush Araki into a pulp.
"No!!!"
Suddenly, a roar rang out, Kushina opened her eyes abruptly. She found herself lying on the floor of a dimly lit corridor, half of her body submerged in the water, but her clothes were not wet.
But at this moment, she couldn't care less about this unusual phenomenon. Her gaze fell on the wide-open iron gate, where the Nine-Tails was no longer present. Most of the chains behind her had broken off from the Nine-Tails, with only the last one remaining, tightly connected.
This chain is the key to the seal.
If this chain breaks, she will completely lose contact with Nine-Tails, and she will die as Jinchūriki has lost her Tailed Beast, while Nine-Tails will regain its freedom.
You mustn't hurt him!
An unprecedented determination appeared in Kushina's eyes. She had been jolted awake from a deep sleep by sensing the situation outside.
If Araki were killed by such a claw strike...
Although it was Nine-Tails who uttered the claws, the Chakra that overflowed from her body was also her own, and she and Nine-Tails were one. Nine-Tails killing Araki was equivalent to her killing Araki.
This is something she cannot accept!
In an instant.
As if it had heard Kushina's cry from the depths of her soul, the Nine-Tails ' raised claws hovered in mid-air. Then, the fierce light in its eyes turned into helplessness in an instant, and it lowered its claws again. It then acted as if it couldn't see Araki at all, having decided to completely ignore him.
It's time to leave.
I can't get entangled with this person anymore.
Otherwise, he might unleash an uncontrollable killing intent again next time.
Nine-Tails was all too aware of its own mindset. It never considered humans to be respectable beings; their lives were not even on the same level as its own. Killing a person was as simple as crushing an ant for it.
"That scared me to death."
Just as Nine-Tails was about to leave, Araki's voice rang out again, his tone still indifferent. He said he was terrified, but he wasn't actually scared at all. This made Nine-Tails feel a strong sense of contempt once again, and a nameless anger rose in its heart.
"To be honest, now that I've come this far, I finally understand what the Lord First Hokage meant." Araki raised his head, looking at the massive figure of the Nine-Tails, and clearly uttered a very classic line, " Nine-Tails, you're too dangerous!"
"!!!"
Upon hearing these words, Nine-Tails was immediately shaken, especially when Araki mentioned the First Hokage, which reminded it of that man who resembled the Sage of Six Paths. Fear, humiliation, and anger surged within it.
This is a fear ingrained in our very bones!
certainly.
And that comes with it.
And there was also extremely intense anger!
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
"That guy Hashirama Senju!"
"That crazy woman, Mito!"
"How could they just blurt out anything like that!"
"I'm so angry!"
"Waaaaaaah!"
The Nine-Tails roared and spewed mad words, and at the end, it raised its head and roared angrily. Terrifying Chakra surged outward with this sound, once again stirring up gusts of wind that spread and swept outward, almost destroying everything here.
The Nine-Tails harbored deep hatred!
After that, Araki traveled here. I had watched Naruto before and knew about the story between him and Hashirama. I thought that Hashirama and Mito had spread these stories so that the whole of Konoha and even the ninja world knew about them.
That's right!
That must be it!
Otherwise, why would this tiny, insect-like boy show no fear whatsoever upon seeing me, and even treat me like a pet?
It was definitely Hashirama's fault!
Where does this leave my dignity?!
Those insignificant people in the world probably all think I'm easy to bully!
That's infuriating!
This is absolutely outrageous!
Negative emotions surged within Nine-Tails's heart. As these emotions churned, its Chakra became more solid, almost returning to its normal state.
"Why..."
After seeing this scene, Araki realized that he could not delay any longer. When he used words to provoke Nine-Tails, he wanted to find out exactly how much control Kushina still had.
He was now almost certain that Kushina could only influence Nine-Tails's actions through the simplest of thoughts, and these actions were all based on Nine-Tails's subjective will. If Nine-Tails didn't want to, then Kushina couldn't do anything about it.
Since there was no way to calm things down through Kushina, he had no choice but to resort to external force. This was a method he was reluctant to use, but it was a last resort. After all, even if he could deceive Kushina, he would at least expose his abilities to the Nine-Tails, which might leave some hidden dangers for the future.
However, if he doesn't act now, it will be too late. The Nine-Tails ' body will become even more materialized, and with his current strength, he might not be a match for the materialized Nine-Tails.
Having just experienced the shock, Nine-Tails's mindset is unstable, and having been influenced by Kushina, this is the perfect opportunity.
Instantly.
Araki's eyes hardened.
He clapped his hands together suddenly.
Buzz!
Araki's body suddenly trembled violently, and his heart pounded wildly, as if a high-pressure water pump was frantically drawing out the green Chakra within him, instantly filling the Chakra channels around his body.
This is the energy from Hashirama Cells absorbed in Orochimaru's laboratory. After being depleted in the battle with Orochimaru and subsequently dissipated, only a portion of it remained.
This portion isn't much, but it's enough for one battle. It's a trump card that Araki kept for himself, and now it's time to reveal it.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Araki's body trembled repeatedly, his entire body enveloped in a layer of green Chakra, his jet-black hair flew upwards against gravity, and his dark eyes were dyed dark green. His aura underwent a drastic change.
" Nine-Tails, you are truly too strong. I have no choice but to go all out to send you back to where you belong."
Araki's voice was incredibly solemn. His volume wasn't loud, but at this moment, it seemed to come from all directions, as if the sky itself was speaking.
"You--you are--"
The Nine-Tails' newly solidified body suddenly trembled violently, and its Chakra surged violently. Its massive body tilted backward uncontrollably, and the narrow pupils in its fox eyes shrank to almost a vertical line.
The boy in front of me...
That Chakra...
familiar!
