Chapter 239: Kushina: I’m Too Strong!

"Go!"Uchiha Shisui shouted in a low voice. The fact that he could use a sneak attack to forcibly cast a genjutsu on Yoshinori and assassinate him was truly bullying the old and frail who were not at their peak. If he were to face a true Jonin, he didn’t think he had much of a chance of winning. Now that he couldn’t control the situation with Fugaku’s name, the only plan was to temporarily hold the opponent back and escort them to a safe place. Mikoto understood that this was not the time for pleasantries. "Thank you." Although Uchiha Shisui was younger than her, judging by his methods and skills, he seemed to be above her. Her staying behind might not be of much use. And the other party was after her and Itachi... One person shouted. "Attack!" Hearing the voice, Shisui could tell—it was Uchiha Inabi! Uchiha Shisui took a deep breath, his blade held horizontally. "Run towards the village! Someone will surely be there to receive you. I can hold them off for ten seconds, but after that, you’re on your own!" The next moment, he threw out several exploding tags. And then... he flickered backwards. Behind him, four or five people were forming hand seals on the roof of a house. That was their only escape route. His three-tomoe eyes saw through the ninjutsu they were sealing. Great Fireball! They weren’t planning on holding back. When Uchiha Yoshinori was still alive, everyone maintained a considerable degree of restraint. Now that Yoshinori had been assassinated by him, these people had instead gone completely mad. Shisui was annoyed inwardly. If he had known this would be the result, he would have held back and captured instead of killed. That way, he could at least have delayed for a while, unlike the trouble now. Still not mature enough! He took a deep breath, his mind racing for a countermeasure. Genjutsu? No. If the opponent was caught off guard, completely unaware that he was going to use genjutsu, a surprise attack with genjutsu would be somewhat useful. But now, these people were in a state of high tension and alert... genjutsu was simply impossible to be effective. Use... that? Uchiha Shisui suddenly thought that Ryoho Kyohiko had once given him something to save his life, and it had indeed saved his life before. Perhaps it could work this time too. However, there was no need for it yet! Those four or five people, although they were blocking their only escape route, for him, it was not impossible to break through... Uchiha Shisui said in a low voice. "Follow me!" Then—as he was running, he suddenly formed a seal with one hand, his figure splitting into several clones. Some were false clones, but among them was one real shadow clone. The Sharingan had the ability to see through and see the flow of chakra. The false clones naturally wouldn’t have an effect, but just a momentary distraction was enough to make them lose focus for an instant. The next moment, he instantly rushed forward. With the Body Flicker Technique and the stimulation of Lightning Release chakra, Shisui’s speed was pushed to the extreme. Even the dynamic vision of the Sharingan could only see afterimages moving. The real body and the shadow clone were constantly switching positions. The Sharingan had powerful insight, but with just a moment’s interference, at Shisui’s speed, he had already reached a position they couldn’t have predicted. They had lost Shisui’s position. Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique! Three great fireballs spewed out, bombarding the front, while the other two were wary of Shisui’s attack. However, at this moment, two figures suddenly jumped out from in front. "Be careful!" Someone shouted. The three who were spewing fireballs were startled and immediately changed their positions. Only one person was extremely frustrated. "Don’t panic, it’s a clone! It’s a clone!" However, the next moment. BOOM! The house below was suddenly split open. Shisui’s figure shot out from below, holding a blade and charging at one person. Two of them simultaneously swung their swords to kill. But at the same time, of the three who were spewing great fireballs, one terminated the ninjutsu and drew his sword, alert to the surroundings. But—in an instant, a flame from below blew up the roof. Amidst the chaos, stopping them was no longer possible. Mikoto and Itachi immediately flickered and "drilled" out from the gap on their side. How could the five people have time to stop them? They immediately scattered, but the one entangled with Shisui’s shadow clone couldn’t retreat in time and was hit by Shisui’s sword, then engulfed by flames. Shisui’s shadow clone dissipated and returned. Below, he looked up, a cold and complex smile on his lips. The essence of assassination techniques was not how clever one’s hiding was, but diverting attention, and then suddenly attacking and killing the opponent. However, after the initial joy, his heart became complicated. The number of clansmen who had died at his hands... had increased by one! Although he had made the decision long ago, when he truly faced this moment, his heart was still in unbearable pain. Stained with the blood of my clansmen! He stood on the roof surrounded by flames, looking back at the clansmen behind him, his expression complicated. "You all should go. Don’t go back to Konoha!" Shisui hoped for peace in the clan. But was he supposed to kill them all? That... was too cruel! However. "Hmph, what foolish words are you saying? You guys chase them, a few of you stay with me and kill him!" Uchiha Inabi sneered. In that instant, from the direction near the Uchiha clan’s territory, a strong and terrifying chakra fluctuation was felt. The entire village felt the intense chakra presence. Inabi was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly. "Everyone, do you feel it? This powerful force will help our Uchiha become strong again!" Uchiha Shisui’s pupils shrank. What is this presence? A look of astonishment appeared on his face, and he then looked towards the source of the presence. Shisui didn’t know what kind of creature was emitting this chakra, but in Konoha, to have this level of power, besides Kyohiko and the others, there was only—The Nine-Tails? The Nine-Tails has been released??! Konoha couldn’t possibly release the Nine-Tails on its own. Then there was only one possibility. His heart was shocked and terrified. His gaze swept over the dozens of clansmen before him, only one thought remaining. "How dare you?" *** On the other side. A while ago, the people of the Uchiha clan were plotting to seize the power of the Tailed Beast. The one in charge of this matter was precisely Uchiha Shinji and his subordinates—Shinji would break the seal, and several others would jointly summon the Nine-Tails. The night was quiet as usual. Tonight, Namikaze Minato was not at home, the most suitable time to make a move. Uchiha Shinji looked at the house in front, calculating the time in his heart. After a long while, just as he was preparing to sneak in, from inside the house, a small figure squeezed out from a crack in the window. A miniature Nine-Tails?!! Uchiha Shinji’s breathing quickened. He was still waiting for an opportunity, but he hadn’t expected the Nine-Tails to come out on its own. Konoha is trying to reform and win over a Tailed Beast, how laughable... If a Tailed Beast could be reformed, would it need to be locked up as a power source for a Jinchuriki? Heaven is truly helping me! A thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly moved forward. Just as Kushina’s "Adamantine Sealing Chains" emerged from the house, Uchiha Shinji suddenly drew his sword and crossed a dozen steps with a body flicker. Then, chakra surged on the blade. Uchiha Style Kenjutsu! Flames danced on the sword, directly cutting the Adamantine Sealing Chains through the collision of chakra. "Who’s there?" Uzumaki Kushina immediately smashed through the window. Then, she saw a man in a black robe directly grab the young Nine-Tails and instantly run a great distance away. "Don’t even think about running!" Uzumaki Kushina’s brow furrowed. She flickered forward, the Adamantine Sealing Chains rapidly growing from her body. The next second, she saw the other party’s hand, a scroll appeared, directly wrapping the Nine-Tails in it. Then, a tyrannical chakra instantly erupted. Just as the Nine-Tails was about to strike Uchiha Shinji, the power of the summoning contract summoned it directly from there. Uzumaki Kushina gritted her teeth. "Uchiha! You’re an Uchiha!" In that instant, the Nine-Tails’ power was unsealed. She saw the other party’s clear Uchiha emblem. And such an unsealing scroll, only the legendary Uchiha Madara could possibly achieve it. The Nine-Tails within her also proved this point—that presence came from Uchiha Madara! "Heh." A look of hesitation flashed in Uchiha Shinji’s eyes, and in the end, he gave up the decision to attack the other party. The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Kushina. Although she had no particularly outstanding abilities besides sealing jutsu, if she was really pushed to the brink, even a Jinchuriki with only a part of the chakra could still erupt with very terrifying power. At that time, he would be the first to bear the brunt, and would surely... surely... A look of horror and disbelief appeared in Uchiha Shinji’s eyes. The next moment, his lips trembled. "No!" In Uchiha Shinji’s eyes at this moment, a powerful Tailed Beast chakra was madly pouring out from Kushina’s body, as if the Nine-Tails and Kushina were merging into one. In dealing with Uchiha Madara, the Nine-Tails and Kushina’s goals were completely aligned, so... even if the seal on the Nine-Tails was not completely lifted, just leaving some gaps as usual, the chakra still covered Kushina’s entire body. At this moment, Kushina felt the powerful force surging from within her, and her own chakra was covering the seal. A special Tailed Beast state! She understood in her heart, and then in an instant, she understood what she needed to do—Capture him! Uzumaki Kushina and the Nine-Tails shouted at the same time. Since this person had used Madara’s power, he must have a connection with Madara. His memory was very precious. Then, Attack! Nine-Tails Chakra Mode! And at this time, Uchiha Shinji had just turned his head to look in the direction behind him, but what he saw was—that figure slowly turned into an afterimage and disappeared. There was no chakra fluctuation. Because... what disappeared was just an afterimage, not a "clone technique." Bang! A huge force came directly from his shoulder, and then spread to half of his body. Crack! A series of bone-cracking sounds erupted from within his body. With just one punch, his right shoulder collapsed, the bones completely shattered, not a single intact inch could be found. How is that possible! Uchiha Shinji’s mind went blank. The Nine-Tails roared inside Kushina’s body. "You idiot, don’t use so much power! What if you kill him?" Uzumaki Kushina’s face flushed red. "Why are you yelling? I didn’t expect it to be so strong either!" "Now you know! Control it a little, you bastard! If you kill him, I’ll make you pay with your life!" The Nine-Tails spoke meaningless harsh words. Kushina certainly didn’t dare to kill the other party. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have skewed her position at the last moment and aimed for the right shoulder where the damage would be least. And now... she no longer needed to use her fists. Adamantine Sealing Chains! Enhanced by the Tailed Beast’s chakra, one golden chain after another erupted from Kushina’s body, quickly spreading around and locking Uchiha Shinji. The endless sealing power quickly locked Uchiha Shinji, and then, one sealing formula after another crawled all over his body. With a scroll covering him, he was completely unable to move anymore. "Hmm?" Uzumaki Kushina instantly looked in one direction. What was that? Just now, she had sensed an extremely faint malice, but it vanished in a flash. When she looked over, there was nothing there. "Nine-Tails..." "This great one has a name. I am Kurama!" "Alright, Kurama. Did you feel that just now?" Kurama grinned. "Of course." "Although I don’t know what it is, someone was definitely spying." "Never mind, it must be Uchiha Madara’s people. Now..." "Minato! Quickly send him to the Anbu for imprisonment. My power is already overflowing!" Uzumaki Kushina couldn’t hide her excitement. The Nine-Tails Chakra Mode was too strong! She felt that even if it were the Third Raikage, she could go up and hammer him a bit—whether she could win or not was another matter, but she was terrifyingly strong! Kurama was speechless. "You idiot, the longer you use my chakra, the faster your own chakra will be consumed. Why don’t you put it away first?" "Oh, right, right!" Kushina was careless and only now remembered that she could put the chakra away first, interrupt the current state, and use it again next time. Anyway, for the time being, the Nine-Tails was in a state of complete cooperation with her. "Charge!" Uzumaki Kushina couldn’t contain her drive. Namikaze Minato, who had just come to support, had a helpless look on his face. Kushina... this one, she becomes impulsive as soon as she gets power. This is really not a good thing. He directly teleported the wrapped-up Uchiha Shinji to the Anbu with the Flying Thunder God. The next second, Minato quickly chased after Kushina. The current Uchiha clan was treacherous. Who knew what would happen? It was better to keep an eye on things just in case. At this moment, in the Uchiha clan’s territory... the Nine-Tails suddenly stood on the edge, letting out a heaven-shaking roar. "Nine-Tails, I command you, destroy Konoha!" Uchiha Shinji’s subordinate, after his chakra was greatly depleted, looked up at the Nine-Tails, using the method he had obtained to try and control it. However, the quarter-power clone of the Nine-Tails looked down at them as if looking at a group of fools. Then, the Nine-Tails grinned. Smack! With one slap, the earth moved and the mountains were destroyed. The six people... all turned into corpses. The Nine-Tails threw its head back and howled, a sound of joy and pleasure. Uchiha, didn’t expect this, did you! It grinned, then looked at that clan territory and pouted. Damn guys, they actually won’t let me destroy it on a large scale, saying that the Uchiha clan members are also people of Konoha... It looked at that area. Just as it was about to walk over, a figure suddenly appeared from the void. Black Zetsu, controlling Obito, forcibly came out of the isolated space—he knew. If he didn’t make a move now, the Nine-Tails might just wipe out the Uchiha, and Konoha would just have to come and clean up the mess. "The old you, combined with special cells and the lord’s power, could have the power to control the Nine-Tails. Now after evolving, you can completely control it." Uchiha Obito answered with indifference and numbness. "What should I do?" "Control it, then leave. The power of the Tailed Beast will become a help to our cause of peace. Or, do you want to protect the Uchiha clan?" "Protect?" Uchiha Obito looked behind him with indifference and let out a cold laugh. This clan... what is there left to be attached to?
