Chapter 182 I really want to see Naruto after he grows up! [Third Update]
"What an amazing tactic," Sasuke Uchiha couldn't help but exclaim.
He never expected that, under such obviously unfavorable circumstances, the Fourth Hokage would still be able to turn the tide.
Sasuke Uchiha increasingly felt that this was nothing like Naruto Uzumaki. Apart from the similar appearance, there was nothing else that resembled him.
Naruto Uzumaki is always impulsive and acts mostly by recklessness.
Minato Namikaze, on the other hand, remained calm and analytical throughout, acted decisively, and was very cool. He didn't seem like Naruto Uzumaki's father at all.
However, he is undeniably Naruto Uzumaki's father.
Is it because no one taught them that they went astray?
"This is the second stage of Flying Thunder God Technique," Minato Namikaze replied in return.
He surpassed the original Flying Thunder God technique left by the second generation and developed the second stage of Flying Thunder God.
Even the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, had to admit that the Fourth Hokage's talent in space-time ninjutsu surpassed his own.
The terrifying power of the Rasengan was fully demonstrated in this attack.
The masked man, who had taken the blow, was panting heavily. Even though half of his body had been modified by White Zetsu, taking such a blow was still enough to almost kill him.
Teachers are still teachers, and students are still students!
Even with such a lack of information, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, still gave his rebellious disciple a severe beating.
Everyone watched as one of his arms fell down like clay.
"You turned the tables on me. This is what you call appearing and disappearing like a ghost. We can't afford to be careless at all."
However, just as the masked man finished his reflections, Minato Namikaze gave him another practical lesson, appearing in front of him without anyone noticing.
"It's a divine technique of flying, I see. You've marked me."
At this moment, the masked man finally realized just how big a mistake he had made.
"With this contract seal, you intend to separate the Nine-Tails from me?"
"That way, the Nine-Tails will no longer be yours."
Minato Namikaze immediately used a seal to sever the connection between the masked man and the Nine-Tails.
The Sharingan in the Nine-Tails' eyes, which were being ordered to cause endless destruction, finally disappeared without a trace, returning to its original beast-like appearance.
Minato Namikaze completely controlled the rhythm of the battle, manipulating the masked man at will.
Especially for a ninja like Itachi Uchiha who fights using his brain, this kind of battle is truly admirable.
However, everyone's hearts were still heavy, because although the Nine-Tails had broken free from the Sharingan's control, its destructive desires had not stopped and had even become more frenzied.
Since being captured by Madara Uchiha decades ago and fighting Hashirama Senju, he has been sealed inside a Jinchuriki by Hashirama Senju. Two generations of Jinchuriki have passed the torch, and in the blink of an eye, decades have passed. The anger in his heart is equally immense.
Faced with the ferocious Nine-Tails, the Third Hokage, who was also only skilled at fighting humanoid creatures, could only do his best to use his Ruyi Jingu Bang to push the Nine-Tails out of the village, minimizing the damage it caused to the village.
Meanwhile, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was also nowhere to be found.
Because he was fighting the masked man on the other side.
This time, the masked man who was attacked a second time was no longer just something dripping with slime like before; he was actually beaten until he bled.
"As expected of the Fourth Hokage, I didn't expect you to be able to injure my hand and separate the Nine-Tails from me. However, the Nine-Tails will be mine sooner or later. I am the one who can unify the world, and I have plenty of ways to do so."
After uttering these harsh words, the masked man used space-time ninjutsu to leave the scene.
"That feeling doesn't seem like a lie."
Minato Namikaze didn't even have time to catch his breath before rushing to the village.
At this moment, all the adult ninjas were fighting desperately to keep the Nine-Tails out of the village.
Not only were the villagers of Konoha evacuated, but these young ninjas were also not allowed to participate in this battle, which was clearly a suicide mission.
This also includes the current pillars of the team, such as Kakashi Hatake, Guy, Asuma Sarutobi, and Kurenai.
If these people insist on participating in this battle, they will only be throwing their lives away. They have no chance of dealing with a terrifying monster like the Nine-Tailed Fox.
And as it turns out, this strategy was very effective. If these young ninjas had died in the battle twelve years ago, Konoha would now be facing a generational gap in its young ninjas.
Kakashi Hatake, who was reading the diary, felt this most deeply. At the time, he knew almost nothing before being sent to take refuge.
He was completely dazed at the time, and it wasn't until he watched the video of Kitahara Kaede's diary that he realized so much had happened that night.
From the moment his teacher's wife was attacked during childbirth, to the release of the Nine-Tails, to his teacher defeating the mysterious man, and now his teacher has to face the terrifying Nine-Tails head-on.
Seeing this scene, he felt immense sadness, because he knew that his teacher was going to pay with his life in this battle.
In this battle, the fourth generation of the Ji couple died.
In the video, Minato Namikaze arrives at the village and immediately notices Kurama (the Nine-Tails) accumulating Tailed Beast Balls.
He also saw the village below, utterly destroyed, but by then he had no time to mourn.
In this critical moment, he could only summon the giant toad of Mount Myōboku, Gamabunta.
Gamabunta's enormous body descended like a small mountain, crushing the Nine-Tails.
His appearance greatly boosted the morale of the Konoha ninjas, as the Fourth Hokage, who had been missing for some time, reappeared on the battlefield.
"Please keep this guy under control for a while," Minato Namikaze said to the toad boss beneath him.
"Even I can't suppress this guy."
The toad boss was dumbfounded. Was this even human language?
They may look similar in size, but in reality, they are far inferior.
He was just an ordinary summoning beast in the ninja world, and his size only increased because he cultivated Sage Mode. But the Nine-Tails was different; he was the number one monster among all the monsters in this world.
Even if all the other tailed beasts were combined, they couldn't defeat the Nine-Tails. Even suppressing it for a short while would be very difficult for Gamabunta.
"To redirect an attack of this scale, a considerable amount of chakra must be consumed."
Minato Namikaze immediately took Kurama away from the village.
"Minato...he flew away with Kurama?"
At this moment, the Third Generation saw a terrifying energy fluctuation coming from the deep mountains in the distance. A ball of energy exploded in the distance, making the whole place as bright as day.
Minato Namikaze used all his strength to bring Kurama (the Nine-Tails) over, as well as Kushina Uzumaki and Naruto.
At this point, Minato Namikaze had exhausted all his strength, and his chakra was almost completely depleted. After all, he did not have the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, and in terms of the amount of chakra, he could only be said to be within the normal range of Kage level.
"We need to set up the barrier as soon as possible, our chakra is almost gone..." Minato Namikaze said, panting.
"I can hold on a little longer, Minato."
Kushina spoke with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, and at the same time, the Vajra Chains surging from her body instantly trapped the Nine-Tails.
The nine-tailed fox still wanted to commit violence, but it was completely unable to move.
Faced with this situation, Naruto couldn't help but cry.
"If I can hold Kurama back like this, I will die too," Kushina Uzumaki said with a resolute expression. "This way, we can postpone Kurama's resurrection for a while. I have to use my remaining chakra to help you. This is the only way. Thank you for everything you've done for me all this time."
Tsunade, who was off-screen, couldn't help but shed tears. Although she hadn't cried for many years, she couldn't control herself at this moment. Perhaps only she knew Kushina's plan. According to the records in the Senju clan's notes, the nine tailed beasts in the ninja world were sealed in human bodies. However, if the Jinchuriki died, the nine tailed beasts would also die.
However, such death is not permanent. After a period of time, the tailed beast will be resurrected somewhere in the ninja world.
Clearly, Kushina Uzumaki wanted to reseal the Nine-Tails within her body, so that when she died, the Nine-Tails would also die, and even if the Nine-Tails were to be resurrected, it would be many years later.
Although they all knew that in the end they didn't do it, otherwise there wouldn't be Naruto as a Jinchuriki, it still made her unable to hold back her tears.
This reminded her of her grandmother, Mito Uzumaki, who was the first Jinchūriki of Konoha.
Faced with his wife's idea, Minato Namikaze, who had always maintained a calm demeanor, could no longer control himself.
He finally realized that he was going to lose his beloved wife today.
"I have only one wish: I really want to see Naruto when he grows up."
Faced with his wife's resolute decision and sacrifice, Minato Namikaze, the woman who made him the Fourth Hokage, husband, and father, made a decision: he could not let his wife die in vain; he would preserve the chakra of both of them.
"Kushina, you don't need to perish together with Kurama. I will use your remaining chakra to let you see Naruto."
Minato Namikaze made his decision.
He was determined to take down the Nine-Tails alone.
"Since I am not the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, I can only use the Reaper Death Seal."
"There's one more thing. Only half of the Nine-Tails is sealed within me. Such immense power cannot be suppressed by physical force, nor is it possible from a strategic perspective. You were involved in sealing the Nine-Tails. If the Jinchuriki weren't there, the balance of the Tailed Beasts would collapse. Using the Reaper Death Seal can permanently seal the other half of the Nine-Tails and me. So, the other half of the Nine-Tails..."
