Chapter 251 The Courage to Protect
The quiet flow of cold air permeated the air, encouraging the restless temper.
The Nine-Tails, with only half of its power, stood with its ears erect and stared sharply at the unarmed Jinchuriki, wanting only to kill her and release the remaining power that belonged to it.
Its body is pressed against the ground, its limbs bent, ready to attack at any time.
The beast's rough breathing was particularly prominent in the silent night. Haruko rolled her throat nervously and her body tensed as if facing a great enemy.
The Nine-Tails' chakra was too powerful, and she wasn't sure she could fight it.
The one who broke the deadlock was Minato Namikaze, who had rushed over after settling the children. When he sensed the powerful aura of the Nine-Tailed Fox from afar, he already had a bad feeling.
Now seeing the Nine-Tails in its physical form and still eyeing Kushina covetously, Namikaze Minato had a solemn expression and frowned.
Glancing at Huanchen still there, he said anxiously, "I'll go save her, you cover me."
"Yes!"
When Minato Namikaze threw a kunai with his mark, Kyuubi and Haruko attacked at the same time.
A sharp claw as big as a lake slammed towards the rock where Kushina was standing with a strong wind.
Haruko quickly formed seals with her hands, and countless streams of water emerged from the water surface and swirled directly towards the sharp claw, wrapping around it. The water pierced into the thick flesh like soft blades, slowing down its attack power.
Feeling the real pain, the Nine-Tailed Fox roared towards the sky, and its sharp claws ignited with chakra to evaporate the water it was biting.
Haruko's attack didn't hold the Nine-Tails back for long, but it was enough for Minato Namikaze, known as the Yellow Flash on the battlefield, to bring back Kushina.
Seeing the prey in its mouth being rescued, the Nine-Tailed Fox had a ferocious look on its face, and opened its bloody mouth towards them. In the middle of its sharp fangs, a purple-black energy bomb gathered and kept expanding.
Noticing the movement of the Nine-Tails, Minato Namikaze, who had just stood still, glanced sideways and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Without saying anything more, he handed Kushina in his arms to Huanchen, and released the space-time ninjutsu against every second.
The Tailed Beast Ball, which carried the power to destroy the world, broke away from the Nine-Tails' mouth and rushed straight towards them. The bright light seemed to bring daylight to the world. The blinding light was accompanied by a loud gust of wind, just like the end of the world.
A dark purple crack tore open in mid-air, barely covering the Tailed Beast Ball.
The tight overlap of the cracks glowing with white light made people nervous every minute and every second. Finally, the space-time crack torn open by Minato Namikaze was completely integrated into the Tailed Beast Ball.
A loud explosion and a light as bright as daylight exploded on another hill.
The sounds and noises like lightning and thunder immediately caused a commotion in Konoha. Sensing something was wrong, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately sent people to investigate.
After getting rid of Might Guy with a few words, Hatake Kakashi quickly went to reunite with the team.
The survey mission was taken over by other teams, so Hatake Kakashi had to stay in Konoha. He couldn't hide his anxious eyes and kept looking outside the village, but he saw nothing except a dark green and thick white smoke.
Why is he so flustered...
An inexplicable sense of urgency tightly wrapped around his heart. After thinking it over, Hatake Kakashi gritted his teeth and asked the deputy captain to contact the police department to prepare countermeasures.
He has to go see if Haruko is back!
……
Minato Namikaze looked at the range of the explosion and his expression became even uglier.
If the Nine-Tails continues to attack, in addition to transferring the vigorous chakra, special attention must be paid to the placement of the chakra so that it cannot affect Konoha.
what to do……
Kushina had just been pulled away from the tailed beast, and although the huge chakra unique to the Uzumaki clan saved her life, her body could not withstand the Nine-Tails' re-sealing.
If he continued to allow the Nine-Tails to attack, he would eventually become exhausted and unable to stop the Nine-Tails from attacking Konoha.
"Let me release the King Kong blockade..."
Kushina's weak voice came from Haruko's arms. She looked straight at Minato Namikaze, and her lifeless eyes were full of stubbornness and persistence.
Haruko spoke first, "No, releasing a large amount of chakra will undoubtedly kill you now."
"But only I can..."
"You're not the only one."
The ambiguous words made Kushina a little confused, and she could only look at her with a puzzled look.
When the time came, Haruko no longer concealed her identity.
But Kushina seemed to see the pair of bright black eyes that always looked at her tenderly through the cat mask. She raised her head to look at her in a daze.
"Haru... Haruko-sister?"
Hearing Kushina's name, Namikaze Minato, who was concentrating on deflecting the Nine-Tails' attack, paused and opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
"How can it be……"
Haruko interrupted him, "Save the explanation for later. The Kyuubi must be sealed quickly."
After transferring out another Tailed Beast Ball, Minato Namikaze panted and looked at the Nine-Tails in the distance whose chakra had not weakened at all. His thoughts were in a mess.
The Nine-Tailed Fox must be sealed, what to do...
What should I do to save Kushina...
"Watergate."
Judging from the current situation, this is the only solution. Haruko said word by word, "The other half of the Nine-Tails' chakra is sealed in Naruto's body."
"No!" Kushina was the first to get excited when she heard the proposal.
She used the little strength she had left to grab the clothes on Haruko's arms and tried her best to endure the discomfort in her body. When she repeated the words, there was a hint of pleading in her words.
"Can't……"
"We have no choice." Haruko lowered her head and looked at her seriously.
"Kushina, I know what you're worried about, but please trust yourself and Minato, you can protect Naruto."
Protect... Kushina's grip loosened a little, she lowered her head and tried to think of a better solution, but panic and helplessness swept over her, and her mind went blank.
She bit her lips tightly, sadness gradually appeared in her eyes, and she was unwilling to agree to this method.
No one knows the fate of being a Jinchūriki better than she does, and she doesn't want her children to bear such heavy responsibilities from an early age.
In a trance, Kushina actually recalled the day when she first arrived in Konoha to meet her destiny in this inappropriate situation.
She was pushed towards her fate in ignorance, but what greeted her was a bright and gentle face.
The hands that were grasping hope tightened unconsciously. Kushina raised her head slightly without making a sound. When a face younger than in her memory filled her entire field of vision, a sour feeling burst out in her nose.
The heavy weight of being a Jinchūriki never lessened, but it was the gentle face she met for the first time that gave her the courage to go on.
Kushina's eyes were filled with moisture, protecting...
She can protect, and she can protect it well...right?
And now, it seemed to be confirmed once again that her courage to accept her fate came entirely from this pair of bright black eyes that looked at her tenderly.
Realizing that this was the best solution at the moment, Minato Namikaze wiped his face and finally showed a determined look.
"It can only be this way."
