Chapter 167 History will not repeat itself!

The night is as dark as ink, deep and boundless, like a huge black curtain covering the earth.

The faint moonlight shines through the clouds, as ethereal as a veil, but it cannot conceal the tense atmosphere brought about by the impending crisis.

Uzumaki Kushina was unaware of it, as if she was being controlled by an invisible hand.

Was transferred to a hidden cave.

This cave is hidden among the mountains and forests, and the surrounding environment is so quiet that it makes people feel a little mysterious and uneasy.

Around the cave, a barrier created with exquisite craftsmanship emits a faint light, like twinkling stars.

These lights seem to contain endless power as they intertwine with each other.

It formed an indestructible barrier, as if it was the last line of defense to protect life.

In this quiet night, a wonderful transformation of life is quietly taking place.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, a clear and melodious cry broke through the night sky.

A new life is born!

He is Uzumaki Naruto, the child who carries the hope for the future of Konoha Village.

At this moment, Kushina and Minato's faces simultaneously revealed an expression of joy that could not be described in words.

This joy comes not only from the fact that they have become parents, but also from the fact that they see the fruit of their love being born into the world.

I felt the deep bond that came from blood ties.

At the same time, this is also their emotional sustenance of expectations and yearnings for future life.

"Wow, haha! This is awesome! From this moment on, I'm going to be a father!" Namikaze Minato said with an ecstatic face, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement.

Lake Biwa, looking at this new life, couldn't help but sigh: "This is a little man full of vitality!"

Her eyes revealed her expectation and hope for the future.

Minato was full of joy and was about to pick up Naruto, but Biwako got there first and gently held the child in front of Kushina.

"Naruto... I can finally see you in person..." Kushina said in a very weak voice, her eyes full of tenderness and love.

Although she looked very exhausted at the moment, her face was still filled with a happy smile.

"Next, please make sure you take a good rest and recuperate!" Minato said softly, his eyes full of concern.

Hearing her husband's caring words, Kushina nodded slightly, indicating that she was doing well at the moment.

However, at this moment, a sudden shrill scream came from not far away, breaking the originally quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

A shocking scene appeared before their eyes: Lake Biwa and another woman were lying lifeless in a pool of blood, with no signs of life.

At this moment, Uzumaki Naruto was being hugged tightly by a mysterious man wearing a tiger mask.

The tiger-skin masked man made a deep and threatening voice: "Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, get away from this Jinchūriki immediately! Otherwise, this child will only have one minute left to live!"

Namikaze Minato widened his eyes, his heart filled with astonishment and confusion: "How on earth did he break through the many barriers here? This guy... who is he?"

Countless questions came to mind, but the most urgent thing at the moment was to protect Naruto's safety.

At this moment, Kushina felt a heart-wrenching pain as the seal of the Nine-Tails in her body loosened.

She clenched her teeth and cold sweat dripped down her forehead.

"The seal of the Nine-Tails has not been completed yet..." Namikaze Minato was extremely anxious and at a loss for a moment.

"Don't hesitate any longer! Get away from the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki as soon as possible. Don't you worry about the safety of this little guy?"

The tiger-skin masked man spoke again, and the sense of oppression in his tone became stronger.

"Wait! You... calm down, he is just an innocent child!"

Minato's face was filled with anxiety and anger, his voice trembling a little due to the fluctuations of emotions.

It happened in a flash. The man with the tiger mask waved his arm and threw Uzumaki Naruto in his arms into the air.

Then, his figure disappeared from the spot like a ghost in the blink of an eye, leaving only a faint afterimage.

Minato Namikaze took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and adjusted his state at an astonishing speed.

In an instant, he accurately caught Naruto who was still teetering in the air.

Minato skillfully used the magical power of the Thunder God Technique to instantly transfer those deadly detonating tags to his home.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to freeze.

Accompanied by a shocking and deafening explosion, raging flames suddenly rose into the sky like a ferocious fire dragon, rushing straight into the sky.

The dazzling fire instantly illuminated half of the dark night sky, making everything around it appear exceptionally clear.

After completing this, Minato carefully placed Uzumaki Naruto in a relatively safe place.

He squatted down and gently stroked Naruto's head, his eyes full of love and determination: "Naruto, stay here for a while, Dad will be back to pick you up soon. I have to go save your mother now."

With that, Minato turned and sped off in another direction.

On the other side, Uzumaki Kushina was being hung high up by the mysterious man wearing a tiger-skin mask, hanging in the center of a huge stone pillar.

Her face was as pale as snow, and her breath was as weak as a candle in the wind, but there was still an unyielding light in her eyes.

"What...exactly do you want to do?!" Kushina asked with difficulty, using all her strength.

Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, carrying endless pain and resentment.

Facing Kushina's question, the tiger-masked man smiled coldly and replied in an extremely cold tone: "Humph, it's very simple. I will pull the Nine-Tails out of your body and completely destroy this so-called Konoha Village!"

His words revealed an uncontrollable madness and evil that made people shudder.

"What did you say?!" Kushina screamed in disbelief, her voice full of astonishment and fear.

She opened her eyes wide and stared at the person in front of her, as if she could not accept this cruel fact.

"Yes, you usually have Minato guarding you, but at this moment, he has been moved away by my strategy."

"Because you are giving birth, the chakra flow in your body is abnormal, causing the sealing power of the Nine-Tails to be greatly weakened." The man in the tiger mask said in a cold tone without any emotion.

His eyes hidden behind the mask flashed coldly, revealing a deep calculation and complacency.

Obviously, all of this was under his control, and this opportunity was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him, for which he had already carefully planned and waited for a long time.

Before he finished speaking, the man in the tiger-skin mask quickly formed seals and muttered something.

Along with a powerful energy fluctuation, the seal that originally bound the Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly collapsed.

At the same time, he opened the Mangekyō Sharingan and used his unique eye power to successfully control the Nine-Tails after it was released.

"Come out! Nine-Tails! Follow my orders and head towards Konoha Village!" The man in the tiger mask shouted loudly, and at the same time gave orders to the Nine-Tails through the Sharingan.

In an instant, the gigantic Nine-Tailed Fox broke free from the seal.

After roaring to the sky, he followed the masked man's instructions and rushed towards Konoha Village with his huge body.

At this moment, Minato Namikaze finally arrived at the scene. He anxiously told Kushina about Naruto's current condition.

Then without hesitation he used the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, instantly transferring Kushina to where Naruto was.

"Minato...you must find a way to stop the Nine-Tails and that hateful guy as soon as possible!" Kushina held Minato's hand tightly and warned with a firm look in her eyes.

She is fully aware of the seriousness of the crisis. If the situation cannot be contained in time, the consequences will be disastrous.

In the mansion in the back mountains of Konoha.

The bright moonlight sprinkled like mercury in the spacious and quiet courtyard, as if casting a mysterious veil over the entire world.

In this quiet atmosphere, Yuxi and Kaguya Otsutsuki were holding kettles, carefully watering the tender flowers and plants in the yard.

Their movements were gentle and graceful, as if they were protecting an invaluable treasure.

A breeze blew by, bringing with it a strange smell.

Kaguya frowned slightly, stopped what she was doing, turned to look at Yuxi beside her, and asked softly: "Sister Yuxi, do you feel it? This chakra..."

Yu Xi carefully sensed it, and after a moment, she whispered: "This feeling... seems to be... that little pet of Nine-Tailed Fox?"

"Kushina... I didn't expect that the plot, which I thought would take some time to unfold, would unfold so quickly..."

"As long as I'm here, history won't repeat itself!" Yu Xi thought to herself.
