Chapter Ninety-Six: The Night of the Nine-Tails
The sky was cloudless, only the round moon hung there.
At night, Konoha Village is still as peaceful and stable as usual, and the bustling night market becomes lively as the night comes.
"Is this Konoha here? Hometown ...... of Mr. Jiraiya"
Nagato was dressed in a hooded black coat, and his face was hidden under the hat, making it impossible to easily peek into his full appearance, standing above the Hokage Rock, muttering to himself.
This is the highest point of Konoha and offers a panoramic view of the entire Konoha from this location.
A peaceful country, a peaceful village, in his eyes, is a little more obstructive.
Because the peace of these villages is only built on the suffering of small countries, and the so-called peace is in the hands of the people.
Of course, Nagato felt that he didn't need to complain anymore.
As Hanzo said, the life of a ninja is a life of fighting.
You can't use your weakness to try to awaken the enemy's conscience.
As a citizen of a weak country, if you don't want to compromise and surrender, you can only resist and fight. There is nothing left but the will to resist and fight, and there is nothing to lose.
This is the revelation that the deaths of Yahiko and Hanzo brought to themselves.
Nagato often thinks about whether it is right or wrong for him to do this, but he feels that this kind of thinking is too arrogant, because he has not even achieved his goal, and it is too narrow to talk about right and wrong here.
In the world, there is never a path to absolute right and wrong, and human beings are always only on the road of exploration.
If you fail one day, you can only prove that you can only go so far, and you can't resent others, but you just resent your own weakness.
Looking at the scenery of Konoha Village, children are happily running around the streets and playing happily with their friends.
The characteristic food stalls on the roadside attract the favor of passers-by.
Tired ninjas walk shoulder-to-shoulders into a barbecue restaurant, where they drink wine and enjoy delicious food, where they talk freely about their dreams in life.
This kind of peaceful scene is a scene that Nagato has never seen before, and in the past, his Yahiko and others just held the ideal of peace, running back and forth on the battlefield where the war was raging, and rubbing the edge with death.
Will such peace come to the Land of Rain and Rain in the future?
No, it will come! Nagato made up his mind.
It is undoubtedly foolish to talk about right and wrong in the matter of position.
"Nagato-sama, it's almost ready over there."
A white absolute leaned out of Nagato's back and whispered to Nagato.
"Got it. Later, when Ah Fei is informed to use the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye to control the Nine-Tails, summon the Nine-Tails to a farther place. β
Nagato said.
"Why?"
Bai Jue was slightly stunned.
"I don't want to implicate the villagers of Konoha because many of them are not ninjas."
"However, only by summoning the Nine-Tails to the center of Konoha can Konoha be hit to the greatest extent."
Bai Jue said urgently.
"It's just a ninja fight, and it has nothing to do with civilians who don't know ninjutsu."
"Konoha may not think like this on the battlefield of the Land of Rain."
Hakujue thinks Nagato is too pedantic.
After going through such a thing, do you still have such a kind heart?
In this way, there will definitely be a big loss in the future.
Nagato seemed to see through Bai Jue's thoughts, and said in a flat voice, "This is not kindness, nor is it compassion. If I do, then what difference will I have from the Konoha ninja who once ran rampant on the battlefield of the Land of Rain? β
There are wrongs and debts, and Nagato has never seen the world so clearly.
If he really did this, then his own pattern would only be the same as that of Konoha.
How can such a self be qualified to bring peace to this world?
"But I still think it'......"
Bai Jue was still saying something, and Nagato interrupted him lightly:
"There is no peace, there is no power, but violence is simply inflicted on others. Even if you have peace and power, you will also be violent to others. β
"In that case, why do you care about the lives of the Konoha villagers?"
While both are violent, the results are not necessarily the same. I have my principles and practices, and Konoha has my own principles and practices, and that's it. β
Nagato's words were almost final.
Speaking of which, Bai Jue knew that if he continued to question, he would be a little guilty.
"I understand, I'll go and inform Ah Fei. Please wait here, Nagato-sama. β
Bai Jue sighed and dived underground to disappear.
β
The ninjas of the shadows leapt quickly over the rooftop, gathering somewhere.
Eventually, they passed through a secret passage and quietly came to the forest beyond Konoha without a sound.
Coming here, more than a small team, roughly counting, more than twenty shadow ninjas, gathered in this place.
The meeting lasted only less than half a minute, and all twenty members of the shadows dispersed and stood in their own places to prevent anyone from sneaking in.
In a position that the shadows were not aware of, two figures slowly emerged, silently lurking somewhere.
It was a huge rock, blocking the hole in the huge mountain.
On the rocks, a spell for suppression was attached, and a protective barrier was set up to prevent outsiders from entering.
"Is that the place where the Nine-Tails Pillar Force gave birth? It's so easy to dive in. β
"Don't be careless, hurry up and notify Ah Fei to come over. After all, the opponent is that yellow flash, and there are so many dark parts, it is not so easy to deal with. If necessary, Nagato-sama will also take action. β
The woman's cry of pain during childbirth passed directly through the rocks where the enchantment was arranged, and it was transmitted to the outside as if it were nothing.
Let Bai Jue, who is in charge of the investigation, know that this is the place where the Nine-Tails Zhu Li gave birth.
Avoiding the sight of the shadows is not particularly difficult for them, and the way they infiltrate is imperceptible to ordinary perceptual ninjutsu.
But the next action is the key, the opponent is the yellow flash of the defeated Iwakuin and Yunyin troops, it is actually difficult to live up to the fame, with such a ninja as an opponent, you must be ready to fight desperately at any time.
β
The inside of the cave used for childbirth is vacuum, and the space is huge, and various medical facilities are prepared in advance.
On the bed board, the whirlpool Kushina, the strongest tailed beast nine-tailed beast sealed in his body, twisted his body there in pain, layers of sweat flowed from his face, and his face was wrinkled in pain.
Mizuto pressed his hands to the navel of his wife's open clothes.
With Kushina's navel as the center, the sealing spell unfolded there, emitting a strange red light, and an evil aura could not be suppressed and overflowed from Kushina's body.
Shuimen's eyes were solemn, and his hands condensed the chakra, forming a sealing technique, suppressing the nine-tailed chakra in his wife's body.
This evil chakra is so powerful that it is beyond his imagination.
He felt his hands very hot, and he felt like he was putting his hands in boiling water, and his face was full of cold sweat just like Jiushina.
Not only is it because of the powerful chakra of the Nine-Tails, which makes him feel pressured, but he is also worried about Kushina's personal safety.
If this force goes berserk at this time, the consequences are really unimaginable.
"Don't be nervous, this is the highest level sealing technique of the Vortex Clan, you just need to maintain it well, and it is impossible for the Nine-Tails to come out and make trouble. You're the Hokage of the village, don't always make such a fuss. β
The woman who was in charge of directing the hospital staff to deliver the baby was already in her fifties, and her face was covered with many wrinkles.
"I know, Biwako-sama, it's just that I'm a little nervous to see Kushina in such pain."
Watergate still tightened his face, not daring to relax.
"Really, as the Hokage, don't panic because of this kind of thing. This is a difficult time that a woman is bound to go through. As a qualified husband, you have to learn to trust your wife, women are not as fragile as you think. β
Lake Biwa teaches Mizumon a lesson in the voice of an elder, or maybe it is because Mizumon underestimates the group of women too much.
Watergate smirked.
Lake Biwa, the full name of Sarufei Lake Biwa.
She is the wife of the third generation of Hokage Ape Fei Hichi, and when he was young, he was also a powerful ninja, and he was also the Kennai suke of the three generations of Hokage, helping him deal with a lot of things.
The tone of the lesson is also comforting Watergate, a woman who belongs to the knife-mouthed tofu-hearted type.
"Jiu Sinai, hold on a little longer, and you'll be fine soon."
Lake Biwa said that it was relaxed, but it was also a little nervous in his heart.
As a ninja, Kushina naturally will not be as fragile as ordinary women, coupled with the strong physique of the Uzumaki clan, giving birth to a child will only be very painful for the women of the Uzumaki clan, and they will not lose their lives due to various accidents.
"Watergate, keep the seal, the child is coming out!"
After a while, Lake Biwa's face became more and more serious.
"Yes!"
Mizumon concentrated, temporarily regarded as Jiu Sinai's cry of pain and did not exist, and wholeheartedly maintained the Nine-Tails Sealing Technique on Jiu Sinai's navel.
The only danger to Kushina's life is that the seal is out of control, allowing the Nine-Tails power to run wild, which is likely to bring the risk of Kushina's life being lost.
β
"The Nine-Tails Pillar Force is really amazing, is it really so painful to give birth to a child? Will it be the same as if I can't poop...... What about the pain called sorrow? β
Bai Jue Ah Fei was wearing a black coat and a mask with strange patterns on his face, and he lowered his head and thought seriously.
"Are you an idiot? How can pooping be the same as having a baby? That's not a thing of the same nature at all, right? β
Bai Jue, who was next to him, complained.
"But...... The feeling of not being able to get out is really frustrating and frustrating. β
Ah Fei said so naturally.
"Because you don't have a excretory system at all."
Bai Jue replied to him seriously.
"I knew that I would ask Madara to install a excretory system for me, so I want to know what it feels like to poop."
Ah Fei sighed.
It sounds like I can't poop, which is a pity.
Beside him, four Konoha Shadow Ninjas fell in a pool of blood, their pupils dilated, and their eyes contained deep shock and fear.
"Hurry up, and if you fail, we'll beat you to."
After hearing this, Ah Fei just shrugged his shoulders and pressed his hands on the huge stone block where the enchantment technique was arranged, and then his body disappeared as if it had merged into it.
The march was some distance ahead, and soon it was around the birthing room.
Although the painful screams of the Nine-Tailed Pillar Force Vortex Jiu Sinai giving birth made people feel very vulnerable, Ah Fei knew that now was the most alarming moment for the yellow flash, and it was not easy to get it.
Just lurking in the soil, waiting for the opportunity to come.
This wonderful opportunity did not make Ah Fei wait too long.
The baby's cry suddenly rang out in the room.
Jiu Sinai, who was on the bed board, gradually calmed down, but his breath was weak, and there was no major problem.
Mizuto and Lake Biwa suddenly showed joy on their faces, and the two female medical ninjas next to them were also relieved.
The nine-tailed chakra filled this room, and when they were delivering the baby, they felt a big mountain pressing on their bodies, and they couldn't breathe.
"Congratulations, Shidaime. He's a very healthy boy. β
Lake Biwa holds the newborn baby and gently coaxes the crying baby.
"Thank you, Biwako-sama."
Watergate also cried with joy, and his heart was greatly relieved.
"Then again, does this kid have a name?"
Lake Biwa asked.
"Yes, his name is Naruto. It's the name of the protagonist in the book of Mr. Jiraiya.γ β
Watergate replied.
"Self-reliant...... The protagonist's name? β
The corners of Biwako's mouth twitched, and the expression on his face became subtle.
If she's not mistaken, the stinky boy from Jiraiya wrote it in a forbidden bookstore that is forbidden to be read under the age of eighteen.
"Yes."
Mizuto didn't notice Lake Biwa's subtle expression.
"It's good that you've decided."
Lake Biwa came to Kushina with the child in her arms and asked her to see the child she gave birth to with her own eyes.
"Naruto...... It's so nice......"
Kushina opened her eyes weakly, with a happy smile on her face, and looked at the baby in Biwako's arms, her eyes full of love.
After a while, Lake Biwa said, "Okay, the child has been born safely, and the follow-up needs to be dealt with." β
"I see."
Watergate nodded solemnly.
The next thing to deal with is to stabilize the seal of the Nine-Tails.
Previously, because of the birth of a child, the sealing technique of sealing the Nine-Tails on Jiu Sinai's body was greatly weakened, and the chakra was still floating out as if it were nothing, and it must be suppressed as soon as possible, and the seal should be stabilized again, so that the Nine-Tails could be honest.
Lake Biwa hugged the baby in his arms and walked to the side with a slight smile.
"Kushinai, I'll help you stabilize the seal."
Mizumon took a deep breath and prepared to cast a spell.
"Excuse me, Watergate."
"It's okay, you're the hardest one."
Suppressing the excitement of having an heir, Mizumon focused his attention on the seal of the Nine-Tails, and was about to start casting the sealing technique on Jiu Sinai, when a terrible scream suddenly startled Mizumon and Jiu Sinai.
The panicked cries of two female medical ninjas were heard, and they looked at Lake Biwa in a pool of blood with horrified expressions, and next to them stood a mysterious man dressed in black and wearing a mask on his face.
The breath was gloomy and cold, and I didn't know when I was standing there.
This mysterious person is naturally Ah Fei.
He deliberately chose this time to make a move, because this moment was the time when Watergate and the others were most relaxed, and they would not think that someone would attack at such a time.
"Lake Biwa-sama!"
Mizumon's pupils shrank, and when he saw Lake Biwa lying there, the expressions of surprise and anger on his face suddenly intertwined, and he glared at Ah Fei fiercely.
"Who are you?"
"That's a boring question, Lord Hokage. However, your child is in my hands, and it is best not to act rashly. β
Ah Fei smiled, holding the baby in his arms, with a threatening meaning.
"You bastard, let Naruto go!"
The water gate was about to make a move, and there was a cry from Kushinai next to him.
The strange red chakra erupted from Kushina's body, and terrible cracks appeared in the surrounding walls, and the thick stone walls could not withstand the explosive impact of this red chakra.
"Not good, Nine-Tails!"
Shuimen suddenly calmed down, and wanted to perform the sealing technique, first stabilize the Nine-Tails Chakra in Jiu Sinai's body.
Seeing this, Ah Fei knew that he couldn't let Shuimen's sealing technique be successfully cast, otherwise the plan to release the Nine-Tails to make Konoha lose his combat power would become very difficult.
"Four generations of Hokage, let me see if you love your children more or your wife!"
Without mercy, Ah Fei threw the baby in his hand against the wall in the distance.
"Don't! Naruto! Watergate, quickβ"
The afterglow of his eyes saw Naruto flying towards the wall, Kushina shouted anxiously, but there was nothing he could do, the time and space of the Nine-Tails Chakra, plus the fact that he had just given birth to a child, was extremely weak, and he couldn't stop it at all.
At the moment when Kushina shouted, Mizumon's figure disappeared in an instant, the soles of his feet stomping on the wall, stabilizing there, holding Naruto firmly in his arms.
Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the space around him quickly distorted.
Watergate's face changed in shock, and the deadly danger struck, so he didn't hesitate to dodge to the side.
In the original wall, there was a shocking hole.
No gravel fell, it was as if a piece had been stripped off and disappeared from there.
This is...... Time and space ninjutsu? Watergate's eyes were slightly shocked.
When he turned his head to look, Ah Fei had already disappeared into the room, along with Jiu Sinai, who was originally lying on the bed.
"Damn it!"
Watergate's face was gloomy, and there was a certain murderous aura in the blue.
Ah Fei's chakra is difficult to perceive with chakra.
But Ah Fei took Jiu Sinai with him, and because of the flaw in the seal in his body, the Nine-Tails Chakra spread out irrepressibly, and it was easy for the water gate to sense which direction Jiu Sinai was taken in.
It's just that he has to take Naruto to a safe place before he can pursue the enemy without any scruples.
β
Set against the backdrop of a bleak full moon.
In the dark forest, filled with blood-red clouds, it was the chakra of the Nine-Tails, which was spreading uncontrollably to the surrounding area at a terrifying speed, and it couldn't be stopped at all.
"Really, it would be nice if it could be brought to the center of Konoha Village and released."
Ah Fei carried Jiu Sinai, who had lost the power to resist, and stopped in a clearing and muttered a word of complaint.
For him, it can cause a huge sensation, and how many people die is not in the scope at all.
Anyway, he is not a human being, and in his eyes, how many human deaths are just a number.
It's just Nagato's order, and they can't disobey it.
"However, the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye is really easy to use, and this woman directly controlled it with illusion. This distance should be far enough, if there are still civilians killed or injured at that time, then it has nothing to do with me. β
Jiu Sinai, who was caught in the illusion, was confused and couldn't understand the meaning of Ah Fei's words at all.
Put Kushina on the ground, the opposite face is sluggish, the chakra in the body is disordered, and the nine-tailed chakra also takes the opportunity to detonate, wanting to get out of Kushina's body.
"Don't be in a hurry, Nine-Tails, I'll set you free right away, under my kaleidoscope writing wheel. Also, I'm sorry, the fourth generation Hokage, you're welcome to your wife. β
Ah Fei laughed and stretched out his palm towards Jiu Xinnai's body.
- Running through the woods, Watergate's face was anxious, but his heart did not lose his sense of proportion.
The chakra of Kushina stopped, that is, the enemy did not go too far.
The aura of the Nine-Tails Chakra is too recognizable to the Water Gate, it is like a light in the darkness, illuminating the path of pursuit for the Water Gate.
Although Watergate did not know what the enemy's purpose was, it must not allow the enemy to mess around.
Moreover, the pupil that performed the space-time ninjutsu just now ...... Is it a writing wheel? Watergate secretly guessed in his heart,
The enemy's eyes are indeed similar to the Sharingan, but they are not the basic Magatama pattern.
If that is also the type of writing wheel eye, it can only be one possibility - kaleidoscope writing wheel eye.
The supreme pupil technique that surpasses the ordinary writing wheel eye.
Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eyes, this is not a secret to the Water Gate, in the collection room of the Hokage Building, in the codex left by the second Hokage Senju, there are a lot of secrets about writing wheel eyes.
A lot of research has been done on the writing wheel.
Among them, there is the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye, which is not a more advanced writing wheel eye with the basic magatama as the figure.
If you encounter such an Uchiha ninja, be extra careful.
This is recorded in the Codex of the second Hokage, and Mizumon thought that it had always been an ethereal legend, but he didn't expect it to be real.
While Watergate was thinking about how to respond, a powerful chakra reaction appeared within his perceptual range.
Watergate turned his head to look to the side, and the blazing and violent wind blew everything away.
"HRE Celestial Sign!"
The earth was torn apart, the giant trees were reduced to broken wood, and the water gate could not stop the sudden violent wind, and the body was bounced out with the land and the broken wood.
Shuimen adjusted his body in the air, but he still fell to the ground in a more embarrassed position, looking forward with a heavy face.
Nagato appears in a mysterious black coat and hides his face in the darkness due to his hat.
But the meaning of hostility is very clear.
"Don't think about taking a step forward until the Nine-Tails come out."
Nagato admonished Mizuto in a calm tone.
Is the target the Nine-Tails in Kushina's body? Watergate narrowed his eyes slightly, and his breath sank.
Without saying a word, the water gate vanished from its place, leaving only a golden light that brought death.
When he reappeared, he had already appeared behind Nagato, holding the three-pronged kunai in one hand and a blue chakra sphere that rotated irregularly in the other, and pressed it mercilessly towards Nagato's back.
Rumble!
The powerful repulsion that shattered everything around him, along with the attack, Mizumon's body once again flew uncontrollably in the opposite direction.
As a golden light swept by, Mizuto broke away from the range of repulsion and returned to the same place, looking at Nagato with a frown.
Nagato's bizarre repulsive ninjutsu made him feel tricky, and he was not an opponent who could be easily solved.
His body couldn't withstand that kind of impact, and if he didn't use the space-time ninjutsu to break away, he would probably be injured by that move.
"I almost didn't even notice that the kunai who was there in ambush connected to the space-time ninjutsu in the first place. It's really yours, the four generations of Hokage. No wonder Chiba Shiraishi wants to say, when I fight you, I have to be extra careful with your ninjutsu. β
Nagato said with palpitations.
Fortunately, he kept an eye on it and did not relax because of his advantage, otherwise he would have been seriously injured at that time.
"What!?"
When Watergate heard an incredible name, his eyes immediately widened and he felt incredulous.
Suddenly, Mizumon sensed a huge conspiracy looming over Konoha.
Chiba Shiraishi! This name is all too familiar to Pratunam.
Could it be that this attack on Kushina was also for ...... Watergate couldn't imagine it.
Before Watergate could open his mouth, clouds gathered in the sky, and rainless thunder flashed among the clouds, rumbling with a deafening sound.
Rumble!
The roar of thunder was mixed with the mad roar of the beast.
The blood-clouded chakra surged like a tsunami, making both Mizumon and Nagato put aside the idea of fighting and couldn't help but look there.
Dust and smoke were not far away, and the roar of monsters could be heard from there.
Nine tails danced and rolled in the sky like a nine-headed python, the earth cracked, sweeping across the forest, the wind and clouds changed color, and the storm hit wave after wave, and the sky seemed to tremble and shake.
