Chapter 536
[“No wonder A Fei wanted to disguise himself as Uchiha Madara. Before the Nine-Tails Rebellion, he was the only Uchiha who was most likely to do such a thing.”]
[A Fei began his action. In the sealed space, the Nine-Tails, which was firmly fixed on a stone ball by Kushina, instantly lost its self-awareness under the influence of the pupil power. With the rapid collapse of the seal, the Nine-Tails broke free from the restraints and rushed out of Kushina's body. 】
【After completing the control of the Nine-Tails, A Fei immediately set out to move towards Konoha, but unexpectedly, Kushina, who was lying on the stone pillar due to the loss of the tailed beast, struggled to get up and stop A Fei. Seeing this, A Fei immediately sighed: "The people of the Uzumaki clan are really powerful. Even if the tailed beast is taken away, they will not die immediately."】
【"Since you are the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, die at the hands of the Nine-Tails now." As he said this, A Fei controlled the Nine-Tails to slap Kushina with one claw. Fortunately, Minato arrived in time and hugged Kushina at the critical moment and dodged to the top of a big tree. 】
["Wow! Compared to Naruto, his mother's way of sealing the Nine-Tails was so brutal. No wonder the Nine-Tails is so resentful."]
["This is the first time I've seen a Jinchūriki who was extracted from a tailed beast and didn't die on the spot."]
["Your tone sounds like you've seen Jinchūriki being extracted from tailed beasts many times."]
["This shows how strong Uzumaki's vitality is. I even suspect that if Tsunade was there at the time, she could have recovered through medical ninjutsu."]
["The Fourth Hokage is very good at seizing opportunities. He always appears at the last minute."]
["It's okay as long as we can catch up."]
["What do you mean by catching up? The Nine-Tails is gone. Uzumaki Kushina is just struggling to survive. She's not far from death."]
【"Minato... Naruto... Is Naruto okay..." Despite her gloomy face, Kushina was still concerned about Naruto's situation at the first time. Knowing his wife's situation well, Minato could only resist showing an ugly expression and chuckled to comfort: "Well, Naruto is okay, he is in a safe place now."】
【"That's great..." After learning that Naruto was fine, Kushina pulled herself together and told Minato what Afei had said before: "Minato... Stop that man and the Nine-Tails immediately... They... are going to Konoha..."】
【Hearing this, Minato immediately glanced at Afei with a cold face, then disappeared on the spot with Kushina in his arms. Afei looked at the two disappearing figures and headed towards Konoha indifferently. 】
["Before controlling the Nine-Tails, the battle between the Fourth Hokage and Afei was already very suspenseful, not to mention that there is now an additional Nine-Tails. No wonder he lost his life in this turmoil."]
["There is no way. A speed-type ninja like the Fourth Hokage is not good at dealing with large life forms like the Nine-Tails. He does not have as much chakra as Naruto, so he cannot use his tactics to suppress the Nine-Tails head-on. In this case, he has to fight hard."]
["He has no means of attacking large tailed beasts, but he can still summon toads. I remember that the summoning beasts of their father and son are the same."]
["It's not that they are of similar size, so why do they have to fight for it?" The fighting power is the same. Gamabunta has a little difficulty dealing with the One-Tail, not to mention the Nine-Tail whose strength far exceeds the One-Tail. "]
【Back in the secret hut, Minato gently hugged Kushina to Naruto and comforted him: "Don't worry about it, just stay with Naruto..."]
【Lying beside Naruto, Kushina, who knew that she would not live long, put her forehead against Naruto and hugged him gently, calling his name with happiness and sadness on her face: "Naruto..."]
【At this time, Minato could no longer pretend to be relaxed. He looked at the two of them with sad eyes, and then took out the cloak of the Fourth Hokage from the closet and put it on. 】
【"Thank you, Minato... Be careful on the road..." Kushina said softly, Minato responded firmly: "I'll be back soon..."】
["Alas, I was so happy just now, but now I'm in the countdown of my life."]
["I can't come back, I won't even be able to see you for the last time!"]
["That's not the case, don't forget to seal the Nine-Tails in Naruto's body, and leave your own and your wife's chakra to Naruto."]
"Mom..." Watching Kushina crying and reading his name, Naruto bit his lower lip with trembling lips, and finally stopped the tears, but it was hard to hide the sadness in his eyes, and lowered his head to ease his emotions.
Jiraiya patted his shoulder, looked at the sky with a solemn expression, and deeply engraved the majestic and heroic figure of his disciple in his mind.
'Minato, compared to me, a failed master, you are worthy of being aIn the name of Hokage, you have successfully protected the village and your child...'
In a dark nest somewhere, A Fei silently looked at the family shrouded in sadness on the sky, especially the woman who was crying while hugging her child. A Fei's originally cold eyes had a slight fluctuation, and it took a long time for him to recover.
"Everything is worth it... For the eternal peace and the happiness of everyone, this is just a trivial price... Even without me, in this desperate ninja world, their family will one day encounter the same sadness, so it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter... As long as the infinite moon reading succeeds, everything is worth it..."
A Fei murmured to himself, as if he was explaining to the people on the sky, and as if he was strengthening his determination.
[In the night sky of Konoha Village, the villagers were immersed in the peaceful atmosphere of the past, and did not realize that a major crisis was about to hit. ]
[However, some powerful ninjas have sensed something is wrong. The Third Hokage, who was processing documents at home, and Kakashi, who was strolling on the street with Kai, suddenly had some ominous premonition. ]
[At the same time, in the Uchiha settlement, the young Itachi also sensed something is wrong and looked up at the sky with a serious face. ]
[At this time, Sasuke, who was held in his arms, seemed to feel something and suddenly cried. Seeing this, Itachi remained alert and coaxed him softly: "Be good... Sasuke, don't cry, no matter what happens, brother will protect you."]
["Wow! The Third Hokage and Kakashi felt something was wrong, how could even Uchiha Itachi sense it!"]
["As expected of someone who has been on the battlefield at a young age, and as expected of someone who has mastered the true power of Uchiha, his performance is so amazing."]
