Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 302 Naruto Escapes Danger

"Ah~"

After realizing that what was happening before her was not an illusion, Kushina rolled her eyes, let out a mournful cry, and fell backward.

Before he even fell, his body vanished with a "bang".

The chakra that Minato Namikaze and Kushina left inside Naruto can be seen as something similar to a shadow clone.

Thanks to the Uzumaki clan's magical sealing technique, these "shadow clones" do not disappear after the original body dies, and they also have additional ways to be triggered.

The trigger condition for the chakra left by Minato Namikaze is that Naruto intends to break the seal of the Nine-Tails.

Kushina left behind the trigger condition that Naruto had already broken the Eight Trigrams Seal and was now preparing to seize the Tailed Beast's chakra.

The difference between this mode and the Shadow Clone Technique is that the chakra is not divided equally, and there is no extra chakra to allow one to solidify into a physical form; it can only exist in the spiritual space.

The similarity is that, like the Shadow Clone Technique, this mode will disappear directly when it suffers a heavy blow or its chakra is exhausted, and after disappearing, it will return to the original body with that part of the memory.

Kushina suddenly disappeared with a "bang" because the current scene was too terrifying and stimulating, causing her mental state to explode and exceeding the limit that her shadow clone could withstand.

"W-What happened??"

Naruto, in his true form, stared blankly as Kushina suddenly appeared and then disappeared, even stopping his attack on Minato Namikaze.

"Naruto, your mom's gone crazy."

Minato Namikaze took a deep breath and explained what had just happened to Naruto as gently as possible.

"oh."

Naruto regained his senses and launched another attack.

"That despicable enemy not only impersonated my dad to ambush me, but also cursed me with such filth!"

If I don't drill you to death today, I'll be unworthy of being Kakashi-sensei's disciple! Kakashi-sensei has wasted his time teaching me the Thousand Years of Death!

Prepare to die!!!

Naruto launched another furious attack.

[Naruto, stop right now!!]

After Kushina disappeared, the Nine-Tails, which had just broken free from the Adamantine Chains, hurriedly called out to Naruto.

Although Kurama (the Nine-Tails) really wanted to see Minato Namikaze being tormented by his own son, now was not the time to enjoy that pleasure.

If Naruto really manages to blow up Minato Namikaze, and he's gone like Kushina was, then they're truly doomed.

They still need Minato Namikaze to get them out of the crisis.

"Nine-Tails, what are you doing? If I burrow this guy to death, he might return to his main body as a shadow clone with his memories, and that guy outside will reveal a weakness, allowing us to escape."

Naruto looked at Kurama, who had called out to him, with a puzzled expression.

[You idiot brat, what happened to following my orders?]

[This guy wasn't sent by those Corpse Bone Pulse brats outside, calm down!]

[Hey, Eternal Girl, I've got Naruto to release you and give you control. Hurry up and escape the Shikotsumyaku brats' attack with his outer body, okay?]

[You wouldn't want Naruto to have a huge, transparent hole poked in his body, would you?]

"it is good."

Minato Namikaze agreed with a complicated expression.

He is both upset and happy right now.

It's such a wonderful thing that Naruto has such a good relationship with Kurama and trusts Kurama so much, and Kurama is doing its best to help Naruto.

But ironically, he was a consumable item used to witness the bond between Naruto and the Nine-Tails.

[Naruto, leave it to him. Trust me.]

"All right."

Naruto released the Shadow Clone Jutsu and released Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze sighed.

He didn't say anything more to Naruto.

At this point, saying "I'm your father" won't work; it will only make Naruto feel like he's still provoking him.

What a coincidence!

There was an enemy outside who sounded a lot like him, and he just happened to use that phrase to ambush Naruto.

He didn't have much chakra left, only enough to release one sealing technique.

It was originally intended to help Naruto strengthen the Nine-Tails seal after it was triggered.

That was just interrupted.

And it seems there's no need to reinforce the seal now.

"Nine-Tails, put away your chakra, I'm about to make my move."

Minato Namikaze spoke up.

[OK.]

Nine-Tails agreed.

There was no countdown; after only a slight pause, Kurama instantly withdrew its tailed beast chakra.

As a tailed beast that was forced to share a bed with Minato Namikaze for many years, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) was very familiar with Minato's speed and reaction time, and did not need any reminders.

as predicted.

The same old tricks.

First, the tailed beast cloak expands the restraints, then suddenly releases the half-tailed beast transformation, thus gaining temporary freedom of movement for the hands and feet.

Naruto just threw a shuriken with a string attached, trying to pull himself away, but he failed.

just now……

Minato Namikaze, controlling Naruto's body, reached into his ninja tool pouch behind him and pulled out a shuriken.

With just a touch, the words "Sword of Endurance and Love" appeared on the swords in hand.

Without hesitation, Minato Namikaze threw his shuriken into the distance.

The moment he threw it, Naruto's figure disappeared and reappeared beside one of the shuriken, catching it as it flew at high speed. He then threw it again into the distance and disappeared once more, reappearing even further away.

"What a fast man."

Before Kimimaro could react, Naruto had already disappeared.

The Sound Four were in an uproar when they saw this.

"Isn't this the Flying Thunder Formation we're currently practicing?"

"This isn't the Flying Thunder Formation, it's the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique!"

"What?! The Flying Thunder God Technique of the Fourth Hokage? It's clearly the Second Hokage's! Can't you guys respect the Second Hokage's copyright?"

"Don't worry about that useless stuff. Can someone tell me how the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki can use the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's a case of the son following in his father's footsteps. It's not surprising that Minato Namikaze's son would be involved too, is it?"

"Idiot, if he really knew how, why didn't he use it at first? Why did he wait until Kimimaro had gone in several times before using it? What was he doing? Did he think Kimimaro was rewarding him?"

"You old hag, your thoughts are so filthy!"

"Get lost, you're the filthy one!"

Kimimaro glanced at the four people arguing about something meaningless, sighed, and released the cursed seal.

He was still too weak; even if he racked his brains and abandoned his moral bottom line, he couldn't stop the other party.

Regarding Amegakure Village.

Orochimaru did not choose to send reinforcements after receiving Kimimaro's request for help.

Whether Naruto seeks out Sasuke or not is irrelevant to him and Amegakure.

Orochimaru only had Kabuto Yakushi activate the monitoring to check and make sure nothing unexpected happened; otherwise, he didn't need to do anything else.

On the streets of Amegakure.

Kushina, Rin, and Hanabi, along with several other female ninjas, were strolling around after their training.

Suddenly, Kushina received a memory image in her mind, her eyes widened, then she rolled her eyes and fainted.

"?"

Hanabi lifted Kushina, who had collapsed on top of her, with both hands, looking puzzled. "What happened? Does Kushina-nee also have a tendency to faint easily, just like Onee-sama?"
