Naruto: Sukuna Jinchuriki, I am Uchiha.

You've let me down, you've wasted the last chance I gave you...

Chapter 63 Naruto

At both ends of the massive Kannabi Bridge stood the pinnacle of the ninja world's fighting power.

"Hehe, Hiruzen Sarutobi, it's been a long time."

Onoki hovered in mid-air, with Huang Tu, Lao Zi, and other elites from Iwagakure standing beside him.

Behind them, deep in the forest, the air was filled with dust and smoke.

A sense of impending doom rose.

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing something strange about Onoki in front of him.

However, for experts of their caliber, transformation techniques cannot escape their senses. So, what is this strange feeling...?

Onoki glanced at Kushina in the crowd, his eyes turning cold.

"You've really given us a lot of trouble. We still haven't completely wiped out the Vortex Clan."

Ever since he exchanged information with the Third Raikage and learned that Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was a red-haired woman, he almost broke his back from anger.

I've held a grudge ever since.

"You damned old man!! What did you say?!"

Enraged, Kushina's red hair flew wildly, and her violent chakra overflowed, nearly knocking over those around her.

On his fair cheeks, there were faint traces of animal whiskers.

"Calm down, Kushina!"

Minato quickly went to her side to comfort her. Although there was no risk of her going berserk for no reason, if Kushina became too emotional, the Nine-Tails could still affect her a little.

"He's just trying to provoke you, don't fall for it!"

While comforting her, Minato was also prepared to assist Kushina in sealing the Nine-Tails should any unexpected events occur.

Kushina breathed heavily for a few moments, trying to calm herself down.

His eyes were fixed on Onoki, his voice icy: "You old geezer, I'm going to kill you!"

"That's fine, Onoki."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice, "Have a little bit of the demeanor of a Kage."

"Since things have come to this point, I won't advise you to surrender."

The Monkey King was directly held in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand in the form of a magic staff.

"This time, you'll be the one to lose again!"

Seeing Onoki remain motionless, his mustache twitching with amusement, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt an increasingly ominous premonition.

“Old man Hiruzen, I have no interest in you.”

Onoki sneered, "You've disappointed me too much by letting that Uchiha brat grow up."

"I didn't originally intend to do something like this, helping you deal with the Uchiha clan or something..."

"Be grateful to me, just like when we helped you solve the problem of the Land of Whirlpools that year, allowing you to successfully keep the last descendants of the Whirlpool Clan."

On the battlefield, a sudden heartbeat sound rang out.

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly looked at Kushina and shouted, "Kushina! We really have no time to deal with the affairs of the Land of Whirlpools, and even Konoha is engulfed in war!"

"Lord Mito is aware of this matter as well!"

Kushina covered her head tightly, and wisps of crimson chakra oozed out.

“I know…I know…Grandma Mito told me too…”

Minato! Take Kushina away! She doesn't need to fight!

Hiruzen Sarutobi made a quick decision: given the current situation, Kushina could no longer be allowed to stay here.

Once the Nine-Tails goes berserk, it goes without saying whether it will kill Konoha or Iwagakure first.

Damn it, it's precisely because I was worried about this happening that I didn't want the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to go to the battlefield!

The Nine-Tails is too uncontrollable!

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned and glared angrily at Onoki...

Peng... Peng... Peng...

The elite Iwagakure members surrounding Onoki suddenly exploded.

It is... a shadow clone.

How could that be? The discovery of over ten thousand hidden rocks is absolutely real!

Onoki crossed his arms and solemnly said, "Guess how many of us went to the Cloud Village battlefield and how many infiltrated Konoha?"

"Behind me are 15,000 Iwa ninja, all of whom are prepared to perish together!"

"You can also try having that Flying Thunder God brat lead you to chase after us. It won't be that easy to fool you. We haven't gone far yet..."

"Ha ha……"

"shut up!!"

As the magic staff extended, Onoki made no attempt to dodge, and with a smile, uttered his final words.

"Kushina, why are you the only one who survived?"

"Because you are the most suitable person to be the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki!"

With a bang, Onoki's shadow clone was destroyed.

A black and red pillar of chakra shot into the sky!

"Kushina!"

Minato called out Kushina's name loudly, pressed his hand against her abdomen from behind, and tried his best to cast a seal.

Three tails...

"Minato...I know...I know..."

Kushina's voice was extremely hoarse.

"I know this isn't Konoha's fault... but..."

"Why... am I the only one who survived..."

'Didn't that old man tell you... because only you can be my cage!'

'Do you think Hiruzen Sarutobi is some kind of good person? If he could save you, couldn't he save one more?!'

"Let me out, and I'll help you kill every single person who destroyed the Land of Whirlpools!"

Of course, before that, I must first kill the reincarnation of Uchiha Madara!

This is truly a perfect opportunity to break the seal!

Kushina has gradually gotten used to life in Konoha.

As her body grows, she will be able to completely suppress the Nine-Tails.

The prerequisite is emotional stability.

Restraining the Nine-Tails isn't as simple as just locking it up and then ignoring it. If you can't maintain your inner resolve, the Nine-Tails might find a way to break through at any time.

The seal on Naruto's body is an enhanced version of the Eight Trigrams Seal, with Minato's own chakra also acting as the final lock inside.

After so many steps, even half of the Nine-Tails can still influence Naruto when he's emotionally unstable.

Defeating the Nine-Tails and sealing the Nine-Tails are two different things.

To put it more vividly, you can kill someone with a single stab, but restraining them is not so simple.

If we don't consider using the power of the Tailed Beasts, the Amber Purification Bottle from Kumogakure is the most perfect suppressor.

After all, it is a Six Paths Ninja Tool.

In the current situation, they see Iwagakure ninjas charging into the distance, stretching as far as the eye can see.

All the eyes of the Konoha ninja turned to Hiruzen Sarutobi, awaiting his command.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was terribly gloomy.

Kushina needed to be comforted, but Iwagakure had already launched their attack, and there was simply no time for that.

The whereabouts of Onoki and the others are also very important...

Jiraiya...the village...

With Koharu and Danzo on the other side of the village, even if Onoki's target is the village, they can hold it off for a while.

But what about the Cloud Hidden Battlefield...?

If Onoki went there, he must have reached an agreement with the Third Raikage.

Take a deep breath.

He made a decision.

"Kushina! Calm down! You, Minato, and Orochimaru go to reinforce the northern front!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi roared.

"Jiraiya, Kagami, and countless other Konoha ninja are waiting for you!"

"This is the village that Lady Mito protected her whole life. No matter what you think, Lady Mito's love for you is absolutely genuine!"

"The Jonin squad, three commanders will remain; the rest will return to the village."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared straight ahead, gripping his Ruyi Jingu Bang tightly.

"If I die here, appoint Orochimaru as the Fourth Hokage."

"Excuting an order!"

Chapter 64 Thunder!

The northern border of the Land of Fire.

Dozens of ninjas wearing Cloud Village headbands stood on the edge of the cliff.

Leading the group was the Third Raikage.

These are the absolute elites of Kumogakure. Even the worst among them are special Jonin with special abilities, as well as the AB duo whose strength has greatly improved.

The Eight-Tails revived faster than expected, and its respawn location was still the Thunderfall Cloud in the Land of Lightning.

After successfully suppressing him, Killer Bee volunteered to become a Jinchūriki and inherit the pain his master had endured.

Killer Bee is an unprecedented genius in Kumogakure.

He has reached the level of a perfect Jinchūriki, which only exists in theory!

Ai gazed at the distant Konoha camp.

"Father, Uchiha Kagami has returned, and the main force of Konoha ninja has gathered in the Land of Grass... Can we trust the person who gave us this news?"

The Third Raikage, with his eyes straight ahead and arms crossed, said calmly, "Onoki also received the news at the same time."

"There are very few people who are capable of doing this."

"It's very likely the same guy who gave us the tip a few years ago, haha, stirring up trouble from the shadows."

As they were talking, the sound of wind breaking through the clouds came from above.

Onoki arrived with two figures.

Two Kage, three Jinchuriki, and dozens of powerful ninjas...

This lineup is even more impressive than the one used to hunt down the Second Hokage!

"Just to kill that brat, is it really necessary to sacrifice so many ninjas...?"

Old Zi's expression was not good.
