Snake → Boar → Ram → Rabbit → Dog → Rat → Bird → Horse…
Just as Minato was about to form the final Snake mudra, Lux and Hashirama suddenly appeared beside him.
Minato instantly noticed them.
He immediately stopped the Dead Demon Consuming Seal and activated Hiraishin no Jutsu to disappear in place.
In a blink of an eye, he teleported to Kushina's side with the baby in his arms. His response was so fast that it was startling.
"Who?" Minato shouted.
Under the repeated attacks, his nerves had been stretched to the extreme.
In his heart, he was increasingly horrified by the sudden appearance of Lux and the others.
How is this possible?
Are there enemies?
He had clearly set up barriers.
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen was blocked from the barrier. Who else could silently penetrate the barrier?
Minato almost thought it was the masked man who resembled 'Uchiha Madara' again.
But looking closer, he realized that the three people who came were all extraordinary.
Especially the two, their appearances were almost exactly the same as the First and Second Hokage engraved on the Hokage Monument!
"Brother, the Fourth Hokage can't recognize us?"
Tobirama glanced at him, couldn't help but complain that this 'student of another generation' couldn't recognize him.
What's more, his head was so big and engraved on the Hokage Monument!
"Hahaha. In this era, we should have been dead for a long time. It's normal for people not to recognize us for a while."
Hashirama laughed loudly and didn't mind.
After all, who would have thought that ancestors who had died decades ago would suddenly appear in front of him?
Even if he recognized them, it would be impossible to believe it immediately.
"Shodai, control the Kyuubi first. Kushina won't last long." Lux reminded.
"Yes, yes, let me do it!"
Hashirama didn't make any jokes, he clapped his hands and activated Sage Mode instantly.
"Sage Art: Gate of the Great God!"
Three large red wooden torii gates fell from the sky, stacked on top of each other, and pressed down on the Kyuubi. Instantly sealing its chakra and binding it in place.
The control effect was even far superior to the Adamantine Sealing Chains!
Minato and Kushina were stunned for a moment.
"Is this? Sage mode?"
"So powerful!"
Minato instantly recognized Hashirama's sage mode. He also knew about the sage mode of Mount Myoboku, although he wasn't proficient in it.
But even if all the toads on Mount Myoboku were united, it would be difficult to defeat the Kyuubi!
"A-Are you the First and Second Hokage?"
"Huh! Did you finally recognize me?"
After receiving his answer, Minato was even more shocked.
"How is this possible? Aren't you already…"
"Could it be Impure World Reincarnation?"
Minato certainly didn't expect that the First and Second Hokage, who had died decades ago, were still alive. Then it could only be channeled by some kind of ninjutsu, like the Impure World Reincarnation recorded in the Scroll of Seals.
As for ninjutsu that completely resurrects the dead, no one had ever heard of it in this era.
"Stupid, how can you compare me to that boring puppet!"
"Tobirama, you still left that forbidden scroll?"
Hashirama raised his eyebrows and heard the implication. Tobirama also spread many forbidden techniques like Impure World Reincarnation?
"Brother, I…"
At that moment, the weak Kushina gradually couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground.
"Kushina!"
Minato was in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do.
"Sir, is there any way to save her?" Hashirama immediately turned around and asked.
"It's very simple, just seal the Kyuubi back." Lux gave his answer.
"Ah?"
(°Д°)?
Several people's eyes widened in disbelief.
Wasn't the Jinchuuriki whose Bijuu was separated destined to die? Just seal it back and everything will be fine? Very simple?
"Other Jinchūriki will die shortly after the Bijuu is extracted, and there is no chance to seal the Bijuu back. Only a few people with strong vitality can barely survive for a while. The Uzumaki Clan is a rare example of this."
"What if…" Minato was anxious.
He didn't know Lux, but Hashirama's attitude and the eye technique that seemed to be the Rinnegan were enough to prove that the other party was extraordinary.
But even though it made sense, there was actually no precedent to worry about!
"Yondaime, just listen to Sir. He won't… Well… at least we won't hurt you!"
"This… Alright!"
Minato gritted his teeth and agreed to Lux's proposal. Besides, he didn't have many choices.
Trust Lux once, or continue to activate the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.
The last option, he and Kushina would surely die. The first option, because there was hope to save Kushina, it was definitely worth trying.
What if something went wrong. With Hashirama and Tobirama here, it's impossible to cause greater losses.
In fact, Minato didn't want the newborn Naruto to lose both parents and become an orphan.
"Kushina, you…"
"I'm willing!"
The weak Kushina immediately agreed. She didn't have the energy to distinguish whether the people who suddenly appeared were the previous Hokage. But she was very willing to try the other party's proposal, even if it failed.
It was only she who brought the Kyuubi with her to her death.
Although it might disrupt the balance of the Bijuu in each village, at least it would allow Minato to survive and allow the father to protect Naruto as he grows up.
For Kushina, there was no better ending than this.
After all, she had been prepared to face death!
"Okay. Yondaime, get ready to seal. I will suppress the Kyuubi!"
Hashirama did as he was told.
He clapped his hands again, and two large wooden hands emerged from the ground and pinched the Kyuubi.
The Kyuubi had already recognized Hashirama, and initially, it didn't believe Hashirama could be resurrected, so it struggled desperately to resist.
As the large wooden hands pinched it, the entire fox also felt numb.
Facing the real Senju Hashirama, the Ninja God, how could it still struggle!
The Kyuubi didn't forget that its opponent pinched it with giant hands while shouting that it was too dangerous.
Compared to the Bijuu, this guy is a monster!
Forget it, just lie down.
Soon, the Kyuubi was rubbed into a chakra ball by the two large wooden hands.
Minato also channeled the sealing altar and prepared to take action.
After a while, he cooperated with Hashirama to seal the Kyuubi back into the body of the Jinchuuriki Uzumaki Kushina.
The whole process went smoothly.
This was the first time Minato had seen the Kyuubi so cooperative, docile like a little fox, truly amazing!
