But the Nine-Tails going berserk, the consequences... cough cough, anyway, making a run for it is the best option.
So the problem now is actually very simple: how to get out of this battlefield.
The question is simple, but the answer is hard to find.
Haori can still fight, but his face is starting to turn pale from blood loss. Lightning chakra does give him a huge combat boost, but the stimulation prevents his wounds from healing. Or rather, the lightning chakra and electricity are exacerbating his blood loss. Now, he can feel a slight dizziness.
There's nothing he can do about it. It's impossible to avoid getting injured on a battlefield like this, especially since Haori has charged into the enemy ranks several times.
The numbness from the lightning chakra greatly reduces Haori's pain, but blood loss is different. He can't expect to have the same powerful self-healing ability as the First Hokage.
So, he's no longer fit to continue fighting. If he faints from excessive blood loss on this battlefield, it means he's done for.
The number of Leaf shinobi in the Sand shinobi's encirclement is dwindling. They need to run, and they need to run fast.
Haori doesn't think he has the same kind of defense as the Raikage.
Let's insert a little side note here. The Raikage is one of Haori's favorite Naruto characters. A long time ago, he wrote a rather professional paper called "A Comparison of the Defensive Effects of Lightning Armor and Barrier Fruit."
"Kushina-sensei, the enemy's main target is you, so staying here really isn't a good idea. We should run." Haori emphasized again.
"So I'm asking how to run!" Kushina's frustration hasn't subsided. She knows it's time to leave the battlefield. Seeing one Leaf shinobi after another die to protect her, her mood is understandable.
She can't help but think, if only Minato were here. With his jutsu, he could escape whenever he wanted, and basically go wherever he wanted.
Unexpectedly, as she thought of Minato, Haori spoke again.
"I have another way that's not really a way to get out of here."
"What way?" Kushina asked. It turns out Haori's last "not really a way" worked quite well. He directly caused Shukaku to retreat from the battlefield, changing the power balance between Leaf and the Sand Village.
"I can fly." Haori said with an extremely serious tone.
The flying he's talking about isn't the usual kind of flying, and it's not that he wants to use some unconventional method of movement like levitation. First of all, the environment here isn't suitable for that kind of movement. More importantly, after unleashing a minute-long barrage on Shukaku, the electricity in his body is no longer enough to sustain a long-distance movement that consumes so much energy.
If the distance isn't far enough, and he ends up exhausting himself, he'll still be at the mercy of others.
For the same reason, he's not thinking about blasting the surrounding Sand shinobi with a few more shots. He's judged that even with his high attack power, he can't clear the field.
But Kushina, because she was thinking about Minato, naturally thought of that S-rank space-time jutsu when she heard Haori say "fly."
"Flying Thunder God? I don't remember you having much contact with Minato. When did you learn such a high-level jutsu?"
Can Haori use Flying Thunder God? Sorry, he can't.
But people sometimes have suicidal thoughts, like Haori right now.
"Wrong. I can only fly, not Thunder God. To be precise, space-time jutsu is complex, but it's not that difficult for ninjas to try. Although, ninjas with bad luck might try it and die."
(ShixT9: wow sir)
Hearing Haori say this, Kushina immediately understands which jutsu he's talking about.
"You mean Reverse Summoning Jutsu?"
That's right. Summoning Jutsu and Reverse Summoning Jutsu are indeed space-time jutsu. Those who dare to use Reverse Summoning Jutsu without a summoning beast are usually, as Haori said, unlucky. They try it and die.
Otherwise, this jutsu would be the ultimate escape jutsu.
At this point, Haori is already preparing to make hand seals.
"Don't worry, Kushina-sensei. I've made some improvements to this jutsu..." This is true. A long time ago, he thought about how to escape quickly if he was surrounded. He discovered the Reverse Summoning Jutsu... and naturally, he tried to improve it.
Of course, due to a lack of theoretical knowledge, no one knows how effective the improvement is. Haori has never tested it before... Although he seems confident, the outcome... well, who knows.
"Now, this jutsu, in theory, can fly one person, and it can fly two without any problem. And it can ensure that the starting point and the ending point of the jutsu are in a stable space. Theoretically, it's a safe jutsu."
Hearing him say "theoretically" over and over again, Kushina doesn't find it convincing at all.
"Haori, you..."
Before Kushina can finish her sentence, Haori has already completed the hand seals. Then, he grabs Kushina's arm.
And then, the Sand shinobi discover that their primary target has disappeared from the battlefield...
...
When Haori opens his eyes again, the first thing he does is endure the unbearable headache and look around.
Kushina isn't beside him, but he's not too worried about her safety. Since he's okay, it means his modification of the jutsu was successful. In theory, Kushina should be fine too.
Well, theoretically.
After looking around, Haori realizes he's in an unknown space.
Fatigue and pain are constantly assaulting his brain. The dozen or so wounds on his body aren't deep, but it's still the blood loss problem.
Using his limited medical knowledge, Haori confirms there's no danger around him and starts to treat his wounds.
He's lost a lot of blood, and he's still conscious, but for safety reasons, he can't use lightning chakra for a while.
Haori without lightning chakra has significantly reduced attack power. Fortunately, this space is relatively safe.
Unfortunately, Haori doesn't know that this thought is already a flag.
