"I didn't expect to escape death after all!"
Sensing the Tailed Beast Ball above Mito Uzumaki's head, which was about to stabilize, Kenshi, still in mid-air, sighed and smiled.
He wasn't afraid of death.
It was just that he hadn't been able to carry out all the revenge plans he had in mind for the Third Hokage and Konoha, which made him a little unhappy.
But no matter how unhappy he was, he could only face it calmly.
He had no ability to resist anymore.
The years of accumulated Chakra, along with the Chakra he had gained from opening all his acupoints, had vanished in the collapse and dissipation of the Black Iron Chains just now.
In his previous life, he had read online about how powerful the Nine-Tails was. You couldn't truly feel that terror until you came to this world.
All your efforts were just a puff of air from the Nine-Tails.
That was the gap between Kenshi and the Nine-Tails jinchūriki.
"Buzz!"
A Chakra wave, stronger and heavier than before, spread out.
Above Mito Uzumaki's head, the Tailed Beast Ball had stabilized at a diameter of two meters.
A Tailed Beast Ball of this size could explode, creating a sphere with a diameter of one kilometer and a core temperature exceeding six thousand degrees Celsius.
At this temperature, all defenses would be useless, and everything would instantly vaporize.
For Kenshi, this was perfect.
Death wouldn't be painful, just a matter of an instant.
"Nine-Tails!!!"
Just as Kenshi was ready to face death, Mito Uzumaki suddenly roared.
Then, he saw the golden Nine-Tails Chakra on her body recede, replaced by a red Nine-Tails Chakra cloak that emerged, enveloping her entire body.
Above Mito Uzumaki's head, the Tailed Beast Ball, containing terrifying energy, was like a rotten beam, crumbling piece by piece, turning into ashes and dissipating.
"..."
This sudden change stunned Kenshi for a moment. Then, he couldn't help but smile, and soon, his mouth opened completely.
"Hahaha!"
"Nine-Tails, good job!"
Kenshi laughed loudly, watching Mito Uzumaki fall into a struggle for control of her body with the Nine-Tails, gloating.
Whizz, whizz!
Seizing this brief moment, Kenshi quickly disappeared from Mito Uzumaki's sight, rapidly moving away from Konoha.
Sensing this, Mito Uzumaki was furious.
"Damn Nine-Tails!"
Mito Uzumaki cursed in her heart, immediately sitting cross-legged, her entire mind sinking into her sealing space.
"Damn you, you stinky woman, you won't seal me again."
The Nine-Tails, who had finally managed to break free from most of his seal and stand up, taking advantage of Mito Uzumaki's depletion of a large amount of Adamantine Binding Chains Chakra, causing the seal to loosen, didn't want to be sealed again.
Inside Mito Uzumaki's sealing space, the Nine-Tails still had dozens of Adamantine Binding Chains piercing his body. He pulled at the Adamantine Binding Chains on his body, trying to pull them out, while his tails swung, attacking Mito Uzumaki's consciousness.
"Don't even think about escaping, Nine-Tails."
Mito Uzumaki roared, clapping her hands together. Inside the sealing space, thousands of Adamantine Binding Chains instantly shot out.
Some wrapped around the Nine-Tails' tails and limbs, some pierced into its body again, devouring its Chakra for their own use while sealing its Chakra.
"Damn you, you stinky woman!"
"Damn you, Uzumaki clan!"
"Damn you, sealing jutsu!"
Feeling this stinky woman, Mito Uzumaki, stealing his Chakra and using the stolen Chakra to seal him with sealing jutsu.
It was too hateful!
The hatred in the Nine-Tails' eyes was as real as substance, fixed on Mito Uzumaki.
He was truly fed up with this woman.
He was even more fed up with this clan's sealing jutsu.
Bang, bang, bang!
Inside the sealing space, the Nine-Tails, unwilling to be sealed, completely went crazy, wreaking havoc and struggling.
The powerful hatred contained in its Chakra was frantically eroding Mito Uzumaki's mental will.
Facing the Nine-Tails' terrifying hatred Chakra erosion, Mito Uzumaki had no choice but to devote a large part of her mind to stabilizing her mental will, preventing herself from being overwhelmed and going berserk.
This way, the Nine-Tails and Mito Uzumaki were temporarily deadlocked.
Outside.
The Third Hokage, riding the Enma Staff high-speed train, arrived beside Mito Uzumaki first.
"Mito-sama!"
The Third Hokage, holding the Enma Staff, which had retracted to its normal length, arrived in front of Mito Uzumaki. His muscles were tense, his mind focused, as if facing a formidable enemy.
The red Nine-Tails Chakra cloak tightly enveloped Mito Uzumaki's entire body, and her nine tails swayed gently in the air, radiating waves of scorching heat.
Mito Uzumaki closed her eyes. She had no time to respond to the Third Hokage's call. She was focused on her battle with the Nine-Tails in her sealing space.
Seeing this, the Third Hokage's expression became even more serious.
If the Nine-Tails escaped, then... he absolutely couldn't let the Nine-Tails escape.
The Third Hokage made up his mind, then formed hand seals.
"Shadow Clone Technique."
Bang, bang, bang.
The Third Hokage created three shadow clones, then quickly spread out, standing at the four corners of a square.
"Four Purple Flame Formation!"
The Third Hokage, alone, cast the Four Purple Flame Formation barrier jutsu. Four purple flame barrier walls, even thicker and more stable than the ones cast by the four ANBU ninjas, rose up, sealing Mito Uzumaki in the middle.
This way, even if the Nine-Tails escaped, they could buy some time for the sealing squad ninjas to bring Kushina, that child, and reseal the Nine-Tails.
But if possible, the Third Hokage still hoped that Mito-sama could reseal the Nine-Tails.
It was the Second Great Ninja War.
Konoha couldn't lose Mito-sama, a powerful deterrent against other ninja villages.
Otherwise... Kumogakure and Kirigakure wouldn't just be watching from the sidelines, but would directly join the battle against Konoha.
The Third Hokage was well aware of Mito-sama's importance to Konoha at this time.
Compared to Mito-sama, Kenshi, who had escaped, was also very dangerous, but he could only deal with him later.
"Whizz, whizz, whizz, whizz!"
The four ANBU members, who were one step behind the Third Hokage, also arrived outside the barrier.
"Hokage-sama, this is..."
The Third Hokage didn't use the barrier to enclose himself. The ANBU ninjas could communicate with him. Facing an ANBU ninja's question, he shook his head, didn't explain anything, and just told the four ANBU ninjas to guard around him.
Everything would be discussed after Mito-sama resealed the Nine-Tails.
After a while, support ninjas from other ninja clans arrived.
Seeing Mito Uzumaki, enveloped by the red Nine-Tails Chakra cloak, inside the Four Purple Flame Formation, they instantly understood that she was currently struggling with the Nine-Tails. They all spontaneously guarded around the barrier.
At this time, no one dared to cause trouble.
Even though they were curious about who could force Mito-sama to lose control of the Nine-Tails, no one asked the Third Hokage at this time.
The Uchiha clan members also arrived.
They didn't ask any questions either.
Everyone was waiting for Mito Uzumaki to stabilize.
After ten minutes, the red Nine-Tails Chakra on Mito Uzumaki's body gradually retracted into her body.
Inside the sealing space, the Nine-Tails helplessly watched as his body was pressed back onto the giant rock, cut into eight pieces, and sealed firmly. He only left behind a threatening phrase, "I'll get out eventually," before completely falling silent.
Having resealed the Nine-Tails, Mito Uzumaki opened her eyes.
Then... her body swayed violently.
Even sitting cross-legged, she couldn't stabilize her body.
"Mito-sama!"
The Third Hokage, removing the Four Purple Flame Formation, took a stride and arrived in front of Mito Uzumaki.
"I'm fine."
Mito Uzumaki raised her hand to stop the Third Hokage from helping her up. Taking a deep breath, she stood up on her own.
She was the wife of the God of Shinobi.
She couldn't disgrace her husband's reputation.
But now, because she had consumed a lot of Chakra, she couldn't maintain her youthful appearance. She was even more aged than before.
Her face was covered in wrinkles, and her white hair had a dry, gray, and dilapidated look.
Without the help of the sealing formations specially prepared in the secret chamber, relying solely on her own Chakra to seal the Nine-Tails, for an elderly person who was already at the end of her life, the consumption was considerable.
Mito Uzumaki, who could have lived for several more years, after this battle, could only live for half a year at most.
"Mito-sama!"
"Mito-sama!"
The ninjas from other clans in Konoha rushed forward. They had originally wanted to ask something, but seeing Mito Uzumaki's current state, the words that came out of their mouths became expressions of concern for her.
"Alright, everyone else go back."
"Monkey, you come with me."
Mito Uzumaki waved her hand, telling everyone else to go back. She called out to the Third Hokage and walked aside.
The others hesitated, wanting to ask what had happened.
But looking at Mito Uzumaki's appearance, it was clear that she didn't want them to know.
Thinking back to the black Chakra chains similar to the Uzumaki clan's, the ninjas from various clans looked thoughtful, realizing that today's commotion might be related to the Uzumaki clan.
This made them hesitant to ask any more questions.
Soon.
A commotion that had shaken Konoha was calmed down by Mito Uzumaki in a few words.
It had to be said that Mito Uzumaki's prestige in Konoha was very high, especially among the high-ranking ninjas of the ninja clans. The Third Hokage was far behind.
At this time, the Third Hokage nervously followed Mito Uzumaki aside. The four ANBU ninjas stood far away, not daring to approach.
