Chapter 87: The Nine-Tailed Fox Released
🕑 Added 2025-05-20 14:48:31 +0000 UTC"Danzo..." Minato Namikaze lay on the water, looking up at Danzo with his last bit of strength.
"Why?" Namikaze Minato asked weakly.
Danzo looked at the dying Minato. He originally didn't want to say much, but suddenly he wanted to talk.
"Your existence is a hazard to Konoha. You want to cleanse the darkness of Konoha, but you don't know that this darkness is also a part of Konoha. You want to dissolve the root tissue, but you don't know that trees need leaves for photosynthesis, but they also need roots to sink into the dark soil to absorb nutrients."
"You only see that the leaves of a tree need to be carefully cared for, but you don't know that the most important part of a tree is the root. If the leaves are gone, they can grow again, but if the root is gone, how can the tree survive?"
"You are just like a naive kid, using simple and childish methods to run the ninja village. If you continue to lead Konoha, then in the next Ninja World War, Konoha will be destroyed by other ninja villages because of your naivety."
Danzo grabbed Minato by the collar, lifted him up, and lectured him with contempt.
"I'm not trying to remove the roots that absorb nutrients, I'm trying to remove the roots that are rotting..."
"You, Danzo, your Root Organization is the most rotten place... If you allow the rotten you to exist, Konoha will inevitably be doomed."
Minato Namikaze felt his vitality slipping away, but spoke without showing any weakness.
"You little brat, you don't know what you're talking about." Danzo snorted coldly.
"There's no time to engage in meaningless arguments with you. Goodbye, Fourth Hokage." After saying this, Danzo took the katana from his subordinate and chopped off Minato Namikaze's head.
At this time, the Root members sent to the cave by Danzo also returned.
"Minato--!" Uzumaki Kushina, who was brought back with them, screamed heartbreakingly as she looked at the body of Namikaze Minato.
But at this time, Minato Namikaze was already a real corpse, and naturally could not respond to her sad call.
"Danzo! It's you!" Uzumaki Kushina looked at Danzo fiercely, gritting her teeth, with chakra surging all over her body.
"Oh? As expected of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, you can mobilize chakra right after giving birth. You recover really quickly." Danzo said with interest.
"Lord Danzo, all the people inside have been cleared out." A Root ninja who brought Uzumaki Kushina out reported to Danzo.
There were only four medical ninjas in the cave, so cleaning it up was very easy.
Although the intention is to frame Uchiha, this does not mean that there is a need to leave any survivors, because Konoha has the Yamanaka clan, so the memories of the dead can also be used.
"Let's go." Danzo took a last look at the headless body of Minato Namikaze, and left into the distance with his subordinates, Uzumaki Kushina, and Naruto.
Afterwards they came to another valley, first set up a barrier, and then used earth escape to set up an altar.
"Although you are going to die, the Nine-Tails cannot die with you." Danzo said as he made hand seals.
"Danzo! I curse you! I curse you! I curse you--!" Uzumaki Kushina looked at Danzo with a resentful look and roared viciously.
An ANBU ninja nearby came over and gagged Kushina and tied her up.
Kushina struggled and even tried to bite the Anbu ninja's hand with her mouth, looking like a crazy woman.
However, her chakra had been sealed by a sealing technique, and she was still in a weak period after giving birth. How could she bite a ninja's hand?
"Pa!" A slap came and Kushina's head was hit.
Kushina was a little dizzy from the force of the slap. After stiffening for a moment, she turned her head again and looked at the ninja with hatred.
Originally, the Root ninja wanted to slap her, but when he saw Kushina's eyes full of hatred, he, a veteran ninja, felt a palpitation in his heart and couldn't slap her with his raised hand.
At this time, Danzo's hand seal was also completed. He placed his palm on Kushina's abdomen, and the Bagua seal on Kushina's abdomen began to disappear one circle after another.
Scarlet chakra surged out of Kushina's body, enveloping Uzumaki Kushina.
That is the chakra of the Nine-Tails. It is the chakra that can sense and absorb malice, and eventually become the most evil thing in the world.
"Uzumaki Kushina, I didn't expect you to end up in such a miserable state." Scarlet chakra formed the head of the Nine-Tails in the air, looking at Kushina below with sarcasm.
And because of the outflow of the Nine-Tails' chakra, Uzumaki Kushina seemed to have gained strength, and she stood up from the ground in a very uncoordinated posture.
With his arms drooping, he slowly raised his head and looked at Danzo, who was more than ten meters away, and the surrounding Root ninjas with devilish eyes.
"You... are all going to die..." Uzumaki Kushina's voice was hoarse and weird, and her long red hair fluttered in the wind, driven by the surrounding scarlet chakra.
"That's right, free me and let me kill them to avenge you." The Nine-Tailed Fox said with an evil smile.
"Kill you... Kill you... Kill you..." Uzumaki Kushina walked forward step by step, muttering continuously, and the Nine-Tails Chakra on her body became more and more useful.
"What a terrifying Jinchūriki! In this state, he still has the energy to suppress the Nine-Tails?" Danzo couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
If a fellow Jinchūriki were to come up, Uzumaki Kushina would be the perfect candidate. Without relying on the Eight Trigrams Seal, she could subdue the Nine-Tails with just her own Diamond Seal.
In Danzo's opinion, only the first generation Hokage had such powerful control.
The power released by the Nine-Tailed Fox became more and more powerful, and finally, it became concentrated to a certain level.
"Roar——" A ferocious, scarlet, skinless fox head emerged from Uzumaki Kushina's abdomen.
Head, claws, body, tail...
The skin appeared on the body of the Nine-Tailed Fox, and its nine tails whipped the surrounding air and mountains. It let out an earth-shaking roar, and even though it was blocked by the barrier, it still spread out.
"Very good, you are useless now." Danzo came to Uzumaki Kushina's side, drew out a kunai and was about to kill Uzumaki Kushina.
However, there was a strong wind overhead, and Danzo was shrouded by a huge shadow.
"Boom!" The Nine-Tailed Fox's claws swept past Danzo's position, raising a cloud of sand and gravel.
"It's really strange. I'm going to kill the Jinchuriki who imprisoned you. Shouldn't you be happy?" Danzo landed on a huge rock, looked at the Nine-Tails in confusion and asked.
"Of course I'm happy that this guy is dead, but I have to promise her that I will avenge her, so I have to at least let her watch you die before I die." The Nine-Tailed Fox looked at Danzo viciously, with a bloody mouth, and was smiling viciously at this moment.
