Chapter 33 The Nine-Tails Settled
While Ning Qi was wandering around the battlefield of the Uchiha tribe to close up his Sharingan, on the Nine-Tails battlefield in the outskirts, Fugaku, who was gradually weakening, might no longer be able to restrain the Nine-Tails, or he might be pressed by the war situation. In order to crush Sarutobi as soon as possible, Fugaku took the initiative to release the restraint on Kyuubi.
In short, the Kyuubi's attacks are becoming more and more violent and unscrupulous, and the fur is almost covering its whole body. The pressure Sarutobi feels when facing the Kyuubi in such a state is unprecedented.
"boom--"
The tailed beast jade exploded with a bang, and the vibrations resounded throughout the world.
Sarutobi looked behind him and saw that an entire mountaintop had been leveled to the ground by this huge force.
His face was ashen. If this move were released in Konoha Village, the entire Konoha would be wiped out from this world.
"That guy Fugaku..."
I don’t know how many times I have said this name today. I was fully prepared for the Uchiha rebellion, but since Naruto was captured, the whole situation collapsed. No one expected Uchiha Fugaku. He actually has the guts.
The purpose is ambitious.
The means are unconstrained.
If you, Fugaku, had had this courage long ago, why would you want to make a coup now?
How could he be forced to take the path of a coup?
There is no answer to this question yet.
New Tailed Beast Jade is gathering, and the terrifying power makes people's hearts tremble.
Sarutobi had driven away all the Konoha ninjas and faced the almost complete Kyuubi alone in the suburbs.
The worst outcome would be to die together, he thought to himself.
Taking a deep breath and focusing his mind, Sarutobi shouted to Kyuubi while being ready to evade at any time:
"Naruto, are you still there? Wake up quickly!!"
"Kyuubi, I know you are recovering from consciousness, Kyuubi! Are you really willing to be controlled by Uchiha?"
He tried so hard that his voice was almost hoarse, but the Kyuubi in front of him did not change except that the hatred in his eyes became more intense when he heard "Uchiha".
The tailed beast, like an irresistible chariot, bulldozed all obstacles and crashed into it at top speed.
Sarutobi's figure continued to flicker.
However, Kyuubi must have learned his lesson this time, as the Tailed Beast Jade didn't push far before it exploded!
Although Sarutobi was not at the center of the explosion, the scattered air waves were like wind blades and there was really no way he could avoid them.
The surrounding trees were almost cut off directly.
"Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!"
The earth and stone wall was torn apart by the explosion wave, and Sarutobi who was under the stone wall was completely thrown away!
The wishful stick was inserted into the soil, and he managed to stabilize his body and spit out a mouthful of blood.
His current condition is not good, both physical strength and chakra content have reached dangerous levels.
Looking at the Kyuubi who was still gathering a new tailed beast jade, Sarutobi smiled helplessly.
Although Kyuubi is crazy, it is not irrational. It has learned how to use the tailed beast tama to really cause harm to Sarutobi, the annoying ant. The next round of tailed beast tama will definitely not be that easy to hide!
...So, is this the limit?
Did that guy Fugaku... actually resist longer than himself, the Hokage?
well.
Although he was not convinced, Sarutobi already knew that this was the best time.
I can't force myself any longer.
"Sarutobi!" As if sensing the old man's determination, the monkey demon couldn't help but speak.
"No need to say any more," Sarutobi shook his head and said firmly, "We can't delay it any longer, so we have no choice but to do this."
If it drags on any longer, I'm afraid there won't be a chance to seal it all away with the zombies again.
Sarutobi looked at Kyuubi, maybe he was thinking of something, or maybe it was just the approach of death, he sighed:
"Actually... I should have died during the last Nine-Tails Rebellion."
"It would be most appropriate for me to use the corpse seal that time."
"Minato, he has just become Hokage not long ago. He is obviously still so young, and he will definitely develop very well."
"If it had been up to me, an old man, to do this, disasters like today wouldn't have happened..."
There was a disciple from Uchiha under Minato. Although the boy named Obito died early in the mission, it was because of this that Minato, who was filled with guilt, maintained a much better relationship with the Uchiha clan than he did.
Sarutobi felt that if he had been the one to stand up and use the ghoul to seal the world, the Uchiha clan would not have chosen to take the risk with the lives of the entire clan even today. Even if the clan members were dissatisfied, they would probably try to reach communication with Minato instead. Just choose coup.
Unlike now, although Sarutobi has always played the role of a peacemaker in the process of the Uchiha rebellion, he has never received a single request for communication or testing from the Uchiha.
Obviously, Uchiha was also extremely disappointed with him, and even thought that all the suppression that Uchiha suffered was secretly instructed by him, the Hokage, so he became the main target of this coup plan.
"I'm sorry Naruto, Minato..." Sarutobi murmured softly.
In the distance, the Kyuubi was about to finish charging the tailed beast jade, and Sarutobi started to seal it.
Si-
Hai-
not yet-
Mao-
xu-
son-
unitary-
There were nine seals in total, and when Sarutobi reached the eighth seal, it seemed as if there were illusory hands covering his hands, preventing him from continuing to seal.
A voice that sounded like it was coming from the wind sounded at this moment:
"The Third Hokage-sama..."
This voice was very familiar to Sarutobi. He raised his head blankly and found that the Kyuubi in front of him had stopped accumulating power at some point. Its fur had covered its whole body. It was now a complete Kyuubi. People's consciousness should have been completely swallowed by the Kyuubi... But why?
Now the Kyuubi no longer cares about Sarutobi, it is ravaging the surrounding mountains and forests like crazy.
All the mountains were destroyed, countless tall trees were uprooted, and dust was flying. The last reflection of the Sharingan in Kyuubi's eyes had been driven away, leaving only a blood-red color full of pure malice and hatred.
"Uchiha..."
"Watergate……"
Kyuubi made a sound from his throat.
These were the two names Kyuubi hated the most.
Now that they all appeared, Sarutobi finally recalled the source of the familiar voice just now.
Namikaze Minato.
But why...
Sarutobi looked a little confused, but at the urging of the monkey demon, he finally put down the last two seals that continued to seal the zombies. He watched Kyuubi from a distance.
Sure enough, not long after, with an unwilling roar, Kyuubi's figure was rapidly shrinking until it turned into a child and fell to the ground.
Sarutobi was pleasantly surprised and hurried over to confirm that the Nine-Tails seal on Naruto was complete.
"Naruto?"
Naruto woke up, looked at Sarutobi in front of him, and said blankly:
"The third generation?"
"Was that a dream just now?"
"I saw a yellow-haired man who looked like the Yondaime on Hokage Rock. He said he was my father. I was still holding him inside and crying..."
As if he suddenly woke up, Naruto, after being stunned for a moment, grabbed Sarutobi's hand and asked directly:
"Grandpa Third Generation, is everything he said true?"
"That fourth generation, is he really my father?"
Sarutobi didn't struggle with the issue of the title, but his mood was extremely complicated for a moment. Looking at Naruto's expectant eyes in front of him, the feeling of guilt for not being able to use the zombie seal instead of Minato became more and more profound.
He nodded and said: "It's true, your father is the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato."
Naruto was stunned for a long time, and then tears fell on his hands drop by drop. He tried to block them with the back of his hands, but he couldn't stop them.
After a long time, Naruto calmed down and said:
"He...he even asked me to come out and tell you, 'It doesn't matter, I will always respect you, the Third Hokage.'"
This time it was Sarutobi's turn to be stunned. He remembered the sound in the wind and the hand that seemed to be pressing up when he was forming the seal, and his mind was confused for a moment.
He sighed deeply.
"Naruto……"
Sarutobi pulled Naruto to say something.
However, an ANBU appeared at an inappropriate time.
He reported:
"Hokage-sama...Hinata...something happened to the Hinata clan!"
