Chapter 137: Nine-Tails Rampage

"Ah... ugh, ahhh!"

"Hang in there, Kushina, it's almost out!"

At this moment, inside a secret base outside Konoha, Minato was pacing back and forth at the room's entrance, his eyes revealing a hint of anxiety.

The entire base was not very large, and the ground was covered with various Talismans, forming a special Seal Barrier specifically designed to seal the power of a Tailed Beast.

However, up until now, the Sealing Formula had not been put to use; clearly, even during the process of childbirth, Uzumaki Kushina was still able to suppress the Nine-Tails, to the point that not much Tailed Beast Chakra had even leaked out.

"Why isn't it done yet? How much longer will it take?"

Minato, a first-time father, paced back and forth at the entrance with some anxiety, muttering something to himself; Kakashi Hatake, who was guarding the door nearby, couldn't help but curl his lip as he watched his teacher's current behavior.

Almost the instant he saw the Three-Tomoe pattern in Uzumaki Kushina's eyes, Minato knew something was wrong, yet the powerful Genjutsu force pierced his defenses in an instant, causing this Yellow Flash to lose consciousness in a heartbeat.

Don't look at how Uchiha Feiyu was able to monitor Minato for a long time using Genjutsu and Space-Time Ninjutsu; that was because he didn't truly have any killing intent, otherwise, a ninja as battle-hardened and mentally sharp as this would definitely have sensed that something was amiss.

Aside from the Third Hokage guarding the home village, the lineup of Tsunade delivering the baby for Uzumaki Kushina, Kakashi and Obito guarding the door, plus Minato pacing outside the ward, could almost be considered four Shadow-level powerhouses.

His own teacher, who was usually the type of ninja who was calm, witty, and possessed outstanding combat intelligence, was now acting like this—how did he look so similar to Obito?

Many ninjas believed that the future Fifth Hokage would be one of either Kakashi Hatake or Obito; in fact, the Shadow Guard did indeed have the meaning of being the successors to the Shadow—the two of them were certainly not the three high-level cannon fodder like Shiranui Genma from the original story.

Hearing the sound of the main door being kicked open, even Tsunade, who had her head buried in Uchiha Feiyu's chest like an ostrich, trembled slightly, fearing discovery by the others in Konoha.

A large number of Talismans connected in a line, eventually forming a massive sealing pattern; the Nine-Tails, which had been struggling desperately, let out a strange roar, and the seventh tail that had been growing began to gradually retract.

After his bloodline Awakening, Obito's progress was extremely rapid; his current strength, even if slightly inferior to Kakashi's, was not by much. The two of them were already the most outstanding young ninjas in Konoha and were members of Minato's Shadow Guard.

Seeing Minato leave, Uchiha Feiyu chuckled, likewise activated a Space-Time Ninjutsu, and vanished without a trace in pursuit of Minato.

Of course, they had no heart to care about the situation of Uzumaki Naruto and Tsunade now, because under Uchiha Feiyu's Genjutsu, Uzumaki Kushina not only failed to suppress the Nine-Tails' chakra but instead indulged the eruption of the Tailed Beast Chakra; almost in an instant, five tails had already grown behind her.

Because it was not like the original story where Obito directly broke the seal to release the Nine-Tails, the Nine-Tails' power had not yet been fully unleashed, and as long as the rampaging Nine-Tails was suppressed and sealed back, Uzumaki Kushina would be fine, so Minato had no intention of using any Dead Demon Consuming Seal to perish together.

Fortunately, Uchiha Feiyu had long calculated that Minato's weakness lay with Uzumaki Kushina; just like his near-suicidal actions in the original story, this Yellow Flash could never be on guard against Uzumaki Kushina, so he had long ago planted a Transcription Seal—Tsukuyomi—in Uzumaki Kushina's eyes, which was how he took down the Yellow Flash in one move.

In the delivery room, Tsunade was holding the newborn Uzumaki Naruto and was startled to suddenly see Uchiha Feiyu appear, then saw Uchiha Feiyu reach out his hand:

"Is the child born? Let me see!"

And once Minato escaped, although Uchiha Feiyu was not afraid, it would always bring about no small amount of trouble.

One must know that this pair of eyes belonging to Uchiha Feiyu, although they looked like Three-Tomoe Sharingan, were in reality already at the level of the Rinnegan, and with both eyes containing the Tsukuyomi, the power of this Tsukuyomi was far stronger than Itachi Uchiha's Tsukuyomi.

However, at this moment, Uchiha Feiyu had already activated a Genjutsu; admittedly, because of the Seal Barrier, the Genjutsu had a major flaw that allowed others to perceive Uchiha Feiyu's location, but as a mere smokescreen to block the eyes, it was not a problem.

This time, Uzumaki Kushina's childbirth was not just about Minato's wife; more importantly, she was Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so Konoha naturally sent the most elite ninjas to keep watch.

Even Uzumaki Kushina herself could be considered a Shadow-level powerhouse; after all, she was a heroine who could beat the Nine-Tails to a pulp even with only half a breath left, and even with the bonus of the Uzumaki Sealing Technique, that performance was definitely Shadow-level.

"Tsk... that really was a lucky strike..."

Hearing this, Kakashi was silent for a moment and shook his head:

Under these circumstances, although the atmosphere was extremely tense, not even Minato had thought that someone would come to stir up trouble.

At this moment, the Nine-Tails had already erupted with six tails; Minato did not dare to be negligent, casually threw a Flying God Kunai, and then transformed into a streak of golden light, leaping constantly around the Nine-Tails.

When Uchiha Feiyu had just used the Flying Thunder God Technique to enter the delivery room, because the time was short, Kakashi, Obito, and Minato, who were guarding outside, had not yet noticed; as for Uzumaki Kushina's initial questioning, the barrier in the room blocked the sound, so those outside did not hear it either.

Tsunade was slightly stunned for a moment, then obediently handed Uzumaki Naruto to Uchiha Feiyu; at this moment, Uzumaki Kushina also regained consciousness and was shocked to see a man suddenly appear in the delivery room, especially when Tsunade handed her child to this strange man.

Kakashi frowned and pondered for a moment, and just then, Obito suddenly asked:

"That's not right, Kakashi, where are Lady Tsunade and the teacher's child?! How come they suddenly disappeared without a trace?!"

Minato, who possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique, was in a sense even harder to deal with than the average Otsutsuki Clan member; it was not difficult to defeat him, but killing him was by no means easy.

"Kushina, are you alright!"

Standing on the periphery of the Array, Uchiha Feiyu touched his chin, his expression somewhat helpless.

And as of now, the only obstacle in front of Minato was Uzumaki Kushina.

"Finally caught the opportunity; it wasn't in vain that I left a Transcription Seal directly in your eyes."

This secret base was a certain distance away from Konoha, but in terms of a Tailed Beast's destructive power, it was only a Tailed Beast Bomb's distance away.

Hearing a loud cry, Uchiha Feiyu's figure flashed slightly and appeared in the delivery room.

"Ah!? Are they in danger? Then what should we do?!"

"Not good..."

"Minato... what's going on?"

The sealing array before him, of course, could not stump Uchiha Feiyu; after possessing the Kamui Sharingan, the so-called Seal Barrier was basically nothing to him.

The Transcription Seal was buried in Uzumaki Kushina's eyes, but she herself had no way of seeing it; regarding Minato's sudden loss of consciousness, Uzumaki Kushina was both shocked and furious.

"Fortunately, the Nine-Tails only just erupted five tails, otherwise, with my chakra, there would be no way to move it this far."

Even though Minato could be called mentally firm and strong-willed, he absolutely could not withstand his Tsukuyomi, and he suffered mental trauma and lost consciousness immediately.

Minato had a look of worry on his face and hurriedly hugged the unconscious Uzumaki Kushina; under Minato's nervous gaze, Uzumaki Kushina opened her eyes slightly, and a red light flashed in her eyes.

"Kushina, don't worry, I'm coming to save you!"

In fact, Obito was standing right next to Kakashi Hatake, also helping his teacher's wife guard the door!

Seeing the critical situation, Minato made a prompt decision and gave orders; after speaking, he immediately activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and moved the Nine-Tails away directly.

"Lady Tsunade, what are you doing? Who is this man?!"

Under Minato's sealing, coupled with the fact that Uzumaki Kushina originally had great suppressive power over the Nine-Tails, the Tailed Beast, which had been roaring loudly, finally could not bear it and transformed into orange-red chakra, retracting back into Uzumaki Kushina's body.

Even if Uchiha Feiyu also possessed Space-Time Ninjutsu and the Genjutsu to Manipulation of Five Senses, he still dared not say that he could definitely kill Minato.

Therefore, Minato and the others who entered the room, although they sensed someone, in reality, did not see what Uchiha Feiyu and Tsunade were doing, nor did they see Uzumaki Naruto being held by Uchiha Feiyu.

Especially with the power of the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb, if Konoha were to actually take a hit, it would not be any better than letting Pain take a hit. So Minato, of course, did not dare to start a battle here.

Only Kakashi Hatake and Obito remained, both looking solemnly in the direction where Uchiha Feiyu had disappeared; a moment later, they confirmed that the enemy there had long since vanished.

"Invisibility... no, it should be Space-Time Ninjutsu? Otherwise, it would be impossible to suddenly appear here... It seems that the teacher has truly encountered an opponent."

However, the chakra of everyone in this seal and Array was interconnected, which was equivalent to giving people an extra sense; under these circumstances, Uchiha Feiyu's Genjutsu for Manipulation of Five Senses naturally had a huge flaw.

Leaving aside Kakashi's side, Namikaze Minato only let out a long sigh of relief after directly moving the Nine-Tails several dozen kilometers away.

Every time he flashed, Namikaze Minato would press a Talisman onto the Nine-Tails' body; in just a short moment, countless Talismans had completely wrapped around the Nine-Tails' body.

With a boom, Kushina Uzumaki felt a wave of dizziness and completely lost consciousness; at the same time, a massive amount of Tailed Beast Chakra instantly leaked out.

"The Nine-Tails... has gone berserk! Damn it! Obito, Kakashi! You two search for the enemy here! I am going to take Kushina away; at the very least, I cannot let her go berserk here!"

Logically speaking, Namikaze Minato's combat compatibility with Tailed Beasts should be very poor, as his highest-damage Rasengan hitting a Tailed Beast is no different from just scratching the skin; however, as Kushina Uzumaki's husband, this Fourth Hokage is also a figure proficient in Sealing Technique.

Namikaze Minato might not be able to seal the Nine-Tails if it were completely free from its seal in a short time, but now that it is merely in a berserk state and the Nine-Tails has not yet reached seven tails, it is still relatively easy for Namikaze Minato to deal with.

"I came in with you; naturally, I don't know the things you don't know, but judging from the current situation, I'm afraid..."

Behind Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Feiyu revealed his figure, a smile of a conspiracy successfully carried out on his face.

However, the eruption of Nine-Tails chakra was something Namikaze Minato and the others had been constantly fearing; almost the very first moment the chakra overflowed, a group of people directly burst through the door and rushed in.

Seeing that Kushina Uzumaki seemed to be gradually reacting and wanted to open her mouth to scream, she looked up and saw Uchiha Feiyu's pair of blood-red Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

Tsunade looked at Kushina Uzumaki with a somewhat ashamed expression, then turned her head away, not daring to look at her again; Uchiha Feiyu held Naruto Uzumaki in one arm, and with his other hand, he stretched out his long arm to pull Tsunade into his embrace, his palm slowly reaching into her collar.

"You... you guy! Don't even think about hurting Minato!"

Kushina Uzumaki gritted her teeth and stood in front of Uchiha Feiyu, but she had just given birth and her vitality was already severely damaged, and she had subsequently experienced the Nine-Tails going berserk; looking at her current swaying appearance, she really had no deterrent power.

However, Uchiha Feiyu's previous use of Genjutsu to manipulate the five senses was only for convenience; it did not mean he could not act without Genjutsu, let alone...

Kushina Uzumaki was also very clear about her current situation; her gaze looked with a bit of hope toward Tsunade, who was standing beside Uchiha Feiyu with an expression of unbearable pity.

Tsunade let out a soft moan and went limp in Uchiha Feiyu's arms; feeling Kushina Uzumaki's shocked and incredulous gaze, her face turned even redder, and she buried her pretty face completely in Uchiha Feiyu's chest.

Kakashi sighed, sheathed the White Fang Short Blade he was holding in his hand, and shook his head:

"What else can we do! We don't know Space-Time Ninjutsu, nor can we deal with large Tailed Beasts like the Nine-Tails; we can't participate in this battle at all. We can only return to the village to evacuate personnel, relay information, and at the same time see if we can protect the villagers!"

"Lady Tsunade... why are you helping this kind of person? Minato is the Hokage of Konoha!"

"Hehe, interesting; since that's the case, Tsunade, I'll leave this Red Hot Habanero to you for now..."
