Chapter 288

"Speak, is it really you who kidnapped Lin for the Three-Tails!"

Seeing the Third Hokage, and not being seriously injured by his own punch, Kushina relaxed a bit and turned her gaze to Shimura Danzo, who was hiding behind the Third Hokage.

She still remembered that the other party had designs on the Three-Tails inside Lin's body. Moreover, the other party had the ability to abduct Lin within Leaf Village.

Moreover, they could avoid Leaf Village's eyes and ears.

"It's clearly your fault for not guarding the Three-Tails jinchuriki properly, which led to the other party's disappearance. This is clearly your dereliction of duty, yet you blame the old man."

Seeing the Third Hokage block that punch for himself, Shimura Danzo already had a rough idea in his mind.

The other party still had some wariness toward the Hokage successor he had selected.

"Moreover, at this point, you're still here arguing nonsense with the old man—it's utterly pointless!"

"Come on, what are you all standing around here for? Quickly assign personnel to search for the Three-Tails jinchuriki's whereabouts."

Seeing the ANBU who had revealed themselves due to the attack on Sarutobi, they all stood frozen in place, not moving. Shimura Danzo walked straight past his old partner and began commanding these Hokage-affiliated ANBU.

What embarrassed him was that these people didn't take his orders to heart at all, still holding their previous pose motionless.

Go!

Only after Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke did these people leave a team to protect the Hokage, then they disappeared into the office.

And Kushina, who had been taken away, looked at this old guy with a doubtful face, for a moment unable to decide.

She also couldn't be sure whether Lin had been captured by this guy's people; her sensing ability could only detect others' malice, and that was all.

Danzo, this guy, whenever he sees me, is never without malice; let alone the fact that not long ago I made him lose face.

Kushina, you should come along too!

With your sensing ability, plus the ANBU's tracking, we should be able to find Lin soon.

Later, I will also send a few more ANBU teams to assist you.

Just a few words show the Third Hokage's understanding of the Nine-Tails jinchuriki in his own village.

And Uzumaki Kushina also didn't disappoint him, directly disappearing behind that broken door.

Left behind a mess.

Inside the barrier.

Obito, although he angrily activated three tomoe, but facing these Root elites, he had no good options; he used to be just a Chunin, and now even if he activated the Sharingan, he also had White Zetsu attached to his body.

Dealing with these Root members was still awkward, danger lurking everywhere.

What's more troublesome is that the Nara clan member who had just controlled Yeyuan Lin, after joining the battle, not long after, had his actions controlled by the Shadow Imitation Technique.

Just as Obito was about to lose his life.

Ah!

A terrified scream temporarily delayed his death.

The Yamanaka clan member controlling Yeyuan Lin and performing the Three-Tails transfer, when he first entered Yeyuan Lin's mental space, there was nothing abnormal; however, as the Three-Tails' seal was undone layer by layer, something unexpected appeared.

In his mental vision, a huge monster suddenly emerged from the dark mental world, revealing its form.

It was silently observing the intruder who had suddenly entered Yeyuan Lin's mental world with its single eye.

Before he could react, a tremendous beast roar shook his spirit out of this space.

While lying on the ground, having just regained control of her body, Yeyuan Lin began to emit crimson bubbles slowly from her body; even her face underwent slight changes, beginning to shift toward a beastly form.

This is the tailed beast cloak unique to a jinchuriki.

Be careful, the Three-Tails has broken free of our control!

What happened? The Three-Tails wasn't supposed to fall into sleep!

During the Three-Tails transfer, undoing the opponent's seal is an essential step, but they weren't unprepared; according to the original plan, the Three-Tails would directly fall into sleep and only awaken after the tailed beast transfer.

But because of a certain proud fox, the Three-Tails unexpectedly woke up, and it happened just as the seal was just opened.

It woke up in time.

Kurama, what should we do now?

Should we directly detach from this little girl's body and go outside?

Wouldn't that get us directly killed by your jinchuriki?

Inside Yeyuan Lin's body, on the Three-Tails' head, a fiery red Nine-Tails was lying; just its head made it look rather petite.

Compared to the main body's ferocity, it looks somewhat cute.

Do as you please!

Well… this really isn't like your temperament!

I originally thought you would cause a big scene!

Actually, according to the Nine-Tails' temperament, it would naturally break free directly, then cooperate with Kushina's inner tailed beast to form an inside-outside cooperation to help itself escape.

But considering Kushina's perverse bloodline limit, it also lost some interest.

According to its estimate, even adding Isobu this idiot, the two of them wouldn't last a few rounds before being sealed by Kushina, and there's also Minato Namikaze...

Anyway, let this idiot be as he may.

Is this Isobu's power? It's truly violent!

Having just broken free of control, Yeyuan Lin felt an explosive power within her body, and a burning sensation continuously coming from her skin, muttering to herself.

Thank you, Isobu!

Stroking her own lower abdomen, Yeyuan Lin said thanks to the Three-Tails inside her.

Then she exerted force with her body, breaking free of all the restraints limiting her movement, and then...

Boom!

In the time it took to lift her foot, she arrived beside Obito, and with one punch she heavily injured the Nara clan member with his back to her.

Then, facing the scarred Obito, she revealed a bright smile.

"Dai Tu, this time it's my turn to save you!"

After saying that, she grabbed Dai Tu and ran toward the outside of the barrier.

The astonished Dai Tu was left dumbfounded, only able to foolishly follow behind her, step for step.

Yeyuan Lin was very clear-headed, thanks to the blessing of Isobu inside her; although she now had a large amount of chakra, her combat experience was too lacking—she had only just taken advantage of the element of surprise. If they really fought, she and Dai Tu would not be a match for these people.

"Stop them, don't let them leave the barrier!"

"Sealing team, prepare the seal again; since the jinchuriki hasn't gone berserk, immediately prepare a new seal."

As the on-site commander, You Longma remained very calm; that Yeyuan Lin didn't immediately go berserk surprised him greatly.

At the same time, he let out a big sigh of relief in his heart.

But this wasn't the time to think about that; if those two were let out of the barrier, he would then have to face the furious Nine-Tails jinchuriki.

Just thinking about it made him feel a chill.
