Chapter 157: Uzumaki Kushina
Chapter 156: Uzumaki Kushina
Boom!
A giant tree in the dense forest
on one side was broken by the random flashing of the current, falling inward
with a "kolala"
sound and resting against another giant tree.
Yotsuki Bi, who had been thrown by
the sudden punch, hit the giant tree and broke it directly.
However, Kiba didn't even glance
at it; all his attention was focused on the figure in front of him. This figure
had a beautiful appearance, with red hair flowing, but her face was full of
anger.
It was... Uzumaki Kushina!
How could it be... Kushina should have been sealed
in that container. The barrel was full of spells, it should have sealed the
Jinchuriki completely. How did Kushina escape?
Thud!
Just as Kiba was amazed and in
disbelief, Kushina landed on the ground and then relaxed her arms, catching
Kiba, who had fallen from Yotsuki Bi's chokehold.
With her red hair flying, though
she was full of anger, she softly asked, "Kiba, are you okay?"
At this time, Kiba looked at
Kushina, still in a dazed state, and the light green chakra on his body slowly
dissipated. Perhaps too surprised, even the state of the Eight Gates had been
lifted.
Kushina gently put him down, then
stood up, facing the direction where the giant tree had broken.
"Sensei Kushina, why are
you..." Kiba murmured after getting his feet on the ground. Perhaps he had
walked through the gates of hell, or maybe it happened so suddenly that Kiba
still couldn't react.
"The sealed container
cracked," Kushina replied, keeping her eyes on the direction of the broken
giant tree, and took a step forward, protecting Kiba behind her.
And Kiba, who heard Kushina's
words, unconsciously looked at the sealed container at the bottom of the pit.
Indeed, there was a small crack at the bottom of it, destroying the seal
structure.
"After bumping for so long,
no one who can sleep will be able to sleep!" Kushina added, sensing Kiba's
movements.
So Kushina woke up on the way, but was trapped in
the sealed container. She must have been trying to break the seal from inside!
Yes! Kushina is proficient in
sealing techniques. This crack destroyed the structure of the seal, creating a
flaw. For another Jinchuriki, there might still be no way to break the flawed
seal, but for Kushina, a great expert in sealing techniques, it was not a big
problem!
Kiba's heart was clear, and at
this moment, Kushina's words came again: "You came to save me, thank
you."
Hearing this, Kiba was slightly
taken aback.
During the seal, did Kushina already figure out the
situation? Did she immediately think of being taken away?
Kushina seems a bit different from the one I knew
from the original work!
But perhaps, this is what Kushina
should be like. When she was at the ninja academy, no one was better than her
except Minato Namikaze. She's also... a genius!
Coupled with the unique physique
of the Uzumaki clan, her strength may not be inferior to Minato Namikaze!
After figuring this out, Kiba
breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, his life was really hanging by a thread.
Although he had died once before crossing over, and felt calm due to the
"I've died once, the second time seems not so terrible" mindset, it
didn't mean he wouldn't be afraid or have no desire for life.
At this moment, after Kiba
breathed a sigh of relief, waves of fear surged up, and his whole body seemed
to tremble a little. If it weren't for Kushina, he might not have survived!
However, this near-death
experience also gave Kiba another realization. Although he had always thought
he didn't want to die again after time travel, believing death may truly be
permanent, he now realized that death isn't as terrifying as he imagined.
With this thought, Kiba's fear and
trembling stopped immediately. His mind seemed clearer, and some inexplicable
strength surged from his chest.
Kiba closed his eyes and took a
slight breath.
Is this the physical strength and chakra
supplemented by the soldier pill?
No, it seemed like something
else...
Exhale!
Kiba exhaled and slowly opened his
eyes, his pupils bright and firm.
But at this moment, Yotsuki Bi
stood up from the broken tree, his Lightning Release Chakra Mode crackling.
Judging by his appearance, he didn't have any scars; the attack had no effect.
Yotsuki Bi's heart sank.
Did that punch activated by the Lightning Release
Chakra just now accidentally crack the sealed container?
Yotsuki Bi's mind raced back to
the moment he punched down at Kiba from the sky. When he missed, the impact
must have affected the nearby sealed container, causing it to crack.
Just as he was being knocked into
the air, he looked at the sealed container and saw the crack.
As expected of the Uzumaki family, the sealing
technique is amazing. Such a small gap can undo the entire sealing technique.
Even lifted from inside the seal.
It is even more crucial to take
her back to the village. Her sealing technique will definitely help us seal the
Eight-Tails better, and even the birth of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki might be
assured.
Two Tails, Eight Tails, and possibly Nine Tails, the
village will never...
Thinking of this, Yotsuki Bi's
Lightning Release Chakra Mode suddenly swelled and crackled. At this moment, he
saw Kiba's opened eyes behind Kushina.
Hmm? That look? Did this brat transform in the
life-and-death situation just now?
People are inevitably afraid of death and exaggerate
its horror. Actually, is death scary? Yes, but it's not as scary as imagined!
In this kid's eyes, the
cautiousness and fear of death are gone, replaced by the prudence to avoid it.
Did he realize the reality of death just now?
Next, this kid will become even more terrifying. He
absolutely can't be left alive!
Sensing Yotsuki Bi's gaze, Kushina
formed a seal with both hands, and with a "Boom, boom!" a
dozen Kushina clones surrounded Kiba.
The Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!
"Kiba, hide behind me,"
Kushina said.
"Sensei Kushina, let's
retreat. Yotsuki Bi isn't easy to deal with," Kiba frowned, feeling
Kushina intended to fight Yotsuki Bi.
This wasn't appropriate for the
current situation.
The best way now is to run
together. Although Yotsuki Bi seemed unscathed and neither Kushina nor his own
attacks were effective, he had already fallen into a disadvantage. His purpose
is to capture Kushina.
Now that Kushina is awake,
Konoha's attention will be drawn again. He is already at a disadvantage in
realizing his goal of capturing Kushina!
Kiba's voice fell, but Kushina
didn't seem to want to leave.
"Sensei Kushina... he has
already fallen into a disadvantage. As long as you don't let him catch you, we
will win. There is no need to fight to the death here," Kiba quickly
added.
"My disciple was almost
killed. As a teacher, how can I swallow this anger?" Kushina's red hair
raised slightly, and her fists clenched.
My disciple was almost killed, as a teacher, how can
I swallow this anger!
Kiba was taken aback by her words
and looked at Kushina's red-haired back, repeating the sentence in his mind.
At the moment of his daze, Uzumaki
Kushina rushed out.
Boom!
At the same time, Yotsuki Bi also
flew out with a punch, and their fists collided fiercely.
