Chapter 305: Uzumaki 'Minon' Appears!
Chapter 305: Uzumaki 'Minon' Appears!
"Cough, cough!" Hari coughed as he surveyed the distant explosion and flames.
Knowing the opponent's ability, 'Ten Thousand World Attraction', he had immediately executed the Substitute Jutsu and Explosive Tags while in mid-air.
With the advantage of intelligence, dealing with the enemy was indeed much easier.
Without knowledge of this ability, one would never have conceived of this tactic and could not have achieved such a result.
"Even if they didn't die, they should be injured and fleeing. I'll go support Sarutobi Namikaze first!" He muttered to himself as he turned around.
Compared to eliminating the enemy, supporting his allies was the top priority at the moment.
But before he could take a step, he sharply sensed a sudden, ominous crisis behind him. He reacted swiftly, shouting, "Ape Demon!"
As he spoke, a monkey arm suddenly extended from his Golden Monkey Staff, striking towards his back.
Screech! A sound akin to a drill grinding against steel echoed from behind him.
Hari took the opportunity to create some distance and also caught a glimpse of the figure behind him.
It was the figure that should have been injured or killed.
"As expected of the Third Hokage, your combat wisdom is indeed impressive. Take this!" Hyuga Cangyue spoke with a hint of annoyance.
Despite her overwhelming advantage in chakra and bloodline limits, she had been outmaneuvered by her opponent multiple times, which was embarrassing.
Her initial intention to hold back was abandoned.
She hadn't even used the 'Tail Tornado' earlier, as the fox's tail was too similar to the Nine-Tails, and using it would implicate the Uchiha clan.
But aside from that, she would give it her all.
"Super Divine Heaven Strike!"
She stretched out her hands, preparing to deliver a powerful blow.
After all, she had withstood this technique once in the Cloud Village, and the information about it had already been leaked, so she wasn't worried about using it again.
Since the opponent had extensive combat experience, she decided not to compete in skill but to overpower them with brute force.
She was confident that with her current strength, she could handle the so-called 'Strongest Hokage'.
In reality, it was because too much of her information had been leaked.
If it hadn't been leaked, with the 'First Strike Kill' effect, she could have dominated the opponent, and it would have been impossible for them to turn the tables on her.
Boom! A terrifying repulsive force tore through everything in its path.
From the sky, one could see a powerful repulsive force pushing everything away from a certain area.
In the Cloud Village, Hyuga Cangyue had used this move to level several mountains.
The future Nagato, during his endurance, had destroyed the entire Leaf Village with a single strike.
If not for the plot armor that allowed him to use the Reincarnation Jutsu to revive the villagers, the Shinobi World would have been devoid of the Leaf Village after that endurance.
Wait, with most of the villagers dead, even if the village was rebuilt, it wouldn't be the same.
Nagato, even without being the original owner of the Rinnegan, had the complete Rinnegan, which was far beyond what Hyuga Cangyue could achieve in her four childbirth periods. So, the power gap was significant.
But it wasn't as exaggerated as it seemed.
After her all-out strike, a terrifying crater with a diameter of about a kilometer appeared on the battlefield.
In this area, only she remained, suspended in the center of the deep pit by the repulsive force, appearing godlike.
Such terrifying might was enough to make the future Nagato consider himself a 'God'.
Even with the Instantaneous Teleportation, Hari couldn't avoid this strike without the Lightning Thunder Technique.
Of course, the opponent would have various methods to defend against or cope with such an attack.
As it happened, Hari wasn't killed; he only suffered severe injuries.
He had underestimated the power of the Super Divine Heaven Strike.
After all, he had only used it at full power in the Cloud Village, and the opponent wouldn't inform the Leaf Village about it, so the perceived power was underestimated.
Step by step, Hyuga Cangyue approached Hari.
However, she didn't continue the attack but looked at the Ape Demon, who had returned to its giant ape form and stood protectively in front of Hari, with disdain, "Is this the 'Strongest Hokage'?"
Although it sounded like a question, it was, in fact, a taunt.
She felt it was a pity that Dong Ping wasn't there to witness this embarrassing moment.
Even in their daily interactions, he never held back his sarcasm towards the other.
"No, my strength is far inferior to the teacher, let alone the 'God of Ninja' First Hokage!"
Hari was determined not to disgrace the title of Hokage and endured the pain with great fortitude.
At this moment, several of his ribs were broken, and if not for the healing medicine he had consumed, his injuries might have been even more severe.
However, he showed no signs of surrender.
Just then, a deafening rumble echoed from the distance.
In Hyuga Cangyue's eyes, a vast forest seemed to burst forth from the earth.
'Wood Style?'
The thought flashed through her mind.
But these matters were not her concern; her task was to buy time.
As long as Dong Ping didn't send a signal, she would hold off any Leaf Village reinforcements.
Thus, she could leisurely admire the pitiful state of Hari, struggling behind the Ape Demon, his body barely able to move.
If only she had a camera to capture this moment.
At this moment, Dong Ping, who was being scolded by Hyuga Cangyue, witnessed the fall of a Hokage.
Fuyuki Namikaze!
After a brief struggle with the Nine-Tails, he could no longer hold on.
After all, he had not only to seal the Nine-Tails but also to resist the Shinigami's pull on his soul.
The Shinigami had exerted its power, and you dared to think of not paying the price?
So, the Shinigami's pull on his soul intensified, affecting his sealing of the Nine-Tails.
In the end, Fuyuki Namikaze's efforts came to naught just as he was about to succeed.
Sensing the weakening of the sealing power, the Nine-Tails' fox face contorted with cruelty, and it snarled,
"Fuyuki Namikaze, I will destroy the village you hold dear and make you pay for sealing me!"
It was no wonder the Nine-Tails felt this way.
It had been enjoying its life, eating hotpot and singing songs.
But one day, someone found it and said, 'Nine-Tails, you're in danger,' then sealed it away in the palm of their hand.
Who could bear such an injustice?
Hence, it was no surprise that most Tailed Beasts were so bloodthirsty and violent.
If the Tailed Beast were a human, it would be considered fortunate if they didn't have the intention to destroy the world through Darkening.
---
A crisp newborn's cry, like the sound of a cracked bell, roused the exhausted Fuyuki Namikaze to lift his head with great effort.
Yes, his second child had been born.
A fleeting look of regret and resentment crossed his eyes before Fuyuki Namikaze slowly closed them.
What had sustained him in his all-out battle against the Nine-Tails was the hope of buying time for Uzumaki Kyuhinane to give birth to their child, who would then seal the Nine-Tails.
Now that the child had been born successfully, it also meant that Kyuhinane could take action, and with his task accomplished, he could no longer hold on.
"Minon!"
"I think Minon is a good name for this girl!"
"What do you think?"
...
Before Fuyuki Namikaze lost consciousness, these were the last words he heard.
'Is my daughter named Uzumaki Minon?'
Dong Ping, who had arrived at the dais, took over the sealing from Fuyuki Namikaze and started a conversation with Uzumaki Kyuhinane.
He also gave the newborn girl a name.
Minon!
The origin of this name, of course, came from Dong Ping's twisted sense of humor.
The future 'Harem Jutsu' transformation of Minon Prince into that blonde-haired girl?
Now, Dong Ping wasn't joking around; he had created a real female version of Minon for the Shinobi World.
"Namikaze!"
Uzumaki Kyuhinane looked at the fallen Fuyuki Namikaze, her face filled with despair.
"The effect of the Corpse Seal, you should understand better than anyone. This was his choice!"
Dong Ping comforted her while continuing to suppress the Nine-Tails with the Eight Trigrams Sealing.
From the moment the Corpse Seal was used, Fuyuki Namikaze had been a dead man, so this situation wasn't entirely unexpected, was it?
"...Who are you?"
Only then did Uzumaki Kyuhinane realize that this wasn't the time for sadness.
The Nine-Tails hadn't been fully sealed, and her two children were still in danger.
As a mother, she was determined to protect them at all costs. If anyone dared to harm her children, she would take them down, no matter what. What surprised her was that the Eight Trigrams Sealing the person used was incredibly proficient, even more so than Namikaze, which prompted her question.
