Chapter 992: The Nine-Tails: How Did Kushina Revive?
Even the summoned beasts from the Three Great Holy Lands, when facing the Tailed Beasts head-on, were ultimately limited in their capabilities.
After several rounds, Gama Bunta had already been driven back by the fighting prowess of Shugaku.
When Gama Bunta appeared in the Leaf Village, it also attracted the attention of many, as it was the exclusive mount of the Fourth Hokage and was quite well-known among the Leaf Ninjas.
Those capable of summoning Gama Bunta were few and far between, and with the Fourth Hokage deceased, the only remaining person should have been one of the Leaf Sannin, Jiraiya.
The Third Hokage and Orochimaru, who were within the Four Purple Flame Formation, initially thought Jiraiya had arrived when they saw Gama Bunta. However, when they later discovered that the one who summoned Bunta was Naruto, the Third Hokage couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.
Jiraiya was indeed in the Leaf Village, but he hadn't entered the core area. Instead, he was suppressing the giant snake summoned by the Sound Ninjas.
Jiraiya had left the Leaf Village many years ago. After experiencing the successive departures and betrayals of his two partners, and then the death of his disciples, the Uzumaki couple, he had long since lost faith in the current Leaf Village and the Third Hokage.
The two sides currently engaged in battle were his former mentor and his once-close friend. Interfering would only bring him grief, so Jiraiya chose to avoid the situation.
"That's the Sand's Shugaku, I didn't expect the Sand Village to bring such a powerful weapon to destroy the Leaf Village.
Jiraiya, are you sure you don't want to go over? Bunta might not be a match for Shugaku, and that kid should be the only child left by the Fourth."
Hearing Gama Bunta's words, Jiraiya's face showed a moment of struggle before he finally decided to go and stop the Sand's Shugaku.
When Jiraiya arrived at the scene, he was astonished to find that the Sand's Shugaku, which had been flaunting its power in the Leaf Village, was now bound tightly by thick, golden chains!
In the entire Ninja World, only a handful of people could easily restrict the movement of Tailed Beasts using sealing techniques.
Jiraiya was undoubtedly familiar with these golden chains, but when he looked at the figure casting the sealing technique, his face soon showed a hint of desolation.
The Uzumaki Clan's sealing techniques were a closely guarded secret, not something anyone could learn or master.
Jiraiya initially thought that the person using this sealing technique was a hot-tempered young girl from his memories, but when he saw the white-haired figure, he remembered that Uzumaki Kushina had died.
She had died alongside his most prized disciple, Minato Namikaze, during the Nine-Tails incident over a decade ago.
"With Night City's help, suppressing the Sand's Shugaku shouldn't be a problem. I'll catch up with him later."
As Jiraiya turned to leave, "Night City" didn't say more. Instead, he shot out more golden chains from behind, directly piercing Shugaku's body, causing the once-proud creature to continuously emit painful groans.
When the Leaf Ninjas, including Orochimaru and the Third Hokage within the Four Purple Flame Formation, saw "Night City" appear and effortlessly subdue Shugaku, they were all greatly surprised.
The younger Leaf Ninjas, unfamiliar with Night City, were astonished by his strength and curious about his identity.
The older generation of ninjas, on the other hand, were amazed that Night City, who had left the Leaf Village years ago, had returned at this critical moment and turned the tide of battle.
"Unbelievable, it's that adult returning. In that case, there's nothing to worry about over there, and we can focus on dealing with you."
Kakashi and his team had been fighting against Maki and Orochimaru of the Sand Village while also keeping an eye on the situation with their Genin students.
But upon seeing Night City, these elite Leaf ninjas immediately felt relieved. With that adult's strength, the Sand Guardian, Tsuru, was no match for them.
Meanwhile, Naruto and his team, who had been taking a beating from Tsuru, saw Night City's sudden appearance and instantly recognized him as the person from Naruto's dream.
Naruto curiously asked Gamabunta, "Old man toad, do you know that guy? Is he also a Leaf ninja?"
In response to Naruto's question, Gamabunta took out his large pipe and leisurely smoked, then said, "He's a contemporary of the Fourth Hokage and one of the Legendary Sannin, Tsunade's disciple.
He's also the most powerful and talented ninja of their generation. If it's him, we can just stand here and watch the show."
"Stronger than the Fourth Hokage?" Naruto exclaimed in surprise.
In his limited knowledge, the Hokage had always been the most formidable existence, and the Fourth Hokage had been his idol.
"The Fourth Hokage was also a genius among the Hokages, but the Senju Night City is even more abnormal."
Since learning that Night City had resurrected Minato and Kushina, Gamabunta was even more certain of this.
When Naruto heard Gamabunta's words, the Nine-Tails within him showed a shocked and confused expression.
Damn it, Senju Night City! He might have deceived others, but he couldn't fool the Nine-Tails, Kurama!
When Night City reshaped Kushina's body, he used his Wood Release cells and Yang Release chakra, so the current Kushina was filled with Night City's aura and scent.
Not a single mistake, a perfect copy!
As the former jinchuriki who had sealed Kurama, the Nine-Tails had a deep and bitter memory and hatred for Kushina. It's no exaggeration to say that no one in this world knew Kushina better than the Nine-Tails.
Even Minato, who had spent time with Kushina, couldn't compare to the Nine-Tails' long association with her.
It wasn't surprising that Senju Night City, who had a close relationship with Kushina, could use the Uzumaki Clan's sealing techniques. But after over twenty years of being inseparable, the Nine-Tails instantly recognized that the "Night City" before them was a fake, all show and no substance!
What surprised and puzzled the Nine-Tails was that Kushina should have died over a decade ago, so why was she here now?
Indeed, the "Night City" that Naruto and his team were facing was actually Kushina in disguise. Upon seeing her son in danger, Kushina couldn't sit still.
But she also remembered that it wasn't appropriate to reveal her identity, so the Night City beside her suggested that she could act in his stead.
As for Night City himself, after Kushina provided him with an alibi, he took the opportunity to settle some scores with some old Leaf veterans.
The Third Hokage was definitely finished after the war, even without the Dead Demon Consuming Seal; his aged body couldn't withstand the strain.
And soon after the Third stepped down, the Leaf Village would welcome the Fifth Hokage, a big and white successor.
To prevent any interference when Tsunade ascended to the position, Night City planned to bloodily purge the entire Leaf leadership!
