Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 577 Rock Berry
Minato had no intention of objecting to Lu Chen's decision. After all, the Nine-Tailed Fox had already followed Lu Chen. As for how he planned to treat the Nine-Tailed Fox, that was his own business. With Lu Chen's strength, even raising the Nine-Tailed Fox as a pet wouldn't be a problem, so he wouldn't get involved.

Minato nodded to Lu Chen and said, "Then let's remove the seal on the Nine-Tails first. You guys follow me."

Lu Chen and Jiuwei followed Minato to a hidden house. This matter involved dangerous tailed beasts, so naturally they had to be placed in a safer place.

Several Anbu have set up a barrier around here, and they control everything here. If there is any mistake in the process of unlocking the seal, they will control the tailed beast here.

Although the Sandaime knew that even if the Nine-Tails suddenly went berserk, there would be no danger, and Lu Chen was sure that he could thwart the riot of the tailed beast. However, he believed that he had to show Konoha's attitude in front of Lu Chen. So all this was arranged by him.

Minato walked into the room and nodded to Kushina, who was sitting in the middle of a complex seal. It seemed that Konoha was well prepared for this operation. They had considered a lot of things.

Minato looked at Kushina who was in the center of the seal and said to Lu Chen, "We are ready. It's time for you to use your amazing [magic]."

Lu Chen nodded. Since everyone in Konoha has prepared everything, let's get it done as soon as possible.

Then Lu Chen took out a hard-covered book that looked ordinary. Although it looked without any special features, Kushina, who had a strong sense of the surroundings, saw that the air around Lu Chen was distorted when he took out the book, as if everything around him could not withstand its power.

Lu Chen took out the nameless spell book that recorded all the magic in the world.

The Nine-Tailed Fox also became nervous when it saw the book. As a tailed beast that aggregates chakra, it also sensed the extraordinary nature of the book. It already had a high opinion of Lu Chen, but even the Six Paths Sage did not have such a thing. The artifact in the hands of the Six Paths Sage did not have such power.

"I will cast a magic that will exempt you from the punishment of death, so that you will not fall into death after the tailed beast is stripped away."

After saying that, Lu Chen held the nameless spell book and released several spells in succession to Kushina, such as the mercy of the twin Sala trees, the fire of the phoenix, and other magic to avoid death.

As for the magic scrolls, Lu Chen planned to give them to Nagato when the time came. After all, using magic according to the world props would not waste these magic scrolls. These magic scrolls should play an important role.

Magic circles continued to appear around Kushina, and then they flickered with light. She could feel a strong life force emerging from her body.

After the spell was cast, Lu Chen put the Nameless Spellbook back and cut off the connection between the Nine-Tailed Fox and Kushina. It was then up to Minato to remove the seal on Kushina. He was a master of sealing techniques, and the most important thing was that Kushina was his wife.

Feeling the power, Kushina said to Minato with high morale: "Go ahead, Minato, don't hesitate. I think his magic has taken effect."

Lu Chen also nodded and said: "It has indeed taken effect, let's open it now."

So Minato walked to Kushina and pressed his hand on her abdomen, and the Bagua Seal was completely opened by him.

A powerful roar erupted from the Nine-Tailed Fox standing beside Lu Chen. The seal still limited its power, so the power it had previously displayed was only a fraction. The Anbu who had set up the barrier outside could not help but increase their strength. It looked like the Nine-Tailed Fox was about to cause trouble.

After regaining its full strength, Jiuwei raised his head and looked at Lu Chen, then pretended to be lazy and lay down to the side.

I was kidding. How could I possibly cause trouble next to this monstrous man? This man, like Hashirama Senju, had pinned down and beaten Uchiha Madara, and I couldn't even think straight in front of him. I didn't want to get beaten again.

After the Nine-Tails was freed from its seal, an aura of decay began to appear on the Jinchūriki.

It looked like Kushina was dying, and then several magic circles appeared on her body.

The resurrection magic triggered by near-death began to take effect, and Kushina burst out with a powerful vitality. Without the Nine-Tails' interference, the Uzumaki clan's vast chakra was fully utilized. Although she could forcibly snatch chakra from the Nine-Tails, under normal circumstances, the Nine-Tails actually served as a debuff to her.

Furthermore, Lu Chen's previously free-flowing life-enhancing magic had helped Kushina grow stronger, and after shedding the Nine-Tails, Kushina was even more powerful than before. Furthermore, the unused magical power didn't dissipate; instead, it was all transferred to the baby within Kushina's body, leaving the unborn child in a state of neither life nor death.

Minato couldn't help but ask a random question when he saw the state of his wife: "Kushina, are you okay?"

"Of course I feel great now."

Minato couldn't help but sigh and said, "I'm glad you're okay." For him, it wasn't a good thing for his wife to become a Jinchūriki. It was just his responsibility as Hokage.

After thinking for a while, Lu Chen finally gave up the idea of giving the substitute arrow to Minato.

After all, who knows what the people of Konoha are really like? If a few people die on the spot after the substitute arrow is stabbed, it will be difficult to explain. If Sarutobi Hiruzen feels that he stole the Nine-Tails and didn't want to pay, wouldn't that ruin his reputation?

After rummaging through his pocket for a long time, he pulled out a devil fruit and threw it to Minato. He had already given one to Gai, so giving another to Minato wasn't a big deal.

"If you eat it, it will turn into magma. This ability to launch attacks over a large area should be enough to deal with the loss of Konoha after losing the Nine-Tails."

While the Four-Tails can control lava, the Devil Fruit offers no risk of losing control compared to the Tailed Beasts. Furthermore, elementalization grants immunity to many physical attacks, making it an extremely useful item for fragile ninjas.

In general, this fruit has many benefits. If Lu Chen hadn't been unable to eat the devil fruit, this fruit would definitely be within his consideration. Although a ball of magma can be turned into powder for a strong man who can punch the moon away, it is very difficult for a strong man at the level of Kage to turn into magma.

So Lu Chen asked temptingly: "Do you want to eat it now?"
