Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 79 The End of an Era
"Are Tsunade or Nawaki already dead?"

Kushina was startled. To avoid affecting the seal of Mito's great-aunt, the village and her family had cut off a lot of information.

Unexpectedly, Mito's great-aunt guessed something.

Judging from Kushina's expression, Mito Uzumaki knew that she had guessed correctly.

"Is it Tsunade or Nawaki? It doesn't matter, just tell me, I'm going to die too."

"Great-aunt, it's Cousin Rope Tree."

Mito Uzumaki nodded and looked at her daughter-in-law, Rinki's wife, who was in tears.

"Don't be sad, whether it's my death or anyone else's."

The village is Hashirama's dream. It's a difficult and long road, and this is the best I can do.

"The village still has you all. You must continue, uphold Hashirama's dream, and be worthy of all the sacrifices made."

The Vajra Chains behind Mito Uzumaki suddenly swung and grabbed at the Nine-Tails in mid-air.

At this moment, all nine tails emerged, forming a semi-transparent nine-tailed creature in the air.

The Vajra Chains pierced through the Nine-Tails' nine tails, then turned in mid-air and flew towards Kushina.

Mito Uzumaki's powerful chakra prevented the Nine-Tails from going berserk or fully materializing; it remained semi-transparent.

Mito Uzumaki walked towards Kushina, guiding her with her left hand to use her right hand to form hand seals together.

Kushina's Vajra Chain flew out from her back and connected with Mito's Vajra Chain.

The nine tails of the Nine-Tails were pulled into Kushina's body along the connected Adamantine Chains.

"Mito Uzumaki! Aren't you going to leave me alone?"

Pierced by the Vajra Chains, the Nine-Tailed Fox's howl echoed through the night sky.

As the seal shifted, more and more Nine-Tails chakra surged out from Mito Uzumaki's body, and the Nine-Tails' form became increasingly solid.

Thousand Hands Linmu shouted:

"The Nine-Tails is starting to struggle! Senju Shinobi! Use the Combined Sealing Technique!"

More than nine hundred Senju ninjas simultaneously formed hand seals and pressed them onto the long scroll on the ground.

The scroll contained incantations resembling the Seal of Self-Karma.

The incantation flew out like chains, heading towards the Nine-Tails and climbing onto its body.

The Nine-Tails' torso and joints were locked in place by a combined sealing technique, rendering it unable to move.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "The Senju clan's combined sealing technique is truly powerful. It can actually gather the power of hundreds of people to lock up the Nine-Tails."

With the assistance of the Senju clan, the Nine-Tails' chakra continued to slowly enter Kushina's body.

The nine tails completely entered Kushina's body.

The two hind limbs of the Nine-Tails also entered Kushina's body.

Just as everything was going very smoothly, Ye Guang saw several people rushing towards him from a distance.

It was Danzo and his two assistants!

More importantly! Danzo's right eye was wrapped in bandages!

Suddenly, Ye Guang remembered the corpse of the Shimura clan boy. Orochimaru had gouged out the boy's eyeballs and sewed his eyelids to his brow bone, leaving two bloody holes.

During the time Danzo disappeared, was he going to Orochimaru to get an eye transplant?

Danzo stood behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, using Hiruzen's Hokage robe and straw hat to conceal his figure.

The Senju clan members couldn't see Danzo, but the light from the side could.

Danzo raised his hand and pointed his finger at the eyepatch over his right eye.

The blindfold has sealing runes, and it can block detection, preventing others from seeing what's underneath.

Danzo quickly lifted his bandaged eye patch and, using Hiruzen Sarutobi's Hokage hat as cover, briefly glanced at the Nine-Tails.

Former teammate Uchiha Kagami once said that he wanted to help the village get rid of the Nine-Tails' threat.

The Nine-Tails is like a sword hanging over Konoha, ready to fall at any moment.

The Sharingan is the eye that reflects the soul. What Uchiha Kagami longed for most in his heart became the ability of his Mangekyou Sharingan.

The Susanoo Armor is the core ability of Kagami Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan.

In Tobirama's notes, the disguised Susanoo is highly praised as the second best method of controlling the Nine-Tails after Wood Release. Such a method of controlling the Nine-Tails certainly cannot be allowed to be mastered by a mere Uchiha.

Danzo had possessed Uchiha Kagami's Sharingan for many years, but he had never dared to transplant it easily.

With Orochimaru's help, Danzo was finally able to use this eye with peace of mind.

The Nine-Tails, which was originally sealed by the combined sealing technique of Mito Uzumaki and Senju, paused for a moment.

It slowly moved its eyes, looking towards the Valley of the End, at the towering stone statue of Uchiha Madara.

An unusually powerful eye technique reminded Nine-Tails of something.

It felt as if it were once again in the Battle of the Valley of the End.

Madara Uchiha used Sharingan genjutsu to control it, putting the Susanoo Armor on its body, and colliding it fiercely with Hashirama Senju, who was standing on the Wood Release Buddha.

The Nine-Tails was originally controlled by the combined sealing techniques of the Adamantine Chains and the Thousand Hands, but another chakra appeared on the Nine-Tails.

This chakra instantly transformed into the armored Susanoo, as if dressing the Nine-Tails in armor.

Senju Rinki cried out in anguish, "Oh no! Why is there a Susanoo from the Uchiha clan here?!"

Senju Rinmoku looked around and saw no one except for the outer ANBU.

The armored Susanoo only appeared for a second or two before disappearing. However, the Senju combined sealing technique and Mito Uzumaki's Vajra Chains collapsed instantly.

The Nine-Tails regained its ability to move.

Without hesitation, it opened its mouth and condensed a Tailed Beast Ball.

"Stop it!"

All the Senju ninjas increased their chakra extraction, desperately pouring chakra into the sealing technique.

However, the Tailed Beast Ball kept getting bigger and bigger.

Mito Uzumaki raised her head, and her murky eyes instantly cleared.

She glanced at the outside first.

A thick plume of white smoke stood out starkly against the night sky; it was the smoke from Hiruzen Sarutobi's summoning of Enma.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had already removed his Hokage robes and hat, and was now wielding his Vajra Staff, smashing the surrounding forest as if some terrifying enemy had appeared there.

Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted, "We must find the culprit who broke the seal!"

The ANBU ninjas were darting around in the woods.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "You guys are really good actors."

Isn't Danzo right there in the white smoke behind you?
Mito Uzumaki said:
"I will restrain the Nine-Tails, but the rest of the sealing will have to be completed by you."

Two more Vajra Chains shot out from Mito Uzumaki's body, locking the Nine-Tails' neck and head, forcibly turning its head around.

The Nine-Tails struggled frantically, and Mito Uzumaki's Adamantine Chains were torn and clanged.

Blood flowed from Mito Uzumaki's mouth as she managed to twist Kurama's head at the last moment.

The Tailed Beast Ball shot out, not downwards, but diagonally upwards towards the distance.

The Tailed Beast Ball didn't hit the Senju ninja, and each of them breathed a sigh of relief.

The Nine-Tails' struggle also forcibly pulled Mito Uzumaki's two Adamantine Chains from her body.

A large chunk of Mito Uzumaki's flesh was torn off.

Blood gushed out, revealing a horrible, blood-red wound on Mito's back.

Mito Uzumaki coughed up a mouthful of blood and knelt down on the ground.

Mito Uzumaki struggled to straighten her back as she painstakingly completed the final hand seal.

"Kushina, I'm leaving. Don't be afraid, you will find someone to fill your heart..."

Only the upper half of the Nine-Tails remained suspended in mid-air, struggling.

If it weren't for the armored Susanoo, the seal would likely have been completed successfully.

However, Mito Uzumaki collapsed first.

The oldest matriarch in Konoha Village, whose body was as thin as a withered tree branch, collapsed to the ground and died.

An era has ended. Mito Uzumaki, the last of the generation that founded the village, sacrificed himself for the village.
