Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

"Nine-faced Suvaha".

The chanting echoed in the rain, Mianma formed hand seals, and chakra spread out from him like ripples.

"Blue, White, Vermilion, Black, Void, South, North, Three Jade".

With a roar, nine summoning beasts of different shapes and powerful auras appeared one by one! They also wore masks of different styles, standing behind Menma, their cold gazes all directed at the two tailed beast monsters opposite them that were emitting an ominous red light.

"roar--!!!"

The roars of the nine-faced beasts mingled with the frenzied howls of the monsters, instantly drowning out the torrential rain, colliding fiercely across the vast plain.

Was that a threatening roar? Or the agonizing howl of a imprisoned soul? Menma couldn't tell. Theoretically, these beings, twisted by both Edo Tensei and Tailed Beast chakra, had long since lost their own will.

"Whoosh—!"

The enormous crimson chakra claws once again tore through the air, and suddenly split and multiplied in mid-air, turning into dozens of deadly scarlet trails, attempting to engulf Menma and the Nine-Faced Beast!

"Disperse!"

At Mianma's command, the Nine-Faced Beast and his true form instantly transformed into afterimages, spreading out in all directions with astonishing speed and perfect coordination, launching counterattacks from various tricky angles!

Azure Dragon and White Tiger bravely met the most concentrated claw attacks head-on, using their hard shells and strong bodies to withstand the onslaught, creating an opportunity for their companion.

The Southern Dipper Sage and the Northern Dipper Sage hovered in mid-air, their staffs weaving together to form a purple sealing array that suddenly lit up beneath the feet of the two tailed beast-transformed monsters.

However, just as the seal's light shone, the two monsters let out an even more frenzied roar. Relying on the terrifying brute force granted by the tailed beast chakra, their bodies trembled violently, tearing apart the not-yet-fully-formed sealing array and breaking free!

Immediately afterwards, one of the monsters raised its huge red claw and slammed it down onto the ground!

"boom--!!!"

Centered on the point of impact, a ring-shaped shockwave mixed with debris spread rapidly outwards, forcing several nine-faced beasts that were trying to get close to temporarily avoid its attack.

It seems that the Nine-Faced Beast's power alone is insufficient to suppress these two monsters who have combined the vortex physique with the tailed beast's chakra. The most effective way to deal with the tailed beasts is naturally...

With a lightning-fast movement, the masked figure charged forward, while a burst of golden light shone behind him!

"Diamond Lockdown!"

Several golden chains imbued with sealing power shot out from the sky, heading towards the core of the two monsters, intending to completely bind them.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

However, a piercing clang of metal rang out! The numb golden chains were intercepted halfway by something that also shone with golden light, and tightly bound!

That was... a power also originating from the Uzumaki clan's bloodline! Behind the two tailed beast-transformed monsters, incredibly strong golden chains extended, stubbornly resisting Menma's seal.

Unfortunately, Orochimaru, who was focused on his battle with the Third Hokage at the moment, was far from mastering the Impure World Reincarnation technique and could not observe the battle situation in the distance in real time through the eyes of the impure body.

Otherwise, this Vajra Lock, which shares the same origin, might instantly shatter his insane misunderstanding that "Menma is Minato Namikaze."

However, since the misunderstanding has not been cleared up...

In the distance, Orochimaru's contingency plan, which he had prepared in advance to confirm this crucial information, would continue to be executed ruthlessly, just as he had initially predicted.

...An even more ferocious roar came from afar. Was it Shukaku? But Menma couldn't afford to be distracted at this moment. He had originally planned to at least send his mother's soul off in the most dignified way. However, reality cruelly confronted him—although his strength far surpassed the two controlled bodies opposite him, completing the seal in a short time without causing additional damage was almost an impossible task.

A self-deprecating smile crept into my heart, mocking my own naiveté. I couldn't hesitate any longer.

Mianma slowly raised his right hand, and a terrifying energy began to gather and compress wildly in his palm. The sphere, seemingly capable of devouring all light, contained destructive energy that distorted the surrounding air.

"Spiral Wheel Yu".

The next moment, he moved! His speed was like a flash, easily dodging the successive attacks of the Tailed Beast Chakra Cannons, and charging towards one of the Tailed Beast-transformed monsters!

Subdue him, then forcibly seal him away—that's his only plan at this moment.

The pitch-black spiral wheel was about to slam down hard onto that raging crimson body...

But just a moment before contact—

Time seemed to be stretched infinitely, becoming eternal.

The crimson chakra covering the monster's face vanished abruptly like the receding tide, revealing the true face that had been hidden beneath—Kushina Uzumaki, the face of his mother whom he could only sketch in photographs and imagination, appeared clearly and unguardedly in his field of vision.

However, those eyes, which should have been full of warmth and vitality, were now empty and dim. The constraints of the Impure World Reincarnation and the erosion of the Tailed Beast Chakra had left her in a sickly, deeply tormented state, with a sense of unease and paranoia etched into the very nature of her body.

The morbid experiments dimmed his eyes, and an ineradicable greed eroded his heart.

Orochimaru, in order to verify, he can use anything.

"..."

Mianma's body was instantly bound as if by shackles, frozen in mid-air! The spiral wheel, which was condensed with destructive power, had not encountered any substantial defense, but instead crashed into a wall of sighs built of bloodline, which was absolutely insurmountable, and could no longer move forward even a millimeter!

In that fatal moment of hesitation—

"Bang!!!"

Crimson chakra once again covered that gentle face, transforming into a ferocious beast's head. A red fist, formed from malice, rapidly enlarged in the pupils and slammed solidly into the mask!

The immense impact sent him flying backward, crashing heavily onto the muddy ground and splashing water everywhere.

Click...

With a crisp sound, the fox mask that had been concealing his face finally shattered and slipped off under this blow.

At this moment, with the power of the mysterious card, Naruto's body is no longer a shadow clone, but shows his complete future appearance after he has grown up.

When the mask falls off, the black disguise also fades away, and the blond hair and azure eyes are exposed without any concealment in the cold rain.

"……sorry."

The whisper was almost swallowed by the wind and rain, and the moment the words fell, his numb face returned to its icy gaze. He raised his hand again, and the deep, dark spiral wheel, carrying an even more condensed and powerful energy fluctuation than before, re-condensed in his palm.

The next moment, his figure blurred, and once again, at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, he launched a resolute charge towards one of the tailed beast monsters, Uzumaki Kushina!

"roar!"

The monster roared furiously, unleashing a barrage of tailed beast chakra cannons from its mouth, but they could only futilely tear apart the afterimages it left behind, unable to touch the real thing in the slightest.

Seeing that the ranged attack was ineffective, several golden Vajra Locks suddenly shot out from behind the monster, wrapping around Mianma and trying to bind him to the spot!

"roar--!"

The Nine-Faced Beasts, which had been recalled earlier and were now in action again, let out a deafening roar. They carried out their master's will and charged forward without fear, using their massive bodies to smash into the deadly golden chains, buying Menma that fleeting opening!

The tailed beast monster's attention was momentarily diverted by this sudden obstruction. Its crimson claws instinctively changed direction and slammed down on the nine-faced beasts that dared to block its way!

It's now!

Menma's figure flickered once more in the rain—Flying Thunder God Technique!

He teleported precisely to the side of a blue dragon-faced beast that was bracing itself against the chains. Without the slightest hesitation, he closed his eyes and thrust his arm, gripping the Spiral Wheel, forward with a powerful jerk!

The jet-black spiral wheel, precisely and without any deviation, imprinted itself on the tailed beast-transformed monster!

The compressed destructive energy instantly invaded and erupted! The thick, crimson tailed beast chakra cloak trembled violently and shattered inch by inch.

Without the protection of the tailed beast's chakra, Menma suddenly opened his eyes, and the Adamantine Lock, which had been prepared behind him, shot out instantly!

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

This time, there were no obstacles. Several golden chains precisely wrapped around the figure, locking it firmly in place, and the powerful sealing force began to purify and strip away all external erosion.

The crimson hue completely faded, peeling away a layer of painful shell to finally reveal the real, bewildered figure beneath—Kushina Uzumaki.

Menma formed the final sealing seal. Guided by chakra, the dark sealing runes began to spread rapidly across the impure body.

As the black runes spread to her slender neck, the spell, which symbolized the forceful erasure of will, began to melt, disintegrate, and finally vanish completely.

Consciousness, like a drowning person who has sunk to the bottom of the deep sea, finally rises to the surface and gains a brief moment of clarity.

Kushina Uzumaki's previously empty eyes trembled slightly, slowly focusing. She looked blankly at the face so close to hers… Why… did this child look so familiar?

It's as if it's engraved deep in the soul.

Is he...crying?

Why were his face covered in tears? His eyes, as blue as the sky, were filled with a bottomless sorrow that she could not comprehend, almost overflowing.

Are they tears? Or... rainwater?

Her vision blurred, and her consciousness flickered like a candle in the wind. But the contours of that face, the spirit between those brows, slowly overlapped with the figure in her memory—the one she had clung to even in her final moments, the one she cherished so dearly, the one from whom even death could not bear to part…

That name, that throbbing from the deepest part of her blood, even faster than her regained consciousness, had already slipped out of her lips.

The voice was soft, hoarse and weak from just regaining consciousness, yet it contained endless tenderness and a hint of unbelievable confirmation.

"...Naruto?"
