Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 228 Dark Kushina: I'll Do It! (Please Subscribe)

"So what if you find out? I'm not going to help you anyway."

After Uchiha Yangyi finished speaking, he saw Kushina looking up as if she wanted to continue pleading, so he interrupted her and said, "It's okay to tell you. My eye technique can bring life back to life. As long as a person is not dead, I can save them. But if I use my eye technique on an Edo Tensei body, I can also restore their life and truly revive them. However, that will consume a lot of energy."

"Nawaki is just a genin. The amount of eye power he used up has made it impossible for me to use my Sharingan for a long time. If it were Minato Namikaze, my Sharingan might go blind, so I won't agree."

This is obviously an exaggeration. Even if the power of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is completely depleted, it will eventually recover. However, this is the Uchiha clan's top secret, and only those who have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan can see the contents of the stone tablet.

Kushina, being an outsider, naturally didn't understand; moreover, she learned from various sources that Uchiha Yoichi had paid a considerable price.

It now seems that reviving Minato might have consumed one of his Mangekyou Sharingan eyes, no wonder.

Kushina pondered in her heart. She knew something about how important the Sharingan was to the Uchiha clan, especially Uchiha Yoichi's Mangekyou Sharingan, which had turned the tide of war several times.

Such important eyes. Kushina thought it was impossible, no wonder he rejected her outright.

Moreover, her relationship with Uchiha Yoichi was maintained entirely through Uzumaki Mina, a member of her clan. If one had to pinpoint any connection between them, it would only be that they interacted when they were in her sealed space.

"From now on, I will provide you with the Nine-Tails' chakra every day."

"You think you can use this method to get me to revive Minato Namikaze? Kushina, you're being incredibly naive."

Uchiha Yoichi clicked his tongue and said, "The Nine-Tails originally belonged to the village; you were merely a vessel for a Jinchuriki. Even counting from the Sage of Six Paths, the Nine-Tails should have belonged to the Senju and Uchiha clans. Besides, it was first captured by Uchiha Madara and then sealed by the First Hokage. What does that have to do with you, Uzumaki Kushina?"

These words made Kushina feel so ashamed that she lowered her head, her red hair flowing down her cheeks and almost touching the ground.

If that's the case, then she probably has no hope at all.

"I'm just so unwilling to accept this. Nawaki could be resurrected, so why can't Minato even see Naruto?"

As Kushina spoke, she slowly began to sob.

If it weren't for the negative emotional impact of Nawaki's revival and the Nine-Tails' chakra, Kushina might have gradually recovered from her grief, raised Naruto, and watched him become a ninja.

However, the example of resurrection before her eyes gave Kushina hope, but she was then affected by the negative emotions of the Nine-Tails' chakra, and her resentment and dark thoughts gradually grew.

Now, the idea of ​​reviving Minato Namikaze might be a wish of Dark Kushina, or something Kushina herself desires. After all, they are one person, and Dark Kushina is also Kushina's own thought.

"Are you willing to give anything to bring Minato back to life?"

Upon hearing this, Kushina abruptly raised her head, and hope reappeared in her eyes. Even though her eyes were filled with tears, they couldn't dim her hopeful gaze.

Kushina then said somewhat impatiently, "Yo-Yo-kun, is there any other way? If I can do it, I definitely will."

"Anything is fine?"

Uchiha Yoichi repeated the question, then glanced at the strategy guide again before continuing to Kushina, "What if I used your body? Would you be willing to revive Minato Namikaze by sacrificing your body?"

"付 (fù), meaning to give one's body"

Kushina paused for a moment after hearing this, but she continued to ask, though she had a bad feeling about it.

"It's just like you think. By sacrificing your body, you can revive Minato Namikaze, and your family of three can be reunited. Or you can find a way to revive someone yourself."

Uchiha Yoichi repeated himself. After he finished speaking, Kushina's expression and eyes changed, and her gaze towards Uchiha Yoichi was filled with various emotions.

Moreover, her favorability rating dropped by twenty points instantly, but this was Kushina's only option.

"If you don't want to, go back sooner rather than later, eliminate your dark side, and then go back to the village to raise Naruto Uzumaki properly."

After saying that, Uchiha Yangyi stopped talking. Talking about anything else would have little effect, so it was up to Kushina to decide.

But this was the only hope she heard after she was almost in despair, like a straw offered to a drowning person; now there were only two choices: grasp the straw and live, or discard the straw and sink.

After a moment of silence, Kushina got up and left without making a sound.

Back in her tent, Kushina lay silently, unable to fall asleep for a long time. Her thoughts were in turmoil until the next morning.

She didn't close her eyes all night. The next morning, after eating something, Kushina continued to confront her darkness at the Real Falls.

Sitting on a rock in the lake, Kushina closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw only darkness within herself.

As soon as Dark Kushina appeared, she immediately scolded, "The chance to save Minato is right in front of you, what are you still hesitating for!"

"To save him in such a dirty way, by betraying Minato, neither I nor Minato would want to see this happen. If he finds out, he will blame me!"

Kushina shouted, then quickly created ten shadow clones, each of which used a Rasengan to attack Dark Kushina.

"It's useless. I am you. I know everything you can do, and your attacks seem weak and ineffective to me!"

As soon as Dark Kushina finished speaking, she immediately used the same ninjutsu, creating ten shadow clones that used Rasengan to collide with Kushina's shadow clone Rasengan.

After a violent impact, the shadow clones dissipated from each other.

"Since you didn't want to revive Minato in this dirty way, why didn't you refuse?"

Dark Kushina smiled and said to Kushina, "You want to revive Minato and live a happy life as a family of three; but you also want to preserve your chastity, so you're torn until dawn."

"Just give yourself to me, I'll decide for you. I am you, and I'll do a better job of deciding than you do!"

"You're dreaming!"

Kushina was exposed by her dark self for revealing the thoughts that had been lingering in her heart, and then, enraged, she attacked the dark Kushina.

However, with equal strength but lacking sufficient determination, Kushina was unable to defeat her dark self, and couldn't even accept her dark self.

A few days later, Kushina felt increasingly helpless and desperate.

If Minato cannot be revived, nor can the darkness within him be resolved, then the darkness within him will only grow stronger, and he might do things that harm the village or Naruto in the future.

After thinking about this, Kushina was once again caught in a dilemma and wavering, but at this moment the scales had already tipped.

One night, Kushina once again failed in her battle against her dark self. This time, Kushina's defeat was even more complete. After a long battle with her dark self, she was mentally exhausted.

So she lost directly to Dark Kushina, and was completely trampled underfoot by her dark self.

"You're such a useless guy. You couldn't bring Minato back, you couldn't defeat 'me' to return to Naruto's side, and now you've been defeated by me. You've been hesitating and unable to choose. Give me your body, and I will make the most important decision!"

You're dreaming.

"Do you still have any room to resist? And don't forget, I am you, and I know what you're thinking."

Dark Kushina grabbed Kushina by the collar, gave her a wicked smile, and then tossed her into the lake.

"don't want."

Kushina tried to struggle, but found that she had no strength left and could only helplessly sink to the bottom of the lake, slowly being sealed by the dark shackles.

However, after being enveloped in darkness, Kushina found herself as if she had become a tailed beast. Although she could not move her body, she could feel the actions that the dark Kushina was controlling her body to perform.

She was still connected to her five senses, but she couldn't control them or even take any action. She could only watch as the darkness controlled her body.

"Hmph, you should have given yourself to me a long time ago!"

After taking control of her body, Dark Kushina almost burst into laughter, but then she remembered that Uchiha Yoichi was nearby, so she suppressed her desire to control her body.

"No, we can't release the Nine-Tailed Fox for now. That stinky fox has ill intentions and wants to use me to release it. Hmph, dream on."

Dark Kushina quickly calmed down. As for what to do next, she still needed to keep it from Uchiha Yoichi as much as possible. Compared to the Nine-Tails imprisoned in the cell, that man was more dreadful to her.

"Just watch, Kushina. Leave the decision to revive Minato to me. Once Minato is revived, your obsession should disappear. Then let me live well in your place."

Dark Kushina murmured to herself, and Kushina, bound by the shackles of darkness, could hear her words clearly.

"No, I won't agree. You can't use my body for this kind of thing."

However, the real Kushina was powerless to resist; in the struggle just now, she had already lost to her dark self.

Now all we can do is watch helplessly as Dark Kushina uses her body to do whatever she wants.

Not long after emerging from the Real Waterfall, Dark Kushina sensed someone approaching.

At this moment, only that man remained. Dark Kushina became alert upon realizing this, but she quickly adjusted her mindset and faced Uchiha Yoichi with Kushina's original thoughts and emotions.

Soon, Uchiha Yoichi arrived at the True Waterfall. Upon seeing Kushina, he didn't notice anything amiss.

He tossed her a scroll and said to Kushina, "There are half a month's worth of supplies in here. The sea turtle is now near the Land of Fire's waters. You can stay here and train. I'll send you supplies every two weeks. Don't even think about sneaking back."

After saying that, Uchiha Yoichi prepared to leave.

However, Kushina Darkness called out, "Wait a minute, Yoichi-kun."

Uchiha Yoichi stopped, turned around, and said, "What's wrong? If you want to see Naruto, I can bring you some photos, but you don't need to go back until you defeat your dark side."

"It's not about Naruto, it's about reviving Minato. I promised to do that, and I hope that Yoichi-kun can revive Minato in the future."

Dark Kushina spoke up, determined not to be like her cowardly self, agonizing over something and hesitating.

After Minato is resurrected, the real Kushina will disappear, and she will replace Kushina!

"Yoichi-kun, I'm begging you. I desperately need to revive Minato, even if it means using my own body!"

After saying that, Dark Kushina bowed at a ninety-degree angle.

"It's possible, but Kushina, what's wrong with you?"

Uchiha Yoichi glanced at the strategy guide and could only marvel at its power; even the appearance of Dark Kushina had been predicted by the strategy AI.

Are you really sure?

"Yes, I am willing to pay any price to revive Minato. This has been my decision from the very beginning."

Dark Kushina spoke, but the real Kushina felt even more helpless upon hearing this. After being imprisoned by Dark Kushina, she could only watch helplessly as Dark Kushina used her body...

"Go wash up, you're all dirty. I'll come find you later."

After speaking to Dark Kushina, Uchiha Yoichi left temporarily. He needed to prepare some things, as Dark Kushina was even more difficult to deal with than Kushina herself. According to the strategy guide, it would be best to prepare several cameras to record the good times.

There's also the ungraded aphrodisiac potion he made as a practice last time. It's an introductory lesson for alchemists, and he always carries it with him.

"Just you wait, Kushina, I'll bring Minato Namikaze back to life."

After Uchiha Yoichi left, Dark Kushina spoke to Kushina, who was chained in the depths of darkness; however, the latter immediately retorted angrily, "Even if Minato were to be resurrected, he would never forgive you for such behavior."

"Do you still want to see Minato? Do you still want Naruto to have a father?"

Dark Kushina's words rendered Kushina, trapped in the shackles of darkness, speechless; if she didn't harbor the desire to revive Minato, why would she be so fixated on this?

"Don't forget, I am you. Are you still afraid to face the reason you lost to me?"

After saying that, Dark Kushina ignored Kushina and left her to reflect on her actions in the darkness.

"That's really dirty."

Having been here for several days, Kushina hadn't washed herself in a long time, except for washing her face and brushing her teeth. This made Dark Kushina frown after smelling her.

These words were naturally heard by the real Kushina, who couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry. They were both Kushina, so why was she being looked down upon?

Fortunately, the scrolls that were sent earlier contained all the necessary supplies, including a change of clothes. Although they weren't the clothes Kushina usually wore, they were enough for her to wear.

Kushina Darkness found a secluded spot by a lake and began to clean herself.

After washing her body, Kushina's skin became fair and smooth again. Although she had given birth to Naruto, her body had not changed shape. Her legs were still straight and long, and she also had a plump appearance.

Naruto's pacifier was a slightly darker color, and she had a little bit of barely noticeable fat on her lower abdomen. It was only noticeable when she sat down; if she stood up, the fat on her lower abdomen was almost invisible.

After washing herself, Dark Kushina dressed in clean clothes and returned to the True Waterfall to wait quietly.

"Kushina, are you ready?"

Upon seeing Uchiha Yangyi appear before her, Dark Kushina couldn't help but feel a little shy and fearful. However, she secretly made up her mind that she was not a weak person like Kushina, and said, "Yes, I won't go back on my word."

"Alright then, let's go inside the tent."

After saying that, Uchiha Yoichi reached out and put his arm around Kushina's waist. This simple action made Dark Kushina tense up all over.

However, Kushina Darkness held back and followed Yoichi Uchiha into the tent.

The tent is quite large inside, and it even has the mattress that Kushina has been sleeping on these past few days, enough for two people to rest.

Uchiha Yoichi picked Kushina up and carried her to the mattress.

"Yang Yi-jun, slow down."

The next morning, long after sunrise, Turtle Island finally fell silent.

Uchiha Yoichi was also drenched in sweat, and slowly walked out of the tent, supporting his waist.

Kushina was simply covered with a thin blanket and was still fast asleep, but her brows were slightly furrowed and she would occasionally mutter "Minato".

"This was truly my limit; I never imagined I'd need to rest for two days straight."

Although it was supposed to be two days, Uchiha Yoichi felt that it would take him four or five days to recover. He was already feeling some back pain, and as for Kushina in the tent, she wouldn't wake up until at least tonight.

He had to feed her water and food along the way, but fortunately Kushina had taken a remedy to restore her strength beforehand.
