Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 59 Nine-Tailed Fox, well done!

"I never imagined I'd ultimately succumb to death!"

Sensing that the Tailed Beast Ball above Mito's head was about to stabilize, Li Yao, still in mid-air, sighed and smiled.

He had no fear of death.

He was somewhat displeased that he hadn't been able to carry out all the revenge he had envisioned against the Third Hokage and Konoha.

No matter how upset you are, you can only face it with equanimity.

He is now completely incapable of resisting.

The amount of chakra accumulated and stored over many years, as well as the amount of chakra obtained by exploding all the acupoints, was also lost in the collapse and dissipation of the black iron chains just now.

In my past life, I read online about how powerful the Nine-Tailed Fox was, but you can't truly understand that kind of terror until you come to this world.

Your all-out effort is nothing more than a breath casually exhaled by the Nine-Tailed Fox.

This is the difference between Li Yao and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Buzz!"

A stronger and heavier wave of chakra spread out.

Above Mito's head, the Tailed Beast Ball had stabilized at a diameter of two meters.

A Tailed Beast Ball of this size can unleash a high-temperature sphere with a diameter of one kilometer and a core temperature of over six thousand degrees Celsius.

At this temperature, all defenses become useless, and everything instantly vaporizes.

For Li Yao, this was just right.

Death is painless; it happens in an instant.

"Nine-Tails!!!"

Just as Li Yao was preparing to face death, Mito Uzumaki suddenly let out a roar.

Then the golden Nine-Tails chakra on her body faded away, and in its place emerged a red Nine-Tails chakra tailed beast robe, enveloping her entire body.

Above Mito Uzumaki's head, the Tailed Beast Ball, containing terrifying energy, fell off piece by piece like rotten beams, turning into ashes and dissipating.

"..."

Li Yao was stunned by the sudden turn of events. In an instant, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, and soon his lips parted wide open.

"Hahaha!"

"Nine-Tails, well done!"

Li Yao laughed heartily as he watched Mito Uzumaki struggle with Kurama for control of her body, gloating over her misfortune.

shhhhh!

Seizing this brief moment, Li Yao quickly disappeared from Mito Uzumaki's sight and sped away from Konoha.

Mito Uzumaki, upon witnessing this scene, was filled with extreme rage.

"That damned Nine-Tails!"

Mito Uzumaki cursed inwardly, then immediately sat cross-legged, immersing her entire mind in the sealed space.

"You wretched woman, you'll never seal me away again."

Having finally managed to break free of most of the seal and stand up after Mito Uzumaki exhausted a large amount of Adamantine Sealing Chakra, causing the seal to loosen, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) did not want to be sealed again.

Inside Mito Uzumaki's sealed space, Kurama still had more than a dozen Vajra Seals stuck in his body. While grabbing the Vajra Seals and pulling them out, he swung his tail and attacked Mito Uzumaki's consciousness.

"Don't even think about escaping, Nine-Tails."

With a loud shout, Mito Uzumaki clapped his hands together, and instantly thousands of Vajra Locking Chains shot out from the sealed space.

Some wrapped around the Nine-Tails' tail and limbs, while others inserted themselves back into the Nine-Tails' body, absorbing its chakra for their own use while simultaneously sealing it away.

"That wretched, smelly woman!"

"That despicable Uzumaki clan!"

"That damned sealing technique!"

He sensed that Mito Uzumaki, that vile woman, was both stealing his chakra and using the stolen chakra to seal him with a sealing technique.

So hateful!

The hatred in Kurama's eyes was almost tangible as it stared intently at Mito Uzumaki.

He was truly fed up with this woman.

They were even more fed up with the family's sealing techniques.

bump bump!

Inside the sealed space, the Nine-Tails, unwilling to be sealed, went completely berserk, wreaking havoc and struggling in various ways.

The powerful hatred contained within her chakra was frantically eroding Mito Uzumaki's mental will.

Faced with the terrifying hatred chakra of the Nine-Tails, Mito Uzumaki had to devote a large part of her mind to dealing with and stabilizing her mental will, lest she be unable to withstand it and fall into a berserk state.

As a result, Kurama and Mito Uzumaki were briefly locked in a stalemate.

outside world.

The third generation arrived at Mito Uzumaki's side ahead of them on the Sarutobi-brand high-speed train.

"Mito-sama!"

The Third Hokage, carrying the Vajra Ruyi Jingu Bang (which had shrunk to its normal length), approached Mito Uzumaki, his muscles tense, his mind focused, as if facing a formidable enemy.

The crimson Nine-Tails Chakra Beast Cloak tightly wrapped around Mito Uzumaki's entire body, her nine tails swaying gently in the air, radiating waves of intense heat.

Mito Uzumaki kept her eyes closed, paying no attention to the Third Hokage's call, focusing instead on the battle with the Nine-Tails within the sealed space.

Upon seeing this, the third generation's expression became even more solemn.

If the Nine-Tails escapes, then... we absolutely cannot let the Nine-Tails escape.

The third generation was determined and immediately formed a hand seal.

"Shadow Clone Technique".

Bump, bump, bump.

The Third Generation created three shadow clones, which then quickly spread out, forming a square with its four corners standing upright.

"Four Purple Flame Formation!"

The Third Hokage unleashed the Four Purple Flame Barrier Technique, raising four barriers even thicker and more stable than the purple flame walls created by the four Anbu ninjas, sealing Mito Uzumaki in the center.

In this way, even if the Nine-Tails escapes, it will buy time for the sealing team to bring Kushina to the team and reseal the Nine-Tails.

However, if possible, the Third Hokage still hopes that Lady Mito can reseal the Nine-Tails.

This is during the Second Shinobi World War.

Konoha cannot afford to lose a powerful figure like Lord Mito, who wields immense influence over other ninja villages.

Otherwise... instead of just watching from the sidelines, Kumogakure and Kirigakure would have directly engaged Konoha in battle.

The Third Hokage was well aware of Mito-sama's importance to Konoha at this time.

Compared to Lord Mito, Li Yao, who escaped, was also in great danger, but he could only deal with him later.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Four members of the Anbu, who were three generations later, also arrived outside the barrier.

"Lord Hokage, this is...?"

The Third Hokage did not use a barrier to envelop himself, so the Anbu ninjas could communicate with him. When questioned by one of the Anbu ninjas, he shook his head without explaining anything, and simply instructed four Anbu ninjas to keep watch around him.

We'll discuss everything once Lady Mito reseals the Nine-Tails.

After a while, reinforcements from other ninja clans arrived.

Seeing Mito Uzumaki enveloped in the red Nine-Tails Chakra Beast Robe within the Four Purple Flame Formation, they instantly understood that Mito Uzumaki was currently fighting against the Nine-Tails, and they all spontaneously began to protect the area around the barrier.

At this moment, no one dared to cause trouble.

Even though everyone was curious about who could drive Mito to the point of losing control of the Nine-Tails, no one asked the Third Hokage at this time.

The Uchiha clan members also arrived.

They didn't ask any questions either.

Everyone is waiting for Mito Uzumaki to calm down.

Ten minutes later, the red Nine-Tails chakra on Mito Uzumaki's body gradually receded back into her body.

Inside the sealed space, the Nine-Tails helplessly watched as its body was once again pressed against the giant rock and sealed in eight pieces. It left behind only the harsh words, "I will come out sooner or later," before falling into complete silence.

Having resealed the Nine-Tails, Mito Uzumaki opened her eyes.

Then... his body suddenly swayed.

Even sitting cross-legged, she couldn't steady herself.

"Mito-sama!"

The Third Hokage, having dispelled the Four Purple Flame Formation, strode up to Mito Uzumaki.

"I'm fine."

Mito Uzumaki raised her hand to stop the Third Hokage from helping her up, took a deep breath, and stood up herself.

She is the wife of the God of Ninjas.

She could not tarnish her husband's reputation.

However, due to the depletion of a large amount of chakra, she can no longer maintain her youthful appearance and has even aged more than before.

His face had sparse wrinkles, and his white hair had a dry, grayish-white, and worn-out look.

Without the aid of a specially prepared sealing array in the secret chamber, he had to rely entirely on his own chakra to seal the Nine-Tails. For an old man whose lifespan was already nearing its end, the consumption of chakra was considerable.

Mito Uzumaki, who could have lived for several more years, now has at most six months to live after this battle.

"Mito-sama!"

"Mito-sama!"

The ninjas from other Konoha clans stepped forward. They had originally wanted to ask something, but seeing Mito's current state, their words turned into expressions of concern for her.

"Alright, everyone else can go back now."

"Monkey, come with me."

Mito Uzumaki waved her hand, telling the others to go back, and then called to the Third Generation and walked to the side.

The others hesitated to speak, wanting to know what had happened.

However, judging from Mito's expression, she clearly didn't want them to know.

Recalling the black chakra chains similar to those of the Uzumaki clan, the ninjas from various clans wore thoughtful expressions, realizing that today's commotion might be related to the Uzumaki clan.

Therefore, it is not convenient for them to ask any more questions now.

soon.

The commotion that had alarmed Konoha was calmed down by Mito Uzumaki with just a few words.

It must be said that Mito Uzumaki had a very high reputation in Konoha, especially among the high-ranking ninja of the ninja clans, far surpassing that of the Third Hokage.

At this moment, the Third Hokage followed Mito Uzumaki to the side with trepidation, while the four Anbu members stood far away, not daring to approach.
