Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode.

Chapter 98 Diamond Lockdown

"Nine-Tailed Fox!"

Tsunade looked at the fox head formed from red chakra and said with a grim expression.

She wanted to go up and help, but there was nothing she could do.

Her sealing techniques weren't very good either. Like Nawaki, she hadn't studied properly back then, so she lacked talent in learning sealing techniques.

"grandmother!"

Nawaki noticed that Mito looked extremely uncomfortable. Although her body showed great fear of the sudden appearance of this malevolent and evil chakra, she still overcame her physical and mental fear with her strong will and immediately used Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

With a "bang~" sound.

After a puff of white smoke, more than a dozen rope trees immediately rushed up.

But the fox head on Mito's head suddenly revealed a mocking smile. It opened its mouth wide and let out a roar. A powerful chakra instantly transformed into a shockwave that swept in all directions, and Nawaki's shadow clones were immediately shattered.

"hateful."

Seeing this, Rope Tree said unwillingly, and resolutely wanted to use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique again.

But at that moment, Tsunade stopped him, saying, "Don't be impulsive, calm down, don't make things worse."

"but."

Nawaki instinctively wanted to argue, but seeing her sister's serious expression and Kirito's rapid hand seals beside her, she immediately quieted down.

Kirito's rapid hand seals quickly caught the attention of Kurama, which had been inside Mito's body all along and knew just how monstrous Kirito's sealing techniques were. It instantly realized that Kirito was preparing some powerful sealing technique to deal with it.

Having finally found an opportunity to ambush Mito while she was weakened, and temporarily freed a portion of its chakra from the seal, how could it possibly let Kirito ruin its plan to completely break free of the seal? It immediately roared at Kirito, "You brat, you're asking for it!"

As they were talking, the fox head opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Kirito.

Tsunade immediately attacked with her chakra scalpel, but it was ineffective and she could not stop the Nine-Tails.

The attack methods used by Momoka were also similar.

"ah!!!"

At the critical moment, Kushina shouted, and a huge golden chakra chain suddenly shot out from her stomach, knocking back the fox head formed by Kurama's chakra a distance.

Sealing Technique: Adamantine Lockdown!

"here you go."

Upon seeing this, Kirito exclaimed in admiration.

Thanks to Kushina buying him some time, his carefully prepared sealing technique was finally successfully released.

The next moment, three blue chakra chains covered with numerous sealing techniques were released from his body, quickly binding Mito, whose entire body was enveloped in the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Sealing Technique: Vajra Lockdown - Modified!

This sealing technique was improved upon by him based on the unique sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan, the Adamantine Sealing Chains. It removed the requirement of the Uzumaki clan's physique, allowing ordinary people to use it. Although this reduced the binding power of this sealing technique on the tailed beasts to some extent, it can still effectively bind the tailed beasts.

At this point, Kirito added a large number of binding sealing techniques to the chakra chains in addition to the conditions for using this sealing technique, further strengthening the binding ability of the chakra chains.

After the blue chakra chains bound Mito, the fox-headed creature, which had been about to pounce on Kirito again, suddenly let out a furious roar of defiance: "No, no, no!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the fox head transformed into a mass of unconscious Nine-Tails chakra, then exploded, unable to coalesce again.

At the same time, the Nine-Tails' chakra in Mito's body quickly returned to its dormant state.

Then, Mito opened her eyes, gave Kirito a relieved look, and then collapsed weakly onto the bed.

"grandmother."

"grandmother."

"Mito-sama."

Upon seeing this, Tsunade, Nawaki, and Momoka rushed over to check on Mito. They were relieved to find that she had only fainted, as they were genuinely afraid that something might have happened to her.

"Kirito, you're alright now."

After confirming that Mito was alright, Tsunade turned around and smiled at Kirito.

We really owe Kirito a lot this time. It's a good thing we brought him along, otherwise the Nine-Tails would have been released.

At the same time, her heart was filled with gloom.

Her grandmother's condition was more serious than she had imagined; she was truly nearing the end of her life. Her body was too weak, causing the sealing power within her to weaken. Otherwise, with her grandmother's abilities, how could she have allowed the Nine-Tails to have the opportunity to cause trouble?

This incident will inevitably reach her teacher's attention.

At that time, her grandmother will probably soon begin the Nine-Tailed Fox inheritance process.

There was no way around it; the Nine-Tails' power was simply too great.

If her grandfather were still alive, he would naturally not be afraid of the Nine-Tails and could subdue it in no time. But right now, Konoha really lacks strong individuals who can reliably subdue the Nine-Tails.

Once the Nine-Tails breaks free from its seal, given its hatred for Konoha, it will inevitably trigger a frenzied revenge from the village.

Even if the Nine-Tails is sealed again, Konoha will suffer heavy losses.

"Sigh~"

In the end, Tsunade could only sigh in her heart.

Even though she didn't want to see her grandmother die, everyone eventually passes away, and her grandmother's life had indeed come to an end naturally. No matter how skilled she was in medical ninjutsu, she was helpless in this situation.

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Kirito quickly withdrew the chakra chains binding Mito.

But then, the Nine-Tails' voice suddenly appeared in his mind: "Kid, I'll remember you."

When Kirito heard the voice, he suddenly found himself in a pitch-black space with ankle-deep water on the ground. Then, a pair of huge red eyes appeared in the darkness in front of him, staring at him with murderous intent.

"roar!!!"

The next moment, a terrifying roar containing a powerful chakra impact appeared, and Kirito screamed in agony before disappearing into the dark space.

In reality, Kirito opened his eyes, his body drenched in sweat and his face pale.

"This is the Nine-Tails. It's really powerful. I'm already struggling to restrain even a small amount of its chakra. If it were to escape from Mito's body, I would have no choice but to run away. With my current chakra level, the Adamantine Sealing Chains Modified is simply not enough to restrain the complete Nine-Tails on its own, not even a tenth of it."

Kirito gasped for breath, then closed his eyes, recalling the scene just now, and sighed inwardly.

He had just used the sealing technique, Adamantine Sealing Binding, to bind the Nine-Tails' chakra. This was the first time he had truly faced the Nine-Tails, the most powerful of the nine tailed beasts, deep within Mito's body. Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, the vast, ocean-like chakra emanating from it was truly astonishing and left a deep impression on him.

Using his current Vajra Seal to form chakra chains against it is like trying to bind a prehistoric behemoth with thin ropes; it's simply impossible to successfully restrain it.

Fortunately, he had only faced a small portion of the Nine-Tails' chakra this time, and he still had enough energy to force it back into Mito's body.

It's tough for a new author to get ahead, so I hope all my fellow readers will visit often to increase the readership. After you finish reading, I hope you'll vote for this book and invest in it. If you could give me some monthly tickets and rewards, I would be extremely grateful. It's so hard for a new author and a new book.
