Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

He looked in the direction of the gaze and found that Orochimaru had arrived at some point. The man was standing next to the Third Hokage, looking at him with the eyes of someone looking at a treasure.

Kirito was not surprised by Orochimaru's arrival.

The other party is not only a disciple of the Third Hokage and possesses great strength, but is also a ninja proficient in sealing techniques. Although there was some unpleasantness between him and the Senju clan before due to the practice of sealing barriers, it is normal for the Third Hokage to bring him over to help resolve the misunderstanding.

Moreover, the opponent is the only person among Konoha's many ninjas proficient in sealing techniques to date who has learned his improved version of the sealing technique, Adamantine Lock.

"Since this guy was able to learn the improved version of the Diamond Sealing Technique, he must know that I can use natural energy. I just don't know if he has discovered any more of my secrets from the improved version of the Diamond Sealing Technique."

Kirito nodded calmly to Orochimaru, thinking to himself.

He dared not underestimate Orochimaru, who was someone who could exploit a bug in the Shinigami formed by the Reaper Death Seal.

He incorporated many of his own ideas about manipulating natural energy into his improved Adamantine Lock, so it's hard to say whether Orochimaru might deduce a lot from it.

However, he was in no mood to pay attention to Orochimaru. He glanced at the other man and then turned his gaze to the door behind the Third Hokage.

"It seems the teacher is planning to dedicate all his remaining time to Kushina."

Kirito looked at the door that remained unmoved and sighed inwardly.

He felt no jealousy towards Kushina, only pity.

As expected, once Kushina becomes the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, she will be locked in Konoha for the rest of her life, finding it difficult to leave the village even for a moment. Her daily life will also be filled with inconveniences, and before she has fully grown up, she will face many deadly dangers.

In addition, she has to constantly worry about the nine-tailed fox inside her causing trouble.

It can be said that after Kushina becomes the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, she will live in constant danger for a long time, and may even face discrimination from others.

Regarding Kushina becoming the new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the Third Hokage ordered everyone who knew about it to keep it a secret, but inevitably some people would accidentally leak it out.

Just like Naruto in the original work.

Adults who know the truth will fear Kushina because they fear the power of the Nine-Tails, and will subconsciously stay away from her and keep their children away from her.

On the other side, at the Hokage Rock of Konoha, on the Hokage Rock of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, a mysterious figure wearing a white spiral mask and shrouded in a black robe lay on it. He opened his eyes, revealing a pair of Sharingan with three tomoe.

"It's almost time, Mito. Let me see you off on your final journey."

Madara Uchiha looked at the sky in the east, which was already beginning to brighten, and sighed deeply.

He had previously said he would deliver the water to the water source on his final journey, and Madara Uchiha naturally meant to keep his word.

The Nine-Tails was once his pet and summoning beast, but later the Nine-Tails was sealed inside Mito's body, and the summoning contract between him and the Nine-Tails was forcibly broken.

But not long ago, he discovered that the long-dormant psychic contract between him and the Nine-Tails had re-emerged with a trace of connection.

His summoning contract with Kurama has been re-established, which means that Mito's seal has a loophole.

But based on his understanding of Mito, unless the woman was truly extremely weak, such an oversight was impossible.

Because of this small loophole, Madara Uchiha could have forcibly summoned the Nine-Tails from Mito's body through his summoning contract with the Nine-Tails. Even if he couldn't do that, he could have expanded the loophole in the seal.

At that time, the Nine-Tails will be able to break the seal and emerge on its own.

With this thought in mind, Madara Uchiha knew that the time for the water deliveryman's final journey had come.

So he had Tobi possess his body, and with the help of Tobi's Mayfly Technique, he quickly arrived in Konoha. Then, he briefly reminisced about his various connections with Konoha Village on the Hashirama Hokage Rock.

It's just that the time spent commemorating them was a little longer than expected.

Madara Uchiha stood up from the ground, then turned to look at the discovery in the Forest of Death, his eyes filled with hatred.

Mito Uzumaki, you woman should have died long ago.

The next moment, he bit a finger, quickly completed the hand seals for the summoning jutsu, and then slapped the Hokage Rock hard on the head.

Summoning Jutsu: Nine-Tails!

At the same time, in a pitch-black space deep within Mito's body, a chilling chakra suddenly appeared. The Nine-Tails, which was currently bound by a large number of golden chains, immediately opened its eyes. It looked at the suddenly appearing chakra with a puzzled expression, feeling that it was both familiar and strange.

Then, before it could react, the suddenly appearing chakra split into dozens of parts and attached itself to the golden chains on its body.

"Bouncing, bouncing, bouncing~"

In an instant, a large number of golden chains snapped one after another.

Seeing this, the Nine-Tailed Fox, though confused about what was happening, realized it was a good opportunity to break the seal and immediately struggled with all its might, letting out a deafening roar.

In reality, Mito suddenly let out a huge scream, and a large black hole suddenly appeared in her stomach. An incredibly powerful and evil red chakra burst out from Mito's body, turning into a red torrent that shot straight into the sky.

Chapter 123: The Nine-Tailed Fox's Legacy (Part 3)

Outside Mito's room, the moment the Nine-Tails' chakra leaked out, Kirito and the others immediately noticed it, and their expressions changed drastically.

The Third Hokage immediately burst through the door and saw Mito floating in mid-air with her eyes rolled back and a huge black hole appearing on her stomach, from which a continuous stream of Nine-Tails chakra was rapidly leaking out.

"Orochimaru, Kirito, stop the Nine-Tails from breaking the seal!"

Upon seeing this, the Third Hokage immediately shielded the bewildered Kushina behind him and then shouted anxiously.

Then, he took off his divine robe, revealing the battle suit he was already wearing underneath. He then bit his finger and quickly used a summoning technique to summon his powerful summoning beast, the Ape Demon.

With a loud "bang".

A white-haired ape wearing a Konoha headband appeared in the room.

"Hey, Hiruzen, this situation is really bad."

As soon as Enma emerged, he saw a large amount of Nine-Tails chakra leaking from Mito's body, and said with a solemn expression.

"I know, Ape Demon, please transform into the Vajra Ruyi Staff."

The third generation smiled bitterly.

Without another word, the Monkey King transformed into a large black club and landed in the Third Hokage's hand.

At the same time, Kirito and Orochimaru had successfully used the modified version of the Adamantine Sealing Technique. More than ten blue chakra chains shot out from the two of them, quickly reaching towards Mito and then binding her tightly.

The rapidly leaking Nine-Tails chakra immediately showed signs of slowing down.

"Hmph, you won't be able to suppress me again this time."

But at that moment, a huge voice filled with hatred exploded in their minds.

The next moment, an even more powerful chakra surge erupted from Mito's body, instantly snapping all the blue chakra chains binding her.

Kirito and Orochimaru were immediately attacked by the backlash and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

At the same time, the massive impact generated by the chakra fluctuations sent everyone in the room flying out.

Not only that, the roof of the villa was blown off, and Mito was thrown into the sky.

But a blue chakra chain quickly wrapped around her, holding her tightly and preventing her from flying away.

At the crucial moment, Kirito once again used the sealing technique, Adamantine Lock, to bind Mito.

"You reckless brat."

At that moment, Kurama's voice appeared in Kirito's mind again.

"Don't even think about taking my teacher away, you filthy fox."

Kirito roared in anger.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Yin Seal between his eyebrows was finally opened, and a powerful wave of chakra burst out from Kirito's body, instantly bathing his entire body in a blue chakra light that resembled flames.

Then, a large number of blue chakra chains shot out from his body.

"That damn Kirito!"

Upon seeing this, the Nine-Tailed Fox instantly sensed immense danger and roared in anger.

In order to avoid being suppressed again, it decisively abandoned the small portion of Nine-Tails chakra still remaining in Mito's body and the idea of ​​taking Mito hostage, and then completed its physicalization outside.

The next moment, the massive amount of Nine-Tails chakra that had leaked into the sky began to converge wildly and then materialize.

Suddenly, a giant fox creature with nine tails appeared. Its massive body crashed heavily into the Death Forest, destroying countless plants and trees beneath it and stirring up a fierce wind.

"Oh no, it's finally escaped."

The third generation, carrying the Vajra Ruyi Cudgel, quickly jumped out of the villa. After a few leaps, he landed on the canopy of a large tree outside. He looked at the huge nine-tailed fox not far away and said with an extremely ugly expression.

At the same time, on the Hokage Rock where the First Hokage once stood.

Madara Uchiha looked at the enormous figure of the Nine-Tails from afar and sneered, "Farewell, Mito. As for the Nine-Tails, you can leave it here in Konoha for the time being."

After saying that, without his command, Tobi, who was covering him, immediately used the Mayfly Technique to take Uchiha Madara underground and quickly disappear.

On the other side, after Kurama chose to sever its tail to survive, Kirito finally succeeded in suppressing the remaining Kurama chakra in Mito's body. The large black hole on Mito's stomach quickly disappeared, and the Four Symbols Seal and Eight Trigrams Seal techniques reappeared.

Upon seeing this, Nawaki, Tsunade, and Momoka rushed over to check on Mito's condition.

But then, a giant hand descended from the sky.

"Go to hell, Mito."

The Nine-Tailed Fox roared angrily.

Even now, the person it hates most is still Mito. Even though it knows that Mito will die soon even if it doesn't have to do anything, it still wants to kill Mito with its own hands to relieve the hatred it has felt for being imprisoned for decades.

"Stop, you beast!"

The Third Hokage, who was outside, had already noticed what Kurama was planning to do. He roared and immediately swung his now larger and longer Vajra Staff, striking Kurama hard on the neck.

Nine-Tails immediately let out a painful cry, and its massive body was knocked back a distance, interrupting its attack that aimed to kill Mito.

Meanwhile, a large number of Konoha ninjas on the ground unleashed various powerful ninjutsu attacks on the Nine-Tails, causing it to scream in pain and retreat step by step.

Furthermore, more than a dozen Jonin proficient in Earth Release ninjutsu joined forces to unleash Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld.

In an instant, a huge swamp appeared on the ground beneath the Nine-Tailed Fox, and its entire body began to sink into it.

Then, a dozen or so Jonin skilled in taijutsu hurled chains covered in sealing techniques at Kurama, binding its hands, feet, tail, and neck. They then channeled chakra into the chains to enhance their binding power.

With the help of a group of elite Konoha ninjas, the Third Hokage successfully suppressed the Nine-Tails in a short period of time.

"Lady Tsunade, please take Mito-sensei, Nawaki, and Kushina to a safe place. I'm going to help the Hokage."

Kirito, using the vision of the White Zetsu clone who had already returned using the Mayfly Technique, saw the situation outside, immediately shouted, and then quickly left the villa through the opened roof.

Orochimaru left the room without making a sound.

"Damn Konoha ninjas, you all deserve to die, I will kill you all."

After being repeatedly ganged up on, restrained, and even interfered with in killing Mito, the Nine-Tails' hatred immediately shifted to the Third Hokage and other Konoha ninjas.
