All Heavens: Transcending Dimensions Starting with the Uchiha

As soon as he finished speaking, Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan within Susanoo began to spin rapidly, activating his dojutsu—Kotoamatsukami.

While Uchiha Shisui did not possess the forbidden technique to control the Nine-Tails, his Kotoamatsukami was a genjutsu that controlled willpower.

The invisible chakra mixed with Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan power surged directly towards Kurama.

Instantly, Kurama felt its consciousness being affected.

This froze its movements, and the entire fox was completely bound in place by Shisui's Susanoo.

It sensed a powerful consciousness invading its mind.

This painful feeling is even more terrifying than when it was released by Obito before.

The earth itself trembled violently as it struggled.

Blood tears streamed from Uchiha Shisui's eyes, and his green Susanoo unleashed even more powerful chakra, firmly holding down the struggling Nine-Tails.

Chapter 150, The Inertia of History

Deep in the forest, far from the center of the Uchiha rebellion, another battle concerning the survival of Konoha has reached a critical juncture.

Guided by the Flying Thunder God kunai, Minato Namikaze appeared as if by teleportation at the edge of a wrecked open space.

He understood the entire plan and the heavy price behind it almost the instant Shisui transmitted the information through the Kaleidoscope—Shisui would gamble his life to buy him the crucial time to seal the Nine-Tails.

The scene before him caused the usually composed "Yellow Flash" to feel a sudden, sharp pain in his heart, almost suffocating him.

Kushina Uzumaki leaned weakly against the stump of a large tree that had been snapped in half by the shockwave. Her life force was like a candle flickering in the wind. The fatal wound from being forcibly stripped of her tailed beast had left her face as pale as paper, and blood kept spilling from the corner of her mouth.

The once vibrant red hair was now dull and lifeless, and the chakra aura that symbolized the powerful life force of the Uzumaki clan was extremely weak, as if it would be extinguished at any moment.

She clung to her last shred of consciousness, using all her strength to protect the still-crying, newly born blond baby in her arms—their son, Naruto Uzumaki.

"Kushina!"

Shuimen's voice trembled with unprecedented panic as he instantly knelt beside her. He reached out his hands, but dared not touch her forcefully, for fear of aggravating his wife's pain.

He could clearly feel that the last bit of chakra that sustained her life was rapidly draining away.

Kushina struggled to lift her heavy eyelids and saw Minato's familiar figure. A faint light flashed in her eyes, a complex emotion mixed with relief and endless sorrow.

Her voice was weak and feeble, each breath aggravating her fatal wound.

“The village… Nine-Tails… Shisui…”

She was eager to know what was going on, but she couldn't even finish a complete sentence.

"I know! I know everything!"

Minato held her cold hand tightly, trying to convey a sliver of warmth, his voice filled with suppressed grief.

"Shisui is buying us time... He... is using his life to hold back Kurama."

He quickly glanced at the terrifying clash of chakra in the distance, which could be felt even deep in the forest—the green Susanoo giant was suppressing the raging Nine-Tails.

Each impact caused the earth to tremble, and Shisui's burning life force appeared so tragic and resolute amidst the Nine-Tails' rage.

time!

What they lack most is time!

Shisui was using his Mangekyou Sharingan to forcefully control the Nine-Tails with "Kotoamatsukami," but the energy expenditure was devastating, and he couldn't hold on for long.

Kushina's life, too, slipped away as quickly as sand through her fingers.

Kushina's gaze fell on Minato's face, then slowly moved to the ninja tool pouch at his waist, where the scroll of the Uzumaki clan's most forbidden ultimate sealing technique was kept.

Her eyes instantly became incredibly clear, carrying a resolute quality befitting a mother and wife.

"Watergate..."

She spoke with difficulty, yet with exceptional clarity, each word seeming to have been uttered with the last of her strength.

"Use that... sealing technique..."

Minato shuddered violently, his pupils contracted sharply, and immense pain and struggle tore his heart apart in an instant:

"But...Kushina...that means..."

He couldn't say it—it meant they would never be able to stay by Naruto's side and watch him grow up.

This means that his beloved wife will pay the price with her life!

He had just become a father and was just beginning to feel the happiness of having blood relatives, but he had to end it all with his own hands!

"There's no time left!!"

Kushina suddenly unleashed a burst of power, raising her voice abruptly. Her voice was hoarse but filled with undeniable determination.

She coughed violently, blood staining her clothes at the chest, but her gaze was fixed on Shuimen, filled with pleading and command.

"For Naruto...for Konoha! This is...the only way!!"

Her gaze passed over the water gate and looked towards the distant direction of Konoha Village, where flames soared into the sky and the sounds of battle could be faintly heard.

She did it not only for her own child, but also for the countless lives struggling amidst the Nine-Tails and the rebellion, and for the homeland she and Minato protected together.

Naruto's loud cries in his arms were like a final urging. The sound was like a sharp knife, piercing through Minato's last hesitation.

He looked at the burning light in his wife's eyes, a light that seemed to burn with the very essence of life itself, and at the resolve on her pale face to sacrifice everything for what she was protecting. Overwhelmed by immense grief, he was overwhelmed by it like a tsunami.

He took a deep breath, a breath so heavy it felt as if he had inhaled the entire world's lead.

The pain, struggle, and reluctance in his eyes were ultimately replaced by a resolute determination that transcended everything and belonged to the Hokage.

He understood; he had no other choice. This was not only a choice made by a husband and father, but also a responsibility that the Fourth Hokage had to bear.

"I understand……"

Minato's voice was low and hoarse, carrying a calm that seemed to have settled down, yet containing the deepest sorrow.

He carefully and tenderly supported the weak Kushina in his arms to make her more comfortable, and then gently took their crying son, Naruto Uzumaki.

The tiny life seemed so fragile in his arms, yet it carried the hopes for Konoha's future.

He held Naruto steadily with one arm, while his other hand quickly and precisely began forming hand seals.

Each hand seal embodies his lifelong control over chakra, and each movement carries the weight of parting from his beloved.

Golden chakra light began to emerge around him, and a powerful sealing technique was about to be unleashed. The price, however, would be the souls and lives of the couple.

……

On the other side, the battlefield between Uchiha Sō and Obito.

Without further ado, Little Elephant activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and the Kusanagi Sword, crackling with lightning, slashed towards Obito's neck.

Faced with this sword strike that was almost at its fastest speed, Obito remained unusually calm, or perhaps he had been mentally prepared for it all along.

He had already entered a state of ethereal transformation before the sword struck him.

After dodging the sword strike, Obito wielded his chains and began his counterattack.

Obito's taijutsu might be considered pretty good by others.

However, in Uchiha Sō's eyes, it was full of flaws.

If Kamui hadn't repeatedly saved him from harm, he would have had his head chopped off by Uchiha Ezara long ago.

After fighting for a few minutes, Obito deliberately separated himself from the Uchiha clan.

Damn, Uchiha Sō's taijutsu is ridiculously strong.

He was simply the best physical fighter he had ever encountered in all these years.

Is it normal for an Uchiha to possess such strong taijutsu?

That's downright "heretical".

He knew that Uchiha Sō wasn't really fighting seriously, although he wasn't either, but fighting like this...

It's so damn frustrating!

"Hmph, if I can't beat you in taijutsu, then let's compete in ninjutsu. I refuse to believe that with so many White Zetsu limbs transplanted into me, my chakra reserves are still inferior to yours!"

Chapter 151, The New Yin-Yang Susanoo

Fire Release: Storm Dance!

Obito quickly formed hand seals, and a powerful surge of chakra flowed around him.

This technique can be considered a Fire Release secret technique developed by Obito Uchiha himself.

He combines the Mangekyou Sharingan with Fire Release ninjutsu, unleashing it using his Kamui.

It continuously creates a vortex-like, space-distorting, and intense whirlwind of fire.

Having learned from his many failures, Obito has made significant progress.

At least, Uchiha Eiji looked serious when he saw this ninjutsu created by Obito.

He activated the Instantaneous Movement Technique to retreat quickly, while simultaneously performing six hand seals in one second.

Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!

A fire dragon filled with violent chakra burst out of Uchiha Elephant's mouth.

They charged straight into the ever-spinning vortex of flames.

"Rumble..."

A huge explosion and intense flames engulfed the entire forest, and the commotion attracted the attention of countless people.

The battle between Uchiha Sō and Obito.

Unlike the previous relationship between Obito and Minato, where calmness concealed extreme killing intent.

Uchiha Enoki and Obito were at a different extreme at this moment, a magnificent clash of ninjutsu.

It was his previous encounter with Minato Namikaze that gave Obito a new perspective on the application of Kamui.

He was learning from the "teacher's" "instruction".

While unleashing dazzling fire-style attacks, he searched for Uchiha Zō's weakness.
