Chapter 288: Finding the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki as the big brother! Completely rampage!
"Kurama! You bastard, if you don't help me now... I'll go with them to the Hidden Cloud Village."
"Once we get to the Hidden Cloud Village, I'll acknowledge the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki as my big brother..."
"I want to see how a certain bastard, who brags about being the strongest Tailed Beast, will ever be able to hold his head high when facing other Tailed Beasts in the future!"
After a long, bumpy journey, Kushina regained consciousness from her coma.
Watching Minato Namikaze being slowly cornered by Ninomiya, Kushina, after countless failed attempts to persuade Kurama, suddenly calmed down.
She quickly adjusted her strategy, constantly stimulating Kurama's arrogant, proud, yet fragile nerves.
"Kushina, you..."
Looking down at Kushina's tiny figure, Kurama's eyes filled with a violent intent.
However, upon seeing the dense array of Sealing Techniques ahead, its surging aura instantly deflated.
It had to be said, Kushina had truly found its weak spot.
If the Jinchuriki it resided in became the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki's little brother... no, little sister!
Then, this matter would become an indelible humiliation for it in the future.
Forget about that smug Eight-Tails; even Ichibi, upon learning of it, would probably bounce in front of it to mock it a few times.
"Alright, Kushina, I agree to your request. I will temporarily lend you a portion of my power..."
"However, the power of a Tailed Beast is not so easily accepted... even if you possess the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan."
"Feel the immense power... and terror of this strength!"
The moment Kurama's voice fell, Kushina was expelled from the consciousness space by Kurama.
Immediately after... to the horrified gazes of several Cloud Jonin, the Amegakure Jutsu applied to Kushina was broken through, one by one, by Kurama's rampaging Chakra.
"This... this is, Tailed Beast Transformation?"
"Didn't the intel say that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki couldn't achieve this level yet?"
Having witnessed the Eight-Tails' rampage, the Cloud Ninja had a thorough understanding of the Tailed Beasts' power.
It was precisely because they understood that they were even more terrified.
Once this wild, terrifying, invincible power was fully unleashed, unless one possessed the formidable strength of someone like the Third Raikage,
Otherwise... no matter who!
Whether you were a Jonin, an Elite Jonin, or a Quasi-Kage, death was the only path.
"No! The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's Tailed Beast Transformation is different from Burabi's Tailed Beast Transformation. It only has the strength of four tails... is it a Partial Tailed Beast Transformation?"
"Partial Tailed Beast Transformation?"
"That's right, Partial Tailed Beast Transformation. I've heard some seniors in the Village mention it. The previous two Eight-Tails Jinchuriki experienced this during their integration with the Eight-Tails."
"In this state, the Tailed Beast's consciousness will suppress... or even dominate the Jinchuriki's consciousness!"
"Sakura! Are you saying... we are now facing the true Nine-Tailed, not the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"
Licking their cracked lips, feeling the terrifying Chakra... some Cloud Jonin had already begun to consider retreating.
"Bastard! How dare you hurt Minato... I'm going to kill you."
As Kurama had warned, the current Kushina was completely unable to control Kurama's Chakra, which was filled with negative emotions.
With a flash of red light, Kushina appeared before Ninomiya.
With a casual wave, she directly sent Ninomiya, a Jonin, flying over a hundred meters, slamming him hard into the rock wall on the east side.
"Is this the power of a Tailed Beast?"
Looking at Ninomiya's miserable state, the six of Sakura instinctively adopted a defensive stance.
In their eyes, even if Ninomiya wasn't dead, he was crippled... perhaps even his Ninja career was over.
Even with emergency treatment now... the possibility of saving him was not high.
"Kushina... are you alright?"
Looking at the four tails swaying behind Kushina, Minato Namikaze's expression did not improve because he was saved; instead, it became even more solemn.
Presumably, he had learned some information about Tailed Beasts and Jinchuriki from Jiraiya.
"Minato! I'm fine. Once I deal with them, we'll go back to Konoha."
Although Kushina still maintained her inherent rationality, under the constant Impact of negative emotions, slaughter and violence had begun to erode Kushina's remaining sanity.
If this state continued, a complete rampage... might just be a matter of time!
"Damn it! Disperse and distract, don't stay together."
"Those adults are already on their way to provide backup. No matter what, we must hold out until they arrive."
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"
"Lava Release: Rubber Wall!"
An Earth Flow Wall enhanced with Lava Release, under normal circumstances, would certainly be able to withstand the impact of most Ninjutsu!
But now, things were different.
Because Sakura and the others were facing a Jinchuriki on the verge of going berserk.
The Tailed Beast Bomb condensed by Kushina took only a few seconds to pierce through the defense constructed by Sakura and the others.
The wildly spreading flames stirred up wave after wave of violent air currents, forcing Sakura to continuously retreat.
"Lightning Release Genjutsu: Lightning Illusion Flash Pillar!"
"Tani Hayabusa, act! Use the Lightning Restraint Technique!"
"Damn it, you hateful guys! Who are you looking down on?"
While shielding her eyes from the strong light with both hands, the four tails behind Kushina swayed, transforming into four giant tentacles that indiscriminately lashed out forward.
Although it didn't cause substantial harm to the six of Sakura, it did interrupt Tani Hayabusa and the others' attempt to deploy a barrier.
"Shun, follow me for close-range distraction. The others use long-range Ninjutsu for support and look for an opportunity to cast the Lightning Restraint Technique again!"
"Kushina..."
Looking at Kushina, who was gradually being restrained by Sakura and the others, Minato Namikaze let out a low growl, gritting his teeth and pushing his almost depleted Chakra, rushing towards Tani Hayabusa, who intended to cast the Lightning Restraint Technique.
"Kushina... snap out of it. Several strong Chakras are rapidly approaching a few miles to the north."
"Those people are probably the so-called reinforcements mentioned by these Cloud Ninja."
"Although very faint... I can sense the presence of the Eight-Tails from those Chakras."
"If there are no surprises, that should be the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of the Hidden Cloud Village."
"In our current state, facing an already developed Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, there's no chance of victory."
Due to Kushina's will being in disarray,
Kurama's warning did not bring Kushina back to her senses.
And in order to avoid being hammered by the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Kurama once again increased its Chakra output.
As blood-red steam bubbles continuously surged behind Kushina, Kushina's human form was completely engulfed by the endless Tailed Beast Chakra, and her original four tails increased to six at this moment.
"Damn it! Disperse, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is going berserk!"
In a roar, Sakura instantly appeared beside Tani Hayabusa, and while kicking Minato towards the rampaging Kushina, she pulled Tani Hayabusa and quickly retreated backward.
