Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: Stress Test, Scrub!

Valley of the End.

Kurama (The Nine-Tails) was facing off against Hashirama and Madara.

"Me? Dangerous?"

Kurama pointed at himself with a claw that hadn't been trimmed in centuries. He actually looked a little cute doing it.

"Are you guys sick in the head? I was sleeping here peacefully, minding my own business, and you two jump me and start gang-beating me! Compared to me, you guys are the dangerous ones!"

Hashirama and Madara paused. Suddenly, they felt Kurama had a point.

"Madara... did we do something wrong?"

Madara sweated a little hearing his airhead friend's question.

"Hashirama... you really are a natural airhead..."

Seeing the two ignoring him, Kurama prepared to leave.

"Uhm... I won't disturb you! I'm leaving now, bye!"

Just as he turned his head, two fists—one from the left, one from the right—smashed directly into his face.

Bonk.

Kurama fell over stiff as a board. No joke, he looked exactly like Tom from Tom & Jerry after getting hit by a frying pan.

Mito, watching from afar, was dumbfounded.

"Is that thing... even lethal?"

The two men dragged the unconscious Kurama over to Mito.

They deactivated the Wood Golem and Susanoo. The three of them stared at each other in awkward silence.

Madara thought:

I thought I could dance to my heart's content... but that was it?

Hashirama thought:

I thought I could have a big fight with Madara... but that was it?

Mito thought:

I thought sealing it might kill me... but this is the thing I have to seal?

Kurama's Soul:

"Stop flaming me! You guys are all hacking! How am I supposed to fight? WDNMD!" (Note: F Your Mom .

The three looked at the Nine-Tails lying stiffly on the ground. Yes, stiffly. So straight it couldn't be straighter. They actually thought Kurama was dead...

Meanwhile, back at the Senju Compound.

Mizuna woke up with a start, sitting bolt upright in bed.

"Don't do that kind of thing! Yamete!"

Mizuna was covered in cold sweat. He looked around and realized he was in his room.

"Was it a dream?"

Mizuna wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He quickly got out of bed and searched the house for people.

"Brother-in-law! Sis! Mid! Big Bro Madara!"

He started to panic.

"No! It's real!"

Mizuna calmed himself down and activated his Kagura Mind's Eye to search for his sister.

"Valley of the End?"

Mizuna muttered.

But there was no time to think. He sprinted directly toward that direction.

Tobirama sensed Mizuna's Chakra and immediately used Flying Raijin to teleport out of the Hokage's office to intercept him.

---

Back at the Valley of the End.

Mito and the others were preparing to seal the Nine-Tails.

Hashirama held Mito's hand and asked worriedly:

"Will... will it be okay...?"

Mito turned back and smiled.

"No problem. Everything will be fine!"

Mito began the sealing process.

"Four Symbols Seal!"

With a shout, Mito released a powerful surge of Chakra, slowly sucking Kurama into her body.

To speed up the process, Mito also used the Adamantine Sealing Chains to wrap Kurama up like a Zongzi (Sticky Rice Dumpling).

As time passed, sweat appeared on Mito's forehead. Although it hurt a little, the pain wasn't the main issue. The main issue was that her stomach felt bloated, kind of like when she was pregnant.

Meanwhile, in the forest.

Mizuna was maneuvering rapidly through the trees.

"Damn legs! Move faster!"

He shouted while weaving through the giant trees.

Behind him, a flashing figure followed closely.

"Mizuna! Come back! It's dangerous over there!"

Tobirama knew exactly what was happening. His brother and that evil Uchiha Madara were capturing the Nine-Tails.

Mizuna looked back and saw Tobirama chasing him.

"Mid! Do not stop me!"

Hearing the nickname, Tobirama shouted angrily:

"I'm going to get mad, Mizuna! Flying Raijin!"

Mizuna laughed. My movement is unparalleled!

Tobirama suddenly appeared behind him.

"Playtime is over! Mizuna!"

Mizuna smirked and whispered:

"Pull and drag, see ya!" (Note: Gaming term for kiting/juking).

With mysterious footwork and a Body Flicker Jutsu, Mizuna appeared in another location, widening the gap.

Tobirama was confused.

"What was that?"

He used Flying Raijin to chase again.

Seeing Tobirama catch up, Mizuna shouted:

"I won't sub! I will kite!" .

Another Body Flicker took him to a sharp angle, continuing forward.

Tobirama thought: Wow? Trying to kite me?

He teleported again and grabbed Mizuna by the collar.

Suddenly, this "Mizuna" stopped moving and poofed into smoke. It was a Shadow Clone.

The real Mizuna shouted from ahead:

"Making you stressed, you explode like a gun! Making you very nervous!".

Tobirama shouted at the Mizuna ahead:

"Mizuna, stop moving forward!"

Mizuna thought Tobirama was trying to pressure him mentally, so he ignored him and continued mocking:

"Making you very nervous! Making your pressure act like a gun!"

Seeing Mizuna ignore him, Tobirama continued:

"There's a big pit in front of you, I'm not lying!"

Mizuna laughed, thinking the Mid couldn't catch him and was trying to trick him.

"Sorry~ I don't believe..."

Before he could finish, Mizuna fell into the pit.

Head first.

Instantly, Mizuna felt the world spin. Sky and earth reversed. Happy every day. (Author joking (??ε??)).

When he woke up again, Mizuna had been dragged out by Tobirama.

His hands were restrained. Tobirama held him like a baby chicken.

Mizuna looked at the big pit, and a nameless fire rose in his heart.

"I AM A BIG FAT PIG!!!" (Note: Streamer rage meme).

Tobirama was confused by Mizuna's outburst.

What am I going to do with this kid... Tobirama thought helplessly.

Suddenly, Mizuna shouted:

"Mid, look! A white-haired loli!"

Tobirama smirked contemptuously.

"Mizuna, do you take me for a three-year-old?"

Mizuna saw the trick failed and switched tactics.

"Wah! Mid! Look! Izuna Uchiha!"

Hearing that name, Tobirama immediately whipped his head around.

"Where? Mizuna! Where is he?"

Suddenly, Tobirama felt his grip loosen. He slowly turned his head back. His hand was empty.

He looked up to see Mizuna running in the distance, shouting and giving him the middle finger.

"Is the pressure that big? White-Haired Mid!"

Tobirama's face turned red instantly.

"U-ZU-MA-KI! MI-ZU-NA!"

He vanished with a Flying Raijin.

Valley of the End.

After a journey filled with "hardships and dangers," Mizuna finally arrived.

As soon as he arrived, he saw his sister, Mito Uzumaki, lying on the ground in the distance.

He froze.

"Sis!"

Hashirama and Madara turned around and saw Mizuna. They smiled helplessly, as if they knew he would come eventually.

But Mizuna didn't know the context. Seeing them smiling while his sister was on the ground, he exploded with rage.

He pulled the Thousand Demon Daggers from his inventory, ready for a fight to the death.

"You two old boomers! Pay with your lives!" (The arrogance of a Transmigrator).

Seeing Mizuna attack, Madara reacted.

He summoned a skeletal Susanoo arm and grabbed Mizuna effortlessly, holding him like an action figure.

Two Dollars! Two Dollars! (Note: Sound effect of knife fragments / Break apart).

Mizuna controlled the blade with Chakra. The Thousand Demon Daggers shattered into a thousand shards, formed a ring around the Susanoo arm, and constricted violently.

Snap.

The skeletal arm of the Susanoo snapped off.

Madara was shocked.

"It can break a Susanoo skeletal arm in one hit... That sword really is unexpected~"

Mizuna charged at them again.

Seeing Mizuna had lost his cool, Hashirama acted directly.

"Sage Art: Gate of the Great God!"

Several red Torii gates fell from the sky, pinning Mizuna to the ground.

Mizuna instantly deflated like a popped balloon. He couldn't muster any strength.

Seeing Mizuna was still hysterical, Hashirama used:

"Hokage-Style Sixty-Year-Old Technique - Kakuan Entering Society with Bliss-Bringing Hands!" (Note: The Jutsu used to suppress Tailed Beasts).

The kanji for "Sit" appeared on Hashirama's palm. He pressed it against Mizuna's forehead, and Mizuna calmed down instantly.

Mizuna felt his mind become unusually clear and quiet.

At this moment, Mito woke up. Seeing her brother pinned down, she called out weakly:

"Mizuna..."

Seeing Mito awake and calling for Mizuna, Hashirama and Madara immediately released him, letting him run to her.

"Sis!"

Mizuna hugged Mito and asked frantically:

"Sis! Is the evil Nine-Tails eroding you with its evil Chakra? Don't worry Sis, I..."

Before Mizuna could finish, a small orange fox head popped out from beside Mito.

"Why don't you listen to what you're saying? Why don't you ask your sister what she did to me inside the sealing space? Why don't you ask them what they did to me?"

Mizuna was stunned by the triple interrogation. Before he could respond, the little fox spoke again:

"Is there no justice? Is there no fing LAW?!" (Note: Movie quote Let the Bullets Fly).

The little fox demanded.

Yes, this was the newly sealed Kurama...

Everyone: "......"
