Recently, having guests at ho made Kushina Uzumaki realize sothing—the small apartnt Naruto currently lived in really wasn't suitable as a long-term "ho."
Previously, there had only been her and Naruto, plus Satsuki occasionally coming for als—the space barely sufficed. But recently? First Kakashi, then those two mysterious "performing" travelers.
The living room could hardly turn around. If more guests ca, would they all have to sleep on the floor from now on?
This wasn't the "ho" she ideally wanted to create for Naruto.
So today, Kushina decided to make a trip to the Hokage building, asking about the ownership situation of that house she and Minato used to have.
She never imagined this ordinary plan would have her directly crash into an assault targeting the Hokage.
Though the Third Hokage's weakened state was Kushina's doing, she wouldn't apologize for it.
More accurately, forget apologizing—she wouldn't feel even a trace of guilt.
However, this didn't an she could stand by watching this assault unfold!
Whoosh!
Kushina's figure had already vanished from the doorway. Her fist instantly enlarged before Urashiki's eyes, closing in!
Urashiki's face showed so surprise. He couldn't completely evade in ti—or rather, based on habitual recognition of human speed, he judged this punch already impossible to dodge through conventional movent.
Thus, Urashiki's blue Rinnegan ability activated. Ti was rewound for an extrely brief instant.
To outsiders, Urashiki made an inconceivable, nearly teleportation-like minute sidestep, dangerously letting that violent fist roar past his cheek!
Such fast reaction!
Kushina's heart chilled. She slightly withdrew her offensive, landing back on the ground. She hadn't detected ti being rewound—only attributed it to the opponent possessing shocking instantaneous reaction speed or so Body Flicker Technique.
"Oh my? Interrupted by an unexpected person again." Urashiki examined Kushina, especially that vivid fla-red hair. "An unfamiliar new face... The chakra feeling is also quite special. Since you've delivered yourself here, let 'collect' so more—just right to replenish my earlier 'expenditure.'"
"Kushina! Watch out for his weapon!" The Third Hokage forced himself through weakness, using all his strength to shout. "Don't let that fishhook touch you! It directly pierces the body, seizing all your chakra!"
Almost the sa instant the Third's voice rang out, Urashiki moved. That dark fishing rod traced an arc, shooting straight at Kushina!
BOOM—!
Kushina imdiately leaped backward sharply.
The fishhook failed hitting its target, viciously smashing into the ward wall behind where she'd originally stood. The hard stone wall instantly cracked and caved in. Large amounts of rubble and dust rumbled up, filling half the ward!
The smoke hadn't yet dispersed—Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several brilliant dazzling golden lights suddenly pierced through the smoke screen!
Adamantine Sealing Chains extended from behind Kushina. They danced wildly, sealing off all Urashiki's possible evasion space from every angle, wrapping and piercing toward him at shocking speed!
The ward wasn't spacious to begin with. Before these suddenly launched Adamantine Sealing Chains, the space was nearly instantly filled. Blue light flashed in Urashiki's eyes—seemingly wanting to use that strange movent again, but the chains ca too fast, too densely, blocking all directions up, down, left, right—
CLANG!
The next mont, several Adamantine chains wrapped solidly around Urashiki, binding him from head to toe completely!
"Got you!" Kushina maintained the chains' output, gaze sharp. "Speak! Who are you! What's your purpose coming to Konoha!"
However, the chain-bound Urashiki seed completely unconcerned about his predicant. He carefully "examined" Kushina. After a mont, he spoke thoughtfully:
"Your chakra aura... feels very familiar. What's your relationship with Uzumaki Naruto?"
"Naruto!?"
The instant this na escaped the enemy's mouth, Kushina's originally rely sharp gaze was instantly covered by killing intent. "You... why do you know this na? Why ntion him?!"
Urashiki seed quite satisfied with his words' effect. Though the chains made breathing sowhat difficult, his voice still carried that condescending mockery:
"Why? Because he's precisely my objective coming to this era. My purpose is simple—to seize the Nine-Tails chakra within 'Uzumaki Naruto's'..."
Before "body" could escape!
BOOM—!!!
No need to hear another word of nonsense. When the words "objective," "seize," and "Nine-Tails chakra" connected, the last trace of interrogation intent in Kushina's heart had been thoroughly crushed.
Maternal instinct made the blood throughout her body nearly flow backward. Replacing it was all-consuming killing intent! Regarding Naruto's safety, any potential threat must be imdiately, thoroughly eliminated!
The Adamantine Sealing Chains' golden chains suddenly erupted with even more intense brilliance. The chains abruptly retracted, violently yanking Urashiki like a broken toy toward Kushina's direction!
The distance rapidly closed. Kushina's tightly clenched fist aid straight at Urashiki's head—she would pulverize this threat to pieces right here!
Urashiki was yanked toward the fist yet still showed no panic on his face. In his understanding, this kind of physical restraint—as long as he used his will to transform his body into red chakra paper cranes, he could easily escape and even launch counterattacks...
However—
Just as his mind turned, attempting to mobilize chakra within his body, his expression changed!
No response! The chakra within couldn't be mobilized even a trace! As though so imnsely heavy power had completely suppressed his chakra source, sealed it!
These golden chains are behind this?!
Urashiki instantly understood. These unassuming chains weren't simple binding ninjutsu—they actually possessed the terrifying ability to directly suppress, even seal opponents' chakra! This completely disrupted his escape plan!
WHAM!!!!!!!
The next second, without any fancy moves, the fist condensing all Kushina's fury and strength solidly, completely struck Urashiki's face!
That was trendous force sufficient to pulverize most hard substances! Terrifying shockwaves exploded with the fist's landing point as center. The air emitted overburdened explosive sounds!
Urashiki's head twisted backward at an exaggerated angle, viciously slamming into the cracked ward wall behind!
CRASH—!!!
The entire wall violently trembled, emitting near-collapse groans. Massive spiderweb cracks instantly spread. Rubble rustled down. The wall's center was even struck into a clear human-shaped indentation!
One could see Kushina's strike was truly without rcy, full strength—only one purpose: kill the opponent!
Crack.
A crisp snapping sound rang out. Atop Urashiki's head, that sole remaining gray square horn—seemingly so organ or decoration—finally completely broke under this heavy strike, dropping to the ground, rolling several tis before stopping motionless.
Urashiki's body softly embedded in the wall's indentation, head drooping, life or death unknown. Even though he looked like a dilapidated puppet, Kushina still didn't relax vigilance. Adamantine Sealing Chains still tightly bound him without slightest loosening.
Regarding Naruto, Kushina couldn't gamble on any chance. Even if she had to repeatedly bombard this guy's corpse until thoroughly transford into blood mist, she'd do so without hesitation.
She manipulated the chains, "lifting" Urashiki's limp body from the wall, suspending him midair, while she carefully approached, wanting to confirm whether this terrible threat had truly ceased living.
However, just as she concentrated on investigating the next mont—
SCREECH—!!!
A sharp piercing cry suddenly erupted from the red fish basket behind Urashiki!
Imdiately after, brilliant blue Lightning Style chakra poured from the basket's mouth like burst floodwaters! Chakra flow full of intense interference and chaotic properties! They madly impacted, entangling the Adamantine Sealing Chains tightly binding Urashiki!
Golden chains and blue lightning violently collided. Those stable flowing sealing powers on the chains—under this sudden high-intensity Lightning Style chakra interference—flickered intensely bright and dim.
This very instant!
Whoosh!
The blue Rinnegan in Urashiki's eyes could activate again! Ti rewind ability used in a "past" instant to make the "present" best escape choice!
From Kushina's perspective, Urashiki's originally limp body suddenly transford into countless crimson chakra paper cranes, dispersing from the chains' binding gaps!
The next instant, all paper cranes condensed on the ward's other side. Urashiki's sowhat disheveled figure reappeared. He didn't pause even slightly. Blue light hadn't extinguished in his eyes as he backhanded the fishing rod casting it again!
Precisely shooting toward Kushina's back, which showed a montary gap due to chain interference!
Squelch.
This ti, the fishhook successfully hit. It pierced Kushina's back.
"re lower life form from a lower planet..."
Urashiki gasped, face carrying humiliation and fury from being struck by fists, that originally cynical tone replaced by ferocity.
"Bastard! You dare strike a god with your fist! I'll definitely butcher you..."
He awaited the mont the fishhook devoured her chakra, making her collapse limply. Based on experience, once struck by this fishhook, no matter how strong the ninja, they'd instantly lose the vast majority of chakra and mobility.
However—
Before his harsh words finished, sothing unexpected occurred.
The envisioned scene of Kushina's chakra being drained, weakly collapsing, didn't appear.
Kushina reached back—not attempting to remove the fishhook but grabbing the fishing line connecting it! Imdiately after:
WHOOSH—!!!
Trendous force transmitted along the fishing line! Urashiki's entire person was violently yanked over beyond control by this domineering power!
Vision spun. What he barely saw was the fist once again rapidly enlarging before his eyes—
