Chapter 36 » Let Me Introduce Myself. My Name Is Yusuke Kamizuki!
In the dense jungle, the Ino-Shika-Cho squad had already spotted Kushina, who was about to cross the border.
"Kushina! For the village! You can't go any further!" Inoichi Yamanaka shouted urgently.
Finally, at the edge of the border, Kushina was intercepted. Her eyes blazed with anger — she was beyond persuasion now.
"For the village? Are we just going to let Minato suffer in Kirigakure?!"
Faced with her furious questioning, Inoichi was at a loss for words. He could only look towards the strategist beside him.
"Kushina, you are of great importance to Konohagakure. If you leave the village — if you fall into someone else's hands — the consequences would be unimaginable! It could be catastrophic for Konoha!" Shikaku Nara, ever the sharpest mind among them, immediately tied Kushina's fate to that of the entire village.
"What about Minato?!" Kushina wasn't buying any of it. Her eyes, still filled with anger and a red tinge, flashed dangerously, "When Minato was captured, the Third promised he'd do everything to rescue him. But what's the result? So much time has passed — has he done anything? Nothing at all! Now, if I don't act... Minato, he —"
Thinking of the terrible consequences, Kushina became even more determined to reach Kirigakure. She had made up her mind.
Yusuke probably didn't know she was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. He likely saw her only as Minato's lover. After all, her status as a Jinchuriki was highly classified in Konoha. This was her confidence in going to Kirigakure alone!
Even tigers have moments when they doze off, right? That would be her chance to rescue Minato!
Moreover, she relied on being the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. The Nine-Tails wouldn't let her life be in danger. If she died, the Nine-Tails would also perish, though it could reform years later. But the Nine-Tails would rather be sealed than perish and wait to reform.
And all of this was Kushina's confidence.
Shikaku shook his head. He knew that no matter what method he used now, it would be impossible to persuade her to return.
"Choza, Inoichi. Get ready!"
The two quickly began to prepare their formation.
These three were sent because their coordination was extremely well-practiced, and the battle plan had already been established.
Shikaku planned to use the Shadow Possession Technique to immobilize Kushina. Then Inoichi would employ the Mind Transfer Technique to control her mentally. Although this control would only last for a few minutes, it would be enough for their purposes. Choza would then lead the remaining sealing team to forcibly contain her.
If they could hold out until they brought her back to Konoha, Hiruzen would be able to ensure she remained under control. This was their only remaining option.
Kushina, aware of their impending move, began secretly gathering chakra within her body.
"Well, well."
Suddenly, in the tense atmosphere, a clear voice rang out, followed immediately by an incredibly thick mist!
"This is... the Hidden Mist Jutsu!" Shikaku's expression changed as he immediately realized something was amiss.
They'd been discovered by Kiri!
"This is bad!" Inoichi's brows furrowed deeply. 'Please don't let it be that guy! Please don't let it be the Ice God!' He prayed silently.
If it was just Kiri ninja patrolling the Land of Water border, they might be able to handle it. But if it was that Ice God, whether they could even make it back alive would be questionable.
As the mist slowly dissipated—
Swoosh—
Hundreds of Kiri elite ANBU members suddenly surrounded the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and their team!
At the forefront stood Yusuke, with Mangetsu and Juzo behind him.
The moment he appeared, Shikaku and the others' faces changed drastically!
It's over! Yusuke Kamizuki is personally leading the team!
"Yusuke... Kamizuki!!! It's you!!!"
A voice filled with extreme anger rang out!
Almost all Konoha ninja had seen Yusuke's portrait, and Kushina was no exception.
She clenched her fists and, in an instant, reached his front. Her fist struck mercilessly towards his face!
However, Yusuke casually raised his hand and grasped Kushina's wrist, the power of lightning suddenly erupting!
"Ahhh—!!!"
A painful, numbing sensation of electric shock coursed through her entire body! She instantly went limp in front of Yusuke, who maintained his tight grip on her wrist.
"Nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself. My name is Yusuke Kamizuki." He politely looked at Kushina, who had collapsed on the ground.
"You demon! You—Ah!!!" She shouted angrily, but before she could finish, intense electric current once again surged through her entire body!
Instantly, a numb and painful sensation flooded her brain.
And Kushina's spirit began to waver.
