I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

Yamanaka Ryo clearly shared Danzo's attitude, treating Kushina merely as a weapon.

As long as the weapons are not damaged, they can be disposed of however you like.

If it weren't for the Nine-Tails' protection, Kushina's situation would definitely be even worse.

That's right, it's the protection of the Nine-Tails.

"Even self-awareness has been erased; how pathetic are humans."

Within the sealed space, the Nine-Tails, bound by chains, sensed Kushina's plight and, amidst a cold laugh, felt a strange sorrow.

The old man seriously underestimated the malice of humankind.

When humans turn evil, it's truly appalling.

Like Kushina.

It originally harbored deep hatred for Kushina, who had sealed it away.

But now, it actually felt a little sorry for the other party.

Driven by human malice, the other party has been reduced to a heartless killing tool.

If it weren't for its protection, this human woman would have suffered even more inhumane torment.

To make it easier for everyone to view, the daily updates will no longer be split into multiple parts; they will all be uploaded at once, scheduled for midnight.

Chapter 227 Life will always find its own way

"Humans, just how deep is your malice?" Nine-Tails murmured softly, feeling somewhat lost.

Although humans have always viewed the tailed beasts as embodiments of disaster and evil beings.

But the Nine-Tailed Fox knew very well that they initially wanted to coexist peacefully with humans.

Unfortunately, great power can not only bring deterrence, but also attract greed.

As things have evolved, these tailed beasts have truly become the embodiment of disaster.

Like it, if it could break free from the seal, it would definitely go on a rampage and take revenge on Konoha and all of humanity.

"kindness?"

Just as the Nine-Tailed Fox was feeling confused, it was suddenly drawn to the external situation it sensed, and its eyes showed surprise and doubt.

Its surprise was only momentary. The next second, its gaze suddenly became unfocused, and its pupils transformed into a pair of Sharingan with three tomoe.

outside world.

As the dazed Kushina ate the soldier's ration pill, suddenly, a figure flashed to her side.

boom! ! !

A terrifying gravity swept across the area, reducing everything, from houses to members of the Yamanaka organization guarding them inside and outside, to dust.

He glanced at her.

Kushina, who was evaded by gravity, stood frozen in place, allowing Naraku, who suddenly appeared, to reach out and grab her shoulder, instantly taking her away with a "space jump".

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

"Oh no! Something's happened to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

"."

The bombing-like commotion prompted the others in the Konoha camp to rush over to investigate.

All they saw was a huge crater.

This scene shocked some people, while others' expressions changed drastically.

"Kushina"

Among the crowd, Minato Namikaze, who was disguised, also had a drastic change in expression.

Upon receiving Tsunade's message, he hurriedly left Mount Myōboku and rushed to the battlefield to rescue Kushina.

But despite his hard work infiltrating the camp, he couldn't even see Kushina, let alone rescue her.

Star City.

Inside the mansion.

"Besides the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan, there are many other mental techniques. Danzo is indeed ruthless. With so many kinds of mental attacks, Kushina is lucky that her self-awareness has only been destroyed."

Inside the sealed chamber, Naraku, who had just removed all the cursed seals from Kushina's body, was examining her condition with his right hand on her head.

As he continued his investigation, he couldn't help but sigh.

Kushina's condition was worse than he had anticipated.

In order to train Kushina into a tailed beast weapon, Danzo not only set up a variety of powerful cursed seals, but also brutally destroyed Kushina's self-awareness.

Despite Kushina's seemingly unharmed appearance, Naraku's investigation revealed that her mental state was riddled with holes and she had suffered severe psychological trauma.

That's the situation.

I'm afraid that before Kushina dies from being corrupted by the Nine-Tails' chakra, she will be the first to suffer a mental breakdown and die.

Naraku was even more grateful that he had acted in time.

He realized that he had overestimated Danzo's abilities.

If he hadn't intervened in time, Kushina would have almost been killed by Danzo.

If Kushina were to suddenly die, who knows when the Nine-Tails would be reborn, or where it would be reborn to.

Of course, his actions in capturing Kushina were also to prevent Konoha from having a chance to turn the tide.

The Nine-Tails is indeed powerful.

Especially when someone like Danzo doesn't care about the life or death of a Jinchūriki.

If Kushina continues to perform well, Konoha might actually turn the tide of the battle.

Naraku, of course, would not allow this.

What he wants is stability.

The stable situation he desired was one where Konoha was bogged down by the four battlefields, gradually losing strength.

"what?"

Suddenly, Naraku, who was delving deeper into Kushina's mental state, raised an eyebrow and showed a look of surprise.

"Is this the beginning of a new self-awareness?"

His divine sense discovered a very faint sense of self deep within Kushina's mind.

This sense of self is like that of a newborn, weak yet tenacious.

Life always finds a way.

This surprising discovery made the thought flash through Naraku's mind.

Perhaps it's a special talent of the Uzumaki clan.

It could truly be a miracle of life.

Their self-awareness had been destroyed, and their mental state had been severely damaged.

But Kushina withstood the torment of fate, silently undergoing a rebirth and forging a new self-awareness.

Naraku remained silent.

This woman is quite formidable.

Naraku hesitated, which was rare for him.

There were two choices before him now.

One option is to erase Kushina's newly formed self-awareness, leaving her to continue as a tailed beast weapon devoid of emotion.

Another one is...

"A miracle? You really have given me a shock. Fine, then I'll give you this chance for a new life." Naraku sighed.

He's just that kind of person.

It's definitely not because a newborn consciousness is like a blank sheet of paper, and that someone can guide Kushina's mind and body to become like their own before they would show her kindness.

The saying "losing both wife and army" perfectly describes Konoha.

No one expected that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, who had just made a stunning appearance on the battlefield in Kumogakure, would suddenly disappear.

The loss of Kushina not only deprived Danzo of his strongest trump card, but also deprived Konoha of the Nine-Tails, a weapon of war.

Such a development would be extremely exciting for all parties, not just Konoha.

The greater the losses suffered by Konoha, the weaker Konoha becomes.

The disappearance of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki undoubtedly dealt another heavy blow to Konoha.

This gave all sides besieging Konoha a greater hope of victory.
