　The Nine-Tails' chakra possesses independent consciousness. For example, by collecting the Nine-Tails' chakra, it is possible to create another Nine-Tails. This is the wondrous use of Yin and Yang power, which can continuously create and multiply.

　At this point, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) was actually powerless to stop Kushina's rampage.

　"Human, now that things have come to this, you should understand what it means for a Jinchuriki to go berserk!"

　"Most of the time, when Jinchuriki go berserk, it's not actually controlled by the Tailed Beasts, but by the Jinchuriki themselves!"

　Nine-Tails slowly said

　"you mean"

　Ye Chen seemed to be deep in thought.

　"If a Jinchuriki falls into darkness and is controlled by negative emotions, then he will be devoured by the powerful force and turn into a monster who only knows how to kill."

　Why do Jinchuriki fall into darkness? The Jinchuriki were created for war and the slaughter of humans, yet we hate and fear them! We isolate them, abandoning them to the edge of the world, forgetting them and letting them rot. Ultimately, this is all your own fault, what does it have to do with us Tailed Beasts?

　"Power itself is neither good nor evil; it is you humans who have corrupted it! Just like this girl, beneath her bright and sunny exterior, who knows how much darkness lies hidden within her shell!"

　Nine-Tailed Fox spoke one sentence at a time, and it sounded quite philosophical.

　"You're right, Nine-Tails!"

　Ye Chen glanced deeply at the Nine-Tails inside the cage, then walked to the unconscious Kushina.

　He gently pulled up her arm, and in that moment, their minds and bodies became one, their consciousnesses spontaneously connecting.

　Ye Chen entered Kushina's consciousness and saw countless memories of her, from childhood to adulthood. She came to Konoha alone, initially ostracized by her peers, yet forced to attract attention as the female Hokage, yearning for recognition. Soon after, she was told she would be the vessel for the world's most evil tailed beast! Later, she endured so much: the destruction of the Uzumaki clan, the death of her grandmother! Kushina never told anyone these things, bearing it all alone.

　Finally, she resolutely entered the Dark Guard for training! After seeing these memories, Ye Chen couldn't help but be moved, thinking to himself: Why did this silly girl always have to silently endure it all?

　The mental space is an endless, dark river, unfathomable in its depths, possessing an immense suction force. Anyone who touches it even slightly will be pulled deep inside, unable even to struggle.

　Kushina felt herself suffocating, completely powerless, her body sinking deeper and deeper into the water.

　She seemed to have been abandoned by the world, alone in the darkness.

　The Nine-Tails' chakra is inherently filled with hatred and negative energy.

　Those with weak wills will have their consciousness devoured and be turned into raging puppets by the slightest touch.

　Kushina has a strong will, but she still harbors negative emotions.

　Furthermore, the Nine-Tails' chakra can amplify these emotions! As the Nine-Tails stated, this rampage was not actually initiated by it.

　The Nine-Tails' chakra leak was merely a medium; the real reason was that the Jinchuriki himself hadn't faced his own inner turmoil, allowing negative energy to take hold! Sinking deeper and deeper into the unfathomable abyss, endless loneliness engulfed Kushina, the emptiness within her widened, negative energy accumulating ever more, while the Jinchuriki outside struggled and went berserk! *Drip!* A clear drop of water suddenly rang out! Kushina abruptly opened her eyes, only to find herself no longer in the abyss, but standing on the water's surface! Before her stood Yoruichi, quietly, extending an arm towards her.

　She instinctively grasped the hand; it was warm, strong, and incredibly reliable! "Defeat it!"

　Ye Chen said

　"Defeat it!"

　"Defeat it!"

　These three words kept appearing in Kushina's mind! An unprecedented power surged from her heart, and the emptiness within her stopped expanding! The endless negative emotions encountered some incredible force and crumbled away! Kushina awoke again, but in the deepest abyss, her body had stopped falling! Although she was still suffocating, this time she possessed the power to fight against the darkness! No more sitting idly by, no more being defeated by the difficulties before her, and no more running away! Nine-Tails chakra, negative emotions—all vanish! Kushina struggled to swim upwards, reaching out her arms to embrace the light within reach.

　She seemed to understand what her grandmother, Uzumaki Mizukabe, had told her: how to become a perfect Jinchūriki! The fate of Jinchūriki is tragic; their bodies are merely cages imprisoning Tailed Beasts, filled with darkness and despair! So how can a Jinchūriki survive in this dark cage? Only by filling the void with love and kindness.

　This way, one won't fall into darkness, filled with a numb, lifeless Jinchūriki.

　"Looks like it worked!"

　Outside, Ye Chen had released the weight, and the Jinchūriki was no longer agitated and had gradually calmed down.

　"It's incredible, is this the bond between humans?"

　How foolish!

　Nine-Tailed Fox lay in front of the cage with a mocking smile, seemingly lost in thought.

　The Jinchuriki's body gradually shrank, his chakra slowly contracted, and finally he completely lost his Nine-Tails form.

　It transformed into a blood-red cocoon, and then Kushina's body was revealed inside.

　Kushina was unconscious at the moment, her body covered in wounds, but her breathing was even, and a happy smile lingered on her lips, clearly indicating that her inner turmoil had been completely resolved.

　Even if Nine-Tails chakra leaks again in the future, it won't be as bad as it was this time.

　Outbreak without warning

　Ye Chen's figure flashed, and he appeared beside her, picking her up in his arms.

　Tsunade came to Yoru's side and looked at him with concern.

　(1/2)

　Kushina, held in Chen's arms, asked, "How is she? Shall I treat her?"

　After thinking it over, Ye Chen decided to hand Kushina over to Tsunade.

　He doesn't know medical ninjutsu, while Tsunade is the ninja world's recognized super healer! In fact, with the healing power of the Nine-Tails' chakra and the Uzumaki clan's constitution, Kushina's injuries could completely heal on their own.

　However, to prevent any potential long-term effects, it's safer to leave it to Tsunade.

　"So now, can you tell me exactly what happened?"

　After Kushina recovered, Ye Chen turned around and surveyed the Konoha ninjas.

　His gaze remained icy cold, and no one dared to meet his eyes. The atmosphere once again turned frigid, as if winter had arrived.

　If it's another tailed beast going berserk, or some enemy attacking Konoha...

　Ye Chen didn't bother with it at all, but the tailed beast that was currently rampaging was the Nine-Tails! And the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki was Uzumaki Kushina! When he left, Hiruzen Sarutobi had patted his chest and assured him that nothing would happen. Now, in such a short time, Kushina was the person Ye Chen cared about most in this world, and the person he would do everything in his power to protect. Anyone who dared to lay a hand on Kushina was crossing his bottom line! The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was well aware that Ye Chen was on the verge of rampaging at any moment, even more dangerous than the suppressed Nine-Tails.

　After all, a rampaging Nine-Tails is irrational; it's a beast! And Ye Chen's strength is even more terrifying than the Nine-Tails'; if it really goes berserk, it'll be difficult to stop! Is he really going to be torn between using the Reaper Death Seal again, feeling helpless and frustrated? Moreover, he has no doubt that Kushina's Nine-Tails rampage is related to Konoha.

　Ye Chen doesn't care about sentimentality at all; in fact, he has absolutely no concept of sentimentality whatsoever! Putting himself in his shoes, if his girlfriend went berserk and was in danger, he wouldn't remain calm either.

　"Ye Chen, calm down. We don't know the cause of this either. Let us check if there's anything wrong with Kushina's seal first, and then we'll investigate in detail. I guarantee you an explanation in the name of the Hokage."

　Hiruzen Sarutobi was extremely focused, a bead of cold sweat on his forehead, as he stared intently at Ye Chen.

　After saying that, Hiruzen Sarutobi secretly gave Tsunade a look, hoping she would speak up and mediate.

　Tsunade desperately wanted to criticize the Third Hokage's unreliability, but since he was still her teacher, she said, "Although I wasn't with Kushina when it happened, I truly don't know the reason. I just checked Kushina's seal, and there was nothing wrong with it, yet suddenly the Nine-Tails went berserk. It's very strange."

　Ye Chen glanced at Tsunade, then at the expressions of the others, and confirmed that Hiruzen Sarutobi was not lying.

　What good would Konoha gain from the Nine-Tails' rampage? A few more people might die, buildings would need rebuilding, and besides, he's still alive. Konoha isn't just any ordinary person; even Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't do anything to her. Even Danzo wouldn't dare.

　"It really is him!"

　"Uchiha, Madara!"

　A fleeting murderous glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.

Chapter 361 Dealing with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki

　Is this content being published for the first time? (Second update)

　Looking at Kushina, who had calmed down in his arms, Ye Chen's killing intent gradually subsided, but it remained undiminished.

　The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and others couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads.

　Even Danzo was somewhat alarmed, fearing that Ye Chen might lose his mind and do something crazy.

　This kid is far too dangerous! He possesses such immense power yet is completely uncontrollable; it's a real headache.

　If Sarutobi had listened to me back then and let him brainwash Yoru, then this situation, bordering on riots, wouldn't have arisen today.

　If we don't find out who orchestrated the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage back then, we must keep that person a secret, or they will surely suffer a terrible death.

　In the end, Konoha actually became the scapegoat! How could he, as Konoha's strongest schemer, not see through such a trick? It was clearly a ploy to sow discord between Kushina and Yoru, and to sow discontent towards Konoha.

　Even if things calm down, the seed of discontent has already been planted, and the goal has been achieved.

　This tactic was undeniably brilliant! Ye Chen, unaware of Danzo's thoughts, gleamed with cold malice in his eyes! While he and Uchiha Madara weren't mortal enemies, Kushina's current predicament was undoubtedly linked to him.

　Madara Uchiha wants to control the entire ninja world, while Ye Chen aspires to reach the pinnacle of the ninja world and be free from all constraints. A battle between the two is inevitable.

　Only one person can stand at the pinnacle of the ninja world.

　Holding Kushina, Ye Chen turned to look at Konoha in the distance. Konoha was in a terrible state; houses were destroyed, and panic was rampant.

　Because the Nine-Tails' rampage suddenly erupted within Konoha, whereas in the original story, the Nine-Tails controlled by Obito at least attacked from outside Konoha.

　The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, who emerged from within Konoha, was temporarily restrained by Hiruzen Sarutobi and his allies at great cost.

　However, Konoha was also severely damaged; the Nine-Tails' power was undoubtedly terrifying.

　The unfinished business was left to the Third Hokage. Ye Chen said nothing, and left with Kushina in his arms.

　"Sarutobi!"

　Danzo walked up to the Third Hokage and murmured softly.

　Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression darkened, but he didn't say anything.

　"We must find the real culprit who caused the Nine-Tails' rampage!"

　In an unnamed underground base in the Land of Fire, a weary-looking Madara Uchiha slowly opened his eyes, a faint expression on his face, and muttered to himself, "It's over."

　"As expected of Lord Madara, but still, what's the point of doing this?"
