In a huge cylindrical room of the Air Fortress, Shinno, the leader of the Sky Ninja Village, looked at the accelerating wriggling flesh mass and let out an excited laugh.
"There's no mistake, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is in Konoha, it's Uzumaki Mito!" Shinno's eyes turned red. "With the Nine-Tailed's flesh and blood as a sacrifice, be born! Zero-Tailed! Devour Konoha's Nine-Tailed, and become the Sky Ninja's ultimate weapon!"
In the Senju Residence, Uzumaki Mito felt the Nine-Tailed's agitation for the first time.
Bang—!
The extended adamantine staff, standing tall, propped against the side of the Air Fortress, causing a violent vibration among the people inside the Air Fortress.
"Hiruzen! That's too reckless!"
Danzo Shimura loudly condemned Hiruzen Sarutobi's recklessness but had to assist him. Taking a deep breath, Wind Release Chakra condensed in his mouth and blew against the side of the Air Fortress, making it sway slightly.
Hiruzen Sarutobi shoved several soldier pills into his mouth, let out a roar, and the ground beneath his feet cracked. He used Yang Release Chakra to strengthen his body, which swelled a size, veins bulging all over, his face flushed red and his expression somewhat ferocious, pushing the Sky Ninja's Air Fortress out of the Village with the adamantine staff transformed from Enma.
Utatane Koharu and Homura Mitokado stood behind Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, respectively, injecting Chakra into their bodies.
"Yes! Yes, Hokage-sama!"
Everyone was drawn to the towering adamantine staff and witnessed a scene that shocked them all.
"How is that possible..."
"That's our Sky Ninja's..."
The Sky Ninja fighting Konoha Ninja were stunned by this sight, finding it unbelievable that Hiruzen Sarutobi and his companions had actually managed to push the Air Fortress!
"Hurry up, Hiruzen! I can't hold on much longer!"
An eye opened on the adamantine staff, and Enma reminded Hiruzen Sarutobi that he couldn't maintain this extended posture for too long.
"Understood!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi gripped the adamantine staff with both hands, pushing the Air Fortress and starting to run. The hard ground beneath his feet shattered, and his running speed grew faster and faster.
Danzo Shimura had no choice but to speed up and keep pace, as the Wind Release blowing against the side of the Air Fortress couldn't stop.
Utatane Koharu and Homura Mitokado also had grievances they couldn't voice; their Chakra was being consumed like flowing water, forcing them to eat soldier pills to keep going.
"What's happening?"
Shinno felt the Air Fortress moving; he remembered it was supposed to be stopped above Konoha.
Suddenly, Shinno felt a violent vibration.
Hiruzen Sarutobi gave a mighty push, sending the Air Fortress out of Konoha. The adamantine staff in his hand transformed back into Enma, who was exhausted and sprawled on the ground in a puff of smoke.
The Konoha Ninja cheered wildly at this sight, their morale soaring, and they fought the Sky Ninja with even greater zeal.
"Hiruzen... well done..."
Danzo Shimura said, panting; it was his first time using Wind Release in such a way, and it was the most tiring he had ever used it.
"He pushed the fortress out of Konoha with brute force? How capable!"
Shinno, listening to his subordinate's report, returned to the room, only to see the Nine-Tailed's flesh mass had transformed into a monster with a serpentine body and a masked face, with a "zero" character on its forehead.
"Come, Zero-Tailed! Let us together conquer the Ninja World!"
Shinno reached out to the Zero-Tailed, and the Zero-Tailed twisted its body and entered him, a demonic deep purple Chakra surging from his body.
At the same time, Uzushiogakure, in Land of Whirlpools, faced an unprecedented crisis. Elite Ninja dispatched by Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Hidden Mist invaded Uzushiogakure, slaughtering and plundering its books and scrolls like ruthless bandits who burned, killed, and looted without restraint.
Uzumaki Chigusa, the Village Leader of Uzushiogakure, led the people of Uzushiogakure in a desperate resistance.
Did the power of the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Technique incite fear and covetousness...? A fiery red car flew in the air. Uchiha Madara sat on the roof, propping his chin with one hand, watching the tragic battle unfolding in Uzushiogakure.
"No matter when, powerful people are always feared. Only that fool Hashirama... No, Hashirama was also a feared existence!"
Uchiha Madara recalled that after Hashirama's death, the Four Great Shinobi Villages eagerly launched wars.
To confirm whether Senju Hashirama was truly dead or faking it, before attacking Konoha, each Village hypocritically sent envoys to attend Senju Hashirama's funeral.
How amusing... Uchiha Madara couldn't help but want to laugh at this thought.
Looking at Uzushiogakure, which had become a sea of fire, Uzumaki Chigusa angrily dragged a Hidden Mist Ninja restrained by Sealing Technique formulas, demanding loudly: "Why! Why did you attack us?!"
"Why? Because of your clan's Sealing Technique, because your Uzumaki Clan are natural Jinchuriki!"
The Hidden Mist Ninja sneered and said, then dissolved into a puddle of water and vanished from Uzumaki Chigusa's hand. Several elite Ninja from Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Hidden Mist surrounded Uzumaki Chigusa, attacking her simultaneously.
Whoosh—!
The sound of chains rang out; several chains extended from Uzumaki Chigusa's back, coiling around the attacking enemies and sealing their Chakra.
At this point, it's too late to ask Konoha for help!
I can only try my best to protect more of my people and help them escape here!
Uzumaki Chigusa breathed slightly, stood up, and suddenly a dark shadow attacked. Adamantine Sealing Chains instantly bound it, revealing sharp bones piercing its skin in several places.
"Water Release: Water Gun Technique!"
A puddle of water condensed into a human shape, its hand forming a gun shape, firing a bullet-like liquid from its index fingertip, piercing Uzumaki Chigusa's abdomen.
Uzumaki Chigusa coughed up blood, covering the wound on her abdomen with one hand, and with a wave, adamantine chains pierced the Hozuki Clan Ninja who attempted to liquefy and hide, instantly making him collapse like jelly.
"Chief Chigusa!"
The Uzumaki Clan Ninja, who were fighting the invading enemies, cried out anxiously upon seeing Uzumaki Chigusa severely wounded.
"Chief Chigusa!"
Uzumaki Naino, seeing the gravely injured Uzumaki Chigusa, gnashed her teeth in anger, opening a giant scroll. Countless Sealing Technique formulas surged from the scroll, restraining enemy after enemy.
Pfft—!
The sound of a blade piercing flesh rang out. Uzumaki Naino coughed up blood, looking down at the blade piercing her chest. The large scroll continued to open, and Sealing Technique formulas restrained the enemies behind her.
"Cursed Seal Blood Imprint!"
Uzumaki Naino's blood fell onto the large scroll, which absorbed her blood. The Sealing Technique formulas restraining the enemies turned blood-red and drilled into their bodies.
Those Ninja, all elite Ninja who had gone through many battles, now let out extremely painful screams, bleeding from all seven orifices before dying.
"A Forbidden Technique of the Uzumaki Clan, performed at the cost of life... Savor this taste!"
Uzumaki Naino's vibrant red hair visibly faded in color, but the pain in her body was less than the agony in her heart. A joyful smile appeared on her pale, bloodless face.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Four elite Hidden Mist Ninja simultaneously unleashed Water Dragon Bullet Technique. Four giant water dragons rampaged through Uzushiogakure, and the Uzushiogakure Ninja screamed as they were struck and sent flying.
"Cloud Style: Thunder Blast!"
The Cloud Ninja swung his katana wrapped in lightning. Lightning flew from the blade, continuously striking the civilians and Ninja of Uzushiogakure.
The Suna Ninja controlled puppets to attack the Uzushiogakure Ninja from a distance, simultaneously using Chakra threads to control Ninja tools for attacks.
All the Ninja's objectives were clear: the Uzumaki Clan's books and scrolls on Sealing Technique, and only then, the capture of the Uzumaki Clan members!
Uzumaki Chigusa fully activated Adamantine Sealing Chains, and a terrifying barrier pushed all the people of Uzushiogakure out, leaving the enemies behind.
The Uzumaki Clan Ninja, seeing this, shouted anxiously: "Chief Chigusa!"
"Don't mind me! Run! You are the future of the Uzumaki Clan..."
Uzumaki Chigusa loudly stopped those who wanted to rush over. She had already decided to die with everyone in the barrier. Uzumaki Naino, who had used the Uzumaki Clan's Forbidden Technique, would hardly survive the enemy's pursuit in her current state, so it was better for them to go to that world together.
Uzushiogakure... Uzumaki Clan...
From today onwards, it will become a thing of the past… Uzumaki Chigusa walked over to Uzumaki Nano, looking at her dull hair, and at the surrounding enemies. The Sealing Technique formula of the Four Symbols Sealing appeared all over her body. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said with a smile, "You all want to plunder everything from the Uzumaki Clan so much, then let me take you all to that world with me!"
"I'm sorry, Naino…"
Uzumaki Chigusa touched Uzumaki Nano's pale face, and her already numb heart ached.
"Chief Chigusa… I don't mind… It's enough to drag all of them down with me before I die!"
Uzumaki Nano looked at the surrounding enemies with a hint of hatred in her eyes. From their attire and headbands, she could tell which village they were from.
Before today, if someone had said that the Four Great Shinobi Villages, excluding Konoha, would unite to invade Uzushiogakure, she would never have believed it, and would even have suspected that the person was dreaming!
Uzushiogakure had never been at odds with any village, nor had it participated in any wars. Why would they attack them?
"Stop her!"
"Don't let her activate that Sealing Technique!"
The Ninja from each village realized that the Sealing Technique Uzumaki Chigusa was about to activate was definitely not simple. They all rushed towards Uzumaki Chigusa, intending to kill her to prevent her from activating the Sealing Technique.
It's useless, you can't escape the barrier formed by the Adamantine Sealing Chains, nor can you escape the sealing of the Four Symbols Sealing!
Uzumaki Chigusa faced their attacks without dodging or flinching, calmly embracing the arrival of death.
What a pity… I still haven't seen… seen… the continuation of that book… Oh no, I forgot to put away those manuscripts, I should have brought them with me… The Sealing Technique formula of the Four Symbols Sealing on Uzumaki Chigusa's body seemed to have liquid flowing within it, as if about to burst out.
Swish—!
A white figure suddenly appeared.
"White Snake Scale Blade!"
A huge white snake tail swept across, and the Ninja rushing towards Uzumaki Chigusa and Uzumaki Nano were sent flying. Blood and flesh scraped off by the blade-like scales fell to the ground.
The Ninja who fell heavily to the ground let out painful screams, with multiple bone fractures all over their bodies. A large piece of flesh was brutally scraped off where they were hit by the snake tail. They quickly took out and consumed Healing Pills, and the flesh at the wounds regenerated rapidly, with the broken bones also accelerating their healing.
"Who are you?"
Uzumaki Chigusa looked at the figure in the white robe in front of her. She felt that the figure's Chakra was somewhat familiar, but she dared not confirm it.
Under the sunlight, the white robe emitted a shimmering glow, indicating it was made of white snakeskin.
"It's me."
Orochimaru raised her hand and took off her hood. Her thick, black long hair cascaded down her back. She had two pairs of porcelain white horns on both sides of her head, and wore bluish-green magatama earrings.
"Orochimaru?!"
Uzumaki Chigusa and Uzumaki Nano looked at Orochimaru, who was completely different from before, in disbelief.
