Chapter 7 Prequel Mission 1: Spare the Life from the Fox's Claw
After the Uchiha Assembly, life in the village went on as usual, and Shingon was recently looking for craftsmen. He wanted to build a few bicycles, but the craftsmen in Konoha Village said they had never seen a bicycle and could not make one.
As for the craftsmen outside the village, it was difficult for him to get in touch with them as a child. He could only ask the ninjas in the village who had missions outside the village to help inquire about them when they left the village.
There are many ninjas in the village, but few of them have been on missions outside recently. Zhenyan strolled around the village and asked two people in succession, but they both said that they had no missions outside the village recently.
Unconsciously, Zhenyan walked to the village's memorial tablet. From a distance, he saw a man standing in front of the tablet. The man was wearing a black cloak and was heavily armed. He looked like he was getting ready to go out.
Zhenyan's eyes lit up and he walked over: "Big brother, are you going out?"
The eldest brother in the cloak turned around. Under the hood of the cloak was a tiger-patterned mask with only one hole in it, revealing one eye.
Shinyan was not surprised. After all, it was very common for ninjas to wear masks. He was just a little surprised why this person didn't answer. Could it be that he was distracted just now and didn't hear what he said?
"Brother, are you going out?" Zhenyan repeated.
A dark red light shone faintly from behind the tiger-patterned mask. The light fell on the round fan pattern on Zhenyan's clothes. After a long while, a muffled answer came out: "What do you want?"
"It's like this. I want to improve the problem of travel difficulties in our village. To do this, I need to ask craftsmen to help build a few bicycles, the kind with two wheels, with handrails to control the direction, and feet to use the power..." Afraid that Brother Doupeng didn't understand, Zhenyan gestured with his hands while speaking, "But the craftsmen in our village can't make this kind of car, so I want to ask craftsmen outside to help build it. If this brother is out, can you help me find a craftsman?"
“…”
"I can pay a deposit first." Shinyan knew that hiring a ninja to do something would require a commission, so he took out his wallet again. In this world, although he was an orphan, he had a lot of property, so he could still afford the commission.
"……unnecessary."
"Wow, big brother, you are such a good person. When my bicycle is finished, I can give you one." Zhenyan said, "My name is Uchiha Zhenyan. When you come back, you can find me in the Uchiha clan."
Brother Doupeng's figure flickered for a moment, and then he disappeared from the spot. Zhenyan looked around in confusion: "Brother Doupeng, you haven't told me your name yet..."
The shadows of the trees rustled, and a faint sound came: "Shh."
"Idiot?" Zhenyan looked at the direction where Big Brother Doupeng disappeared, then looked at the memorial tablet in front of him, wondering if this Big Brother Doupeng was a very infatuated person?
...
After arranging the bicycle matters, Zhenyan spent some time reclaiming a small piece of wasteland outside the village and planted the radish seeds he bought last time.
Ever since he learned that there might be aliens in this world, Zhenyan no longer dared to underestimate the radish seeds he bought. After all, these seeds would increase the deviation rate.
In order to grow the radishes as quickly as possible, Shingon also tried to transfer chakra to the radishes. This not only stimulated the growth of radishes, but also allowed him to practice chakra control, killing two birds with one stone.
The white radish, which would normally take two to three months to mature, showed signs of maturity in just one week under the stimulation of his chakra.
That night, Zhenyan was thinking about the radish harvest when suddenly a deafening roar was heard, and the house seemed to tremble...
Zhenyan suddenly got up from the bed and ran to the yard. Looking out from the top of the wall, he could only see half of a giant fox's body and nine dancing fox tails in the distance. The fox seemed to be going crazy, and its sharp claws attacked everything around it indiscriminately...
The accident happened suddenly and the village soon became chaotic. Zhenyan ran out of the house and saw the ninja rushing towards the fox, as well as the panicked and helpless villagers.
Zhenyan did not hesitate and immediately stepped forward to help. Together with the ninjas who were maintaining order, they arranged for the villagers to take refuge in the air-raid shelter. With someone in charge, the panicked villagers were finally calmed down.
After all the villagers were settled, Shingon ran out again, and in order to see more clearly, he climbed onto the rock statue of Konoha Village. What he didn't expect was that someone had the same idea as him. There was already someone on the rock statue, but it was a very strange person.
This man's head seemed to have grown out of two aloe leaves, and his face was half black and half white, a yin-yang complexion...
Zhenyan was stunned, wondering if this could be the legendary alien?
...
The seal of the Nine-Tails was not broken by accident, but someone took advantage of Kushina's birth and the seal became weak, and summoned the Nine-Tails with summoning magic, which caused the seal to be broken. In addition, what shocked the Konoha ninja the most was that the shape of the Sharingan appeared in the eyes of the Nine-Tails, which showed that it was obviously controlled by someone using an illusion.
Minato Namikaze tracked down a strange ninja wearing a black cloak and a tiger mask. This ninja's moves were very strange, and he could make himself virtual to avoid attacks.
Namikaze Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique to deal with the opponent. He first used the contract seal to cut off the connection between the opponent and the Nine-Tails, and then seriously injured the opponent with the Rasengan. He wanted to continue tracking, but the situation of the Nine-Tails on the other side was more urgent, so he gave up the pursuit and hurried back to the battlefield of the Nine-Tails, and met with his wife Kushina and his newborn son Naruto.
Minato Namikaze looked at the huge body of the Nine-Tails and felt heavy-hearted, because there was a reality that he had to face, that is, if the Jinchūriki lost the tailed beast, he would die. This was the fate of the Jinchūriki...
The tailed beast can cause disasters, but it is also an important fighting force for the village, and Minato Namikaze is not only a Hokage, he is also a husband and a father...
In a short period of time, Minato Namikaze made a decision. He would use the Ghoul Sealing Technique to take away half of the Nine-Tails' chakra, weaken the Nine-Tails, and then seal the remaining half of the Nine-Tails into Naruto's body. He did this not only to retain the fighting power of the village, but also to place his hopes on his son. He believed that his son would become a very good ninja in the future and control the power of the Nine-Tails.
If he did so, he would have to die with Kushina, because the Corpse Sealing Technique was a ninjutsu that would destroy both the enemy and the corpse. However, he believed that Kushina would understand him...
After making the decision, Minato Namikaze went to see his wife and son. When he saw the weak Kushina, he did not show his sadness on his face, but smiled and said, "I'm back..."
Looking at the two most important people in front of him, Namikaze Minato's eyes were full of tenderness. He was brewing his next words in his heart. However, at this moment, the two very inappropriate words that Shingon had said popped up in his mind again...
[Fourth generation elder brother... Fourth generation elder brother...]
[If I rehydrate the radish before it completely withers, will it still survive? ]
Namikaze Minato suddenly froze in place...
Seeing that Namikaze Minato was standing there without any reaction, Kushina couldn't help but worry: "Minato, are you... injured?"
Namikaze Minato suddenly strode forward, his eyes gleaming: "Kushina, listen to me, I am going to seal the Nine-Tails back into your body..."
Although no one has ever tried this before, this is the only chance to save Kushina, so he has to try it no matter what...
...
On the Hokage Rock, the yin-yang-faced alien was scared away by the appearance of the truth. He was the only one left. He looked at the Nine-Tails from a distance, and saw Namikaze Minato carrying his wife and son to the battlefield? ?
What was she doing? Shinon didn't quite understand, but he soon understood, because the seemingly weak Kushina actually used a ninjutsu, and several chakra chains extended from her body, firmly locking the Nine-Tails in place...
Minato Namikaze took this opportunity to quickly form seals. This time he decided to use the Eight Trigrams Sealing Technique to seal the Nine-Tails again.
The Nine-Tails was furious. First, it was controlled by a genjutsu, and now it was sealed. The anger drove it to swing its claws, and its target was Kushina who locked it, and Naruto who was held in Kushina's arms...
Kushina was very weak now. Using one ninjutsu was her limit. When the Nine-Tails' claws came over, she had no time to react. However, at this critical moment, a voice that resounded through the heavens and the earth came over:
"Spare his life!"
Instantly, the whole of Konoha was quiet, even the sound of the wind seemed to have stopped. Whether it was the villagers taking refuge or the ninjas fighting, four words echoed in everyone's mind: Claw - Down - Spare - Life -
The lingering effect of these four words is long and lasting, lingering in everyone's mind over and over again...
In the end, it was the experienced Minato Namikaze who reacted first. He took advantage of the moment when the Nine-Tails was stunned, formed hand seals and performed ninjutsu, sealing the Nine-Tails in one go, and even cut the Nine-Tails into two halves, sealing them into the bodies of Kushina and Naruto respectively...!
