Chapter 80: System, Give Me The Rewards Quick
Yoru was terrified.
If he didn’t do something, the Senju Clan was about to face clan annihilation right before his eyes.
In the original story, the Senju Clan’s clan annihilation was real, leaving only the disabled and elderly in the clan compound; the Senju Clan couldn’t even defend their ancestral home in the clan compound.
Moreover, with the Senju Clan’s method of clan annihilation, other ninja clans couldn’t say anything about it, and even Tsunade couldn’t claim the village high-ranking officials were wrong.
Danzo had always wanted the Anbu to complete the Nine-Tails Seal, but the Senju Clan insisted on independently sealing the Nine-Tails.
Senju Clan annihilation was something Yoru didn’t want to see.
So, what could he do?
The Nine-Tails roared in pain toward the sky.
Its head and shoulders, forelimbs were still that of a normal colossal beast.
But from its chest downward, it rapidly shrank like a funnel, until connecting to Kushina Uzumaki’s weak back.
Forcibly stuffing the Nine-Tails into a human-sized vessel, the Nine-Tails’ howls were filled with rage.
The Nine-Tails’ waist was constricted by a rope to only about a dozen centimeters thick, utter agony for a giant beast dozens of meters in size.
The Nine-Tails lowered its head, its claw suddenly slapping toward Kushina Uzumaki below.
Senju Rinki’s wife was leading the Combined Sealing Jutsu, while Senju Rinki stood in front of Kushina.
“Earth Release: Earth Flowing Wall!”
A tall stone wall blocked the Nine-Tails’ claw.
Stones flew everywhere, some even smashing onto Kushina Uzumaki’s body.
Yoru breathed a sigh of relief; it was blocked—Senju Rinki’s Earth Release skill was very high.
The Senju Combined Sealing Jutsu exerted force again, all Senju ninja squeezing out their chakra.
Sealing Runes climbed onto the Nine-Tails’ body, its movements occasionally slowing and stiffening for a moment; every time it swung its forelimbs, it used all its strength.
The Nine-Tails swung its claw, slapping toward a row of Senju ninja.
With one swipe, over thirty Senju ninja were smashed to death.
Seeing the Senju ninja die and the Sealing Runes on its body loosen slightly, the Nine-Tails continued slapping at the Senju ninja with its claws.
In just a short one or two minutes, over a hundred Senju ninja died under the Nine-Tails’ claws.
The Nine-Tails howled at the moon, seemingly feeling its claws were too inefficient, as a Tailed Beast Ball appeared in its mouth again.
Kushina Uzumaki struggled to lift her head, murmuring: “Must not let it… release that jutsu…”
Two Adamantine Sealing Chains shot from her back, locking the Nine-Tails’ throat.
The Nine-Tails’ head tilted slightly, the Tailed Beast Ball missing the Senju ninja below and flying into the distance, exploding far away.
The Nine-Tails had too much chakra; one failure, and it immediately condensed a second Tailed Beast Ball.
Kushina Uzumaki was momentarily exhausted, able only to watch wide-eyed as the Tailed Beast Ball shot toward the side below.
In the terrifying explosion and rising mushroom cloud, over three hundred Senju ninja were instantly vaporized!
The ground trembled.
Every time the Nine-Tails slapped the ground, it brought earthquake-like shocks.
Dozens more Senju ninja were smashed into mashed meat.
Terror, fear, tears showed on the Senju ninja’s faces, yet no one retreated.
Among the dead were their fathers, their mothers, their sons and daughters, their cousins, their childhood friends.
Everyone held their positions, squeezing chakra to constrain the Nine-Tails with the Combined Sealing Jutsu.
The Nine-Tails slowly shrank, gradually being pulled into Kushina’s body.
After Mito Uzumaki’s death, over half the Senju ninja were dead or injured.
The Combined Sealing Jutsu runes on the Nine-Tails were dwindling.
After Hiruzen Sarutobi smashed the woods into wreckage with his Adamantine Staff, he leaned on the staff watching the seal.
Seeing the seal becoming increasingly difficult, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally raised his hand, then slowly swung it, issuing the attack order.
Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi had other thoughts, he didn’t dare go too far, or if the Nine-Tails fully rampaged, it would be trouble.
The four Anbu Battalions saw the Hokage’s gesture and quickly led their teams charging toward the Nine-Tails.
The Kiiroinu Battalion shouted: “Suppress the Nine-Tails! Use continuous attacks to consume the Nine-Tails! Relieve the pressure on the Sealing Jutsu!”
Yoru, as Squad Leader, closely followed Kiiroinu forward.
With the Anbu’s entry, Fire Release and Exploding Tags swarmed in.
Various attacks appeared on the Nine-Tails’ body, forcing it to swat away fireballs with its claws.
Some Anbu leaped mid-air, thinking the eyes were the Nine-Tails’ weakness, throwing Exploding Tags at its eyes.
What greeted them was the Nine-Tails swatting them away with one claw.
Bloody mists bloomed in the air—that was the Anbu’s internal organs.
Fragments of Anbu masks scattered in the air, but there were no heads behind the masks.
Too tragic.
Yoru thought, no wonder in the original story, the night of the Nine-Tails’ rampage created psychological trauma for a generation; the Nine-Tails’ attack power was too strong, and its defense far exceeded the ninja’s attack limits.
Kiiroinu’s Fire Release was astonishingly powerful; one Flame Bullet was half the size of the Nine-Tails.
Even the Nine-Tails had to expend effort against such Fire Release.
After successfully drawing the Nine-Tails’ attention, Kiiroinu accelerated forward, pulling its focus beneath it.
The Nine-Tails’ claw closely pursued Kiiroinu, smashing down.
Kiiroinu dodged, but Senju Rinki’s wife was smashed dead on the spot.
With the Anbu’s entry, Senju Rinki had just slightly relaxed, only to suddenly see his wife die miserably.
His eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins, full of terror.
Anbu… why not protect his wife? Not protect the core leader of the Combined Sealing Jutsu?
The Combined Sealing Jutsu rapidly collapsed.
The Sealing Runes on the Nine-Tails disappeared, its movements more agile.
Consequently, Kushina Uzumaki’s Adamantine Sealing Chains became unstable.
The Nine-Tails’ body tore a large section from Kushina’s, causing her to collapse on the ground in agonized howls of pain.
The Nine-Tails seized the opportunity, condensing another Tailed Beast Ball and blasting nearby Senju ninja.
After the explosion, another hundred-plus Senju ninja were killed by the Tailed Beast Ball.
Seeing this, Senju Rinki shouted: “Combined Sealing Jutsu failed! All Senju ninja, attack the Nine-Tails! Weaken the Nine-Tails!”
He had wanted to add that they must hold out until the Third Hokage reinforced the seal, but he didn’t say it.
Kiiroinu rushed to Kushina Uzumaki’s side, no longer acting recklessly, guarding nearby.
Yoru, as Squad Leader, landed around the Kiiroinu Captain.
The massive Nine-Tails loomed overhead, an extreme sense of oppression.
Looking up from below, only its wildly swatting sharp claws were visible.
The Nine-Tails’ fingernails were about Yoru’s size.
As one claw smashed down, Yoru rolled and crawled to the side, dodging it.
He hurriedly formed hand seals.
“Earth Release: Earth Spear!”
The Earth Spear stabbed the Nine-Tails’ claw, its skin slightly denting while the Earth Spear shattered.
The Nine-Tails’ body was too tough.
His several-meters-long Earth Spear was like cleaning dirt from the Nine-Tails’ fingernail crevices.
The other claw smashed down in succession.
Yoru hurriedly formed hand seals.
This time, the Earth Spear wasn’t to pierce the claw but like a thorn forest, dense and trapping the Nine-Tails’ claw.
It held for only about a second before the Nine-Tails easily broke free from the Earth Spear Thorns with slight effort.
Shattered stones flew everywhere.
The Nine-Tails, annoyed at the fox-masked ninja for meddling and wasting its time, swatted away the Fox Anbu who couldn’t dodge in time.
Yoru’s bones shattered throughout his body, and he died mid-air in flight.
【Host death detected, Moon Arc System activating…】
His field of vision shifted, and Yoru appeared on the previous full moon night.
He was outside the Senju Compound, monitoring the Senju Clan.
His head was covered in cold sweat; facing such a natural disaster, how could he prevent the Senju Clan’s clan annihilation?
System, give the reward quick—what are you waiting for?
