Update; All chapter updates are Monday, Wend, Fri for the meantime.
Got my files sent to the shadow realm and I'm trying to recover stuff. I'd be two weeks before returning to the usual update schedule.

At this time, the villagers of Konoha felt the fear of all their previous achievements vanishing. Sarutobi, however, revealed a shocked expression upon seeing the barrier around the village.
The Four Red Yang Formation required four ninjas with Kage-level strength to create it.
Why would it appear here? He considered only one possibility: the Sannin had returned and were cooperating with Namikaze Minato to release this boundary. He could think of no other explanation.
Outside the village, the appearance of the Mimic Tear version of Kushina completely disrupted all the plans of the two men.
Uchiha Obito wanted to go and support his ally, but as he moved, Namikaze Minato suddenly appeared beside him. With a Rasengan at his abdomen, and accompanied by the explosion of a grenade, the concentrated power stirred into Uchiha Obito's body.
However, his body began to vaporize, and he prepared to escape, taking Black Zetsu with him.
"Escape? Flying Thunder God!" Minato called out, maintaining the Four Red Yang Formation, and then used the Flying Thunder God technique to swap places between himself and the Mimic Tear instantly. He maintained the formation while the Mimic Tear was in charge of fighting.
As soon as the Mimic Tear arrived, it used the strongest sealing technique currently held by Namikaze Minato, 'Dead Demon Consuming Seal'.
The Shinigami's appearance blocked the entire space, but Namikaze Minato was a half-beat too slow.
By the time the Shinigami appeared, Uchiha Obito had already disappeared.
After losing its target, the Mimic Tear dissipated.
The Shinigami paused, realizing there was another Namikaze Minato, but this one wasn't the one that summoned it. The summoner was a small gray entity that looked like a water droplet, and there was also a little figure that looked like Kushina, but neither was the actual summoner.
The Shinigami 'smiled,' amused by this situation, confident that it would meet this little gray summoner again.
Feeling the dissipation of the Mimic Tear, Namikaze Minato wore a serious expression. "Space Ninjutsu?"
Other than Space Ninjutsu, he couldn't think of any other way to escape from the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.
The Mimic Tear-Human Jinchuriki Kushina erupted with genuine power.
Tailed Beast Ball? It was crushed and exploded with her bare hands!
The restrained Nine Tails and the perfect Nine-Tailed Human Jinchuriki were vastly different in strength.
Attempting to store power? Then it will receive a punch.
Although the total amount of chakra was the same, one relied on brute force, while the other had brute force and technique, coupled with the Mimic Tear copying Kushina's sealing jutsu. It didn't take long for the Nine Tails to be brought under control.
As Uchiha Obito left, Kushina approached the Nine Tails and used the 'Law of Regression' to lift its mental rage.
Previously, the technique had been useless because of the distance and her fear of harming her child while holding him. Now, with the enemy gone, she could help Nine Tails resist the mind control.
Although the enemy had fled, the boundary was still in place. The Nine Tails had regained its sanity, but its next actions were uncertain.
"Help!!!" cried the sane Nine Tails, bewildered by Kushina Mimic Tear's punches in Nine Tails mode.
It remembered the Mimic Tear's power and knew it had to act quickly.
Seeing Kushina holding the child, Nine Tails thought:
Let me go back! I don't want to stay outside for another second.
Back inside, as long as Kushina visited the internet cafe, it could use its power to get a super large bowl of ramen.
Outside, it faced the possibility of being hammered by the Hashirama Senju again. Inside Kushina, it could enjoy games and use Tailed Beast Ball without worry. The choice was clear.
Kushina used a sealing technique, and the Nine Tails was drawn back into her body without resistance. Once inside, it immediately contacted Liu Yuan through TT.
"Boss! Another bowl of ramen, make it extra spicy!"
Liu Yuan responded, "Got it!"
Despite the closing hours of the internet cafe, some services continued. With enough money, the system would deliver anything.
Inside the seal, Nine Tails looked at the ramen with a satisfied smile.
Leave? Only fools leave. Here I can eat whatever I want.
It consumed the spicy ramen, enjoying the heat.
Elsewhere, sensing the disappearance of the Nine Tails, the bodies of Tobirama and Hashirama began to vanish.
"Looks like the enemy has disappeared. Let's go back. Just call us when it's time to fight."
Namikaze Minato also breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't fear the Nine Tails in pure combat but worried about large-scale jutsu harming the village. Now, with the Nine Tails under Kushina's control, he could return to his family.
"Kushina!!!" called Namikaze Minato. Kushina waved back, and the couple finally got to see their son properly.
For the next three days, Namikaze Minatk didn't show up at the internet cafe. Despite the cafe's time ratio, he didn't want to be separated for even twelve minutes.
A week later, Minato and Kushina returned to the internet cafe. Liu Yuan greeted them.
"How's the body?"
"No problem," Kushina replied, thanking him for his help that day.
"What's the point of being polite? You guys are important customers of this store. How's the baby?"
"Very healthy."
Kisara asked curiously, "So, can I see the child?"
When Minatk hesitated, Liu Yuan reached out and knocked on Kisara's head.
"How many times have I said that this store doesn't entertain minors, not even minors, and you want to entertain small children."
"But I want to see small children so much," Kisara pleaded, seeing the couple was willing but the store manager was not.
"No way!"
Before Kisara could finish her sentence, she was tied up with a rope by Liu Yuan, who then took a steamed bun bigger than her mouth and shoved it into her mouth.
"You're trying to say that you've committed the following offense, aren't you? Since you're so death-defying, I'll satisfy you today, I'll knife a Network Manager and sacrifice her to heaven today!"
However, Kisara struggled frantically, just wanting to say, "I'll just beg you."
Before she could finish her words, she was tied up, gagged, and thrown into the rest room.
Everyone was not surprised by this scene. When they were tired of playing games, the small interactions between Liu Yuan and Kisara provided a source of joy for everyone.
