Chapter 5: Chapter 5
Now inheriting the powerful legacy of the White Fang and benefiting from the immense Chakra reserves of the Senju Clan through Tsunade, Yusuke, who had already achieved peak Kage-level strength, faced a formidable challenge. He was up against hundreds of Konoha ninjas, the majority being Chunin elites, with a few Jonin among them.
Even without employing the Hatake sword techniques he had learned from Hatake Sakumo or utilizing Sakumo's self-created Lightning techniques, Yusuke was able to dominate the battlefield with an ease reminiscent of Madara Uchiha during the Fourth Ninja World War.
The ninja knife in his hand sliced through the ranks of Konoha ninjas with deadly precision. He showed no regard for their lives, his focus solely on his objective. He was indifferent to their fate, knowing that the deaths of many more would soon follow.
"This guy is incredibly strong!" Tsunade exclaimed, her eyes wide with shock. She had never witnessed such mastery with a sword before, not even from the White Fang himself.
"If this goes on, the sacrifice of our combat power will be for nothing," Tsunade realized with growing concern. She knew that if they didn't act quickly, their efforts would be in vain.
In a desperate move, Tsunade leaped into action. She raised her right foot high, channeling her formidable strength into a single, devastating heel. With the force to shatter rock as if it were made of paper, she declared, "Take this!"
Boom!!
The impact of Tsunade's foot shattered the ground within a radius of hundreds of meters, sending tremors through the shrine and causing chaos inside. The earth cracked and heaved under the force of her attack, shaking the very foundation of the shrine.
Inside the shrine, Mito Uzumaki, her face pale and strained with the effort, struggled to maintain control over the Nine-Tails' chaotic energy. Her focus was solely on completing the transfer to Kushina, who was also visibly suffering from the intense pain of the process.
Outside the shrine, Yusuke, having skillfully avoided Tsunade's powerful attack, smiled behind his mask. Dealing with Tsunade was challenging, but his main goal was not to engage her in battle. Instead, he aimed to disrupt the Nine-Tails' transfer before it was too late.
Yusuke swiftly used his Body Flicker to disappear from sight and made his way into the shrine, his movements precise and calculated.
"Is he targeting Grandma and the Nine-Tails? Could this be another attempt by the Cloud Village?" Tsunade wondered aloud as she pursued Yusuke. Given that the Cloud Village had previously attempted to kidnap Kushina, it was understandable why she was on high alert.
"Get out of my way!" Yusuke commanded as he kicked aside two Senju Clan ninjas who were blocking his path. Without hesitation, he grabbed one of the ninjas mid-flight and threw him back towards Tsunade.
Tsunade, startled by the unexpected attack, caught the thrown ninja but realized it was too late to prevent Yusuke from reaching his target.
Yusuke slashed through the shrine's gate with a single, decisive stroke, creating an opening to the inner sanctum. Inside, Mito Uzumaki and Kushina were struggling with the Nine-Tails' transfer, their faces etched with pain and exhaustion.
Yusuke, having no knowledge of Obito's method for releasing the Nine-Tails, saw his chance as Mito and Kushina were at their weakest.
"You, who are you!?" the shrine's defenders shout in alarm as Yusuke bursts in.
As they become distracted, the Nine-Tails' seal weakens, causing more suffering for Kushina and Mito.
"I'll take care of this troublesome ritual for you," Yusuke says as he rushes into the sealing array. The Two Thousand Hands ninjas try to stop him but are too late.
Yusuke reaches the center of the sealing array, between Mito and Kushina. He swiftly knocks both of them unconscious with the hilt of his sword.
"What?!"
"Why...?"
Mito and Kushina, deeply focused on the ritual, cast final looks of unwillingness, anger, and relief before collapsing.
"Make a fuss, Nine-Tails," Yusuke says with a laugh.
Roar!!
With the chakra restraint gone, a roar that shakes the heavens echoes throughout Konoha.
Boom!!
A giant claw emerges, and a demon fox as large as a small mountain appears, destroying the Senju Shrine.
"Grandma!!" Tsunade screams in horror and worry as she sees the shrine collapse.
Then, she watches as the masked man uses his hand to clear falling debris away from Uzumaki Mito and Kushina, before disappearing with a Body Flicker.
Confused by the masked man's actions but unable to think further, Tsunade rushes to pick up Mito and Kushina, shouting to the Konoha ninjas outside, "Withdraw! Hurry up!!"
Even without Obito's control, The Kyubi's heart, filled with hatred and ambition from being sealed by Konoha for nearly thirty years, remains unrelenting.
Surveying the area, Yusuke watches as the Nine-Tails prepares to attack. With its red eyes and gaping mouth, it launches a tailed beast bomb.
Boom——!!!
In five seconds, an earth-shattering explosion levels the entire Hokage Rock area.
A colossal mushroom cloud rises from the former Konoha.
"Hahahaha—what a view!!" Yusuke laughs ecstatically from atop the Konoha Ninja School building.
