Absorbing someone else's chakra is difficult from the outside unless one naturally possesses such ability or uses secret techniques, like the Rinnegan's sealing absorption or Wood Release, etc.
However, inside Kushina, no secret technique is needed to absorb the Nine-Tails' chakra; it freely emanates, beyond the seal's control within Kushina.
Tailed Beast chakra is a unique life energy that can significantly accelerate Godzilla's growth. The negative emotions within the Nine-Tails' chakra seem to have no effect on Godzilla.
After absorbing the Nine-Tails' chakra, Godzilla simply fell asleep, seemingly less affected than when absorbing meteorite energy.
Overexerting Godzilla's energy during the battle with the Third Raikage caused it to fall into a deep slumber from which it has yet to awaken. Now presented with the chance to obtain the Nine-Tails' chakra, Yoichi didn't want to miss out.
Upon reaching Kushina's side, Yoichi placed his hand on her shoulder. Without much effort, he felt a continuous flow of chakra pouring into him.
The malicious and negatively charged chakra was uncomfortable, but within Yoichi's tolerance.
The Sharingan also has a suppressing effect on Tailed Beast chakra.
For Kushina, it felt like grabbing a lifeline; suddenly, someone appeared beside her to share the burden of negative emotions and the Tailed Beast chakra.
Unsure of who it was, her instinct to avoid being consumed by the Nine-Tails prompted her to share the chakra with this newcomer.
This shared burden significantly relieved Kushina, helping her escape from the hellish negative emotions.
"Minato, is that you? Yoichi? What are you doing here?"
Kushina, feeling the warm hand that pulled her from despair, initially thought it might be Minato, but turned to find Yoichi.
Last time, he had embarrassed her among the Uchiha, causing her surprise and confusion. Why would Yoichi be here, in her internal sealing space?
"Don't just stand there, hurry up and use the Adamantine Sealing Chains to absorb the Nine-Tails' chakra!"
"Why? Why would I do that?"
Kushina, puzzled by Yoichi's suggestion, protested, "The Nine-Tails' chakra is too hard to control. Actively absorbing it would surely overwhelm me, putting me in danger."
"Stop arguing. Without me, you'd already be under the Nine-Tails' influence. Just absorb it; I'm here to help you. What are you afraid of?"
"But..."
Kushina hesitated, but feeling the pressure on her lessen until the escaping Nine-Tails' chakra vanished, she stopped objecting.
Considering Yoichi had just saved her, she decided to temporarily trust him.
"Alright, but I'll absorb it slowly. If anything goes wrong, I'll seal the Nine-Tails with a sealing jutsu."
Deciding, Kushina began to form hand signs. The next moment, the Adamantine Chains wrapped around the Nine-Tails suddenly tightened, drawing in the Tailed Beast's chakra through the chains.
After absorbing a large amount of the Nine-Tails' chakra, Kushina quickly felt unbearable pain and knelt, her face twisting into a near-frenzied expression, and her body showing signs of a second-stage Tailed Beast transformation.
However, Yoichi quickly took in the Nine-Tails' chakra, easing the pressure on Kushina.
Once she recovered, Kushina realized, "You're absorbing the Nine-Tails' chakra?"
"I'm saving you. Without me, you'd already be under the Nine-Tails' influence."
"But, aren't you absorbing the Nine-Tails' chakra?"
"The two aren't mutually exclusive. Focus on absorbing the Nine-Tails' chakra. This way, you can also control its power faster. Train well; you also want to master the Tailed Beast's power soon and escape your current situation, right?"
Yoichi's words struck a chord with Kushina, reminding her of her imprisonment, loneliness, and restrictions as a Jinchuriki.
Though she had met Minato, his increasing duties meant less time together, and she faced rejection when leaving the village.
"Then, I'll listen to you for now."
Kushina, somewhat persuaded, deeply understood the Jinchuriki's plight and was more aware of it from Yoichi, who had been unwelcome even in the Uchiha clan's territory.
If there was a way to escape her fate, Kushina would try anything; she had always attempted the Cloud Village's method for controlling Tailed Beasts, albeit too hastily today.
Following Yoichi's instructions, Kushina continued to draw in the Nine-Tails' chakra.
With Yoichi sharing the bulk of it, Kushina became more proficient in controlling the remaining Nine-Tails' chakra.
"Foolish humans!"
The Nine-Tails, seeing its plan fail and its bindings growing tighter while its chakra was absorbed, roared in anger.
Regardless of its protests, the chakra was still being absorbed.
After a while, Yoichi announced, "That's about enough."
"What do you mean by 'enough'?"
Kushina, confused by his statement, found herself covered in a Tailed Beast cloak, with the signs of Tailed Beast transformation on her face and three chakra tails swaying behind her.
The chakra she had just absorbed, mostly taken by Yoichi, left only a small part in her body.
But this was enough for Kushina, as her progress tonight exceeded that of the past half-year.
As Kushina pondered, she suddenly found herself in an unfamiliar place.
"Where is this?"
Yoichi waved his hand, "That's not important. What matters is not to tell anyone about this. I can help you control the Nine-Tails' power in the future."
"Why can't I tell anyone? And you want the Nine-Tails' chakra, don't you?"
Kushina's suspicion was evident, and she recalled the previous incident, her voice dropping, "And about last time, that was your doing, making me embarrass myself in public..."
"What did you say at the end? Speak up; who can hear you?"
Yoichi feigned innocence, then shifted the topic, "Wanting the Nine-Tails' chakra doesn't conflict with helping you control the Tailed Beast. Aren't the benefits obvious to you? Other villages' Jinchuriki are becoming heroes on the battlefield, while you're still under surveillance in the village, facing rejection elsewhere. Or do you have a better method to control the Tailed Beast?"
"Don't forget, the method you're using to control the Tailed Beast, I risked my life to steal from the Cloud Village, and for that, I was hunted by the Third Raikage. Just now, I saved you from the Nine-Tails' control. Is this how you repay a favor?"
Using moral and shame against those with strong senses of duty and embarrassment is effective.
"A gentleman may be deceived by the right means, roughly the same idea."
Hearing Yoichi's words, Kushina felt a strong sense of guilt. Indeed, he had just saved her, and after obtaining the method to control the Tailed Beast, she had decided to thank him. Repaying kindness with enmity...
"If you plan to repay kindness with enmity, go ahead. I guess I understand you now. But if you do, you'll always have flaws in your heart, and you'll never be able to control the Nine-Tails' power."
Those with flaws in their hearts cannot accept the Nine-Tails chakra's negative emotions.
Kushina's guilt intensified, feeling as if many were accusing her of ingratitude, including Mito, blaming her.
"I won't tell anyone. I won't let others know."
"Wait, who said I was going to tell? Can't I just ask? If you won't tell, then don't. Hey? Where did you go?"
Kushina came to her senses, but Yoichi had already vanished.
The next second, she heard people calling her name. When she forced her eyes open, she saw the familiar ceiling.
Sitting up in bed, she was surrounded by two Anbu teams and a member of the Sealing Team.
They looked at Kushina seriously, then one asked, "Kushina, how do you feel? Is your consciousness intact? How's the control over the Tailed Beast?"
"I'm fine now. Have you been here the whole time?"
Kushina quickly realized that what happened wasn't a dream; the Nine-Tails' chakra might have leaked, alerting the Anbu and Sealing Team.
The Anbu who spoke first said, "We've been here since your Tailed Beast chakra leaked. But after the Sealing Team arrived, your Tailed Beast chakra retracted, and you're feeling okay now? Is the seal loosened?"
"I feel quite good now."
Kushina then sensed a controllable Tailed Beast chakra within her and brought it forth.
Instantly, a blood-red chakra covered her, forming a Tailed Beast cloak and three chakra tails swayed behind her.
This sudden change made the Anbu on high alert, thinking Kushina was again influenced by the Nine-Tails, seeing three tails. They prepared to signal the village to be on alert.
"Don't panic. I'm not controlled or influenced by the Nine-Tails. After some training, I've become more proficient in controlling the Nine-Tails' chakra. This is under my control."
Kushina quickly explained, not wanting the Anbu to send out an alert signal, as she wouldn't be able to rest all night.
Then, she retracted the Tailed Beast cloak and gestured to them, "I'm fine now. Don't worry."
Seeing Kushina wasn't affected by the Tailed Beast chakra, the Anbu relaxed their alert stance, and the team leader put away the signal flare.
However, he still asked to confirm by having the Sealing Team check the seal and then make a report.
Kushina agreed, "Sure, check it."
The Sealing Team checked Kushina's seal, confirming no looseness or abnormalities, and nodded to the Anbu team leader.
After receiving the information, the team leader asked Kushina some questions about her training progress and details.
Kushina answered honestly, but when it came to Yoichi, she hesitated, eventually omitting his involvement.
It became her own perseverance that overcame the Nine-Tails' chakra influence, gaining more control over it.
"You did well, Kushina. I'll report this to the Hokage."
The team leader said, then signaled his subordinates and the Sealing Team to leave Kushina's home, and he also departed.
Kushina's sudden display of strong Tailed Beast chakra was good news for the village.
"Sigh~"
After everyone left, Kushina lay back on her bed, pondering the night's events.
"How did he appear in my body's sealing space? Normally, you need a sealing jutsu and close proximity... but the Anbu were there the whole time. What method did he use?"
"And he said he'd help me train to control the Tailed Beast's power in the future? Is that true? Using today's method?"
Kushina had many questions. She considered seeking Yoichi at dawn to inquire. After taking so much Nine-Tails chakra tonight, he probably wouldn't be as unwelcoming as last time.
If it didn't work out, she wouldn't enter the Uchiha clan's territory.
Soon, Kushina fell asleep, sleeping soundly without the Nine-Tails' chakra disturbance, a night free from nightmares.
After leaving Kushina, Yoichi found his dream time running out. He didn't deal with the Nine-Tails' chakra immediately but went to check on Mina's progress.
This time, Mina surprised him by strengthening the control seal for the Reanimation corpses and even modified the seal to allow two sub-seals to control them, essentially creating a second remote control.
Yoichi was pleased with this progress, complimented Mina, and, to her anticipation, spanked her a few times before leaving her dreamscape.
"This is getting ridiculous. I might actually have to use this method with Mina in the future. I should find a way to correct this!"
After ending his dream time, Yoichi woke up. He then opened a compartment of the Four Symbols Seal and fed all the Nine-Tails' chakra to Godzilla.
With such a substantial supply of life energy, Godzilla quickly recovered, its body heating up again and the atomic reactor inside glowing faintly.
Yoichi, satisfied with the observation, noted, "It's recovering quickly. At this rate, a few dozen more times could possibly evolve it to its final form."
