The Armored Shukaku struggled with all its might, but the crackling electric light on the golden chains completely suppressed its power!
Kushina's eyes narrowed. She manipulated the five chains, viciously smashing the Armored Shukaku towards the ground!!!
BOOM!!!!!
Like a meteor falling!
A crater, about a hundred meters in diameter, instantly appeared on the earth. The churning mud and cement were all compressed to the sides!
At this moment, Choji, who had suffered heavy injuries, also fell from the sky and was steadily caught by Gamabunta and Gamaken.
"Well done! Choji!" Jiraiya exclaimed with great joy.
"Cough!" Choji coughed up another mouthful of fresh blood. He felt like his lungs were on fire, but he didn't care about that at this moment, intently watching the Armored Shukaku in the meteor crater.
At this point, the Armored Shukaku, under the suppression of the Adamantine Sealing Chains, was forced to kneel on the ground. Four of its arms were tightly bound, and the five chains tightened with force, making a creaking sound. Even so, it couldn't break free from the suppression of the Adamantine Sealing Chains!
Seeing this scene, Mukai chuckled softly in his mental space. "Heh heh, as expected of the Adamantine Sealing Chains that can even easily suppress the Nine-Tails. They are indeed extraordinary."
The Nine-Tails possesses the strongest chakra among all Tailed Beasts. It could even be said that the power of all the other eight Tailed Beasts combined might not surpass that of the Nine-Tails. But even a Tailed Beast like that, when facing the dying Kushina, was suppressed and unable to move!
Little Shukaku also jumped out at this moment and then said anxiously, "Hey! Don't act like this has nothing to do with you! Hurry up and think of a way! This feeling of being suppressed is unbearable! Didn't you say you were prepared for all situations?! Quickly use your countermeasures!"
The corner of Mukai's mouth curled up slightly. "Kushina and Minato appearing is a low-probability concept. If even this needs to be considered, then Ashura and the Sage of Six Paths on him should also be taken into account."
Naruto would be thrown aside by Kakashi and the others, then the Nine-Tails would deliberately provoke him, causing him to break the barrier. In the end, he would run into the Akatsuki's undying duo, and they would fight for half a day, ultimately leading to Minato and Kushina being brought out...
Even an absurd plot like this wouldn't be written in a novel. How could Mukai possibly anticipate that?
At most, he had only prepared a... universal method that could handle most situations.
Hearing Mukai say this, Little Shukaku immediately became anxious. "Hey hey hey! Hurry up and think of something! This great Shukaku doesn't want to be sealed again! Hey! Didn't you just mention Ashura and that old Sage of Six Paths???"
At this moment, Karin's figure slowly materialized. She smiled at Shukaku and said, "Saying you don't want to go back, but you might just end up in a seal, you know."
Little Shukaku was unhappy upon hearing this. The things it had just thought of were also thrown out of its mind. The Sand Village's sealing techniques were quite crude. The days it had spent in the sealing space before couldn't even compare to that Nine-Tails soaking in water.
But obviously, it didn't know what kind of hellish days the Nine-Tails had lived through when it was inside Kushina's body.
However, before it could speak, Mukai said to Karin, "Kushina's appearance was indeed unexpected, but being able to see the Adamantine Sealing Chains here is also a pleasant surprise. Try to see if you can sense anything. If not, we'll proceed with the final stage of withdrawal."
Little Shukaku's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this. "What are you talking about? So you guys did have a backup plan!"
A smile appeared at the corner of Mukai's mouth. "Don't get too excited. The best this can do is allow us to withdraw safely."
The Adamantine Sealing Chains didn't have any other actions. It could gather the Tailed Beast's chakra with its tails and then create a Tailed Beast Bomb outside its body.
Energy is first released towards the weakest point, so it would use the power of the shadowy scepter to maximally reinforce Shukaku's shell to form something like a cannon barrel. This way, most of the energy could be released in a fixed direction.
Of course, due to the close proximity, he himself might also suffer severe injuries, but Karin's healing abilities could save his life at this moment.
It was just that if they did this, the Armored Shukaku would definitely be destroyed, leaving them only with the option of withdrawal.
It was just a pity that the different dimension he had developed earlier was not yet mature. The spatial marker left at the original location was clearly visible, and this marker couldn't be moved. Kushina and Jiraiya also had the ability to break this marker and trap them inside.
Karin said at this moment, "I came for this very reason. I feel like I need to seize that spark of inspiration, but I still need some time, and... I'm not sure if I can ultimately master the Adamantine Sealing Chains."
"You can already feel it?" Mukai's eyes lit up when he heard this.
In his view, although the Uzumaki clan's Adamantine Sealing Chains weren't as overpowered as the Eight Inner Gates, they were also a shortcut that, once mastered, could instantly and greatly enhance combat power, and it was the kind without any side effects.
During the Fourth Great Ninja War, Karin had once easily shattered the low-level Thousand-Armed Buddha that even the Allied Shinobi Forces couldn't handle, using the Adamantine Sealing Chains. So, at least in terms of attack and sealing, the Adamantine Sealing Chains could reach the Kage level.
For this reason, Mukai had always been trying to find news about the Adamantine Sealing Chains in those villages in the Land of Grass, but unfortunately, he had never obtained any information.
Finally, the two of them believed that this Adamantine Sealing Chains, which only the Uzumaki clan could use, might not be mastered through learning, but rather, like the Sharingan evolving into the Mangekyo, it was something one would naturally be able to use, just like how the main character in a novel...
Therefore, what might be needed to master the Adamantine Sealing Chains was not learning, but awakening!
In Mukai's original plan, after initiating the Great Ninja War, he wanted to go to the Land of Waves to find possible surviving clan members and capture Karin Uzumaki to learn the Adamantine Sealing Chains.
But since they had encountered Kushina here, and Karin had a spark of inspiration, they couldn't easily give up.
Thinking of this, Mukai weighed the pros and cons in his mind, then said to Karin, "I will buy you time, but once I feel things are not going well, you must act according to my plan. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Even if I really die, there are many ways to revive in the ninja world."
Karin nodded, but Mukai's words clearly didn't reassure her; instead, her pressure increased tenfold...
But this was also Mukai's aim, because Karin was someone who could display extraordinary strength under pressure.
During the Fourth Great Ninja War, it was because Sasuke was in danger that she unleashed the Adamantine...
Hmm...
Next time I see Sasuke, I'll just have to find a way to kill him.
Having made the decision, the two immediately left the mental space. Then, Shukaku began to struggle fiercely in coordination with Mukai. Kushina, seeing this, had no choice but to increase her power, using all her strength to suppress the Armored Shukaku.
And this process of chakra change was precisely captured by Karin's Mind's Eye of Kagura!
Kushina didn't know she was being watched. Karin could sense that the probability of her mastering the Adamantine Sealing Chains was increasing!
What was happening here immediately alerted Orochimaru. However, Orochimaru once again summoned a large number of giant snakes to intercept. Ryuchi Cave didn't have many things, just lots of snakes!
Jiraiya, also noticing this, immediately ordered Gamabunta and Gamaken to attack from the front.
No, to be precise, they wanted to dig out the Jinchuriki from within the Armored Shukaku's body!
Because of the Tailed Beasts' undying characteristic, it could only be resolved through sealing.
But at this moment, Kushina clearly had no spare energy to help them apply a seal, so the only way was to deal with the Jinchuriki! This was also their original goal.
Gamabunta's short sword and Gamaken's iron sasumata continuously stabbed at the Armored Shukaku's body. The purple armor began to shatter and fall off in large pieces, and the muscle system made of sand was also being destroyed.
Jiraiya also concentrated chakra in his hand, forming a massive Rasengan several meters in diameter, and then pressed it towards the Armored Shukaku's heart!
"Ninja Art: Giant Rasengan!"
As his voice fell, a sand arm controlled by Mukai shot out from Shukaku's chest, grabbed Jiraiya's arm, and then, with one gulp, swallowed the Giant Rasengan, before returning to the Armored Shukaku's body.
"Damn it!!" Jiraiya cursed. Among the ninjutsu he had mastered, the Rasengan was the strongest in terms of single-point destructive power. This sphere made entirely of chakra was actually eaten directly by Shukaku!
Akimichi Choji spat, then also picked up his iron staff.
But suddenly, two giant snakes, like meteors, whizzed and directly slammed into Gamabunta and Gamaken. The giant impact force sent them flying a great distance, and the weapons in their hands almost fell.
Jiraiya looked into the distance. Orochimaru was once again entangled by the giant snakes. He silently sighed, then his expression immediately sharpened. He said to the others, "We can't waste any more time! Attack that purple gem on its head!"
Jiraiya's target instantly changed to Karin!
Mukai's eyes narrowed, and he immediately controlled four arms to desperately protect her head!
Clang clang clang!
The short sword and iron staff continuously struck down, and armor plates and sand fell off in large quantities.
Kushina used all her strength to suppress the Armored Shukaku. Mukai completely gave up sensing the outside world, focusing all his Mind's Eye of Kagura on Kushina!
The trajectory of chakra circulation, the undulating waves, the constituent structure of the Adamantine Sealing Chains, the distribution of chakra on them...
Every process of Kushina circulating chakra to control the Adamantine Sealing Chains was seen by Karin. All the information converged in her mind, making the spark of inspiration in her heart even brighter.
This was not surprising, because she herself possessed this qualification!
The four arms soon became tattered and broken. Then, with a crack, a fissure appeared on the purple gem!
Mukai immediately reversed the chakra flow, absorbing it into his own body. But just at this moment, Karin's voice suddenly came, "Brother Mukai!"
Mukai's eyes lit up. Then he saw two golden chains instantly shoot out from behind her, and at the same time, aiming at one of the chains binding the Armored Shukaku, they fiercely whipped out!
Thwack!!!
After a loud crack, one of the chains was instantly snapped!
Only Adamantine Sealing Chains can resist Adamantine Sealing Chains!!!
