- Kushina Uzumaki of Konohagakure no Sato versus Isu Nagamatsu of Kumogakure no Sato! Hajime!
Barely had the referee's hand just begun to lower, the swordsman was already standing with his weapon bared and swiftly streaking the air in front of him, sending blade after blade of chakra at Uzumaki.
He had obviously learned his lesson from his comrade's defeat and did not wish his fate upon himself at all, deciding to attack preemptively and prevent his opponent from getting any closer.
Kushina was indeed forced to place a protective kekkai in front of her, but contrary to my expectations, she didn't use the cover to try and engage in hand-to-hand combat, but stayed where she was, crossing her arms over her chest.
After a few seconds, it became clear why - dozens of golden chains burst out of the ground next to the nepotist, surrounding the genin from all sides and swaddled him like a chrysalis, along with the sword the genin tried to cut them with. The cocoon began to slowly shrink, squeezing the victim and Isu was forced to surrender.
- The winner is Kushina Uzumaki of Konohagakure no Sato!
- That was too fast," Saya sighed, "It was like going up against a jonin.
- Well, strictly speaking, Kushina is already at the level of a strong jonin, even without using biju power," he agreed with her, "and taking part in the exam is more for Konoha's PR than a real genin competition, otherwise, she would have been given a chunin vest a year ago, unlike all the other candidates.
- Politics," Uncle shrugged, as if that explained everything and it really did explain everything.
If the jinchuriki is anything to go by in terms of personal power, and not just being able to contain a sealed biju, then he's undoubtedly being used to intimidate his enemies and bolster the confidence of his allies in this kind of showmanship.
And the fact that Raikage and Kazekage are well aware of Kushina's status - you can not even guess, because the intelligence of the great villages do not eat their bread in vain, and the residual traces of chakra biju, good sensors are able to detect at a decent distance. In the keirakukei of an active jinchuriki, she would be by definition.
It was only Mito who could suppress the nine-tailed fox with her power to the point where his chakra was almost undetectable even at close range, despite its presence in Uzumaki. Even Shikaku, the weakest of the biju, couldn't be sealed so much that the raccoon couldn't be felt. For a long time.
