Once Kushina leaves the barrier, a Yamanaka clan ninja will use a secret technique to enter Kushina's mind?
This barrier should be the one specifically targeting Kushina that appeared in "The Tale of Minato."
The Third Hokage asked Yōkō for his opinion on the barrier. Yōkō said: "Lord Hokage, Lord Yellow Dog, I believe this barrier might pose risks."
Yamanaka Inson turned to look at Fox; he had to take Fox's opinion seriously.
He had been deeply impressed by Fox on the Land of Rivers battlefield.
The Third Hokage asked: "Oh? What risks?"
Yōkō said: "I believe we can consider a Jinchūriki as a person with two souls within their body.
The Jinchūriki has a soul, and the Tailed Beast also has a soul.
If someone rashly enters Uzumaki Kushina's mind, for Uzumaki Kushina, it's just a village warning, which is fine.
But for the Tailed Beast, it might perceive this as an offense, an invasion of its territory.
Beasts have a very strong sense of territory.
Undoubtedly, the Jinchūriki's body is the Tailed Beast's territory."
The Third Hokage nodded repeatedly; Fox was right. After thinking, he said to Yamanaka Inson:
"What Fox says has some merit, but the Nine-Tails Barrier is necessary.
As Uzumaki Kushina's strength increases, she might escape the Anbu's surveillance. Squad Leaders like Fox cannot follow Uzumaki Kushina all the time.
If ordinary Anbu squad members monitor Uzumaki Kushina and she escapes, it would be troublesome.
Inson, organize an experiment on the Nine-Tails Barrier to see the effect and whether it will anger the Nine-Tails."
"Yes! Lord Hokage!"
Yōkō watched the Third Hokage focusing on the Nine-Tails Barrier and thought that the news from the Land of Grass probably hadn't reached the village yet.
Given the speed of messenger hawks, it would take about three days for news to travel from the Land of Grass.
Yōkō gathered all four squads of the Fox squad and rushed to the vicinity of Uzumaki Kushina.
Tsunade was about to take Kushina and the other two to the training ground when she suddenly turned her head to look to the side.
On the high platform to the side stood the Third Hokage, Yellow Dog, and Fox.
Seeing Fox was present, Tsunade relaxed slightly and ignored them.
As they passed a certain intersection, Tsunade sharply turned around.
Kushina was holding her head, seemingly in great pain.
A voice sounded in Kushina's mind.
"Princess Kushina, this is the edge of the Nine-Tails Barrier. Please do not cross the barrier!"
If it were just a prompt, it might have been fine, but the next moment, a terrifying sound erupted!
It was like a bloody maw over ten meters long growling right next to her ear.
"GET OUT!"
Kushina's eyes instantly transformed into the vertical pupils of a fox demon!
The fox demon found it irritating.
What dared to disturb the fox demon's slumber?
In the Barrier Corps, the Yamanaka clan ninja fell backward, unconscious.
Yamanaka Inson hurriedly went to check. After examination, he found that a powerful soul had attacked his subordinate; it could only be the Nine-Tails.
He thought to himself, as expected of Fox; his judgment was indeed correct.
Uzumaki Kushina might not do anything, but the Nine-Tails, the most terrifying beast in the world, was enraged.
Nine-Tails chakra leaked out, and visible ominous orange-red chakra appeared nearby.
The Third Hokage picked up his smoking pipe, took a puff, and said: "Fox was right. This method really excites the Nine-Tails."
He pointed his pipe at Uzumaki Kushina: "Go, don't let the situation worsen."
Yellow Dog and Yōkō vanished with Body Flicker.
As soon as they landed around Kushina, they saw Tsunade take action.
Tsunade took out the First Hokage's necklace from her chest and pressed it against Kushina's forehead.
Using some unknown sealing technique, Kushina's out-of-control Nine-Tails chakra instantly vanished.
Tsunade turned around, placing the First Hokage's necklace back into the deep cleavage of her chest while glaring angrily at the Anbu.
"What are you doing! Aren't you afraid the Nine-Tails will run wild?" Tsunade shouted: "What if I wasn't here and the Nine-Tails went berserk?"
The Third Hokage appeared with Body Flicker.
The Body Flicker speed caused the tobacco in his pipe to burn brightly instantly.
This puff of smoke was very hot, making the Third Hokage cough a few times. After coughing, the Third Hokage said:
"Tsunade, the village has deployed a barrier specifically for Kushina.
Starting today, Kushina's activity range is within a 3-kilometer radius around the Senju clan grounds.
Although this barrier has some issues, the Barrier Corps will continuously improve it.
Kushina's safety is paramount; you must cooperate with the village."
"3 kilometers? Only 3 kilometers? Kushina is my student, not the village's prisoner!"
"Watch your wording." The Third Hokage said:
"Don't use words like 'prisoner' to stimulate Kushina.
The village has no other good methods. As Kushina's strength increases, the effectiveness of ordinary Anbu squad surveillance will diminish.
The village must know Kushina's whereabouts immediately."
Tsunade argued with the Third Hokage for a few sentences, but the Third Hokage's attitude was very firm. Regarding the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, the Third Hokage would not allow the slightest accident.
"Tsunade, leaving the Nine-Tails Barrier is dangerous. Don't test it rashly."
Looking at the unconscious Uzumaki Kushina, Tsunade had no choice but to grit her teeth and take Kushina back to the Senju clan grounds.
When Kushina woke up and found herself within the clan grounds, she learned what had happened and felt very guilty.
"Mizu, Cha, I'm sorry for causing you to miss training today."
Senju Mizu said: "It's alright, Kushina. We can train at the training ground within the clan grounds from now on."
Tsunade suddenly pulled the door open with great force, stomping in with her high heels.
"No! The village is going too far!" Tsunade said:
"If the village is so terrified of the Nine-Tails, then let's show them what the Nine-Tails really is!"
Half an hour later, Yōkō, who was monitoring the Senju clan grounds, said with a pounding heart to Kika beside him: "Kika! Quickly inform Lord Yellow Dog!"
Yōkō rarely bothered his superiors; he would definitely complete any task he could handle himself.
Unless... unless the situation was out of control and required superior intervention!
Yellow Dog had just returned to the Anbu base not long ago and had just opened a scroll.
After Kika knocked urgently and entered, he said: "Lord Yellow Dog, Squad Leader Fox instructed me to inform you immediately that there's a situation with the Nine-Tails!"
Yellow Dog was stunned. This was the first time Fox had requested his intervention mid-mission, indicating the situation was somewhat serious.
"What happened?"
Kika replied: "Squad Leader Fox said that Princess Tsunade has partially unraveled the Nine-Tails' seal!"
"What?!"
No wonder Fox felt he couldn't handle it.
She had graduated less than a month ago, and Tsunade was already tampering with the seal directly?
Yellow Dog said: "Go to the Hokage Building and notify... never mind, no need, the Third Hokage-sama will naturally sense the Nine-Tails' abnormality.
Kika, notify all Anbu to go to the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki's location!"
By the time Yellow Dog arrived at the scene, it wasn't long before he indeed saw the Third Hokage arrive as well.
The open space behind the Senju clan grounds had become Uzumaki Kushina's exclusive training ground.
Kushina had lifted her top, revealing her abdomen.
There were black sealing curses on her abdomen.
Orange-red chakra surged around Kushina. Under the impact of the chakra, stones on the ground rolled away rapidly.
"What's with all the tension? I'm just teaching Kushina how to control the Nine-Tails." Tsunade said:
"Third Hokage, isn't this what you wanted to see? Kushina will master the Nine-Tails' power as soon as possible, very quickly!"
Yōkō thought to himself, this reckless woman's gambling nature was acting up again.
In the original story, when the Akatsuki organization wanted to capture the Nine-Tails, Tsunade's choice was to let Naruto deal with Akatsuki, reasoning that if Akatsuki were defeated, no one would capture the Nine-Tails.
Looking at the unconscious Kushina, Tsunade's method of unsealing seemed a bit rough.
The Third Hokage's face was grim, but he could do nothing about Tsunade.
The next evening, Yōkō watched as Uzumaki Kushina finished her training and entered through the back gate of the Senju clan grounds.
An Anbu landed beside Yōkō.
"Squad Leader Fox! Urgent report! The Hokage requests your presence at the Hokage's office!"
Yōkō thought to himself, had the news from the Land of Grass finally reached Konoha?
