Hmm?
Why just the two of them?
Where are Kushina and Kikyo?
The answer is, Kushina has to focus on suppressing the Nine-Tails to prevent it from going out of control.
Kikyo, on the other hand, is helping Kushina keep the Nine-Tails in check, while also maintaining the presence of Minato and Uchiha Kai in the sealing space.
As outsiders, although the two of them could enter the sealing space, they couldn't do as they pleased.
In theory, even the slightest movement would result in them being kicked out, just like when Killer Bee helped Naruto fight the Nine-Tails in the original story.
Kikyo's task was to maintain the two's presence in the supply space, ensuring that a slight movement or use of power wouldn't force them to leave.
This was something only the Uzumaki clan, skilled in sealing techniques and awakened with bloodline powers, could achieve. It also required long-term cooperation and mutual trust.
In this world, where the Land of Whirlpools had been destroyed, it was nearly impossible for the ninja world to meet these conditions, and this had never appeared in the original story.
Only in this altered world, changed by Uchiha Kai, a time traveler, through the butterfly effect, had such a miracle occurred.
Then, Uchiha Kai took action, directly concentrating his eye power on his left eye, activating the Mangekyō Sharingan power he had replicated from Obito.
When the Nine-Tails' eyes met Uchiha Kai's, it paused for a moment. The Mangekyō power had already taken effect, and it did indeed have an impact.
But…
"Damn Uchiha brat! Those evil eyes! You, born evil Uchiha!!!"
The Nine-Tails roared in fury, its anger and hatred more intense than ever, erupting along with a surge of dark chakra.
Clearly, the Nine-Tails felt Uchiha Kai's influence and immediately struggled out, recalling the Uchiha Madara who had used the Sharingan to control it, forcing it to be his pet.
For the Nine-Tails, this was a true ultimate insult, far more humiliating than the disgrace Senju Hashirama had brought it, ten times, even nine times worse.
Thus, the Nine-Tails completely exploded.
Seeing this, Uzumaki Kushina quickly formed hand signs, increasing the power of the Diamond Lock, which was the chain wrapped around the Nine-Tails.
The chains rattled as they were pulled taut by the Nine-Tails' fury, now completely straightened and on the verge of snapping at any moment.
Seeing this situation, Uzumaki Kushina was quite troubled and couldn't help but complain: "Kai, what exactly did you do to the Nine-Tails? Why has it suddenly become so aggressive?"
Uchiha Kai said: "It's nothing. I just wanted to see if my special Sharingan could control it. It seems like it can have some effect, but it's not very strong."
As he spoke, he was also thinking to himself, just as he had analyzed with the goofy netizens in his past life:
Obito could control the Nine-Tails not with his own Sharingan, but through the legacy of Uchiha Madara and the enhancement from the body of White Zetsu.
With just that Uchiha Kai's eyes, it was impossible to control the Nine-Tails.
There was no other choice; he had to go with Plan B.
Uchiha Kai: "Minato."
Nameless Minato: "Got it!"
With the response, it could be seen that at some point, Minato had already used a Shadow Clone, and the S-Class forbidden technique, which wouldn't appear until years later, Wind Style: Rasenshuriken, appeared in his hand.
This was the upgraded version of the Rasengan, which Minato didn't develop in the original series.
However, with Uchiha Kai's guidance and help, Minato had already developed and used it, assisted by his Shadow Clone technique.
Although it wasn't as convenient as the regular Rasengan, for Minato, it was still a powerful top-tier weapon, resolving his weakness of lacking a wide-range destructive jutsu.
However, normally, this advanced Rasengan technique wasn't necessary.
After all, the enemies encountered so far only required a regular Rasengan to defeat, and sometimes even that wasn't needed.
It was only now, when facing the Nine-Tails, that the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken came into play.
Immediately, Minato moved at high speed and threw the Rasenshuriken from about thirty meters away from the Nine-Tails.
After flying for a bit, the Rasenshuriken successfully hit the Nine-Tails.
Upon seeing it and hearing the sharp whistle of the wind it created, the Nine-Tails sensed the immense threat behind the attack and tried to open its mouth to unleash a Tailed Beast Ball.
However, Kushina wouldn't let the Nine-Tails succeed. She immediately used the Adamantine Sealing Chains to bind its mouth shut.
Though the Nine-Tails struggled in fury, its mouth was tightly bound, and it couldn't open it, preventing the Tailed Beast Ball from being unleashed.
In the end, the Rasenshuriken successfully hit the Nine-Tails, and the explosive power burst forth, as if countless tiny chakra blades were slicing through the Nine-Tails' body at a cellular level.
The Nine-Tails, with its mouth bound, could only emit a low, painful growl while its body stiffened.
But it wasn't over yet. Just as the Rasenshuriken's power, which had already consumed one-fifth of the Nine-Tails' body, was about to stop expanding, a Fire Style jutsu suddenly attacked.
The two forces intertwined, and as wind and fire combined, the power grew exponentially, creating a terrifying firestorm that engulfed most of the Nine-Tails' body, including its head.
When this result was achieved, Minato, seeing the devastating power, stylishly leaped back to Kai's side, smiling as he raised his right hand for a fist bump.
Kai, in perfect sync, raised his left hand, returning the fist bump. It was as if they had been partners for years, showing that this combination attack was far from their first time using it.
Indeed, the friendship between Uchiha Kai and Minato Namikaze, the two good friends, was so strong that even Kushina and Kikyo would sometimes feel jealous.
How could they not want to try the combination techniques, a specialty of the Hokage?
Eventually, when the explosion ended, the Nine-Tails was still there, but its once smooth and bright fur had turned dark and patchy. Its massive body trembled, clearly injured.
In a sealing space like this, a consciousness world, even a tailed beast would find it hard to recover from such a severe blow. It would take some time to heal.
However, despite the heavy damage, the Nine-Tails still glared at everyone angrily and wildly, keeping the chains of the Diamond Lock tense, as if they could snap at any moment.
Clearly, the Nine-Tails still wanted to resist, just like in the original series when it kept fighting Naruto after taking a Rasengan, bouncing back despite the damage.
Moreover, in the original Naruto, he only faced a half-tailed Nine-Tails, but now, it was the full version.
Minato furrowed his brows. "As expected, the Nine-Tails isn't so easy to handle. There's no choice but to continue. I hope we can deal with it before the chakra in the sealing space runs out."
As he spoke, Minato prepared to continue the attack.
However, Uchiha Kai raised his left hand at that moment, signaling Minato to wait. He slowly stepped forward and said, "Hold on! Minato, since the Nine-Tails is so strong, I should show it the highest level of respect."
"Therefore, I've decided to use a new eye technique I've developed. Once it experiences the power of my eye technique, it'll understand an ancient saying."
Minato, curious, asked, "What saying?"
Uchiha Kai narrowed his eyes, and a sinister red light flashed from his Sharingan.
"Those who inhale deeply become great people!"
"Huh? What?" Minato was momentarily confused by the classic Japanese-style Chinese phrase.
Uchiha Kai didn't answer Minato, and at that moment, he unleashed his yellow-quality skill.
"Nine-Tails, experience an ultimate sensation you've never felt before!"
"Intestine Taste Bud Technique!"
