Chapter 32: Still Willful

39 years of Konoha

March 28th
sunny

Today seems to be Sakura's birthday...

Under the clear blue sky, Jiu Xing was shirtless and wearing only a pair of shorts.

Jiu Xing sat cross-legged on the grass. He was surrounded by eight flaming wooden stakes and there was also a complex spell formation beneath him.

Namikaze Minato and Tsunade stood quietly outside the formation, while Kushina stayed not far away. With Kushina as the center, dozens of golden chains crisscrossed from each other, forming a transparent barrier with a huge range like a dragnet, isolating all unstable factors.

Tsunade couldn't help but be amazed as she looked at the Diamond Barrier that almost blocked everything around her.

Not even her grandmother Uzumaki Mito could do this.

This woman named Uzumaki Kushina has completely surpassed Uzumaki Mito.

Even if Tsunade is unwilling to admit it, this is an indisputable fact.

The existence of predecessors is to be surpassed by later generations.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was followed by Hatake Sakumo, who stood quietly outside the barrier and observed the situation inside.

Just in case and to deal with various emergencies, Sarutobi Hiruzen also deployed a considerable number of Anbu guards around.

"Are you ready, Jiu Xing?"

"I'll be quick."

Minato Namikaze looked at Jiu Xing in front of him and tried his best to comfort him, telling the child not to be nervous.

"Ok!"

"I'm fine, Xiaojiu is fine too."

Jiu Xing said calmly.

wrong!

I have a problem!!!
I don't want to add another seal!!!
The Nine-Tailed Fox roared madly in the sealed space inside Jiu Xing's body.

However, everything he did was in vain.

It couldn't change the fact that he would have to fill in another seal soon.

"Xiaojiu?"

"Is that Kyuubi's name?"

Namikaze Minato looked at Jiu Xing with some surprise.

"Yes, because Xiaojiu has always been unwilling to tell me his name."

"If nothing unexpected happens, he should stay with me for a long time."

"So I took it upon myself to give him a name."

"But he never seemed to like it very much."

Minato Namikaze stared at the child in front of him, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

He gently rubbed Jiu Xing's hair and said:

"Jiu Xing, you will be an excellent person in the future."

Excellent people.

It is not said that Minato Namikaze was an excellent ninja. No matter how a ninja is glorified, he is ultimately an executioner-like existence.

This is an unchangeable fact.

In his opinion, Jiu Xing's behavior was a very respectful act towards others, even if the other party was a tailed beast.

Jiu Xing also respects Kyuubi.

Although this child usually behaves very naughty, as the Third Hokage said, this is just a disguise for the child to protect others.

"Minato, we can begin."

Kushina, who was not far away, had now completely stabilized the Diamond Barrier.

"Jiu Xing, let's start."

"Ready."

Namikaze Minato quickly formed seals with his hands, and a huge amount of chakra surged out of his body.

The extremely huge chakra even formed a blue flame on Minato Namikaze's body that was visible to the naked eye!
"bring it on."

As Jiu Xing finished speaking, a black whirlpool-like sealing technique appeared on his stomach. This was the Four Symbols Seal set up by Uzumaki Mito!

"coming!"

Minato Namikaze suddenly pressed his palm on Kyuuki's stomach!
"Four Symbols Seal!"

As Minato Namikaze performed the spell, a layer of magic pattern emerged from the outer circle of the originally simple Four Symbols Seal on Kyuuki's belly, surrounding the original sealing spell like stars surrounding the moon.

"The two Four Symbols Seals can actually be connected and used together."

"Thus, a more powerful sealing technique was born."

"This way, all the Nine-Tails chakra that was originally leaked can be converted into Jiu Xing's chakra."

"Why didn't I think of that?"

“What an excellent young man.”

A sudden voice sounded in the ears of Kyuuki and Minato Namikaze. This sudden situation made Minato Namikaze instantly alert.

This voice is...

Jiu Xing was a little dazed. He would never forget that it was this woman who put the Nine-Tailed Fox into his body...

In just a blink of an eye, the scenery in front of me suddenly changed.

Originally, there was a training ground in Konoha in front of him, but the scene in front of him had turned into a golden and white color.

This is the sealed space inside Jiuxing's body!
Looking at the big fox not far away, in addition to the stone balls and wooden stakes that originally imprisoned him, there are now countless golden chains tightly binding him, and the other end of the chain is surprisingly deep underground in this sealed space.

Obviously, the Nine-Tailed Fox has been put into a more secure seal.

"Long time no see, Jiu Xing."

"I didn't expect you'd grown so big."

A woman with red hair cascading down like a waterfall, delicate features, wearing a white robe, and a purple mark on her forehead smiled at the boy in front of her.

"Ah?"

"Who are you, beautiful lady?"

Looking at the woman in front of him whom he had never seen before, Jiu Xing spoke subconsciously.

"Mito-sama."

Namikaze Minato's voice sounded from behind Kyuuki.

Only then did Jiu Xing realize that Namikaze Minato was also in his sealed space at this moment.

Uzumaki Mito looked at Namikaze Minato in front of her kindly. She knew everything about the outside world.

She knew that the man in front of her did not exist in this world, but belonged to another distant time and space.

"Thank you very much for helping Jiu Xing, Xun from another world."

"Mito, grandma?"

Jiu Xing looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief.

Jiu Xing knew that he left his chakra in the sealed space so that the Nine-Tails could help him when it broke the seal in the future.

But he knew Uzumaki Mito, and she was already an old woman at that time!

Just as he thought of this, Jiu Xing was hit hard on the head by Uzumaki Mito.

The intensity is just right, and it doesn't hurt your brain.

"Jiu Xing, don't think I don't know what bad things you are thinking."

Uzumaki Mito clenched his fists and a well-shaped pattern appeared on his forehead.

That’s right, the beautiful girl in front of you is Uzumaki Mito!
This familiar fist reminded Jiu Xing of the time when he was in the Senju family.

"I think this should be the backup plan you left for Jiu Xing, Mito-sama."

"Use the last of my chakra to stay with Jiu Xing, so that I can use it in the future if needed."

Namikaze Minato carefully observed the existence of Uzumaki Mito. If Kyuyuki had such an existence, then did his son Namikaze Menma also have Uzumaki Mito's back-up plan?
"good."

"This is the method I left for Jiu Xing, but you use the Four Symbols Seal to cover the original Four Symbols Seal to form a new Bagua Seal."

"This made me feel a little itchy, so I took the initiative to want to meet you."

Uzumaki Mito looked closely at Namikaze Minato in front of him and spoke.

Well, this is very Uzumaki Mito, as willful as ever.
