Chapter 4: binding oath
When my vision cleared, I saw thousands of blue and red dots coming together to form dark spheres.
When I was surrounded by hundreds of these dark orbs, I understood why Kuruma was laughing, he probably thought he had won the battle.
I spoke in a calm tone, surprising Kurama as I looked at the swelling dark spheres around me.
"You think you won, don't you?"
"No matter how tough an insect you are, you can't survive such a big explosion."
I touched Kurama's skin as the dark orbs reddened and were about to explode
"Do you really think like that, Kurama? Oh, by the way, I already said it, but my name is Sukuna, the king of curses."
Cursed technique • cleave
Huge wounds that spread all over Kurama's body from where my fingers touched suddenly appeared and made Kurama vomit blood.
This time, when I used the technique, I aimed to establish the kurama as a whole, not a specific part of it. This attack consumed all the cursed energy in my body at once, but in return, I left Kurama a wound that he could not easily heal. and then the black spheres around me also exploded
A huge mushroom cloud suddenly appeared in the middle of a huge and ruined city, causing hundreds of skyscrapers to collapse at the same time.
A few seconds later, in the void in the middle of a ruined city, two monsters were lying on the ground a few hundred meters away from each other.
One of these monsters had a human-like structure, while the other was an orange nine-tailed fox with a height of hundreds of meters.
Although there was not a single intact skin left on the body of the fox, which had nine tails, it was slowly healing while white smoke was coming out of its body.
If the beast, which looked like a human, was seen by others, it would be thought to be a large pile of meat left behind from a torn animal.
I could barely open one of my eyes as it stood a few meters away from my body and the first thing I saw was the body rapidly recovering.
If he got better and came to me, he probably wouldn't let me get better again.
I quickly tried to activate my reverse cursed technique, but there wasn't even a tiny bit of cursed energy left in my body.
With the healing speed of my cursed energy, I needed at least 5 more minutes to have enough cursed energy to regenerate myself, but the theory could easily heal within 5 minutes and come to you.
I tried to think as quickly as I could and come up with a plan on how to get out of this situation.
While Kurama's body was half healed, a plan finally came to my mind. I closed my eyes and focused on what the real owner of the spiritual space I was in felt.
---------
A young girl was sitting cross-legged in the middle of a forested area. The girl's dress was pulled down enough to reveal her shoulders and part of her chest. A long-haired man was drawing a seal consisting of complex writings on the girl's exposed skin with his fingers.
After Orochimaru filled Kushina's exposed shoulder with seal symbols, he lifted Kushina's dress from the back, placed it on her shoulder, and continued to use chakra to engrave the seal symbols on Kushina's bare back.
After a while, Orochimaru finished engraving the seal on Kushina's body and drew a large circle around Kushina, under the watchful eyes of the ninjas around him.
Then Orochimaru stepped back and drew another circle around the first circle and stabbed the kunai made of chakra metal that he had previously prepared in some parts of the circles he drew.
After creating several seals using his hands, Orochimaru loudly shouted the name of the ninjutsu technique he used.
Fuin Jutsu • fuuja houin
With Orochimaru's use of the technique, the writings engraved on Kushina's body were absorbed into the 3 Tomoe-shaped symbols on Kushina's left shoulder.
When the sealing process was completed, Kushina took a deep breath and started straightening her clothes.
When Minato saw that Kushina suddenly stopped moving while she was adjusting her clothes, he asked if there was something wrong.
Before Kushina could answer, she collapsed to the ground and was covered in sweat. The seal on Kushina's shoulder was glowing a red color
While Kushina was writhing in pain on the ground, Minato shouted towards her right side.
" Kakashi quickly get the water "
Immediately after the shouting sound, a white-haired boy appeared among the ninjas on the side and gave the water in my hand to Minato.
After Minato made Kushina drink some water, he saw that Kushina was starting to calm down and he leaned her into his arms.
Kushina started to calm down after a while, just as Kushina was about to say that she was fine, she fell still again.
When Minato saw that Kushina wasn't moving, he thought something had happened to her and started checking on Kushina.
As Minato's hand was moving towards Kushina's neck to feel her pulse, suddenly his hand was grabbed by Kushina.
" He talked to me "
Minato responded after feeling a brief joy when he saw his wife talking to him again.
" Who "
"The other thing I'm talking about is human-like"
"What did he say to you?"
"He offers me a deal"
Minato was filled with uneasiness.
"What kind of deal?"
"He told me that if I stopped Kurama from destroying him, he would owe me a favor in the future."
"Kurama who"
Kushina closed her eyes and became quiet for a moment before answering:
"You say that Kuruma is the real name of the kyubi."
Minato remained silent in confusion and thought for a while before answering.
"I don't know anything about what you're talking about, but you can't easily trust something that has done you so much damage."
Kushina was not feeling any pain at the moment as the battle within Kushina's soul had been paused due to both sides being seriously injured.
"My senses tell me that they are two monsters that are not very different from each other, but when the monster that calls himself the king of curses talked about the contract, I had a feeling that neither side could break the contract."
"Are you sure about this?"
" Yes "
"You told me that if I help him defeat Kuruma, he will owe me a favor."
"We don't know what will happen if he defeats Kurama, Kushina, so decide carefully."
After Kushina closed her eyes again, when she opened her eyes again, tears were flowing from Kushina's eyes.
"What happened, are you okay?"
"He said that I am currently pregnant with a son. If I don't accept his request and he and Kurama continue to fight like this for a long time, eventually both me and my son will die."
The ninjas around heard Kushina talking to one of the monsters sealed in her body and then started gossiping, and became silent with Kushina's last words.
Meanwhile, Sarutabi Hiruzen came to the husband and wife duo.
"Kushina, we don't know what kind of monster he is, you can't trust him, maybe he's cheating on your feelings."
Minato turned around angrily and came face to face with the former Hokage.
"What are you trying to say, Hiruzen?"
When he saw the boy, who was always obedient to Hiruzen, standing in front of him with red eyes, he realized that if he had the wrong attitude towards this situation, he would have to rearrange his future plans.
Meanwhile, Kushina suddenly spoke, causing the tension in the environment to dissipate.
", he said that he can see the future, that if I help him with the Adamantine Sealing Chains, he will not take over my son's body in the future, who is destined to become the next jinchuriki, and also, I will have the right to a request from him."
When he heard these, not only Minato but even Hiruzen was shocked. Neither of them ever expected that the next Jinchuriki would be Minato's son.
"Remember, Minato, thanks to the presence of the kyubi, I can easily distinguish between lies and truth."
Even though Minato knew his wife was telling the truth, he didn't know what to say right now.
"Minato said that he also knew my grandmother and grandfather, maybe he is more reliable than Kuruma. Besides, he has a power equal to Kuruma, maybe he can protect our son who will be born in the future and the village."
When Minato heard the word son, he felt a lightning in his heart, he had not gotten used to this situation until now, but when he heard the word son from his wife's mouth, a nameless flame burned in Minato's heart.
"Kushina, you must accept, and in the future, your only duty is to keep him in good will towards the village."
Minato turned around again and gave Hiruze a look that prevented him from speaking further.
They soon decided to conclude this issue with an emergency vote
Meanwhile, those who were present and qualified to vote were Minato, Kushina, Orochimaru, and Sarutabi Hiruzen.
Kushina accepted without hesitation with her maternal instinct.
Orochimaru only agreed because he found the situation interesting.
Sarutabi Hiruzen has always had a nightmare that he will not be able to suppress the Kyubi and that it will cause the destruction of the village. Because Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that he was the weakest hokage ever, but he trusted his mind to become the hokage. According to Sarutobi Hiruzen, a monster that could be manipulated was ten times better than the kyubi, which was just anger.
After thinking for a while, Sarutabi voted in favor of the vote.
Minato now saw that his vote was unimportant, and despite his instincts warning him otherwise, he followed his wife and voted in approval.
Kushina knew she didn't have time to wait, so without hesitation, she immediately sat cross-legged and closed her eyes. Immediately afterwards, a golden aura began to echo around Kushina.
---------- Inside Kushina's spiritual domain
Convincing Kushina was a very difficult process. I had made a binding oath with Kushina and I had to ensure that Kushina did not die until Naruto was born.
Kushina now stood in front of the eight trigram seals and began to create seals using her hands as she stared in surprise at the huge city in front of her.
Even though Kushina found my appearance weird, she started doing her own thing
Golden chains were appearing from all over the spiritual realm and attacking the newly healed Kuruma. Meanwhile, I was slowly renewing my cursed energy.
Naturally, Kurama knew all the conversations between us, but there was nothing he could do. For Kurama, the people who attacked and sealed him were despicable beings, and making a deal with them was completely unacceptable.
About five minutes later, after Kurama forcibly broke the golden chains wrapped around his body, he turned his head and called me.
While Kurama was looking for where I was, I landed on his head at high speed and crushed his head with my feet.
The force generated when Kurama collided with the ground caused the ground to collapse at a distance of 200 meters.
I jumped down from Kurama's head and landed on the ground next to his head. As soon as Kurama recovered from his initial stupor, he tried to raise his head angrily. At that moment, I hit Kurama's head with a back kick, knocking him back.
When I saw Kurama being thrown back by smashing the buildings, I ignored the pain in my foot and ran after Kurama.
After taking a few steps that resembled jumping, I had already reached Kuruma's body. I did not give Kuruma the opportunity to react, and with the momentum I had, I threw Kuruma back a long distance again with a punch.
Kurama acted quickly this time and immediately stood up and began to combine his yin and yang chakra in front of his mouth to create the tailed beast bomb, the only technique he knew.
At this moment, a huge golden chain came out of the ground and landed on Kuruma's back.
As soon as Kurama and the golden chain came into contact, the tailed beast bomb that Kurama had collected dispersed and turned into dust.
"How dare you fucking insects dare to toy with me like that."
Kurama roared in anger and used one of his tails to shatter the golden chain.
Due to the previous canceled move and the blows he had been taking for a while, Kurama's chakra recovery rate was outpacing his consumption rate.
According to the agreement I made with Kushina, I couldn't let Kushina die and indirectly cause Naruto's death.
For this reason, I had to prevent kyubi from using powerful techniques and I couldn't use attack techniques that would consume too much cursed energy at the same time.
This kind of meant that I wouldn't be able to use my Fire arrow ability anytime soon.
