Chapter 244 - 244 (2/2)
”Wait… just, calm down!”
”That's to be said to you, I'm as calm as can be!” The masked man's tone had a hint of sarcasm within it.
Minato was in a dilemma; he had to choose: Wife, or son?
At this moment, he heard the Kyubi's voice: ”I will protect Kushina. Even if I'm extracted out of her body, I will leave part of my Chakra, and guarantee that she would survive for a short time. By the time you beat him, you just need to re-seal me again. Now, go save Kushina's child!”
Hearing Kurama, Minato's eyes became firm. Meanwhile, the masked man lost his patience, throwing Minato into the air, wrapped in a cloth filled with Explosive Tags.
Minato immediately flickered to Naruto, catching him in mid-air.
”You are really the Yellow Flash… But, what about this?” The masked man praised Minato, and then activated the tags.
After confirming that Naruto was not injured, Minato immediately moved back to his place, placing him in a crib and covering him with a quilt.
”You'll be safe here. Naruto, dad is going to be back soon… I have to go save your mother now!” After Minato finished his words, he disappeared.
At the same time, his mark on Kushina's seal was destroyed.
She weakly asked the masked man: ”Why… are you doing this?”
”I'm going to extract the Kyubi out of your body, and destroy Konoha! Minato's Flying Thunder God Jutsu allows him to teleport between locations where he has placed his marks. it appears he also placed one of those marks on your seal. We should hurry up!” The Masked man activated his Mangekyo, and his consciousness flashed through Kushina's body.
Kurama knew that he was about to be extracted, therefore, he immediately separated part of his Chakra and consciousness to preserve Kushina's life.
Just as he finished this separation, his eye took a Mangekyo's pattern, and then his consciousness was blurred.
”Minato's constantly protecting you, but now I have separated you. I have long awaited this moment… Now, come out… KYUBI!” After destroying the seal, the Kyubi gradually flowed out of Kushina's body, to appear in all of its horrifying might in the world.
”Excellent! Now it's time to face Konoha!”
”Wait… wait!” Kushina tried to stop the masked man
”The Uzumakis are really something; you're still alive even with your Biju extracted! You were the Kyubi's Jinchuriki, it's only fitting that I kill you with it!” As the masked man said those words, he controlled the Kyubi to stomp Kushina.
She was going to die, and all hope was gone, when Minato flickered in in time, saving her with the Flying Thunder God.
”You really do move like a flash, but you are late, like always!”
”Minato, Naruto… is Naruto safe?”
”Yeah, he's fine, don't worry!”
Kushina sighed with relief, and then said to Minato: ”Minato… You have to stop the masked man! He wants to control Kurama to destroy Konoha!”
Minato's face was heavy, but he just teleported with Kushina back home.
The masked man saw Minato teleporting away, and just turned around with the Kyubi, controlling it towards the village.
Minato put Kushina to Naruto's side, and said to comfort her: ”Don't worry about that, just stay by Naruto's side. I'll be right back!”
