Chapter 97 The Nine-Tailed Fox's Dropped Trait: Malice Perception! (First and Second Updates)
Kiyoyu could also understand Tsunade's urgency.
With the Land of Whirlpools destroyed, Konoha failed to offer timely assistance, which Tsunade must have felt somewhat regretful about.
Being able to save one of the orphans from the vortex now can somewhat make up for the regrets of the past.
The three walked through several streets and arrived at a small building.
Tsunade raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"Here it comes!"
Footsteps came from inside the door, and then the door was pulled open from the inside, revealing Kushina Uzumaki's energetic face.
She first saw Tsunade, and a smile immediately appeared on her face. Just as she was about to greet her, her gaze suddenly fell on Uzumaki Karin, who was behind Tsunade and Kiyoha.
That head of long red hair was really eye-catching.
Kushina paused for a moment, her eyes widening slightly.
"Tsunade, this is—"
"Let's go inside and talk."
Tsunade patted Kushina on the shoulder, gesturing for her to move aside in the doorway.
Kushina quickly stepped aside to let the three of them into the room, but her eyes never left Karin Uzumaki.
Although her perception ability was not at the top level, as a fellow Uzumaki clan member, she could somewhat sense the familiar chakra aura emanating from Uzumaki Karin.
The living room was spotless, with a half-finished cup of tea and a plate of rice crackers on the coffee table.
"Lady Kushina, this is Karin Uzumaki, also one of your clansmen."
After Kiyoyu and Kushina closed the door, they began to introduce themselves.
Thinking of this, Qingyu added, "If you think about it carefully, we're all relatives."
As he said this, he quickly went through the blood relations between these people.
Karin Uzumaki is an orphan of the Uzumaki clan, Kushina is also a member of the Uzumaki clan, and Tsunade's grandmother, Mito Uzumaki, was also from the Uzumaki clan.
Qingyu herself has the blood of the Senju clan, and the Senju and Uzumaki clans are distant relatives who have been linked by marriage for generations.
After all this, today's gathering really was a "family gathering".
The blood flowing in everyone's veins can all be connected.
"relative?"
Kushina blinked, then realized what she meant.
"That's true, the Senju and Uzumaki families are family after all."
As she spoke, she approached Karin Uzumaki, her gaze lingering on Karin's haggard face for a moment before her smile faded slightly.
"Karin—right? You don't look well. Did you get tired on the way?"
Uzumaki Karin hadn't said a word since entering the room; she simply stood quietly beside Tsunade, her head bowed.
Hearing Kushina's question, she looked up, as if she wanted to say something, but didn't know where to begin.
Tsunade's expression darkened.
"Qingyu, you tell us."
Qingyu nodded and recounted in detail how they discovered Uzumaki Karin at the Grass Country's outpost.
This includes the fact that Kusagakure Village secretly established a base on the border, as well as the inhumane treatment that Uzumaki Karin suffered.
Kushina's expression changed.
When Qingyu mentioned that Uzumaki Karin was used as a blood pack by the Kusagakure ninja, Kushina slammed her hand on the coffee table.
boom!
The teacup on the coffee table bounced, spilling a few drops of tea onto the surface.
"Those Kusagakure ninjas—that's outrageous!!"
Kushina's voice was filled with barely suppressed anger, and her long red hair began to move without wind due to the intense fluctuations in her emotions.
Karin was startled by her reaction and instinctively shrank closer to Tsunade.
Tsunade quickly reached out and pressed down on Kushina's shoulder.
"Calm down, Kushina. Karin has been saved. Getting angry now will only scare her."
"But----"
Kushina opened her mouth, as if to say something, but suddenly sensed something.
Qingyu also sensed that something was wrong.
A cold, heavy chakra, imbued with intense malice, was seeping from Kushina's body.
The Nine-Tails' chakra slowly seeped out from Kushina's skin.
Tsunade's expression instantly turned serious.
"Nine-tailed?"
Qingyu also subconsciously took a half step back, her hand already touching the hilt of the Thor's Sword at her waist.
No way, Kushina won't go berserk at this moment, will she?
Isn't there a sealing barrier from the Uzumaki clan here?
The spiritual space within Kushina's body.
It was a huge cage, with a thin layer of water on the ground.
Deep within the cage, a pair of scarlet vertical pupils lit up.
The nine-tailed creature lay in the cage, its enormous body almost filling half of the space. Its nine tails swayed slowly behind it, creating gusts of dull wind.
His mouth split open, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs.
That red-haired girl is angry again.
Moreover, this time the anger was just as intense as when Minato Namikaze was injured.
Last time, he successfully leaked some of his chakra when Kushina was emotionally unstable. Although it was eventually suppressed, Kurama still saw an opportunity.
As long as there is a flaw, he can gradually erode the seal.
And now, that opportunity has come again.
"Hmph, let me out, and I can lend you my power to crush those ants who dare to offend the Uzumaki clan."
The Nine-Tailed Fox's voice came from deep within the cage, a voice full of allure.
He knew very well that anger was the most easily manipulated emotion.
When a person is angry, reason is overwhelmed by emotion, and the cracks in the seal widen.
As long as Kushina accepts its chakra, it has a way to gradually regain the initiative.
Crimson chakra surged from the cracks, seeping outwards from the sealed space.
Come, accept my power!
Then for me—
"Diamond Lockdown!"
A sharp shout rang out in the sealed space.
Dozens of golden chains shot out from the sealed space.
The chains coiled around the Nine-Tails with lightning speed, so fast that even the Nine-Tails couldn't react in time.
Click!
Chains bound the nine-tailed fox's limbs and tail, tightly binding it in the cage.
Several chains were wrapped around the Nine-Tails' neck, fixing its enormous head firmly in place, preventing it from even turning its head.
The crimson chakra that had just surged out was forcibly suppressed the moment the golden chains appeared, leaving not a trace.
The Nine-Tails' smile froze on its face.
"Wh-what?!"
When did this red-haired girl become so skilled?
Last time, we could have easily found a loophole!
Kushina appeared in the sealed space, standing barefoot on the water, her long red hair flying behind her.
Two thick golden chains shot out from her palms, connecting the Nine-Tails' chest and forehead.
Kushina's face was full of anger.
"You filthy fox!"
Kushina tugged hard on the chain, causing the Nine-Tails' entire body to lurch forward, its massive head slamming into the cage bars.
"You heard what Karin said, right? How those bastards from Kusagakure treated us Uzumaki clan members. You still want to cause trouble while I'm angry?"
Do you think you're very smart?
The Nine-Tails was almost unable to breathe due to the chains binding it.
He doesn't know if he's just had bad luck in recent decades.
After being captured by Madara Uchiha and used as a summoning beast, he was suppressed by Hashirama Senju, and then by Mito Uzumaki.
He finally waited until Mito grew old, only to be stuffed back into Kushina's body and continue to be suppressed by her.
So, the Nine-Tailed Fox Empire will be passed down through generations, right?
"The Uzumaki clan—ha, they've already been wiped out, and you still—"
"Shut up!"
Kushina tightened her grip, and the chakra on the chains surged.
The Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques are inherently very effective against tailed beasts, and Kushina's unique chakra made her one of the most powerful members of the Uzumaki clan throughout history.
Nine-Tails immediately became obedient, letting out a muffled groan as it was being strangled, and swallowed the rest of its sentence.
His vertical pupils were filled with humiliation and resentment, yet he was helpless.
No matter how much chakra it has, it can't exert any strength against this sealing technique.
"If you don't behave, I'll punish you!"
Kushina's beautiful face showed an angry expression.
"----snort."
Nine-Tails let out a cold snort from its nose, closed its eyes, and stopped struggling.
Those who understand the times are wise foxes.
There's no need to go head-to-head with a human.
Seeing that Kurama had behaved itself, Kushina withdrew the chains, turned around, and disappeared into the sealed space.
Kurama opened one eye, looked in the direction where Kushina had disappeared, and gritted its teeth inwardly.
From then on, in addition to the Uchiha and Senju, Kurama also came to hate Uzumaki!
The real world.
The crimson chakra that had just seeped out from Kushina's body receded at a visible speed, as if it had been fiercely pulled back into her body by something.
In just a few breaths, the oppressive, malicious chakra in the living room dissipated completely.
Qingyu loosened her grip on the sword hilt slightly.
Tsunade also let out a long breath, her tense shoulders relaxing.
Kushina opened her eyes, scratched the back of her head, and a slightly embarrassed smile appeared on her face.
"Sorry, sorry. That Nine-Tails was a bit naughty just now. I've already disciplined it. It's alright now."
[Collectible trait detected: Malicious perception]
[Tier C Trait: Malice Detection]
[Effect: Possesses a keen sensitivity to malice, able to sense the malice within the hearts of all living beings.]
[Synthesis: Learning an advanced sensory ninjutsu will upgrade this trait to a higher level.]
Qingyu looked at the words that appeared before her eyes and immediately understood.
This trait undoubtedly came from the Nine-Tails.
Among the nine tailed beasts, the Nine-Tails has the most acute perception of malice and possesses a recognition ability far exceeding that of ordinary people.
In the original story, after Naruto mastered the "Nine-Tails Chakra Mode," he was able to see through the White Zetsu disguised as the Allied Shinobi Forces at a glance, precisely because he inherited this ability.
Now, this ability has appeared in Qingyu in the form of a special trait.
Malicious perception————
Qingyu pondered the value of this trait in her heart.
With this ability, White Zetsu's "transformation techniques" will be completely ineffective against him.
Any creature that harbors malice, no matter how deeply it is hidden, can be sensed.
More importantly, this trait has a broad definition of malice itself, not just direct hostility such as "wanting to kill someone", but also hidden malice such as "wanting to exploit", "wanting to deceive", "wanting to betray", etc.
This ability will be of great use in the upcoming Third Shinobi World War.
Qingyu closed the trait panel and refocused her attention on what was in front of her.
Tsunade walked over to Kushina and quickly scanned her with chakra. Only after confirming that the Nine-Tails' chakra had been completely contained did she truly feel relieved.
"You scared me, you little rascal!"
Tsunade flicked Kushina's forehead.
"pain!"
Kushina covered her forehead, looking at Tsunade with a pitiful expression.
Tsunade ignored her, turned around, pulled Karin Uzumaki in front of her, and pushed her in front of Kushina.
"Alright, you two are both from the Uzumaki clan, so get along well from now on. Karin was just rescued from Kusagakure, and she's still very weak and needs time to recover."
Kushina put away her aggrieved expression and carefully examined Uzumaki Karin.
The red-haired woman in front of her was shorter than her, thin, pale, and her wrists, which were exposed outside her sleeves, were so thin that you could see the blue veins.
But that deep red hair was indeed exactly the same as that of the Uzumaki clan.
Kushina reached out and grasped Karin Uzumaki's hands.
Kushina's eyes felt slightly warm.
"Karin, from today onwards this is your home. We are all Uzumaki clan members. If you need anything in the future, just tell me. Whether it's food, clothing, or anything else, I will take care of it for you."
"If those bastards who bullied you dare to show their faces in front of you again, I'll be the first to make them pay."
Her voice was like a fire in winter, warmly burning into people's hearts.
Uzumaki Karin looked at Kushina, who was smiling brightly in front of her, and at her hair, which was the same color as her own. Her throat felt like it was blocked by something.
"Thanks."
Uzumaki Karin felt that everything had gotten better for her since she met Qingyu and the others.
The world has changed from gray to warm colors.
Tears welled up in her eyes and slid down her thin cheeks.
Kushina quickly stepped forward, embraced her, and gently patted her back.
Tsunade stood to the side, watching this scene, a slight smile playing on her lips.
She turned her head to look at Qingyu, only to find that the little brat's expression was somewhat dazed, as if he was thinking about something else.
Tsunade waved her hand in front of Kiyoyu.
"What are you spacing out for?"
"It's nothing, I just found this scene very touching."
Qingyu snapped out of her daze and casually replied.
Tsunade didn't pay attention and turned to Kushina.
"Kushina, Karin's health still needs regular checkups. Let me tell you some things to keep in mind."
"Alright, Lady Tsunade, please speak."
Kushina let go of Kaori, wiping away her tears while listening attentively.
"It's not a big problem. The main issue is that you consumed too much chakra in the past. You'll recover after a period of rest. But during this time, you should pay attention to replenishing your nutrition, eat more high-protein foods, and take some medicine to nourish your blood and qi."
Tsunade paused suddenly at this point.
"By the way, I'm a little worried about having you cook."
"Ah, Lady Tsunade, what do you mean by that?!"
Kushina's eyes widened immediately.
"I'm quite good at cooking; even Minato said it's delicious!"
"Even if you fed Minato tree bark, he would say it was delicious."
Tsunade mercilessly exposed Kushina's deception, then patted Kiyoyu on the shoulder.
"Qingyu is a good cook. I'll have him come over and cook a few meals for you later, and he can also teach you how to make soup. He really knows how to make fish soup."
Hearing that her name had been called, Qingyu could only nod helplessly.
"Okay, I'll come over later."
Kushina didn't seem to care about Tsunade's comments and enthusiastically took Karin's hand.
"Karin, what was your favorite food back in the Land of Whirlpools? I'll take you there. There's so much delicious food in Konoha—grilled meat, ramen, dumplings, sukiyaki—I'll eat whatever you want!"
Infected by her enthusiasm, Uzumaki Karin finally showed her first smile of the day.
"I—I like to eat sweets—"
"Sweet? That makes things even easier. There's a dumpling shop in Konoha that's super delicious. I'll take you there when you feel a bit better."
Kushina became more and more excited as she talked, and she started counting on her fingers to plan her future schedule.
