Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 156 The Darkness Hidden in the Shadows
After learning from Hei Zetsu that Bai Ye had arrived in Konoha, Obito's face suddenly changed.

Although Bai Ye was also an executor of the Moon Eye Project, he was superior to Minato Namikaze in every way. Not only could he see through his space-time ninjutsu like Minato Namikaze, but he was also better at strategy.

This time, he finally worked out a plan to weaken Konoha and spent several hours preparing for it, but he didn't expect to be defeated by his former teacher at the critical moment and have the credit taken away by Byakuya.

This was unacceptable to Obito, who was always fragile and sensitive, and his body, which had finally healed, was torn apart again.

Seeing Obito showing such an embarrassing side, Black Zetsu shook his head secretly in his heart. Compared with Byakuya, Obito was too immature. He didn't know why Uchiha Madara fell in love with Obito.

Thinking of this, Black Zetsu looked towards the location of the Nine-Tails and began to look forward to Bai Ye's return with good news.

……

In the dark forest, Bai Ye was watching a battle between two shadow-level warriors.

The two sides in the battle were Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki and the Nine-Tails that had broken free from the control of the Sharingan. They fought a life-and-death battle in this narrow space.

To be honest, the battle between the Yondaime couple and the Nine-tailed Demon Fox was not very exciting.

As the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze is very powerful, but after transferring the Tailed Beast Ball and fighting the masked man Obito, he doesn't have much chakra left.

Uzumaki Kushina had just given birth and was in an extremely weak state.

Although the Nine-Tails is the strongest tailed beast, it has just been controlled by the Sharingan and has fought a fierce battle with the Konoha ninja, and is in a situation of insufficient chakra.

It can be said that both sides are now out of ammunition and food and may collapse at any time.

However, it is precisely at moments like this that amazing willpower and fighting wisdom can be unleashed, and Bai Ye will naturally not miss such a wonderful performance.

After dodging the Nine-Tails' claws, Kushina released the remaining chakra in her body.

Eight golden chains tens of meters long suddenly stretched out from behind him. After the chains crossed, they locked the Nine-Tailed Fox firmly to the ground, making it very difficult for it to move.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Minato Namikaze quickly summoned Gamabuntai.

Toad Wentai sat on the Nine-Tailed Fox, then drew out the more than ten-meter-long "dagger" from his waist, stabbed it towards the Nine-Tailed Fox's body, and directly pierced the Nine-Tailed Fox's body.

Seeing this scene, Bai Ye couldn't help but secretly admire the Uzumaki clan's powerful physique. Even on the brink of life and death, they were able to burst out with the power to temporarily suppress the tailed beasts.

The big toad in Myoboku Mountain should not be underestimated either.

Although this toad named Gamabuntai is not as powerful as the tailed beasts, there are three such powerful toads in Myoboku Mountain.

With the addition of the unfathomable Toad Sage, Myoboku Mountain can be said to have strength comparable to that of the Ninja Village.

It is easy to suppress the Nine-Tails temporarily, but it is not an easy task to defeat it completely. The most powerful feature of the tailed beast is not its destructive power, but its terrifying recovery ability.

While Bai Ye was thinking secretly, the Nine-Tailed Fox also launched its own counterattack.

With its head lowered and chakra gathered, the Nine-Tails began to condense the Tailed Beast Ball in its mouth. It intended to blast the Tailed Beast Ball onto the ground in order to break free from Kushina's sealing technique.

The life of the tailed beasts is endless, and even if they die temporarily, they can be resurrected over time.

Sensing the terrifying fluctuations on the Tailed Beast Ball, Gammon Tai swung his sword to slash at the Tailed Beast Ball, and a mushroom cloud bloomed directly between the two giant beasts. The violent explosion even caused the space to tremble slightly. After the explosion, half of the Nine-Tails' face was blown off, and Gammon Tai was directly teleported back to Myoboku Mountain.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina were like leaves in a rainstorm, blown dozens of meters away by the shock wave, with blood flowing from their mouths.

Looking at the Nine-Tails that was recovering rapidly in the distance, Namikaze Minato glanced at Kushina and said seriously: "Kushina, it seems that none of us can survive today."

Kushina was stunned and asked in confusion:
"Why? You can use Flying Thunder God to escape. There's no need to die with me. Besides, after the Jinchūriki is extracted from the tailed beast, he won't live long anyway."

Namikaze Minato shook his head slightly, chuckled and said: "Kushina, I can't watch you die, and I can't let the Nine-Tails leave Konoha..."

After a pause, Namikaze Minato continued:

"I plan to use the Shikigami Sealing Technique to seal the Nine-Tails into Naruto's body."

Hearing this, Kushina froze in place, looked at Naruto who was crying in the cradle beside her, and said, "What about Naruto? He has already lost his mother, he can't lose his father again."

"I believe Naruto can take care of himself, and I also believe in Konoha, which we protect with our lives..."

Namikaze Minato forced a smile, then took out the mask of the god of death, and after quickly forming seals with his hands, he completed the seal of the Demon Sealing.

The shadow of the god of death appeared behind Minato Namikaze and opened his tightly closed eyes.

After seeing Minato Namikaze perform the Demonic Seal, Kushina sighed in her heart. Since Minato had made the decision, as a wife, she could only support her husband's decision and use her last life force to restrict the Nine-Tails' actions.

As if sensing the horror of the Shikigami Sealing, a look of fear appeared on the Nine-Tailed Fox's ferocious face.

It doesn't want to be locked in the body of a Jinchūriki anymore, nor can it face two sullen-looking women for decades. As a tailed beast, it has the right to roam freely on this land.

Kushina noticed Kyuubi's panicked expression and said with a smile: "Kyuubi, I'm sorry I can't stay with you any longer, but my son will still stay with you."

The Nine-Tailed Fox struggled to resist the Demonic Seal while growling and cursing.

However, the strength of the seal of the Shikigami Seal exceeded the Nine-Tails' imagination. Under the effect of the Shikigami Seal, the Nine-Tails was quickly cut into two halves, one half was sealed into Naruto's body, and the other half was swallowed by the God of Death.

After completing all this, Minato Namikaze had burned out all his life force.

Before his soul was about to be taken away by the God of Death, he looked at Kushina, cut off part of Kushina's chakra, and sealed it in his own body.

The reason why he used the Shikigami Sealing Technique was not only to protect the Nine-Tails for Konoha, but also to preserve Kushina's chakra so that Kushina could see Naruto grow up one day.

Walking to Naruto's side with difficulty, looking at the baby Naruto, Minato Namikaze said with a complicated expression:

"I really want to see you grow up, but unfortunately your father is an incompetent man. Since you have chosen to become the Hokage, you must naturally shoulder the responsibility of the Hokage."

At this moment, an untimely voice sounded from Minato Namikaze's ears:

"Fourth Hokage, you are indeed an incompetent Hokage, so incompetent that you can't even see the true face of Konoha. Do you really think Konoha will settle Naruto?"
