Naruto: I'm Nine-Tails and My Host is Kushina-Chapter 78 : I’m responsible

Kurama, please allow me to atone for my sins."

Kushina stared at Kurama with wide eyes.

Atonement?

Here?

"There are still Konoha shinobi patrolling outside."

Unexpectedly, the leader smiled.

The smile was cunning.

"If there are people, wouldn't that make it more exciting?"

Kurama's face was covered in black lines.

He was convinced.

Kushina had been completely corrupted by him.

Now she was the one driving the train.

If Tobirama Senju were to take a train, he wouldn't do it unless Kushina was the captain.

Kushina started moving, and a rhythmic sound echoed in the room.

"We're not familiar with this place. Let's go home!"

Home?

Before Kushina could react, Kurama grabbed her small hand.

With a whoosh, the two of them vanished instantly.

The scene changed.

They appeared in the Land of Fire, inside the Hidden Leaf Village.

Kushina blinked and saw the familiar walls, the familiar ceiling, and the familiar bed.

They had returned home.

The room bore the markings of the Flying Thunder God technique.

"Ahh—"

Kushina stretched out, feeling the comfort of home.

"This is Lord Kurama's Flying Thunder God technique."

She had almost forgotten that Kurama could use this jutsu.

These past days had been spent on the frontlines, with little rest.

Kushina hadn't had a proper sleep in a long time.

Without hesitation, she threw herself onto the bed, rolling around and relishing the comfort.

"Ah, Kurama, thank you."

The surroundings were eerily silent, save for the distant chirping of crickets and frogs.

Even the croaking of frogs felt like a kind of peace.

Kurama smiled.

This was a good place for atonement.

This time, he didn't need to do anything.

Kushina, however, seemed unusually eager.

This was her journey of redemption, and she had to complete everything herself.

"Kurama, I'll take care of the movement, you just hold steady."

—

Meanwhile, at the Cloud Shinobi camp...

"Lord Raikage, Lord A, good news! Lord Killer B has woken up!"

"Huh?"

The Third Raikage and his son, A, were overjoyed at the news.

As expected of a perfect Jinchūriki.

Even after having the Eight-Tails extracted, Killer B had survived.

It turned out that the day Kurama had forcibly separated the Eight-Tails from him, he had simply turned and left.

But because Killer B was a perfect Jinchūriki, his deep bond with the Eight-Tails had already prepared for such an event.

Just in case, Gyūki had left behind enough chakra within Killer B to sustain his life.

Once Cloud Shinobi found him, they used their village's secret techniques to bring him back.

However, without the Eight-Tails, Killer B's strength was greatly diminished.

But his Seven Sword Style and Lightning Release techniques were still formidable.

Even without his Tailed Beast, there were fewer than five shinobi in the village who could defeat him.

After regaining consciousness, Killer B immediately told the Raikage and A everything about what had happened—how he suddenly disappeared from the battlefield, how the Nine-Tails had taken the Eight-Tails, and everything else he had seen.

Raikage and A were stunned.

They never imagined such a thing could happen.

The one who had taken the Eight-Tails wasn't an enemy shinobi but the Nine-Tails itself.

And what was even more shocking was that the Nine-Tails didn't just look like a beast.

"Lord Raikage, brother, Gyūki told me... the Nine-Tails is no longer the Nine-Tails we know."

B's words were serious, not in his usual rap.

Raikage and A listened carefully as Killer B revealed even more shocking information.

For instance—Nine-Tails had used the Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God technique.

Not only that, but it also possessed abilities from the Uzumaki Clan.

And, if that weren't enough, it even had the Sharingan.

Such a thing was unheard of.

Even the Third Raikage and A were in disbelief.

But Killer B was serious.

If anyone else had said such words, they would have dismissed it as nonsense.

Possessing the Sharingan.

Mastering the Second Hokage's time-space jutsu.

Holding the abilities of the Uzumaki Clan.

Was this really a Tailed Beast?

It was unbelievable.

A Tailed Beast with such abilities—who in the entire shinobi world could be its opponent?

After hearing Killer B's words, Raikage and A couldn't remain calm for a long time.

At that moment, A gave up any thoughts of avenging Killer B.

He wasn't a coward, but he knew this wasn't just a personal grudge.

If they acted recklessly, it could bring destruction upon the village.

And, Nine-Tails was currently within Konoha's camp.

From what Killer B described, neither the Third Raikage nor A believed the Nine-Tails was obediently serving Konoha. It must be plotting something.

What a cunning fox!

In the end, the Third Raikage made his decision.

They would not engage in further conflict with Konoha.

At the same time, he ordered a letter of surrender and an alliance treaty to be sent to Konoha.

The Land of Lightning was willing to offer compensation, cede land, and negotiate peace.

If the Third Hokage received this letter, his first reaction would be shock.

His second reaction would be to smile from ear to ear.

With Cloud Shinobi retreating from the war, their situation was still dire.

Because now, Iwagakure had deployed over 30,000 shinobi against them.

This time, Iwagakure was determined.

They vowed to wipe out the Third Raikage and what remained of the Cloud Shinobi.

Within the Cloud Shinobi camp, the Third Raikage knew he had no choice but to make a sacrifice.

He planned to stay behind and ensure his son A and Killer B could escape back to the Land of Lightning.

As long as they returned safely, Iwagakure's plans would be for nothing.

Before the Iwa shinobi could form a full encirclement, the Third Raikage had to hold the line and ensure their retreat.

—

The next day, Kushina and Kurama returned to the frontlines.

"Kurama, help me!"

Kushina had been active all night, and now her waist ached terribly.

She staggered as she walked.

If anyone saw her like this, it would be a disaster.

She shot a resentful glance at Kurama.

Her body was sore from exhaustion, and not even her Uzumaki Clan vitality could help.

She had to rely on Kurama's healing.

Kurama chuckled, letting his dark red chakra flow into her.

Moments later, the pain in her waist and legs faded.

Though the red marks on her knees wouldn't disappear immediately.

"Lord Kushina! We have an important battle report!"

A Konoha shinobi rushed in.

"Iwa's forces—tens of thousands strong—have nearly surrounded the Cloud Shinobi camp. The war is about to break out!"

Before, Konoha had been fighting both Iwa and Kumo.

Now, they could sit back and watch the two devour each other.

Kurama smirked.

Kushina knew that look.

"Kurama, do you want to go?"

"Heh, the one who understands me best is you, Kushina."
