　This ninjutsu is actually quite extraordinary. Besides possessing a unique physical body, the clone's training experience is directly fed back to the main body, creating a sense of shared power – it's practically a training cheat.

　Basically, every transmigrator uses the Shadow Clone Technique to give themselves an unfair advantage! Therefore, the Shadow Clone Technique is recorded in the sealing techniques and is even listed as a forbidden technique! Although it's a forbidden technique, many ninjas know it! Other ninja villages follow suit, using techniques like Earth Clone and Water Clone, all based on similar principles.

　"Grandpa Hokage, she's Grandma Mizuno!"

　Kushina said

　"There's nothing we can do. The tailed beast has backfired on its jinchūriki, and Mito-senpai has lost consciousness."

　If we don't subdue her now, the consequences will be unimaginable.

　Kushina, you should leave here right now.

　As Hokage, protecting the village is my responsibility, and I will do it even if it costs me my life.

　The Third Hokage spoke with a grave expression, feeling immense pressure emanating from Mito Uzumaki. The Nine-Tails was indeed terrifying, but if the situation became irreversible, then he would have to use that technique.

　Using that technique would mean his own demise! But for the sake of the village and sealing the Nine-Tails, he had no other choice! "Ninja Art: Shuriken Shadow Body Technique!"

　Two shadow clones simultaneously hurled enormous shuriken, which sliced ​​through the night sky, splitting in two, then into four, then eight, and in the blink of an eye, became countless, an endless storm of shuriken! On a battlefield, the sheer scale of this attack would be enough to deal with hundreds or even thousands of ninjas! However, the Nine-Tails, now in control, wore a disdainful expression, roared loudly, and stretched out an arm. Crimson chakra transformed into a gigantic arm, which swung towards the void! A massive shockwave suddenly struck! The illusory chakra energy arm slammed into the shuriken clone, shattering it! The aftershocks continued, crashing towards the Third Hokage! Hiruzen Sarutobi, seeing such a devastating attack, dared not take it head-on and immediately retreated! But this mere arm, replenished with chakra, continued to extend, flying through the air and traversing the earth, pursuing from all sorts of bizarre angles, leaving nothing but a bulldozer in its wake, utterly destroying everything in its path.

　Even Jonin wouldn't dare to take this head-on; such power transcends the realm of ordinary ninjas! "Uzumaki Mito"

　Dozens more energy arms burst forth from behind, leaping forward like a chaotic dance of demons, their attacks overwhelming and dazzling.

　Even Hiruzen Sarutobi

　They could only desperately dodge! "Fire Release: Burn the Ashes!"

　Water Release: Great Waterfall!

　Two shadow clones simultaneously unleashed a combined water and fire ninjutsu! The Ash Pile Burning technique merged with the great waterfall, similar to a chemical reaction between lime and water, rapidly transforming into cement! Centered on Mito Uzumaki, the surrounding land was solidified by this cement! "Earth Release: Swamp Annihilation Technique!"

　(1/2)

　Hiruzen Sarutobi's true form once again unleashed an Earth Release ninjutsu! The earth trembled and shook, and a swamp of mud slowly engulfed Mito Uzumaki's feet! Cement was then applied, attempting to imprison and seal the Nine-Tails! But before absolute power, these ninjutsu were utterly ineffective! Mito Uzumaki unleashed the power of the Nine-Tails, transforming into a tailed beast, becoming a crimson humanoid monster. Her nine tails slammed into the ground, the immense force rebounding and flinging her out of the swamp.

　Although the tailed beast form manifests as nine tails, the Nine-Tails hasn't fully taken control of Mito Uzumaki's body yet, so its true power isn't being released—only a portion of it! The nine tails are also in a semi-illusory state, not fully formed! Hiruzen Sarutobi anticipated his ninjutsu wouldn't cause the Nine-Tails much trouble, but he hadn't expected it to break free so easily.

　But that's alright, it bought him time for his next ninjutsu! He bit his right thumb, drew a hand seal on his left palm, and then slammed his hand down on the ground! "Summoning Jutsu!"

　"Ape Demon!"

　Centered on his palm, the ground was covered with dense black runes, spreading out in a cross shape! A white mist materialized in the void, and a monkey, about four or five meters tall, appeared out of thin air! This was a giant ape, wearing a patterned tiger skin, and much larger than any known monkey.

　It doesn't look particularly kind; in fact, it's quite menacing, with a humanoid form. Crucially, it wears a Konoha headband, has silver-white hair, and exudes an imposing aura—like a mafia boss! This is Enma, the summoning beast that formed a contract with the Third Hokage, the Sarutobi clan. It possesses an indestructible body, can transform into the Vajra Staff, and can switch forms as needed during battle, allowing it to perform hand seals and ninjutsu.

　Initially, Orochimaru claimed that Enma was the strongest summoning beast! "Sarutobi, why did you summon me?"

　The ape demon, without understanding the situation, spoke directly.

　"The Jinchūriki is in trouble, I need your help!"

　Hiruzen Sarutobi said directly

　"Jinchūriki! Nine-Tails!"

　Enma was startled, sensing the astonishing chakra emanating from Mito Uzumaki, and his bestial instincts threatened him greatly.

　"Transforming into the form of the Golden Cudgel, what follows may be a fierce battle, Ape Demon."

　Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke of Enma decisively, transforming it into a black iron rod without a word! This black iron rod must possess immense strength, capable of splitting gold and shattering rocks, even capable of splitting mountains and cleaving seas! From the original work, during the Nine-Tails' rampage...

　The sheer power of Hiruzen Sarutobi's staff, which sent the Nine-Tails' true form flying out of Konoha, is evident.

　"Get on!"

　Hiruzen Sarutobi whispered something, then charged towards Mito Uzumaki, who had transformed into her tailed beast form, carrying his golden cudgel.

Chapter 316 Hashirama Senju's Contingency Plan

　This content is being published for the first time (first update).

　"Get on!"

　With the Monkey King's staff in hand, Hiruzen Sarutobi's strength suddenly increased.

　The Ape Demon itself is said to be indestructible, invincible, and capable of breaking all laws with sheer force.

　Combined with Hiruzen Sarutobi, the… Professor of Ninjutsu, the power would be… more than just one plus one equals two.

　Hiruzen Sarutobi's strength is definitely among the top three in the Kage level. His mastery of the Reaper Death Seal is already formidable, and when combined with his summoning beast Enma, his combat prowess is off the charts! While the Sannin's summoning beasts come from the three great holy lands and are quite powerful, Enma is undoubtedly the strongest in terms of its own power. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been considered the strongest summoning beast in the early stages.

　Hiruzen Sarutobi, wielding his golden staff, swept it towards Mito Uzumaki, who had transformed into her tailed beast form. The staff left trails of shadows in the air, like autumn leaves swept away by the wind, powerful and awe-inspiring! However, he was facing the Nine-Tails. The Nine-Tails' chakra manifested from its body, splitting into two energy-formed monsters, their appearance bizarre, like mad huskies baring their fangs and claws, charging and grabbing at him.

　The ability to split is rare, especially among tailed beasts.

　However, the leader of the Tailed Beasts, the original form—the Ten-Tails—possesses the ability to split itself.

　During the Fourth Shinobi World War, facing the Allied Shinobi Forces, the Ten-Tails' true form, the Gedo Mazo, was resurrected. It split into many individual forms from its main body to attack the shinobi, each possessing immense power and a variety of incredible abilities.

　Now, Kurama is using a similar ability, but it's more likely to be chakra energy! *Boom! Boom!* Hiruzen Sarutobi's Monkey King Bar becomes a blur, striking one Kurama split off with each blow, sending it flying.

　These split entities rolled all over the ground, but immediately got up as if they were unharmed, and became even more ferocious! "Water Grandma!"

　Behind them, Kushina witnessed this scene and hated herself for not having the strength to protect her loved ones.

　Hiruzen Sarutobi was also thoroughly overwhelmed by these split forms! These were inhuman monsters with limitless stamina, and the damage inflicted by his golden cudgel was quite limited.

　If it were an ordinary ninja, Hiruzen Sarutobi believed he could smash someone's head open with a single blow, but now he was powerless to do so.

　Moreover, this wasn't even the Nine-Tails at its peak; the seal on Mito Uzumaki's body still existed, only the Nine-Tails had taken control of that body.

　Suddenly, these split entities stopped moving and became motionless.

　Taking advantage of the opportunity, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately retreated, leaving the encirclement! "You wretched woman!"

　The Nine-Tails muttered to itself, "Mito Uzumaki's consciousness has begun to resist and vie for control, attempting to seal it away once more."

　The crimson chakra receded like a tide, only to surge forth in an even more ferocious manner in the next moment! "That girl is the vessel, and I, the great one, will destroy this vessel now and see what you use to seal her!"

　Once all life force has vanished from your body, I will naturally be free. This time, I've won!

　The Nine-Tails stared intently at Kushina, its gaze burning with a savage aura.

　Mito Uzumaki, in her tailed beast form, vanished instantly, leaving a crimson afterimage in the air! "Watch out, Kushina! It's coming for you!"

　Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted loudly, preparing to rescue him, and in an instant, they surrounded him.

　"go to hell!"

　The Nine-Tails revealed a ferocious smile.

　"Sealing Chains!"

　Kushina is no ordinary girl, nor is she just a pretty face; she has been learning sealing techniques from her grandmother for the past three years.

　His own strength was already close to that of a Jonin, and coupled with the special physique of the Uzumaki clan and his enormous chakra, he was considered an extremely excellent ninja.

　Her grandmother's misfortune filled her with sorrow and self-blame, but she wouldn't let her grandmother down! She would fulfill her grandmother's wish. At the last moment, she acted, bearing the name of the Uzumaki, risking the title of future female Hokage, determined to seal the Nine-Tails.

　The sound of chains being pulled echoed in the air, and a golden light shone brightly behind Kushina, illuminating the darkness.

　Golden chains, like the laws of order, descended from the sky, coiling towards the Nine-Tails like silver snakes under Kushina's control! The Uzumaki clan's chakra, like Wood Release, possessed the power to suppress the chakra of tailed beasts.

　In addition, with the powerful sealing technique of the sealing chains, most tailed beasts would have absolutely no power to resist.

　However, even against the Nine-Tails, the sealing technique was merely a restraint! Kushina Uzumaki's sealing jutsu was far less powerful than Mito Uzumaki's, and without Mito's help, the chances of sealing the Nine-Tails were extremely low.

　"Sealing Technique: Myōjinmon"

　Kushina Uzumaki took out a scroll, which her grandmother had given her before the sealing, and which contained sealing techniques to seal the tailed beasts.

　The scroll's seal was broken, transforming into a thick cloud of white smoke! Wooden doors descended from the sky, binding Mito Uzumaki in her tailed beast form! The Myōjinmon technique is a sealing jutsu unique to Wood Release, usable only by Wood Release ninjas! Kushina, lacking Wood Release, couldn't use it; she could only summon it through a scroll! This jutsu didn't originally belong to Mito Uzumaki; rather, it was a preventative measure taken by the First Hokage before his departure, knowing that the Nine-Tails might one day rampage without his control. He stored the Myōjinmon formula in a sealing scroll so that it could be used should the Nine-Tails ever go berserk.

　Mito Uzumaki was able to suppress the Nine-Tails and use the Myōjinmon sealing technique because Hashirama had left Wood Release chakra within her body.

　Just like how Minato Namikaze left his chakra spirit in Naruto's body in the original story! "Hashirama!"

　Sensing the familiar Wood Release, Myōjinmon! The Nine-Tails roared madly, remembering the terror of being dominated by Wood Release in the past! It hadn't expected that this man, even in death, would leave behind a contingency plan! In the distance, Hiruzen Sarutobi, seeing this, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

　"Seale the space! Give up, Nine-Tails!"

　With the suppression of the Myojin Gate, Mito Uzumaki gradually regained control of her body, hoping to persuade Kurama to submit.

　"What a ridiculous woman!"

　"Let's see what happens when you're locked up in a dark place for decades!"

　The Nine-Tailed Fox sneered, and then unleashed its full power, annihilating the woman before it.

　Outside! An even more ferocious Nine-Tails power erupted, roaring, "You're not Hashirama Senju, how can you possibly trap me!"

　As soon as he finished speaking, the nine tails behind him instantly solidified.

　Crack! Cracks appeared on the surface of the Myojin Gate, making it look like it was about to shatter! The sealing chains were also broken! "After so much time, the chakra left by Hashirama has long since weakened! Foolish humans!"

　Nine-Tails controlled one of its tails, transforming it into a crimson python, like an iron whip, slashing towards Kushina! The change was too fast, too fast for anyone to react! Clang! At that moment, a cold, sharp blade of light flashed, as if tearing through the darkness, appearing suddenly.
