  "Mikoto, you lost again."

  Kushina looked at the exhausted Mikoto.

  Kushina had won their spar. Mikoto was no match for her.

  Unless Mikoto awakehe Mangekyō Sharingan, she would always be at a disadvantage against Kushina in Taijutsu.

  But Mikoto's Sharingan was only at the two-tomoe stage. The Mangekyō Sharingan was still a distant goal.

  "I lost again..."

  Mikoto sighed. She had never won against Kushina, even in a spar. It was frustrating.

  "You're already very strong, Mikoto. Your strength is around Tokubetsu Jōnin level. In a year or two, you'll reach Jōnin level."

  Shin forted her.

  Jōnin was a level many Shinobi could never reach. Mikoto was already a genius.

  Of course, this was also due to her hard work and Shin's guidaalent alone wasn't enough.

  Two months passed. During this time, Shin and his team didn't go on any missions. Shin focused on developing Jutsu.

  Nothing major happehough Hiruzen did try to introduce his o Shin again.

  Hiruzen hadn't given up. But when Shin saw the girl, he ran away.

  She looked like a goril. He couldn't ha.

  Kushina and Mikoto chased her away before Shin could even say anything.

  "Something feels off in the vilge today."

  Shin, Kushina, and Mikoto were strolling through the vilge.

  They needed a break from training. But as they walked through the streets, Shin noticed something was amiss.

  Many Shinobi were hidden in the shadows. The entire vilge seemed to be on high alert.

  "What's wrong?" Kushina asked, fused.

  "'t you se? There are Shinobi hidden everywhere. Something big is about to happen."

  Shin had a bad feeling.

  But what could be sidered a big deal? A Kage-level invasion? No, no one below Sannin-level would dare invade Konoha. They'd be crushed.

  Konoha might not be at its peak, but it was still several times strohan it would be at the start of the main storyline.

  "It must be the ails."

  Shin's eyes narrowed. The only thing that could warrant such a high level of security was the stro of the Tailed Beasts, the Kyūbi.

  Perhaps the Jinchūriki transfer ceremony was about to begin.

  Shin didn't tell Kushina and Mikoto. There was no point in them knowing.

  After a rexing stroll through the vilge, they returned home in the evening.

  They had bought many high-quality ingredients. Mikoto had been experimenting with cooking tely. They were going to have a feast.

  <><><>

  In a hidden area behind the Hokage Rock, Hiruzen stood with a solemn expression.

  He wasn't wearing his Hokage robes. He was dressed in battle attire.

  The Hokage robes were a symbol, not practical for bat. He didn't expect a fight, but it was better to be prepared.

  Besides Hiruzen, there were also Anbu ae Jōnin. Konoha's stro forces were gathered here.

  Shin had guessed correctly. The ails transfer was about to take pce. They were going to seal the Kyuubi into Akiko.

  "Mito-sama, are you sure we should do this now? You still hold on for a while longer."

  Hiruzen said to Uzumaki Mito.

  Mito opened her eyes and shook her head.

  "We have to plete the transfer while I still suppress the Kyuubi. Otherwise, it will be a disaster."

  Hiruzen remained silent. He hadn't withe ails' power himself, but he had heard stories.

  The ails was the stro of the Tailed Beasts, its power surpassing that of the ht bined.

  If Hashirama Senju were still alive, they wouldn't o be so cautious. To Hashirama, the Kyuubi ractically a pet.

  He had treated the Tailed Beasts as pets, while Madara Uchiha had seen them as beasts.

  To them, the Tailed Beasts were nothing special.

  But to other Shinobi, the ails was a terrifying monster.

  "Akiko, are you ready?" Mito asked seriously.

  Akiko ched her fists and nodded. She couldn't deny she was nervous.

  "Akiko, the Kyuubi isn't ily evil. I hope you guide it to the right path," Mito said.

  "I will, Mito-sama."

  "Good. Let's begin."

  Mito didn't hesitate any longer. She formed hand seals and released the seal on her body. Crimson Chakra seeped out, and a malevolent aura filled the air.

  Hiruzen's expression turned grim. "Sealing Team, prepare!" he shouted.

  The ails' Chakra, even a small amount, was overwhelming.

  The Four Symbols Seal was released, and the Kyuubi emerged, its massive form t over the prepared Jōnin.

  Roar!

  The ails roared, its void Chakra shaking the entire vilge. Even Hiruze suffocated. What a monster!

  Shiing di home, sehe Kyuubi's Chakra and looked towards the mountain.

  "What's that?"

  Kushina and Mikoto asked, fused.

  The Chakra was so immehat even they could se. Most Shinobi in Konoha could.

  "It seems my guess was right. It's none of our business. Let's eat. This Co Chi is delicious."

  Shin held up a chi wing, uned about the ails transfer.

  Kushina and Mikoto, although curious, tinued eating.

  While they eheir dinner, Hiruzen anig. The Kyuubi was more ferocious than he had imagihe Sealing Team couldn't tain it.

  The Kyuubi lu the Konoha Shinobi, its fangs bared. It hated them with a passion.

  It had been living a carefree life, then Hashirama had captured it and sealed it away. Its rese was immense.

  "Adamantine Sealing s!"

  Several Chakra s erupted from Mito's back, binding the Kyuubi arig its movements.

  The Uzumaki had incredible life force. Ordinary Jinchūriki died the moment the Tailed Beast was extracted, but Mito was different. Her life force could sustain her for a while longer.
