Night Light was terrified.
If he didn't do something, the Senju Clan was on the verge of extinction.
In the original story, the extinction of the Senju Clan was real, leaving only the disabled and elderly in their Senju Clan Grounds; the Senju Clan couldn't even defend their ancestral home.
Furthermore, with this method of the Senju Clan's extinction, other Ninja Clans couldn't say anything, and even Tsunade couldn't say that the Village's higher-ups were wrong.
Danzo had always wanted the Anbu to complete the Nine-Tailed sealing, but the Senju Clan insisted on independently sealing the Nine-Tailed.
The extinction of the Senju Clan was something Night Light didn't want to see.
So, what could he do?
The Nine-Tailed roared painfully at the sky.
Its head, shoulders, and forelimbs were still those of a normal, massive beast.
But from its chest downwards, it rapidly shrunk, like a funnel, until it connected to Vortex Kushina's frail back.
Forcibly stuffing the Nine-Tailed into a human-sized container, the Nine-Tailed's howl was filled with rage.
The Nine-Tailed's waist seemed to be constricted by a rope to only a dozen centimeters thick; for a beast tens of meters tall, it was too painful.
The Nine-Tailed lowered its head, its claws suddenly striking at Vortex Kushina below it.
Senju Rinmu's wife presided over the joint sealing jutsu, while Senju Rinmu blocked in front of Kushina.
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears!"
A tall stone wall blocked the Nine-Tailed's claws.
Stones flew everywhere, some even hitting Vortex Kushina.
Night Light breathed a sigh of relief; it was blocked, Senju Rinmu's Earth Release skill was very high.
The Senju joint sealing jutsu exerted force again, all Senju Ninja squeezing their Chakra.
Sealing curse marks climbed onto the Nine-Tailed's body, its movements occasionally slowing and stiffening for an instant; each time it swung its forelimbs, it used all its strength.
The Nine-Tailed swung its claws, striking a row of Senju Ninja.
With one swipe, over thirty Senju Ninja were killed.
Seeing the Senju Ninja die, the sealing curse marks on its body loosened a bit, so the Nine-Tailed continued to strike the Senju Ninja with its claws.
In just a short minute or two, over a hundred Senju Ninja died under the Nine-Tailed's claws.
The Nine-Tailed howled at the moon, seemingly finding the use of claws too inefficient, and a Tailed Beast Ball reappeared in its mouth.
Vortex Kushina struggled to look up, muttering, "I must not let it... release that jutsu..."
Two Adamantine Chains shot out from her back, locking the Nine-Tailed's throat.
The Nine-Tailed's head tilted slightly, the Tailed Beast Ball failed to hit the Senju Ninja below, flying into the distance and exploding there.
The Nine-Tailed had too much Chakra; one failure, and it immediately condensed a second Tailed Beast Ball.
Vortex Kushina was momentarily exhausted, only able to watch helplessly as the Tailed Beast Ball shot towards the lower side.
In the terrifying explosion and rising mushroom cloud, over three hundred Senju Ninja were instantly vaporized!
The earth trembled.
Every time the Nine-Tailed struck the ground, it brought an earthquake-like impact.
Dozens more Senju Ninja were crushed into meat paste.
The Senju Ninja's faces held panic, fear, and tears, yet no one retreated.
Among the dead were their fathers, their mothers, their sons and daughters, their cousins, their childhood friends.
Everyone held their positions, squeezing Chakra, restraining the Nine-Tailed with the joint sealing jutsu.
The Nine-Tailed slowly shrunk, gradually being pulled into Kushina's body.
After Uzumaki Mito's death, more than half of the Senju Ninja had already died or been injured.
The joint sealing jutsu marks on the Nine-Tailed's body became fewer and fewer.
After Hiruzen Sarutobi had smashed the forest into a mess with his Adamantine Staff, he leaned on the staff and watched the sealing.
Seeing the sealing become increasingly difficult, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally raised his hand, then slowly waved it, issuing the attack command.
Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi had other ideas, he didn't dare to go too far, otherwise, if the Nine-Tailed completely rampaged, it would be troublesome.
The four ANBU Squads saw the Hokage's gesture and quickly led their teams to charge towards the Nine-Tailed.
Captain Huang Quan shouted, "Suppress the Nine-Tailed! Use continuous attacks to deplete the Nine-Tailed! Share the pressure of the sealing jutsu!"
Night Light, as a Squad Leader, closely followed Yellow Dog and charged forward.
As the Anbu entered the fray, Fire Release, Exploding Tags, surged in.
Various attacks appeared on the Nine-Tailed's body, and it had no choice but to bat away various fireballs with its claws.
There were also Anbu who jumped into mid-air, thinking the eyes were the Nine-Tailed's weakness, throwing Exploding Tags at the Nine-Tailed's eyes.
What greeted them was the Nine-Tailed batting them away with a claw.
Puffs of blood mist bloomed in the air; those were the Anbu's internal organs.
Fragments of Anbu masks splattered in the air, but there were no heads behind the masks.
It was too tragic.
Night Light thought, no wonder the Nine-Tailed rampage night in the original story created psychological trauma for a generation; the Nine-Tailed's attack power was too strong, and its defense far exceeded the Ninja's attack limit.
Yellow Dog's Fire Release had astonishing power; the size of one flame bullet was almost half as large as the Nine-Tailed.
Even the Nine-Tailed had to put effort into dealing with such a Fire Release.
After successfully attracting the Nine-Tailed's attention, Yellow Dog accelerated its charge forward, drawing the Nine-Tailed's attention to below it.
The Nine-Tailed's claws came crashing down, chasing Yellow Dog.
Yellow Dog jumped away, but Senju Rinmu's wife was crushed to death on the spot.
With the Anbu's entry, Senju Rinmu, who had initially felt a slight relief, suddenly saw his wife tragically die.
His eyes instantly filled with bloodshot, full of horror.
Anbu... why didn't they protect his wife? Not protect the core person presiding over the joint sealing jutsu?
The joint sealing jutsu quickly collapsed.
The sealing curse marks on the Nine-Tailed's body disappeared, and its movements became more flexible.
Concurrently, Vortex Kushina's Adamantine Chains became unstable.
A large section of the Nine-Tailed's body was torn from Kushina, making Kushina fall to the ground, howling in pain.
The Nine-Tailed seized the opportunity, condensing another Tailed Beast Ball and blasting it towards the nearby Senju Ninja.
After the explosion, another hundred Senju Ninja were killed by the Tailed Beast Ball.
Seeing this, Senju Rinmu shouted, "Joint sealing jutsu failed! All Senju Ninja attack the Nine-Tailed! Weaken the Nine-Tailed!"
He had wanted to add, "We must hold out until the Third Hokage reinforces the seal," but the words never left his mouth.
Yellow Dog rushed to Vortex Kushina's side, no longer acting recklessly, guarding her.
Night Light, as a Squad Leader, landed around Captain Huang Quan.
Above him was the enormous Nine-Tailed, exerting immense pressure.
Looking up from below, he could only see the Nine-Tailed's wildly striking sharp claws.
The Nine-Tailed's fingernails were almost the same size as Night Light.
When a claw came down, Night Light rolled and scrambled to the side, dodging the claw.
He quickly formed hand signs.
"Earth Flow Spears!"
The Earth Flow Spears pierced the Nine-Tailed's claws; the Nine-Tailed's skin slightly dented, but the Earth Flow Spears shattered.
The Nine-Tailed's body was too tough.
His several-meter-long Earth Flow Spears were practically like cleaning the mud from the Nine-Tailed's nail crevices.
Another claw came crashing down successively.
Night Light quickly formed hand signs.
This time, the Earth Flow Spears were not meant to pierce the Nine-Tailed's claws, but like a thorny thicket, densely packed, trapping the Nine-Tailed's claws.
It only lasted for about a second; with a slight effort, the Nine-Tailed broke free from the Earth Flow Spears thorns.
Shattered stones flew everywhere.
The Nine-Tailed, annoyed that the Fox Anbu were causing trouble and wasting its time, swatted away a Fox Anbu who couldn't dodge in time.
Night Light's bones were crushed, and he died in mid-air.
[Detected host has died, Moon Viewing Arc system is activating...]
His vision shifted, and Night Light appeared on the previous full moon night.
He was outside the Senju Clan Grounds, monitoring the Senju Clan.
He was covered in cold sweat; in the face of such a natural disaster, how could he prevent the extinction of the Senju Clan?
System, quickly give the reward, what are you waiting for?
