"Could Sage Seiryū also be a Jinchūriki?"
Naruto looked at the "half-tailed beast" Seiryū and could not help swallowing.
This state.
Was extremely similar to when he had been eroded by the Nine-Tails' chakra.
Could it be that Seiryū, who had mastered the art of eternal youth and longevity, was also a Jinchūriki?
"No, he is not a Jinchūriki. This is not Tailed Beast chakra either, but Dragon Vein chakra. I did not expect Dragon Vein chakra to be so similar to a Tailed Beast..."
Yamato took a deep breath, his expression turning serious.
He had not expected that Dragon Vein chakra would resemble Tailed Beast chakra so much, and could also cause someone to go berserk.
"The Yin Seal is absorbing and storing the Dragon Vein chakra? But that brat has already lost his sanity..."
Tsunade bit her lip, her heart filled with anxiety.
Seiryū had activated the Yin Seal, and the Dragon Vein chakra was being guided into storage by it.
But she could also see that Seiryū was now like a rampaging Jinchūriki, he had completely lost his mind!
She knew the situation could not be delayed any longer, they had to respond to Seiryū now!
Looking at Minato, Tsunade urgently said, "Minato, prepare a sealing jutsu and first seal the Dragon Vein chakra inside Seiryū."
"If this continues, his life may be in danger. We must restrain Seiryū first!"
Seiryū's condition was extremely similar to a Jinchūriki going berserk.
But Seiryū was not a Jinchūriki, and the Dragon Vein was not a Tailed Beast.
No one knew whether this situation would be dangerous.
They had to first seal the Dragon Vein chakra inside Seiryū and restrain him!
Tsunade flashed forward toward Seiryū. Forming hand seals, she shouted, "Yin Seal, Release!"
At her forehead, the diamond mark released black patterns, forming a flower-like design.
The stored chakra was drawn out, boosting her strength!
Minato nodded seriously without speaking.
He was already prepared to act.
Seiryū was his junior, there was no way he would stand by and watch him fall into danger!
Naruto flashed to Minato's side and spoke quickly, "We'll help too. Captain Yamato's Wood Release can suppress Tailed Beasts very well. When the Nine-Tails inside me went berserk before, Captain Yamato helped suppress it!"
Yamato had the same thought and said, "Minato-sama, please give your orders!"
It was likely because the rampaging Dragon Vein chakra was affecting space-time.
Even though Anrokuzan, who had absorbed the Dragon Vein seal in their timeline, had already self-destructed, they had not immediately returned to their own timeline.
Perhaps.
Only after the Dragon Vein chakra completely calmed down would they return to their original timeline...
Minato glanced at the two of them, a Nine-Tails Jinchūriki and a Wood Release user...
It seemed that many things had happened in Konoha in another timeline...
But now was not the time to think about that. Minato nodded. "Alright, follow my instructions. We need to end this quickly!"
"Understood!"
The two responded, their eyes sharp as they prepared to act!
"Ugh...! Wraaah! Roar!"
A bloodthirsty, violent growl came from Seiryū's mouth. Having lost his sanity and only retaining instinct, he sensed Tsunade approaching.
His crimson gaze locked onto her, filled with violence, bloodlust, and coldness.
Anyone who approached him was seen as an enemy!
After all, he had lost his sanity.
The solidified dark red Dragon Vein chakra formed claws. Seiryū raised his right hand, and in his palm, a dark red Rasengan spun violently.
In an instant, it expanded to over ten meters!
This was a Massive Rasengan!
The Rasengan required no hand seals. Even with only instinct, Seiryū could still use it. It was simply a form transformation of chakra.
Boom!
The Massive Rasengan came crashing down toward Tsunade. Its enormous size meant even greater power.
The point of impact erupted with a terrifying roar, wind pressure sweeping outward as shockwaves spread...
But it was dodged.
At that instant, Minato used Flying Thunder God Technique, appearing in front of Tsunade and teleporting her away!
His crimson gaze swept forward. The missed attack caused Seiryū to emit a low growl. With a step forward, he used Shunpo to charge in!
His blade-like right hand slammed down toward the position of Tsunade and Minato!
Though it was only a single claw strike, it contained immense power. Dozens of meters of ground shattered instantly, massive rocks jutting up as cracks spread.
The attack missed again, which seemed to anger the mindless Seiryū.
He opened his mouth wide, releasing a roar that shook the surrounding space.
Both hands lifted upward.
Amid the buzzing, violent hum.
Two dark red Rasengan, each over ten meters in size, appeared once more.
Around them, several smaller Rasengan orbited like satellites....
Massive Planetary Rasengan!
Boom! Boom boom boom!
The solidified Dragon Vein chakra cloak could extend his arms, and under Seiryū's instinct, it was used.
The extended arms carried the two Planetary Rasengan and hurled them toward Tsunade and Minato, who had appeared elsewhere.
The roar echoed as the ground trembled.
The Massive Planetary Rasengan exploded, leaving behind a massive crater.
Naturally, it was dodged once again by Flying Thunder God Technique.
A shinobi with space-time ninjutsu was not easy to hit.
Without specific countermeasures, it was nearly impossible to land an attack on such a shinobi!
"Wood Release: Great Forest Technique!"
Without approaching recklessly, Yamato formed hand seals and used Wood Release.
Rustle rustle rustle!
Numerous wooden branches surged forward, attempting to wrap around the rampaging Seiryū and restrain his movements.
Boom!
What met them was Seiryū's dark red Massive Rasengan. The violent tearing force shredded the incoming wooden branches into splinters that scattered everywhere...
"You brat, you really know how to cause trouble. Every time you stir up chaos like this. Hurry up and come back to your senses!!"
With Minato's Flying Thunder God teleportation, Tsunade had already arrived not far from Seiryū.
Looking at the rampaging Seiryū, she gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with anxiety and worry.
If she wanted Minato to use a sealing jutsu, they needed to create an opening.
To create an opening against a berserk Seiryū, they had to suppress him with force...
Tsunade knew she could not hold back!
Her fair fist was covered in immense chakra. With monstrous strength, she punched toward Seiryū, instantly compressing chakra into a powerful impact that enhanced the force of her strike!!
Seiryū let out a roar. Perhaps due to instinct, or perhaps because of Kakushitsuijaku, he reacted instantly.
He crossed both arms in defense, taking Tsunade's punch head-on!
With a heavy thud, the air exploded, and shockwaves spread outward.
Seiryū was directly knocked back by the punch, his legs dragging across the ground and carving a trail over ten meters long.
After steadying himself, Seiryū continued to emit meaningless low growls. His crimson eyes locked forward, filled with brutality, savagery, and cold indifference...
Buzz buzz buzz!
Amid a faint humming sound.
A trace of pale green light appeared within the dark red chakra cloak covering Seiryū's body. The fluctuations of his chakra intensified once more, and the pale green chakra surged like an aura.
This was a sign that the Eight Gates were opening.
