ACSP: Chapter 35: Sage Minato Takes Action, Making Up for Regrets, Completing the Hidden Quest!
The battle continued.
Although Jiang Chen and Gamabunta's coordination was sufficiently seamless.
But the Nine-Tailed at this moment was in its perfect form, its strength already far surpassing that of a Kage-level Ninja.
Most of Jiang Chen's two thousand-plus Shadow Clone were soon destroyed by the Nine-Tailed.
In the face of absolute Tailed Beast power, his Shadow Clone were like paper; they exploded upon contact.
The strength of both sides was simply not on the same dimension.
"It seems this perfect Nine-Tailed is truly difficult to deal with."
Jiang Chen sighed softly, then flashed onto the head of the already battered Gamabunta, looked at Minato Namikaze who was sitting cross-legged there, and asked: "Lord Fourth, are you ready?"
"Sorry, I'm not very good at Sage Art, so it took some extra time to absorb natural energy."
The Fourth exhaled a breath of stale air.
When he opened his eyes again, his pupils had completely turned into toad eyes, and at the same time, a circle of yellow eyeshadow had appeared around his eye sockets.
This was a symptom unique to entering Sage Mode.
The corner of Jiang Chen's mouth twitched slightly.
This Minato Namikaze was truly humble; he could open Sage Mode on his own without relying on the Fukasaku couple.
And yet he claimed he wasn't very good at Sage Art.
But then again.
Wasn't he able to instantly enter Sage Mode during the Fourth Ninja World War?
Why did he need time to absorb natural energy here?
Could it be because of Edo Tensei?
While Jiang Chen was pondering, Minato Namikaze had already decisively taken action, charging toward the Nine-Tailed with thunderous momentum.
After entering Sage Mode, his strength had greatly increased.
Not only were his speed and power faster.
Even all his Ninjutsu were imbued with Sage Chakra, becoming Sage Arts.
Jiang Chen knew he didn't need to intervene in the following battle, so he simply sat down on Gamabunta's head and began to quietly watch Sage Minato solo the Nine-Tailed.
On the battlefield, one could see Minato Namikaze's figure constantly flashing and shifting around the Nine-Tailed, like countless golden flashes attacking the Nine-Tailed simultaneously.
With the coordination of the Flying Thunder God Technique and extreme body flicker, his speed reached the limit, leaving the Nine-Tailed unable to land a hit.
Of course, Minato Namikaze's methods weren't limited to just speed.
Whenever he found an opportunity to attack, he would immediately use "Sage Art: Big Ball Rasengan" to deal a heavy blow to the Nine-Tailed.
By the time the Nine-Tailed reacted.
He had already used the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear on the other side and continue his attack.
And the Nine-Tailed, unable to capture its target, was now left with only impotent rage, unable to do anything about him.
In this battle, Minato Namikaze pushed the Flying Thunder God Technique to the limit, combining it with Sage Art to run the Nine-Tailed in circles.
However, he knew the Nine-Tailed had thick skin and tough flesh.
It was impossible to completely subdue it.
Moreover, his goal wasn't to subdue the Nine-Tailed.
It was to save his wife.
Therefore, when the Nine-Tailed was worn down enough.
He immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring Kushina, who was on the verge of death from exhaustion, from home to the battlefield.
This was something Jiang Chen had told him earlier.
A Jinchuriki would die immediately after the Tailed Beast inside was extracted.
But as long as someone re-sealed the Tailed Beast back into the Jinchuriki within the time before the Jinchuriki died.
Then the Jinchuriki wouldn't have to die.
Minato Namikaze originally wouldn't have believed such a thing.
Because it was common knowledge in the Ninja World that a Jinchuriki would surely die if they lost their Tailed Beast.
But since the Jinchuriki this time was his wife?
He had to try in order to save Kushina.
"Kushina, I'm going to seal the Nine-Tailed back into your body now; this might save you, but you need to help me..."
Minato Namikaze helped Kushina to a safe place, then said to her with a gentle face.
"Okay."
Kushina did not hesitate.
She used the very last bit of Chakra in her body to decisively cast her most proficient Sealing Technique, "Adamantine Sealing Chains", to trap the Nine-Tailed.
And at the same time.
Minato Namikaze also quickly formed hand seals with both hands.
And pressed a palm onto the Nine-Tailed.
"Eight Trigrams Sealing Style!"
In an instant.
The Nine-Tailed's massive body suddenly turned into a phantom image and was forcibly dragged into Kushina's body.
Afterward, Minato Namikaze used his own Sage Chakra to reinforce the seal.
Making the restless Nine-Tailed inside Kushina completely quiet down.
The Nine-Tailed was successfully sealed.
At the same time.
Jiang Chen also received a series of reward notifications:
[Quest Notification: Congratulations on completing Uzumaki Kushina's request. You have obtained Power of the Nine-Tails, "Sealing Technique: Adamantine Sealing Chains", and 20,000 EXP!]
[Quest Notification: Congratulations on completing the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze's request. You have obtained +20 Favorability with Minato Namikaze and 600 EXP!]
[Secret Realm Notification: Congratulations on completing the hidden quest. You assisted Minato Namikaze in sealing the Nine-Tailed, allowing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Kushina to be reborn. You have obtained the reward: Flying Thunder God Technique!]
Holy crap!
Flying Thunder God Technique?
Seeing the last reward notification.
Even with Jiang Chen's composure, he couldn't help but get excited.
The death of Minato Namikaze and Uzumaki Kushina on the Night of the Nine-Tailed was a regret for all Naruto fans.
And he had just casually mentioned it earlier, asking Minato Namikaze to re-seal the Nine-Tailed into Kushina to try and make up for that regret.
He never expected to accidentally complete a hidden quest.
He had even obtained the Flying Thunder God Technique he had dreamed of.
This was just too awesome!
It seemed the effect of the protagonist's luck had manifested once again!
Just at the moment Jiang Chen received the rewards.
The scenery all around began to gradually blur.
Jiang Chen knew this meant the secret realm was coming to an end.
Sure enough.
No sooner had this thought occurred to him.
Than he was enveloped by a beam of light descending from the sky.
When the beam of light vanished.
Jiang Chen found that he had already returned to the entrance of the secret realm.
The people who had entered the secret realm with him had also been teleported back.
However, what he found strange was that.
After the secret realm light orb had sent everyone out, it had simply vanished.
Clearly, this secret realm did not have any concept of ownership.
Because it was a one-time use.
The teams that had witnessed Jiang Chen battling the Nine-Tailed on the battlefield immediately told their family elders what they had seen upon returning.
Very quickly, pairs of eyes filled with astonishment turned to look his way.
Li Yanran also told her father about this matter.
This made City Lord Li Hongfei even more convinced that the two Genin contracted to Jiang Chen were definitely not ordinary characters.
Perhaps both were hidden characters.
After coming out, Jiang Chen prepared to head to the City Lord's Mansion to meet up with Li Yanran and the others.
However, just at this moment.
Chen Chuxi, who had just come out of the secret realm, also walked over from another direction.
Jiang Chen ignored her and walked straight past her.
This instantly angered Chen Chuxi, whose mood was already not great.
She stepped forward quickly and intentionally blocked Jiang Chen's path.
"Although it's a pity that we didn't get the tasks we wanted in this secret realm, our team completed two tasks in total and obtained quite a bit of experience points, which counts as a bountiful harvest. I'm very curious, what kind of tasks did a team led by a loser like you manage to grind in that secret realm?"
Chen Chuxi crossed her arms and looked at Jiang Chen haughtily.
Her original intention was to berate Jiang Chen.
Because in her eyes, a secret realm team like Jiang Chen's, with the lowest average level, definitely wouldn't be able to gain any advantages in that Tailed Beast secret realm, which was full of dangers everywhere.
Due to her own misjudgment, she had only grinded some experience points in that secret realm, and she was in a very foul mood.
So she really wanted to find some sense of superiority from Jiang Chen.
This would also serve to soothe her disappointed mood a little.
In fact, this was a common flaw of all women.
Their own lives could be unsatisfactory.
But the men they had dumped absolutely must not live better than them!
