Naruto: The dungeon I developed went viral throughout the entire ninja world.

Chapter 20 The Red-Haired Woman, the Entire Ninja World Mocks Konoha

The camera zooms in, focusing on a figure on the ground.

Kushina Uzumaki had just given birth and was immediately stripped of her tailed beast by the masked man.

An ordinary person would have died long ago. Even other Jinchūriki would have died long ago.

But not only did she survive, she also had the strength to fight back.

Golden chains shot out from the void behind her.

Diamond Lockdown, a secret technique of the Uzumaki clan.

The chains instantly wrapped around the Nine-Tails' neck, limbs, and torso.

"roar!"

The nine-tailed fox roared and struggled desperately, its claws scratching at the ground.

Kushina's body was dragged along the ground by this immense force.

A long trail of blood stretched beneath him.

"Stop...right now!"

Kushina coughed up a mouthful of blood, but instead of letting go, she gripped even tighter.

His eyes were now bloodshot.

"Watergate..."

Kushina's voice was weak, but it was amplified by the Sky Screen's loudspeaker system and carried throughout the entire ninja world.

"I can still hold on..."

"Quickly... set up a barrier..."

"Don't let it...go to the village..."

The water gate landed beside her.

Seeing his wife's miserable state, the man known as Yellow Flash had tears in his eyes.

He reached out, wanting to help Kushina up.

"Leave me alone!"

Kushina shouted.

"Do what you're supposed to do! You're the Hokage!"

Minato's hand froze in mid-air, then he quickly formed a hand seal.

This is not an ordinary defensive formation, but a barrier constructed by Kushina burning her remaining life force in conjunction with Minato's chakra.

The red, semi-transparent curtain wall completely isolates this wilderness from the world.

This barrier not only isolates the Nine-Tails, but also Konoha Village's last escape route and the family's grave.

Inside the instance, Naruto stood at the edge of the barrier, looking at the red-haired woman.

They were so close they could see the sweat on the red-haired woman's face and the horrific wound on her abdomen.

Naruto instinctively took a step forward and placed his hand on his stomach.

Red hair, the Whirlpool Clan.

"Mother……"

The way Naruto said those two words sounded a little awkward and unnatural.

This was the first time in seven years that he had uttered that word.

He reached out his slightly trembling hand, wanting to touch Kushina's pale face. But the moment he touched her, his hand passed right through her like a phantom.

Naruto was stunned.

He frantically tried again to grab the golden chains, wanting to help his mother with even the slightest bit of her weight, but his hands swept across the void time and time again, grasping nothing.

"Please... don't push yourself... I'm being good..."

Naruto's tears welled up, and he didn't even care about the terrifying pressure of the Nine-Tails being so close at hand. He knelt down beside Kushina and tried to shield her from the horrific wounds with his body.

But he couldn't touch her; he was just an observer, watching his mother slowly lose her life.

In the real world, at Konoha Square.

Thousands of villagers stood with their heads held high, watching this scene in silence.

Shame weighed on everyone's head.

In the scene, due to the barrier, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, along with several hundred elite Anbu members, could only stand on the outside like wooden figures.

The third generation's Ruyi Jingu Bang slammed heavily against the barrier, but it couldn't budge it an inch.

"It won't open!" the third generation in the video shouted.

"This is the last line of defense that Kushina risked her life to set up!"

The entire ninja world watched as the Hokage and the elite of his village became the front row spectators of this tragedy.

What did they see?

A woman, and a mother, did not choose to run away or harbor any resentment after experiencing the greatest pain in her life.

She chose to fight for her village, and it was these people watching the live stream who had once called her son a fox spirit.

Kushina can be considered a true benefactor to others.

Just then.

Above the screen, the long-silent bullet screen area erupted once again.

The entire ninja world was filled with mockery.

[Kujira Bee from Kumogakure] "Idiot! Bastard! Is this Konoha? Sending a woman who just gave birth to fight? Are all the men dead? Yeah!"

[A, the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure] "The Uzumaki clan's vitality is indeed terrifying, being able to suppress the Nine-Tails even after having their tailed beast extracted. But Konoha's actions are disgusting. Is this the magnanimity of the number one ninja village?"

[Chiyo of Sunagakure] "This old woman has lived for so long, and this is the first time I've ever seen anything like this. What is the Hokage doing? What is the Anbu doing? What is Root doing? Putting a dying woman in the lead at the front?"

[A certain Jonin from Iwagakure] "Hahaha! This is hilarious! This is what they call the Will of Fire? Saving lives with women and dead bodies? Where's Hiruzen Sarutobi? Where's Danzo? Why aren't they fighting for their lives?"

【Mei Terumi of Kirigakure】"This is truly chilling. If this were my village, I would never let it happen. That woman is a hero, but Konoha is not worthy of her."

Every comment was like a resounding slap across the face of the villagers of Konoha.

It even slapped Hiruzen Sarutobi's face, causing a burning pain.

The villagers, watching the comments section, were completely unable to refute them.

Even if someone says something slightly wrong, you can always make it up, but the problem is that what they say is right.

In the scene, only Minato and Kushina are fighting desperately.

As for the third generation, were they powerless to help? Perhaps.

But to outsiders, this appears to be incompetence and weakness.

Is it really beyond saving? Or did the village leadership weigh the pros and cons and simply decide against trying to save them?

The scene then shifts to Danzo.

Danzo Shimura leaned on a cane, half his face hidden in shadow.

"Lord Danzo!"

One of the Root members was kneeling on the ground, clearly extremely anxious.

"The Nine-Tails has been moved to the outskirts by the Fourth Hokage, and the Third Hokage has led troops to provide support. However, the Nine-Tails' power is too immense, and the situation inside the barrier is unclear. We request Root's assistance!"

Danzo slowly turned around.

"Withdraw all personnel stationed on standby in the outer perimeter."

His tone was indifferent, as if the discussion was not about the survival of the village, but about a trivial game of chess.

"But... the Fourth Hokage and Lady Kushina are fighting alone..."

"That's the Hokage's duty."

Danzo coldly interrupted his subordinate.

"Since Minato Namikaze has accepted the title of Hokage, he must be prepared to sacrifice himself for the village. As for Sarutobi... since he likes to play the role of a loving father in public, it's natural for him to fight for his life in this situation."

"Root's mission is to protect the balance of Konoha. Participating in the rescue now will only increase the losses. Once those two and the Nine-Tails are both severely injured, I will naturally clean up the mess and rebuild Konoha."

He sat back down in his chair and closed his eyes.

"Remember, no matter how withered the leaves on the ground are, as long as the roots are still there, new leaves will grow again. For the greater good, sacrifice is necessary."

The villagers watched the man hiding underground, spouting grand pronouncements, and the Minato couple, who were fighting desperately.

The certainty is that the Konoha leadership made the heroes bleed and weep.

"Stop talking..."

In the crowd, a Chunin covered his face.

He was too ashamed to look at those images and comments; they were too embarrassing.

The pride of being a Konoha ninja was trampled underfoot at this moment.

Their village became a huge joke in the eyes of the entire ninja world.

They can only survive by sacrificing women and children; they're utterly spineless.

The scene continues; inside the barrier, the Nine-Tails is suppressed, but it is still roaring.

Its scarlet beast eyes were filled with savagery as it gathered its strength, preparing to break free of the Vajra Lock.

A clean break must be made.

Shuimen clasped his hands together, completing the hand seal for the four earthly branches: Si, Hai, Wei, Mao, Xu, Zi, You, Wu, Si.

A chilling aura descended upon the wilderness, and the temperature plummeted.

Behind the water gate, space distorted.

A ghostly figure dressed in white mourning clothes, with a short knife in its mouth and a ferocious face, slowly emerged.

grim Reaper.

This is a sight that only the caster can see.

However, with the support of the Sky Curtain System, everyone in the entire ninja world witnessed this terrifying existence.

It hovered behind the Fourth Hokage, exuding an aura of death.

Inside the instance, Naruto stood not far away.

"Daddy! No!"

Naruto rushed over like a madman.

However, he could only watch helplessly as the Grim Reaper's arm pierced through Minato's abdomen and seized his soul.

"For the village...for Naruto..."

Minato muttered to himself.

The Grim Reaper's arm reached out and grabbed the Nine-Tails.

"seal!"

Minato let out a loud shout.
