An attack method with powerful Sealing Jutsu? Minato Namikaze himself didn't directly master such a technique, but his wife—Uzumaki Kushina—was an absolute expert in this field!
Those brilliant golden chains that pierced through Urashiki and firmly bound him were precisely the Sealing Jutsu most proficiently used by the Uzumaki Clan, renowned as the "Tailed Beast Killer"—the Adamantine Sealing Chains!
At this moment, maintaining the output of the chains behind Urashiki and tightly restraining him, was Uzumaki Kushina's Chakra body.
While fully maintaining the Seal suppression on Urashiki, she covered her head with one hand, rapidly receiving and processing fragmented yet crucial memory clips—about her experiences after her "resurrection"—transmitted from her "main body" due to intense Chakra resonance.
So, why would Uzumaki Kushina's Chakra body appear deep within Naruto's mental world?
This goes back to that night more than a decade ago—the Nine-Tails Attack.
In the final moments of her life, Kushina left a portion of her Chakra, along with her last motherly love and entrustment, deep within the newly born Naruto. This wisp of Chakra carried her two strongest dying wishes.
First, "witnessing." She hoped that one day, this Chakra would be touched and awakened, allowing her to personally see Naruto grown up, fulfilling the regret and last wish of a mother who couldn't accompany her child's growth.
Second, "guarding." Due to the Nine-Tailed's ferocity and danger, leaving this wisp of Chakra containing pure Uzumaki Sealing Jutsu power was also to suppress the Nine-Tailed at critical moments, preventing it from manipulating Naruto or going berserk due to loss of control, serving as insurance to protect her son.
This wisp of Chakra had been buried deep at the bottom of Naruto's sea of consciousness, silently sleeping, until just now—
When Minato Namikaze was fighting in the mental world, he sensed the familiar fluctuation of this wisp of Chakra from his wife, and it actually "awakened"! Although the specific reason was unclear, at the critical juncture when Urashiki subdued the Nine-Tailed and the battle reached a stalemate, Minato decisively communicated with the awakened Kushina Chakra body through their Chakra connection and formulated the strategy just now.
So, why did the Chakra that had been dormant for many years suddenly awaken at this moment?
The key to this lay precisely in the Nine-Tailed itself.
Originally, according to Kushina's preset, the "trigger condition" for this Chakra tended towards "Nine-Tailed going berserk." However, the current Nine-Tailed had long been completely reformed by Naruto, and the two were in perfect sync. For the Nine-Tailed, Naruto was an irreplaceable best friend and family, more important than its own existence.
Therefore, when Urashiki declared his intention to take Possession of Naruto and erase his existence, what the Nine-Tailed felt was by no means mere anger, but a "berserk" state mixed with extreme protectiveness, bone-deep fear, and towering hatred! This was a special state that wouldn't harm the Jinchuriki but triggered a Seal resonance due to powerful negative emotions.
It was this intense Chakra roar from the Nine-Tailed, triggered by the "possible loss of Naruto," that awakened Uzumaki Kushina's residual Chakra!
After this Chakra awakened, it instinctively first searched for Naruto's figure, but couldn't find it.
Just as she was about to fall back into slumber, she "saw" the fierce battle unfolding in the mental world, the enraged Nine-Tailed, and her husband, fighting against a strange enemy emanating an unfamiliar aura!
Finally, the memories of her main body's resurrection were completely integrated and understood. Uzumaki Kushina's face turned incredibly dreadful, her anger laced with a murderous intent that her most cherished treasure was about to be defiled and destroyed.
Her son, whom she brought into this world at the cost of her life, couldn't personally accompany him as he grew up, and now, after so much difficulty, she could finally see him again... his personality, his consciousness and Soul, everything he represented, was actually going to be completely erased in such a despicable way by this scoundrel who appeared out of nowhere?!
"Kushina! Wait a moment!" Minato Namikaze's voice rang out in time. "The top priority is the Seal! He is currently just a consciousness existing as [Karma] data, and conventional means cannot completely eliminate him. We must completely isolate him before he fully revives by continuously 'adapting' to Naruto's body's power, otherwise, once the Fusion is complete, it will truly be beyond salvation!"
Minato quickly analyzed, observing that each time Urashiki launched an attack or used an ability, the concentration of Ōtsutsuki Chakra around him would briefly pause its increase. This indicated that Urashiki's current power originated from the power of his Fusion with Naruto itself.
"...I'll settle accounts with you properly after everything is over!"
Kushina glared fiercely at Minato, her gaze mixed with annoyance that her husband had dared to "hide" in her son's body for so long without telling her, as well as the unresolved sadness and resentment over his "mutual destruction" decision from back then.
But now was not the time to dwell on these matters. Her son's safety was paramount.
Minato merely nodded silently, forcibly suppressing the complex emotions surging within him.
He stepped in front of Urashiki, who was still struggling in vain, firmly bound by the Adamantine Sealing Chains. He began to form hand signs.
Those were the hand signs for the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style.
Aside from the forbidden technique Reaper Death Seal, which sacrifices the caster's Soul to achieve mutual destruction with the enemy, the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style was one of the most supreme, stable, and widely applied powerful Sealing Jutsu of the Uzumaki Clan and even the entire Ninja World. Whether it was Minato himself, Kushina, or later Uzumaki Naruto, the core Seals used and relied upon were either this technique or its variations.
Its strength was enough to rank at the very top of Sealing Jutsu in the Ninja World. For disaster-level existences like Tailed Beasts, which possess almost infinite Chakra, a complete Eight Trigrams Sealing Style was sufficient to firmly lock down and suppress their power. Unless there was extreme external interference or drastic internal changes, it would be extremely difficult to cause much trouble.
"Eight Trigrams Sealing Style!"
With Minato's low shout, the hand signs were complete!
In an instant, a large number of dark, intricately complex and profound Seal runes emerged from Minato's palm, rapidly spreading and climbing along the Adamantine Sealing Chains that pierced through Urashiki's body, instantly covering Urashiki's entire consciousness body!
Urashiki immediately felt a terrifying suppressive force, far exceeding physical restraint, reaching the very Origin of his Soul! It was layering, permeating, and solidifying his "existence" itself, intending to completely sever him from all external connections and the source of his power!
"Damn it! Stop it!"
Urashiki let out a hysterical roar, filled with unwillingness and fear, twisting his body frantically, but the suppression of the Adamantine Sealing Chains and the erosion of the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style made all his resistance futile.
The execution of the Sealing Jutsu was exceptionally smooth. The dark runes finally completely merged into the interior of Urashiki's consciousness body, then their light receded, returning to calm. The golden chains of the Adamantine Sealing Chains slowly loosened.
"Hmph... Hmph..." Urashiki collapsed to the ground, "gasping" for air, his consciousness in chaos due to the impact of the Seal. He still didn't fully understand what had happened to him.
Minato, standing opposite him, stared intently at Urashiki, silently praying in his heart. He hoped his judgment and the Seal he had just performed would achieve the desired effect.
Soon, signs appeared. Urashiki raised his head blankly.
His original golden Rinnegan had lost all its luster and color, and had actually reverted to its most basic, stark pure white—ordinary Byakugan!
"This... this is impossible..." Urashiki muttered in disbelief, subconsciously trying to sense and mobilize his power.
Empty!
"Where's my Chakra?! My power?! What... what did you do to me?!" He became completely panicked, his voice distorted by fear. The damned golden chains were gone, so why was his body still utterly silent?
He refused to believe it, concentrating his remaining will to try and activate the most basic ocular jutsu.
"Universal Pull!"
He reached out towards Minato in the distance... but nothing happened.
Let alone gravity, not even a ripple of Chakra was stirred. Those Byakugan eyes widened in vain, filled only with endless blankness and a gradually spreading despair.
"Awoooo—!!!" Just then, a roar shook the entire mental space!
The Nine-Tailed, which had previously been pinned to the ground by Urashiki's giant Chakra pillar, violently broke free from its shackles as Urashiki's power was completely sealed and his restraints vanished!
It swung its tails, thundering down in front of Urashiki!
Shadow instantly enveloped the tiny Urashiki.
"How dare you... scheme against Naruto..." The Nine-Tailed lowered its head, its beast eyes almost dripping blood, its voice deep and hoarse with hatred, "I will... tear you to shreds!!!"
Urashiki, having lost all his power and reverted to ordinary Byakugan, slumped on the "ground," looking up at the Tailed Beast in front of him, whose killing intent had reached its peak. He then glanced at Uzumaki Kushina beside him, her eyes cold, her red hair moving without wind... one large and one small, one beast and one person, both exuding a terrifying aura of wanting to tear him to pieces and utterly annihilate his Soul, stepping closer and closer, unswervingly, towards Urashiki.
