Inside the birthing cave.
Minato Namikaze had already heard the sounds of battle outside.
However, Minato Namikaze trusted Shindai and the others; what he needed to do now was maintain the seal and prevent the Nine-Tailed from emerging.
And with the combined efforts of Uzumaki Kushina, Minato Namikaze, Sarutobi Biwako, and Taji, Naruto was finally born.
Hearing Naruto's robust cries, Uzumaki Kushina shed tears of happiness.
Minato Namikaze was also teary-eyed, wiping away the tears that were about to fall, and happily said, "From today on, I'm a father!"
Sarutobi Biwako held Naruto and said with a smile, "He's a very energetic boy."
Seeing Sarutobi Biwako carrying Naruto and walking over, Minato Namikaze happily wanted to hold Naruto, but Sarutobi Biwako stopped him with a shout: "Don't touch him carelessly, he should see his mother first, right!"
Sarutobi Biwako gently placed Naruto, wrapped in swaddling clothes, beside Uzumaki Kushina.
Uzumaki Kushina looked at Naruto, revealing a smile full of maternal radiance: "Naruto... I finally see you..."
"Alright, Kushina, now you should relax and rest."
Sarutobi Biwako carried Naruto away.
Minato Namikaze held Uzumaki Kushina's hand: "Kushina, are you feeling alright? Thank you..."
Uzumaki Kushina also looked at Minato Namikaze with deep affection: "Minato..."
Minato Namikaze said with great enthusiasm: "Alright! Even though you're very tired after giving birth, I need to make the Nine-Tailed completely docile, and then go help Shisui and the others fight."
"Minato!"
Uzumaki Kushina suddenly cried out in alarm.
Because behind Minato Namikaze, a black-clad figure wearing a spiral mask and a black cloak suddenly appeared, swinging a Ninja Blade towards Minato Namikaze's neck.
And this black-clad figure was Uchiha Setsuna.
Minato Namikaze reacted extremely quickly, having already thrown a Flying Thunder God Kunai behind him, then instantly teleported behind Uchiha Setsuna, stabbing Uchiha Setsuna with the Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand.
Uchiha Setsuna's gaze fell on Sarutobi Biwako, then he suddenly vanished, only to reappear behind Sarutobi Biwako.
"Lady Biwako!"
Taji pushed Sarutobi Biwako away, and his shoulder was struck by Uchiha Setsuna's blade.
And Naruto, who was being held by Sarutobi Biwako, was snatched away by Uchiha Setsuna.
Uchiha Setsuna aimed the Ninja Blade at Naruto: "Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, now, use the Kunai in your hand to stab your own heart! Otherwise, your newborn child will die immediately before your eyes!"
Minato Namikaze looked at Uchiha Setsuna before him with difficulty, completely unable to understand how the opponent had silently passed through this barrier.
"Ugh!"
Uzumaki Kushina cried out in pain.
Uzumaki Kushina was extremely weak now, and the seal was currently in a half-unsealed state.
Because she was overly worried about the newborn Naruto, the Nine-Tailed took the opportunity to struggle, causing the seal to become increasingly fragile.
Uchiha Setsuna urged: "Hurry up, do you want to see your child die immediately before your eyes?"
Uchiha Setsuna's Ninja Blade moved a little closer to Naruto.
Minato Namikaze said anxiously: "Wait! Calm down!"
Suddenly.
Several Sand Iron long needles shot out from the spherical object next to Uzumaki Kushina, aiming at Uchiha Setsuna's head.
This spherical object of Shindai's was a pure mechanical trap.
There were only four people in the birthing room, plus the newborn Naruto, making a total of five.
If a sixth person appeared in the birthing room, the sphere would scan and trigger the trap, locking onto that sixth person and firing Sand Iron long needles.
Uchiha Setsuna instinctively raised his blade to block these Sand Iron long needles.
Minato Namikaze immediately used Instantaneous Body Technique to snatch Naruto from Uchiha Setsuna's hand.
Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Kunai and Uchiha Setsuna's Ninja Blade collided.
"As expected of the Yellow Flash, even a regular Instantaneous Body Technique is so fast, but what will you do next?"
A sizzling sound came from Naruto in Minato Namikaze's arms.
It was the sound of explosive tags; several explosive tags had been attached to Naruto's swaddling clothes by Uchiha Setsuna.
If these explosive tags exploded, the cave would collapse, and Uzumaki Kushina would also be in danger.
Minato Namikaze, while removing the swaddling clothes from Naruto, used the Flying Thunder God Technique to transfer himself and Naruto to a wooden house, and after throwing the swaddling clothes to the ground, he rushed out of the wooden house with Naruto.
The explosive tags detonated, destroying the wooden house.
Minato Namikaze and Naruto were safe.
Naruto was crying in Minato Namikaze's arms.
Minato Namikaze wiped the sweat from his forehead: "That's great, Naruto isn't hurt."
Subsequently, Minato Namikaze's expression became extremely solemn; that black-clad figure wanted to kill him, and now Uzumaki Kushina was in danger.
Inside the cave.
"Tch, he ran really fast, it's actually a bit difficult to kill him just like that, there will definitely be another chance later, I'll take you away first."
Uchiha Setsuna looked at Uzumaki Kushina.
"You wouldn't dare!"
Sarutobi Biwako and Taji held Kunai, guarding in front of Uzumaki Kushina.
However, Uchiha Setsuna instantly appeared behind the two, originally intending to kill Sarutobi Biwako and Taji with one strike.
But the spherical object next to Uzumaki Kushina once again shot out multiple Sand Iron long needles.
"What the heck! Never mind, the plan is more important."
Before the Sand Iron long needles hit Uchiha Setsuna, Uchiha Setsuna reached out and grabbed Uzumaki Kushina, then instantly disappeared.
Sarutobi Biwako and Taji stood stunned in place, just like that, they were gone?
Sarutobi Biwako's expression was extremely solemn: "It's a Space-Time Ninjutsu similar to Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique, this is bad!"
...Outside the cave.
Deva Path Pain said to Konan and Sasori: "Tobi has succeeded, let's retreat for now."
Deva Path Pain, Konan, and Sasori used Instantaneous Body Technique to retreat.
Uchiha Shisui still wanted to lead people to pursue, but Sarutobi Biwako, who had emerged after the barrier was dispelled, shouted: "Don't chase them, Kushina was captured by a masked person, and the seal is now in an extremely weak state, what's most important now is Kushina!"
Everyone's expressions changed.
Shindai immediately darted out, and Obito and Kakashi hurriedly chased after him, anxiously asking: "Shindai, where are you going?"
Shindai replied urgently: "I don't know, but we must find Sister Kushina quickly now! Let's split up and search!"
"Alright!"
Obito and Kakashi went in two other directions respectively.
Shindai was extremely anxious, thinking there were only three people, but he didn't expect Deva Path Pain, Konan, and Sasori to be just bait.
And that Black Zetsu guy actually found another person who could use Space-Time Ninjutsu, now it's really troublesome.
If this development continues, the Nine-Tailed might still come out!
