Kushina carefully committed Minato's words to heart, then compared them with her previous attempt.
"I'll try again." After Minato finished speaking, Kushina began testing again.
Kushina almost succeeded the last time; she failed in the end because she got too excited, leading to a loss of control which caused the Tailed Beast Ball to shatter.
"Hehe, sorry, I got too excited." Kushina stuck out her tongue mischievously.
"It's okay, try again."
Minato rubbed Kushina's head and continued to encourage her.
Kushina took a deep breath, calmed her mind, and then began to condense the Tailed Beast Ball once more.
This time, progress was very smooth.
In the eyes of Minato and Mikoto, a black Tailed Beast Ball slowly took shape, growing from small to large.
"Try out its power."
When the Tailed Beast Ball was fully formed, Minato said to Kushina.
Kushina did just that.
She fired the Tailed Beast Ball directly forward into an uninhabited area.
The Tailed Beast Ball turned into a missile, knocking away all obstacles in front of it.
"Boom."
It only exploded completely after flying for over a hundred meters.
Terrifying energy erupted from the Tailed Beast Ball, destroying everything within its range.
When the dust settled, a huge crater with a radius of about 50 meters appeared in the eyes of Minato and the other two, a hundred meters away.
"Hiss~ What terrifying power." Mikoto covered her mouth in surprise.
"This isn't the most powerful. Only when Kushina fully transforms into the Nine-Tails and uses the Tailed Beast Ball will it have maximum power. This is just child's play right now."
Seeing Mikoto so surprised, Minato couldn't help but remind her.
Of course, the most powerful was the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball.
That single Tailed Beast Ball was as big as the entire Eight-Tails.
The combined Earth Release of the Allied Shinobi Forces was like paper in front of the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball.
"Kushina, I have a task for you. Condense a Tailed Beast Ball as big as possible. I need your Tailed Beast Ball to bomb a place."
Minato told Kushina his idea.
"No problem, leave it to me."
Kushina made an OK gesture after hearing this.
Then she began to condense the Tailed Beast Ball with both hands.
"Tell me when you're about to lose control."
Minato reminded Kushina.
"Mhm, I know."
Watching the Tailed Beast Ball grow larger and larger, Minato hurriedly connected with the Flying Thunder God formula he had left in the Root base back then.
Now, with just a thought, he could take Kushina there.
"I'm about to lose control, Minato."
When the Tailed Beast Ball reached a diameter of 10 meters, Kushina's voice finally came.
Without saying a word, Minato flashed away with Kushina in a golden light, disappearing from the spot. When they reappeared, they were in the Root base.
"Fire." Minato pointed in a direction and said to Kushina.
That was the direction Shimura Danzō was in back then. He didn't know if it had changed.
But Minato didn't care. Whether it blew up Shimura Danzō or not was fine.
Upon hearing the instruction, Kushina didn't hesitate to push the Tailed Beast Ball in the direction Minato pointed.
The Tailed Beast Ball rushed forward like a wild horse that had broken free of its rope.
"Who's there! Holy crap, what is that thing?"
The moment the Tailed Beast Ball was fired, an Anbu member discovered it. But after seeing the Tailed Beast Ball, he was completely dumbfounded.
Of course, after the Tailed Beast Ball was fired, Minato also disappeared from the underground Root base.
However, he didn't return to the wild. Instead, he appeared not far away on the ground above the Root base, ready to watch the show.
He couldn't miss seeing the gift he had painstakingly prepared for Shimura Danzō with his own eyes.
"...Tailed Beast Ball!!! Why is there a Tailed Beast Ball in the base?! Run!"
A scream spread throughout the entire Root base.
But how could they outrun the speed of a Tailed Beast Ball?
"Boom."
After traveling for dozens of meters and destroying countless buildings, the Tailed Beast Ball finally exploded.
The powerful energy not only blasted the surroundings to smithereens but also made the entire underground base crumble.
"Rumble."
Following the explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball underground, a chain reaction ensued.
The underground pillars were blown apart, unable to support the ground above.
As a result, the ground above began to collapse.
Large amounts of rocks fell from high above. People on the ground level didn't even have time to dodge and were crushed to death by the rocks.
Row upon row of rooms collapsed, and Root's data was buried underground.
Various miserable screams rang out continuously underground.
Amidst the chaotic scene, a one-eyed man was dodging constantly with four subordinates. It was Shimura Danzō.
Suddenly, countless rocks poured down from above.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves."
Shimura Danzō reacted very promptly, spraying countless invisible wind bullets from his mouth.
He shattered the large falling rocks into pieces.
Shimura Danzō's four subordinates weren't idle either; they were also using ninjutsu to constantly shatter the huge rocks.
"It's no use, Lord Danzō. We must escape to the surface as soon as possible. Otherwise, if this continues, we'll be buried alive."
One of the subordinates reminded him.
He naturally knew why Shimura Danzō wasn't leaving; he wanted to save the Root members underground.
It was just a bit unrealistic right now. If they didn't leave, they would probably die here too.
"Withdraw."
Shimura Danzō pondered for a long time before finally giving the order unwillingly. The team he had gathered with such difficulty over the years was completely ruined.
Choosing to retreat, Shimura Danzō and the four ninja cleared the path in front.
Of course, he didn't forget to remind the other ninja. If they could keep up, they should try their best. If they couldn't, Shimura Danzō had no other choice.
After going through untold hardships, Shimura Danzō finally escaped and reached the surface.
However, looking at his subordinates, Shimura Danzō's heart suddenly turned cold.
Including the four ninja who had been clearing the path with him, there were only a pitiful eight people surrounding him now.
Not even ten people.
One must know, before the disaster, there were over a hundred Anbu members.
This time, the losses could be described as heavy.
Among the eight people, only he and the four path-clearing ninja had Jōnin-level strength—exactly two Elite Jōnin and two Jōnin.
The remaining four who were lucky enough to keep up only had Chūnin-level strength.
"Damn it!"
Unreconciled, Shimura Danzō began to roar at the sky, vowing to tear the perpetrator into ten thousand pieces.
