Chapter 33 – Saving Kushina – 1.5
Just as Minato was about to fully commit to the Reaper Death Seal, I leaped forward and shouted.
"Wait!"
Tsunade, Kushina, and Minato all turned their heads toward me at once.
"Alex?! What are you doing here?! It's dangerous!" Tsunade yelled at me. She was clearly shocked seeing me here.
Minato and Kushina were both pale and in visible pain, and they also stared at me with exhausted eyes. The Nine-Tails was roaring and thrashing violently against Kushina's golden chains, making the ground shake even more like an earthquake.
"Don't be so fast to sacrifice yourself," I said firmly. "I may have a way to save all of you."
For a brief moment, a spark of desperate hope appeared in both Minato's and Kushina's eyes.
"Alex, don't say nonsense," Tsunade warned sharply, though her voice wavered. "Even I, as the best medical ninja in the world, might not be able to save them in this state."
The hope in their eyes started to fade.
"Tsunade, just trust me," I said, looking straight into Minato's eyes. "Seal the Nine-Tails into your son's body right now. Then take all of us — Kushina, Naruto, and Tsunade — straight to my massage shop using your Flying Thunder God technique."
Minato's eyes widened. The Nine-Tails continued roaring and struggling, but Kushina's chains were still barely holding it.
"Are you… serious?" Minato asked while breathing heavily. He was desperate to even hold onto the glimpse of hope.
I nodded. "Dead serious. That place has special properties. If we move fast, we might be able to save both Kushina and you. But we don't have much time."
Kushina looked at me with tear-filled eyes, her voice weak but filled with a mother's determination.
"Please… save my child…"
Tsunade clenched her fists. She was also clearly hopeful and finally nodded. She knew that the message shop was the divine relic of the Senju Clan. So there really might be a chance that all of them could be saved.
"Fine. Do it, Minato. We're running out of time."
Minato took a deep breath, changed his hand seals, and began the sealing process on the newborn Naruto while I prepared to move everyone the moment he finished.
The air was thick with tension as the strongest tailed beast was roaring furiously. I was standing next to them while my heart raced with adrenaline.
"Boar — Boar — Dog — Boar — Dog — Rabbit — Snake — Rat — Dog…!"
Swish!
Minato finished the hand seals and slammed his palm onto the newborn Naruto's belly. The Five Elements Seal activated, forcefully trapping the Nine-Tails inside the baby's tiny body. The massive fox roared in fury one last time before its colossal form shrank rapidly and got sucked into the sealing formula.
The moment the sealing was complete, both mother and child began deteriorating at a terrifying speed.
Kushina's face turned deathly pale. There was blood flowing from the corners of her mouth as her vitality was draining rapidly.
The extraction of the Tailed Beast from her body had pushed her to the brink of death. Her once vibrant red hair was starting to look dull, and her massive breasts were heaving weakly because of her shallow breath.
Naruto, who was just a newborn, let out a weak cry. His tiny body was trembling violently as he seemed to be unable to handle the overwhelming chakra of the strongest Tailed Beast, which was now sealed inside him.
Minato's face twisted in panic. "Alex… if this doesn't work—"
"Now! Quickly teleport us!" I shouted.
Minato didn't hesitate any longer. He grabbed Kushina with one arm, held the baby Naruto with the other, and placed a hand on Tsunade's shoulder. I grabbed onto Tsunade as well.
Flying Thunder God Technique!
Swish!!
In a yellow flash, all of us were instantly teleported just outside the SM Dungeon. Minato couldn't mark the inside without my permission, so we appeared right in front of the entrance.
Kushina was barely conscious, and her voluptuous body was limping and covered in sweat and blood. And Naruto's cries were becoming weaker.
"Quickly, get them inside!" I urged, opening the door to the massage shop.
Tsunade immediately began channeling medical chakra into Kushina while Minato looked at me with desperate hope and fear in his eyes.
I led them straight into the VIP section, the hidden luxurious rooms where the SM Dungeon's special energy could work its magic. The room was still suggestively lewd, but no one cared about it for a moment.
As soon as we stepped inside the massage shop, I felt complete and absolute control over the entire SM Dungeon. The building recognized me as its master. In an instant, I activated its full God Mode authority — time, space, vitality, energy flow, everything bent to my will.
A massive drain hit me immediately. My chakra and stamina plummeted at a visible rate, but I didn't hesitate.
I raised my hand and focused.
First, I sealed the leaking vitality pouring out of Kushina's body. I repaired the destroyed seal and stopped the rapid drain of her life force.
Then I reached into the newborn Naruto and carefully extracted the rampaging excess Nine-Tails chakra that was tearing his tiny body apart.
The red, malevolent energy of Nine-tail flowed into my control like a raging river.
Kushina screamed in agony as I forcefully pushed a portion of that raw chakra back into her body.
"Aaaaaahhh…!!"
Her voluptuous body arched violently on the VIP massage table. Her massive breasts bounced heavily with every spasm, milk leaking slightly from her swollen nipples due to the recent birth. There was a sweat pouring down her pale skin, making her red hair stick to her flushed face and neck.
I didn't stop. I sealed roughly one-tenth of the Nine-Tails' chakra inside her as a dense, mindless blob of pure energy. It wasn't conscious like the full beast — just raw power she could use later.
Using that immense chakra, I began to rapidly repair the internal damage to her body.
As soon as I controlled the Nine-Tails' chakra, her torn chakra pathways and her organs began to heal at a visible rate.
The color slowly returned to her beautiful face, and her breathing grew stronger.
Finally, Kushina stopped screaming in pain.
Her body was still trembling from the overwhelming process but she was no longer on the verge of death.
Tsunade's checked Kushina's condition with medical chakra. "She is safe. After a few days of rest, she would completely become normal. Alex, how did you do it?"
"It's not the time to discuss this," I said while breathing heavily. "Let's focus on Naruto first."
I had already burned through nearly 40% of my chakra and stamina in saving Kushina. My body felt heavy, but I couldn't stop now.
I moved quickly to the side where Minato was holding the newborn Naruto.
Naruto's tiny body was trembling violently and his face was scrunched up in pain as the malicious chakra of the Nine-Tails was rampaging inside him. The seal was barely containing the Nine-Tails' hatred.
I placed my hand on his small belly and tried to do the same thing I did with Kushina — draw out the excess violent chakra and use the Nine-Tails' regenerative power to strengthen his fragile body.
But I quickly realized I had overestimated him.
Naruto was far too young. His body was still undeveloped, his chakra pathways barely formed. Even the smallest drop of the Nine-Tails' malicious red chakra was like pouring lava into a glass cup. His tiny body was convulsing violently in Minato's arms as I tried to stabilize him.
"Guh…!" I gritted my teeth as the sweat was pouring down my face. The drain on my own chakra reserves was massive.
Kushina was still lying weakly on the massage table with her kimono open and her massive, milk-heavy breasts exposed. She was watching the process with tear-filled eyes. Seeing her son even tried to cry, she became worried.
"Alex… please… save my son…" she was begging me in her pleading voice. It was filled with a mother's desperation to save her child.
Tsunade was also standing beside me. She was pouring her own medical chakra into the baby while shooting me worried glances.
"His body is too weak," I muttered. "He can't handle the malicious chakra at all. It's already a miracle he hasn't died yet…"
Minato's face was pale with fear. "What do we do?!"
I kept my hand firmly on Naruto's belly. I was using all my might to suppress the violent energy inside him while my own stamina continued to drop rapidly.
The situation was critical.
