Naruto: I'm Nine-Tails and My Host is Kushina-Chapter 89 : The Power Of Shukaku

Kushina clenched a handful of her vibrant red hair between her teeth, her fiery determination evident as she sprinted toward the battlefield.

"Suna shinobi, my dear little sister, don't be afraid!"

Her consciousness momentarily drifted into the vast, dark space of her seal.

"Kurama, if we take down Suna, this war should be over, right?"

"No," the deep, growling voice of the Nine-Tails rumbled. "The Mist will still be a threat. The Third Hokage is about to make a crucial mistake."

Kushina smirked. "Oh? Then I'll be looking forward to that."

Watching her reckless charge, Hyūga Hikari and Uchiha Mikoto had no choice but to follow, unwilling to let her face the enemy alone.

Suddenly, a fierce gust of wind accompanied by chakra-infused sand rushed toward them. At the center of it stood Karura, her piercing gaze locked onto Kushina. With a swift movement of her hand, the air around Kushina thickened as an invisible force tried to crush her.

"Sand Coffin."

"You're starting with your strongest technique? My little sister really isn't cute."

The pressure tightened, and Kushina's body was engulfed by the dense sand. For a moment, it seemed like she had been swallowed whole.

A crimson light flashed. In an instant, Karura's Sand Coffin shattered, exploding in a burst of chakra-infused debris. Karura's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Is this the famed Red Flash of Konoha? Impressive."

It was the first time anyone had broken free of her technique so easily. But speed alone wasn't enough—this was a battlefield dominated by sand. No matter how fast Kushina was, she couldn't outrun the desert itself.

Karura spread her arms and slammed her palms into the earth.

"Sand Tsunami!"

The entire desert responded, shifting like a living entity. A monstrous wave of sand surged forward, swallowing Kushina whole within seconds. The crushing weight of the sand only intensified as Karura pressed her hands down.

"Sand Burial!"

A massive surge of pressure descended, crushing everything beneath it.

"It's over. Konoha's Red Flash has been buried."

Konoha's forces gasped in horror. Even the Uchiha and Hyūga clans, known for their composure, showed signs of unease.

"No way... Did she really lose?"

"That attack was too wide! There was nowhere to escape."

"No! Kushina-sama isn't someone who would fall that easily! She's the one who destroyed an entire battalion of Iwa shinobi!"

Despite the uncertainty among the troops, two individuals remained unfazed.

Uchiha Mikoto, the rising star of the Uchiha clan.

Hyūga Hikari, the formidable leader of the Hyūga.

They knew Kushina's strength better than anyone. Karura's attack was powerful, but it wasn't enough to end her.

Meanwhile, Suna's forces erupted in cheers.

"Lady Karura has taken down Konoha's Red Flash!"

"As expected of our strongest kunoichi!"

Karura exhaled deeply, her hands still embedded in the sand. Her momentary relief was shattered by a familiar, playful voice echoing from beneath the desert.

"Suna shinobi, thanks for the sand bath!"

Karura's blood ran cold. Her golden eyes widened as she saw Kushina emerging from the quicksand, completely unharmed. A few strands of red hair still clutched between her teeth, her mischievous grin made her look more like a demon than a human.

"Little sister, I heard you control sand. What a coincidence—I'm feeling playful today too."

Kushina raised her hands, and the ground beneath them shifted. A massive surge of sand, almost identical to Karura's, surged toward the Suna forces.

A stunned silence fell over the battlefield.

"How... How is a Konoha ninja controlling sand?!"

Even Mikoto and Hikari exchanged glances, their minds racing. Mikoto's Sharingan spun as she analyzed the technique.

Inside the sealed space, Kushina was laughing wildly.

"Kurama, is this the power of Shukaku?"

"Hmph," the fox snorted. "That stupid tanuki's power is nothing compared to mine, but yes."

Kushina's connection to the tailed beasts allowed her to manipulate sand with even greater precision than Karura. After all, nobody understood sand better than the One-Tail itself.

As the two waves of sand collided, the earth trembled from the impact. The sheer force shook the battlefield, sending weaker shinobi stumbling.

Karura gritted her teeth, trying to reinforce her attack, but within moments, Kushina's control over the sand overwhelmed her own. The Konoha kunoichi's wave of sand crashed down, swallowing the Suna shinobi in an instant.

"Fall back! Retreat!"

The once-confident Suna forces now screamed in panic, their morale shattered.

Karura clenched her fists. "Why...? How does she have this power?!"

Her mind raced. The sensation of Kushina's sand—it felt disturbingly familiar.

No... it couldn't be.

A sinking feeling crept into her chest as realization dawned upon her.

Meanwhile, Kushina grinned, watching the retreating enemy. "Kurama, Shukaku's abilities are really handy!"

"Hmph, of course. That tanuki has been manipulating sand for centuries. Compared to him, these humans are mere children."

Kushina's eyes gleamed. "I'm not letting them get away."

She turned to her allies. "Hikari, Mikoto, I'm going after my cute little sister."

Without another word, she vanished in a crimson blur.

Hikari and Mikoto sighed in unison.

"There she goes again," Mikoto muttered.

Hikari shook his head. "We should follow her. She may be strong, but this is still war."

Mikoto turned to Uchiha Fugaku. "Hold the line here. We'll be back."

Fugaku watched as they departed, sighing. Kushina was reckless, always diving headfirst into battle without a second thought. But despite her hotheaded nature, he couldn't help but admire her strength.

He glanced at the battlefield, where the remnants of Kushina's attack were still evident.

Kushina... and Minato. Two rising stars of Konoha.

While Kushina was a storm of raw power, Minato was the calm, unshakable force—a genius in every sense of the word. Handsome, intelligent, and kind, Minato was respected by all who knew him.

Fugaku smirked. "In the end, Minato's way of fighting might be the smarter one."

Elsewhere, Karura led her surviving forces through the desert, her mind racing.

"Lady Karura, the Red Flash is pursuing us! Alongside Hyūga Hikari and an Uchiha!"

Three of Konoha's strongest warriors.

She should have been worried, but instead, a cold smile formed on her lips.

"Perfect. Let them come."

Karura had been trying to lure Hyūga Hikari into a trap for weeks, but the Hyūga leader had always been too cautious. However, Kushina...

That woman was impulsive, reckless.

And now, she was playing right into Karura's hands.

Karura's grip tightened.

"Kushina Uzumaki... I need to know. Where did you get the power to control sand?"

The answer terrified her more than the battlefield itself.
