Naruto: I'm Nine-Tails and My Host is Kushina-Chapter 24 - : The Bond Between Minato and Fugaku

---

Two teams of Cloud Shinobi had entered the Land of Fire.

The team led by D and Moroi had already been eliminated by Kurama.

The second team, however, was rushing toward the Land of Lightning at full speed and was now close to the border of the Land of Fire.

This team was led by C, D's brother.

Their plan was to meet at the border of the Land of Fire.

Once they crossed it, no matter how strong Konoha was, they would be safe.

"I don't know if D's mission has been completed," C thought to himself.

There was no other option now but to head to the meeting point and confirm the situation.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Fugaku was struggling against the Cloud Shinobi who had captured him.

This time, he had been careless.

The Cloud Shinobi had come prepared, and Fugaku had walked right into their trap.

Otherwise, with his strength, he would not have been captured so quickly.

If he had encountered them head-on, he could have stalled for time until reinforcements from the Uchiha clan arrived.

"Damn it! Haven't the clan's reinforcements arrived yet? They're almost at the border of the Land of Fire," Fugaku thought, feeling uneasy.

As an Uchiha, he knew exactly what the enemy wanted—his Sharingan.

Being taken to the Land of Lightning was not an option.

But no matter what happened, he was certain of one thing—he would not allow his Sharingan to fall into enemy hands.

The Uchiha were a proud clan, carrying themselves with dignity and self-respect.

Throughout history, no Uchiha had ever allowed their Sharingan to be stolen.

If the Cloud Shinobi succeeded in taking his eyes, Fugaku would be remembered as the greatest disgrace in Uchiha history.

"Sharingan has never fallen into foreign hands," he reminded himself.

"what are you talking about?"

The Cloud Shinobi who had captured Fugaku were excited.

"Captain, I didn't expect this guy to be the Uchiha clan's young leader. We've hit the jackpot!"

He grinned.

He hadn't expected to capture such a valuable target either.

The young leader of the Uchiha clan would surely possess extraordinary strength, and his Sharingan must be incredibly pure.

If not for their careful planning, Fugaku wouldn't have fallen into their hands so easily.

However, several Uchiha had managed to escape.

The news of Fugaku's capture had already reached the Uchiha clan.

All of Konoha now knew that the Uchiha clan's young leader had been taken by the Cloud Shinobi.

"We don't have time to celebrate yet. Move faster! Reinforcements from the Uchiha clan and Konoha will arrive soon. We can't let our guard down!" Captain ordered.

"Yes, Captain!"

The closer they got to the border, the more Fugaku's hope faded.

Suddenly, under the moonlight, a lone figure appeared in their path.

To Rescue Uchiha Fugaku

A young man with blond hair and a Konoha forehead protector stood blocking their way.

Cloud Shinobi saw a flash of Yellow Under the Moonlight

It was none other than Namikaze Minato.

His forehead protector reflected a strange glow in the moonlight.

Captain expression darkened.

"Damn it! How did Konoha's reinforcements get here so fast?"

Then, he noticed something—there was only one enemy.

Fugaku, upon seeing Minato, felt an overwhelming sense of relief.

Minato's arrival was like a calming medicine to his anxious heart.

His blue eyes burned with determination. His breathing was steady despite the odds against him. He had no grand jutsu, no legendary techniques. But he had his speed, his skill, and his will to fight.

"Put him down," Minato ordered, his voice steady.

The Cloud Jonin smirked. "A Genin?" He scoffed. "This is who Konoha sends after us? Kid, go home before you die."

Minato didn't move. "This is your last warning."

The Jonin sighed and gestured to his partner. "Kill him."

The second Cloud Shinobi, a Chunin, wasted no time. He dashed forward, kunai in hand, aiming for Minato's heart.

Minato sidestepped effortlessly. His speed was faster.

He grabbed the Chunin's wrist, twisting it violently. A sickening crack echoed as the man's bone snapped.

The shinobi screamed, but Minato was already moving.

A precise elbow strike to the throat silenced the Chunin's cry, leaving him gasping for air. Minato spun and delivered a brutal knee to his ribs, the force caving them in.

The shinobi staggered, coughing blood.

Minato didn't hesitate.

With a swift slash of his kunai across the throat, the Cloud-nin collapsed, lifeless.

His first kill.

But there was no time to dwell on it.

The Jonin's smirk faded as he watched his comrade fall.

"You've got guts, kid," he admitted. "But you're not walking away from this."

Minato knew he couldn't overpower a Jonin in pure strength. He had to be faster.

He dashed forward, striking first with a high kick. The Jonin blocked it with ease but missed Minato's follow-up attack—a kunai stabbing straight toward his gut.

The Jonin twisted just in time, avoiding a fatal blow, but Minato's Wind Style: Gale Palm erupted from his other hand. The burst of wind slammed into the Jonin's chest, sending him skidding backward.

The Jonin recovered quickly, forming a lightning-infused hand sign. "Lightning Style: Thunder Fang!"

A crackling bolt of lightning shot toward Minato.

Minato's reflexes saved him—he dropped low, dodging just in time. The moment the attack passed, he sprang up, using the wind's momentum to increase his speed.

The Jonin's eyes widened.

Minato was already behind him.

"Leaf Whirlwind!"

His spinning kick smashed into the Jonin's skull, cracking bone. The Cloud ninja stumbled, dazed—but Minato wasn't done.

He leaped, kunai raised high.

A single, clean stab to the heart.

The Jonin's body stiffened, his breath hitching. Then, he fell.

Dead.

Minato exhaled, his heart pounding. Blood stained his kunai, his hands, the forest floor.

Namikaze Minato lived up to his reputation as a genius.

Within just a few short Back and forth battles, he annihilated the Cloud Shinobi.

After finishing the battle, Minato approached Fugaku.

While untying him, he asked, "Fugaku, how did you get caught by the Cloud Shinobi?"

"I was careless and fell into their trap," Fugaku admitted.

Minato wasn't surprised.

He knew Fugaku's strength well—there was no way he could have been captured under normal circumstances.

Though Fugaku had been saved, he was completely exhausted.

Moving even one step was difficult.

"Minato, I..."

Before Fugaku could finish his sentence, Minato suddenly lifted him into his arms and dashed away under the moonlight.

"Minato, you—"

Fugaku was stunned, unable to find the words to respond.

"You're injured. Just let me handle this," Minato said with a gentle smile.

The moonlight illuminated Minato's handsome face, making his perfect features even more striking.

[A/N : No BL this is Just Comedy]

Fugaku found himself blushing like a boiling teapot.

[A/N : 🤣🤣🤣]

"I never realized a guy could be this beautiful," he thought.

Under this moonlit sky, it felt as if Minato outshone everything else in existence.

"Minato, how did you get here so quickly?" Fugaku finally asked.

Minato squinted his eyes and smiled warmly.

"Because you're an important companion to me."

At those words, Fugaku's eyes widened slightly.

"Important companion...?"

At this moment, he finally understood why Mikoto was so obsessed with Kushina.

"Is this something that can be acceptable?"

Of course, Minato had no idea what was going through Fugaku's mind.

Kurama's Observed this situation

Elsewhere, Kurama, sealed within Kushina, received a system notification:

[Ding! Mission complete. Namikaze Minato has successfully rescued Uchiha Fugaku. Their bond has deepened.]

Kurama chuckled.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

"As expected of Minato. He never disappoints."

Kushina, who was linked to Minato's chakra, also sensed the outcome of the battle.

"Kurama, it seems like Minato saved Fugaku," she said.

She could clearly sense the familiar chakra signatures of Minato and Fugaku heading back toward the village.

"Yes, Kushina-chan. And now, Uchiha Fugaku won't be bothering Mikoto anymore."
