Naruto: I'm Nine-Tails and My Host is Kushina-Chapter 57 - : Gap in Strength
Chapter 57 - 57 : Gap in Strength
The Hyuga Clan had sent investigators.
Hyuga Hikari had two close friends.
One was Uzumaki Kushina, and the other was Uchiha Mikoto.
In the eyes of the elders, Uzumaki Kushina was insignificant, barely worth consideration.
Their focus had always been on Uchiha Mikoto, the wife of the Uchiha clan leader and a powerful kunoichi.
But what they never expected was that the supposedly ordinary Kushina would unleash devastating power.
In an instant, she had killed an elder of the Hyuga clan.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Mikoto, the one they had initially feared, seemed almost subdued in comparison.
Elder Hyuga Ginroku cursed under his breath.
"Damn it... How did this happen? Who is this Uzumaki Kushina, and how does she have such terrifying strength?"
No one in the Hyuga clan had imagined that Kushina would dare to commit murder outright.
And instead of targeting low-ranking members, she had executed an elder in cold blood.
If the Hyuga clan retaliated, it would mean a full-scale confrontation—not just with her, but with all of Konoha.
Did this mean that Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto had already decided to turn their backs on the village?
Could they even escape from Konoha?
The Hyuga clan had severely misjudged Kushina.
In the span of mere seconds, an elder had been eradicated.
And it wasn't over yet.
A crimson blur flashed as Kushina appeared beside Hikari in an instant.
With an arm wrapped around Hikari's waist, she activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.
In the blink of an eye, Kushina and Hikari reappeared next to Mikoto.
No one in the Hyuga clan had been able to react in time.
Even Mikoto, her Sharingan fully active, couldn't help but acknowledge the speed.
"Kushina is too fast... My Sharingan couldn't even follow her movements."
In her golden chakra cloak, Kushina moved at speeds rivaling the Fourth Raikage at full power.
Even the Mangekyō Sharingan would struggle to keep up with her sheer velocity.
Kushina turned to Hikari, her voice soft yet filled with unwavering determination.
"Hikari, are you alright? If anyone dares to hurt you, I'll kill them all."
Hikari gave a small smile, eyes brimming with trust.
"I knew you and Mikoto would come for me."
The words were spoken lightly, yet every Hyuga present heard them.
A dreadful silence settled over the clan members.
They feared what would happen next.
If Hikari named someone, that person would die.
There was no doubt about it.

Uzumaki Kushina had already proven that she wasn't bluffing.
Women were far more ruthless than men.
Kurama, sealed within Kushina, understood this truth better than anyone.
Kushina had killed Hyuga Takamaru, an esteemed elder of the Hyuga clan.
Mikoto and Hikari were visibly shaken.
Mikoto leaned in and whispered to Kushina,
"Are you sure about this, Kushina? This is extreme."
Kushina simply grinned.
"It's fine. Kurama told me to do what I want. And honestly? I've wanted to do this for a long time."
Kurama, huh?
Mikoto contemplated this.
She thought back to the words of the man who had granted her strength.
If he had no objections, then there was no need to hesitate.
Kushina and Mikoto placed Hikari behind them, standing as her shield.
Their voices rang out in unison.
"Don't worry, Hikari. Leave it to us. Nothing will happen to you."
Hikari's pale eyes glistened with unshed tears.
How lucky she was to have such loyal friends.
A bond between kunoichi that transcended even the strictest of clan laws.
But she couldn't always rely on them.
This was a matter concerning her clan.
She had to stand on her own.
The Hyuga Clan was not a place where outsiders could enter and leave freely.
As one of Konoha's oldest and most powerful clans, they would never let this transgression go unanswered.
"Seize them!" Hyuga Ginroku ordered.
A group of Hyuga warriors surrounded the trio.
They moved with precision, their stance fluid like flowing water.
Hikari's voice rose in warning.
"Kushina, Mikoto, be careful! This is the Eight-Person Gentle Fist Formation. Its power is equal to my Eight Trigrams: One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms!"
Kushina only smirked.
"That's cute. I hope they're hungry because I'm serving Rasengan."
Eight chakra arms emerged from her back, each extending toward an enemy.
"Chakra Hands Rasengan!"
Before they could react, the eight Hyuga warriors were snatched up and slammed into a swirling blue sphere.
They didn't stand a chance.
An instant kill.
Kushina had learned this from Minato, but she didn't have the patience for proper training.
So, Kurama had simply fused the knowledge into her mind.
"You still want to fight?"
A crimson flash, and in an instant, Kushina was behind Hyuga Ginroku.
Her foot slammed into his back, sending him flying several meters before he crashed into the ground, unconscious.
At that moment, every remaining Hyuga hesitated.
The Red Flash had struck again.
They couldn't even track her movements.
Hyuga Hiashi's face was dark with rage and disbelief.
His Byakugan flared as he took in the battlefield.
"How is Uzumaki Kushina this strong?!"
She wasn't moving like a mere Jōnin.
She was faster, stronger—bordering on something far beyond human.
Hiashi exhaled sharply, forcing himself to stay calm.
Continuing this fight would only lead to more casualties.
The only hope left was the Third Hokage.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived in time, perhaps they could salvage the situation.
If not...
If this news spread, the Hyuga clan would be the laughingstock of Konoha.
Worse, they would be ridiculed by the entire shinobi world.
An elite clan, humiliated in their own compound, suffering heavy losses at the hands of a single woman.
A stain on their history that would never be erased.
The day Uzumaki Kushina walked into the Hyuga estate had forever changed their legacy.
Inside the Hokage's office, the doors burst open.
A panting Hyuga messenger fell to his knees.
"Hokage-sama! It's urgent! Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto are wreaking havoc in the Hyuga compound! People are dying!"
