And while Fugaku was Konoha's earliest Mangekyō user, imbued with the Will of Fire and a debt of gratitude like a high-interest loan, the eyes in his sockets were still just Mangekyō Sharingan, not Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

So, regardless of his resolve, regardless of how much Dōjutsu he unleashed, he could only evolve his Susanoo to its third form, granting him access to the Tengu armor, Yata Mirror, and Totsuka Blade. He couldn't truly compare to Pain's regressed, yet still perfect, Susanoo.

The Shinobi World—was about chakra.

Unleashing your Chakra wouldn't magically grant you Susanoo.

Having someone to protect wouldn't transform it into a "Shining Perfect Susanoo." Shouting about expelling all curses wouldn't magically give you red facial markings and allow you to overpower a female titan. Declaring your intention to slay demons wouldn't instantly grant you demon slayer marks...

Therefore, in this Susanoo battle against Pain, Fugaku Uchiha was at an absolute disadvantage.

It should have been a swift defeat. But thanks to his divine weapons, Fugaku had managed to hold on.

But holding on—was the limit of Fugaku's abilities.

He couldn't counterattack. The moment he swung the Totsuka Blade, it would be blocked by a light-saber.

Suddenly, a deep blue light-saber changed direction, bypassing the Yata Mirror's absolute defense, and struck the silver Susanoo's left shoulder, its blade embedding deep within the Tengu armor.

The immense impact force, transmitted through the silver Susanoo, resonated deep within the earth. Instantly, with the ground beneath the silver Susanoo as the epicenter, the shockwave manifested as tangible cracks, spreading outwards, intertwining with the fissures from the previous battle, forming a continuous web.

The earth was collapsing!

Fugaku grunted, unable to withstand the pressure any longer. He fell to one knee, struggling to maintain his stance.

Another bolt of lightning struck, landing a mere ten centimeters from Fugaku.

Fugaku's eyes filled with a death-defying resolve—

Another light-saber strike landed on the silver Susanoo's right shoulder.

Fugaku's chakra could no longer sustain the Totsuka Blade—it vanished. He desperately gripped the Yata Mirror, deflecting the blows from the other two light-sabers.

Pain, hovering above, looked down coldly at the struggling, kneeling Fugaku, its voice laced with mockery. "Is this—all you can do?"

"You, who dared challenge a God, can only manage this much?"

"Heh heh..."

"This is all I can do, yes. But you—are no God~" Fugaku, cornered, suddenly laughed. "And—you're not getting away."

Tears of blood streamed from Fugaku's eyes.

The patterns in his Mangekyō seemed to flicker. A strange chakra erupted. He roared, "Chains of Heaven! Thunder Prison!"

"What?!"

Fugaku's smile and the strange Dōjutsu unnerved Nagato. He instinctively tried to withdraw his light-sabers and evade.

But his light-sabers were embedded deep within the silver Susanoo's arms. The thick Tengu armor had, at some point, transformed into chains, like those wielded by the Shinigami, binding the blue Susanoo, immobilizing it, even preventing it from dispelling.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.

Thunder roared from above.

The overcast sky suddenly cracked open, revealing the fury of Heaven. A silver dragon of lightning snaked across the firmament, its thunderous roar shattering the night's tranquility.

A flash of lightning illuminated the darkness, momentarily turning night into day, its silent roar carrying the authority of the Thunder God. In that instant, all creation seemed to freeze, save for that single bolt, carving a path through Heaven.

Before Pain's astonished gaze, the lightning dragon—descended upon him—

Pain frantically channeled Dōjutsu, reinforcing the Tengu armor, attempting to repel this natural fury.

However, the power of lightning was irresistible. It tore through the night's silence with unparalleled might, illuminating every corner of Heaven and earth.

A piercing shriek—Minato and the Preta Path, locked in combat, vanished simultaneously.

"FUGAKU!!!"

"Waaah—"

"Uuuuh—" Within the Falls of Truth, amidst two piercing infant cries—Sasuke and Naruto, one after the other, entered the world.

Tsunade slowly exhaled, wiping the sweat from her brow.

The fierce sounds of battle from outside the Falls of Truth constantly pulled at her focus, but she absolutely could not intervene at this moment.

She had to complete the delivery and guard against "Black Zetsu" with its stealth ability from interfering. Simultaneously, she needed to divert a significant amount of chakra into Kushina's spiritual world, assisting her in subduing the sealed Nine-Tails.

The Nine-Tails—was an undeniably troublesome foe.

"Yugito, take care of them!"

"Eh—Yes!"

Tsunade handed the newborn Naruto and Sasuke to Yugito, who was assisting, then turned to Kushina, whose brow was furrowed in pain.

"Kushina, hold on a little longer. I'm coming in!" Without further hesitation, she clapped her hands, releasing the Yin Seal.

In the next instant, black and red markings, like intricate cursed seals meticulously crafted by Gojo Kaigetsu, spread across her skin.

Yugito stared in astonishment at Tsunade, who seemed to have transformed in an instant, an immense amount of chakra erupting from her.

A faint green glow emanated from Tsunade's palm. With a slap, she pressed it against Kushina's abdomen, pouring her warm chakra into Kushina's body, entering her spiritual world.

The training at the Falls of Truth—involved unsealing the Tailed Beast within one's spiritual world, confronting it head-on with a mortal body! frёeωebɳovel.com

If the Jinchuriki won, they gained the Tailed Beast's chakra, their power surging! If the Jinchuriki lost, their sanity would be consumed by the Tailed Beast, the beast would break free from its seal, and manifest in the physical world!

After capturing the Tailed Beast's chakra with the Jinchuriki's own, it was stripped away. Chakra could only be captured by chakra—this was common Shinobi knowledge. Finally, directly seizing the Nine-Tails' chakra from its body signified victory!

Upon entering her spiritual world, Kushina unhesitatingly unsealed the Nine-Tails, engaging it in a chakra tug-of-war.

"So, you desire to control my power..." The Nine-Tails sneered, its voice suddenly rising. "You dare covet my proud chakra?!"

"Huh?!"

"You who scorn Tailed Beasts! I will sever your filthy soul, slice it, mince it!"

"They call me a beast, but even the fiercest beast knows a shred of pity. I know no pity, therefore I am no beast. They think I am defeated, bound, but I will never yield."

"I am a Tailed Beast, the King of Tailed Beasts!"

"I am—Kurama!"

"I stand unbowed! I will unleash Tailed Beast Bombs upon those who have tormented us for eternity! Those who imprisoned me shall pay a painful price!"

"You think you can defeat me?!"

With a roar, the Nine-Tails lunged forward, engaging Kushina in a fierce tug-of-war.

As Mito Uzumaki's direct student, Kushina, in her prime, could have easily subdued the Nine-Tails with her sealing jutsu. Even if she couldn't win the chakra tug-of-war, her life wouldn't have been threatened.

But now was different. Her physical body was giving birth, while her spirit wrestled with the Nine-Tails. Kushina was at her weakest, her mind constantly at risk of being overwhelmed by the Nine-Tails' chakra.

This was what people understood as "a Jinchuriki is most vulnerable during childbirth."
