Naruto: I'm Nine-Tails and My Host is Kushina-Chapter 139 : Orochimaru Surrenders

.

---

It was too fast—Orochimaru couldn't react in time.

He was completely overwhelmed by Kurama.

Not only did this man possess the power of the Nine-Tails, but he also wielded the Mangekyō Sharingan.

How the hell was he supposed to fight this battle?

Orochimaru was no fool. He knew how to assess the situation.

And right now, if he continued fighting Kurama, he had only two possible outcomes: severe injury or death.

Was it worth it?

Absolutely not.

When the hell did such a powerful shinobi appear in Root?

Orochimaru had never even heard of him before.

A bead of sweat dripped down his forehead. His instincts screamed at him—this man was dangerous.

He exhaled slowly, raising his hands in a sign of surrender.

"Kurama, I admit defeat. If this fight continues, I fear for my life."

The aura emanating from Kurama was suffocating.

Orochimaru's hands and feet trembled slightly.

This was a sensation he had never experienced before—not even when he fought the so-called "Demi-God" Hanzō of the Salamander in the Second Great Ninja War.

But this man before him... this Kurama... was on an entirely different level.

Orochimaru had always pursued strength, an unrelenting hunger to surpass his limits.

And this... this was the ideal strength he had dreamed of.

He slowly lowered his head.

Following Kurama—surrendering to him—was the wisest choice he could make at this moment.

Kurama chuckled. "Smart choice, Orochimaru."

"Lord Kurama, those who understand the flow of power will always stand above the rest. I'm not like those foolish shinobi clinging to their outdated beliefs."

At that moment, Danzo approached with several Root operatives in tow.

Danzo cast a glance at Orochimaru before turning toward Kurama.

"Lord Kurama, you and Orochimaru have caused quite the commotion."

The entire battlefield lay in ruins, a direct consequence of Orochimaru's foolish decision to fight Kurama.

Lord Kurama?

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed at Danzo's words.

Danzo had sent Kurama here, right? Wasn't he supposed to be one of his subordinates? A member of Root?

Then why the hell...

Why the hell was Danzo speaking to him with such deep respect?

"Danzo, isn't Kurama one of your men? Your subordinate?"

Danzo scoffed, casting Orochimaru a disdainful look.

"Orochimaru, don't insult me. From the very beginning, I never said that Lord Kurama was my subordinate."

Danzo's lips curled into a smirk.

"He is my master."

...Master?

Orochimaru's breath hitched.

He finally understood.

He had misunderstood everything from the start.

It all made sense now.

The sheer overwhelming power Kurama displayed...

How could such a being ever be a mere subordinate?

It was the other way around.

Danzo and his entire Root faction were nothing more than Kurama's subordinates.

Everything Orochimaru had assumed was wrong.

A shiver ran down his spine.

For the first time in years, he felt a genuine sense of fear.

Danzo extended his hand toward Orochimaru.

"Orochimaru, welcome to our ranks."

Kurama's gaze lingered on Orochimaru, his expression unreadable.

Orochimaru hesitated only for a second before slowly lowering himself onto one knee.

"Lord Kurama, I, Orochimaru... I am willing to serve you."

His words were genuine.

Before absolute power, he had no choice.

To refuse was to die.

And Orochimaru had far too much left to discover in this world.

He wouldn't allow himself to perish so soon.

He lowered his head further, his voice steady.

"What is your next command, Lord Kurama?"

Kurama smirked.

"Continue your experiments, Orochimaru. For now, that is all."

Orochimaru exhaled.

The tension finally left his body.

It turned out that Konoha had already fallen under Kurama's control.

No wonder he hadn't heard about it earlier.

But the most terrifying thing of all...

Was how Kurama had seized control of the entire village.

Before leaving, he cautiously asked.

"Lord Kurama, if I may... Your power over the Nine-Tails..."

Kurama chuckled.

"Oh, that? You can think of me as a Perfect Jinchūriki."

A... Perfect Jinchūriki?

And of the Nine-Tails?!

The realization hit Orochimaru like a ton of bricks.

No wonder his summons had fled in terror.

No wonder that power had shaken him to his core.

At this moment, he understood everything.

Perfect Jinchūriki were far more powerful than a wild Tailed Beast.

A Perfect Jinchūriki could fully harness their Bijū's power without consequence.

And Kurama...

Kurama possessed the strongest of the nine.

Orochimaru struggled to even imagine the kind of destruction Kurama could unleash if he ever went all out.

Uchiha Madara had once used his Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails.

Senju Hashirama had subdued it with Wood Release.

But neither of them had ever truly wielded the full might of the Nine-Tails itself.

And yet...

This man had achieved what no one else could.

Senju Kurama was a walking, breathing miracle.

Orochimaru clenched his fists.

For the first time in his life, he found himself admiring someone.

Kurama only smirked at him.

If he told him that he was actually the original Nine-Tails itself, Orochimaru's jaw would probably hit the floor.

The issue with Orochimaru had been settled.

Now, Kurama turned his attention to Uchiha Mikoto.

At home, Kurama was alone.

Kushina had already gone to the Uchiha compound.

Right now, she was probably on her way back with Mikoto.

Due to overuse of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Mikoto had developed severe myopia.

She needed treatment.

But her slow and cautious pace was pissing off Kushina.

So, naturally, Kushina did what Kushina does best.

She picked Mikoto up and carried her like a damn princess.

"K-Kushina! What are you doing?!"

Mikoto struggled in embarrassment.

"Relax, Mikoto. You act like I'm about to eat you or something."

Kushina grinned, speeding through the village with Mikoto in her arms.

Naturally, this attracted a lot of attention.

"Hey... isn't that the Hokage?!"

"Yeah! She's carrying the Uchiha Clan Leader!"

"Holy crap, does Hokage-sama swing that way?!"

"Duh. You think any man in the village could actually handle her?"

"Makes sense. Guess she had to look elsewhere, huh?"

Minato and Fugaku, standing nearby, witnessed everything.

Fugaku chuckled.

He already knew about Mikoto's tendencies.

And...

Well, he had to admit, Minato was pretty damn attractive.

He turned toward him, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Minato, do you have any idea how beautiful you are?"

Minato took a step back, visibly uncomfortable.

"Fugaku, what the hell?"

Fugaku simply grinned.

"Just stating the truth, my dear Minato."

Minato sighed.

"...I hate this village sometimes."
