While Minato was thinking about these matters, Ning Feng quietly sat down nearby and waited.
In truth, this was Ning Feng's first time experiencing the transfer of a Tailed Beast.
Although he was already a Jinchūriki and could suppress the Four-Tails and Five-Tails, no one could guarantee that the Tailed Beasts wouldn't rebel.
Moreover, the power of the Nine-Tails was far beyond that of ordinary people.
In short—everything had to be handled with extreme caution.
"Feng, when you're ready, give me a signal."
"I'm going to release the Nine-Tails' chakra from Kushina first."
Minato glanced deeply at Ning Feng. After seeing him nod firmly, Minato shifted his gaze toward Uzumaki Kushina.
At this moment, Kushina had completely calmed down.
All the chakra within her body rapidly gathered inward, strengthening the seal suppressing the Nine-Tails. She hoped that the beast wouldn't cause any trouble during this critical moment.
Soon, pain appeared on her face, but she endured it stubbornly.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Minato took a deep breath.
He knew better than anyone how much Kushina had suffered since becoming the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.
Cold stares. Fear. Isolation.
Even after he became the Fourth Hokage, villagers still kept their distance from her.
Minato understood clearly just how much Kushina had sacrificed for Konoha.
Many times, he had considered freeing Kushina from the burden of the Nine-Tails.
But to stabilize his position as Hokage, Kushina endured it all without complaint.
After all, Jinchūriki were usually chosen from among the Kage's closest relatives or companions—this made them easier to control and strengthened the Kage's rule.
Truthfully, Minato would rather have given up that advantage than let Kushina continue suffering.
Now that someone was willing to share the burden of the Nine-Tails, Minato felt genuinely relieved.
More importantly, once Ning Feng possessed the Nine-Tails' chakra, his strength would undoubtedly rise to an entirely new level.
With that thought, Minato placed his hands gently on Kushina's shoulders.
Within moments, using his immense chakra, Minato's consciousness entered Kushina's inner mindscape.
Inside her consciousness, several thick golden chains suddenly shot out from her body, tightly binding the Nine-Tails and forcing it into place.
The beast struggled in pain.
These chains were the powerful sealing technique of the Uzumaki Clan—Adamantine Sealing Chains.
In the original story, Karin Uzumaki had used this same technique to restrain the Gedo Statue, the Ten-Tails' shell, which had nearly killed Sasuke.
Soon, Minato exchanged a glance with Kushina.
Using Flying Thunder God, he instantly appeared behind the Nine-Tails.
Before the beast could react, Minato had already activated the Four Symbols Seal, successfully separating and sealing half of the Nine-Tails' chakra.
After completing the process, Minato's consciousness returned to reality.
One could clearly see a Four Symbols Seal mark appearing on his right hand, glowing faintly with golden light as it connected to Kushina.
Once everything was ready, Minato turned toward Ning Feng.
The latter nodded calmly.
In truth, Ning Feng had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Clap!
Minato and Ning Feng pressed their palms together.
Under Minato's control, the powerful Nine-Tails chakra surged rapidly into Ning Feng's body.
As the transfer began, the seal restraining the Nine-Tails suddenly loosened slightly.
At that instant, both Minato and Ning Feng clearly sensed the violent aura of the Nine-Tails.
Especially Ning Feng—he felt a terrifying killing intent rushing toward him.
But the Nine-Tails' killing intent wasn't just sharp hostility.
It was filled with darkness, decay, rage, and endless negativity.
Anyone who came into contact with it would likely be affected by that oppressive aura.
However—
No matter how fierce the Nine-Tails' aura was, to Ning Feng it was simply a somewhat stronger Tailed Beast.
Suddenly, within his mindscape, the Four-Tails and Five-Tails began trembling violently.
The next moment, their previously calm eyes lit up.
At the same time—
Ning Feng's eyes turned blood-red.
Like a streak of crimson light cutting through darkness, his Mangekyō Sharingan appeared, radiating a cold and sinister brilliance that seemed to look down upon everything in existence.
The moment the Mangekyō Sharingan appeared—
The terrifying Nine-Tails aura rushing toward Ning Feng abruptly stopped.
Even the Nine-Tails' chakra began trembling uneasily.
Then, from the seal in Minato's palm, a deep and cold voice echoed out.
"Who… exactly are you?!"
"To possess such terrifying Mangekyō Sharingan power…"
"Could it be… that man…?"
At the mention of "that man," the Nine-Tails trembled again, clearly showing fear.
"Hmm. Can't this young master possess such powerful Mangekyō Sharingan?"
Ning Feng replied calmly.
He could clearly feel that the Nine-Tails chakra being transferred by Minato had significantly reduced its resistance.
Clearly—
Even Tailed Beasts followed the law of the strong.
"Looks like the Nine-Tails is afraid of you, Feng."
Minato noticed the beast's fear and teased lightly.
Soon, after half of the Nine-Tails' chakra had completely flowed into Ning Feng's body, Minato withdrew the sealing technique and breathed heavily.
Sealing the Nine-Tails and transferring half of its chakra had consumed an enormous amount of his chakra.
Meanwhile, Ning Feng clearly sensed a major change within his mindscape.
Now, alongside the Four-Tails and Five-Tails—
The Nine-Tails had also appeared.
And with its arrival, Ning Feng could distinctly feel that his strength had increased dramatically.
Especially the Nine-Tails' chakra—
It was now something he could draw upon freely whenever he wished.
Inside the mindscape, the Nine-Tails spoke cautiously.
"Respected Jinchūriki… Lord."
"Kurama's chakra… is yours to command."
