"Tailed beasts talking"
With Minato xxX
Moving through the battlefield, Minato was headed towards A, when suddenly the ground beneath his feet glowed and exploded a second later.
"Did we get him", a blonde-haired teen asked as he came out of a boulder.
"I doubt it," another man replied as he emerged from the ground, several others followed him, emerging from their hiding place.
"Stay alert" he announced.
"Hai, Baki-taicho" the men replied.
"Baki?" Minato repeated from his place at the top of a boulder, "I've heard that name before".
A Blonde-haired teen rushed forward and threw a clay-like substance at Minato,
"Die!" he yelled as he did so.
"Bakugo, Don't!" Baki tried to stop him, but it was too late.
The clay exploded as it reached near Minato, the boulder he was standing on was reduced to rubble and dust.
"Stop screaming" Minato retorted as he appeared behind Bakugo, "Your voice is very irritating".
"I'll kill-urkk" he was interrupted mid-scream as Minato punched him in the throat.
Bakugo fell holding his throat.
"I'll kill you if you scream like that again" Minato threatened as he turned away from the teen.
"Now, where was I?" Minato asked, mostly to himself "Yes, you are the one who faced Kakashi when he was sent on a mission near Takigakure", Minato remembered.
"Tell you what" Minato started, "I'll let you all live if you retreat now, I have no beef with you and frankly I don't give a damn if you live or die, I could kill all of you within seconds anyway. So, what do you say?".
Baki thought for a second and replied "I acce-".
Before he could finish, Bakugo rushed towards Minato with a kunai in his hand.
"Die!"
There was a yellow flash and Bakugo fell to the ground, his throat sliced open with blood gushing out.
This prompted all the others to start attacking Minato.
As Minato had said, It didn't take him for than a few seconds to kill all twenty of the Explosions Corps members.
Baki stood alone as others from his unit laid dead at his feet.
"They didn't deserve to die like this" Baki numbly whispered "He didn't deserve to die like this! He was just a kid! Why did you have to kill him?!" he started to yell as he finished his sentence.
"In any other situation, I wouldn't have killed him, but this is war, a war that your people started. Don't blame me for the deaths of your people when you are the ones who bought them into this mess. I even tried to spare you all" Minato spoke, his eyes as cold as ice as he looked at their dead bodies, "And what right do you have to blame me, you would have done the same had you captured Kakashi, and he was even younger than Bakugo".
Minato calmed himself and walked away from the massacre leaving Baki alone.
"War demands sacrifices but all it returns is suffering. That is why I hate wars".
Xxx With Kushina xxX
'This is bad, no matter how you look at it' Kurama retorted as he watched Kushina fight the version 2 transformations of the six jinchurikis, 'Even with my partial transformation, you won't be able to defeat more than 3 of my siblings if they decide to enter tailed-beast mode'.
'I Know' Kushina replied, 'They are slowly over-powering me', using the charka hands provided by the version 2 transformation, Kushina caught the two-tailed jinchuriki and smashed her into the four-tailed jinchuriki who was in the process of releasing a tailed-beast bomb, 'I'll have to lower their number before they overpower me'.
Blocking a lariat by Kurama's tails, Kushina caught B by surprise as she grabbed his leg and used him as a weapon to bash the other jinchurikis then threw him into the six tails.
Since most of the jinchuriki were still recovering, Kushina immediately began to create a tailed beast bomb, 'If I can defeat even 1 of them, this fight will become more manageable' .
With her bomb prepared, Kushina aimed it towards the still recovering B and the six-tailed jinchuriki and launched it.
"Bijudama (Tailed-Beast Bomb)"
Before the attack could reach them, a giant turtle jumped in its path and redirected it into the sky.
Kushina didn't get any time to react as suddenly a large white horse with a head similar to that of a dolphin head-butted her and launched her towards the turtle, who, using his three tails smashed her into the ground.
Kushina immediately got up and created some distance between them, the cloak protected her from the worst of the attack but she still suffered a broken arm and a leg which were already in the process of healing.
'It's too late now' Kurama stated 'They have already begun to enter the tailed beast mode. You know what needs to be done now, don't you?"
Kushina was silent for a few seconds after which she sighed and released her version 2 transformation.
'I know ' she replied and closed her eyes while taking a deep breath.
When she opened her eyes, she was standing in front of the nine tails who was locked in a wooden prison.
Walking closer, she came to stop near the sealed gate and sat down "It's good to see you again Kurama, it's been a while since I visited here" she said as she looked around her mindscape.
"It's... pleasant here" Kurama replied as he too laid down on the ground.
They stayed silent for few minutes as they enjoyed each other's company.
"You can't stay here much longer" Kurama started "They are getting ready to launch an attack."
"I know" she nodded as she got up and walked to the seal, "Let's get this over with".
She was about to pull off the seal when a hand grabbed her wrist, stopping her.
The hand pulled her back and away from the seal.
"What the ...?" Kushina whipped her hand out from the grasp and prepared to attack the offender, that's when she saw who the hand belonged to.
"Nnaruto?" She asked in surprise.
And indeed Naruto was standing in front of her, only this Naruto was in his early teens, around 13 years old.
"Kushina" Naruto started "How have you been, I do hope the other me is treating you well"
Kushina immediately rushed forward and hugged the chibi Naruto to her chest.
"Oh my god!" she exclaimed "I had forgotten how cute you were when you were young"
Naruto couldn't reply as Kushina had held his head in her bountiful chest.
As he struggled to get some air, Naruto finally managed to break free from her hug and jumped away from her.
Taking in huge breaths, Naruto exclaimed "You maniac! you almost killed me!".
Kushina just laughed it off as she attempted to hold him again but this time Naruto didn't let her.
Kurama cleared his throat to gain their attention, "There is a war going on outside and you are facing six of my siblings in combat but I guess smothering him is more important to you than that".
Hearing him Kushina immediately stopped her chase and adopted a neutral expression "I did what I had to, I have no regrets" she answered with a straight face making Kurama sigh in exhaustion.
"As I was saying" Naruto interrupted "I worked it into the seal so that I would appear within your psyche when you attempt to open it and release Kurama. It was meant as a precaution in case anyone else tries to open the seal forcefully".
"You mean to say, you've been inside me this entire time?" Kushina asked
Naruto blushed at the innuendo "Yes, in a sense I have".
"So, what now?" Kushina asked, not noticing his blush.
"Are you ready to open the seal?" Naruto asked after he calmed down a little "Both mentally and physically?".
" I am" Kushina replied with confidence.
Naruto stared at her for few seconds, measuring her resolve.
"I am ready" Kushina repeated, "I have trained for this moment for many years, I won't fail!"

Kushina opened her eyes, she was back on the battlefield. The tailed beasts had fired their Bijudama (Tailed beast bomb), the massive chakra bombs were closing the distance quickly, within seconds the bombs had reached Kushina, who had yet to move from her spot.
'Three minutes' Kurama spoke, 'That is your current limit'.
Kushina nodded, the bombs were now only a meter away, 'Three minutes are more than enough '.
There was a sudden flash of gold after which all the six Bijudama were all deflected away, some flying into the sky while others crashing into the distant mountains and exploding.
"What the hell was that?" The eight tails, Gyuki, asked, Kushina was hidden from their view due to the smoke and debris.
"It looked like she redirected them" Kokuo, the five tails replied.
"But that's-", Matabi, the two tails tried to retort but was suddenly interrupted when a massive golden arm suddenly burst from the ground and grabbed her by the neck.
"Suiton: Biju Rasenshuriken (Water style: Tailed beast Rasenshuriken)"
Another arm carried the massive water Rasengan and shoved it down her throat.
Matabi started to bloat as the blue fire around her body began to dwindle. Suddenly, her stomach expanded and burst open due to the Rasengan exploding inside her. The radius of the Rasengan covered most of her body, ripping it to shreds. As the attack finished, only a heavily injured Yugito remained, passed out on the ground.
"Matabi!" Son Goku, the four tails called out in worry, as he saw her disappear into the attack.
"Let's go, Kurama!" Kushina exclaimed as her golden cloak began to increase in size, slowly taking the form of a nine-tailed fox.
With a loud roar, Kurama, now as big as the other tailed beasts, punched Son Goku in the face and pummeled him into the ground. The three tails, Isobu tried to help by swinging his massive three tails at Kurama, but Kurama caught them, then with a mighty tug he lifted Isobu off the ground and smashed his hard shell onto the recovering four tails.
Suddenly, tentacles wrapped around Kurama's body, holding him in place.
"It's nice to meet you again Kurama" Gyuki spoke as he held Kurama in place, "Looks like you finally found a human you like".
Kurama grunted as he tried to break free from Gyuki's grasp "This won't hold me!".
"It's not meant to" Gyuki replied, "This is!".
With that, Gyuki sprayed ink from his mouth, blinding Kurama.
"Suiton: Mizuame Nabara (Water Release: Starch Syrup Capture)"
Saiken, the six-tailed slug, spew liquid all over Kurama, the sticky liquid was able to inhibit his movement and hold him in place. Gyuki quickly jumped back as Kokuo came running and slammed her horns into Kurama.
The 'Kurama' popped into smoke as Kokuo came to a screeching halt.
They all widened their eyes as they sensed an enormous chakra build-up a little distance away from them.
Honing in on the source, they saw Kushina surrounded by Kurama's head making a Tailed-beast bomb, it was as big as a tailed-beast.
"Shit!" Gyuki, Saiken, and the others cursed.
"Kyodai Bijudama(Massive Tailed Beast Bomb)!"
Kushina and Kurama launched the Bijudama in their direction, the massive purple ball covering the distance within seconds.
The three tails receded in his shell and tried to run away by rolling as fast as he could.
Gyuki, Saiken, Kokuo, and Son Goku tried to counter it with their Bijudama in hopes of reducing the impact.
It didn't work.
Kurama's bijudama crushed their attack without much resistance and detonated right in front of them.
BOOM!
The ground shook as the tremors from the bomb spread across the entire battlefield and continued beyond it.
The attack lasted for several seconds, its heat and shockwave could be felt across the battlefield.
As the attack died down, it left a crater stretching several miles.
Kushina shunshined near the fallen jinchuriki and checked their vitals.
The jinchuriki of the four tails, Roshi had died, along with him his Tailed beast had perished too.
A little distance away, the jinchuriki of three tails, a small boy whose name Kushina didn't know, laid in critical condition. She performed some first aid on him and applied a seal on him so he couldn't turn into a tailed beast again.
Kushina repeated the procedure on the other three who had also managed to survive, and sealed away their tailed beasts.
Sensing Kushina's sadness, Kurama spoke 'I know you feel bad for hurting them but if the situation was reversed, they would have killed you without any remorse'.
'I know' Kushina replied 'But it still doesn't make me feel any better '.
'That's because you are a good person with a kind heart. Those are one of the reasons why I put up with you so much '.
Kushina smiled, 'Thanks Kurama, that means a lot to me '.
Kurama Grunted in embarrassment, 'You are still a pain in my ass'.
