Kushina's Hidden Potential
These days, the Nine-Tails chakra leaking from Kurama through Kushina's body had gradually weakened the seal, loosening it by sixty percent.
Just as it had happened with Uzumaki Mito, the initial release was the most significant, immediately weakening the seal by forty percent. After that, the process slowed down, gradually depleting Kushina's resistance.
So far, the seal had loosened by sixty percent.
Inside her, Kurama was also experiencing an incredible growth in intelligence due to Kushina's abilities. His mind evolved rapidly, adapting to the billion-fold learning potential hidden within his chakra.
The moment he returned to his human-like consciousness, he immediately performed the Clone Jutsu.
A single puff of smoke quickly became a dense fog, filling the entire sealed space with identical clones of himself.
"Good grief," Kurama thought, amused. "This isn't just a simple Clone Jutsu anymore. This has already reached the level of a Forbidden Jutsu—the Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu."
Ordinary clones were just illusions, but Kurama had transformed the technique into something far beyond what it was meant to be.
As the Nine-Tails, the last thing he lacked was chakra.
