Someone Else Arrived
Outside the stone pagoda.
The open space on the mountaintop is not large.
It wouldn't feel very spacious if at least seventy or eighty people were crammed together.
Uchiha Genso pulled a chair out of the tower and placed it on the steps in front of the stone tower. He sat on it with his legs crossed, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, leisurely puffing out smoke.
Ahead of him Cloud Ninja, who were on high alert.
Under Xi's leadership, the Cloud Ninja and Uchiha Genso are facing off.
The two sides were separated by an open space fifty meters apart. The open space was littered with shredded flesh and blood. The outlines of human figures imprinted on the ground could be barely discerned. The Forehead Protector, cut in half by a sharp weapon, bore cloud emblems.
These horrific corpses were all Cloud Ninja in life, and elite members of the Anbu) at that.
However, the elites were blown up halfway before they even got close to Uchiha Genso, turning into a pile of mangled flesh.
No one saw clearly what happened. Seeing no action from Uchiha Genso, the Cloud Ninja were in an uproar. The unknown danger made Xi hesitant to act rashly. He could only pray that the Lord Raikage could deal with the enemies inside the tower, or that reinforcements from the village would arrive soon.
"Shisui, what's the next step?"
Asuma turned his head and asked.
"We don't need to do anything, just watch the show. This is a problem for the Cloud Ninja, and we don't need to get involved for now."
"Uchiha Shisui said softly."
"But if we just sit idly by and do nothing, the Cloud Ninja suffer, and we probably won't benefit either?"
Hong felt somewhat uneasy.
She had a very bad feeling about Uchiha Genso; sitting there, he resembled a humanoid disaster, exuding an aura of destruction.
"It's alright. Minato has already been informed about what happened here. We don't need to get involved in the follow-up work. Our main task is to take care of the child." Shisui reached out and ruffled Naruto's hair.
The latter wore a sour face, clearly displeased.
His fight with Rock Lee is still undecided, and he's in a very bad mood right now.
The Genin were all gathered together, with the Jonin standing guard by their side. Those who failed the first exam had long been sent off the mountain, and those who remained were all considered to be of high quality.
Protecting these precious materials and gems is the most important task for the Jonin.
Hearing what Shisui said, the Jonin were somewhat relieved.
With Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique, distance is no longer a limitation, and reinforcements can be deployed at any time.
However, they dared not let their guard down as long as Minato did not arrive.
"Lord Xi, what should we do? This can't go on like this!"
The voices of his subordinates echoed in his ears.
Xi frowned, staring at Uchiha Genso's feet, hesitant.
He was a sensory ninja and could clearly detect several violently fluctuating Chakra within the stone tower. The Third Raikage's Chakra was stable, and so far there had been no unexpected incidents. However, the other strange Chakra were fluctuating in strength, which seemed to be a bad sign.
It was precisely because of this observation that he did not rush to take action.
Another reason is that Uchiha Genso was also a ruthless character.
He hadn't yet figured out how the other side had killed six elite members of the Anbu in an instant. The Anbu's experts were as fragile as newborn babies, turning into piles of rotten flesh without any power to resist.
Even if such a powerful figure could be defeated using the people around him, it would result in heavy losses, making it impossible for him to interfere in the battle inside the tower.
The options are too limited.
hope felt like her brain was about to boil.
To be honest, besides the Cloud Ninja, there are also many Jonin from Konoha and Sunagakure here, and each of them is one of the best Jonin.
If we could get their help, dealing with Uchiha Genso would be much easier.
But--
Xi looked at the group of Jonin who Genin like mother hens guarding their chicks.
He couldn't help but smile wryly.
Under such circumstances, it's simply impossible to persuade these Jonin to help.
Just then, another unexpected event occurred.
"This is troublesome, Minato."
A voice suddenly rang out.
With a blink of an eye, another person suddenly appeared in his field of vision. In his perception, it was a vast and boundless Chakra, like a boundless ocean.
He only sensed a similar aura in Killer B and Yugito Nii.
Moreover, compared to Killer B and the others, the aura of this visitor was far more powerful and unfathomable. Just the part he sensed made Xi subconsciously hold her breath.
His short, fiery red hair was as messy as wild grass, his eyes were sharp like a wild beast, and his shirt was open at the chest, revealing a corner of his muscular chest.
Just standing here, one feels the weight of a mountain pressing down on them. The weaker Cloud Ninja closest to them instinctively hunched their backs and lowered their shoulders, truly as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs.
Uzumaki Katsuki, Konoha's natural disaster.
hope's heart pounded; he saw a glimmer of hope.
He understood why this person was here; he must have come for Senju Zen and Uchiha Genso, in order to reclaim their bloodline and prevent the power of the Senju and Uchiha from flowing out.
Regardless of their true purpose, the arrival of Konoha's natural disasters on the battlefield is undoubtedly a major boost.
"It was nothing."
Minato stood beside Katsuki and, having received a message from the Toad, used the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring Katsuki over.
"I'll leave the rest to you, Katsuki."
Minato glanced at Uchiha Genso, then looked away.
"You go and rest for a while! I'll play with the kids for a bit." Katsuki waved her hand.
Minato smiled slightly, a flash of golden light appeared, then disappeared again, and the next second he appeared next to Naruto.
The sudden appearance of Katsuki caused a stir not only among the Konoha ninjas, but also among the ninjas from the Sand Village, Cloud Ninja, and other smaller ninja villages.
"Father."
"Lord Katsuki."
Why do natural disasters occur?
Some were excited, some were afraid, and chaos broke out in the crowd. The few Grass Ninja shrank back and retreated to the back of the crowd. They still vividly remembered the scene of Katsuki's rampage in Kusagakure not long ago.
Katsuki heard Shuyuan's voice, glanced over, grinned, waved to her son, but didn't go over.
His gaze was fixed on Uchiha Genso had stood up from his chair and assumed a defensive posture as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Dad, why is Uncle here too?"
Naruto asked impatiently.
"This time, the enemy is more troublesome..."
Minato didn't say much. He looked around and, after confirming that everyone was safe, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, he did not expect that Senju Zen and Uchiha Genso would target the Third Raikage; he had always thought that they were aiming at the Jinchuriki of the Cloud Ninja.
Fortunately, since it involved the Jinchuriki of the Cloud Ninja, they couldn't intervene, so they simply sent most of the Jonin here to protect the Genin's safety.
As things stand, Konoha has not been affected in any way.
The only one caught in the trap is the Third Raikage. Having left Kumogakure and losing his large number of Cloud Ninja guards, he is now in a predicament and might very well suffer a disastrous defeat.
The sounds from within the stone tower were deafening; the battle was clearly extremely fierce.
"Minato-sensei, what do we do next? Should we help the Cloud Ninja?"
Uchiha Obito and asked in a low voice.
"No rush, Katsuki alone is enough. We just need to keep an eye on these little ones for now, and leave the rest to Katsuki."
Minato's explanation was similar to what Shisui had said before.
However, with Minato and Katsuki present this time, no one questioned the decision. Konoha's natural disasters and the Yellow Flash were two indisputable symbols. (To be continued)
