There was a kind of strength called cheating!
The two men, who were lurking outside the Hokage Building, preparing to steal information about the defenses of Konoha's main camp, naturally noticed the commotion outside the village.
"Looks like your intelligence won't sell." Tōka said calmly, gazing at the red glow on the horizon.
"I didn't expect Kumogakure and Iwagakure to be planning a decisive battle so soon." Sasori changed his hand seals and withdrew the Jutsu Formula.
Unexpected, yet also expected.
Tōka's eyes flickered slightly. Killer B, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure, was not just a powerful weapon for Kumogakure.
Moreover, he is the Raikage's sworn brother. Although they are not blood brothers, their relationship is more like that of blood brothers.
The Raikage's actions were entirely expected.
What was unexpected was that the final battle came rather quickly.
"Does Kumogakure and Iwagakure have a sure chance of winning?" A hint of doubt flashed in Tōka's eyes. The Raikage might go mad, but the Tsuchikage wouldn't follow suit.
Ōnoki may be a bit stubborn, but he's a shrewd old man.
He would never gamble with the lives of 20,000 Stone Ninja to accompany the Raikage in a brawl.
"We need to go back first, or we'll be discovered." Scorpion's voice rang out, interrupting Tōka's thoughts.
"Okay, let's go back first."
In the boundless Forest, a strong wind blew by, causing the branches to sway and the Forest to rise and fall like a rolling green wave.
A terrifying surge of chakra swept through the Forest, revealing a clearing in the heart of the dense woods.
The Forest looked as if it had been turned upside down, with crisscrossing claw marks visible on the yellowish-brown ground.
With blond hair and wearing a white Kage's Ceremonial Robe, Minato Namikaze had chakra gathering at his feet and was attached to the top of a Big Tree.
Minato stood upright, facing the wind, his Kage's Ceremonial Robe billowing in the turbulent air currents.
"Two-Tails, I will absolutely not let you advance another step!"
Snap, Minato bit his thumb, letting the blood flow into his palm.
Hai-Wu-You-Shen-Wei!
Summoning Technique!
Bang!
A huge cloud of White Smoke rose up, and a massive black shadow appeared within the white smoke.
Yugito, Complete Tailed Beast Transformation Yugito a tailed beast, possessed his own consciousness and roared and bared his teeth at Minato, who was standing on the giant shadow.
A foul stench swept over us, and the air was thick with the scent of death.
The Two-Tails Matatabi represents death!
"Hmph!" Yugito's eyes turned cold, and he didn't bother to waste words with Minato. The Ice Blue flames burning around his body seemed to expand.
The dense chakra in the air frantically condensed.
The black and blue chakra mixed together, gradually forming a huge black and red sphere.
"Tailed Beast Bomb?!" Minato's expression was solemn. Behind him was the Konoha Main Camp, and behind the Konoha Main Camp was the Konoha.
We absolutely cannot let the Tailed Beast Bomb hit us!
Minato twisted his wrist, drawing a circle in his palm with the Three-Pronged Kunai he was holding, and then grabbed it with Three-Pronged Kunai.
Then he quickly Hand Seals, his hands becoming a blur of afterimages in front of him.
Buzz!
Chakra coalesced, the mark is complete!
"Roar!!" Yugito, transformed Yugito a giant cat, opened his blood-red maw, unleashing a terrifying pressure that propelled a massive chakra ball out from in front of him.
Tailed Beast Bomb!!
The giant chakra ball exploded with a roar, leaving a scarlet trail in the air, like a huge red beam of light piercing through the sky.
The entire Forest seemed to sag, as if the earth itself had sunk.
The terrifying gust of air uprooted Big Tree that would take several people to encircle, sending broken branches and withered leaves flying through the air and swirling wildly to both sides.
"I won't let you pass!"
Minato opened his eyes, revealing a resolute look, and his hand seals changed Jutsu Formula, forming a huge net.
It was clearly a barrier created by the Flying Thunder God Technique!
Call out!
A suffocating aura suddenly swept over, and the Tailed Beast Bomb shot out, crashing squarely into the barrier.
Minato's eyes narrowed, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them...
The handprint changes!
Rumble!!
A deafening explosion rang out, and a huge blood-red Mushroom Cloud shot into the sky, unleashing a violent hurricane that swept across the entire camp.
The Tailed Beast Bomb exploded not at the Konoha camp, but at the Iwagakure's northwest North Camp!
The storm raged through the camp, tearing a huge hole in the neatly arranged camp in an instant, and countless ninjas were swept directly into the air.
Countless unlucky individuals were crushed to death by the Tailed Beast Bomb.
The Iwagakure camp, which was filled with a murderous aura just a moment ago, was now a ruin, with countless corpses lying in pools of blood.
"Raikage, what are you doing?!" Ōnoki's eyes widened in fury at the sight, bloodshot from the sight.
A pair of angry, scarlet eyes stared fiercely at Raikage, like a ferocious beast about to erupt.
His hands, clenched into fists, made a cracking sound.
Sudden!
Ōnoki suddenly opened his clenched fists, and chakra frantically gathered, forming a cluster of white light spheres in his palms.
Upon seeing the devastation at the Iwagakure, the Raikage initially Ichiraku.
Immediately afterward, sensing the anger emanating from Ōnoki, the Raikage changed, and a shadow immediately fell over his face.
"Tsuchikage, that was Minato Namikaze's doing!"
Raikage corrected him in a booming voice, also hoping that Ōnoki wouldn't have mistaken the enemy!
Indeed, this scene would not have occurred if Minato Namikaze hadn't used the Flying Thunder God Technique to transmit the Tailed Beast Bomb to the Iwagakure camp.
However, knowing that Tailed Beast Bomb Minato Namikaze's signature technique was still used in front of him, the extremely Ōnoki couldn't help but suspect that this was a conspiracy by the Kumogakure.
Is the Raikage planning to use Minato Namikaze to weaken the Iwagakure's fighting force?
The Seed of evil have been sown, taking root and sprouting in Ōnoki's heart, nourished by dark emotions, growing rapidly.
The murderous aura grew increasingly intense, and Raikage realized something was wrong!
"Tsuchikage, calm down!" The Raikage stared intently at Ōnoki, who was panting heavily, and shouted in a deep voice while on guard.
"If we win this war, how about we give you an extra ten percent of the spoils? Consider it compensation for the losses suffered by the Iwagakure!"
How much profit is 10%? That would be an astronomical figure.
The Raikage didn't want to give in, but he had no choice. Ōnoki's eyes told him that if this incident couldn't be resolved quickly...
It seems the alliance between Kumogakure and Iwagakure will be broken.
Then it won't be two major hidden villages besieging Konoha anymore, but a three-way battle. The previous night attack by Minato Namikaze caused a significant drop in the strength of Kumogakure.
Not only did they lose countless Elite Ninja, but the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was also captured.
On the Battlefield, the Kumogakure suffered heavy losses and became the weakest link.
The Raikage didn't want to, and dared not, fall out with Ōnoki; he only wanted to end the battle as soon as possible and rescue his younger brother.
Although Ōnoki was heartbroken by the loss of Iwagakure, he still retained his rationality. After gaining enormous benefits, he ultimately suppressed his desire to kill Yugito.
"Hmph!" Ōnoki snorted coldly and dispersed the Dust Release he had formed in his hand.
"Let's make our move, Kakuzu- san." Sensing Ōnoki's gradually subsiding killing intent, the Raikage's gaze fell on a Black-Robed Man behind him.
"The three of us joined forces to defeat Minato Namikaze, and with the help of the Two-Tails, Kumogakure and Iwagakure launched a pincer attack on Konoha Main Camp."
The plan was simple, and brutal.
Soldiers against soldiers, kings against kings!
In order to deal with Minato Namikaze, the Raikage spared no expense in hiring Kakuzu Rogue Ninja Kakuzu Takigakure!
Kakuzu nodded slightly to show he understood. He dared to assassinate even the First Hokage, the god of the Ninja World, let alone a mere greenhorn.
Kakuzu is old enough to be Minato Namikaze's grandfather, so it's perfectly normal for him to look down on a "young" brat.
"Tsuchikage, do you have anything to add?" The Raikage, worried that the old Tsuchikage might sabotage him behind his back, asked again to confirm.
"I'll provide air support!" Ōnoki turned his face away, really not wanting to look at the Raikage's face.
He was worried that if he saw the Raikage's face, he might impulsively unleash a Dust Release attack!
Whoosh!
Ōnoki's body suddenly felt light, and he flew directly into the sky.
Boom!!
A loud bang came from the center of the Battlefield, where Gamabunta and Minato worked together to smash Yugito, who Tailed Beast Transformation, away.
The enormous Matatabi drew an arc through the air before crashing down, crushing vast Forest and leaving a deep, yellowish-brown chasm in its wake.
In an instant, Yugito was knocked back a thousand meters!
"Attack!" Raikage roared, and lightning flashed, enveloping his body and transforming him into a tiny figure.
Bang!
He stomped on the ground, sending rocks flying.
With Raikage transformed into an arc of lightning and charged into the Battlefield; his speed was already beyond Raikage.
Kakuzu felt a flash of lightning before his eyes. When he saw the Raikage again, the Raikage was already at Gamabunta's feet.
Sizzle...
Lightning flashed and electric arcs pulsed.
"Drink it!!"
With a roar, the Raikage lowered his body to gather strength and then leaped high into Minato air, quickly approaching Minato, who was standing on top of Gamabunta's head.
"Gekkō Raito Ninja meets Suzuki Riki's sword!"
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!
"Gamabunta, watch out!" Minato flicked his finger, and the Three-Pronged Kunai he was holding in his palm was thrown straight at the Raikage.
With a whoosh, the Three-Pronged Kunai tore through the air and shot away.
Upon hearing Minato's warning, Gamabunta lowered his body and swung his sword back at the flash of lightning!
A cold glint flashed as Raikage sensed the chill approaching from behind. A shadow crossed his eyes, and a massive burst of chakra erupted from beneath his feet.
Boom!
With a powerful explosion, the Raikage's body was propelled forward in an incredible motion.
Gamabunta's greatsword slashed down, but missed its mark and struck the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
As the Raikage dodged Gamabunta attack, Minato's Three-Pronged Kunai also grazed past his ear.
"Die!" The Raikage's ferocious face resembled that of a vengeful ghost, his crimson eyes fixed intently on Minato.
The two were no more than three feet apart!
For a ninja, a distance of three feet is but a fleeting moment; for Elite Ninja is proficient in speed, a distance of three feet cannot be measured in time.
For the Yellow Flash, renowned throughout the Ninja World, and the Raikage, whose speed is beyond the reach of sight.
Three feet is infinitely close to nothingness...
Boom!
A violent burst of Lightning Release Chakra erupted, flashing like a bolt of lightning striking down and exploding in the air.
Time seemed to stand still as lightning shone down, and an atmosphere of fear and oppression instantly enveloped the entire land.
Just then, a flash of golden light completely shattered the power of the Lightning.
The world came alive again.
The Raikage's speed was incredibly fast, beyond the limits of vision.
And the speed of the Minato...
That breaks down the barriers of space!
The ultimate speed can turn back time!
The jet-black Three-Pronged Kunai reflected a solitary moonlight, and the Yellow Flash once again coalesced into the figure of Minato.
Snap!
The Three-Pronged Kunai fell into his palm, and Minato clenched his fists, gripping the Kunai tightly, and pushed it forward forcefully.
A cold glint flashed, reflecting the moonlight, as the sharp Three-Pronged Kunai drew a silver arc, heading straight for Raikage's back.
Sudden!!
Fire Release: Head Hunter!
An outrageous, massive-scale Fire Release Ninjutsu, like a tsunami, swept in, turning everything in sight to ashes.
The intense heat could be clearly felt even from a great distance.
Minato's eyes darkened. He knew that if he continued his actions, he would definitely hurt the Raikage, but he would surely be engulfed by this sea of fire.
The decision was made in an instant, by Minato.
With One Flash golden light, Minato's figure vanished from the engulfing sea of fire.
After Minato withdrew his attack, the Raikage immediately reacted, shifting his foot and stepping on Gamabunta's head, using the force to unleash a burst of extreme speed.
Whoosh! Raikage transformed into an arc of lightning and shot away, Head Hunter.
Just as Gamabunta was about to be engulfed by flames, the Summoning Technique was dispelled!
Bang!
All that remained was a huge plume of White Smoke...
"Dust Release: Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
Just then, a cold voice rang out, and a cluster of white light descended from the sky.
The moment Minato regained his footing, he was completely enveloped by a Pure White beam of light.
Space freezes, the scene stands still at this moment...
The silence here did not affect the intensity of the battle on the front Battlefield, with countless Stone Ninja and Cloud Ninja relentlessly attacking the Konoha Main Camp.
The Konoha Ninja were determined to protect this last line of defense.
He desperately squeezed out the last bit of chakra in his body to release Ninjutsu, and with the last bit of strength in his arm, he threw the Shuriken.
The Battlefield was incredibly brutal, with countless severed limbs flying everywhere.
Blood washed over the Forest like a torrential rain, instantly shrouding the lush green woods in a Blood Mist.
All that met the eye was a glaring expanse of blood red...
Just then, Tōka and Xie arrived at the Battlefield with the reinforcements from Konoha.
"Leave that big cat to me," Scorpion said in a low, hoarse voice, glancing at the rampaging cat.
Gamabunta returned to Mount Myōboku, and Minato was surrounded by the three Kage-level: the Raikage, the Tsuchikage, and Kakuzu. No one could stop Yugito, who had transformed into a giant cat, from slaughtering the Konoha Ninja.
Sasori's timely intervention proved his worth, and on the other hand, he also showed some interest in the Tailed Beast.
"Then I'll leave it to Mr. Feiliu." Hyuga Hiashi was the commander of this new force. When he heard Sasori take the initiative to deal with the Two-Tails Jinchūriki, he immediately addressed him respectfully as Mr. Feiliu.
He then immediately turned around and shouted loudly at the ninja squad behind him.
"The Two-Tails has been stopped by Mr. Feiliu, let's deal with the Cloud Ninja and the Stone Ninja!"
"Yes!" With the most terrifying enemy stopped, Konoha's morale soared, and they roared as they charged straight into the Battlefield!
Tōka, however, stood Budong, his gaze fixed on the Battlefield at the Kage Level.
Raikage, Tsuchikage...
"The other one seems to be... Kakuzu?" Tōka raised an eyebrow, originally planning to recruit this guy into Akatsuki after the Chunin Ninja Exams.
I never expected to meet under these circumstances and in this way.
"Heh... I have to say, it really is fate!" Tōka's lips curled up slightly, and his dark eyes blinked.
It looks exactly like a cunning little Fox, as if it's plotting something wicked again.
