The Fourth Hokage's death

"A barrier?" The dense Chakra was extremely well concealed, and the sheer amount of Chakra made Yang Xing's expression turn serious. "This amount of Chakra couldn't have been created by one person. Madara shouldn't be using this much Chakra now."

Since Madara has no physical form, his Chakra is indeed limited. The sheer amount of Chakra he is currently releasing is clearly the result of a combined release by several Jonin and more than a dozen Chunin.

In other words, Konoha has more than ten elites, and for some reason, they have planted two powerful individuals in ambush.

Yang Xing's bad premonition proved this point.

With a swift leap, Yang Xing broke through the barrier in no time, and upon entering, immediately discovered a man and a woman surrounded by Genjutsu.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina both looked unwell, with multiple bloodstains on their bodies. Minato Namikaze, in particular, appeared to be at his last gasp.

"Am I too late?" The two were seriously injured, Yang Xing had no Medical Ninjutsu to treat them.

Breaking through this barrier and bringing the two of them out will take some time.

Moreover, he couldn't guarantee that the ninjas lying in ambush around him wouldn't attack while he was breaking the barrier.

"Minato-sensei!" Yang Xing saw Minato fall to the ground and immediately transformed into a beam of light, appearing in front of the two.

"Yang Xing?" Minato Namikaze looked up and his face lit up with joy when he saw Yang Xing.

"Minato-sensei? What happened?" Looking at the exhaustion on Minato's face, it seemed that this protracted battle had been going on for a long time. This Fourth Hokage must have been fighting for countless hours.

It's highly likely that the person lying in Minato isn't just one person, and it certainly isn't Madara anymore.

Kushina's words confirmed Yang Xing's thoughts. "People from Konoha, former members of Konoha's Anbu."

"What's the meaning?"

"They knew the Uzumaki Clan's secret sealing technique. There was a traitor in Konoha assisting them, and that person was a high-ranking member of Konoha." Kushina raised her head, gritting her teeth as she forced herself to speak, "They used the Hundred-Man Secret Technique to seal my Chakra, and Minato spent dozens of hours here fighting them to protect me."

Minato's exhaustion was clearly due to being worn down for dozens of hours, and finally being successfully ambushed.

This was clearly the work of a traitor from Konoha.

"Damn it, where did these guys go?"

"Yang Xing?" Just as Yang Xing was about to leave, Minato reached out and grabbed Yang Xing's arm. "I have a favor to ask of you."

Looking at Minato's expression, Yang Xing understood the Fourth Hokage's thoughts perfectly. "As for the Nine-Tails, I can go and take it down right now."

"No, no." Minato Namikaze shook his head, his weak face serious. "The Nine-Tails cannot be killed. What I need to ask of you is to capture the Nine-Tails. The Nine-Tails is only being used. The Nine-Tails' power is immense."

"Minato-sensei, are you looking for someone to seal it away?"

"Yes, the Uzumaki Clan does indeed possess various secret techniques capable of sealing the Nine-Tails. With sufficient Chakra, they can suppress it, allowing its existence to reside within one person," Minato Namikaze said weakly, gazing at the sky. "It will undoubtedly bring immense benefits to that person."

Has anyone been chosen to Minato-sensei?

Minato, then gazed at the baby again and said slowly, "That person is in the hospital in Konoha, a newborn baby. I've already made preparations. When you go, with your Sharingan, you'll spot that special person immediately."

Yang Xing frowned slightly. "Isn't that Minato-sensei's son?"

Minato Namikaze fell silent; it seemed he had made up his mind about this.

Minato understood perfectly well that the Nine-Tails was merely bait; the mastermind was someone else, and this person even included members of Konoha. This matter was definitely not simple.

Killing the Nine-Tails would not truly save Konoha. Minato clearly sensed that something bad was about to happen, but he was powerless to change the situation and could only entrust everything to others.

The most suitable and trustworthy person is none other than my son.

This was his resolve as the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.

"Minato-sensei, although I don't entirely agree, I will still help." Yang Xing stood up abruptly and said to Minato without the slightest hesitation, "As for the Nine-Tails, I will definitely seal it inside and make it that Jinchūriki's helper."

Minato smiled, a smile of satisfaction on his face. Seeing Yang Xing about to leave, he couldn't help but say, "Yang Xing, the secret technique..."

Yang Xing turned his head and simply showed his eyes to Minato: "No need, with this, it can't do anything to me."

"Mangekyō?" Minato Namikaze smiled, gazing at the sky, and closed his eyes. "As expected, you are my most prized disciple, haha!"

With a smile on his face, Minato Namikaze closed his eyes in a deep sleep.

Without lingering, Yang Xing turned around and jumped out.

Staying here now is pointless, and Minato Namikaze is indeed suffering from severe internal injuries. No one can treat such severe internal injuries unless Tsunade is present.

Unfortunately, it will definitely be a day before Tsunade arrives, because Yang Xing had already traveled hundreds of miles ahead of Tsunade.

At present, it is impossible for Tsunade to arrive at Konoha within a day.

This is unrealistic.

Instead of grieving there, it's better to quickly deal with the Demon Fox ahead; this was also Minato-sensei's last wish.

Outside Konoha, the ninjas who had been guarding the village for 36 hours to prevent the Nine-Tails from attacking it all looked exhausted.

Stepping over the corpses of countless comrades, and constantly rushing forward to their deaths, some ninjas felt a sense of despair.

"No, it's over, we're finished!" Someone clutched their head, unable to hold back their grief, and cried out, "Fourth Hokage, why haven't you come yet?"

"The Fourth Hokage and Fourth Hokage wife are both missing. I'm afraid they're both in grave danger." Someone's face was pale as he stared at the Nine-Tails, which was raging like a ferocious beast, lashing out at the charging ninjas. His face was deathly white. "Ah, if this continues, Konoha is doomed! The Lord Third is already injured. Who can save Konoha?"

"Who will save us, God?"

Some people cried out in despair, praying for God's arrival. Just as everyone around was filled with despair, a black dot rapidly approached from the sky. The dark figure was clearly a child.

The child's face stunned the group of ninjas.

"Look over there, who's coming?"

"That one, Yang Xing, Yang Xing!"

"The genius who defeated the Tsuchikage? That's great, that's great! Yang Xing didn't abandon us, he really didn't!"

The crowd cheered, and the ninjas, as if they had seen a savior, shouted with joy.

This cheering also alerted Nine-Tails to a certain individual.
