He Was a Great Kazekage

In the next instant, iron spikes spread outwards from the Third Kazekage as the center.

Soon, this narrow area transformed into a vast Iron Sand Barrier.

Magnet Release: Iron Sand World Method!

Minato Namikaze immediately went to Kyohiko's side, grabbed his shoulder, and was about to leave, but the next moment, the iron net opened, separating the two of them.

The Third Kazekage flew down from above.

Within the Iron Sand World Method, he is extremely fast and can fly nimbly. Unless facing ninjas with special abilities, he is practically invincible.

This is why he is known as the strongest Kazekage.

Streams of Iron Sand coalesced into a blade.

Minato Namikaze twisted and turned in the gaps, while Kyohiko directly used his Chakra to shatter the surrounding Iron Sand blades.

How many times can you use Chakra?

The Third Kazekage sneered.

He admitted it.

As a boy who is only ten years old, Kyohiko Yoshimine has extremely high talent.

He possesses the abilities of Jonin at a young age, and many Jonin would be defeated in just a few moves against him. However, he always has one weakness.

Chakra!

That's exactly what his design is about.

At this moment, Rasa also controlled the Gold Dust, surging towards Minato Namikaze.

One person attacks Kyohiko, while the other distracts Minato Namikaze.

Not only did he take action himself, but he also teamed up with an elite Jonin...

The Third Kazekage clearly valued Kyohiko highly!

The Shibi Aburame sank to the bottom.

He manipulated the swarm of insects, which rapidly surged into the Iron Sand World Method, but they were all quickly surrounded and contracted by the Iron Sand and Gold Dust, keeping the swarm out.

Within the Iron Sand World Method, the Third Kazekage condensed iron needles that flew downwards.

Magnet Release: Iron Sand Shower!

There was barely enough room for a person to stand around Kyohiko, and he only managed to withstand wave after wave of attacks by constantly unleashing bursts of Chakra.

"Kill!"

"Kyohiko!"

Minato shouted.

However, the boy disregarded everything, leaped up, and charged into the sky, resolute and determined.

At that moment, the Konoha Ninja roared and fought back the enemy in front of them, hoping to help the two inside the Iron Sand World Method.

However.

In addition to harassing Minato Namikaze, Rasa also had the power to harass them.

Because the main force against Kyohiko and Minato Namikaze is still the Kazekage within the Iron Sand World Method Iron Sand World Method, he can move freely within it.

Seeing Kyohiko charging towards him, the Third Kazekage conjured an iron spear in his hand, his figure shifting as he flew behind Kyohiko, preparing to pierce him with a single blow.

A slight smile played on his lips.

Even the most talented person is still just a child!

Although powerful enough, their judgment of the situation was not rational enough. Sometimes retreating was not a mistake. Being too stubborn and arrogant would only bring disaster to the ninja army.

He maneuvered the iron spear to fly behind Kyohiko.

In an instant, Kyohiko spun around in mid-air and slashed the iron spear with a hand chop.

Iron Sand grew all around him, squeezing his living space.

Chakra exploded, sustaining life.

But at the same time.

The Third Kazekage noticed that the strange patterns on Kyohiko's face had disappeared, and his aura was rapidly declining.

Now!

He clasped his hands together, and the Iron Sand Iron Sand above him condensed into a huge cuboid, which then fell from above.

Minato Namikaze appeared beside Kyohiko in an instant.

The next second, he reached up to the sky and teleported the Iron Sand creation away.

However, more Iron Sand spread and grew over the area.

The Iron Sand World Method continues!

A steel spike pierced directly into Minato Namikaze's arm and leg.

Within the Iron Sand World Method, the Third Kazekage was completely at ease and extremely confident, but just as he was about to kill the two, Minato Namikaze vanished into thin air.

The next moment, the Third Kazekage felt a strange sense of crisis.

He didn't have time to determine the source of the crisis.

Just as it was about to fly away, a loud creaking and cracking sound came from underground.

The earth is cracking and there are earthquakes.

what happened?

Both Konoha and Sunagakure were stunned.

but.

"Everyone, retreat!"

Kakashi shouted.

The Konoha Ninja immediately moved away.

The next second, he felt a powerful suction force coming from below, far more terrifying than normal gravity!

finally.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the ground around them collapsed, revealing three strange iron pillars.

The coiled iron pillars, freed through Sealing Technique and Summoning Jutsu, broke through the earth layer by layer, reaching the sky near the ground.

The Third Kazekage felt increasingly uneasy.

He hadn't guessed what the trap was, but he sensed something was wrong and immediately pulled the trigger to retreat.

Then, the Third Kazekage took to the air, preparing to escape.

but.

Underground, Orochimaru, his Shadow Clone, and the Ninjutsu Class each controlled the iron pillars, continuously injecting Chakra into the lines.

This requires an extremely large amount of Chakra.

The group below had been lying in ambush for a long time, and the Chakra they unleashed was more than enough to sustain them for a short period.

Even if it's just for a fleeting moment, that's enough.

The massive Iron Sand Barrier was instantly attracted by the enormous magnetic force and collapsed with a roar!

"What?"

Ebizo, watching from a distance, was filled with shock and panic.

He understood.

Konoha's goal has never been defense, but rather to lull them into complacency and carelessness!

The entire plan was designed to make the Third Kazekage and Rasa believe that Magnet Release's flight ability was safe, and that they could safely attempt to kill Kyohiko.

In reality, the opponent's target has always been the Kazekage!

"Save Lord Kazekage quickly!"

He shouted.

However, the Third Kazekage, who has always been considered invincible, actually needs to be rescued?

No one had anticipated this situation.

even.

Many people instinctively tried to cover for and help, only to find that their puppet parts were also drawn to the puppet, causing it to immediately collapse and fall apart.

This magnetic force is enormous!

Rasa was terrified.

He was originally flying on a sand mat, but the trace amount of iron inside the sand mat was attracted by a strong magnetic force, which instead dragged him towards Konoha.

Rasa had no choice but to jump down from above.

Fortunately, the altitude wasn't too high, and there were people from Sunagakure below, so they landed safely.

but.

The Third Kazekage wasn't so lucky.

The Third Kazekage, who had spread his wings intending to fly away, was immediately dragged down by his wings, and his figure plummeted downwards in an instant.

He immediately dispersed the Iron Sand.

Although the speed of the fall was stopped, but--

The next moment, a figure appeared before him.

Kyohiko Yoshimine?!

How could that be!

How do you still have Chakra?

Furthermore, these strange patterns reminded him of a terrifying rumor—

It is said that Hashirama Senju possessed a power capable of subduing Tailed Beast!

Could it be?

The Third Kazekage made a connection in his mind.

He was unaware that Kyohiko was currently in Sage Mode; it was only by chance that he assumed Kyohiko might possess abilities similar to the First Hokage.

At this moment, the Third Kazekage felt boundless fear and frustration.

Damn it!

Is this another Senju Tobirama?

This is clearly another Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi!

Had he known this would happen, how could he have become an enemy of Konoha?

Regret is useless.

At this moment, the Third Kazekage was only thinking about how to survive, or --

Inform your subordinates of the intelligence you have gathered!

Either don't become enemies with Konoha, or kill Kyohiko now.

His mind raced, but the magnetic force below remained immense. In fact, after absorbing his Iron Sand, the magnetic force in that area was even stronger than before!

His Kekkei Genkai was useless, while Kyohiko's speed far exceeded his expectations.

The only thing we can use right now is Shadow Clone.

The Third Kazekage actively amplified the magnetic force, causing his figure to plummet downwards, avoiding the oncoming Kyohiko.

However.

The figure in the sky vanished into nothingness.

Shadow Clone?

His mind went blank.

The next instant, a figure shot upwards like lightning from the ground.

Bang!

The Lightning Style Chakra released in the form of Strength of a Hundred exploded on his fist, transforming into the most terrifying attack, directly piercing through the Third Kazekage's Shadow Clone.

However, the Third Kazekage also created a cloud of Iron Sand beneath him.

Iron Sand fell, hurtling towards Kyohiko.

Then, Kyohiko Hand Seals and created Shadow Clone.

He threw a punch with his other hand.

Even the hard Iron Sand was futile before the Sage Power and the Strength of a Hundred, and was shattered and disintegrated by a single punch.

His Shadow Clone appeared in the water.

Water and lightning formed a water dragon coiled with electric current, rushing upwards.

Immortal Technique: Thunder Lightning Water Dragon Bullet!

The Third Kazekage was powerless to help.

He shouted as loudly as he could.

"Run! Run!"

Then, he was wrapped in layers of Iron Sand.

The moment it struck the Iron Sand, the water dragon roared, and the violent impact slammed it straight to the ground.

The ninjas of Sunagakure never imagined that one day, their proud Magnet Release would become the death warrant for the Third Kazekage and the puppeteer.

At this moment, their only remaining threats to Konoha are Wind Style and poison.

However.

Neither of these methods could save the Kazekage.

Hearing the roar, Ebizo's eyes blurred with tears. He knew that the Third Kazekage was doomed.

"Ebizo, please let me go again..."

As Rasa was speaking, he saw a water dragon, stronger and more terrifying than before, rise from the sky in the distance and violently crash into the Third Kazekage.

At this moment, Kyohiko, holding a water dragon in his hand and stepping on the Third Kazekage, was so majestic and arrogant that he was invincible.

He was stunned, then despair set in.

Why is this guy named Kyohiko Yoshimine so powerful?

and.

Why are they able to counter Magnet Release?

He couldn't understand it.

A faint shout came from afar.

Run!

Run!

Ebizo gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat!"

He finally made up his mind.

They can't stay any longer.

If we stay any longer, all the Sunagakure will die; we must preserve a spark of hope for the village.

In an instant, the army retreated, leaving only the water dragons in the distance impacting the black sphere like falling meteors.

All the Sunagakure here know this.

That was their Kazekage.

However.

He's going to die!

Boom!

The Iron Sand exploded in all directions like bombs.

The terrifying Chakra ultimately transformed into the most surging magnetic force, while Orochimaru and the Ninjutsu Class's Chakra gradually weakened underground.

He finally mastered the magnetic force.

but.

He only had his last moments left.

Kyohiko grabbed the water dragon, and with his other hand, he unleashed terrifying power, smashing through the Iron Sand protection he had created with Magnet Release.

so.

He could only use his last bit of strength to blast all the Iron Sand away.

"Retreat!"

Minato Namikaze's pupils contracted.

He Flying Thunder God to Kyohiko's side with the Thunder God Technique, and in an instant, he took Kyohiko and the Third Kazekage away at the same time.

Half of the Iron Sand exploded in all directions, transforming into swords and knives that attacked everything around them erratically.

Fortunately.

After the Third Kazekage was taken away, Orochimaru regained control of the magnetic force.

Those Iron Sand weapons, halfway through their flight, were pulled back by the magnetic force, causing their impact to weaken and lose their original power.

Although many people were still injured, the lethality has been minimized.

The land was ravaged.

A few ninjas who were already injured were caught in the Ninjutsu's blasts and were instantly killed.

Orochimaru was panting heavily underground.

Controlling two electromagnets by himself is a considerable drain on his energy.

Otherwise, he would definitely have sent people to hunt down the Sunagakure.

But now...

He used Sealing Technique to put away the three iron pillars.

They'll be useful later!

With his remaining Chakra, Orochimaru led his Ninjutsu Class back to the surface from underground.

"The war is over!"

He said in a low voice.

A thunderous cheer suddenly erupted from the crowd.

Even Shibi Aburame was like that.

He had considered that Kyohiko and Orochimaru might have ulterior motives, and that their goal might be to ambush Sunagakure again, but he never expected—

Their target is the Third Kazekage!

If you're going to gnaw, gnaw on the hardest bone.

Finally, it worked!

His facial muscles trembled, making it impossible to tell whether he was crying or laughing.

This battle was completely unexpected.

Orochimaru turned his head. "However, the greatest contributor is not me; all the planning this time was done by Kyohiko."

After saying that, he smiled and looked towards the Land of Wind.

"The Sunagakure won't dare to come again for several years!"

Destroying someone's pride is far more terrifying than destroying their physical body.

A few ninjas may die, but they can be reborn and trained. However, the breaking of their prized Magnet Release is a catastrophic disaster for Sunagakure.

This means that their Magnet Release and Puppet Technique will be greatly reduced.

Unless they can figure out how Konoha did it, Sunagakure is unlikely to attack Konoha again.

A thunderous cheer erupted from the Kikyo Mountain, while some of the ninjas began sweeping the surrounding area, dealing with the remaining enemies and capturing the survivors as prisoners.

After a thorough sweep, only devastation remained outside Kikyo Mountain.

On Kikyo Mountain, Kyohiko was still shaken.

Even the Third Kazekage was terrified by his final outburst. Fortunately, Minato Namikaze was quick enough to use Flying Thunder God Technique to take him and the Third Kazekage away at the same time.

Otherwise, even if he hadn't been injured, the Konoha ninjas would have suffered heavy losses.

"As expected of Kage Level character!"

Kyohiko sighed.

Minato Namikaze nodded, his expression complex. "Yes, he unleashed his last strength for the sake of Sunagakure. It was truly a terrifying will."

"To Sunagakure, he was a great Kazekage, but to us, he was an enemy."

Kyohiko sighed, "This is war. There is no right or wrong, only interests and positions."

Is there no way to eliminate war?

Minato Namikaze had mixed feelings, and was somewhat confused.

This sense of confusion didn't just arise recently; it's a question that has been lingering in my mind for some time now.

How can we achieve peace?

Kyohiko looked into the distance, his gaze seemingly piercing through time and space, gazing into his past life.

Even in that era, in a world with thousands of years of history, no one could discover true peace, so how could he so easily make such a claim?

If I had to say...

"Perhaps, eliminating differences of opinion and allowing everyone to share common interests could lead to peaceful coexistence, but this requires a catalyst and sustained effort."

Kyohiko said.

Then, he looked down at the Third Kazekage.

Even in death, the other's eyes remained open, gazing towards the Land of Wind.

He was a great Kazekage.
