The Four-Headed Hellhound also broke through the building's walls, causing a commotion among the people inside, but they were all protected by the Katsuyu.
Only one of them was not protected by Katsuyu, and that was Namikaze Minato.
Namikaze Minato was engulfed in orange Chakra, and even the Katsuyu around him couldn't get close.
Namikaze Minato had been holding back his anger for a long time. He had a mission to protect someone and hadn't had a chance to take action. Now, Pain had come knocking on his door. He was really worried about not finding an enemy.
The two giant beasts glared menacingly at the group of people inside, but Namikaze Minato, who had seen it all, paid no attention to them.
"Ah, it's so lively here! There are so many people!" A man with an overactive, energized voice appeared. He stood atop the Four-Headed Hellhound, carrying a Triple-Bladed Scythe on his back, wearing the same black robe with fiery clouds, and his Rinnegan.
Yamanaka Inoichi a glance and exclaimed in surprise, "You're Hidan from Akatsuki!"
"It was you and your Lord Jashin who ordered me to reap you!" Hidan glared at Yamanaka Inoichi and Ibiki Morino, who had interrogated him before, his Delia clenched in hatred.
He was the only one who could inflict pain on others through his Jashin rituals of torture. This was the first time he had been tortured and had his memories collected by the Konoha Anbu Torture and Interrogation Force.
Hidan's volatile and impulsive nature caused him to immediately lose his temper. He raised his Triple-Bladed Scythe and leaped towards Yamanaka Inoichi and Ibiki Morino, sweeping it horizontally.
"Boom!"
The figure in mid-air, before even landing, was kicked away by a golden figure and shot into a nearby building.
"So fast!"
"As expected of the Fourth Generation Lord."
"You guys go quickly, I'll take care of them!" Namikaze Minato didn't say he would stop them, but instead said he would take care of his opponents, which showed his confidence in his own strength.
"Yes, advisor to the Anbu."
Yes, the fourth generation.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you."
"Let's go!" Yamanaka Inoichi glanced at the ruins and waved for his men to retreat.
The black-robed Anbu member, along with Shizune, Yamanaka Inoichi, Ino Yamanaka, Ibiki Morino, departed in another direction.
" Hidan, if it's not according to plan, don't come out," the Animal Path said helplessly.
"Hmph, I can't stand it!" Hidan jumped out of the ruins, staring at Namikaze Minato blocking his way.
"Scorpion, help me take him down and release all your things."
The "Fresh-faced Boy of the Animal Path " is none other than Sasori of the Akatsuki, an S-rank missing-nin from Sunagakure, who has now been transformed into the Animal Path by Nagato.
" Pain, the task I assigned you is crucial."
"I don't care, they all want the Lord Jashin to judge them." Hidan raised his Triple-Bladed Scythe again and charged towards Namikaze Minato, a completely mindless straight charge.
The Four-Headed Hellhound and the giant rhinoceros beside them moved together, swinging their arms and crushing towards Namikaze Minato, completely disregarding whether Hidan would be affected.
The orange-haired scorpion produced a scroll from its back. After breaking the seal, a large number of puppets flew out from it, numbering in the hundreds.
" Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets "
Namikaze Minato also used his son Naruto's signature Ninjutsu to deal with the overwhelming number of opponents.
" Multi Shadow Clone "
Next up was Namikaze Minato's solo performance. With multiple Shadow Clone working together, Specialized Kunai flew wildly through the air, densely packed like rain.
"Swish, swish, swish"
Hidan was hit by several Rasengan in succession, flying through the air until his body shattered.
The giant rhinoceros and the Four-Headed Hellhound were blasted away by a combined attack from Namikaze Minato using numerous Rasengan.
Sasori manipulated a large number of puppets to defend himself, but they were continuously destroyed by the approaching shadow Shadow Clone of Namikaze Minato.
"This Namikaze Minato, as expected of the Yellow Flash of Konoha, combined with his Shadow Clone, is so fast that even the Rinnegan can't detect his true form."
Namikaze Minato Shadow Clone continuously created balls to destroy the puppets at an astonishing speed.
" Summoning Technique "
" Summoning Technique "
The Animal Path Scorpion is like a summoner, attacking from a distance and constantly summoning Summoning Technique beasts, including giant crabs, giant birds, giant lizards, giant centipedes, and giant cows, essentially turning the place into a zoo.
He kept unsealing a large number of puppets to protect himself, including the Third Kazekage, who used Magnet Release to attack Namikaze Minato.
" Magnet Release: Iron Sand Drizzle "
A large amount of Iron Sand suddenly shot out from the puppet, turning five or six of Namikaze Minato Shadow Clone into white smoke.
" Magnet Release: Iron Sand Gathering Assault "
Several Iron Sand quickly formed and shot out at Namikaze Minato.
" Big Ball Rasengan "
Namikaze Minato's Shadow Clone were not to be outdone, using Rasengan to directly shatter them, unleashing Iron Sand.
Hidan suffered the most, being transformed into the Human Path of the Six Paths Puppet. He wasn't particularly strengthened, only possessing slightly better Taijutsu and the Rinnegan's extraordinary perception. Unlike Sasori, who had the Animal Path granting him easier control over puppets and the support of numerous summoning beasts.
Thus, Animal Path Sasori and Human Path Hidan engaged in a tug-of-war with Namikaze Minato, trading blows and exhausting their Chakra.
The fight between the three men created the spectacle of hundreds of ninjas battling it out, leaving the Anbu members watching on the sidelines sweating profusely.
Encountering such an opponent left Namikaze Minato quite helpless. It was only because the battlefield was in Konoha that he could have cleared the area with Wind Release: Wind Style: Rasenshuriken and Tailed Beast Bomb long ago; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone through all this trouble.
"Are there really only two enemies?"
"It feels like a hundred-strong army is attacking Konoha."
"Yes"
"Four generations of masters, and one person blocked them all."
The Anbu Ninja weren't escorting the intelligence department staff to their evacuation whispered among themselves.
The Specialized Kunai that Namikaze Minato fired could not even get within a few dozen meters of Sasori; they were all deflected by the Third Kazekage Puppet's Magnet Release.
A large number of Specialized Kunai landed on the ground and piled up dozens of meters away.
"This is Magnet Release? This is really a headache!" Ninja tools are all made of metal, so no matter how fast Namikaze Minato threw them or how tricky the angle, they were still bounced off.
Namikaze Minato even considered picking up stones and other objects, marking them, and throwing them in. Unfortunately, without polishing or processing, the speed of the throw was greatly affected, and the weight and texture significantly impacted the feel of the object. He gave up after a few attempts.
During the battle, he would occasionally rescue villagers who hadn't had time to escape from the buildings, something only Namikaze Minato could do.
Namikaze Minato is currently like Tian Ji's horse racing strategy, his hands and feet tied by a inferior horse that is countered by the battlefield and tactics. Victory is certain, but it will take time, and destruction is always easier than defense.
Hidan was hit multiple times, his body was shattered several times, and his mind finally came to its senses.
" Namikaze Minato, I'll remember this!" Hidan angrily swung his Triple-Bladed Scythe and left in another direction.
Namikaze Minato was astonished to see Hidan leave and to see him recover despite being hit multiple times.
"The speed at which he recovers seems somewhat abnormal!"
