"My clone?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the figure before him that was exactly like himself, his heart sank to the bottom.
No wonder they dared to invade Konoha directly; they had a secret technique up their sleeve!
'That's true, the Mist Ninja aren't all fools; they wouldn't do something that would harm their own village!'
'However, my career may end today!'
Hiruzen Sarutobi assumed a defensive stance; as a seasoned Shinobi Hero had fought countless battles, he no longer believed he had any chance of survival.
Looking again at the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist running towards the outskirts of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes narrowed.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
Four clones appeared beside Hiruzen Sarutobi. Three of them immediately ran towards the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, while one remained in place to fight the Hiruzen Sarutobi.
It's just a clone; with a Shadow Clone Technique, it's more than enough!
"The Adamantine Staff, grow longer!"
Central and western Konoha.
"How is the situation now?"
As the team leader, Karatachi Yagura asked Zabuza Momochi and his group that their mission was to launch a surprise attack, cause turmoil in Konoha, and thus cause Konoha to suffer setbacks on all fronts.
There's already some minor chaos, but it's far from what we expected. Now they're preparing to unleash their ultimate weapon!
However, there are some things that the Mizukage has repeatedly emphasized, and these are bottom lines that cannot be crossed.
"The Uchiha Clan has been fighting near their clan's territory, which is quite far from here!"
"We can unleash the Tailed Beast Bomb!"
Hozuki Mangetsu answered quickly.
Although none of the Uchiha Clan's strongest members were in Konoha, Kirigakure still had no intention of dealing with the Uchiha Clan.
This is a consensus among the Mist Ninja; they came to attack Konoha, and have absolutely nothing to do with the Uchiha Clan!
Yagura nodded, then turned to Kisame Hoshigaki, "Did Samehada detect the Nine-Tails?"
"No."
Kisame Hoshigaki shook his head, causing Yagura to frown.
They originally intended to kill the Nine- Nine-Tails Jinchuriki directly, but they didn't expect him to be so well hidden!
"Yagura, there are still many civilians who haven't entered the shelters yet. What should we do now?"
Should we continue the attack later?
At that moment, Jūzō Biwa spoke up, saying that their raid had only lasted less than ten minutes, and the civilians who weren't ninjas definitely hadn't reached the shelter yet.
Leaving Konoha now or detonating the Explosive Tag array directly would be a losing proposition.
"No!"
Yagura shook his head, rejecting Jūzō Biwa's suggestion.
"Release the Tailed Beast Bomb immediately to force the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki reveal himself!"
Since the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has been hiding, then you won't be able to hide any longer!
Currently, besides Hiruzen Sarutobi, the only Nine-Tails Jinchuriki- Konoha Six-Tails Tailed Beast Bomb!
Yagura spoke, he took out a sealing scroll from his waist, which contained the Tailed Beast Bomb of the Six-Tails. He had a whole row of such scrolls!
Suddenly, Kisame Hoshigaki looked up into the distance. "Yagura- senpai, the Hokage's clone is coming!"
Ringo Ameyuri scoffed, "It would be abnormal if he didn't come."
"This is the Sarutobi Clan's ancestral land, his home!"
The seven of them were currently outside the Sarutobi clan's territory. Whether for the sake of his clansmen or to pursue them, Hiruzen Sarutobi would come.
Looking at the three identical figures rapidly approaching in the distance, Yagura immediately unfurled the sealing scroll, faced the direction, and released the seal!
Boom!
A black Tailed Beast Bomb rapidly expanded and flew towards Hiruzen Sarutobi's clone and the Sarutobi Clan Compound.
"The Adamantine Staff, grow longer!" *3
Upon seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's clone hurriedly used his Adamantine Staff to try and push the Tailed Beast Bomb out.
"Too late!"
Boom!
A powerful explosion rang out, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's clone and the entire Sarutobi Clan Compound vanished instantly.
Standing on the tree branch, Yagura looked down at the land below, where a portion of it had suddenly disappeared, his expression calm and composed.
When carrying out low-level missions, he doesn't mind taking his time, but when facing Konoha, one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, it's best to play it safe.
If this drags on, people could die.
Looking at the Konoha Ninja drawn by the explosion in the distance, Yagura raised his hand, as if about to do something.
Suddenly, Samehada in Kisame Hoshigaki's hand began to twist uncontrollably.
Immediately afterwards, a violent and turbulent surge of Chakra suddenly appeared on the battlefield, drawing everyone's attention.
More important than power is the person who possesses this Chakra.
Yagura and the others looked ahead.
Almost visible to the naked eye, a woman radiating crimson Chakra was approaching them.
That was Kushina Uzumaki, who wore Tailed Beast Cloak and had three tails behind her.
"The Nine-Tails?"
Yagura frowned slightly as he looked at the enraged Kushina Uzumaki — the Nine-Tails was a bit too powerful!
Although they had always heard that Nine-Tails was the leader of the Tailed Beast and the strongest of all the Tailed Beast, Yagura and the others were still shocked when they saw it with their own eyes.
The Chakra displayed by the Tailed Beast Cloak with only three tails is already close to half that of the Six-Tails!
Bang!
As she ran at top speed, Kushina Uzumaki trampled small pits into the ground beneath her feet.
Without any verbal communication, Kushina Uzumaki had already sped towards the Seven Ninja Swordsmen when she arrived on the battlefield.
"Don't let her get close to us!"
Yagura calmly spoke as he looked at the aggressive Kushina Uzumaki, and once again took a sealing scroll from his waist.
"Seal Released!"
Boom!
Another Tailed Beast Bomb was launched straight at Kushina.
Even ordinary Kage Level opponents would be instantly killed by the Tailed Beast Bomb!
"Drink it!"
Seeing the Tailed Beast Bomb suddenly appear, Kushina shouted and instantly jumped into the air, then kicked out!
"???"
Several question marks appeared above the heads of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
The Tailed Beast Bomb was just kicked away so easily?
Are you playing?
"Wow, that's really strong! Nine-Tails!"
Yagura sighed, then took down two more scrolls, one facing Kushina and the other facing Konoha behind her.
"Don't move!"
"If you dare take another step forward, Konoha will be doomed!"
"Miss, you don't want anything to happen to Konoha, do you?"
"You!"
Seeing the two sealing scrolls in Yagura, Kushina dared not move around and could only stand there resentfully, lest Konoha be attacked by the Tailed Beast Bomb.
Seeing that Kushina dared not take another step forward, Yagura secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, otherwise, if she had rushed over, Konoha would have been attacked by the Tailed Beast Bomb, and we ourselves would probably have suffered as well.
Just then, Jūzō Biwa whispered a reminder: "Yagura, the Hokage is here with the Anbu!"
"The Uchiha Clan is almost here too, we should go!"
Yagura nodded, watching Hiruzen Sarutobi arrive with a large number of Konoha Ninja. He calculated the time in his mind and estimated that there were probably already a large number of civilians in the shelter.
Yagura made a decision in his mind. Instantly, another water clone appeared beside him and took two more scrolls from Yagura waist, aiming them at Kushina and the Konoha behind her.
"This is a parting gift!"
