Losing control of Orochimaru, Mito Uzumaki stopped in place.
Third Hokage, who was fighting against her, breathed a sigh of relief.
However, as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, the fatigue, pain and Chakra's huge consumption accumulated from the previous battle suddenly surged through his body like a flood that burst a dam.
The body of this nearly 70-year-old man was swaying, and if the psychic beast Enma beside him hadn't stretched out his strong arms in time to help him, he would have collapsed directly to the ground.
With Enma's careful support, Third almost moved and sat on the edge of a relatively flat roof nearby.
He was hunched over, with his hands on his knees, breathing heavily, his forehead was covered with fine cold sweat, and his lips were frighteningly pale.
He raised his heavy eyelids, looked across the ruins of the roof, and scanned the entire Konoha below.
What came into view was a scene of devastation.
Black smoke billows from the burning houses. Potholes, cracks and wet blood stains left by the battle can be seen everywhere on the streets. Villagers or ninjas who may not be rescued in the future may be buried under the ruins of collapsed buildings. Sporadic sounds of fighting and the groans of the injured can be heard in the distance.
The three brothers Gamabunta, who had solved Three-Headed Giant Snake and lifted it away from Konoha, had already reached the wall of Konoha.
The peaceful and prosperous Konoha has suffered such heavy losses in a short period of time.
Looking at all this, Third's wrinkled face was filled with sorrow, and his brows were tightly knitted into a deep "three".
Self-blame, heartache, worry about the future... all kinds of heavy emotions weighed him down and he could hardly breathe.
As Hokage, he felt that he was to blame for failing to prevent this disaster in advance and failing to better protect the villagers and the village.
He tried to regain some physical strength and Chakra by briefly meditating and adjusting his breath. However, after sitting down, not only did his body not feel better, but the fatigue that originated from the depths of his soul became deeper and deeper, like maggots on the tarsal bones, eroding every inch of his muscles and will.
He is sixty-nine years old.
His body is no longer as strong as it was in his prime. The last time he participated in such a high-intensity life-and-death battle was back in the distant Second Shinobi World War.
But he was at his peak at that time.
But now, time is not forgiving, and the long-term work and exhaustion of paperwork has long emptied his physical foundation.
In this battle, he had drained almost every available Chakra out of his body, and his spirit was always in a state of high tension.
This kind of consumption is too huge for his aging body, and may even have damaged his roots.
On the other side, Jiraiya, who had just finished giggling because of Naruto's joke and felt a little relaxed, finally remembered that his teacher was still fighting hard.
He quickly looked around, anxiously looking for Third.
Finally, his eyes locked on the old man sitting on the edge of the roof not far away. Accompanied by Enma, he looked extremely stooped, tired, and even a little sluggish.
"Old man!"
Jiraiya's heart tightened, and he instantly exited Sage Mode. He exerted force on his feet, and after a few ups and downs, he jumped onto the roof where Third was.
After getting closer, Jiraiya could see it more clearly.
Third's face was as pale as paper, his breathing was rapid and unsteady, his eyes were dim, and there were even blue veins on his forehead that appeared faintly due to excessive consumption and pain. It seemed that most of his energy and energy had been drained away.
This state... is so wrong.
Far beyond the scope of fatigue after ordinary battles!
"Medical Team, notify Medical Team quickly! Come and treat Third Hokage!"
Jiraiya's face changed drastically. He could no longer care about anything else. He turned around suddenly and faced the crowd below who were busy cleaning up the battlefield and treating the wounded. He yelled with all his strength.
He was well aware of his teacher's physical condition, and also understood the danger and exhaustion of the battle just now.
In this state, there must be no delay, and the most professional Medical Ninjutsu treatment must be carried out immediately!
The old man wanted him to be Fifth Hokage before, but he couldn't die!
If he dies, I can't change his last words. Then I will have to be Hokage!
As Jiraiya shouted, the crowd below became commotion.
Soon, several figures wearing Konoha Medical Ninjutsu Ninja uniforms and carrying Medical Ninjutsu boxes, under the guidance of ANBU, rushed towards the roof at the fastest speed.
Naruto came to Mito Uzumaki, then took out Scroll and sealed Mito Uzumaki.
The main battle was over, but it took more than an hour for the remaining enemies to be completely cleared.
This time, the people of Hyuga were really happy.
They cannot use Byakugan freely in the village on weekdays. Some people with Sensing keenness can detect that they are being watched. They can guess that they are being watched by Byakugan just by looking left and right.
If your power has been restrained for a long time, you will naturally feel relaxed if you release it without reservation.
After catching the somewhat dishonest brother and sister Temari back, Naruto took to the streets again.
Temari stayed where he was, but Kankuro ran away with Gaara.
There is no way, who makes Naruto like to keep it?
Gaara also has the mark of Flying Thunder God on his body.
Kankuro is not important, what is important is One-Tail.
After getting Chakra from Shukaku, you can use Magnet Release. Naruto also wants to play command blocks.
I would also like to study Kekkei Mōra.
The definition of Kekkei Mōra is very clear: it is formed by the fusion of seven Chakra Nature Transformations: fire, wind, earth, water, thunder, yin and yang, and is superior to Kekkei Genkai and Kekkei Tōta.
However, the only people with Kekkei Mōra in the formula book are Kaguya, Sage of Six Paths, Urashiki, and others. Even Madara who became Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and opened Rinne Sharingan does not have Kekkei Mōra. His mark is limited.
However, that thing is only of reference value. The settings of Hokage are too messy. If you believe it, you may be severely ambushed one day.
After all, Kakashi graduated from the 12-year-old Jonin at the age of six, to graduated after entering school at the age of six and spending school life with Obito and others.
"This operation is different from what you expected before. Third old man is still alive."
Nine-Tails put his fox face in front of the iron railing and stared at Naruto.
"Now Third is alive and dead, and Jiraiya has now begun to be Acting Hokage.
Remember? Our goal is not to destroy anything.
Some people believe that death is the best revenge.
But there will be no pain after death. He wants to die with the honor of sacrificing for the village, but that is a dream."
Naruto, who was wandering in the dilapidated Konoha, calmly recovered Nine-Tails in his heart, took a bottle of drink from the window next to him, then put the money on the window and held it down with another bottle of drink.
Soon, Naruto found Neji Hyuga who was patrolling with a group of Hyuga tribesmen.
"Neji, how is the situation now?"
"Fortunately, Uncle and Hinata also led their tribesmen to patrol Konoha, and no hiding enemies have been found so far."
"Where is Hanabi?"
"Hanabi is staying at home now, very safe."
Naruto nodded.
"That's good."
However, at this moment, Neji's expression suddenly changed and his brows furrowed slightly, as if he had received some message.
After a moment, Neji looked at Naruto.
He conveyed the message that had just been sent directly from Inoichi Yamanaka:
"Inoichi Senior has just been summoned. Lord Jiraiya please go to Konoha Hospital to find him as soon as possible."
Obviously, Jiraiya, who has just taken over the position of Acting Hokage, has extremely important and urgent matters that need to be discussed with Naruto face to face.
The location chosen at Konoha Hospital is probably also related to Third's condition, or some urgent post-war placement and secret treatment of the wounded.
Naruto's eyes narrowed slightly and he nodded. "I understand."
He didn't ask any more questions, turned around and walked in the direction of Konoha Hospital, speeding up his pace.
