A mischievous smile crept across Ziyun's lips.
I wonder what the Konoha High Command thinks when they see his disciple and the Fourth Hokage defecting to Kumogakure.
To die in despair and shame, bearing the title of the most incompetent Hokage —that's the most fitting end for the Konoha High Command.
With a flash of golden light, Ziyun and Minato Namikaze returned to the Cloud Village camp.
"Go back and inform Konoha that we will not accept Konoha's surrender unless half of the Land of Fire is ceded."
Ziyun stood with his hands behind his back and spoke to Minato Namikaze.
"Yes, I understand."
Minato Namikaze quickly used the Flying Thunder God to escape.
" Minato, how are the negotiations going?"
Upon seeing Minato Namikaze return to the Konoha camp, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others immediately surrounded him.
"The negotiations have broken down. Kumogakure that we cede half of our land," Minato said, his eyes filled with hatred as he looked at the Konoha High Command.
However, no one seems to notice right now; everyone's attention is focused on the Kumogakure's outrageous demands.
"That despicable Kumogakure! They've gone too far! How could they possibly cede half their territory!"
Shimura Danzō immediately rejected the proposal.
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi advocated surrender, fell silent.
"Let's fight. Only by fighting can we avoid ceding half of the Land of Fire's territory."
Jiraiya was also furious.
"Alright, since we're going to fight, we'll have to use our last weapon."
A ruthless glint appeared in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.
The Nine-Tails —this is Konoha's most prized possession.
The Nine- Tailed Beast; perhaps the other eight Tailed Beast combined are not as powerful as the Nine-Tails.
If we can make good use of the Nine-Tails, we might be able to turn the tide and win.
In fact, Konoha is generally unwilling to use the Nine-Tails, since Nine-Tails is difficult to control.
If the Nine-Tails -Nine-Tails is released, it might launch an attack on the Konoha Ninja first.
However, Konoha still has only one solution: the Mangekyō Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan.
The Mangekyō Sharingan should be able to control the Nine-Tails, giving Konoha one last chance.
The identity of Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is currently a secret, since Kushina is no longer the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Hiruzen Sarutobi can only choose from the remaining candidates.
However, Konoha has many geniuses, so choosing one is not a problem. It's just that they won't be able to control them as well as the Uzumaki Clan Members, and they'll just be used as disposable weapons.
Having been brainwashed by the Will of Fire the Konoha High Command, the new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has decided to dedicate his life to the village.
" Uchiha Grand Elder, this time I'm leaving it to you. When the Nine-Tails appears, you must control it well and prevent it from harming the Konoha Ninja."
Hiruzen Sarutobi brought the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and then addressed the Uchiha Clan's only Uchiha Grand Elder Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Okay, I understand. I will do my best for Konoha."
The Uchiha Grand Elder nodded; he would do his utmost.
Subsequently, Konoha launched an attack on Kumogakure.
"Has Konoha been so angered by us that they dared to launch an attack?"
Mikoto Konoha Ninja took the initiative to attack, smiled.
Does Konoha still have any trump cards left to fight against Kumogakure? They've actually launched an attack.
Could it be that he was really provoked by the demands of the Kumogakure?
"It shouldn't be. Konoha is probably planning a desperate last stand," Ziyun reminded Mikoto.
No matter how angry Konoha is, or how incompetent Hiruzen Sarutobi is, they wouldn't do something so foolish as to deliberately send themselves to their deaths.
They must have revealed some trump card.
Konoha does have some trump cards, such as the Nine-Tails, or the ability to summon Hashirama Senju.
However, whether it's the Nine-Tails or Hashirama Senju, the Kumogakure Kumogakure nothing to fear, since they can easily defeat either of them.
At this stage, no one in Konoha should have learned the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, so Ziyun estimates it's most likely the Nine-Tails.
"Roar!"
As expected, when they were still some distance from the Kumogakure Ninja, Konoha released the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Moreover, he immediately Complete Tailed Beast Transformation.
After all, the Jinchūriki's strength couldn't compare to Kushina's, and he had no way to control the Nine-Tails, so he was too lazy to torture him and just released the Nine-Tails.
The fact that the Nine-Tails Complete Tailed Beast Transformation proves that its Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is likely dead, having willingly sacrificed its life.
Just as the Nine-Tails was being released and preparing to attack the Konoha Ninja, the Uchiha Grand Elder stepped forward.
He forcibly Mangekyō Sharingan and successfully controlled the Nine-Tails.
Actually, not all Mangekyō Sharingan can control the Nine-Tails, but the Uchiha Grand Elder overdrafted his life force.
His Mangekyō Sharingan was bleeding continuously, and his pupil power was gradually weakening.
"I can only hold out for two hours. During those two hours, Nine-Tails will obey my commands."
After successfully controlling the Nine-Tails, the Uchiha Grand Elder addressed Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He felt his Chakra and eyesight rapidly diminishing; this time, he was risking everything for Konoha.
"Alright, a few hours should be enough. Follow Nine-Tails and launch an attack on Kumogakure!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and waved his hand to give the order.
"Everyone, use Ninjutsu to attack the Nine-Tails!"
At this moment, Tsunade gave the order.
Lightning Release: Earth Flow!
" Water Release · Water Shockwave!"
" Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
The Kumogakure ninjas charged at the Nine-Tails Nine-Tails, but it was as if they were merely tickling it.
Ordinary ninja Ninjutsu are completely useless against the Nine-Tails. Even Kage Level ninjas cannot shake the Nine-Tails without using their signature Ninjutsu.
"Is this the Nine-Tails in its Complete Tailed Beast Transformation? A worthy opponent."
Looking at the fully evolved Nine-Tails, Kushina smiled, and her fighting spirit erupted.
Kushina had heard Ziyun say that the Nine-Tails was the most powerful Tailed Beast, and that the other Eight-Tails Jiraiya couldn't compare to it.
Moreover, he was sent to Konoha in the first place to be trained to become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
If it weren't for Ziyun, he would most likely have been killed by Hiruzen Sarutobi by now.
Therefore, Kushina's fighting spirit surged!
" Kushina, do you want to fight Nine-Tails?"
Mikoto, who was about to intervene, asked a question after seeing Kushina about to make her move.
"That's right, Mikoto, leave this monster to me."
Kushina was very confident.
"I also want to see just how powerful the Nine-Tails is. Let's go together."
Mikoto nodded, having no intention of giving the Nine-Tails- Tails to Kushina for nothing.
Mikoto really wanted to see if her power could suppress the brutal Nine-Tails.
Besides being willing to do so, Mikoto was also a little worried about Kushina.
After all, the Nine-Tails ' power is considered to be at the Super Kage Level, while Kushina has not yet reached that Super Kage Level. Although she is unlikely to lose to the Nine-Tails, winning will not be easy for her.
Kushina might get injured.
After all, Kushina is Mikoto's childhood friend, and Mikoto wouldn't be happy if Kushina got hurt.
"Looks like I came to this great battle for nothing, I haven't been of any use at all," Tsunade couldn't help but chuckle.
She was a wet nurse, and her mission in this great battle was to heal ninja 02 from Kumogakure. However, Kumogakure was too strong, and she didn't have to do much.
"Let's just consider this a publicly funded trip." Ziyun put his Tsunade, not intending to make a move.
The Nine-Tails- Tails is nothing to me; I don't even need to lift a finger. Besides, Mikoto possesses the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, which is more than enough to easily defeat the Nine-Tails. I don't need to worry about it.
"However, don't make a move yet. Wait until the Kumogakure ninjas retreat before you act."
" Kumogakure ninja, listen to my command! Retreat! You will be easily caught in the crossfire if you stay here."
Ziyun gave the order.
Facing the Nine-Tails, Complete Tailed Beast Transformation and is being controlled by someone, any non- Kage Level powerhouse remaining on the battlefield would only be committing suicide.
Even if they get caught in the crossfire, they might die, so it's best to have the Kumogakure retreat first.
"What terrifying power!"
"Let's retreat. We can leave this to the adults in the village."
"That's right, we're no match for the Tailed Beast yet."
Sensing the Nine-Tails ' rampaging Chakra, even the usually arrogant Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist suppressed their bloodlust and obediently withdrew.
The ninja from Kumogakure also withdrew in an orderly manner.
