"No, we must stop them. Minato, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, you're coming with me."
Hiruzen Sarutobi the names of three people.
" Lord Hokage, I think I'll pass. I think it's better for me to stay here. You might not be able to stop the Nine-Tails, so I can still save people later."
Minato Namikaze politely declined.
" Minato..."
It was unbelievable that Minato had said those words. Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya were both stunned, and even Orochimaru was taken aback.
Minato Namikaze, what's wrong?
"Alright, Minato's right. Hatake Sakumo, you're coming with me."
Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't in the mood to argue, and he called on Hatake Sakumo to charge at Uchiha Mikoto.
However, before they could charge, Mikoto took the initiative and controlled the Nine-Tails to attack.
Roar, hiss!
With a tearing and biting motion, the Nine-Tails' enormous body charged into the Konoha Ninja formation, almost slaughtering them.
"Damn it, they're blocking the Nine-Tails!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi summoned Enma, and with a single blow, sent the Nine-Tails flying a great distance.
It must be said that Hiruzen Sarutobi is indeed quite skilled.
However, the next moment Mikoto immediately manipulated the Nine-Tails to unleash the Tailed Beast Bomb.
"Retreat immediately!"
Sensing the power of the Tailed Beast Bomb, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to order a retreat.
The Konoha Village's formation lacked the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, making it impossible for them to withstand the Nine-Tails ' Tailed Beast Bomb.
With a deafening roar, the Tailed Beast Bomb instantly killed hundreds of Konoha Ninja.
The other ninjas dared not turn back and could only flee for their lives.
" The Nine-Tails cannot unleash its full power when it is under control; it needs Nine-Tails Jinchūriki cooperate with it."
Gazing at this scene, Ziyun murmured.
The Nine-Tails is very strong, but if it could cooperate with Jinchūriki with a similar mindset, as in the original story, its strength would probably be even greater.
After all, the Nine-Tails- Tails' main attack methods are not many; its only strength is its enormous Chakra.
However, like Naruto in the original work, Nine-Tails could have many more uses, such as acting as a power bank, distributing Chakra to other ninjas, enhancing ninjutsu, and increasing speed.
" Kushina, do you want to become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? That guy is really strong, you know."
Ziyun looked at Kushina beside him and asked.
" Jinchūriki? That means sealing that monster inside yourself? Forget it, that's too ugly."
Kushina was somewhat reluctant.
"Then forget it. That monster can help you break through to the Super Kage Level. If you don't want it, I'll consider someone else."
Ziyun laughed and said, "There are many candidates for Jinchūriki in Kumogakure."
For example, Killer B Killer B didn't have Tailed Beast inside him because Blue B didn't die.
It would be perfect to give him the Nine-Tails. With Killer B's abilities and under my guidance, it wouldn't be difficult for him to become Perfect Jinchuriki.
"What, Super Kage Level powerhouse? I'm willing, I'm willing!"
Upon hearing this, Kushina quickly added, fearing that Ziyun might not do it.
"Didn't you say you weren't willing? Since you're not willing, I'll give it to someone else. I think Killer B is quite suitable for Nine-Tails."
Ziyun teases Kushina.
" Ziyun, you're the best. I'm willing. Since I can become Super Kage Level powerhouse, why wouldn't I be?"
Kushina hugged Ziyun's arm and rubbed against him.
Hmm... it's nowhere near as good as Tsunade's touch.
Although Kushina mastered Sage Mode, she was unable to break through to the Peak Kage Level strength.
Her destructive power is already there, but what she lacks compared to Super Kage Level expert is endurance and defense.
If she could obtain the Nine-Tails, develop the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, and combine it with Sage Mode, Kushina would be a true Super Kage Level powerhouse.
Meanwhile, Nine-Tails, under Mikoto's control, is engaged in a fierce battle with Konoha Ninja.
Hmm... Konoha was completely and unilaterally crushed.
Since Minato Namikaze wasn't planning to exert himself and was just coasting along, the Nine-Tails ' Tailed Beast Bomb could wreak havoc without him being able to transfer it away using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Only Jiraiya and Hatake Sakumo, the two people most deeply versed in the Will of Fire's Genjutsu, are attempting to stop the Nine-Tails Nine-Tails, but they are currently unable to stop it and can only harass it.
Moreover, besides the Nine-Tails, there was also Mikoto's complete Susanoo. Konoha could only run away and fight back at the same time, making their situation extremely chaotic.
"Forget everything else, just focus on retreating. If this continues, we'll all be wiped out."
Looking at the countless dead and wounded Konoha Ninja, Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart bled, and he had no choice but to prioritize saving his own life.
As for whether the Nine-Tails will be subdued by the Kumogakure, he can't care about that now.
If all the Konoha Ninja are dead, there's no point in getting the Nine-Tails back.
Even without Hiruzen Sarutobi saying anything, the fear of death had already driven most of the Konoha Ninja to focus solely on escaping.
Under the cover of Hatake Sakumo Jiraiya, the Konoha Ninja began a full-scale retreat.
Mikoto didn't hesitate either, continuing the pursuit for nearly an hour.
Mikoto only stopped after all the Konoha Ninja had fled back to Konoha.
After all, Ziyun had warned that there were likely many barriers and traps inside Konoha, making it not so easy to breach.
Mikoto had just used up most of her Chakra, so she decided to stop.
" Mikoto is truly amazing. Kumogakure owes so much to you; this war ended without me even lifting a finger."
Ziyun came to Mikoto's side and praised her.
" Ziyun, stop talking. Without you, how could I possibly possess such formidable strength?"
A blush crept onto Mikoto's cheeks. She knew very well that if Ziyun hadn't given her the Mangekyō Sharingan and the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, she might never have been able to awaken such powerful eyes in her entire life.
" Hiruzen Sarutobi has led the Konoha Ninja back to the village. Konoha should probably be planning to surrender now."
At that moment, Tsunade Jiraiya beside the two, gazing at Konoha.
"That's about it. What's wrong, Tsunade? Are you feeling a bit conflicted?" Ziyun noticed that Tsunade seemed a little off.
"No, no, Ziyun, don't worry. I've completely severed ties with Konoha. I don't care whether Konoha lives or dies."
Tsunade spoke the truth.
"Okay, if you have it, you can say so; if not, never mind."
Ziyun carefully observed Tsunade and found that she did not show much sadness.
"Okay, Ziyun... don't worry, I'll tell you if I have anything to say."
Tsunade felt a sweet warmth in her heart, after all, Ziyun's question showed that he cared about her feelings.
Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi, having retreated to Konoha, began discussing the next steps of his organization's Konoha High Command.
They suffered a crushing defeat in this major battle; you could say they almost lost everything.
Not only were thousands of ninjas killed or injured, but they also failed to retrieve the Nine-Tails.
"What's the situation in Kumogakure?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.
When they retreated back to Konoha, not all of the Konoha Ninja retreated. Instead, a small group of ninjas remained behind to gather intelligence, fearing what would happen if Kumogakure attacked Konoha directly.
" Lord Hokage, Kumogakure has no plans to invade Konoha, at least not at the moment."
Having received intelligence from the front lines, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Konoha High Command leadership finally breathed a sigh of relief.
" The Kumogakure is too powerful. Even deploying the Nine-Tails couldn't subdue them, and they even managed to take the Nine-Tails away themselves."
Danzo was so angry he gritted his teeth, extremely displeased.
The Nine-Tails —what a powerful force it was! To think it was controlled by Uchiha Mikoto is a huge loss.
In Danzo's view, the death of one or two thousand Konoha Ninja was nothing, but the fact that the Nine-Tails was taken in by the Kumogakure was the most intolerable thing.
" Uchiha Clan Head, why did the Nine-Tails suddenly break free of control? Could it be that your Uchiha Clan did this on purpose?"
Danzo grew angrier the more he thought about it, and at the assembly, he directly pointed at the Uchiha Clan Head and asked him by name.
" Danzo, do you think controlling the Nine-Tails is such an easy thing? The Uchiha Grand Elder is still resting in his hospital room, and we don't even know if he'll recover!"
"Besides, where were you during the war? I didn't see you anywhere."
The Uchiha Clan Head couldn't take it anymore and retorted directly.
The Uchiha Clan had no selfish motives in this battle; it was entirely for Konoha. The Uchiha Grand Elder even sacrificed his life, and it's uncertain whether he will survive.
As a result, Danzo Uchiha Clan Head.
"Hmph, do I need to report to you where I go? That's top secret, understand?"
Danzo didn't expect the Uchiha Clan Head to be so disrespectful, directly retorting with a sharp retort.
" Danzo, don't talk nonsense. Everyone can see the contributions the Uchiha Clan has made to Konoha. Let's not start this kind of infighting at a time like this."
Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped forward and glared fiercely at Danzo.
This mad dog has started biting people again. And now you're trying to take the blame at a time like this? Are you trying to incite the Uchiha Clan to rebel?
If there hadn't been so many people present, Hiruzen Sarutobi would have really wanted to rush up and slap Danzo twice.
