"Call..."
Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the Tailed Beast Bomb Minato Namikaze explode in the distance.
Although Chakra, thankfully it was blocked.
" Tailed Beast Bomb!"
Roshi refused to believe it and unleashed another Tailed Beast Bomb at Konoha.
However, Minato Namikaze successfully transferred the Tailed Beast Bomb Minato Namikaze once again.
" Roshi, use Lava Release!"
Didaze shouted from the sky down to Roshi.
He didn't believe that Minato Namikaze could use Lava Release.
"You all need to retreat!"
Minato Namikaze shouted to the crowd behind him.
Everyone immediately retreated, and even Dan Katō, who advocated for war, didn't say much.
After all, a battle should at least be fought on equal footing, and this is clearly no longer the case.
" The Scorching River Great Eruption!"
Roshi's entire body erupted with astonishing Chakra!
He was then teleported away by Minato Namikaze.
While Roshi was unleashing his Chakra, Minato Namikaze touched Roshi's mouth and brushed against the teeth next to Roshi mouth.
Roshi's teeth didn't have Lava Release, so Minato Namikaze easily encountered them.
Minato Namikaze then moved Roshi directly to a location he had previously chosen, a forest more than ten miles away from here.
It's not that Minato Namikaze doesn't want to go further; it's just that his current strength doesn't support it.
Roshi won't be back anytime soon.
Minato Namikaze glanced warily at Didaze in the sky, then retreated with the main force.
He didn't know that Didaze was out of Chakra; all he knew was that even after they got rid of Roshi, there was still Didaze watching them intently.
To avoid unnecessary casualties, it's best to retreat.
" Roshi, come back."
Roshi finally ran over after a while, and he was still determined to continue the pursuit, but Didaze in the sky had already called out to Roshi.
"Ze, transferring my Tailed Beast Bomb must have consumed a lot of Chakra!"
Roshi had a resentful expression; it was clear he was very angry.
"Even if they Chakra, they would have already gone far away. Are you going to chase them all the way to the Land of Fire?"
Didaze looked at the furious Roshi and said.
"Well..."
Roshi scratched his head.
Didaze's words seem to make sense; if he kept chasing, he might actually end up in the Land of Fire.
"Come back with me."
Didaze maneuvered the Clay Giant Bird to Roshi's Roshi, then picked him up and flew away.
Before long, the two arrived at the back.
" Lord Didaze... We are sorry that we failed to defeat Konoha, and we need your help to resolve this... Please punish us..."
The Tōshirō was the first to approach Didaze, bowing his head like a child who had done something wrong, awaiting Didaze's punishment.
"It's alright, that blond-haired young man was indeed unexpected."
Didaze shook his head.
He had thought that Minato Namikaze wouldn't master the Flying Thunder God until at least a year after the Fourth Shinobi World War, but he hadn't expected that his opponent would already know it so early in Shinobi World war.
Moreover, judging from this level of proficiency, it seems like she hasn't just learned it recently.
"I'll definitely kill that blond guy next time!"
The Tōshirō looked resentful.
"Don't worry about him; you can't kill him with his abilities."
Didaze shook his head slightly.
Minato Namikaze wanted to escape, but even he couldn't stop him.
Minato Namikaze's death in the original storyline was purely plot-driven; the Third the old man, Nobunaga, didn't want to die, so he made the younger generation die instead.
"I'll request the village to transfer someone to defend against Minato Namikaze."
Didaze was about to tell Ōnoki to call Kōdo over.
Given Minato Namikaze's scathing attack power, even if you used a Kunai to scathe Kōdo for a lifetime, it wouldn't be of any use.
Even after learning the Rasengan, he still couldn't defeat Kōdo.
It can be said that Kōdo Minato Namikaze, who has extremely high movement speed but little attack power.
As for not being able to touch Minato Namikaze.
That's even less of a problem. Just go straight into the crowd and start slaughtering everyone. Didaze doesn't believe Minato Namikaze can stand idly by.
Even if Minato Namikaze stands idly by, Kōdo can still kill people while shouting that he wants to fight Minato Namikaze one-on-one.
Minato Namikaze doesn't engage in one-on-one combat, he'll be hated by the Konoha Ninja; but if he does, he'll only suffer minor setbacks.
"By the way, Lord Didaze, your apprentice has fallen into a coma and hasn't woken up yet."
"The Tōshirō said to Didaze."
"Who?"
Didaze stood up abruptly.
"Your apprentice, Nanako Uzumaki..."
No sooner had Tōshirō finished speaking than Didaze left the tent.
Didaze walked quickly to another tent.
This tent is specifically for treating the wounded, but the wounded are categorized by severity and urgency.
Nanako's unconscious state was the mildest form of injury, so Didaze went directly into the tent marked "Minor Injury."
The people in this tent mostly had minor cuts or scratches from Kunai or kunai, which caused significant bleeding but were not life-threatening.
Many people had already sat up and were chatting.
But the moment Didaze entered, the room fell completely silent.
After a while
" Lord Didaze?"
" Lord Didaze must be here to see his apprentice..."
Then, murmurs arose from the crowd.
Everyone looked at the girl who was unconscious.
"Teacher, Nanako has been unconscious, and even the Mystical Palm Technique hasn't worked at all!"
Reigyō and Watanabe Kawa were both by Nanako Uzumaki's side, and Reigyō almost burst into tears when she saw Didaze.
Watanabe Kawa looked dejected.
"Let me see..."
Didaze placed his hand on Nanako Uzumaki's forehead.
Didaze began to expand his senses to perceive the flow of Chakra within Nanako Uzumaki's body.
Because from the very beginning, he could clearly sense the instability of Nanako Uzumaki Chakra, as if something was awakening within her.
Didaze decided to test his hypothesis.
Didaze closed his eyes and began to carefully sense the flow of Chakra within Nanako's body.
First, Didaze sensed a strong life energy.
This life energy exists within Nanako Uzumaki's Chakra, something Didaze had sensed before.
But now, a sense of continuous life has also been added to life energy.
"This is..."
Didaze opened his eyes wide.
"Don't worry, this is Nanako's good luck."
Didaze picked up his hand, and a smile returned to his face.
He now understood what was really going on with Nanako.
Nanako's body is undergoing modifications. Previously, Nanako's Wood Release was always just one step short, and Didaze didn't know why.
But now Didaze knows.
Nanako lacked this crucial element: an inexhaustible Chakra.
Life energy alone is not enough to complete Wood Release, but with an inexhaustible Chakra...
It can be said that Nanako is only one step away from awakening Wood Release.
That is... wake up!
