At this moment, Minato Namikaze's killing intent surged, and he prepared to kill Kari on the spot!
After all, if Iwagakure loses such a powerful fighter, it would be incredibly good news for Konoha!
But just as Minato Namikaze was about to kill Gari completely, he suddenly saw Gari float up!
To be precise, it's more like he was being carried on someone's back!
"It's Didaze!"
After much deliberation, Minato Namikaze decided it was best to play it safe.
He might not be able to kill the hunter now.
Moreover, if someone were to accidentally be injected with Nanoscale Bomb by Didaze, they would be completely finished.
Minato Namikaze went directly into the battlefield where Hiruzen Sarutobi was fighting, intending to help the Hokage.
Minato Namikaze immediately launched the Flying Thunder God Technique, arriving right next to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"I'm sorry, Lord Hokage, I'm late."
Minato Namikaze approached Hiruzen Sarutobi and said apologetically.
" Minato, you did a great job!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's mood improved at this point.
The fact that Kari was knocked to the ground by Minato Namikaze is undoubtedly good news for them!
" Lord Hokage, I'll assist you in dodging; you just need to focus on your senses!"
Minato Namikaze said to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Then Minato Namikaze threw out dozens of Flying Thunder God Kunai and stuck them in various places!
"Southeast!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi also closed his eyes and began to focus all his senses on sensing.
When Hiruzen Sarutobi did nothing but sense things, Didaze's Dustless Bewildering Cover Hiruzen Sarutobi whatsoever.
Hiruzen Sarutobi could clearly sense where Didaze was.
Once Tsunade had pinpointed the exact location, she began relentlessly pursuing Didaze!
" Clay Giant Bird!"
Didaze could only summon the Clay Giant Bird and take it into the air.
It wasn't that he forgot before, but rather that the larger the area of Dustless Bewildering Cover, the easier it was to be discovered.
The Giant Bird is quite large, so even if it is hidden in Dustless Bewildering Cover, it will be relatively easy to spot.
This is why Didaze hadn't used the Clay Giant Bird before.
"I can sense it without using my full sensory power, Minato, go help Tsunade!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi signaled to Minato Namikaze he didn't need to worry about him.
"Yes, Lord Hokage!"
Minato Namikaze nodded.
Meanwhile, Didaze's clone placed Hunt in a safe place and returned to its original body.
"Combine!"
Didaze merged directly with the split entity.
" Lady Tsunade, I'll take you into battle!"
Minato Namikaze came to Tsunade's side and placed his hand on Tsunade shoulder.
" Lady Tsunade, this is Flying Thunder God Kunai. Just throw it at the Tsuchikage in the sky with all your might!"
Because Ōnoki was flying quite high, Minato Namikaze was worried that he might not be able to throw him up with his own strength, so he decided to let Tsunade do it.
With Tsunade's power, she could probably throw Kunai ten thousand meters into the air.
But Minato Namikaze actually needs not only distance, but also speed.
The speed at which Tsunade throws it up must be faster than if she throws it herself.
After all, Tsunade's strength is much greater than his.
Tsunade nodded, then caught the Flying Thunder God Kunai and threw it into the sky!
The Flying Thunder God Kunai shot towards Ōnoki like a cannonball!
Earth Release: Added-Weight Rock Technique!
Earth Release: Rock Fist Technique!
Ōnoki immediately saw what Minato Namikaze and Tsunade were up to, but the Flying Thunder God Kunai was too fast as it flew upwards, and he couldn't dodge it in time.
"Whoosh!"
Using the Flying Thunder God Kunai switch positions, Tsunade charged up a punch and threw it directly at Ōnoki!
Ōnoki clashed his hardened fist with Tsunade's!
The power of the Rock Fist Technique, amplified by hundreds of times, is no less than that of Tsunade, and may even be Tsunade!
Furthermore, Ōnoki was not at risk of straining his back at the moment, so this clash ended in Tsunade's defeat!
"Such powerful strength. Isn't the Tsuchikage known for his Dust Release?"
Tsunade rubbed her aching right fist and said in shock.
"That's the Added-Weight Rock Technique, which can instantly increase one's weight by a hundred times, thereby amplifying one's strength."
Hiruzen Sarutobi in and cleared up Tsunade's confusion.
"Snort!"
Ōnoki glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi and snorted coldly.
Minato Namikaze continued with the same steps as Tsunade, their techniques simple yet highly effective.
Ōnoki was forced to confront the two, and didn't even have time to use Dust Release.
Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi below was also occasionally unleashing some long-range Ninjutsu at Ōnoki in the sky to annoy him.
"Old man, I'll have to trouble you to hold on a little longer."
Didaze apologized to Ōnoki in his mind, then channeled his Dust Release into Explosion Release.
Didaze has taken the final step.
But his last step was a bit off.
That means Didaze can't release a square-shaped Dust Release like Ōnoki; he can only channel Dust Release into his Explosion Release!
Didaze knew this was most likely because he had made a mistake somewhere, but he couldn't understand where the problem could lie, since he had followed the steps exactly the whole time.
Could it be that there's something wrong with the training method given by the Second Tsuchikage?
But if that's the case, how did Ōnoki manage to train successfully?
Therefore, Didaze immediately realized that the problem wasn't with the cultivation method.
Didaze hadn't originally planned to use this unfamiliar Dust Release, as it was an unstable element for him.
But now it seems he can't do without it. Apart from the Explosion Release with Dust Release, once he uses his C4 Explosion Release, none of his own people will survive.
This includes Nanako, Reigyō, Watanabe Kawa, and Kari, who is in a coma.
They all have to die.
Therefore, Didaze will not use his C4 unless absolutely necessary.
C3 also affected Iwagakure, but certainly not to a great extent.
However, C3 was not decisive enough to defeat Konoha in one fell swoop.
" Clay Bomb: Special Type: Dust Release Bomb!"
Didaze channeled his chakra, now fused into the Dust Release Chakra, into Clay Bomb from the sky, then launched these tiny objects outwards!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
One small sphere after another was thrown out by Didaze.
" Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately Hand Seals and spat out a large area of water!
He knew that Clay Bomb would cause less damage when detonated in water, so he spat out a large area of water to minimize the damage.
However, this time the Clay Bomb did not work as Hiruzen Sarutobi had imagined.
"It feels so familiar."
Ōnoki frowned; he sensed a very familiar fluctuation.
Dust Release!
Ōnoki suddenly woke up with a start, looking at the Clay Bomb that Didaze had thrown with surprise!
