"Spiral Sky Wheel Dance Roar - Isshiki: Rasengan!"
Minato Namikaze unleashed Rasengan at the Rock Giant, but only managed to create a dent in it.
"You must retreat immediately!"
" Super Multi-Size Technique!"
As the death toll rose, the Akimichi Clan ninjas drastically increased their Chakra, causing their physiques to grow even larger!
However, only a very small number of people can use the Super Multi-Size Technique. Of the more than fifty members of the Akimichi Clan, only five managed to use the Super Multi-Size Technique and become even larger.
The Super Multi-Size Technique did indeed greatly increase the power of these five people; in fact, the strongest member of the Akimichi Clan could shatter a rock giant with a single punch at full power!
" Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
Ōnoki raised his hand and unleashed Dust Release!
Because of its large size, Ōnoki is actually easier to aim at.
He aimed directly at the Akimichi Clan's head, where Minato Namikaze would be slowest to arrive!
As expected, Minato Namikaze knew the moment he saw Dust Release, it was too late to save them.
Dust Release pierced through the head of the Akimichi Clan ninja, leaving only a headless body.
" Giant Earth Release: Golem Technique!"
Ōnoki then formed hand Hand Seals once more, summoning a rock giant dozens of times larger than before!
" Flying Thunder God!"
Minato Namikaze, upon seeing the giant rock giant, immediately teleported it dozens of miles away.
Ōnoki, on the other hand, simply dispelled the Giant Rock Giant and summoned a new one.
For Ōnoki, controlling the Rock Giant mainly wastes a lot of Chakra, while summoning it consumes the least amount of Chakra.
Because there are rocks everywhere here, he doesn't need to use Earth Release to create anything. Just like Rasa manipulating gold dust in the desert, Ōnoki's Chakra consumption for summoning the Earth Release: Golem Technique in this rocky place is negligible.
"You guys go, I'll hold them off!"
Minato Namikaze signaled the Konoha Ninja to continue their retreat, while he stared warily at Ōnoki.
" Konoha truly produces a plethora of geniuses."
Ōnoki glanced indifferently at Minato Namikaze from the sky.
Ōnoki decided not to pursue any further; he knew that with Minato Namikaze blocking his way, he couldn't continue the chase.
Ōnoki flew backwards and began to gather the remaining Iwagakure ninja forces.
"The army has retreated, let's go!"
Minato Namikaze Body Flicker Technique appeared beside Tsunade and spoke quickly.
Tsunade nodded, and then Minato Namikaze used a Flying Thunder God Technique to take Tsunade away.
Minato Namikaze then reappeared beside Orochimaru and Hiruzen Sarutobi and took the two away.
Didaze watched as Minato Namikaze the group away, and he wasn't surprised at all.
Actually, he didn't want to waste time here with these people.
He plans to launch a surprise attack on Konoha in a couple of days, to show Konoha what a real sneak attack is like.
"Old man, how many did you eliminate?"
After watching Minato Namikaze lead everyone away, Didaze asked a question.
"About one-fifth."
Ōnoki stroked his chin and said.
"Not bad, basically a 1:1 kill ratio."
Didaze nodded.
"To think that a sneak attack would turn out like this, Hiruzen Sarutobi really doesn't know how to command."
Ōnoki gave a cold laugh.
"Old man, I'm going to launch a surprise attack on Konoha tomorrow."
Didaze pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Oh? You're planning to go by yourself?"
Ōnoki asked the question.
"That's right."
Didaze nodded.
"Isn't this a bit dangerous?"
Ōnoki said to Didaze with some concern.
"Those people from Konoha, do you think they can stop me?"
Didaze spoke calmly.
It wasn't that he looked down on Konoha, but rather that Konoha genuinely lacked strength at the moment.
"Too."
After thinking for a while, Ōnoki seemed unable to figure out how Konoha could keep Didaze.
"Go ahead then, but be careful!"
"You are the successor I have chosen!"
Ōnoki patted Didaze on the shoulder and said earnestly.
"Haha, don't worry, old man!"
Didaze laughed loudly.
Konoha
At this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi had already led his men back to their original encampment.
"Why is that?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't understand why the Iwagakure, whose strength was clearly enough to suppress them, acted as if they were the stronger ones.
As for this time, if Minato Namikaze hadn't used his special ability to defeat Kari beforehand, his entire crew would probably have perished in this sneak attack!
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't figure out what Iwagakure was planning, so he had to put the idea on hold.
"Come over!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi beckoned to the Anbu beside him.
"Yes, Lord Hokage!"
The Anbu said respectfully.
"Go contact Kumogakure and Kirigakure, and tell them I want to form an alliance with each village..."
"One-tenth of the task quota!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi said with immense pain.
One-tenth of Konoha's mission quota is equivalent to one-quarter of that of other villages.
As for Sunagakure, it's about half the size.
"Yes, Lord Hokage!"
The Anbu nodded.
Go!
Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand.
The Anbu vanished from Hiruzen Sarutobi's sight using the Body Flicker Technique.
"I haven't been back for half a year. I wonder how Danzo is doing in the village."
Before making this decision Hiruzen Sarutobi was constantly struggling with the decision, and even felt somewhat tormented.
He didn't know whether he should hand over the village's interests.
But now that he had actually handed it over, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a sense of relief.
But once you relax, you'll involuntarily think of the person you care about most.
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi's most concerned person was undoubtedly Danzo.
Konoha
Hokage's Office
" Lord Hokage, this new batch of bloodline and secret technique clan ninjas has been imprinted with the Tongue Eradication Cursed Seal."
The Root members spoke respectfully to Shimura Danzō, who was seated in Hokage Hokage's seat.
"Well done, continue collecting orphan geniuses."
"Shimura Danzō I said, squinting my eyes."
He did everything in secret, and the geniuses he collected were all orphans.
Therefore, not many people in the village knew that Danzo was collecting geniuses for the Root.
Shimura Danzō even threatened various bloodline families and secret arts families to hand over a group of their clansmen.
Note that this is a batch.
This means that each family handed over more than one person.
Every family hated Shimura Danzō, but they were powerless against Shimura Danzō.
Apart from the Uchiha Clan.
Shimura Danzō Uchiha Clan, after all, the Uchiha Clan was capable of staging a coup.
He simply continued to amplify public opinion, drawing the Uchiha Clan into a vortex of controversy.
It's fair to say that Konoha has been completely Shimura Danzō, though the villagers are unaware of it for the time being.
"Do you think I qualify as a proper Hokage?"
Danzo, believing he had control over all the Bloodline families, asked the Root member beside him with no small amount of pride.
" Danzo, you are the greatest Hokage, far surpassing the Third Hokage!"
The members of Root gave Danzo the answer he wanted.
Danzo raised his head with a look of enjoyment.
