Behind them lay the devastated Konoha, mostly destroyed and suffering heavy casualties, a scene of utter chaos.
At the front of Konoha stood a row of ninjas, the very pinnacle of Konoha's power: Hatake Sakumo Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo, Orochimaru.
The other Konoha Ninja behind could only watch from afar as Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others fought fiercely against the Nine-Tails; they had no right to intervene.
Their Ninjutsu couldn't even affect the Nine-Tails in the slightest, and the Nine-Tails ' terrifying speed was beyond their reaction time; it could kill them in an instant.
At that moment, a Tailed Beast Bomb suddenly fell, and countless gazes, filled with shock and fear, fell upon this Tailed Beast Bomb whose Chakra density was terrifying.
At that very moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others finally made their move together.
Rumble!!!
In an instant, all sorts of sword flashes and terrifyingly powerful Ninjutsu flew out, meeting the Tailed Beast Bomb head-on.
Then, a terrifying explosion occurred throughout the venue.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others retreated madly without hesitation, until they reached the edge of Konoha before stopping.
The Nine-Tails went berserk within Konoha, causing them immense losses. Only then were they able to lure the rampaging Nine-Tails out of Konoha. They absolutely cannot allow the Nine-Tails to invade Konoha again.
boom!!
At that moment, it seemed as if the heavens and earth were trembling and roaring, as Hiruzen Sarutobi, Hatake Sakumo, and the others unleashed their strongest attacks.
All the attacks converged and collided with the Tailed Beast Bomb, finally triggering a terrifying explosion, like a star falling into the field, causing the earth to tremble violently.
When the light disappeared, a terrifyingly huge crater appeared in the arena, causing everyone to swallow hard.
"Did it block it?!"
"Great! That attack was blocked!"
"This should be enough to suppress the Nine-Tails."
The Konoha Ninja behind them, initially shocked, finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene.
Ahead, the rampaging Nine-Tails paused its movements slightly, seemingly surprised that its Tailed Beast Bomb had been blocked.
But the next moment, it became even more enraged.
roar!!!
Another frenzied roar erupted, and terrifying Chakra gathered once more, causing the Konoha Ninja, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, to show expressions of horror once more.
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others broke out in a cold sweat.
"Again?!"
"This guy's Chakra reserves are ridiculously high!"
Jiraiya and the others gritted their teeth, preparing to join forces and resist once again.
However, this time, everyone's expressions froze as the Tailed Beast Bomb took shape again, even Tsunade showed a look of disbelief.
Before everyone's eyes, a terrifying Tailed Beast Bomb, ten times larger than the previous one, suddenly appeared in the arena!
This time, even Orochimaru showed a look of horror.
"No! This can't be stopped!"
"Damn it, is this the true power of the Nine-Tails? How did the First Hokage manage to suppress it back then?!"
Everyone stared in disbelief, utterly shocked, at this scene.
How can I block that?
Back then, I thought Hashirama Senju could suppress the Nine-Tails like it was nothing, but when I actually faced the Nine-Tails, I realized just how terrifying Nine-Tails power was!
This also made me understand even more what kind of power Hashirama Senju, the God of the Shinobi World, possessed as a great ninja.
"There's no way we can stop this. If Lord Uya were still alive, and he joined forces with the Lord Hokage, there might be a sliver of hope."
"No, even if Lord Uya were here, he couldn't possibly stop it. This one is ten times the size of the previous one!"
In the distance, the Anbu Ninja who could only watch from the sidelines, unable to intervene, all wore expressions of horror and despair.
Behind them, Minato Namikaze, who was directing the evacuation of the crowd, gasped when he saw this scene. He gritted his teeth and rushed to the side of Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others.
" Minato?"
Seeing Minato Namikaze approaching, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, who were unsure how to react, all looked over.
" Lord Hokage, please allow me to move it using the Flying Thunder God Technique."
His words were astonishing, instantly surprising Orochimaru, Danzo, and the others.
"You've learned the Flying Thunder God?!"
"I just learned it."
Minato Namikaze took a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination, and he was ready.
He had just learned the Flying Thunder God and hadn't yet developed the techniques from the original story. The only way to move the Tailed Beast Bomb was to use his own body to carry it along with him.
He must be moved back the instant he is moved; if there is even the slightest mistake, he is doomed.
"No! This is too dangerous!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was the first to react and immediately shook his head.
Minato Namikaze has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, and he's so young—his talent is astonishing. Even if he can't compare to Uya, he's definitely a rising star. How can we let Minato Namikaze fall here?
"But there's no other way."
Konoha is too big; even with the help of ninjas, evacuating all civilians is not something that can be done in a short time.
If this Tailed Beast Bomb were to fall into Konoha behind them, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable.
" Minato, even if you can remove this Tailed Beast Bomb, what about the third and fourth ones?"
Jiraiya looked at Minato Namikaze and couldn't help but give a wry smile.
These words caused Minato Namikaze's expression to freeze for a moment, after which he could only say in a deep voice, "Move as many as you can. For Konoha, even if we can't hold them off, we must fight with all our might!"
Well said.
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath, revealing an expression of approval. At the same time, he sighed inwardly, thinking that Minato Namikaze's heart made him the best inheritor of Konoha 'Will of Fire.
The next moment, the enormous Tailed Beast Bomb finally hurtled towards Konoha, and Tailed Beast Bomb Minato Namikaze a determined look as he charged towards it, ready to fight to the death to stop it.
But in the next instant, Minato Namikaze abruptly stopped.
Because, without a sound, a figure appeared out of thin air at the very front of everyone.
" Uya?!"
Upon seeing that figure, Minato Namikaze was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Jiraiya and the others behind him were also surprised, not expecting Uya to return at this time.
Jiraiya notified Mount Myōboku when the Nine-Tails went berserk, but he learned that Uya had left Mount Myōboku many days earlier and he was unable to contact Uya at all.
Jiraiya had no choice but to give up.
Even if Uya were notified, Uya wouldn't have had time to return from Mount Myōboku. And even if he could arrive in Uya, could he stop the Nine-Tails?!
If Jiraiya had previously thought that Uya might be able to stop the Nine-Tails, after witnessing the Nine-Tails ' terrifying power, he had no such thoughts at all.
That was a force that no human could possibly withstand! To be continued.
