I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

Countless Narutos, holding huge Rasengan in their hands, rushed towards the Chibaku Tensei fearlessly.

But the Chibaku Tensei still maintained its original appearance, but these clones successfully gave Naruto some time to delay his movement, and Naruto left the battlefield as quickly as possible.

Naruto scratched his head, wondering where the main body was.

"Kid, use your Sage Mode, that thing can greatly enhance your perception!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox began to remind Naruto inside his body that although it disdainful of such power, it had to admit that there were some things that chakra could not do.

"I see! Got it!"

Naruto, who was originally wearing the tailed beast's cloak, changed his appearance again, especially his pupils turned into golden cross-shaped pupils.

Only with the consent of the Nine-Tails can Naruto use two powers at the same time, otherwise the Nine-Tails will instinctively reject natural energy.

"There is a ship near the island. Payne's real body should be there!"

Naruto opened his eyes again, the ship was too obvious to be doubted.

"Right there, I can sense a trace of the power of old man Liudao!"

After Naruto's reminder, Nine-Tails also confirmed it.

Seeing that Naruto was out of the range of Chibaku Tensei, Tendou stopped performing it. The condensed earth ball fell directly onto the island. After the smoke dissipated, Tendou said.

“He actually ran away!”

After taking a look at Minato lying on the ground, Tiandao didn't hesitate and chased after him with the rest of the people.

Minato couldn't help but smile bitterly as he watched Tendou going away. There was nothing he could do now.

"The Yondaime Hokage."

After a while, a low shout was heard, and a vigilant Kumogakure ninja slowly walked over. Originally, he was a member of the liaison team, who had been observing from a distance and contacting the Raikage and others anytime and anywhere.

Only after seeing Tiandao leave did he muster up the courage to come over.

Minato started to struggle when he saw someone. He couldn't make any sound and could only express his thoughts through actions. He kept looking at the black stick to signal the other party to pull it out.

The members of the liaison team also understood what Minato meant, and took out the black rods inserted into the other party's body one by one, while continuing to speak.

"I saw you in all your might during the Third World War, but I never thought the leader of Akatsuki would be so strong."

Minato's body gradually recovered, and the power of the Impure World Reincarnation began to take effect.

"Have you told the Raikage about Pain's intelligence? When will their support arrive?"

Minato began to inquire after regaining the ability to speak.

"Don't worry, we have already informed Lord Raikage of this information, and they are on their way here."

The ninja from the liaison squad spoke slowly.

"Then I'm relieved. However, it's still too dangerous to let Naruto deal with Pein alone. I have to hurry over. Fortunately, he has the Flying Thunder God Kunai I left behind."

Minato's originally nervous mood eased a lot. As long as he and Naruto could hold back Pain's real body, all problems could be solved.

A strange black and red space suddenly appeared behind the Cloud Hidden Ninja.

Minato's pupils shrank, and he saw a white arm extending from the black and red space and directly piercing the ninja's chest.

"who!"

Minato quickly distanced himself and tried to see the person coming clearly, but the other party was obviously faster than him. Even Minato's reflexes didn't have time to react before a cold wind blew behind him.

Poof—

It was that familiar black stick again. The person who came was holding the same black stick as Tiandao in his hand, but this time the feeling of suppression was stronger than that of Pain.

After just one insertion, Minato clearly felt that the chakra in his body could not function.

"Your abilities are too troublesome. Just be a spectator at this time."

A cold voice sounded, and Minato fell to the ground. He turned his head with all his strength, but only saw the blurry figure of the other person.

"Who is it?"

This was Minato's last thought before he lost consciousness. Even though he was a filthy-world body, he actually fell into a coma.

clang clang—

In another place, Kakashi was fighting with Sasuke with a ninja sword in his hand, and sparks from the collision of the ninja swords kept appearing in the air.

Even though there was a huge noise caused by the battle between the heavens in the distance, the expressions of the two did not change.

"It's boring."

After a blow, Sasuke put away his ninja sword and sat down directly, no longer wanting to fight with Kakashi.

"Uh, you guy..."

Kakashi scratched his head when he saw this. Wouldn't it be good for the two of them to just do nothing tacitly? Why were they too lazy to even pretend to do so?

"Teacher, why don't you join us? I can see that you are actually dissatisfied with Konoha."

Sasuke said calmly, leaning against a boulder.

"Did you know that Lady Tsunade is going to appoint me as the Sixth Hokage?"

Kakashi sighed. This was his character. Even if others were unjust, he could not be unkind.

"Do you care about this kind of thing? And when you come, I will help you get back the money Ye Lan owes you."

Sasuke raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

"I guess they lent you the money in the first place."

Kakashi glanced at the ninja sword in Sasuke's hand with displeasure.

Seeing the other person like this, Kakashi simply came to Sasuke and said after a long silence.

"Do you have to kill Naruto?"

Sasuke lowered his head slightly.

"This is the leader's decision. We can't stop it. To be exact, it's the Nine-Tails in Naruto's body."

Kakashi had never used his full strength, but he also knew that Sasuke was holding back. After a brief fight, he knew that his student had surpassed him.

"If it weren't for the Nine-Tails in Naruto's body, the teacher would have left long ago."

Kakashi sighed, and his eyes, which had always been smiling, were now filled with worry.

"You have no chance of winning. You should know that your enemies are not just us, but also the people of the entire world."

Sasuke said calmly.

Kakashi smiled bitterly and said, "I understand, but I can't let go of my emotions as a human being."

Sasuke stopped trying to persuade Kakashi, and the master and disciple enjoyed their rare quiet time. At this moment, they were no longer troubled by the complications of the world.

"Hey, we're still chatting. I've wasted a lot of energy here."

Kisame walked over slowly, carrying the Samehada sword.

Kakashi was stunned. He was so distracted that he didn't even notice Kisame's arrival.

Seeing Kakashi's alert look, Kisame waved his hand and said.

"Don't be nervous, just pretend I don't exist."

"Are all of you Yuyin so open-minded?"

If Kakashi was seen like this by the people of Konoha, they would definitely treat him as a spy, but Kisame's reaction was beyond his expectations.

Sasuke smiled at Kakashi's fuss.

"You have always been a target in Akatsuki's list. Besides, we dare to recruit Gaara, let alone you, a Konoha jonin."

Well, I am too narrow-minded.

Kakashi covered his head, he felt that Konoha's hope of winning was getting smaller and smaller.
