Konoha's Zhige

"Naruto, get out of the way!"

"Wait, Sasuke, are you going to kill me?"

Naruto, who was lying on Shukaku's back, panicked when he saw the seven-meter-long lightning chain coming towards him.

Zhi Ge and Meng Tapir had a spiritual connection, and just when the 'Thousand Birds - Thunder Chain Technique' was about to touch it, they automatically returned to the psychic world.

'Chidori - Thunder Chain Jutsu' saw off Shukaku's legs with a sweeping force of thousands of troops. Shukaku lost his balance and fell to the ground. Naruto was thrown away under the huge momentum, and Sasuke was also thrown It was blown away.

"It hurts so much! It hurts so much!"

The pain caused by his legs being sawed off made Shukaku roll on the ground. Even a tailed beast would take some time to recover from such an injury.

Zhige would not let go of this golden opportunity. If Shukaku was allowed to recover, everything would be over. He didn't think there would be a chance to escape in front of the crazy Shukaku.

Without giving Shukaku a chance to react, Shadow punched Gaara hard in the face.

Gaara's drooping head reacted instantly, and the moment he opened his eyes meant

"Damn it, damn it, I haven't had enough fun yet!"

Shukaku disappeared, and Gaara regained his autonomy. After Shukaku made such a fuss, all the chakra in his body was exhausted.

"Uchiha Zhige!"

Even Shukaku can't do anything to him? Gaara raised his fist and swung it at Zhige. His physical skills were worse than Naruto's. It was really not enough. Zhige stepped on his head.

"Let go of Gaara!"

Impossible, the perfect Shukaku was defeated, and there was no time for them to lament now, so Temari and Kankuro stood up.

Standing behind Zhi Ge were Sasuke, Naruto, Shikamaru and Izumi.

Shikamaru was the first to speak: "Five against two, you'd better give up resistance!"

"Hmph! How would you know if you don't check?"

Kankuro was just tough-talking, but his opponent was Gaara, who tried his best and couldn't even touch Shukaku's body. How could he and Temari be rivals?

"Why? You could obviously run away, why did you come back?"

Gaara, who was stepped on the ground by Zhi Ge and was eating dirt, raised his head and asked in confusion.

"What are you talking about? We are on the same team, and you are our Sand Ninja's ace."

Kankuro smiled and replied that this was the first time he had seen Gaara in such a fragile state.

"You are our brother!"

Temari also smiled, looking at Gaara in this state, she couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Forget it, I won't fight!"

Gaara closed his eyes, feeling like he had never had this feeling of being nourished by someone.

※※※

In the barrier of the 'Four Purple Flame Formation', Namikaze Minato, Raikage and Kazekage were all injured as the battle raged on.

The Raikage and Namikaze Minato are old rivals, and they know each other's speed well. In the not-so-large barrier, the Kazekage's ability can somewhat restrain Namikaze Minato's 'Flying Thunder God Technique'! ’

The longer the battle drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be to the invading party. The battle must be fought quickly. The Kazekage reminded Raikage: "Raikage, be careful, don't be affected by my technique."

‘Sand Escape—The Great Storm Technique! ’

The overwhelming placer gold is rolling up like a tornado. Even if your spell is on the placer gold, in this case, you can't even think about flying unless you want to be sucked into the storm.

"Humph!"

Raikage laughed and took the initiative to step into the storm.

"Raikage, why are you doing this?"

Kazekage asked.

"Wow wow wow!"

The roar of the storm and the thunder shadow's voice came from inside. Although they were very close, they sounded like they were far away.

"Kazekage, don't underestimate me. A mere storm is nothing under my 'Thunder Armor'. Namikaze Minato's 'Flying Thunder God' technique will not disappear, and I will not let him use it. "

Feng Ying's 'big storm' ravaged the entire barrier, and nothing could be seen. It lasted for several minutes before the storm gradually weakened and disappeared.

"That's enough. I hope the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato can get some territory suitable for survival!"

Fengying murmured.

Lei Ying took the initiative to unlock the 'Thunder Armor' and stared at Feng Ying solemnly. His reputation was far less famous than theirs, but his strength was not inferior to theirs at all. You have to pay attention to it in the future.

"Huh? Where is Minato Namikaze?

The Raikage's eyes widened, there was no sign of Namikaze Minato in the barrier at all.

"It must have been torn into pieces."

"No way, that's not a killing ninjutsu."

Kazekage explained.

"call out--!"

Two special kunai were inserted into their sides, and then two Namikaze Minato responded and greeted them unceremoniously with the 'Rasengan'.

“Crack—!”

A strange vortex suddenly appeared in the air, and a masked man wearing a red auspicious cloud and black robe appeared in a strange situation.

"Bang-bang-!"

The two shadow clones of Namikaze Minato were separated by the mysterious masked man.

"Reinforcement?"

"helper?"

The Kazekage and Raikage looked at each other to confirm that neither of them were from the other side.

"I am an ally of Orochimaru, and I am on the same side as you."

The masked man spoke.

Damn Orochimaru, why didn't he know it? It's really not a wise move to cooperate with such a dangerous person, Raikage thought angrily.

For Kazekage, the more allies the better. What he cares about is why Namikaze Minato can live in peace in the 'big storm'.

"I saw you being caught in the storm, why weren't you injured, Hokage?"

Even though the relationship was hostile, Namikaze Minato still acted like a gentleman. He smiled and replied: "I didn't get involved, but I walked in on my own initiative."

A big storm covering the entire barrier is unavoidable, but this technique is not without its weaknesses. Namikaze Minato once read a passage describing a desert sandstorm in his teacher Jiraiya's novel.

"The outer edges of the storm are more powerful, while the closer to the central eye, the calmer it becomes!"

He made the right bet, using the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' for several consecutive minutes in the center of the eye of the storm to avoid the Kazekage's technique.

The situation is getting worse and worse. One-on-two is already a bit reluctant, and there is another mysterious person who ignores the barrier. It seems that today we have to fight hard.

Raikage once again entered the 'Thunder Armor' state. He could see that after the technique just now, Kazekage's condition had deteriorated sharply. Now he had to rely on him. As for this mysterious masked man, he didn't care. This belonged to the village. The War of the Chief Shadow.

Namikaze Minato should be able to use the 'Flying Thunder God 2nd Stage' to throw kunai at the moment he attacks him, and then fly behind him and launch the attack, so he can take advantage of this.

‘Thunder plow hot knife! ’

The Thunder Release Chakra gathered in his arms, and the Raikage launched a very fast attack as a bait.

Just when the Raikage's attack was about to touch Namikaze Minato's skin, the latter disappeared.

Sure enough, the well-prepared Raikage stepped on the ground, and the surrounding tiles immediately fell apart.

Use the recoil to jump up, concentrate the Thunder Chakra in your hands and dive down with a powerful hand sword.

‘Thunder-torture level Chiyomai! ’

‘Boom——’

There was a big hole in the roof, but Minato Namikaze was nowhere to be seen.

‘Spiral Flash Super Round Dance Roar Three Styles! ’

After using several specially made kunai in succession, Namikaze Minato performed a triple jump, his target was the weak-looking Kazekage.

Firstly, the Kazekage poses a greater threat to him, and secondly, he takes advantage of you and takes your life. Namikaze Minato made a wise choice.

"Don't try to succeed!"

The masked man understood Namikaze Minato's thoughts and blocked the front of the Kazekage in advance. He passed through the virtual masked man and lost his balance at the moment when he was about to be caught by the masked man.

‘Flying Thunder God 2nd Stage! ’

The kunai was thrown upward, and then Minato Namikaze appeared behind the masked man again.

‘Sand Escape—Wind Burial Technique! ’

The Kazekage who was saved his life naturally wouldn't watch, and slashed at Namikaze Minato with a sharp sword made of placer gold.

He couldn't care about that much anymore, so he killed one first. The furious Namikaze Minato ignored the Kazekage's Rasengan behind him and rubbed the masked man fiercely.

"Wow!"

The masked man spat out a mouthful of blood, and flesh and blood flew everywhere on his back.

Namikaze Minato also paid the price of an arm for this.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Coughing violently, if it were not for the cells of White Zetsu and the First Hokage, Uchiha Obito might have ended up here.

"As expected of Yellow Flash, my mission is completed and I'll leave it to you!"

After saying that, Obito, who had just arrived with the sudden appearance of a 'whirlpool' in the air, left the scene.
