Chapter 178 Konoha still needs me!
Poof!
With blood spattering, Namikaze Minato's pupils shrank, and he blurted out in shock: "So fast!"
The Flying Thunder God was indeed fast enough and appeared in an instant, but the moment he waved the kunai, the Third Raikage had already reacted and blocked it at his throat with his arm.
The Wind Escape Chakra Knife only left a scar on his arm, and a violent fist flashing with lightning had already struck at his face.
"The yellow-haired brat is looking for death!"
The Third Raikage was furious, almost! Just a little bit closer!
He was obviously about to ascend to the throne of legend in the ninja world, but he almost capsized in the gutter.
With the roar of thunder and a loud bang, the surrounding earth collapsed.
"Damn it, you're not even dead!"
When Minato Namikaze saw that his timing-defeating move failed, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi showed anger, and Minato Namikaze even broke out in a cold sweat. He was almost there just now...
"Sandaime-sama, Raikage's speed and reaction are too fast!"
If it weren't for his Flying Thunder God's space ninjutsu, he wouldn't have been able to dodge the counterattack just now, but even so, there were still some fine wounds caused by gravel on his cheek.
There was an angry roar in the thunder, and the Third Raikage roared, but a layer of cold sweat broke out on his face, and he almost capsized in the gutter.
"It's Konoha's space ninjutsu! It's the kunai that was shot under the cover of ninjutsu just now!"
At this time, Ai, the Third Raikage, was recalling the battle just now. Sarutobi Hiruzen's five-escape bomb chain just now secretly fired five weird kunai.
"So the space ninjutsu appears based on this technique!"
And all of this happened in an instant. From the appearance of Namikaze Minato to the third Raikage Ai smashing the ground in front of him with his fist, it only took an instant!
At this moment, the mentality of the ninjas on both sides of the battlefield took another roller coaster ride.
"Haha, long live Raikage-sama!"
"Despicable! Konoha three against one!"
"Kill! Support the Third Raikage!"
The Kumo ninja side roared and roared one after another, and the Third Raikage's feat of one against three completely brought the morale of the Kumo ninja side to its peak.
Especially since the opponent was the legendary Ninja, this battle could be said to have straightened the backbone of Kumo Ninja.
"You guys in Konoha, we Kumo ninja are the strongest!"
"Haha, Shinobu is nothing but a bear in front of our Raikage-sama!"
Compared to the Kumo ninja, whose morale was greatly boosted and each of them almost entered the state of berserker, Konoha's side showed an anxious expression.
Losing one against one can be interpreted as being restrained. It is embarrassing enough to be beaten two against one, but now three against one, it is still the same!
Is this still the strongest Hokage in Konoha?
Shame on you!
"Ye, the situation has changed. Kumogakure's collapse plan is not very optimistic."
After Uchiha Mikoto appeared beside her, she lowered her voice and spoke solemnly.
Uchiha Ye's mouth twitched even more after hearing this. This is not very optimistic at all. He was clearly being held down and beaten.
"Let us Uchiha elites be careful."
Damn it!
The Konoha ninjas on the battlefield were all numb after being beaten like this, and all of them had their eyes wide open, in disbelief.
They thought about many possibilities of failure, and even the highest probability of intelligence leakage, but they never thought that the problem would arise when their shadow could not beat the opponent's shadow.
One-on-one, two-on-one, and three-on-one are still beaten!
Outrageous!
Kumogakure collapsed the plan, and they were on the battlefield. Even though the Kumo ninjas were numerous, powerful, and even entered a violent state, the ninjas from the major families still held each other down and fought together.
As a result, under the duel between Ying, it turned out the other way around!
"Damn it! Is this what the Third Generation called Kumogakure's collapse plan?"
"The Third Hokage was defeated! How could this happen!"
Xiaochun, who was commanding the battlefield in the distance, stared in shock. She didn't know how she got through this moment. It was so magical!
But the next moment, she calmly thought of the more serious consequences, and said urgently:
"Send the order! Be prepared to protect the Third Hokage's retreat. The Third Hokage can be defeated, but he must not be killed on the battlefield!"
"Konoha ninja listen to the order and be prepared to cover the retreat of the Third Hokage. We must not let our Hokage be killed on the battlefield!"
Everyone in Konoha's face turned green, they were all aggrieved and unwilling, how could this happen!
Their three-on-one Hokage fights were like this. If the third Hokage was really killed in front of their eyes, it would be earth-shattering, and even the situation in the ninja world would change.
In full view of the public, the Third Hokage in the barrier teamed up with Shimura Danzo and a space ninjutsu ninja, but they were all beaten down.
"Haha, Sarutobi, Danzo! From today on, you will be the stepping stones for my Third Raikage!"
The eyes of the Third Raikage, who became more and more courageous as he fought, were full of extreme excitement. He did not expect that Konoha's Kage was actually capable of this.
While venting viciously, it is also a psychological tactic,
Oh shit! If you dare to come here at this level, you are seeking death!
Under the violent and crazy thunder, the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzo are not weak. Even under the overwhelming ninjutsu, how many Kage level dare to take on it head-on?
But this time they encountered the Third Raikage, whose ultimate ninjutsu almost ignored most ninjutsu attacks.
Namikaze Minato is constantly flashing in the barrier, and the third generation and Shimura Danzo are often saved by his use of space ninjutsu.
Although this also gave the two more opportunities to use ninjutsu, they could not break their defense even if they used ninjutsu!
"Hiruzhan, you must restrain the opponent, otherwise you will have no chance at all!"
It's so fast! Even if they have some terrifyingly powerful forbidden arts, they can't hit them!
"Minato be careful!"
At this moment, Ai, the Third Raikage, suddenly laughed ferociously and turned into a lightning strike towards Minato Namikaze.
"First kill you, you annoying yellow-haired brat!"
Under the raging thunder, when Namikaze Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape, his expression suddenly changed and he said angrily:
"No! Raikage's target is the barrier!"
When they discovered it, it was too late. The violent thunder struck a corner of the Four Purple Flame Formation in an instant. With the sound of the barrier shattering, Hiruzen Sarutobi in the distance roared angrily:
"Shinnosuke!"
The defensive power of the Four Purple Flame Formation is absolutely amazing, not to mention that this time there are eight jounin, two in each corner.
However, Namikaze Minato, who worked with Shinnosuke to maintain the barrier, joined the battle, causing the strongest corner of the barrier to become a weak point.
With a roar, the light of thunder instantly appeared on the battlefield, and everyone in Konoha was numb at this moment.
Kumogakure's collapse plan completely failed!
And the Kumo ninjas shouted excitedly one by one: "Long live Raikage-sama!"
"Long live!"
The Third Raikage, who rushed out from the barrier, was as violent as a tailed beast out of its cage, and charged directly into the Konoha camp without any hesitation.
"Haha, you bastards of Konoha! It was you who started the war against our Kumo ninjas! Now I declare in the name of the Third Raikage! The Kumo ninjas have officially launched a counterattack against Konoha! Revenge!"
"Hoho...Long live Raikage-sama!"
The third generation Raikage who appeared on the battlefield at this moment was infinitely higher in the eyes of countless Kumo ninjas. The Raikage-sama they followed was a legend in the ninja world!
"Quick! Hurry and cover the Third Hokage..."
The morale of the Kumo ninja side was greatly boosted, but the Konoha side was full of panic.
As the Third Raikage rushed out, the Four Purple Flame Formation shattered, and it was also announced that Konoha's Kumogakure collapse plan had completely failed.
"Raikage!" At this time, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen walked out of the smoke and looked at the Third Raikage angrily with his eyes about to burst.
It was this person who dragged him down from the altar! He hates and is angry! He is unwilling to give up!
"Danzo, give me the root. All ninjas in Konoha obey my orders and surround me with the Raikage. I must not let the Raikage live today!"
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked like a madman, and his eyes were covered with ferocious bloodshot eyes. As long as the Third Raikage lived for one day, then who was he?
He carefully planned the collapse of the Kumo ninja who wanted to achieve supreme glory, but in the end he became a clown, which he would never allow!
Especially the impact on the situation after this failure was extremely bad!
A high-ranking person was suddenly dragged off the altar. Such a blow would bring even a strong person like Sandai to the point of collapse.
"Haha, if Sarutobi Hiruzen hadn't had too many ninjas in Konoha, I would have cut off your head in front of you ninjas in Konoha today!"
The Third Raikage Ai was like a god of thunder, completely going berserk in the Konoha camp. Although his strength was still the same as before, his momentum had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Before that, he was the third generation Raikage of Hidden Cloud Village, and that was all!
But now, he was one on three on the battlefield, defeating the legendary Third Hokage in the ninja world in front of the Konoha ninjas.
There seems to be no change, but it is just a change in will and momentum. The third generation Raikage seems to be stronger.
This is not an illusion, but it has really become stronger, because the essence of chakra is the combination of spiritual energy and physical energy. Today's battle has made the third generation Raikage think that he is a legendary invincible, causing his chakra to become more concentrated. Reality.
It may sound like a myth, but it is a fact. For example, when Sanshouyu Hanzo lost faith in his later period, his chakra and body were not weakened, but his strength was much weaker.
In the same way, under the belief of invincibility, the third generation Raikage's chakra became more solid!
Following the name of Konoha's third generation of Naruto, the third generation of Raikage Ai's belief in invincibility was forged.
Xiaochun, who saw the change in the situation in the distance, looked extremely ugly and said in a deep voice:
"Instruct all Uchiha, Hinata, Anbu, and Genbu elites to cover the retreat of the Third Hokage!"
No chance of winning anymore!
"Sandaime-sama, retreat, the plan has failed!"
"Hiruzen, the Raikage was in the barrier because he was afraid that we would entangle him, so he took the opportunity to break the barrier!"
Compared with Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was on the verge of mental collapse and looked like a madman and angry man, Danzo Shimura, who was in a panic, was extremely calm.
After the Third Raikage came out of the cage, they failed. If they were in the barrier before, there was still a chance. As long as they restrained the opponent, they could also activate some kind of forbidden technique.
But on the vast battlefield, the Third Raikage's thunder had no restraints and unleashed its unbridled fury. They couldn't catch the thunder at all.
If on the battlefield, the Third Raikage is the unparalleled berserker, then the Third Hokage is the ninjutsu turret.
But it would have been okay if the two sides could still distinguish themselves before, but now the two sides have long been fighting together, which has restricted his overwhelming and large-scale ninjutsu attack.
Therefore, it gives people the illusion that the Third Hokage has no ability to stop it on the battlefield, but the Third Raikage is unscrupulous.
In the end, in such a tragic situation, the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's crazy scene made Shimura Danzo shocked and angry, but at the same time there was a hint of joy in his heart.
"Hiruzhan, calm down! Now all Konoha ninjas obey my orders and cover the Hokage's retreat! Retreat!"
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the situation has changed now, and Konoha's best choice is to retreat first.
"Danzo! I am the Hokage! I now order you to kill the Raikage at all costs!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen roared, his eyes were red, how could he be defeated! This defeat not only ruined his supreme reputation, but also ruined all his plans.
His defeat will cause Konoha to fall into the quagmire of war!
"Hiruzen! Wake up!"
For the first time, when faced with Sarutobi Hiruzen's righteous intention to remove the Hokage, Shimura Danzo showed an angry face and pointed at the battlefield angrily.
"There is no point in continuing to fight. What we have to do now is to regain our strength! Konoha will face more serious problems!"
After being angry, Danzo Shimura felt an excitement that he could not even imagine deep in his heart. He could actually refute the Hokage!
Even his greedy desire made him see Hiruzen fall from the altar after this time. The position of Hokage was crumbling. He could finally touch this position!
"Hiruzhan, the war has broken out. Konoha is in the most critical moment due to the turmoil in the ninja world. The village still needs us!"
At this moment, through the secret technique of the mountain clan, Koharu's voice appeared in the minds of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo and others.
"The village still needs us!"
With just this sentence, Sarutobi Hiruzen regained some clarity in his eyes, and when he went to bed, Koharu also said anxiously:
"Hiruzhan, we led Konoha over in the first battle, and we also won the second world war! Now the third war has just begun. I believe that as long as we are still here, Konoha will be able to overcome the crisis..."
As Koharu's voice before going to bed echoed in his mind, Sarutobi Hiruzen's confused eyes seemed to gradually begin to brighten after he found the meaning of his life.
Konoha still needs him!
He also needs to lead Konoha out of the quagmire again!
"Minato, give the order to retreat!"
After regaining his composure, Sarutobi Hiruzen was unwilling to give in, but he thought that for the sake of the village, he must not die easily on the battlefield, and directly issued the order to retreat.
"Retreat! All Konoha ninjas take turns to cover. Don't be reluctant to fight. Cover the retreat of the Third Hokage!"
Koharu's words when he also went to bed gave Danzo Shimura a terrifying thought that he couldn't even imagine.
Konoha is about to face the four major ninja villages joining forces. Danzo Shimura turns the tide in this war, saves Konoha from fire and water, and achieves supreme fame!
And for this important misstep in war decision-making, Hiruzen Sarutobi took the blame and resigned. He is the Hokage of Konoha!
"I can become Hokage too!"
Danzo Shimura was excited at this moment!
"Retreat! Cover the Hokage's retreat..."
Namikaze Minato also saw the situation, and if the fight continued, let alone the elites of the major families, they would be here.
Just say that if the current Third Hokage is really killed by Raikage on the battlefield, then it will be a nightmare for Konoha.
"Kill! All Kumo ninja follow Raikage-sama and kill Sarutobi!"
Kumogakure's collapse plan failed. Kumo Shinobi had already abandoned various positions and was already prepared to rescue the Raikage and retreat.
As a result, Konoha made a big mistake, but the temporary commander of Kumo Ninja did not make a big deal. Instead, he was shocked by the intelligence and at the same time hurriedly issued the most correct combat deployment.
"Instruct our ninjas to follow Lord Raikage to hunt down the Third Hokage!"
After Tsunade, who was commanding the frontline operations, received an urgent report that she needed to support the Third Hokage, she immediately punched a Kumo ninja away in anger.
"Damn it! How did this battle end? Now I'm about to break the Kumo ninja's defense line, and now you tell me to let me support?"
At this time, Tsunade was angrier than ever before, pointing at the Konoha ninja behind her and roaring:
"You know that this order now will not only make us Konoha ninjas give up the victory we have won, but even an accidental war will burn our Land of Fire!"
No wonder Tsunade is angry, she is actually leading the Konoha Ninja Legion herself, and good news is coming from all fronts. Even the most difficult positions are about to be destroyed by her, but now she is asked to withdraw her troops!
"What is going on!? The Sandaime leads the most elite army in Konoha!"
Facing Tsunade's questioning, Namikaze Minato, who came to ask for help using the Flying Thunder God, turned pale. There was no extra time to explain at this time.
"Tsunade-sama, the Third Hokage is injured. We are being chased by the Kumo ninja army led by the Third Raikage. Once the Third Hokage is on the battlefield..."
When Tsunade heard the result, her face turned green and her eyes widened. What a joke! She thought about many possibilities of failure, but she never thought that something would go wrong here in the third generation.
The Third Hokage is being hunted? A mistake could even lead to serious consequences such as being killed on the battlefield?
"Send my order!"
At this moment, Tsunade did not hesitate at all, and directly and decisively shouted out orders one after another.
"Immediately send a message to our ninjas to abandon the captured positions, concentrate their forces, and return to defense! At the same time, the third, fourth, and sixth detachments will follow me and immediately support the Third Hokage!"
Under Tsunade's angry roar, her anger turned into anger. She also knew how serious the consequences would be if a shadow was killed, even if the victory was given up.
