Chapter 143: Fall (Part 2)

The orange eye shadow of Minato Namikaze gradually faded. After removing this super-large dark art, his chakra volume dropped sharply again, and the sweat beads on his forehead were proof of this.

If it weren't for the support of the perfect sage mode, his chakra volume would have been completely exhausted with just this one blow.

But it was okay. Although more chakra was consumed, the remaining power was barely enough to suppress the restless Nine-Tails.

The place where Minato Namikaze took Xiang and Chen Long to move was the top of the crown of a giant towering tree.

This place was hundreds of meters away from the scorched earth battlefield in the distance, with a wide field of vision, and it was an absolutely safe place. As for the Flying Thunder God Mark, he had prepared it in advance. Using his eyesight to look far away, he could clearly see that Ziyoui and a group of cloud ninjas were already in a state of panic. Most of the dozens of cloud ninjas who had joined forces to cast the super lightning array pillar had not yet recovered from the backlash of the illusion. As for the huge Yatabi, it seemed that there was a problem after using the small tailed beast ball. The huge body burning with blazing flames showed abnormal agitation, which was very much like the control of the two-tail by the wooden man, and began to decline.

After all, it was not a perfect Jinchūriki...

Seeing Ziyoui calling for the rectification of the chaotic cloud ninja troops, and being overwhelmed by the news that he had suffered the consequences after the failure of the tactics, and had to do the tricky finishing work for the two-tail that might go out of control, Namikaze Minato, who had successfully withdrawn, was in a good mood. In this battle, Konoha can be said to have basically won.

After a long breath, Namikaze Minato turned his head and looked behind him.

He smiled faintly and said, "The Second Generation is a genius in developing ninjutsu. Each of his powerful ninjutsu, as long as it can be mastered, is enough to turn the tide in the battle."

"In fact, illusion is not my specialty. The short-term use like just now is already my limit..."

"Fourth Generation, you are too modest. In the past few decades of Konoha, you are the only ninja who can truly carry forward the Second Generation's signature ninjutsu..." Xiang obviously did not agree with Minato Namikaze's modesty. His eyes under the mask were still full of admiration.

Minato Namikaze felt helpless in his heart for Xiang's praise.

The dark walk technique he used just now was actually just a temporary effort. Minato Namikaze of course spent time studying all the ninjutsu handed down by Senju Tobirama. He carefully studied and mastered some of the ones that fit his fighting style, and those that he had no chance to use after learning were just a taste.

This dark walk technique with A-level difficulty belongs to the latter.

The chakra attributes of Minato Namikaze are fire, wind, thunder, yin and yang, so even though illusion is not his specialty, he still has the conditions to learn it. The reason why it is said to be reluctantly used is because the most difficult part of this technique is not to master it, but to be able to stably control the chakra and continuously create a dark environment that blocks the enemy's vision.

In the situation just now, Minato Namikaze really only needed to use it for a short time to achieve the purpose of saving people, so this time it was really not for him to be Versailles...

"Although I am very sorry for dragging down Lord Hokage, but seeing that you are safe, we have completed the instructions of Chief of Staff Shikaku and the village." Chen Long interrupted with relief and shame.

"Senior Chen Long... actually came on behalf of the village..." Minato Namikaze was slightly startled, and he didn't understand why the village sent ninjas to take such risks just to confirm their own safety.

"Of course, Konoha has lost the Third Hokage in the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and you, the Fourth Hokage, certainly cannot make any more mistakes..." Chen Long explained righteously. Although he was tired of his ninja career and had the idea of ​​retiring, he had almost dedicated his entire life to Konoha, and he still couldn't help but care about the future of the village.

After hearing this, Xiang seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Minato Namikaze suddenly realized that he was not an ordinary Konoha ninja after all. Although he was confident that he could escape unscathed in the face of a large number of enemies, from the perspective of the village, he would not be completely assured to let his Kage take risks.

He didn't know what to say for a while, but he felt that the concept of what was a Kage and what was a village seemed to be clearer in his mind.

After a burst of emotion, which eventually turned into firm confidence, Minato Namikaze turned his eyes to the battlefield in the distance again and said: "Don't worry, Konoha will win this battle..."

The next thing to do is to evacuate safely.

Just when Minato Namikaze thought that Xiang and Chen Long came for the same purpose, the latter suddenly revealed his true intention.

"Special emergency information?"

"... It seems that you told me in advance, and Anbu Qing sent it back." Xiang saw that Minato Namikaze was slightly stunned, and it was obvious that he had forgotten what he had asked of him, so he chose to hand over the information directly.

However, when Minato Namikaze suddenly heard the code name Qing, his heart suddenly jumped, and he felt a little ominous.

Then he looked at the appearance of the small fiery red scroll that Xiang presented, and his face finally changed slightly...

Immediately took it and read it.

After reading it, his face became even uglier.

The elephant on the side suddenly felt uneasy when he saw this. He could see that Lord Hokage valued the ANBU member codenamed Haru very much. When she first joined the ANBU, he deliberately arranged for her not to be given an exception to perform any ANBU tasks, and even the transfer rights were not given to him as an ANBU. Captain, he abnormally started doing civilian work...

It wasn't until not long ago that he was suddenly dispatched, reportedly on a secret lurking mission.

Xiang only knew about Haru that he was a female ninja who was proficient in espionage abilities, but he didn't know much else. But in any case, in his eyes, the information that represented the cost of life in the hands of the Hokage should not be good news. After all, this was the first time he saw the gentle and indifferent Yondaime showing such an expression.

Yes, the fiery red color represents the meaning of the will of fire. Since the ANBU members have returned such information scrolls, they have basically paid the price with their own lives...

…

A few kilometers away, under a cedar tree.

The three Konoha ninjas in white cloaks seemed to be waiting anxiously for something. One of them took out the blank scroll on his body from time to time to check if there were any changes.

Whenever I find that there is no change, I feel disappointed, but after a while, I can't help but take it out, look again, and feel disappointed again...

At this time, another person couldn't stand it anymore and complained: "Vasi, are you so excited?"

Shiranui Genma was holding a thousand books in his mouth, leaning against the tree with his arms folded, and was much calmer than Iwahi. The reason why I say this is because as a junior, his performance at this time is really no different from those rookie genin who have never been on the battlefield. After all, several of them are members of the Yondaime Shadow Guards. Although there are no outsiders here, this behavior is too low...

However, Iwashi didn't pay much attention to Captain Genma's complaints. Instead, he asked with excitement: "Captain Genma, it's obviously your first time to participate in the war as a Shadow Guard. Don't you look forward to it?" Want to show off your skills?"

When the carefree Shiranui Genma heard this, his eyes drifted into the distance, still looking calm: "Well, I do hope that we won't be needed on the front line..."

"Tsk tsk, you guy can actually become the captain of the Shadow Guard. I really can't understand it."

A sarcastic voice came, and Shiranui Genma didn't even look, but he knew it was Hiashirui from a distance walking over. He curled his lips and retorted subconsciously: "Of course, the position of captain must be filled by those with strong abilities. It seems that some people are still not convinced yet."

"Hey, you are so passive and lazy. I am really unhappy. I will have a fight with you when I get back!"

I was full of dissatisfaction, but there was nothing I could do about it.

"This is not negative. Think about it carefully. If we are not needed, does it mean that everything is going well for the Hokage-sama and the ANBU? Isn't this a good thing?" Shiranui Genma rolled his eyes and said sophistry.

"As expected of Captain Genma, it seems to make sense..." After hearing this, the simple Iwashi nodded thoughtfully.

But they are not very similar, but they are not easy to fool. He said speechlessly: "Vasi, don't believe him, he just wants to be lazy..."

…

The appearance of this Genma team here was actually a coincidence. They were about to return to the village, but unexpectedly they learned about the Kumo ninja's raid on Konoha on the way. After contacting Namikaze Minato in the village, they changed their route and rushed there. At this point, we are on standby as reinforcements at the northeastern border.

According to the prior arrangement, once the ANBU troops are unable to withstand the enemy and suffer heavy casualties, they possess the skill of flying thunder formations and can assist the ANBU and carry out safe transfer and protection evacuation tasks. Of course, they also have a special secret of communication and can receive orders from Namikaze Minato at any time. The blank scroll in Iwahi's hand is this.

Although, unless extremely special circumstances arise, it is absolutely impossible for Namikaze Minato to summon them.

After all, the function of some shadow guards is to protect the shadows on the surface, but in reality they are guards protected by the shadows...

"Wait a minute, there is an order coming, Hokage-sama really sent an order!!"

Just as Shiranui Genma and Tamazakure were chatting and bickering, Iwaki suddenly looked at the scroll in his hand and shouted with excitement.
