Chapter 19: Myoboku Mountain Reinforcements

The gate of Konoha Village.

The tall gate that was rebuilt since the second generation period is now only a ruin.

Not only that, the jet-type tailed beast ball of the Nine-Tails instantly melted the nearly 100-meter straight street behind the gate into ruins. Fortunately, at this time in Konoha Village, basically all the civilians have been transferred to safe shelters, so there are no casualties.

After the destruction, huge smoke and dust rose up, covering the sky and the sun.

"Nine-Tails! Nine-Tails is moving again!!!"

As soon as this jet-type tailed beast ball passed, a Hyuga clan ninja who was responsible for reconnaissance and perception in the distance opened his white eyes and shouted in fear.

Can't suppress it anymore?

Namikaze Minato released his hands on the shoulders of the two Anbu. Just now, when he was dodging the tailed beast ball, because he was close, he took the two Anbu ninjas out of danger while using Flying Thunder God.

The two people who reacted couldn't help but look at him with gratitude at this time.

However, in this critical situation, there was no time to say anything, and soon they were back in battle.

"...Minato."

After dodging the Tailed Beast Ball, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the ruined gates and streets of Konoha, and asked breathlessly: "It is not a wise move to fight with the Nine-Tails. Now that it has escaped, it may cause a greater disaster..."

"Do you have a way to force the seal?"

Here it comes.

Minato Namikaze's heart suddenly jumped when he heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's question.

At the same time, the sealing technique, the forbidden technique, the Shiki Fuujin...

As for forced sealing, it seems that only this sealing technique can do it, but even so, this trick can only seal half of the Nine-Tails' power.

After hesitating for a while, Minato Namikaze answered truthfully, although his face was bitter: "I'm afraid not, unless... that forbidden technique is used."

"But even if it is that technique, it should not be able to completely seal it..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression moved slightly, and he soon understood what the forbidden technique Minato Namikaze was talking about.

Because he had also studied the technique of Shiki Fuujin, the difficulty of this forbidden sealing technique was not high, especially for him, a ninjutsu doctor, but the consequences would cost his life, which made people daunting.

If it was against a person, the power would be more than enough, but if the target was the Nine-Tails...

"Third-generation sir, let me temporarily move the entire Nine-Tails to a place far away from the village. Now with my chakra, I should be able to do it..." Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen fall into a brief silence, his eyes flickered faintly, Minato Namikaze was unwilling to go this far in his heart.

So he had to temporarily come up with this method of drinking poison to quench thirst.

In his heart, he subconsciously wanted to choose to fight the Nine-Tails until it was consumed to a certain extent, and then use the Four Symbols Seal strategy.

"Transfer the entire Nine-Tails?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was slightly surprised. While he was surprised that Namikaze Minato had this ability, he rejected this proposal after a little thought, and shook his head and said: "The Nine-Tails is now in a controlled state. Even if you take it away from the village for a short time, it will still come back..."

Roar.

As he spoke, after the smoke and dust dissipated, the Nine-Tails, waving its tail, still irritable, ran again. The shocking force of the mountain shaking the earth was extremely stressful to the Konoha ninjas at close range.

Its target was the village.

The battle had lasted for more than an hour, and most people had basically exhausted all kinds of ninjutsu. Even if they attacked in batches, there would always be a time of fatigue.

"Third-generation sir, fourth-generation sir, the Nine-Tails is coming directly to the village." Nara Shikaku's anxious voice suddenly appeared in the minds of Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen. Even a good cook cannot cook without rice. No matter how good and perfect the strategy is, the chakra and physical strength of the Konoha ninjas under his command are not sustainable. So even he seems helpless when facing the Nine-Tails' violent rush into the village.

"Don't make unnecessary sacrifices. Those who are exhausted all retreat. Leave this to me and the Fourth Generation..." Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly shouted loudly after coming to his senses.

This old man over fifty years old obviously still has some strength left. Then he seemed to have made some kind of decision in his heart. He turned and looked at Namikaze Minato with a firm look and said, "It's too late, Minato."

"Let's work together to keep the Nine-Tails out of the door first."

"Then..., let me use that technique..."

After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became serious, and he grabbed the golden hoop in his hand, ready to extend it again to block the Nine-Tails' steps.

Namikaze Minato was standing behind Sarutobi Hiruzen at this moment, and was suddenly stunned when he heard the words.

In order to avoid being killed right at the start, he had thought of many ways to deal with the Nine-Tails Rebellion. Of course, he had thought of shirking responsibility and letting the Third Generation use the Shiki Fuujin.

However, protecting the village should be the duty of the Kage. It is a shame to let the Third Generation die in his place. Although the Third Generation took the initiative to propose it, he felt a strange sense of guilt after a sense of relief.

However, it is obviously not yet time to use the Shiki Fuujin, because he still has other support forces prepared in advance.

Just when Namikaze Minato was about to say something, a man's heroic voice suddenly sounded from the sky above the Kyuubi running towards him.

"Psychic and the art of crushing street vendors!!!"

Boom——

In the sky, a giant purple-red toad carrying a pot-lid-shaped shield and holding a thorny harpoon suddenly appeared.

The huge body, carrying gravitational potential, fell from the sky and hit the running Nine Tails, crushing it heavily to the ground. A huge cloud of dust instantly rose up, and the ground shook violently.

Many people were briefly stunned by this sudden scene.

Roar.

The Kyuubi was suddenly hit hard. Although it was still roaring, the blow was not light. If it were an ordinary psychic beast, it would probably be flattened and crushed. However, the Kyuubi was only suppressed and could not breathe for a moment. gas.

"I haven't been back for half a year. I didn't expect such a big thing to happen in the village..." At this time, a man with long white hair stood vaguely on the head of the purple giant toad. He glanced at the almost flattened Konoha gate. , his tone suddenly became solemn.

"Is it Jiraiya? You came at the right time." Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the figure standing above Toma Ken in the distance, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that it was his student.

"Hey, Sarutobi-sensei, long time no see." After catching sight of the third generation in the crowd, Jiraiya greeted in a loud voice.

If you want to say who is the most relieved at this time, it is actually Namikaze Minato.

In his original letter to Naegi Mountain asking for help in advance, he only mentioned in passing the search for Jiraiya. The main content of the letter was to ask Naegi Mountain to send two more huge psychic beasts so that they could come on their own. in case.

Because the arrival of the psychic beast on its own does not require the chakra of the contractor, and if the psychic beast is actively summoned, the larger the size of the summoned psychic beast, the more chakra will be consumed.

In order to save chakra, this is also an effective preparation in advance.

But now, I didn't expect that Myoboku Mountain actually found Jiraiya, so that would be great.

"Is it Lord Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas?"

"Great, Master Jiraiya is here too..."

"..."

The three ninjas came to help and gave the Konoha ninjas another shot in the arm, which greatly boosted their morale.

Roar.

However, it didn't take long for the Kyuubi, which gradually calmed down, to become restless again.

…
