Chapter 28 The Future
When Uchiha Fugaku and Jiraiya learned that the effect of sealing away the forbidden ghosts was at the cost of their lives, they could not hide their shock.
Even if he risked his life, he could only seal half of the nine tails' power.
Is it really worth just doing this?
"Sarutobi-sensei, Minato, isn't there a better way?" Jiraiya couldn't accept it. His respected teacher and most proud disciple would lose one of them tonight.
I thought that after everyone worked together to force Uchiha Obito back, it would be much easier to solve the Nine-Tails problem, but I didn't expect that such a brutal method would be used.
Thinking of this, Jiraiya said with some reluctance: "Uchiha Clan Chief Fugaku and I can continue fighting now. Let's subdue the Nine-Tails, right? Teacher Sarutobi."
When the third generation heard this, he just shook his head solemnly. The Nine-Tails in the formation wisely chose to stop its activities at this time, accumulating strength where it was. It was obviously wise and knew that it would not do more meaningless things.
As long as the barrier disappears, it will immediately show its fangs again, activate the violent power, and take revenge on humans.
"It's pointless to go head-to-head with the Nine-Tails, a tailed beast that has almost unlimited chakra and strength."
After Sarutobi Hiruzen rejected Jiraiya's innocent proposal, he turned to look at Namikaze Minato, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "Minato, you are a very outstanding fourth generation Hokage, Konoha's The future will never be without you.”
"Besides, even if it's for me who has inherited the will of fire, I can't let you sacrifice me."
"After all, to me, you are also Ye who needs protection..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's words deeply touched Namikaze Minato. Due to the situation, he could not express his willingness to sacrifice for the village silently, but in his heart he was actually afraid of death.
Therefore, the praise given to him by the third generation at this time sounds like he really deserves it.
Fortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen still insisted on sacrificing himself and used the forbidden technique to seal off the ghouls. For Namikaze Minato, the feeling of joy in his heart at this moment made him feel even more embarrassed.
Perhaps, his performance at this time was just a little better than that of Danzo, who hesitated to come forward in the final battle of the Second Hokage...
Before Minato Namikaze could answer, it was obvious that Hiruzen Sarutobi was unable to support the barrier even for a moment, so he decisively reminded everyone: "Everyone, remove the barrier."
"After that, please buy me a little time to perform the spell..."
The red light beam that illuminated the sky dimly dispersed as everyone stopped providing chakra.
After the Four Red Sun Formation was removed, Sarutobi Hiruzen's somewhat old and upright figure suddenly shrunk. The continuous consumption of a huge amount of chakra had already made him feel a sense of collapse. At this time, the only remaining chakra was still there. Being able to support him in using that forbidden technique.
Except for the Third Hokage, Namikaze Minato was also sweating profusely and breathing heavily.
It was not just Sandai who managed to maintain the Four Red Yang Formation. He was just slightly stronger than Sarutobi Hiruzen due to his young physical fitness and age advantage.
Roar.
The Kyuubi in the formation, seeing the barrier removed, naturally would not miss the opportunity.
For some reason, it actually launched an attack directly at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had taken a brief breather, as if it had predicted that the latter would use a threatening forbidden technique against him...
One has to wonder whether this is an alternative characteristic of Kyuubi's ability to sense malice.
With the Kyuubi swooping down and waving its claws, the target was directed at the Third Hokage's move. Of course, the other three would not sit idly by.
Just when Minato Namikaze was about to try his best to activate the Flying Thunder God, jump to the side of the Third Hokage, and take him out of danger, the man wearing a fan uniform on the field took the lead and used the teleportation technique to appear and block him. In front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
As the chakra condensed in his mouth was completed, his hands simply formed a Yin Seal.
"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!!"
The large amount of chakra accumulated in Uchiha Fugaku's body was highly compressed and instantly formed a black-red flame, which was violently ejected from his mouth.
The blazing high-temperature flames instantly transformed into a majestic dragon head after being controlled. This black-red flame dragon with a diameter of several meters clearly exceeded the power and range of ordinary dragon fire techniques.
The appearance of the flame dragon burned all the nearby air almost instantly.
The next second, the huge Flame Dragon, under precise control, crashed directly into the giant claw captured by Nine Tails in the air.
Roar.
Sparks flew everywhere, and a brilliant brilliance suddenly bloomed in the night sky. However, the sound that followed was the sound of Kyuubi's pain.
One can imagine what kind of power it would take to achieve the fire release that can make even the Nine-Tails feel the burning sensation.
As a last resort, Kyuubi was blocked by this violent fire attack and had to temporarily stop its attack. However, before it could make the next move, the mountain-like figure suddenly began to sink slightly.
In the distance, Jiraiya's voice came: "Earth Release·Yellow Quannuma!!"
As the ground beneath his feet turned into a liquid swamp, Kyuubi's limbs instantly fell into it.
"Chief Fugaku is worthy of being the leader of the Uchiha clan. The fire style that has been passed down from generation to generation is beyond the reach of even the Sarutobi clan, who are also good at it..." Sarutobi Hiruzen regained his energy a little after a short breath.
He looked at Uchiha Fugaku, and although he did not mention gratitude, there seemed to be some other meaning in his words of praise.
Uchiha Fugaku turned around after hearing this, feeling a little panic in his heart. Just when he did not know how to respond to Sarutobi Hiruzen, the latter continued with a complicated look: "In the future, Konoha may improve the relationship between the village and Uchiha with the efforts of the Fourth Hokage."
"But no matter what the future holds, I hope that the Uchiha clan will always put Konoha first."
"I hope that the head of the clan, Fugaku, can lead the Uchiha clan and do his best to assist the Fourth Hokage, so that the towering tree of Konoha can become more vigorous and luxuriant..."
"Yes, Third Hokage." The Third Hokage's words were full of meaning, and Uchiha Fugaku was only in awe.
Although it seemed that he was arranging his funeral, at the end of his words, he deliberately compared Konoha to a towering tree, which was a bit intriguing. Because since it is a tree, naturally there is more than just the part exposed on the surface.
And asking him to take care of the tree of Konoha seemed to mean that he and Uchiha were not completely included in Konoha.
In short, these words did make Uchiha Fugaku secretly speculate and worry for a long time in the future.
Knowing that time was running out, Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped talking after seeing Uchiha Fugaku respond, and began to concentrate and mobilize the last chakra that was left.
With the completion of a series of seals, he finally put his hands together.
Behind him, white mist rose, and the terrifying death god in white clothes and white hair gradually revealed the phantom of the soul state.
Although it can be delayed, from this moment on, the life of the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen also marked the beginning of the countdown...
