NOVEL NEXT Chapter 530: Chapter 530: Danzo, You're Really Bold
Takumi and Zhongli returned just in time to witness the scene before them — the Uchiha Clan was launching a coordinated attack on the Nine-Tails.
More and more ninja were joining the assault. Close behind them came Jiraiya, accompanied by a giant toad.
Takumi and Zhongli stood atop a building, quietly observing everything unfold.
"Tsk tsk! Iconic scene, iconic scene! Hey, old man, wanna throw up a shield?" Takumi joked.
Hearing this, Zhongli looked up. The Tailed Beast Bomb had already been charged.
Without hesitation, he uttered, "Unified Protection."
As Zhongli's voice fell, everyone in Konoha was instantly shrouded in a thick layer of geo energy, forming a solid shield around them.
The sudden development left everyone bewildered.
What was going on?
"Keep attacking!!" Jiraiya suddenly shouted.
That shield... Could it be those two people Minato mentioned?
Quick to react, Jiraiya urged everyone to continue their attack.
But the Tailed Beast Bomb had already launched, aimed straight at the Hokage Office.
At the last second, a flash of golden light appeared — Minato made his dazzling entrance.
He had already made sure his wife was safe, with Tsunade accompanying her.
Using Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder, he teleported the Tailed Beast Bomb away just in time.
Watching the scene unfold, Takumi couldn't help but comment:
"I swear, Minato waited on purpose just to make a dramatic entrance! No proof, but that's my hunch."
"Emm..." Zhongli chose not to comment.
Still, Minato's sudden appearance significantly boosted the morale of the defenders.
With Minato now in action and Zhongli's shield already deployed, the situation quickly stabilized.
Thanks to Zhongli's shield, there were almost no casualties in Konoha.
The power of geo brought peace of mind.
Many were deeply grateful to Zhongli, even though they didn't know who was responsible. The shield had genuinely saved their lives.
People who would have otherwise died in the chaos survived. It was a win for everyone.
Even Obito got tagged with a new, even more covert Flying Thunder God marker by Minato — one using Honkai energy, so Obito had no idea where it was placed.
After resolving the Nine-Tails situation, Minato resealed the beast back into Kushina — this time, without splitting it. The entire beast was sealed intact.
Once finished, Minato vanished again.
With the crisis in Konoha resolved, the next step was to clean up loose ends — like catching Obito.
Takumi and Zhongli watched everything, feeling that their work here was done.
"Next, I'll go handle moving this world," Takumi said.
"Old man, hang around here for a while."
With nothing left to do, Takumi got to work immediately.
He decided to pack up this entire world.
As for Zhongli, he would return later after Takumi had relocated the world.
Zhongli didn't object, instead calmly waiting.
The turmoil in Konoha had come and gone quickly.
Thanks to prior preparations, the chaos didn't escalate. The worst damage was just a few destroyed buildings.
It was a lucky outcome, considering the scale.
Zhongli, having watched enough, vanished to find a place to rest.
Konoha likely wouldn't be sleeping tonight. With all that happened, who could rest?
Might as well find a place to drink.
...
What happened afterward had little to do with Takumi.
He left the Naruto world and started packing it up.
Once the world was secured, Takumi returned to his own world and set it down.
He then built a communication system and transport gateway.
The gateway was installed in Konoha Village, in the area previously ravaged by the Nine-Tails — a perfect location.
With the site decided, Takumi returned to Konoha and immediately got to work.
He didn't care for secrecy, instantly constructing a massive gate.
As soon as Takumi began, nearby Uchiha ninja immediately surrounded him, startled by the flattened land.
What the heck was going on?
From the Hokage Office, Minato also sensed it.
The surge of Honkai energy was impossible to ignore.
So, just as the ninja surrounded Takumi, Minato arrived.
"Lord Hokage!"
Seeing Minato, the would-be attackers quickly bowed.
"Don't worry!" Minato said.
"He's not an enemy."
He walked over, examining what had been built.
Minato was astonished.
Takumi quickly completed the portal, then explained:
"All done. In a few minutes, this gateway will lead directly to my world."
"I'll also be stationing some Mechanoids here."
"If any trouble arises in your world, these Mechanoids can help resolve it."
"That's their main function. Just letting you know in advance."
Minato was stunned, then quickly nodded.
"Alright! That's fine by me!!"
He already knew what the Mechanoids were capable of.
With everything done, Takumi disappeared.
Minato would handle the rest and explain things to the others.
The sudden appearance of the massive portal drew lots of attention.
The gateway was so tall that all of Konoha could see it.
It shocked many people.
The Third Hokage and others received word immediately and rushed to the scene.
Seeing Minato already there, the elders swarmed over.
"Minato, what's going on here??"
The Third Hokage was baffled.
What was with this giant gate?
He felt like he couldn't keep up with the changes in the world anymore.
Last night, Konoha was attacked. Today, a massive gate appears?
What was happening to this world?
"This is a good thing!" Minato assured them.
With everyone gathered, Minato slowly began explaining everything.
As he spoke, many were wide-eyed with shock.
Another world?
A different world?
The crowd couldn't stay calm.
Danzo, arriving later, wore a greedy expression.
"Minato, gather the ninja! Let's conquer that world immediately!!"
The moment he said that, the whole scene fell silent.
You're really bold, Danzo.
And just as he finished, the few Mechanoids Takumi had left behind all turned their gaze toward him.
