Chapter 172
The masked man tilted his head and said, "Who knows? It's hard to say."
Minato saw the Mangekyō Sharingan through the two black holes on the tiger-skin mask, and only knew it when he was sure of it in his heart.
Because Minato knew that the current Uchiha clan had not given birth to the Mangekyō at all, and even Che was only a three-magatama.
And the man in front of him was definitely not an ordinary opponent. If he was not good at the Flying Thunder God Technique, he would probably have lost now.
So the identity of the mysterious masked man in front of him seemed to be matched only by the legendary first generation Hokage's rival Uchiha Madara.
"But why are you targeting Konoha?"
Minato tacitly accepted the identity of the mysterious masked man and asked vigilantly.
The mysterious masked man raised his head slightly and said, "This is a whim of my mind, and it is also my early plan."
"It's for war and peace."
The mysterious masked man said, raising his hand and slipping a thick iron chain from his sleeve.
Minato took out the Flying Thunder God Kunai and was ready.
"In any case, he is not a small character."
"He has the ability to control the Nine-Tails, and the space-time ninjutsu that is higher than mine and the second generation, and he has such a dangerous mind."
"If we don't make a conclusion here, things will become more difficult than the Nine-Tails rampage."
"If I jump to the village, this guy will follow, which will only make the battlefield more chaotic."
While Minato was thinking, the mysterious masked man put on the chains on both hands, and both of them were ready to fight it out here.
"It's impossible for Madara to control the Nine-Tails like this for too long."
"For the affairs of the village, we can only trust the third generation... and Che."
"I have to hold this guy here."
The mysterious masked man said: "Now that the Nine-Tails has been liberated, you have no hope."
Minato responded calmly: "You underestimate Konoha too much."
After the two of them said this, they rushed towards each other, and the battle was about to break out.
At the same time, a battle broke out on the battlefield on the other side.
The Nine-Tails was still wreaking havoc in the village, destroying a tall building with one blow.
The flying stones were extremely lethal, causing countless civilian casualties.
Even a ninja would face death if hit by this blow.
And it is common for parents who are ninjas to sacrifice themselves to protect their children.
The third generation saw this tragic scene and immediately turned back and said seriously: "To avoid the destruction of the village, drive the Nine-Tails out of the wall!"
A large number of ninjas in the back knelt on one knee to accept the order.
"Yes!"
"Buy me time to launch ninjutsu, and there can be no slack in the attack!" The third generation ordered again.
"Yes, let's go!"
The Anbu ninjas directly under the third generation of Hokage and some middle and upper ninjas of Konoha rushed up and met the Nine-Tails head-on. However, the Nine-Tails waved its claws and solved the ninjas, just as easily as slapping mosquitoes, and the bodies of the ninjas were slapped down like raindrops.
And the third generation took advantage of the opportunity that the ninjas exchanged their lives to bite his finger and seal it and slap the ground.
"Summoning technique! Come out, Monkey King, Monkey Demon!
A tall white ape wearing a tiger skin skirt appeared in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, folded his arms, and spoke in human language: "It's the Nine-Tails... Is the seal lifted?"
"Drive it out of the village, use the Vajra Ruyi!"
Monkey Demon and Sarutobi Hiruzen have been partners for many years and have long understood each other.
"Understood, change!"
Bang!
A burst of white smoke appeared, and a long stick with black in the middle and gold at both ends jumped through the air and was taken by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen took the Vajra Ruyi Stick and put it on his waist, shouting: "Go, Ruyi Stick! Stretch it out!"
An eye grew at the back end of the Vajra Ruyi Stick, and the front end stretched out at a very fast speed.
"Ah! "
The Nine-Tails roared, and then was held back by the Vajra Ruyi Rod, and was pushed out of the village, crushing the buildings along the way and easily breaking through the wall.
"Finally, we drove him out of the village."
Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to be struggling.
Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen used his superb skills to attach the chakra under his feet to the large area of land around him to relieve the force, the power of the Nine-Tails was something that humans could easily resist.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and the summoning beast Sarumo could only barely suppress it for a while.
However, this also showed the Konoha ninjas that Sarutobi Hiruzen's strength was still enough to lead Konoha.
Sarutobi Hiruzen supported himself on the ground and panted, "Don't relax! Keep attacking! "
A large number of ninjas rushed towards the Nine-Tails one after another, preventing it from entering Konoha again.
The ninjas used their flesh and blood to build another wall of Konoha.
The battle was so fierce that ninjas were killed or injured almost every minute.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to see such a scene either, and his brows were furrowed, his eyes fixed on the Nine-Tails."Minato, where are you?"
On the front line of the battle against the Nine-Tails, the Konoha ninjas still bravely rushed to the Nine-Tails to launch an attack, and then were slapped away by the Nine-Tails.
A Konoha ninja below glared and roared: "Hold it before the fourth generation arrives!"
One brave Konoha ninja rushed up, and finally they were all slapped away and fell down.
Boom!
A middle-aged ninja fell from a high altitude, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Iru... Ka..."
The Iruka he was thinking about was his son, and his wife had already sacrificed to protect Iruka in the previous battle.
At this moment, the Konoha ninja named Kaino Ikkaku also sacrificed to protect Konoha and fight the Nine-Tails.
The boy named Iruka was forcibly carried by a ninja to a safe area inside Konoha, even though the short-braided boy with a scar on his nose shouted that he wanted to avenge his parents.
Not only Iruka, but all the young ninjas of Konoha who wanted to rush to the battlefield were stopped and placed in a small barrier to wait for the battle to end.
This also included Kakashi and Might Guy who wanted to join the battle the earliest.
Even though the strength of these two people was above their peers, Konoha did not allow them to participate in the battle.
Because the opponent was the ferocious and powerful Nine-Tails, and these boys and girls were the future of Konoha.
"Listen, you young people must not approach the Nine-Tails."
The one who spoke was Yuhi Shinku, who was the instructor of Konoha's middle and lower ninjas. It was naturally his responsibility to take care of these young ninjas of Konoha.
Yuhi Kurenai was also in the crowd. Kurenai was very dissatisfied with this and said indignantly: "We are also part of Konoha, why don't you let us go?"
"At the critical moment of Konoha's life and death, we are asked to do nothing. What is this?"
Yuhi Kurenai was very excited, which showed her unwillingness in her heart.
This was mainly due to the influence of the heroic performance of the frontline ninjas.
Hong is very kind and doesn't want to just hide in the barrier and watch the Konoha ninjas sacrifice.
Hong was frowning at her father angrily, but Xihi Zhenhong said something that made Hong stunned.
"You are also a ninja, and you will lose your life sooner or later."
"But my daughter, I hope you can at least pass on the will of fire to my future grandson."
"Just promise me as a father, I believe in you."
Hong's big round eyes opened wide, and she subconsciously touched the engagement ring on her hand.
"Pass it on to the grandson..."
"... Che, where are you?"
