Chapter 162 The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Kirigakure, the Collapse of Konoha
"Kaguya Naoki."
With his life hanging by a thread, between life and death, Minato Namikaze had no time to think about the village, the future, and the things he had stood for in the past.
He only knew that he wanted Kuyukina to live and Naruto to have a mother.
Kaguya Naoki stood still, not even looking at the source of the voice.
Minato Namikaze lowered his head.
"Kaguya Naoki-sama."
Kaguya Naoki turned around and looked at Minato Namikaze, who was so depressed because he was forced into a desperate situation and even bowed to his biggest enemy, and just spoke.
"Namikaze Minato, are you so naive that you think I, Kaguya Naoki, will let go of such a good opportunity to let the Nine-Tails destroy Konoha, and then save a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who is destined to be unloyal to Kirigakure?"
"I."
Minato Namikaze was speechless.
If Kaguya Naoki or the Kirigakure Village behind him are not given enough benefits.
Kaguya Naoki will not take action.
What can I give him?
No.
Minato Namikaze was almost desperate.
No, he was already desperate.
He knew better than anyone what the current situation of Konoha was.
No one could stop the Nine-Tails.
What's more, there was that guy who used a mysterious move.
It can be said that Konoha not only couldn't spare a hand to save Kushina.
Even today, Konoha was destined to face a catastrophe.
In this case, Kushina was destined to sacrifice.
Except Kaguya Naoki.
And he couldn't come up with a price that would impress Kaguya Naoki.
"What about me?"
Minato Namikaze gritted his teeth.
"Master Naoki, if I surrender to Kirigakure, is this price enough?"
"Not enough."
Kaguya Naoki finished his words with a smile.
"Minato Namikaze, what do you think you are now?"
"This price is not enough."
Minato Namikaze pursed his lips and was about to speak.
At this time, a fiery red light appeared in the distant sky.
Bang!
An explosion like a thunder followed closely.
The flying wood chips dripped on Minato Namikaze's face, making him come back to his senses. He looked up and looked at everything in the sky.
Golden chains fluttered high.
Seal lines like black tentacles were wrapped around the Nine-Tails.
There was also a flickering light, reflecting the ordinary ninjas who kept wasting chakra in front of the Nine-Tails, hoping to stop this monster.
But.
Not enough.
Still not enough.
Minato Namikaze knew very well that all of this could not stop this devastating monster.
Sure enough.
The waving claws broke through everything that dared to block his progress.
Broken branches and splashed soil swept in again like a hurricane.
Unstoppable.
Namikaze Minato looked at Kaguya Naoki who was just watching quietly in the storm.
"Naoki-sama."
"I can convince Kushina to go to the Hidden Mist Village."
"Kyuubi Jinchuriki?"
"Yes."
Namikaze Minato bowed his head deeply.
"An absolute weapon of national destruction, the Kyuubi."
"And I have another promise."
Kaguya Naoki looked at Namikaze Minato.
"I can make you appear by my side anytime and anywhere."
"So, as long as Kushina doesn't want you to die, I am destined to make her loyal to me."
"Yes."
Namikaze Minato saw a glimmer of hope and nodded quickly.
"I really didn't expect that the loyal dog of Konoha, Namikaze Minato, would have this day."
He wanted to humiliate me.
Namikaze Minato smiled bitterly for a moment.
Looking at Kaguya Naoki's serious look of waiting for an answer, he couldn't help but stagnate.
Do you really want an answer?
Yes.
I also want to know the answer.
His face was tense again.
Is it humiliation?
Every day in the past, he and Kushina were ridiculed and humiliated.
No.
Minato Namikaze couldn't help but deny it.
At that time, when facing the criticism of thousands of people, he had no thoughts or actions to betray the village.
Why did I break the bottom line all at once today?
Woo wow!
Naruto's crying sounded again, Minato Namikaze looked over, and then looked at the diamond chain at the Nine-Tails.
Is that so?
Minato Namikaze felt relieved and felt that he had found the reason.
"It's because there are things that don't match at all on both ends of the scale."
"Compared to the village, I want to protect Kushina more."
"Is that so."
Naoki Kaguya nodded and took out the forehead protector of Kirigakure from his hand.
"Put it on."
Namikaze Minato was startled, paused, and gritted his teeth.
He took the forehead protector from Kaguya Naoki and tore off the one on his forehead.
He put it on.
Kaguya Naoki silently put another forehead protector in Naruto's arms.
Namikaze Minato didn't react at all this time.
"But it's not enough to let you become a ninja of Kirigakure."
"No."
"Kaguya Naoki, you can't"
Namikaze Minato suddenly stopped.
Because Kaguya Naoki put his hand on Namikaze Minato's shoulder.
A light green light flickered at the contact point.
A strange chakra wandered in Namikaze Minato's body, and the warmth kept wandering.
Soon.
That chakra reached Namikaze Minato's thigh.
There, the place that was originally destroyed by the remaining corpse veins' destructive power, so that he had no feeling at all.
Finally, there was a trace of pain.
Namikaze Minato was very surprised.
However.
That's it.
Kaguya Naoki withdrew his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"It's worse than I thought. The power of the Corpse Vein has been completely entangled with your body. It will take more than one day to solve it."
"Thank you."
Namikaze Minato thanked him sincerely.
Feeling his legs, he couldn't help but smile again.
"If you can heal my legs and let me go back to the past, I will do anything."
"No."
Kaguya Naoki shook his head.
"This is what you should do as a Kirigakure ninja."
"Besides, from today on, Konoha may still hate us Kirigakure."
"What do you mean."
"Hmm."
"Come with me."
Kaguya Naoki summoned an ice mirror and stepped on it.
He casually propped up the ice mirror and put Namikaze Minato and Naruto on it.
This is the ice mirror.
Namikaze Minato held Naruto and looked at him curiously.
This is the main weapon that Kaguya Naoki used to show his prowess in the Third Ninja World War and succeed in one fell swoop.
What a genius idea.
Sometimes, only after experiencing it personally can you know the mystery contained in it.
In this way, I can still put my mind at ease.
With such an ice escape, according to the distance, as long as Kaguya Naoki wants, he can reach Kushina in an instant.
Namikaze Minato looked at Kushina again, where the diamond chain had already shown signs of withering.
Moreover.
The Nine-Tails is still moving forward.
Is this what Kaguya Naoki said?
Wait for the Nine-Tails to cause enough damage to Konoha, and then Kaguya Naoki will take action to solve the Nine-Tails.
In this way, you can gain the friendship of Konoha?
It's too simple to think.
As long as Kushina and I defect to Kirigakure, this is far from enough.
Or.
He planned to let the Nine-Tails destroy most of Konoha, and then play the role of a savior to pull Konoha back from the brink of destruction.
But.
It still won't work.
Konoha still has so many ninjas, just one Nine-Tails.
No, what is that!
Being at an absolute high altitude, looking down, with a wide field of vision, it is easy to see far away.
Now, Minato Namikaze relied on his good eyesight to see far away through the thin mist.
There.
A black and purple, destructive sphere is condensing.
"Tailed Beast Ball!"
"Why is there a Tailed Beast Ball."
"Of course it's because the whole world knows that Konoha will have some trouble tonight."
"Then it's not necessary to send the Tailed Beast Ball up at the beginning."
"Why not."
Kaguya Naoki broke Minato Namikaze's fantasy.
"A village that lost Minato Namikaze and Orochimaru."
"The former Hokage and the current Hokage are arguing like crazy. The Uchiha clan, the largest clan, has always wanted to rebel. Everyone wants to take a bite. This is not a new thing."
"That's right."
Minato Namikaze was discouraged.
"Then, Master Naoki, do you want Konoha to completely become your affiliated village?"
"Almost."
"The other ninja villages are well prepared, if you count the Nine-Tails."
Minato Namikaze closed his eyes.
Anyone can figure out this math problem.
Kaguya Naoki continued.
"So, as long as the two Hokage of Konoha don't think about preserving their strength, they will probably die."
"And most of your Konoha's elite troops will be consumed."
"When that time comes, I will come forward to save the entire Konoha. Do you think they will regard me as the savior?"
Namikaze Minato nodded.
"But, I also know that Konoha is full of ungrateful people. Konoha White Fang is an example, and you are also an example. Therefore, these Konoha ninjas will not regard me, a cold butcher, as the real savior."
"But, so what?"
"I will not dismiss the Hokage."
"Just keep sucking blood and enriching our Kirigakure."
"It's more than that, Master Naoki."
Namikaze Minato opened his eyes without knowing when.
"The blood-sea and deep-seated, scattered Konoha ninjas will also become the vanguard of your Kirigakure facing other ninja villages."
"Guessed right."
Kaguya Naoki clapped his hands lightly.
"Anyway, after our Kirigakure has seized most of Konoha's essence, it is not difficult for other ninja villages to unite to deal with me."
"If, I mean if."
Namikaze Minato was sweating profusely.
He thought of a terrible future.
"If it succeeds, doesn't it mean..."
"It means the unification of the world, the whole continent has only one country, one village, and one name."
"Then, it's time for me to popularize the things you saw in Kirigakure."
"Is that so?"
Namikaze Minato lowered his head.
Solemnly lowered.
Very seriously.
"Minato, wait a little longer, I need a perfect time."
"But I promise you, Naruto, Kushina, and you will all be fine."
As for the pain that Konoha Village will endure
I don't care.
——
"That's the Tailed Beast Ball!"
Outside the Hokage Building, the ninjas who had just taken off the Root Ninja robes and officially became the Anbu directly under the Hokage fully inherited the shortcomings of their predecessors.
They were cold and ruthless in the past, but they have completely changed.
"Hokage-sama, Danzo-sama."
A group of people squeezed in and made a mess.
What they waved in their hands were emergency intelligence from all directions within a few miles of Konoha Village.
"Don't worry, give them all to me."
A flash of light flashed not far away, followed by a violent explosion.
"Bring them all to me."
Danzo was furious.
After scanning through them one by one, he felt cold hands and feet.
He originally thought that there would only be the Nine-Tails.
Even if other ninja villages came out to disrupt the situation, they should not have such great courage.
Impossible, there are enough blood feuds between them, why do they have to unite to deal with our Konoha.
These damn bastards.
Danzo forced himself to calm down, knowing that Konoha had reached the most critical moment.
Monkey is responsible for the Nine-Tails.
Jiraiya is responsible.
Wait.
A mysterious kaleidoscope enemy with a strange technique.
Damn, evil Uchiha.
Tsunade, lost her combat effectiveness?
Useless trash.
And the tailed beasts.
Me.
Danzo suddenly felt cold in his hands and feet.
It seemed that Konoha had entered its weakest period under his rule.
Now, Konoha had no ninjas to show off.
Danzo suddenly understood everything.
Those ninja villages wanted to take advantage of Konoha's weakest period, bare their fangs, and tear Konoha's flesh and blood as their nutrients.
And he, Danzo, the dark ninja world who liked to do this kind of thing the most, didn't notice it at all.
Yes.
It's a monkey.
They are all monkeys, and they must compete with me for the position of Hokage.
Otherwise, how could we have ended up like this today.
Danzo angrily threw the information on the table and was about to walk out the door.
The sky flickered again.
He looked over.
The Root Ninja looked over.
All the Konoha Ninjas also looked over.
"That's... the Seven-Tails!? Even the Takigakure, whose strength is second only to the five major ninja villages, has joined the war against Konoha today?"
A look of despair appeared on the faces of the Konoha ninjas.
"The tailed beasts of Kumogakure and Iwagakure."
"Will there be another from Kirigakure in the near future?"
The Konoha ninjas were shaken.
And Danzo gnashed his teeth.
"Absolutely not."
As one of the few ninjas who knew how terrible the chakra contained in the tailed beast jade was, if that level of chakra aggregate fell into the area of Konoha Village and exploded...
His time as Hokage would be over.
No.
Danzo.
This is already the most critical moment.
What are you still thinking about Hokage!
Risk your life!
I am definitely not a cowardly person.
Shimura Danzo rushed out of the door, no longer feeling superior as before.
But.
The Root Ninja followed him even more closely.
Wait until he rushed out of the Hokage Building.
The Konoha Ninjas also gathered around him spontaneously.
Facing a pair of eager eyes, Shimura Danzo finally knew the most important secret of Kaguya Naoki becoming Hokage.
But it was too late.
My life is about to come to an end.
However.
For Konoha.
It's worth it!
