From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 174 Sarutobi: Quickly go and invite Ancestor Zongyue!

Everyone in the entire Hidden Leaf Village could feel the ground shaking violently.

Watching those two colossal beasts, like natural disasters, charging towards each other at a speed of hundreds of meters per second, like two massive mountain ranges, they were filled with utter despair.

That moment, or rather, that instant.

The instinct for survival and the trembling of the soul urge strong signals to flash rapidly through the cerebral cortex.

Everyone's adrenaline began to surge, and intense anxiety and fear gripped their hearts like an invisible hand, making them feel suffocated.

They even had a kind of illusion, as if they had traveled back to ancient times, where weak humans trembled in fear, looking up at the giant beasts at the top of the food chain, who were engaged in a cruel and bloody battle.

The hardened rock strata, trampled under the furious charge of the two tailed beasts, emitted mournful cries of unbearable strain, crumbling into countless dense, vein-like patterns.

Smoke and dust, along with ruins, were thrown dozens of meters high.

The violent tremors gradually intensified, even causing the back mountain of Konoha to shake violently, with rocks constantly crumbling and tumbling down.

The giant rock, engraved with the names of the Hokage of each generation, was pierced by a hideous crack.

It looked as if the Hokage of past generations couldn't bear to look at the tragic scenes in the village.

Although it seems like a long time has passed when described in words.

But in reality, only a few seconds had passed, and under the gaze of thousands of eyes, the two tailed beasts collided with a deafening roar, like Mars colliding with Earth.

Rumble——! ! !
At the moment of impact, a shockwave similar to an 'airburst' appeared.

After a brief period of deafness, a massive explosion resounded through the sky. The shockwave from the collision was like a terrifying tsunami that swallowed the heavens and destroyed the earth, completely engulfing everything in sight.

The astonishing destructive power of the impact directly expelled the air within a radius of hundreds of meters, creating a large vacuum area. Even the ground was completely overturned by the shock wave, and the shattered rock layers turned into a meteor shower, dragging flames with astonishing speed and crashing in all directions.

After a brief silence, air rushed in like a torrent, surging wildly into that vacuum area.

The roaring air surged straight into the sky.

From a distance, the converging air currents rose hundreds of meters high, like a thick, towering pillar, stirring up the rolling, dark clouds above.

Boom!

Bolts of lightning erupted with deafening roars, as if the gods were enraged, unleashing tons of torrential rain.

At that moment, the destructive power of the tailed beasts was deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.

It is no longer those empty and pale words in textbooks or from the mouths of our elders, but something that is truly etched into the depths of our souls with our bodies and hearts.

But the battles of the Tailed Beasts never end so simply.

The real disaster has only just begun!
In the direct confrontation, the Nine-Tails was actually knocked away.

Its massive body slid and rubbed through the dense ruins, carving out a 'road' tens of meters wide.

"Nine-Tails, after all these years, is this all you've got?" The Eight-Tails slammed its fists into the ground, its eyes blazing with fighting spirit, and roared fervently, "This isn't your true power! Quickly finish off that human and show us your true strength!"

"Roar--!"

The Nine-Tails, mocked, roared in anger, its eyes flashing with cruelty and rage.

But it was quickly suppressed again, and her eyes regained their clarity. It was clear that the one controlling this body was not the original, but Uzumaki Kushina.

"Heh, the mighty Nine-Tails can't even handle a human. How shameful."

Eight-Tailed Fox sneered again, stomping its feet on the ground and leaping up, covering hundreds of meters, before unleashing a powerful punch: "Since that's how it is, then let this great one help you out!"

boom! ! !
Kushina, who was trying her best to suppress the Nine-Tails' consciousness, was unable to control her body in time.

And so, the Eight-Tails' fist, imbued with extreme power, slammed heavily into his face like a flying meteor.

The extreme power even created a sonic boom, and the huge air ring spread out fiercely. The violent explosion swept across half of Konoha, making people several kilometers away feel pain in their eardrums.

Amidst the rising dust, the Nine-Tails was once again blasted away, tumbling miserably on the ground.

However, the eight-tailed octopus was not about to let it go so easily. It turned its huge body and used the force of its fall to bring down its eight octopus tentacles and tails.

boom!
Nine-Tailed Fox was like a punching bag, getting slammed into the ground by its massive tail.

For the first time, a painful wail came from the mouth of the Nine-Tailed Fox, and a hint of human-like pain appeared in its eyes.

"Hey woman, give me your body!"

At this moment, the Nine-Tails inside Kushina was so angry it was about to explode. It roared furiously, "Let me teach this bastard a lesson!"

"Shut up!"

Kushina bit her lip, letting the blood flow, and said with a resolute look in her eyes, "I will not hand over control to you, Nine-Tails. This is my battle!" The next moment, in the outside world.

The Eight-Tails, taking advantage of its position, mounted the Nine-Tails and unleashed a barrage of punches.

Each punch was filled with intense killing intent, showing no mercy whatsoever. It was infused with a massive amount of chakra, hammering the ground beneath the Nine-Tails inch by inch, causing it to sink deeper and deeper.

"Don't underestimate me!"

At this moment, the Nine-Tails suddenly erupted, and countless chains shot out from its abdomen.

"The sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan?"

The eight-tailed creature realized something was wrong, but at such close range, it couldn't hide even if it wanted to.

The golden chains bound the Eight-Tails' fists, and the powerful suppression made it feel the Nine-Tails' pain for the first time. Even the will of the tailed beast seemed to be suppressed!

"Humans, don't be so arrogant!"

The eight-tailed fox's eyes flashed with fury as it opened its blood-red maw directly at the nine-tailed fox beneath it.

The atmosphere seemed to be frantically compressed by layers of high pressure, exhibiting a visible 'collapse' phenomenon, and the source of all this was the ultra-high density chakra that kept gathering in its mouth.

"Kushina, use the Tailed Beast Ball quickly!"

The Nine-Tails inside him immediately sensed the danger and loudly warned its Jinchūriki.

Although it won't die, being hit by a Tailed Beast Ball at such close range will definitely hurt, and it will hurt a lot.

"I know!"

Kushina instinctively retorted, but her survival instinct made her begin to condense the Tailed Beast Ball.

Thus, from above and below, the two tailed beasts simultaneously began preparing to use their ultimate techniques, the Tailed Beast Ball, to clash at close range.

However, to others, this scene was nothing short of a disaster.

But who can stop them now?
Despair filled everyone's faces, and some of the more resilient ones even broke down and cried.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was shaken awake.

"What happened? What's going on?"

He opened his eyes somewhat blankly, only to see the two tailed beasts preparing to clash with their tailed beast balls in the center of Konoha.

Wait, am I still half asleep?
Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for half a second, his blood rushing to his head, before angrily demanding, "What...what happened? Why are the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails fighting in Konoha? Where are the others? Where's Danzo? What was he doing?!"

"Lord Hokage, you're finally awake!"

Linjiao collapsed to his knees beside him, tears streaming down his face as he cried out in grievance, "Danzo made a mistake in command, and the Cloud Ninja have already reached our doorstep!"

"puff!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened in fury, and he couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.

Linjiao, who had long disliked Danzo, disregarded whether the Hokage's body could withstand the impact of his recent awakening and poured out all of Danzo's misdeeds: "He transferred all those who opposed him away from Konoha, seized power while you were unconscious, and even tried to kill Uchiha Munetsuki, Hokage-sama!"

"puff--!"

He spat out another mouthful of blood. Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was ashen, but the veins on his face bulged.

He never imagined that his brief period of unconsciousness would push the entire Hidden Leaf Village to the brink of destruction!
The attack of qi and blood to the heart caused Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was already physically weak, to suddenly black out and his heart almost stopped beating.

But he held on to his last breath, his mind racing.

Now, who else can take the lead and save Konoha from its perilous situation?
Is it Minato Namikaze?

If it hadn't happened, perhaps the matter of being kidnapped by the Cloud Ninja could still be entrusted to someone else.

But right now, he didn't dare to gamble on whether the Cloud Ninja had secretly left a hidden weapon when they kidnapped Minato Namikaze, so he ruled that out first.

Tsunade and Jiraiya don't seem to be in the village either, so they don't need to be considered.

As for Orochimaru, as a disciple, he should have been the most suitable candidate, but he had a more far-reaching perspective.

"Quickly."

With his mouth trembling, Hiruzen Sarutobi used his last bit of strength to say, "Quickly, go and invite Munezuki back to quell the rebellion!"

February 20th, sandstorm, overcast.

It turns out that insomnia amplifies your senses to an extreme degree; I feel like I'm turning into Spider-Man, and even the slightest noise can instantly wake me up...
