From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 100 This Punch, Thousands of Lives (1w)

At the same moment when this huge amount of chakra rushed into the sky, any ninja in the entire Sand Village who had a little perception turned their heads and looked in the direction where the tailed beast's chakra burst out.

"thump."

Izawa's head fell to the ground with an unwilling look on his face, and his wife was simply cut into two pieces. Ebizo knelt on the ground dying, with several broken puppets lying beside him.

At this moment, Hatake Sakumo's eyes were bloodshot and there were several scars on his body.

The steel plant in front of him had been turned into a white ground by the violent explosion. The Konoha ninjas and some of the Sand Village ninjas who had just rushed in had all died in the earth-shaking explosion and disappeared completely.

However, Hatake Sakumo was no longer concerned with these things and turned his head towards the gate of the Sand Village that he had just passed.

His brows were tightly furrowed.

"Jinchūriki?"

"Didn't the Anbu send news that the One-Tail Shukaku has been taken to the front line by the Third Kazekage?"

"Why are you in the Sand Village?"

Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but have a bad feeling in his heart.

In the eyes of many Naruto fans in the previous life, the Jinchūriki and the tailed beasts were not powerful weapons at all. Whether it was the Akatsuki organization that was specifically responsible for capturing the tailed beasts, or the Third Raikage who could fight the Eight-Tails alone, or the Uchiha who could see through everything at a glance, and the invincible Hashirama Senju, they all proved that the so-called tailed beasts were nothing more than special weapons with huge chakra and extraordinary destructive power.

For the ninjas who are truly at the top of the entire ninja world, this little Karami is nothing big and cannot threaten their lives at all.

However, the fact that Hashirama Senju distributed these things equally to each village at the first Five Kage Tournament itself proves their basic weight.

Don't overlook this one point.

For the vast majority of ninjas in this ninja world, even some of the top strong ones, if they are suddenly attacked, they are unable to deal a truly fatal blow to these tailed beasts.

Sometimes, they even have to sacrifice their own lives to stop these monsters from wreaking havoc.

In this case, a tailed beast Jinchūriki who appears on his own battlefield can naturally be called a stabilizing force, and even has a powerful deterrent force comparable to that of a Kage-level powerhouse.

The Jedi comeback is here!
Obviously, at this moment, Shukaku, the One-Tailed Monster that usually makes the entire Sand Village worried, immediately became the hope of all the ninjas in the Sand Village as soon as he appeared.

Many of the surviving Sand Ninjas around cheered almost involuntarily after sensing its chakra.

"Shukaku! It's Shukaku's chakra!"

"Has the Jinchuriki returned to the village yet?"

"Great, damn it! Kill those bastard Konoha ninjas, Shukaku!"

Various voices rang out from all over Sand Village, including some of the enemies whose loved ones had been taken away by the tailed beasts.

But at this moment, everyone truly felt the true meaning of the village raising a tailed beast.

Hatake Sakumo's expression was extremely solemn, and he subconsciously sensed the familiar chakra approaching the tailed beast.

"If the intelligence is correct."

"This generation's One-Tailed Shukaku seems to be..."

"Perfect Jinchuuriki?"

We have to hurry over there.

At the same time, at the gate of Sand Village.

Minato Namikaze, who had almost exhausted all his strength to move Shukaku, the One-Tail, a short distance away, half-knelt on the ground and gasped for breath.

Because the chakra interference just now was too severe, he almost couldn't even complete the Flying Thunder God Technique.

But at this time, he also understood why Wu Jun was so desperate to ask him to move the old monk here.

"Om-"

Green chakra like fireworks kept boiling and burning from his body, and like steam it kept flowing towards the sky. It was so huge that it was almost impossible to see the end of this chakra.

The dark red tailed beast chakra coat was draped over the old monk's body little by little, and tiny bubbles rose from inside like bubbling water, which kept bursting on the surface of the chakra coat, making a "pop" and "pop" sound.

Just standing in front of him, Minato Namikaze felt as if his whole body was oppressed by an invisible breath. Even the air he breathed became difficult and hot. The violently spreading negative emotions seemed to fill his entire brain in one breath, making it completely impossible for him to continue thinking.

"Young man, it's painful, isn't it?"

"Feel sorry."

The old monk with kind eyes still had his eyes downcast with a compassionate expression.

In this situation, if anyone else said this, it would probably seem a bit arrogant, but when it came out of the mouth of the old man in front of him, Minato inexplicably felt that he still had sympathy for his enemy.

"Shukaku, in fact, doesn't want to bear this kind of power."

"It's a simple child."

"But, just like us humans who have been fighting for countless years, it has no choice."

"Race, ecology, stance, friend or foe. These are all set by the immortals from the moment they were born. They can never be changed, leading to this situation."

"Just like I have been a vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures for decades, but I still have to stand opposite you from the perspective of the village."

"The young man of Konoha."

Fenfuku still maintained the posture of clasping his hands together. His body, wrapped in the chakra of the tailed beast, even if recognized by the tailed beast itself, must have been constantly under pressure that was difficult for mortals to bear, like the burning pressure of fire.

However, the old monk remained calm and looked at him:
"If possible, could everyone in Konoha please stop here?"

"There are only a few old people and children with little fighting ability left in this village."

After practicing silent meditation for decades, Bonfu's voice had long become hoarse and dry like a stone. On weekdays, only Shukaku could talk to him.

When he opened his mouth, even moving his lips seemed a little difficult.

But what he did was to save the lives of his fellow villagers.

"."

With his chakra almost exhausted, Namikaze Minato took a few deep breaths, still holding up his knees, and stood up from the ground, tightly grasping the special trident kunai in his hand, his tone was unprecedentedly calm and gentle:
"When the Sand Village ninja invaded the Land of Fire, did they ever show any mercy to our compatriots?"

"Going back further, if the first generation had not spared you and treated you with equality and courtesy, and did not kill you all, how could there be the Wind Country and Sand Village now?"

"What's the point of saying such useless words now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the kunai in his hand towards the old man in front of him without hesitation, with a cold light flashing on the tip of the blade.

Just fight.

"Ugh"

Although he knew that all these efforts were in vain and that the young man in front of him was telling the truth, Fenfu still couldn't help but sigh, with unspeakable sadness in his heart.

"If this is the case, this is the only way."

"As a monk, I don't know much about the techniques of ninjutsu. All I can offer is my martial arts skills and a lifelong companion."

"Shukaku, please lend me your power."

It was not until he finished speaking that an impatient voice came from his body:
"Stop talking nonsense! This should have been done a long time ago!"

"How can someone who has my approval be so fussy?"

"Take it quickly!"

Almost at the moment when the voice fell, Namikaze Minato instinctively noticed that the tailed beast chakra coat that was originally floating on the old man's body suddenly condensed into substance. Fonfuku's body, which had long been decayed, seemed to have returned to its youthful state under the blessing of this huge amount of chakra.

He took a slow step forward, his ninja shoes imprinted on the sand, and he assumed a standard fighting stance.

Compassion, mercy, kindness.

There is nothing wrong with the fact that these are his inner essence.

However, he also has his position as a part of Sunagakure.

"Please be careful, young man."

As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely strong sense of crisis suddenly arose in Minato Namikaze's heart.

The sudden sound of wind covered his entire hearing in an instant, and the violent and intense sound was deafening.

Fenfu, who looked hunched over, suddenly opened his eyes, and in that brief moment, he left behind all the sonic boom rings and appeared in front of him in an almost abrupt manner.

The dry arms were wrapped in a huge amount of burning chakra, and even the wide sleeves were torn apart by the air, and the fist pointed straight at Minato Namikaze's face.

"Fazheng Fist!"

The Bodhisattva lowered his eyebrows and Vajra glared.

The vast chakra made this seemingly simple punch carry supreme power.

His attainments in this one punch alone surpassed most of the physical skills ninjas that Minato Namikaze had ever seen in his life.

"Flying Thunder."

The chakra extracted at ultra-high speed circulates in the body.

However, there was a sudden interruption.

Minato Namikaze didn't have time to move his eyes to observe the surrounding situation, but within the range of his perception, he didn't know when several tiny strands of sand appeared around him, almost clinging to his body.

At that moment, he understood.

The cooperation between this Sand Village Jinchuriki and the One-Tail Shukaku is seamless.

However, before he could forcibly drive the chakra.

"Boom--!!"

The withered arm stretched forward, and the surging tailed beast chakra struck out synchronously with it.

The sand within hundreds of meters in front of Fenfu was cleared away in an instant, turning into a long, straight ditch as if it had been carved by a carving knife.

However, it hit nothing.

As if he had noticed something, Fenfu slowly raised his drooping eyes and looked to his side.

I saw a tall figure standing there, holding the exhausted Minato Namikaze in his hand like a bag.

"thump."

And threw him to the ground again.

Sawara Kiri looked at him with her azure "six eyes", looking at the highly concentrated chakra coat on Bunfuku that was completely integrated with his body, and said in surprise:
"Perfect Jinchūriki?"

"It's really not easy for the Sand Village to not let you out before."

Fenfu's voice was still calm and steady: "That's just because I don't want the village to commit more murders, that's all."

"Even now, if the Konoha ninjas are willing to retreat, I will not continue to chase you."

"The important facilities in the village have been destroyed, and they are no longer able to continue the war. I think you have achieved your wish."

"My only wish is to protect the people in this village."

Zuo Yuan Wu tilted her head and looked at him, then suddenly smiled: "As long as you want it, you must do it?"

"Innocent."

At this moment, his voice was a little low, and he raised his deep blue eyes to look at the old face covered with wrinkles, with some rare anger, and also a little funny:

"Even someone like me who thinks I'm as strong as a monster now, in order to get here step by step and destroy your entire Wind Country's logistics system, I still have to step on thousands of lives."

"Among this batch of assault troops, there are even many people whose names I have memorized over the past three months, but they failed to show up at the foot of Mount Morro on the day of the reunion."

"But I never think their deaths were in vain."

"Because if I were to force my way to the Sand Village alone, the threat to the entire Wind Country would only be limited to a small corner."

"Without those people's sacrifice of their lives, I'm afraid even you, the Jinchūriki, wouldn't be here at all."

"so."

He raised his fist and gestured to the old monk opposite him:
"This one punch cost two thousand lives."

"Can you stop it?"

Fenfu suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight at him.

The moment Sawara Kiri finished speaking, he suddenly took a step forward with his left foot.

Almost at the moment he took a step, the One-Tailed Shukaku, which had merged almost perfectly with Bunfuku, issued a frantic warning in his mind:
"You stinky monk! Don't resist!"

However, Fenfuku stood calmly like a wall in the desert, with his thin and dry body standing between him and the Sand Village.

The sandstorm in his sight was like the black storm that occurs once every ten years in the desert of the Kingdom of Wind. It swept up from the edge of the distant sky and swarmed towards him.

The figure in the front rode ahead at an extremely fast speed, leaving behind the endless dust.

At the moment when the "Unlimited Ritual" was activated, the sense of distance between spaces seemed to be compressed to the extreme in this brief moment. Even Sawara Kiri's senses became vaguely blurred. Only the dust under his feet suddenly rose up, raising dust and smoke. The ground where he was stepped on was even faintly crushed into crystal traces of glass.

In the moment of disappearing and reappearing, Sawara Kiri's slender figure had already approached Fenfuku, swung his fist, and his arm seemed to break a vacuum arc in mid-air.

"boom--!"

A dull and oppressive explosion sounded along with the sonic boom. Long before Fenfu began to move, the floating sand and gravel around him had already blocked his sight through magnetic induction, forming a thin sand shield. However, it was completely unable to block the fist that was attacking like a meteor, and it broke into a ball of scattered sand mist.

The old man's figure was flying and rolling on the sand, bouncing up and down. The tailed beast chakra coat covering him was also torn open with a huge hole at this moment, but it was still constantly repaired by the huge amount of chakra gathered from the One-Tail Shukaku, and his figure was half-crouching on the ground.

However, with the endless supply of chakra from the tailed beasts, he still slowly stood up from the ground.

At this moment, he already understood the awareness of the young man in front of him, and also understood what kind of pressure he was carrying when fighting with others.

"but."

"Sagakure has raised me for decades, and I have to repay you for teaching me. Shukaku's life is also entrusted to me."

Fenfu murmured in a deep voice as if trying to convince himself.

So, he slowly assumed a fighting stance once again, but the tailed beast chakra coat on the surface of his body burned more and more fiercely, scorching the sky and the earth.

He was originally a monk, and he hated all kinds of fighting and killing the most in his life.

At this moment, he had to go against his own will and let out a long sigh:

"Just as you advance by stepping on the lives of your companions."

"I, too, am I responsible for the lives of thousands of people in the Sand Village?"
