From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 213: Outer Path Golem (5k)

In an instant, the dazzling light was like a whirlpool twisting and swirling in the deepest part of the ocean, swallowing up the sight of everyone present in an instant. Even the dark clouds and rain curtains that had been in the sky all year round seemed to be covered by this blow.

The cold and gloomy air shrouded by dark clouds was filled with the warmth bursting from the spinning spearheads.

Even Minato Namikaze, who launched the attack, couldn't help but feel a strong sense of joy and excitement in his heart when he saw this scene with his own eyes.

This beam of light condensed his seven years of sweat and hard work.

If the difficulty of integrating the ordinary five elements chakra into the Rasengan is ranked from one to ten, then the difficulty of integrating the time and space escape chakra that he is good at into it should be at least one hundred.

Corresponding to this is its unparalleled and irresistible penetrating power.

Although Namikaze Minato never said anything after being defeated overwhelmingly by Sawara Kiri in the examination room, deep in his heart, he was always moving forward with the goal of Sawara Kiri, who now symbolized invincibility in the ninja world.

Even Sawara Kiri's "Unlimited Technique" cannot resist this attack!
Minato Namikaze has such confidence!
"Boom-!!"

The dull sound was like a heavy hammer hitting a drum.

After the incandescent halo dissipated, an extremely strong sense of oppression accompanied by violent winds and waves swept across the entire section of the Rain-Hidden Tower in an instant, whistling and rolling up the rain curtain.

The extreme violence wrapped in the extreme penetrating force, like a giant arrow, suddenly penetrated the long distance behind the tall tower for thousands of miles, tearing a long ravine under the gloomy sky.

Nagato, still maintaining the posture of launching 'Shinra Tensei', stood still.

Yahiko and Konan were knocked down by the hurricane and lay on the ground.

When the deafening sound and the all-encompassing light faded away, they suddenly regained their senses and almost subconsciously raised their heads and looked in the direction of Nagato.

Immediately afterwards, the girl's scream rang in everyone's ears:
"Nagato!!!"

Even Hanzo of the Salamander was frightened by the attack just now. He stared at Minato Namikaze who fell to the ground for a while, and subconsciously turned his head away when he heard the crying.

What caught his eyes was the red-haired boy standing frozen in place.

Nagato's pair of Samsara eyes looked forward in astonishment, as if he had never expected that a divine technique like 'Shinra Tensei' could be broken by other techniques.

On his side, a hole the size of a human head with a smooth cross-section appeared abruptly on the surface of his body like a sticker.

The unstoppable flow of blood and slippery internal organs continuously leaked out from the hole, like a faucet that was accidentally turned on.

Unprecedented weakness and fear engulfed his mind in an instant.

"In Konoha, besides Sawara Kiri, there are actually monsters of this level?"

"What was that attack just now?"

'Am I going to die?'

"What about Yahiko and Konan?"

"Who is going to stop that crazy woman Uchiha Hikaru?"

'I'

Nagato had never imagined that at this moment before his death, he would have so many thoughts in one breath.

Until the moment Konan called out his name, the countless thoughts in Nagato's mind suddenly changed.

The chaotic thoughts that were just chattering away seemed to have suddenly been twisted into a rope. Every word, every sentence, and every punctuation mark were all repeating the same thought.

——Can’t die!

Almost at the moment this thought came to my mind.

"boom!"

The sudden burst of chakra engulfed his body like flames, sweeping up like a torch, a surging wave, and a pillar of heaven, like a waterfall flowing upstream towards the sky.

At this moment, Nagato had never felt the substance of his own life so clearly. Even the pair of strange eyes connected to his optic nerves seemed to have their own will.

And this will is connected to some distant place.

Almost instinctively, Nagato kept his eyes wide open and blood flowing from all seven orifices, and suddenly clasped his hands together with a 'pop' sound.

Driven by the desire to survive that was as strong as his heartbeat, he shouted:
"Psychic · Heretic Golem!"

Almost at the moment he shouted out the first byte, Minato Namikaze, who had already reacted, realized that something was wrong.

It was too late to condense the second Spiral Gale Light Arrow - Sixteenth Style at this moment. In such a short time, he couldn't even finish calling out the name of the move.

Naturally, just like he had practiced thousands of times in his daily life, Minato Namikaze swung out the trident kunai in his hand at the fastest speed, and the almost instinctive Flying Thunder God Technique was also activated at this moment.

At a distance of just a dozen meters, with the throwing technique at the level of a superior ninja, the speed of the kunai was even much faster than the initial velocity of the bullet out of the gun, and the violent whistling sound seemed to pierce through one's eardrums.

But
"Pfft!"

Just as Minato Namikaze appeared again with the Flying Thunder God Technique, holding the kunai in the air upside down, he decisively stabbed it into Nagato's neck.

A smile like that of a winner appeared on the pale face of the red-haired young man.

"boom--!"

An extremely heavy feeling of oppression suddenly came over Namikaze Minato along with the smoke and muffled sound unique to spiritual summoning, making him feel as if his brain was being crushed by something heavy.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked at the huge monster that suddenly appeared behind him with his peripheral vision and perception.

Then, a figure that looked like an evil ghost appeared in Minato Namikaze's field of vision. It was made entirely of wood, with its eyes covered. It was so huge that it seemed to be crushing the tower. No, it was crushing it!
"boom!"

The length of the creature alone was at least over a hundred meters, making Minato Namikaze look as small as an ant in front of him. The moment it appeared, it was like a naughty child lying on fragile building blocks, tearing and crushing the brittle building beneath it, which was as fragile as a biscuit.

The rising dust even overwhelmed the gradually returning drizzle, and the wooden thorns behind it pointed to the sky.

The violent roar instantly broke the hearing limit of everyone present.

"hold head high--!!!"

Behind Nagato who was standing there, a pitch-black tree seemed to have grown in an instant.

Countless black sticks made entirely of Yin-Yang Escape burst out, growing dozens or hundreds of meters in a short moment, and connected with the huge monster, causing him to suddenly burst into a shrill wail that was not like a human voice.

Minato Namikaze, who was floating behind him, was startled and subconsciously used Flying Thunder God to return to another positioning point, looking at the scene in front of him in astonishment.

It's not just Minato Namikaze.

Salamander Hanzo, Yahiko, Konan, and the unlucky Rain Ninja rushing over from afar.
Everyone stared at the scene in a daze.

Even Yahiko and Konan didn't know that Nagato actually had such a hidden card.

But why does this giant statue look so familiar?

They seemed to have seen it somewhere before.

The moment this thought came to his mind, Yahiko, whose brain was even more alert, immediately found a scene from his memory.

That was when they were first taken into some underground cave by that woman named Uchiha Hikaru.

On that occasion, they had witnessed a battle between the two most powerful Uchiha in the world, and possibly in history.

He clearly remembered that the monster standing behind Uchiha Madara that day seemed to be this kind of monster.

"Nagato.?"

Yahiko couldn't help but murmur subconsciously.

However, at this moment, Nagato was in such severe pain that it seemed to tear him apart that his rationality was almost blurred.

But in contrast to this vague rationality, his body was regenerating at an extremely fast speed.

At this moment, his body was like an insignificant punctuation mark, embellishing the incredibly huge outer golem, gasping for breath.

However, when he looked down at the ground beneath his feet, his eyes were filled with disbelief and extreme joy.

From being on the verge of death from a blow in the previous second to being invincible in the next second.

Such ups and downs are naturally not something a normal person can accept instantly.

It wasn't just him who couldn't accept it.

Hanzo of the Salamander, who had been killed instantly by this guy with one blow before, could not accept it.

“Monster!!”

As the leader of the Hidden Rain Village and located in the very center of the village, even with his personality, he could not tolerate retreating without fighting.

Perhaps it was out of fighting instinct, or perhaps he subconsciously wanted to protect something, Salamander Hanzo immediately completed the hand seal and summoned out the huge Salamander as well.

However, the extremely poisonous salamander, which is over ten meters tall and is usually enough to suppress most ninjas, is as fragile as a kitten to a brown bear in front of this monster.

"Ibu, poison mist spray!!"

He roared unwillingly, and the Salamander Ibushi whose life depended on him was indeed brave enough.

The dark purple poisonous mist, compressed by the bulging cheeks, swept across the huge body of the Outer Dao Golem like a poisonous dragon.

"Puff!" Unfortunately, their full-strength attack was like someone spitting on the ankle on the monster in front of them.

Not offensive, but insulting.

Nagato glanced in his direction.

The next moment, the mountain-like monster suddenly raised its hand towards the salamander.

A shadow that was comparable to the sky suddenly covered his entire field of vision.

Salamander Hanzo's pupils suddenly shrank.

At this moment, he didn't care about anything at all. He leaped to the side with all his strength and rolled dozens of meters away.

When the giant palm fell, both the Salamander under his feet and the fragile Yuyin Tower further below were smashed into a ball of mud like tofu.

Even the Salamander Hanzo himself, who had jumped far away, was blown away by the wind and waves brought by the attack. He hit a collapsed wall heavily and vomited blood.

But before he could calm down.

Following the slap of the giant palm, countless waves suddenly rolled up at the bottom of the earth, as if some twisted creature was crawling under the ground at an incredible speed.

After suffering a second injury, Hanzo of the Salamander was already at the end of his strength.

Even though his eyes had noticed something was wrong, his heavy and old body made it impossible for him to react for a moment, and he simply rolled to the side instinctively.

"Puff puff--!"

Countless thorny vine-like roots suddenly emerged from the point where he had just landed, shooting out in all directions, and as soon as they appeared, they penetrated the large areas of ruins around them.

Although Hanzo Salamander tried his best to dodge, he was still hit by a wooden splinter in the thigh.

The sudden pain made him look down subconsciously. It was obviously just an ordinary penetrating wound, but it made him feel a strong sense of danger.

as predicted.

Standing on top of the Outer Path Golem, Nagato raised two fingers and said in a low voice:
"The art of cuttings."

"Chucky!"

With that wooden thorn as the center, dozens or even hundreds of wooden thorns grew rapidly, drilling through the surroundings like a sea urchin.

Salamander Hanzo's body suddenly stiffened.

Head, torso, waist, abdomen, thighs.
The whole person was pierced like a hedgehog.

He once enjoyed the reputation of being invincible, and was rampant in the Second Ninja World War, making the three countries of Fire, Earth and Wind dare not underestimate him. He was a powerful man who once enjoyed a great reputation in the entire ninja world, but he died quietly.

On the other side, Minato Namikaze didn't even have time to look at him.

"Whoosh!"

The trident kunai shot out at lightning speed towards every corner around, trying their best to avoid the large area covered by the attack of the Outer Path Golem and form a circle around the huge body as much as possible.

This is Amegakure, not Konoha.

Therefore, Minato Namikaze naturally had no obligation to protect the villagers of Amegakure.

Therefore, the measures that the fastest man in the ninja world can take are naturally much more flexible than when he faced the Nine-Tails in the original world line.

At this moment, this golden figure was like a phantom light, constantly flashing around the huge monster under the gloomy rain curtain, trying to find the weak point on its body surface.

The Outer Path Demon Statue under Nagato's control was just like a cat playing with a mouse, constantly spinning its body, slapping and sweeping the corners of the ruins, trying to flip out Minato Namikaze's figure and crush him in one breath.

Moreover, it is obviously more urgent than Minato Namikaze.

The reason is also very simple.

Nagato pursed his lips tightly and looked at the man who was moving away with a pale face.

Every second after summoning the Outer Path Demon Statue, he was consuming a large amount of chakra in his body at an incredible speed.

If we can't get rid of this bastard as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Nagato suddenly made up his mind and opened his hands.

"All things are attracted by heaven!"

"Sealing Technique Absorbing Seal!"

"Soul-attracting dragon!"

While maintaining the Outer Path Golem's state at the same moment, he simultaneously performed three different escape techniques.

Almost at the moment when these three names were called out, thick blood vessels like twisted earthworms appeared on Nagato's forehead, and traces of blood were faintly visible in his pair of light purple eyes.

In contrast, it has extremely efficient blocking capabilities.

When the Ten Thousand Things Heavenly Attraction was performed, Minato Namikaze immediately felt as if his body was being pulled by chains, flying towards Nagato at an incredibly fast speed.

His reaction was extremely fast, and he completed the Flying Thunder God's chakra activation seal the moment his body was captured by gravity.

Just as he was about to break free from the restraints, he suddenly discovered that the trajectory of his chakra, which had been honed for thousands of years, was suddenly affected by some slight interference and suddenly stopped for a moment.

Nerves suddenly tense.

The next moment, a shadow as big as a snake or a dragon flew out from the huge mouth of the heretic golem towards him.

The winding dragon shape has no substance and is made entirely of chakra.

It is also because of this that the speed of the dragon-shaped chakra shot out exceeded the reaction limit of most ninjas.

However, this is obviously not the limit of Minato Namikaze.

"Fuck!"

Even if the Flying Thunder God has not been formed, just in terms of the technique of instant body movement, Minato Namikaze is one of the fastest people in the ninja world.

Even though he was still resisting the strong gravitational force, Minato Namikaze's body slid dozens of meters on the flat ground, and then followed with a Flying Thunder God leap, instantly jumping hundreds of meters away.

"Huhu."

Minato Namikaze knelt on one knee on the top of a high tower in the Hidden Rain, looking far in the direction of the Outer Path Demon Statue, and a bitter smile appeared on his handsome face.

"It's really, really screwed."

"I didn't expect that there is such a master hidden in the ninja world."

He sighed, looked helpless, reached into his pocket, and took out a strange-looking talisman.

Although there are other ways to deal with the opponent, if you want to solve it as soon as possible, you still have to rely on this thing.

This is a new product developed by Lord Orochimaru two years ago. Its main function is to lock the situation in time and space and seal the "information" that once existed in a certain space - it is said that this technology is copied from the dragon vein information.

Because the required materials are precious, the process is extremely complicated, and the consumption of manpower and material resources is huge, only a few have been made in the past two years.

What is sealed in the talisman in Namikaze Minato's hand is Sawara Kiri's full-strength attack.

I don't know what he was thinking about, but the bitter smile on Shuimen's face became more and more obvious.

"In the end, it still depends on your strength."

“It’s really humbling.”

However, when he stood up again, the helplessness on Namikaze Minato's face had turned into calmness.

He stood up straight and looked into the distance in the direction of the heretic golem.

Nagato had apparently also noticed his figure, and he controlled the huge Outer Path Demon Statue to turn around and suddenly raised his hand in the direction where he was standing.

Then, Namikaze Minato also raised his hand.

The square talisman stood without wind, locked firmly in the narrow space in front of Minato Namikaze, solidified as if it were glued.

Looking at this scene, for some reason, Nagato suddenly felt an unprecedented fear in his heart.

However, what appeared within his perception range was completely the opposite - he was completely unable to feel any chakra fluctuations within Minato Namikaze's body.

The blond man looked at the talisman floating in front of him and pointed his finger into a sword.

Cut open horizontally.

Namikaze Minato's voice was parallel to the "information" transmitted from the talisman. His figure seemed to overlap with Sawara Kiri standing on the mountain in that message. He pointed his finger forward and spoke synchronously:

"Smash it."

"The mountains shake tomorrow's wages."

Nagato raised his head in a daze, looking at the figure standing on the top of the tower and the glow reflected behind him.

At that moment, the sky was torn apart.
