Starting from the root of Konoha, he was the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 226: Minato Team VS the Third Raikage AB Combination!

Every era has its influential figures.

If the last Ninja World War belonged to the era of Shu Hoshita, then this Ninja World War belongs to the era of Minato Namikaze.

The yellow flash of light completely obscured the light of Konoha White Fang, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru and others.

Following his amazing performance at the Iwagakure battlefield, as Iwagakure and Konoha started peace talks, Namikaze Minato arrived at the Kumogakure battlefield after only a short rest.

Unlike the original timeline, this time Minato Namikaze's teammates are the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Kushina and Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

This time they came here together from the battlefield of Rain Country.

In the Kumogakure battlefield, the leader of Konoha is Hatake Sakumo, and the commander is Akimichi Tofu of the Akimichi clan.

Akimichi Tofu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Namikaze Minato and the other two arrive: "It's great that you're here!"

Namikaze Minato quickly asked, "Master Qufeng, is the current situation very grim?"

Akimichi Tofu said: "The defense is still very solid at the moment, but Kumogakure's AB combination is very powerful, and Sakumo is injured."

Minato Namikaze and the other two were shocked when they heard this.

Konoha White Fang was actually injured!
Akimichi Tofu said solemnly, "Combination A and B, Killer Bee is the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. Judging from the current situation, this guy's control over the power of the Eight-Tails is far superior to the previous generation of Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."

"And the son of the Raikage, his attainments in Lightning Release are already very deep. Even Sakumo is inferior to him in terms of speed."

"This combination is very tough and the teamwork is very close."

After hearing this, Minato Namikaze immediately said, "Let us handle the AB combination from now on!"

Qiu Dao Qu Feng nodded, this was exactly what he meant.

At this moment, a figure hurried into the tent: "Master Qufeng, the Kingdom of Lightning has sent intelligence that the Raikage has been dispatched, and their target is us!"

"what?"

Qiu Dao Qu Feng suddenly stood up.

The expressions of Minato Namikaze and others also changed.

"I didn't expect the Third Raikage to take action himself."

Akimichi Tofu calmed down, but his expression was not good: "I am not sure I can stop the Third Raikage."

In terms of strength, he is not afraid of the Third Raikage at all.

But in terms of speed, he is far behind.

The Raikage lineage is proficient in lightning escape, possessing a strong body, powerful strength, terrifying attack power, and speed.

Akimichi Tofu had witnessed the strength of the Third Raikage when he was young, during the First Ninja World War.

"I will inform Hiruzen about this, but it may be too late..."

Akimichi Tofu looked at Namikaze Minato and said, "Minato, I need you to deal with the AB combination alone until the reinforcements arrive."

"Kushina, Shinnosuke, you and I, along with White Fang, will hold back the Third Raikage!"

Namikaze Minato quickly said: "Why don't I hold back the Third Raikage!"

The Third Raikage is much more dangerous than the AB combination.

Uzumaki Kushina snorted at this time: "Minato, don't underestimate us!"

"Just deal with the AB team, and leave the Third Raikage to us."

"Don't forget, Shinnosuke and I are not bad either. Not to mention we have Master Tofu and Sakumo-senpai here."

"Even if we can't defeat the Third Raikage, it shouldn't be a problem to contain him."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded in agreement: "Minato, don't worry!"

Qiu Dao Qu Feng immediately made the decision: "It's decided!"

After sending the information back to Konoha, Akimichi Toukaze took Namikaze Minato and the other two to the front line.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki were dazzling.

A Flying Thunder God, and a man using a unique chakra mode.

Moreover, Iwagakure and Kumogakure had been exchanging intelligence before, and some of Uzumaki Kushina's information had already been obtained by Kumogakure.

Not to mention, the Hidden Cloud Village has been planning on Uzumaki Kushina for a long time.

Therefore, the news of the two appearing on the battlefield spread quickly.

in the afternoon.

Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina, Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the AB combination met unexpectedly.

The two sides confronted each other, and Namikaze Minato took a step forward: "Everyone, don't move, leave it to me."

As he spoke, he swung his hands and a large number of Flying Thunder God Kunai flew out.

Across from him, a Cloud Ninja saw Minato Namikaze's hair color and the scattered Flying Thunder God Kunai, and then saw the unique chakra on Uzumaki Kushina's body, and his face immediately changed: "Could this guy be Konoha's Yellow Flash?"

"And that woman is the Kyuubi Jinchuriki!"

The Cloud Ninja turned to Ai and said, "Let's retreat!"

Ai stared at Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki across from him and snorted, "No, this is an opportunity."

He has not forgotten the humiliation he suffered at the hands of Xingxiaxiu.

Moreover, Konoha's yellow flash had long been famous, and he wanted to see it and test its depth.

Finally, this is an opportunity to take down the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

At this time, Namikaze Minato spoke loudly: "You are the son of the Third Raikage, Ai, right? I heard that you are quite capable."

Kirabi, ready for battle, hummed softly and rapped, "As long as my brother and I are here, we can handle you. You idiot! You bastard!"

Hearing Killer Bee cursing, Uzumaki Kushina immediately put her hands on her hips and said, "You bastard, you can't even speak properly, and you're still talking big here."

Killer Bee's eyes fell on Uzumaki Kushina and thought to himself, "The power of the Nine-Tails... Hachi-chan, is this guy the same as me?"

Yabi said, "No, it should be far worse than you."

"But she has forcibly taken control of the power of that Kyuubi guy. You have to be careful."

Killer Bee immediately became dissatisfied: "Hachi, I am the first perfect Jinchūriki, don't underestimate yourself."

While communicating with each other consciously, Kirabi said, "Women are always troublesome. I won't bother with you, but I will catch you later, idiot! Bastard!"

This guy's words really make me... angry!
Uzumaki Kushina raised her brows, then said to Namikaze Minato: "Minato, I will deal with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."

Namikaze Minato refused: "No, Kushina, you guys just watch first."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke advised, "Kushina, let's take this opportunity to find their weaknesses."

Uzumaki Kushina nodded reluctantly, "Alright then!"

"But, this guy, I'm going to beat him up sooner or later!"

Uzumaki Kushina raised her fist viciously.

opposite.

A strong electric light appeared on Ai's body, and he entered the Lightning Chakra mode.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke looked at him with a fixed gaze: "What a powerful Lightning Release, even stronger than Teacher Xiu's. No wonder Sakumo-senpai also suffered a loss."

He was also trying to practice the Lightning Release Chakra mode, but it was very difficult.

The main reason is that the body is not strong enough. Deep cell activation will be very painful and will cause you to lose subtle control over your body, which is not worth the effort.

After watching Hoshita Hide perform the Lightning Release Chakra mode many times, Sarutobi Shinnosuke could naturally easily judge the gap between the two sides in this regard.

At this time, Ai moved and rushed towards Minato Namikaze.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was surprised: "How fast!"

"I'm afraid only Shuu-sensei's speed and Minato's can match that, and uh, Kushina's Nine-Tails Chakra Mode."

Uzumaki Kushina was also shocked.

After previous battles, she had seen many ninjas, and she had hardly seen such speed except for Hideo Hoshita and Minato Namikaze.

Ai rushed to Minato Namikaze like a ball of lightning and punched him in the blink of an eye.

Namikaze Minato threw the kunai in his hand, and at the critical moment, his figure disappeared from Ai's sight.

“He actually avoided it…”

Ai caught a glimpse of Minato Namikaze appearing on a tree on the left from the corner of his eye.

But the next moment, Minato Namikaze appeared behind Ai, caught the kunai and stabbed Ai.

Bang!
Ai's body flew out, and the Flying Thunder God Kunai slashed down, cutting the tentacles of the Eight-Tails.

But it was Kirabi who pushed Ai away with his tentacles at the critical moment.

Ai's figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye he was back to the Cloud Ninja, "Sorry, Bi!"

Kirabi's head was covered in cold sweat, but he remained firm: "This little injury is nothing."

"Yawei is the rapper, Master Kirabi!"

Minato Namikaze looked at the tentacles that were slowly retracting and said, "You are very brave. Regardless of the fact that you are the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, as a ninja, you seem to possess something extraordinary." He was very perceptive, especially with his companion Uzumaki Kushina by his side. At the same time, he also had the Zero-Tails sealed in his body, so he noticed that Killer Bee, who was also a Jinchuriki, was different.

"Perhaps this is what Xiu-sensei was talking about...the perfect Jinchūriki!"

Minato Namikaze guessed secretly.

When Ai saw Minato Namikaze praising Killer Bee, he immediately said proudly, "Humph, this guy is more talented than me!"

Namikaze Minato said calmly: "No, that's not what I'm talking about. He has something more precious than talent."

Ai frowned after hearing this. He didn't understand what Minato Namikaze meant.

Uzumaki Kushina understood and was very surprised: "Minato, you mean this weird guy did it?"

Namikaze Minato nodded slightly.

Ai snorted coldly: "Don't divert attention, I have found a way to deal with it."

He glanced at the Flying Thunder God Kunai and thought to himself, "His instant body technique should only be able to move to those kunai. As long as I lock onto them, I can reach them as quickly as possible after he appears."

After thinking about it, Ai rushed towards Minato Namikaze again.

He is confident in his speed.

Although Minato Namikaze moved quickly, it was a bit unexpected before. But now that we know where he might move to, it will be easy to deal with him.

however.

Minato Namikaze disappeared again.

But he did not appear in any of the kunisaki's positions, but appeared behind Kirabi.

Ai was shocked, as were the other Kumo ninjas and even the many Konoha ninjas who were watching the battle.

A Cloud Ninja noticed the technique on the octopus' tail and suddenly realized: "The mark was left at that time. How terrifying..."

At this moment, Killer Bee's sword also stabbed towards Minato Namikaze's abdomen, and the two of them were in a situation of mutual destruction.

"bring it on!"

Killer Bee broke out in a cold sweat, but said coldly: "I have already prepared myself to die in battle as a ninja!"

Namikaze Minato smiled and praised sincerely: "You are really excellent."

Killer Bee reminded him of Kakashi.

Kakashi is also a very outstanding kid.

Swish!
Minato Namikaze disappeared and returned to Konoha.

At this time, a whistle was heard from behind.

"Minato, that's the signal to retreat!"

The Konoha ninja yelled.

Namikaze Minato nodded and turned around.

The Konoha ninja retreated.

Ai did not attack again, as he had already seen Minato Namikaze's strength.

Very difficult.

Just now, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki had not yet taken action.

"withdraw!"

Ai gave the order and many Cloud Shinobi retreated, only to realize that the Third Raikage had arrived.

the other side.

Minato Namikaze and others retreated and learned from Akimichi Tofu that the Third Raikage had arrived.

It was Konoha's perception ninja who sensed the chakra of the Third Raikage.

of course.

The next day, during the confrontation, the Third Raikage was there.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke's expression became serious.

Ai is already very powerful. As the third Raikage, his Lightning Release Chakra mode has probably reached its peak.

Uzumaki Kushina stared at the Third Raikage, her expression no longer as relaxed as yesterday: "This guy... is very powerful!"

Qiu Dao Qu Feng said: "Proceed according to the plan discussed yesterday!"

Everyone nodded.

Across from them, the Third Raikage's gaze swept over Namikaze Minato and the others, and finally landed on Uzumaki Kushina: "Nine-Tails Jinchuriki..."

"Can you guys do that?"

The Third Raikage looked at his son and Killer Bee.

Ai nodded: "Don't worry, we can do it!"

The Third Raikage nodded and stepped out.

Today he will take down the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!
Minato Namikaze's eyes focused, and he immediately took out the Flying Thunder God Kunai and threw it out.

"Compare!"

Ai shouted loudly, activated the Lightning Chakra mode, and rushed forward, heading straight for Minato Namikaze.

Kirabi stood with a knife in his hand, and his octopus tail extended silently.

This side of Konoha.

Uzumaki Kushina's figure floated up, while Sarutobi Shinnosuke pressed his hands to the ground.

The next moment, stone walls rose from the ground, blocking the sight of both sides.

But then the stone walls exploded one after another.

The Third Raikage arrived later but was the first to arrive, one step ahead of Ai, and killed Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the others.

"coming!"

Hatake Sakumo let out a low roar, and the next moment his figure disappeared from where he was. The many Konoha ninjas only saw a white flash of light.

Hatake Sakumo charged head-on, slashing at the Third Raikage with his sword.

But the Third Raikage reacted extremely quickly, twisting his body to avoid Hatake Sakumo's sword.

The next moment, there was a loud bang and the ground sank.

It turned out to be Qiu Dao Qu Feng who used the multiplication technique and smashed down with a huge fist.

But it was avoided by the Third Raikage.

Just as he was about to leap up and head straight for the flying vortex of Kushina, the ground beneath his feet turned to mud.

Earth Escape*Yellow Spring Marsh!
At this moment, Kushina, who was swirling in the air, shouted, "Disperse!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Wind Style Rasenshuriken was thrown down.

Hatake Sakumo used the instant body technique to retreat, and Akimichi Qufeng also dispersed the multiplication technique and retracted his fist.

The Third Raikage, who was stuck in the mud, looked up and saw the Wind Style Rasenshuriken right in front of him.

However, the next moment, the Third Raikage disappeared.

"what?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was shocked. Yomiuri Swamp was completely useless.

At this time, the Wind Style Rasenshuriken fell to the ground, and then a roar swept through, and the ball of light expanded rapidly.

In the dazzling light, Sarutobi Shinnosuke caught sight of the Third Raikage.

"Although it didn't trap him, it still slowed him down."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke formed seals with his hands, opened his mouth and spit out water, which poured out like a big river.

Boom!

The water flow hit the Third Raikage, and then the storm formed by the Wind Style Rasenshuriken also swept in, carrying up the water flow and forming a storm.

When the storm passes.

The Third Raikage stood there intact, with a huge pit behind him.

"This type of wind escape technique has appeared in intelligence reports. It belongs to that guy Xingxia Xiu."

"It was enough to hurt me, but the speed..."

The Third Raikage looked up at Kushina Uzumaki in the air.

The Wind Style Rasenshuriken is very powerful, but it is not as fast as him.

"I need to deal with this first..."

The Third Raikage turned his gaze and looked at Sarutobi Shinnosuke.
