Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 117 He is a great Wind Shadow

In the next instant, iron spikes spread outwards from the Third Kazekage as the center.

Soon, this narrow area transformed into a vast sand-iron barrier.

Magnet Release: Iron Sand Boundary Technique!

Minato Namikaze immediately went to Kyohiko's side, grabbed his shoulder, and was about to leave, but the next moment, the iron net opened, separating the two of them.

The Third Kazekage flew down from above.

Within the Iron Sand Realm, he is extremely fast and can fly nimbly. Unless facing ninjas with special abilities, he is practically invincible.

This is why he is called the strongest Kazekage.

Strands of iron sand coalesced into a blade.

Minato Namikaze twisted and turned in the gaps, while Kyohiko directly used his chakra burst to shatter the surrounding sand and iron blades.

"How many times can you use chakra?"

The Third Kazekage sneered.

He admitted it.

As a boy who is only ten years old, Yoshimine Kyohiko has extremely high talent.

He possesses the abilities of a Jonin at a young age, and many Jonin would be defeated in just a few moves against him. But no matter what, he has one weakness.

Chakra!

That's exactly what his design is about.

At this moment, Rasa also controlled the gold sand, which surged towards Minato Namikaze.

One person attacks Kyohiko, while the other distracts Minato Namikaze.

Not only did he take action himself, but he also teamed up with an elite Jonin...

The Third Kazekage clearly valued Kyohiko highly!

The oil-producing woman's heart sank to the bottom.

He manipulated the swarm of insects, which rapidly surged into the Sand Iron Realm, but they were all quickly surrounded and contracted by the Sand Iron and Sand Gold, keeping the swarm out.

Within the Sand Iron Realm, the three generations of Kazekage condensed iron needles that flew downwards.

Magnet Release: Iron Sand Rain!

There was almost no room for a person to stand around Jingyan, and he only managed to withstand wave after wave of attacks by constantly unleashing bursts of chakra.

"kill!"

"Kyohiko!"

Shuimen shouted.

However, the boy disregarded everything, leaped up, and charged into the sky, resolute and determined.

At that moment, the Konoha ninjas roared and fought back the enemy in front of them, hoping to help the two inside the Iron Sand World Law.

however.

In addition to harassing Minato Namikaze, Rasa also has the power to harass them.

Because the main force against Kyohiko and Minato Namikaze is still the Kazekage within the Iron Sand Law, he can move freely within the Iron Sand Law.

Seeing Kyohiko charging towards him, the Third Kazekage conjured an iron spear in his hand, his figure shifting as he flew behind Kyohiko, preparing to pierce him with a single blow.

A slight smile played on his lips.

Even the most talented person is still a child!

Although powerful enough, their judgment of the situation was not rational enough. Sometimes retreating was not a mistake. Being too stubborn and arrogant would only bring disaster to the ninja army.

He maneuvered the iron spear to fly behind Kyohiko.

In an instant, Kyohiko turned around in mid-air and slashed the iron spear with a hand chop.

Iron sand grew all around him, squeezing his living space.

Chakra exploded, sustaining life.

But at the same time.

The Third Kazekage noticed that the strange patterns on Kyohiko's face had disappeared, and his aura was rapidly declining.

It's now!

He clasped his hands together, and the iron sand above him condensed into a huge cuboid, from which the iron sand creation fell from above.

Minato Namikaze appeared beside Kyohiko in an instant.

The next second, he reached up to the sky and teleported the sand-iron creation away.

However, more iron sands spread and grew.

The Sand and Iron Boundary Law is still in effect!

A steel spike pierced directly into Minato Namikaze's arm and leg.

Within the Iron Sand Realm, the Third Kazekage was completely at ease and extremely confident, but just as he was about to kill the two, Minato Namikaze vanished into thin air.

The next moment, the Third Kazekage felt a strange sense of crisis.

He didn't have time to determine the source of the crisis.

Just as it was about to fly away, a loud creaking and cracking sound came from underground.

The earth is cracking and there are earthquakes.

What happened?

Both Konoha and Sunagakure were stunned.

but.

"Everyone, retreat quickly!"

Kakashi shouted.

The Konoha ninjas immediately moved away.

The next second, he felt a powerful suction force coming from below, far more terrifying than normal gravity!

at last.

boom!

With a loud bang, the ground around them collapsed, revealing three strange iron pillars.

The coiled iron pillars, freed through sealing and summoning techniques, broke through the earth layer by layer, reaching the sky near the ground.

The Third Kazekage felt increasingly uneasy.

He hadn't guessed what the trap was, but he sensed something was wrong and immediately pulled the trigger to retreat.

Then, the Third Kazekage took to the air, preparing to escape.

but.

Underground, Orochimaru, his shadow clones, and the Ninjutsu Squad each controlled the iron pillars, continuously injecting chakra into the lines.

This requires an extremely large amount of chakra.

The group below had been lying in ambush for a long time, and the chakra they unleashed together was more than enough to supply them for a short period of time.

Even if it's just for a moment, that's enough.

The massive sand-iron barrier was instantly attracted by the immense magnetic force and collapsed with a roar!

"What?"

Ebizo, watching from a distance, was filled with shock and panic.

He got it.

Konoha's goal has never been defense, but rather to lull them into complacency and carelessness!

The entire plan was designed to make the Third Kazekage and Rasa believe that Magnet Release's flight ability was safe, and that they could safely attempt to kill Kyohiko.

In reality, the opponent's target has always been the Kazekage!

"Save Kazekage-sama!"

He shouted.

However, the Third Kazekage, who has always been invincible in everyone's eyes, needs to be saved.

No one had imagined this situation.

even.

Many people instinctively tried to cover for and help, only to find that their puppet parts were also drawn to the puppet, causing it to immediately collapse and fall apart.

This magnetic force is enormous!

Luo Sha was terrified.

He was originally flying on a sand mat, but the trace amount of iron inside the sand mat was attracted by a strong magnetic force, which instead dragged him towards Konoha.

Luo Sha had no choice but to jump down from above.

Fortunately, the altitude wasn't too high, and there were people from Sunagakure below, so they landed safely.

but.

The Third Kazekage wasn't so lucky.

The Third Kazekage, who had spread his wings intending to fly away, was immediately dragged down by his wings and plummeted downwards in an instant.

He immediately dispersed the iron sand.

Although the speed of the fall was stopped, but—

The next moment, a figure appeared in front of him.

Yoshimine Kyohiko? !

How is that possible!

"How do you still have chakra?"

Furthermore, these strange patterns reminded him of a terrifying rumor—

It is said that Hashirama Senju possessed a power capable of subduing tailed beasts!

Could it be?

The Third Kazekage made a connection in his mind.

He was unaware that Kyohiko was in Sage Mode at the moment; it was just a coincidence that he thought Kyohiko might have mastered abilities similar to the First Hokage.

At this moment, the Third Kazekage felt boundless fear and regret.

Damn it!

How can this be another Tobirama Senju?

This is clearly another Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi!

If he had known this would happen, why would he have become an enemy of Konoha?

Regret is useless.

At this moment, the Third Kazekage was only thinking about how to survive, or—

Inform your subordinates of the intelligence you have obtained!

Either don't become enemies with Konoha, or kill Kyohiko now.

His mind raced, but the magnetic force below remained immense. In fact, after absorbing his iron sand, the magnetic force in that area was even stronger than before!

His bloodline limit was useless, while Kyohiko's speed far exceeded his expectations.

The only thing we can use right now is the Shadow Clone Technique.

The Third Kazekage actively amplified the magnetic force, causing his figure to plummet downwards, avoiding the oncoming Kyohiko.

however.

The figure in the sky vanished into nothingness.

Shadow clone?

His mind went blank.

The next instant, a figure shot upwards like lightning from the ground.

Bang!

The lightning chakra released in the form of superhuman strength exploded on his fist, transforming into the most terrifying attack, directly piercing through the Third Kazekage's shadow clone.

However, the Third Kazekage also created a mass of iron sand beneath him.

Iron sand fell, hurtling towards Kyohiko.

Then, Kyohiko formed a hand seal and created a shadow clone.

He threw a punch with his other hand.

Even the hard iron sand was futile before the power of the immortals and the strength of monsters, and was smashed and disintegrated by a single punch.

His shadow clone appeared in the water.

Water and lightning combine to form a water dragon coiled with electric current, surging upwards.

Immortal Technique: Thunder and Water Dragon Bullet!

The Third Kazekage was powerless to do anything more.

He shouted as loudly as he could.

"Run! Run!"

Then, he was wrapped in layers of iron sand.

The moment it struck the iron sand, the water dragon roared, and the violent impact slammed it straight to the ground.

……

The ninjas of Sunagakure never imagined that one day, their proud Magnet Release would become the death warrant for the Third Kazekage and the puppeteer.

At this moment, their only remaining threats to Konoha are Wind Release and Poison.

however.

Neither of these methods could save the Kazekage.

Hearing the roar, Ebizo's eyes blurred with tears. He knew that the Third Kazekage was doomed.

"Elder Ebizo, please let me go again..."

As Rasa was speaking, he saw a water dragon, stronger and more terrifying than before, rise from the sky in the distance and violently crash into the Third Kazekage.

At this moment, Kyohiko held the water dragon in his hand and stood on the foot of the third generation of Kazekage, his might so great that he was invincible.

He was stunned, and then despair followed.

Why is this guy named Ryōmine Kyohiko so powerful?

and.

Why are they able to counter Magnetism?

He couldn't figure it out.

A faint shout came from afar.

run!

Run!

Ebizo gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat!"

He finally made up his mind.

We can't keep them any longer.

If we stay any longer, all the Sand Village ninja will die; we must preserve the spark of hope for the village.

In an instant, the army retreated, leaving only the water dragons in the distance impacting the black sphere, falling like meteors.

All the Sand Village ninja here know this.

That was their shadow.

however.

He is dying!

……

boom!

The iron sand exploded in all directions like bombs.

The terrifying chakra eventually transformed into the most surging magnetic force, while Orochimaru and the Ninja Team's chakra gradually weakened underground.

He finally mastered the magnetic force.

but.

He only had time left—

Jingyan grabbed the water dragon, and with his other hand, he unleashed a terrifying force, directly smashing through the sand and iron protection he had created with Magnet Release.

and so.

He could only use his last bit of strength to blast all the iron sand away.

"retreat!"

Minato Namikaze's pupils contracted.

He flew to Kyohiko's side with the Thunder God Technique and instantly took Kyohiko and the Third Kazekage away at the same time.

Half of the iron sand exploded in all directions, transforming into swords and knives that attacked everything around them erratically.

Fortunately.

After the Third Kazekage was taken away, Orochimaru regained control of the magnetic force.

Those iron sand weapons were pulled back by the magnetic force halfway through their flight, causing their impact to weaken and lose their original power.

Although many people were still injured, the lethality has been reduced to a minimum.

The land was ravaged.

A few ninjas who were already injured were caught in the ninjutsu and were directly stabbed, losing their life force.

Orochimaru was panting heavily underground.

Controlling two electromagnets by himself is a considerable drain on his energy.

Otherwise, he would have definitely sent people to hunt down the Sand Village ninja.

But now...

He used a sealing technique to put away the three iron pillars.

They will be useful in the future!

With his remaining chakra, Orochimaru led his ninja team back to the surface from underground.

"The war is over!"

He said in a low voice.

A thunderous cheer suddenly erupted from the crowd.

Even Aburame Shiki was like that.

He had considered that Kyohiko and Orochimaru might have ulterior motives, and that their goal might be to ambush Sunagakure again, but he never expected—

Their target is the Third Kazekage!

If you're going to gnaw, gnaw on the hardest bone.

Finally, we succeeded!

His facial muscles trembled, making it impossible to tell whether he was crying or laughing.

This battle was completely unexpected.

Orochimaru turned his head: "However, the greatest contributor is not me. All the plans this time were made by Kyohiko."

After saying that, he smiled and looked in the direction of the Land of Wind.

"For the next few years, Sunagakure won't dare to come again!"

Destroying someone's pride is far more terrifying than destroying their physical body.

A few ninjas may die, but they can be reborn and trained. However, the breaking of the Magnet Release technique, which the village was so proud of, would be a devastating blow to Sunagakure.

This means that their Magnetism and Puppetry techniques will be greatly reduced.

Unless they can figure out how Konoha did it, Sunagakure is unlikely to attack Konoha again.

A thunderous cheer erupted from the foot of Kikyo Mountain, while some of the ninjas began sweeping the surrounding area, dealing with the remaining enemies and capturing the survivors as prisoners.

After a thorough sweep, only a devastated area remained outside Kikyo Mountain.

……

On Kikyo Mountain, Kyohiko was still shaken.

Even the Third Kazekage was terrified by his final outburst. Fortunately, Minato Namikaze was quick enough to use Flying Thunder God Technique to take him and the Third Kazekage away at the same time.

Otherwise, even if he hadn't been injured, the ninjas of Konoha would have suffered heavy losses.

"As expected of a Kage-level character!"

Jingyan sighed.

Minato Namikaze nodded, his expression complex: "Yes, he unleashed his last strength for the sake of Sunagakure. It was a truly terrifying will."

"To Sunagakure, he was a great Kazekage, but to us, he was an enemy."

Jingyan sighed, "This is war. There is no right or wrong, only interests and positions."

"Isn't there any way to eliminate war?"

Minato Namikaze had mixed feelings, and was somewhat confused.

This confusion didn't just arise now; it's a question that's been lingering in my mind recently.

How can we achieve peace?

Jingyan looked into the distance, his gaze seemingly piercing through time and space, seeing his past life.

Even in that era, in a world with thousands of years of history, no one could find true peace, so how could he speak so lightly?

If I had to say...

"Perhaps, eliminating differences of opinion and allowing everyone to share common interests can lead to peaceful coexistence, but this requires an opportunity and sustained effort."

Jingyan said.

Then, he looked down at the Third Kazekage.

Even in death, the other's eyes remained open, gazing towards the Land of Wind.

He was a great wind spirit.
