Naruto: The Ninja World's Life Buyer

Chapter 139 Mutual Destruction, History Rewritten

The wind in the canyon has stopped.

The air was filled with such an immense amount of chakra that even the wind was suppressed.

Ai stood on the rock, isolated and helpless.

His younger brother Killer Bee was being held down by Jiraiya and Gamabunta, wrestling with a toad in the mud and unable to break free for the time being.

He himself was surrounded by Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze, one in front and one behind.

"Good! Very good!"

Lightning surged to its peak on Ai's body, and his hair stood on end.

"Then let me see just how much you're worth!"

"Lightning Release: Lightning Torture Horizontal Dance!"

It's moving.

Lightning Release Chakra Mode activated at full power.

His body transformed into a thick pillar of lightning, hurtling towards Minato Namikaze.

He needs to deal with the fastest one first. Once he kills the user of Flying Thunder God Technique, no one can stop him from leaving.

"Die!"

Ai's hand slashed towards Minato's neck.

too fast.

Minato's gaze was extremely focused.

In the instant the hand-blade was about to strike.

call out.

The water gate disappeared.

Ai's hand slashed through the air, creating a vacuum wave that instantly cracked a ten-meter-long gash in the distant rock wall.

"Where?!"

Ai's combat instincts were extremely strong, and he immediately turned around and swept his sword.

But the water gate was already above his head.

Just a moment ago, Minato threw a Flying Thunder God kunai into the air.

"Rasengan!"

Minato pressed the blue orb in his hand towards A's back. A powerful strike. The high-speed rotating chakra of the Rasengan possessed extremely strong grinding and impact force.

boom!

The Rasengan struck the Lightning Release armor.

Blue light clashed with blue light. The ear-piercing friction sound was like a thousand birds singing in unison.

Ai was blasted forward by the attack, and the lightning armor on his back collapsed.

"Such firm flesh!"

The water gate flipped backwards and landed on the ground.

His palms felt slightly numb.

Although the Rasengan hit, the Lightning Release Chakra Mode's defense was too strong, and combined with A's own physical strength, the attack did not cause a fatal injury.

"Is that all?"

Ai turned around, his back swollen and red, and swallowed a mouthful of blood. His internal organs were injured, but he couldn't let the enemy notice.

Even he couldn't withstand being hit by two Rasengans in a row.

However, Orochimaru did not give him a chance to catch his breath.

The soil beneath Ai's feet suddenly softened.

"Earth Release·Yellow Spring Marsh!"

Ai's feet sank into the mud.

Although lightning can stimulate cell activity, its speed advantage is completely lost without a point of leverage.

"Hidden Shadows, Many Snake Hands!"

Countless venomous snakes flew out from Orochimaru's sleeves and coiled around Ai's limbs.

At the same time, the Kusanagi sword in his hand extended.

"Sora no Tachi!"

The Kusanagi sword transformed into a streak of white light, once again piercing Ai's throat. That was the most vulnerable part of the human body.

Cooperate tacitly.

Minato was responsible for restraint and breaking through defenses, while Orochimaru was responsible for control and finishing blows.

This is the collaboration of two generations of geniuses from Konoha.

"Get out of here!"

Ai roared in anger.

Unable to move his feet, he could only unleash chakra.

"When the Thunder God meets Suzuki's Blade!"

His entire body erupted with lightning once more, shattering all the venomous snakes that were coiled around him.

Then he clasped his hands together and caught the blade with his bare hands!

Snapped!

He actually managed to clamp the blade of the Kusanagi sword between his hands.

The incomparably sharp divine weapon, the grass sword, was unable to cut through his palm covered in lightning armor.

"Got you!"

Ai grinned maliciously, trying to break the sword with his strength.

Orochimaru's neck suddenly stretched out, bending like a snake. His head flew over, opened its mouth wide, and spat out another sword.

This is the real killer move.

Body modification and soft body surgery.

Ai had no choice but to release his grip on the sword and turn his head to dodge.

laugh.

The sword's edge grazed his cheek, leaving a bloody mark.

"Damn snake!"

Ai became increasingly alarmed as he fought.

The three of them worked together perfectly.

Jiraiya used his summoning beast to suppress the strongest fighting force, the Eight-Tails.

Orochimaru used various bizarre ninjutsu to restrict his movements.

Minato, on the other hand, was like a ghost, always ready to deliver a fatal blow.

The rhythm was completely controlled by Konoha.

If this continues, his chakra will be exhausted, and he will die.

"By! Stop playing around! Use the Tailed Beast Ball!"

Ai yelled at Killer Bee, who was still wrestling with the toad.

"But big brother! It's too close here, it'll blow you up!" Eight-tailed Fox replied in a muffled voice.

"I can't worry about that now! Otherwise, we'll all die!"

Ai made a decision.

Rather than be boiled like a frog in slowly heating water, it's better to perish together.

"Alright! Let's blow it up to our hearts' content, you idiot!"

Killer Bee is a ruthless guy too.

The Eight-Tailed Beast suddenly exerted its strength, its eight tentacles tightly binding Gamabunta, preventing him from escaping.

At the same time, it opened its big mouth.

The black Tailed Beast Ball condensed once more.

This time, it's bigger and more unstable than before.

It plans to detonate at point-blank range!

"madman!"

Wen Tai cursed.

"Jiraiya! Retreat! This octopus is about to explode!"

Jiraiya's expression changed.

The Tailed Beast Ball exploded right in his face; even Gamabunta couldn't withstand it.

"Watergate! Evacuate!"

Jiraiya shouted.

Minato can use the Flying Thunder God Technique to transfer the Tailed Beast Ball away.

Minato's figure flickered and appeared near the Eight-Tails.

He held a specially made kunai horizontally in front of him, and a black spacetime spell instantly opened in the air.

Just then.

A strange buzzing sound suddenly came from the distant sky.

"What is it?"

Sosuke, hiding in the safe zone at a distance, suddenly raised his left snake-like eye.

The sky has cracked open.

It's not an adjective. It really cracked.

The clouds were torn apart, revealing the pale sky behind them.

He saw a point of light.

It plummeted from the distant northern horizon at a speed defying the laws of physics.

Boom!

The point of light struck the center of the battlefield, landing precisely between the Eight-Tails and Gamabunta.

The massive shockwave sent Bunta flying.

The tailed beast ball that was condensing was shattered by the shockwave, turning into countless specks of chakra light.

The smoke and dust cleared.

A figure resembling a demon god stood in the center of the crater.

He was extremely burly, with dark skin and a lightning-shaped scar on his chest.

His body was wrapped in tangible lightning.

The Third Raikage

The man hailed as the "strongest shield" and the "strongest spear".

"A divine gift!"

Sousuke blurted out.

The Third Raikage actually used his physical body to directly descend onto the battlefield using the forbidden technique of the Heavenly Delivery Technique, which teleports inanimate objects!

"Dad?!"

Ai exclaimed in surprise.

"Why are you here?"

"Fool!"

The Third Raikage had a deep, resonant voice.

"Deeply isolated and surrounded by the legendary Sannin of Konoha, they still have to use a Tailed Beast Ball to self-destruct?"

"If I don't come, Kumogakure will lose its future!"

He turned his head and looked at Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Minato.

"The Legendary Sannin of Konoha—and that blond brat."

"Your scheme was quite clever."

"but----"

The Third Raikage raised his right hand.

That's all.

"6

He pushed off with his foot.

boom!!!

The entire valley trembled. The ground instantly collapsed, creating a crater ten meters in diameter.

Using this as a reaction force, the Third Raikage's figure disappeared.

This linear speed even surpasses that of A in Lightning Release Chakra Mode!

Orochimaru's vertical pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinpoints. He sensed the approach of death.

The Third Raikage's target was him! Because he was the one who looked the most sinister and threatening on the field.

"Hellish Thrust - Four-in-One Slash!"

The Third Raikage brought his fingers together, his four fingers wrapped in a high density of lightning chakra, transforming into an indestructible spear.

Orochimaru slammed his hands on the ground.

"Spiritual Communication: Triple Rashomon!"

Rumble!

Three enormous iron gates, each painted with the face of a demon, rose from the ground and blocked his way.

However, these doors are as fragile as paper in the face of the "strongest spear".

puff!puff!puff!

The Third Raikage's figure pierced through the three Rashomon gates in an instant, and his terrifying hand plunged directly into Orochimaru's chest.

"Ugh————"

Orochimaru's eyes widened.

His body was instantly carbonized by the lightning, turning into a piece of charred mud.

Substitute technique.

The real him emerged from underground dozens of meters away, panting heavily, his face deathly pale.

"That was close!"

This is the Third Raikage. A monster with no weaknesses, excelling in both offense and defense.

"Did you dodge it?"

The Third Raikage shook the dirt off his hands, turned around, and fixed his gaze on Minato Namikaze in the distance.

"Then let's move on to the next one."

The battlefield situation reversed instantly.

Sosuke hid behind a rock in the distance, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"This is—the physical strength of a peak Kage-level expert."

His palms were sweaty.

Even with his "Water Sand Cutting," this monster probably couldn't cut through that layer of lightning armor.

"Konoha is going to lose."

Sosuke made his judgment.

He looked at Kakashi and Hyuga Masaru beside him.

"Kakashi, victory! Prepare to retreat."

"Yes."

In the distance, sensing the Third Raikage's lock-on, Minato Namikaze did not retreat.

Under that suffocating pressure, his eyes became even clearer and calmer.

He knew very well that if they retreated now and allowed the AB duo to leave unscathed, Konoha's front line would be finished.

Someone has to step up and break this deadlock.

"Jiraiya-sensei, Orochimaru-sama, cover me!"

The next second, the water gate moved.

He didn't charge at the Third Raikage. Because he knew that he couldn't break through that monster's defenses in his current state.

His goal is—Ai.

The future Fourth Raikage is currently in a weakened state due to physical injuries.

"You want to kill my son?!"

The Third Raikage flew into a rage and turned to charge at Minato.

"Don't even think about it!"

Jiraiya roared, his long hair dancing wildly.

"Ninjutsu: Needle Jizo!"

Countless hardened white hairs shot towards the Third Raikage like steel needles, blocking his path.

Although it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, it bought them 0.1 seconds.

This is enough.

Minato's figure appeared behind Ai.

Ai realized what was happening.

"That trick again? The same old trick doesn't work on me!"

Ai turned around, gathering Lightning Release chakra in his elbow, and delivered a powerful elbow strike backward.

But this time, Minato didn't use the Rasengan. He didn't follow the trajectory predicted by A.

In his hand, he held a specially made kunai. At the tip of the kunai, extremely dazzling, compressed wind-style chakra was concentrated.

High-pressure cutting!

"Sealing Technique: Limb Sealing!"

Minato placed his left hand on Ai's back.

Black runes instantly covered Ai's body.

"What?!"

Ai felt the flow of chakra within his body freeze instantly. It was a sealing technique specifically targeting the meridian nodes.

The lightning went out.

"it's over."

Minato's eyes were icy cold.

The specially made kunai in his right hand, carrying a high-pressure wind blade, pierced into Ai's neck.

A spurt of blood erupted.

The carotid artery was severed and the trachea was cut.

"Big brother!!!"

Killer Bee let out a heart-wrenching roar from afar.

Ai clutched her neck, staring at Minato in disbelief.

His vitality was rapidly fading away.

But he did not fall.

This man, known for his rage, unleashed his beastly instincts in the final moments of his life.

"Be buried with them!!!"

Ai roared, his blood-stained hand grabbing Minato's wrist.

His fingers dug into Shuimen's flesh like iron clamps, even crushing his wrist bones.

"Oh no!"

Minato's expression changed.

He wanted to activate the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave.

but----

The remaining Lightning Release chakra within A's body flowed down his arm and into Minato's body.

That was chaotic, violent electricity.

It acted like a disruptor, instantly disrupting the chakra flow frequency within Minato's body.

The Flying Thunder God Technique requires extremely precise chakra control.

Now, we've been disrupted. Even a one-second delay can be fatal.

Because the strongest monster has arrived.

"You bastard!!!"

The Third Raikage has broken through Jiraiya's obstruction.

He saw the blood gushing from his son's neck.

His anger caused his already terrifying chakra to surge once again.

"Hellfire Thrust - One-Shot Punch!"

This is his strongest ultimate technique.

Concentrate all your Lightning Release chakra on a single finger. You can pierce through even a Tailed Beast with a single finger.

"die!!!"

The Third Raikage's finger pierced towards the immobile Minato.

Minato stared at the finger that kept growing larger.

He couldn't break free from Ai's dying counterattack.

"Is this... the ending?"

Watergate has no fear.

In the final moments of his life, what flashed through his mind was neither the future of the ninja world nor the position of Hokage.

Instead, she had long red hair.

That's Kushina.

"I'm sorry—Kushina—"

puff!

That finger pierced through Minato's chest.

My heart was instantly crushed.

Together with Ai behind him, they were pinned together by the terrifying penetrating power of this finger.

Boom! ...

A massive burst of lightning engulfed the two of them.

"Watergate!!!"

Jiraiya let out a desperate roar.

On the battlefield, everyone was stunned.

The yellow flash of the leaves.

The future Raikage of Kumogakure.

In that instant, they perished together.

Sosuke stood at a distance, watching the burst of blood mist. His heart pounded violently.

This is war.

There is no protagonist's halo.

Genius or strength, in the face of the meat grinder, they are nothing more than meat.

History was completely rewritten at this moment.

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, died in the Third Shinobi World War.

The Fourth Raikage, A, also died here.

"retreat!"

Orochimaru's voice rang out.

If we don't run away from the berserk Third Raikage, everyone will die here today.

"Walk!"

Orochimaru arrived at the location of Sousuke and the other two, and pulled them underground.

With tears in his eyes, Jiraiya crawled into Bunta's mouth and escaped through reverse summoning.

Leaf.

Kushina Uzumaki is making breakfast at home.

She hummed a song as she fried eggs. Watergate should be back today, right?

"Smack."

The plate in my hand suddenly slipped and shattered.

Palpitations.

A feeling of panic welled up inside me.

"What's going on—"

Kushina clutched her chest, staring at the shards on the ground.

"Watergate————"

She had a bad feeling.
