Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 284 Post-War

"Minato Namikaze, could he be one of your Konoha village's experimental subjects?"

The fourth Raikage candidate asked in a cold voice.

As expected, Konoha Village is no good. They've combined the power of the Uchiha and Senju clans so successfully; I wonder how many test subjects have died in Konoha.

Then, the candidate for the Fourth Raikage curiously pressed on, asking, "How did you manage to combine the powers of the Uchiha and Senju clans?"

Minato glanced in Chiga's direction and saw that after Chiga used Wood Release, the battle had become one-sided.

Then he shook his head and said to the Fourth Raikage candidate, "Chiga is just an Uchiha clansman; no experiments have been conducted on him!"

He was actually quite puzzled. Did Chiga really have Hashirama's cells transplanted?

After all, Minato knew that Chika had spent some time with Orochimaru, and Orochimaru was a freakish scientist who must have studied Hashirama's cells.

There's no need to tell a potential Fourth Raikage about such speculation.

"Then how do you explain that he knows Wood Release? That's a bloodline limit only Hashirama Senju possessed!"

The candidate for the Fourth Raikage looked at Minato with an expression that suggested he was being teased, seemingly convinced that Uchiha Chika had received Hashirama Senju's cells.

The Land of Lightning is a country that reveres strength and is also very aggressive. More than 90% of its ninjas are martial arts practitioners, and the country has always wanted to bring the entire ninja world under its control.

Therefore, they are very eager for the bloodline limits of each country.

They would occasionally send out secret agents to plunder the bloodline limits of various countries.

And Wood Release, a unique and powerful bloodline limit, was naturally also within their purview.

Back then, after Hashirama Senju died, they felt that an opportunity had come, and even devised a plan for it.

That was to steal Hashirama Senju's cells, study them to understand the secrets of Wood Release, then conduct human experiments to transplant Wood Release, and finally successfully obtain Wood Release.

Then, by leveraging this powerful bloodline limit, we will annihilate the four great nations and unify the ninja world!

This wonderful plan was unanimously approved by the high-ranking officials of the Hidden Cloud Village, and was even implemented for many years.

At that time, they were just one step away from realizing this perfect plan: obtaining Hashirama Senju's cells.

Damn it, we in the Hidden Cloud Village are still stuck at the first step, while your Hidden Leaf Village already has such a perfect experimental subject, and one who has combined the power of the Sharingan.

This moment immediately aroused jealousy in the candidate for the Fourth Raikage.

If the powers of the Asura of the Ninja World and the God of Ninjas simultaneously appear in a young boy, will there still be room for us Cloud Ninjas to live?

As for Uchiha Chika, the candidate for the Fourth Raikage, he also knew about her.

Judging from this young man's character, he is not like Hashirama Senju back then, who valued peace above all else.

Uchiha Chika is terrifyingly powerful; he must not be allowed to live!

Thinking this, the candidate for Fourth Raikage glanced at Minato Namikaze, then said meaningfully, "Minato-sama, after this battle, perhaps you, as the candidate for Fourth Hokage, will never be able to ascend to the position of Fourth Hokage again! After all, it will still be several years before you, the Third Hokage, retire, and with this young man's talent and achievements, he will have already surpassed you by then!"

Upon hearing this, Minato glanced at the candidate for the Fourth Raikage with great surprise.

I never expected that a rough guy like the Fourth Raikage candidate would use such petty tricks as sowing discord against him.

"Lord Ai, using such low tactics to sow discord between me and Chiga is hardly the act of a Shadow!"

Minato originally admired the Fourth Raikage, a rough and tough guy. After all, they were both candidates for the next Kage and both were ninjas known for their speed, so they probably had something in common in that regard.

Minato didn't bother to say anything more to the Fourth Raikage candidate, grabbed a kunai and attacked.

Chiga's side.

When the Four-Tails Jinchuriki saw that his Tailed Beast Ball was easily pushed away by the Arhat Wood Golem, he realized that the Tailed Beast Ball had no effect.

Seeing the wooden Arhat figure still walking towards it, it couldn't help but take a step back.

Even a tailed beast could not resist the overwhelming aura emanating from the hundred-meter-tall Arhat wooden figure!

"Damn it, I am the Handsome Monkey King of the Water Curtain Cave, the King of Immortal Apes: Sun Wukong! Roar—"

But the four-tailed Goku thought that he was known for his superhuman strength among the tailed beasts, so he shouldn't be afraid of close combat.

And I can use the Melt Release technique.

This thing is just a slightly larger lump of wood, just firewood for molten metal!

Burn the hell out of here!

Thinking this, the four-tailed Son Goku immediately braced himself on his limbs.

The ground around the four-tailed Son Goku turned into a sea of ​​lava.

Lava Release: Flower Fruit Mountain!

Dark red magma gushed out amidst billowing black smoke, its thunderous roar pressing down on all sides.

The power of the Flower Fruit Mountain unleashed by the Four-Tails Son Goku reached an unbelievable level, completely different from Old Purple's Lava Release: Flower Fruit Mountain.

The dark red sea of ​​lava around it erupted like a volcano, shooting upwards and engulfing the Arhat wooden figure in a mere instant.

"roar--"

Seeing that his Lava Release: Flower Fruit Mountain had hit Chika, the Four-Tails Son Goku felt victory was in sight and immediately let out an excited roar.

However, the next second.

Bang!

Amidst the gushing lava, a gigantic fist emitting white smoke suddenly appeared and slammed directly into the face of the Four-Tailed Goku.

That unparalleled power even deformed the face of the Four-Tails Son Goku.

The lava remaining on the wooden Arhat figure was still dripping downwards, and most of the wooden body was charred, with black smoke billowing from it and a foul burnt smell emanating from it.

They looked disheveled, but were generally alright.

"How is that possible!"

Four-tailed Fox fell to the ground, staring in shock at the Arhat Woodman. Disbelief appeared on its ugly face, unable to believe that the Arhat Woodman could remain unharmed in such a high temperature.

Bang!

The only response it received was the wooden Arhat figure's fist, as always.

With one punch, the four-tailed Goku felt the pain, staggered back a few steps, and then fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chiga stepped forward and stomped on the chest of the four-tailed Son Goku.

"roar--"

The four-tailed Goku seemed to want to struggle a bit more, but the Arhat wooden figure stomped on him again, completely preventing the four-tailed Goku from getting up.

"Roar—roar—"

The four-tailed Son Goku roared at Chiga, and with this kick, he not only trampled him underfoot, but also crushed the dignity of the tailed beast.

[Negative emotions from the Four-Tailed Goku, emotion value +99!]

Chika picked at her ear. Her skills weren't great, but she had quite a temper!

The wooden Arhat bent down, looking down at the Four-Tailed Goku with its face close, and then its huge fist slammed directly into the Four-Tailed Goku's cheek.

"roar--"

The four-tailed Son Goku was still not convinced!

Chiga didn't give in either, and threw another punch.

"Roar~"

After three punches, the voice of the four-tailed Goku gradually faded and eventually stopped roaring.

"Tch, I thought it would be some tough bone, but it's just like this. What a waste of that name!"

Chika scoffed, "He really is the least impressive Sun Wukong ever!"

The four-tailed Son Goku didn't refute, but just looked at Chiga with a wronged expression.

It seemed to understand why, after controlling the Two-Tailed Matatabi, Chiga didn't finish off the Two-Tailed Matatabi in one fell swoop, but instead came looking for trouble with itself.

This name was given by the Sage of Six Paths. If you're so capable, go find him!

Why are you hitting me so hard?

Having suffered countless grievances, the four-tailed Goku dared not say anything more. Then, his enormous body began to shrink gradually and eventually dissipated, returning to Rōshi's body.

It seems she's gone back to the sealed space to cry.

Chiga also managed to retract the wooden figure's foot in time, preventing him from stomping on Old Purple.

At this time, the Wood Dragon had already drained the Two-Tails Matatabi's chakra, and the Two-Tails Matatabi had also returned to the Jinchūriki's body.

Chiga then jumped out of the cockpit, tied Rōshi and the two Yukito together, and then cast a sealing spell on each of them.

After finishing this, he boarded the wooden dummy again and headed to the battlefield of the Three-Tailed Isobu.

With the wooden Arhat figure as a means of transportation, Chiga arrived at the battlefield in no time.

At this moment, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki was still happily playing with the Three-Tails Isobu, and with the endless steam, he didn't even notice the Arhat Wood Golem coming over.

They were probably too caught up in the action and used a lot of Boil Release techniques, which caused the entire battlefield to be enveloped in steam, making visibility extremely poor.

In addition, the commotion was so great that the Five-Tails Jinchuriki did not notice the Arhat Wood Man approaching.

When he realized something was wrong, he only felt a shadow flash over his head, and then a huge hand grabbed him.

Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, struggled for a moment but found he couldn't break free from the giant hand of the Arhat Wood Golem. At the same time, he felt his chakra rapidly draining away. His expression changed drastically, and he roared angrily:

"Damn it, Five-Tails, help me!"

Five-Tailed King Kokuou: "."

Those who know when to yield are the wise ones. The five-tailed Mu King inside its body probably didn't want to be beaten up like the four-tailed Sun Wukong, so it simply shrank back inside and didn't dare to utter a sound.

After draining Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Chiga used another sealing technique, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, all three of them were dealt with.

"Chiga!"

"Are you alright?"

Seeing that the fighting had stopped, Akimichi Choza and Inuzuka Jacques ran over.

"I'm fine. You can keep an eye on these three. I'm going to Minato-senpai's side to provide support."

Upon hearing this, Chiga gave the two instructions before running off to the battlefield at Minato.

Akimichi Choza and Inuzuka Jacques were even more shocked to see Chiga fight three Jinchuriki and still be able to run off to support Captain Minato.

"Defeating three Jinchūriki single-handedly, Chiga is getting more and more monstrous!"

"I'm looking at Chiga's back," said Akimichi Choza.

"Should we call him 'sir' now?"

"If it weren't for his age, I'd want to add 'Hokage' before 'adult'!"

Chiga, of course, did not hear the conversation between Akimichi Choza and Inuzuka Jacques. He had only run over a short while when he suddenly noticed a figure running towards him.

"Minato-senpai? You won?"

Chiga was taken aback. The figure in front of him gradually became clear, and it was none other than Minato Namikaze.

At this moment, Minato's green leather armor was tattered and battered, but on his shoulder, Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki wearing sunglasses, was lying quietly.

"The AB duo lives up to their name. If you hadn't already won your battle and made them lose their will to fight, I might not have been able to find a weakness!"

"However, the Fourth Raikage candidate still managed to escape."

Minato explained that, in the end, the AB duo realized that if they continued to entangle with Minato, neither of them would be able to leave.

So, under the cover of Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, the candidate for Fourth Raikage escaped, but Killer Bee was not so lucky.

Minato is also skilled in sealing techniques, and he severed the connection between Killer Bee and the Eight-Tails Gyūki during the battle.

Unable to borrow the Eight-Tails' chakra, Killer Bee was no match for Minato on his own and was quickly bound by him.

"After this battle, it's uncertain whether he, as a candidate for the Fourth Raikage, can still ascend to the position of Fourth Raikage."

Chiga replied with a smile.

Minato smiled and did not refute, but simply joined Chiga and Akimichi Choza.

Minato placed Killer Bee on the ground beside his shoulder, looked at the four Jinchūriki, and let out a heavy sigh.

"The war is about to end!"

Then, Minato turned his head and gave Chiga and the other two a bright smile.

With these four people around, it's enough to make the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning surrender unconditionally.

After all, their own nuclear weapons are in the enemy's hands, so what's the point of fighting?

"Yes, it's finally coming to an end!"

Akimichi Choza also sighed, thinking that a decisive battle with the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning would determine the course of the war.

But unexpectedly, their team, which was originally just there to help Minato gain reputation, actually achieved such a feat.

Although this record has nothing to do with him, it's enough for him to brag about when he gets back.

The four did not rest there. With Chika and Minato taking turns using the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato's team quickly returned to the command post at the Konoha front.

"Chika, are you really not coming back with us?"

Minato urged him to stay, saying, "You deserve the most credit for bringing back four Jinchuriki this time. Without you, how could we accept the Third Hokage's reward?"

"No way, reputation doesn't matter, as long as the money is right. The Third Hokage is quite generous with that."

Chiga waved dismissively. Seeing that Minato seemed to want to pull her back, Chiga continued, "Minato-senpai, you should have already met Nagato and the other two, right?"

"Yes, I've already learned about what happened to the three of them from Jiraiya-sensei."

Upon hearing this, Minato's face also turned solemn, and he asked seriously, "Are you going to find Madara Uchiha's hiding place?"

"Yes, I strongly suspect this old guy is the mastermind behind the Third Shinobi World War, so we can't let our guard down until we kill him!"

Chiga nodded.

"Madara Uchiha is no ordinary person. Do you need me to come with you?"

"No need. The old man's on his last breath; I refuse to believe he can cause any more trouble!"

Chiga said confidently.
