Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 101 Obito, stunned by the beating

"Hiss... what would happen if this landed in a village?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi gasped, deeply shaken, but as a Hokage who had held the position for many years, he quickly regained his composure.

"Everyone, help me push the Nine-Tails out of the village."

As he spoke loudly, Hiruzen Sarutobi bit his thumb, formed hand seals, and used the Crimson Technique to summon the Monkey King, Enma.

The Ape Demon is the king of the ape clan. Although he appears small in size, his strength is far greater than that of large summoned beasts like the Ten Thousand Snakes. He can also transform into the indestructible Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel).

Many Konoha ninjas, who were slightly stunned by the terrifying power of the Tailed Beast Ball, came to their senses and began to use various ninjutsu to restrain the Nine-Tails.

The other ninjas who weren't stunned also joined in the attack, and in an instant, various ninjutsu formed a dazzling "rain of fire," causing the Nine-Tails to roar repeatedly and become extremely agitated.

Hiruzen Sarutobi seized the opportunity and, wielding his pillar-thick Ruyi Jingu Bang, thrust it directly into the Nine-Tails' abdomen.

As the Ruyi Jingu Bang continued to extend, the ape demon unleashed its full power, forcing the enormous nine-tailed fox to retreat repeatedly and slide on the ground.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's combat awareness is naturally very strong. The direction he chose was unobstructed by houses or trees, and was flat and open, which would allow him to push Kurama as far as possible.

However, the Nine-Tails was simply too big. After gliding for a while, it stabilized itself and barely crossed the edge of Konoha Village. With the Nine-Tails' size, it could have stepped into the village in one step.

With a single claw strike, the Nine-Tailed Fox knocked away the Vajra Staff that was pressed against its abdomen, and the immense force sent Hiruzen Sarutobi flying as well.

The nearby ANBU members quickly jumped up to catch Hiruzen Sarutobi. It took six ANBU members to catch him, as the first five were sent flying by the enormous impact.

Roar!

The Nine-Tails was furious. It puffed out its chest, raised its head, and opened its mouth. A large amount of Yin and Yang chakra gathered in the void and transformed into a giant Tailed Beast Ball.

At this moment, due to the great distance, no one was able to interrupt Nine-Tails' attack or change its trajectory.

Many Konoha ninjas felt despair upon seeing this, but the next moment, a heavy Tailed Beast Ball shot out from the sky...

To the Konoha ninjas' relief, the Tailed Beast Ball did not target them; to their despair, however, it struck the Hokage Rock, the symbol of Konoha.

If the Hokage Rock were destroyed, it would undoubtedly be a severe blow to the morale of the Konoha ninja.

The effect would be similar to the fall of a crucial military stronghold in a country, and would also cause Konoha to lose face in the ninja world.

What right does a village that is the number one ninja village in the ninja world have to be called the number one ninja village if it can't even protect its own symbol?

This is utterly shameful!

At this critical moment, Minato Namikaze flashed onto his Hokage Rock, formed hand seals, and unleashed a torrent of chakra, causing mysterious black patterns in the void to spread out like a spider web.

The enormous purple Tailed Beast Ball touched the spider web but did not explode; it was like a stone falling into a swamp and being swallowed up.

boom!

A muffled sound came from the dark sky in the distance, and a blazing white light shot into the sky. This time, due to the great distance, the shockwave did not reach Konoha Village.

Obito appeared from the void vortex to launch a sneak attack, but Minato Namikaze noticed the spatial fluctuations in time and used a specially made kunai, the Flying Thunder God Technique, to stab him.

With his head about to be pierced, Obito had no choice but to enter the Kamui dimension, where the kunai pierced through him.

Obito then grabbed Minato's arm, which was holding a kunai, and activated his Kamui ability, creating a spatial vortex that twisted Minato's figure along with the distorted space.

At the critical moment, Minato activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and instantly disappeared from the spot.

Obito muttered to himself and followed the spatial fluctuations.

At the same time, taking advantage of the opening in the attack, all the Konoha ninja rushed towards the Nine-Tails.

A proper Tailed Beast Ball is a powerful weapon, and even the complete Nine-Tails cannot use it at any time; it requires a certain amount of time to accumulate chakra.

Meanwhile, in a wooden house on the outskirts of Konoha Village, Obito and Minato Namikaze began a brief but extremely dangerous battle.

This battle was even shorter than the one in the original story because Minato Namikaze already knew about Obito's situation beforehand.

Therefore, the initial probing was no longer necessary.

In a single exchange, Obito was slammed to the ground by Minato Namikaze's Flying God Thunder Second Stage Combo Giant Rasengan. A powerful gust of wind swept through, dust billowed, and mud and rocks spread in all directions like waves.

Obito was completely stunned by the attack, even ignoring the excruciating pain in his body.

Is it really that easy for my abilities to be seen through?

Why did you knock me down in just one move?

Have all my hard work and cultivation been in vain?

Obito was filled with questions, so shocked that he questioned his existence, and a strong sense of crisis enveloped his heart.

Once he regained his senses, Obito, before his arm was broken, endured the excruciating pain and formed the three seals of Mao, Hai, and Wei with both hands.

Amidst billowing smoke and dust, Obito Uchiha emerged from the dust and landed on a protruding stone figure on the grass, his right arm clutching his left staff, white liquid trickling from his sleeve down his arm...

Seeing that his enemy, who had survived a Giant Rasengan attack and seemed quite energetic, Minato Namikaze remained outwardly calm but inwardly was extremely shocked.

His Great Rasengan would shatter steel if it landed on it, but when it landed on this person, it only resulted in a minor injury.

Recalling the mysterious intelligence that the enemy also possessed Wood Release, Minato Namikaze completely believed it; only Wood Release could have such powerful vitality and regenerative abilities.

It's clear that Minato Namikaze understood the value of Wood Release.

While busy with Hokage affairs and family matters, Minato also took time to learn about some of Konoha's secret files.

With this thought in mind, Minato Namikaze made his decision.

"As expected of the Yellow Flash, it can last so long..."

Before Obito could finish speaking, trying to appear calm, Minato Namikaze suddenly appeared using the Flying Thunder Mark left on Obito's back. He grabbed Obito's neck tightly with his left hand and used the Contract Seal with his right.

Obito is now materialized, and with his neck gripped, he is unable to use Kamui. His face beneath the mask quickly turns red.

Obito sensed something was wrong, not because he was worried about his own life, but because he was afraid that Minato would remove his mask.

It wasn't that Obito felt ashamed to face Minato, but rather that he felt too embarrassed to show his face after such a crushing defeat.

Obito's worries were completely unnecessary. Minato had no intention of removing Obito's mask at all; he just wanted to send him to his death as soon as possible.

Minato conjured a Flying Thunder God kunai in his right hand, blue chakra emanating from it. He then pierced through the mask, through the forehead bone, and into the brain with a backhand motion.

The next moment, Obito in Minato's hand suddenly disappeared, as if a bubble had burst.

"Luckily I was cautious, otherwise I would really be dead at your hands."

At the top of a tree canopy at the edge of the grassland, Obito Uchiha appeared. The moment he appeared, he activated Kamui, and as soon as he finished speaking, a spatial vortex completely sucked Obito in.

Because of the Flying Thunder God mark, Obito dared not stay any longer and immediately ran away.

Minato Namikaze looked grave as he watched the enemy vanish after coming back from the dead.

An enemy that is invincible, powerful, elusive, and decisively retreats when things seem hopeless is truly terrifying.

Who exactly is this person?

Madara Uchiha?

No, Madara Uchiha died long ago.

Could it be a descendant of Madara Uchiha left behind in the ninja world?

And what kind of ninjutsu is this that allows one to be resurrected from the dead?
