Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 55 A toad?
After a few minutes, Minato felt relieved when he saw the Three-Tails completely stop moving.

Fugaku succeeded.

"Minato, do we need to send the Three-Tails into battle?"

Looking at the Three-Tails, whose eye power had been expelled from him and was under his control, Fugaku closed his eyes tiredly and put away his Mangekyō.

From now on, as long as the Three-Tails and his Jinchuriki cannot break his illusion, they will be under his control.

"If I may." Minato nodded.

Controlling the village's tailed beasts can effectively undermine the morale of the Kirigakure, and even make some Kirigakure ninjas lose their will to fight, and Konoha's damage can also be reduced.

But if Fugaku couldn't hold on, he wouldn't force it.

Fugaku nodded, "No problem, the Mangekyō is very effective against the Tailed Beasts."

Hearing this, Minato's serious expression relaxed a little. He turned to look at Kushina, and saw that the Six-Tails had gradually transformed from a tailed beast into a human form. He was completely relieved.

In order to prevent the Three-Tails from rescuing the Six-Tails, he and Fugaku had just pinned the Three-Tails to a location far away from Kushina.

If it weren't for the battle with the tailed beasts, which flattened the surrounding woods, he wouldn't be able to see what was happening over there.

"Yu should be done with it too."

As he was thinking, Minato saw a familiar figure approaching from a distance.

It's Uchiha Pill.

"Pill, why are you alone?"

"Kakashi saw a figure leave directly. It seemed to be Obito. This is my shadow clone. I come to report to you."

"What did you say?" Minato's expression changed drastically, and he instantly appeared in front of Uchiha Yamaru, staring into his eyes, "Obito?"

"I have met him several times in the clan, so he must be right."

Hearing this, Minato's thoughts raced, he hoped this was true, yet he subconsciously denied this possibility.

Even if Obito was still alive, why would he appear on this battlefield?
Someone with a similar look, or is Kakashi under a genjutsu?

But the pill is also there, and ordinary illusions cannot pass the Sharingan.

"I understand. You..."

In the distance, Kushina, who had completed the seal, sensed a distinct malice. She turned her head and saw the figure in front of Minato, her pupils constricted.

"Minato, get out of the way, he's not a pill!"

Minato was stunned.

The next moment, blood splattered.

"Is it the same ability as Uzumaki Mito to sense malicious intent? The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki really is our nemesis."

Glancing at Kushina who was glaring with anger, White Zetsu turned into a pill and looked at Minato who was covering his arm.

So fast, should we say he is worthy of being the Yellow Flash of the Ninja World?

Kushina's reminder helped him avoid fatal injuries.

But...the seeds have been planted!

"Spore Technique!"

Under Minato's solemn gaze, the white substance began to increase in value on his body, absorbing his chakra to grow stronger.

And White Zetsu also returned to his original appearance, with only half of his face visible, and the other half had only rough textures.

"Nice to meet you, Fourth Hokage. I'm here to kill you."

Having said that, Bai Zetsu rushed towards him with a smile.

"Is this a technique that is different from ordinary transformation techniques and can transform perfectly?"

Minato calmly pressed his palm on the white substance that emerged from his body, dodging the attack of White Zetsu while continuously covering the white substance with sealing charms. With a snap, these unknown substances fell to the ground, but a considerable part of Minato's own chakra was also absorbed.

But Minato didn't care and just dealt with White Zetsu seriously.

When Fugaku saw this scene, he originally wanted to stand up and help, but his pupil power was severely depleted and he needed some time to recover. After discovering that the strength of this White Zetsu did not seem to be strong, he did not step forward.

Just like in the past when dealing with ordinary jonin, Minato easily overpowered this strange creature. After a Flying Thunder God transfer, he used the Rasengan to knock White Zetsu directly into the ground.

Both of this guy's skills are very strange, but he himself is very weak?
Surprised at White Zetsu's strength, Minato frowned visibly.

Could it be that he just wanted to launch a sneak attack using that special transformation technique?
Indeed, if Kushina hadn't reminded him, he might have been seriously injured because of Kakashi and Obito's distracted mind...but he shouldn't be so weak.

Seeing Minato's solemn expression, even facing the future of death, White Zetsu still smiled heartlessly: "I told you, I'm just a clone, do you want to go look for my real body? Hahaha."

Minato's pupils constricted and he subconsciously looked in the direction of Kushina.

Just now, Kushina saw through White Zetsu's disguise in advance. If the opponent's real target is not him, it is very likely that it is Kushina who can see through the opponent's ability!

But he didn't find any suspicious enemy in his field of vision.

There is nothing in the sky or on the ground. Could it be...

"Minato, under Fugaku!"

"I guessed... wrong, hahaha!"

As Minato turned his attention to his wife, Kushina's shout and the laughter of the White Zetsu clone were heard at the same time.

"Wooden Release, the art of cutting!"

A huge amount of sharp wood spread out from the ground and stabbed towards Fugaku's vital points all over his body.

Minato turned around and watched the scene with gritted teeth. He threw the Flying Thunder God Kunai towards Fugaku, but he knew that he might not be able to arrive in time.

Fugaku, whose pupil power has just been severely depleted, will die if faced with this attack at such close range!
He is late again...

Ok?
Minato looked at the small figure that appeared at his feet at some point and the technique he had already performed, and the uneasiness in his heart disappeared in vain.

Fugaku, who heard the reminder, barely summoned a bit of his eye power, but he didn't have time to use Susanoo to protect his whole body.

A sharp spike pierced his waist, and the real White Zetsu's head emerged from the ground, watching this scene, and was about to extend smaller branches from his body to pierce him all over his body.

Perhaps Minato and Kushina have a greater influence on future plans, but at this moment, after the collision of power with Madara's, Fugaku, who is difficult to defend against his sneak attack, is the best target of attack.

But at this moment, a small stream of water rushed from the direction of Minato and directly hit the sharp spike that pierced Fugaku. With the blessing of fairy chakra, it directly broke it and prevented Fugaku from being killed.

Minato's Flying Thunder God Kunai also arrived shortly afterwards, and the teleported Minato quickly took Fugaku away from White Zetsu.

"It failed."

Bai Zetsu had a smile on his face, as if he didn't care at all about the failure of his carefully planned attack. But before sinking to the ground, he looked deeply at the source of his failure.

A toad?
The Toad of Myoboku Mountain...

Are you satisfied with this answer, Lord Ban?
Minato looked warily at the ground where White Zetsu disappeared after leaving, his brows furrowed.

The earth escape technique that merged with the ground and was almost unnoticeable before the attack, the difficult-to-identify transformation technique, the strange spore ninjutsu, and...

Glancing at the spike that Fugaku had pulled out from his waist, Minato's face darkened.

The first generation's Wood Release.

This strange creature showed great strength and was capable of attacking and killing any ninja in Konoha.

If we don't have intelligence on the other side... No, even if we have intelligence on the other side, it won't be enough to guard against him.

This is a battlefield, and some means are restricted. If it were in real life, the abilities of the white creatures would be impossible to defend against.

No one will be on guard against everyone around them. That's too tiring and too difficult.
