"My final words: I and Jiraiya-sama will always be behind you!"

As Minato Namikaze swung his right hand down heavily, the Konoha ninja forces officially set off. Led by their respective captains, the ninjas of each battalion formed neat lines and sped toward their designated positions.

"A very good mobilization speech."

Jiraiya praised Minato Namikaze, then looked worried. "Minato, what do you think of your plan...?"

"Don't worry, teacher, I guarantee it will be foolproof."

"Okay, I'll go to the front lines first and wait for your good news with Ming. Remember not to keep me waiting too long."

"You won't have to wait long. This amazing gift will definitely surprise the Cloud Ninja Force!"

After watching Jiraiya leave, Minato Namikaze headed straight for Akira Hatake's tent.

Lifting the curtain, one could see Akira Hatake, who hadn't slept for two days and two nights, looking disheveled and bloodshot, his eyes making him appear ferocious and terrifying.

"bright……"

"Teacher," Akira Hatake looked up, "Does this mean I should head to Konoha?"

"Yes, but your current state..."

"Don't worry, teacher, I can go seven days and seven nights without sleep."

Akira Hatake stood up, walked to the washbasin in the tent, bent down, scooped up two handfuls of water, and washed his face as quickly as possible.

"Is it much better now?"

“Indeed…” Minato Namikaze nodded, “It’s good to be young.”

“You’re the same now.” Akira Hatake walked back to the table, took out a piece of paper, and handed it to Minato Namikaze.

"This is... another derivative ninjutsu of the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

“Yes, it was just developed.” A hint of pride flashed in Akira Hatake’s eyes. “This Flying Thunder God derivative ninjutsu is very powerful. I named it Flying Thunder God Cut.”

"This name isn't good; it lacks a certain power and something else..."

"stop!"

Akira Hatake quickly called a halt, "I haven't tested the Flying Thunder God Cutting ninjutsu yet. I've only completed the theoretical setup and developed a new Flying Thunder God technique adapted to this new technique."

"That's already very good..." Minato Namikaze praised sincerely, "Your achievements have already surpassed mine."

"Really? I think so too."

jump.

Seeing Hatake Akira's sullen face, Namikaze Minato flicked him on the forehead with a stern expression. "Hurry up and pack your things and return to Konoha according to the original plan. The situation at the front is quite critical right now."

"I understand, teacher."

Akira Hatake's expression turned solemn. He nodded seriously and then vanished in a flash, leaving only a scroll where he had just stood.

He reached out and caught the scroll that was spinning and falling through the air. After unfolding it, he found that it contained detailed information about the construction principles, hand seals, and usage scenarios of the Flying Thunder God Cut.

After watching it carefully twice, Minato Namikaze's eyes flashed with light!

Once you learn and can use this technique flexibly, the problem of insufficient attack power will be completely solved!

No defense can withstand the power of space for even a second!

Chapter 159 Kushina: It's time to pay the rent, Nine-Tails! (Seeking monthly votes!)

As long as the Flying Thunder God Technique's mark is left along the way, the phrase "arriving in an instant" is insufficient to describe the Flying Thunder God Technique's speed of travel.

His own strength has grown, coupled with the attributes and passives provided by various equipment, as well as the life energy that Hatake Akira has gained using the Book of Devouring Gods over the past two months, resulting in his current massive amount of chakra.

If we had to find a point of reference, at this moment, Akira Hatake's total chakra was equivalent to 1.5 Kisame Hoshigaki and 300 Kakashi Sharingan.

With such a massive amount of chakra, Akira Hatake was able to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to instantly travel from the northeastern border of the Land of Fire back to Konoha.

However, the spatial movement distance of nearly 400 kilometers still caused Akira Hatake to consume one-third of his chakra in one go.

Furthermore, the pressure exerted on his body during spatial travel caused Akira Hatake to feel nauseous and dizzy upon landing.

Although it didn't warrant kneeling down and vomiting, the feeling was still unpleasant.

"They're all covered in dust..."

After a while, Akira Hatake felt better, but his sharp eyes still noticed a layer of dust on the floor.

Since the outbreak of the Third Shinobi World War, the Hatake residence has been uninhabited for more than two months, so it's normal for the house to be covered in a layer of dust.

"Father is really something, is he really going to stay in the hospital and not come out?"

Akira Hatake muttered a complaint, made a mental note that he would have to come over and clean up later, and then pushed open the door and went out.

Walking slowly down the street, the sparse crowd gave Akira Hatake a sense of things being different now.

The war had a significant impact on Konoha.

I didn't run into any acquaintances on the street. After all, Konoha is currently weak, and almost all the ninjas who can fight have been sent to the battlefield.

Even if some ninjas remain in Konoha, their numbers can't be much more.

Walking and looking around, Akira Hatake soon arrived at the Hokage Building.

Looking up at the plaque hanging on the building, Akira Hatake went inside.

Upon entering, the ninja mission hall on the first floor was deserted, and even the mission-assigning ninjas who were familiar with Akira Hatake were nowhere to be seen.

"They've all gone to the battlefield..."

Akira Hatake sighed, then walked straight upstairs.

knock knock knock.

Outside the Hokage's office, Akira Hatake knocked on the door.

"Enter!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's slightly weary voice came from the Hokage's office.

"Sandaime-sama Hokage!"

"Akira Hatake?" Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat surprised to see Akira Hatake enter. "Jiraiya asked me for help earlier, so why are you back all of a sudden?"

"It's because of a battle plan."

Akira Hatake made no attempt to be polite with Hiruzen Sarutobi; he went straight to the point, “This is an ultimate operational plan against the Cloud Ninja Force, approved by Jiraiya-sama, formulated by Minato-sensei, and executed by me.”

"The principle is to use the teleportation barrier of the Flying Thunder God Technique to send the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball to the front line, and then Minato-sensei, who is at the front line, determines the landing point of the Tailed Beast Ball, thereby causing a devastating blow to the Cloud Ninja forces!"

"This……"

Such a wildly imaginative idea left Hiruzen Sarutobi completely stunned.

Can the Flying Thunder God Technique be used like this?

When did the Tailed Beast Ball become a long-range precision strategic weapon?

It's important to know that the straight-line distance from Konoha Village to the northeastern border of the Land of Fire is 400 kilometers!

Using the Flying Thunder God Technique to transfer a Tailed Beast Ball, how much chakra and how exquisite the coordination would be to accomplish this feat?

A series of question marks swirled in Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind, and unconsciously, he lit the pipe he was holding in his mouth.

"Akira, you and Minato have given me a tough problem!"

"Do you think it's impossible, or do you think... we can't use the Nine-Tails' power?" Akira Hatake asked.

"This..." Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated for a moment, but finally revealed the truth, "I was thinking about what if we fail..."

"This can't possibly fail," Hatake Akira said casually, then handed a document signed by Jiraiya to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"This is a report that Jiraiya asked me to deliver. I think you should take a look at it."

"Ah."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took the document from Akira Hatake and, without stopping puffing on his pipe, quickly read through the document to the end.

"Although it is still unbelievable, judging from the contents of Jiraiya's report, the success rate of your idea is quite high."

After putting down the documents, Hiruzen Sarutobi closed his eyes and thought for a while.

"In that case, let's give it a try, after all, the pressure on the front lines is immense."

"However, for the safety of Konoha, I still need to test it."

Hiruzen Sarutobi considered many things, but that doesn't mean he was short-sighted. It just means that Hiruzen Sarutobi was very prudent in dealing with the Nine-Tails.

Kushina Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, was Konoha's last line of defense.

Considering the perilous situation in the Land of Fire, Kushina Uzumaki should have been sent to the front lines long ago.

However, with the Land of Fire simultaneously under attack from the other four great nations, deciding which battlefield to send Kushina to became a major problem.

Moreover, as a "nuclear deterrent," the Nine-Tailed Fox, once activated, would have far-reaching consequences.

The reason why this kind of deterrence is so fearful is because it has never been used before.

Once used, the Nine-Tails can only protect one side, while the remaining three sides will be left unattended and will immediately launch a general offensive against the Land of Fire.

After weighing the pros and cons, not sending the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina Uzumaki, to the battlefield became the most appropriate course of action.

However, the idea proposed by Minato Namikaze directly broke the restrictions on Konoha's use of the Nine-Tails' power.

If Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake cooperate well, then theoretically, the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball could simultaneously cover all four battlefields in the Land of Fire.

Once this idea is realized, the turning point of the Third Shinobi World War will arrive sooner than expected.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's idea for testing was, of course, to ensure that nothing went wrong.

As we all know, the Nine-Tails is the most powerful of the nine tailed beasts in the ninja world. Or rather, there are only two kinds of tailed beasts: the Nine-Tails and the other tailed beasts.

This demonstrates just how powerful the Nine-Tails truly is.

With such a powerful Nine-Tails, the power of its Tailed Beast Ball would be devastating. If a mistake were to cause the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball to land in the village, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"How would you like to test it?" Akira Hatake tilted his head.

"Since you're confident you can deliver the Tailed Beast Ball to the front lines, sending some less powerful ninjutsu there shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Of course, that's not a problem." Akira Hatake answered without hesitation, then stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi with great curiosity. "Third Hokage, are you planning to test it yourself?"
