"Yes, I can only feel at ease after experiencing it firsthand."

"Then you'd better be mentally prepared," Akira Hatake reminded him.

"Prepare? What preparations?"

“I’m worried that with your current physical condition, using the Flying Thunder God Technique for long-distance travel will cause you serious aftereffects.”

Akira Hatake's words were not unfounded. As a user and the one who actually performed the technique, Akira Hatake knew better than anyone just how severe the burden that the Flying Thunder God Technique placed on the human body was.

Given Hiruzen Sarutobi's current physical condition, "being dizzy and flying like a thunder god" is almost inevitable.

"You mean this... I know what it means."

After hesitating for two seconds, Hiruzen Sarutobi still insisted on testing it himself.

"I understand." Akira Hatake didn't try to persuade him further. "So, when do we begin?"

"Let's go to Kushina's place first, explain the situation to her, and then set a specific time."

“It’s not impossible.” Akira Hatake naturally had no objection, but he still had to say what needed to be said, “But Third Hokage, you need to hurry.”

"what happened?"

"Because before I arrived, a force of 1.5 Cloud Ninja led by the Third Raikage had already approached our northeastern defense line."

"What?! 1.5!!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi shuddered, nearly dropping the pipe he was smoking onto the table.

“Yes, 1.5.” Akira Hatake repeated, “Because of the time-sensitive nature of intelligence transmission, you may not have received the news yet, but that is the fact.”

"Let's act quickly without delay."

Realizing that the matter was urgent, Hiruzen Sarutobi grabbed the Hokage hat from his desk, put it on, and rushed to Kushina Uzumaki's residence with Akira Hatake.

……

"What? You want me to transform into a tailed beast, and right here in the village?"

In the small apartment where Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki lived together, Kushina Uzumaki, with her fiery red hair, shook her head like a rattle drum.

"No, no, this is too dangerous."

"Master's wife, you should trust Master's words..."

"Trust is one thing, but what if something goes wrong..." Kushina Uzumaki was still hesitant.

“There’s no possibility of anything going wrong!” Akira Hatake said firmly. “Before discussing this matter with you, the Third Hokage had already personally experienced the feasibility of doing so.”

"Hmm? The Third Hokage?" Kushina Uzumaki looked around. "I haven't seen him..."

"Ahem, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Before she arrived, her voice preceded her. Kushina had just finished speaking when Hiruzen Sarutobi responded immediately, pushing open the door and walking in with somewhat unsteady steps.

Indeed, as Akira Hatake said, before coming to find Kushina Uzumaki, Hiruzen Sarutobi, just to be on the safe side, personally experienced Akira Hatake's Flying Thunder God Guided Lightning.

The symptom of "dizziness from the Flying Thunder God Technique" proved Akira Hatake right. Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had traveled 800 kilometers using the Flying Thunder God Technique, had just vomited quite badly.

Moreover, in order to hide his embarrassing situation from Kushina Uzumaki, Hiruzen Sarutobi lingered outside the door for quite a while before finally coming in when he had no other choice.

"You...agree as well?"

“I agree to this.” Hiruzen Sarutobi’s mouth still tasted a little sour. “The situation on the front lines is critical, and you can’t just go to the battlefield. This is the only way now.”

"Then... let's give it a try?"

With Hiruzen Sarutobi's approval, Kushina Uzumaki felt relieved and immediately showed some eagerness to try.

Given Kushina Uzumaki's fiery temper and her strong bond with Minato Namikaze, the transformation into a tailed beast wasn't too difficult for her to accept.

Kushina Uzumaki was willing to do anything that could help Konoha and Minato Namikaze.

Furthermore, Kushina Uzumaki's identity as a member of the Uzumaki clan, coupled with her deeply ingrained sealing abilities, allowed her to easily control the Nine-Tails.

These two prerequisites combined became a major reason for Kushina Uzumaki's behavior.

……

Outside Konoha Village, the three walked side by side.

"Let's do it here. It's quite far from the village, so the impact on the village after the tailed beast transformation is almost zero."

After feeling that it was about time, Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped and turned to Kushina Uzumaki.

“Okay!” Kushina Uzumaki nodded. “You guys step back a bit. I’m worried that I might hurt you when I transform into a tailed beast.”

After giving the two a few instructions, seeing that Akira Hatake and Hiruzen Sarutobi were far away, Kushina Uzumaki immediately connected with the Nine-Tails within her body.

"Nine-Tails, may I borrow your power?"

"You wretched woman, don't even think about it!"

"That's not up to you, Nine-Tails!"

In the mental space, Kushina Uzumaki smiled like a little devil, slapping the seal on the huge iron gate with one hand. With a slap and a pull, the power of the Nine-Tails was extracted.

Roar!

A deafening roar followed in reality, instantly putting Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had retreated far away, on edge.

"You better behave yourself, Nine-Tails!"

Kushina Uzumaki, who had mastered most of the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, was far superior to Naruto in subduing the Nine-Tails.

Soon, the Nine-Tails, which had been extremely agitated and trying to seize control of the body, quieted down, and a hint of humanity appeared in its huge, cold beast eyes.

After transforming into a tailed beast, Kushina Uzumaki maintained her rationality and suppressed the Nine-Tails' struggling consciousness.

Waving her nine orange tails that kept swaying behind her, Kushina Uzumaki, in her tailed beast form, signaled to Akira Hatake that she was ready.

"Master's wife, please wait a moment!"

Akira Hatake stepped forward, cupped his hands to his mouth, and roared at Kushina Uzumaki.

Roar.

The latter responded with a not-so-loud roar.

After receiving a response, Akira Hatake formed hand seals and communicated with the Flying Thunder God seal left on Minato Namikaze's side.

Chapter 160 Jiraiya VS. Third Raikage

Located on the northeastern border of the Land of Fire, within the territory of the Land of Hot Water.

"kill!"

"revenge!"

"Crush them!"

"Small Konoha unit ahead, prepare composite ninjutsu!"

Composite Ninjutsu: Fire Hurricane!

Composite Ninjutsu: Water and Electricity Torrent!

Composite Ninjutsu: A Super Breakthrough!

The sheer number of ninjas from Kumogakure was on full display at this moment.

When more than a hundred ninjas use the same type of ninjutsu simultaneously, their wind-style techniques combine to form a massive hurricane.

Then, the same number of Cloud Ninja released Fire Release ninjutsu at the same time. The combined flames merged into a sea of ​​fire, which burned even more fiercely with the help of Wind Release!

Its power was no less than that of the Great Fire Annihilation once used by Edo Tensei Madara. A massive wall of flames covered most of the battlefield and was controlled by a group of Cloud Ninjas as it charged towards a small group of Konoha ninjas.

Similarly, the combined Water Release and Lightning Release ninjutsu released by numerous Cloud Ninjas collided and combined, and the "Great River," carrying the impact of water and the paralyzing power of lightning, swept towards Konoha.

"Defense! Defense!"

Despite being outnumbered, Konoha didn't employ many fancy attack methods. Instead, everyone worked together to unleash a massive, complex Earth Release ninjutsu.

Composite Ninjutsu: Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!

Tall, sturdy earthen walls rose from the ground, instantly forming a thick defense similar to the Great Wall, blocking the attacks of the Cloud Village ninjas while also deflecting some flying kunai and shuriken.

boom!

In an instant, sand and gravel flew everywhere and flames shot into the sky. The turbulent water and lightning reflected each other, interspersed with the sparks from the explosions of the detonators.

The scene was extremely chaotic when the two ninja forces clashed, but no victor could be determined immediately.

"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"We have an overwhelming numerical advantage, let's charge in and get close to them!"

"Jonnin, get into position quickly and open a breach as fast as you can!"

"Don't conserve your chakra, crush them in one fell swoop!"

After the clash of large-scale combined ninjutsu between the two sides, the Cloud Ninja forces, which had an absolute numerical advantage, did not persist in exchanging ninjutsu, but instead chose to break into the Leaf Village forces and then use their numerical advantage to surround and kill them.

It must be said that as long as you have a numerical advantage, this tactic is undoubtedly the fastest and most unbeatable tactical method.

Especially when the Cloud Ninja Jonin became the tip of the blade and the Chunin became the edge, the Konoha ninja forces hiding behind the earthen wall were almost instantly pierced through.

Once the formation was breached, the rest became much simpler.

Interweave, divide, surround, target elimination...

The Konoha ninja, outnumbered, had no chance to escape or retreat and were quickly overwhelmed by the Cloud Ninja forces, which outnumbered them four to one.

Blood is the cheapest thing on the battlefield, and also the most common color.

Wow…

Most of them belong to Konoha ninjas, mixed with a small number of Kumogakure ninjas, and they have converged into a slowly flowing and spreading stream.

Pat, pat, pat!

A series of hurried footsteps pounded across the stream, splashing blood that soaked the trousers of the Hidden Cloud Village ninja.

Their faces were contorted with rage, their lips curled into a gleeful smile of revenge, and their eyes were bloodshot with excitement. They were certain that upon seeing the Konoha ninja, they would deliver a devastating blow to them immediately.

Ninja swords flashed, kunai thrust, shuriken flew everywhere...
