Without the slightest hesitation, the eight-tailed Gyūki began waving its numerous octopus tentacles before the Flying Thunder God Kunai even landed, instantly knocking down many of them.
But this is not Minato Namikaze's ultimate goal; it is still a feint!
With a flash, Minato Namikaze transformed into a yellow flash and instantly arrived at the feet of the Eight-Tailed Gyūki, quickly circling the Gyūki with a Flying Thunder God Kunai.
Si—Chou—Yin!
Flying Thunder God Guides Thunder!
In an instant, the Flying Thunder God Barrier, which could transfer attacks and physical entities, was deployed. Just as the Eight-Tailed Gyūki and Killer Bee realized that something was wrong, the two of them vanished from the center of the battlefield.
After the Eight-Tails Gyūki was transferred away, the Nine-Tails chakra covering Minato Namikaze dimmed considerably, but what remained was enough for him.
"All troops, pursue!"
With a shout, Minato Namikaze took the lead, sensing the pre-prepared Flying Thunder God Technique seal, and in a flash, he blocked the retreating Cloud Ninja army.
Facing the overwhelming force of thousands of troops, Minato Namikaze showed no fear whatsoever.
He lightly patted the Flying Thunder God mark on his waist, then pinched the two ends of a Flying Thunder God kunai and held it horizontally in front of his chest again!
Chapter 163 The Sandaime Raikage died!
Hell Thrust - One-Shot Strike!
Lightning Release: Black Lightning: Black Spotted Strike!
The Third Raikage, in the midst of his charge, simultaneously used the Black Lightning Release technique he had developed, instantly forcing Jiraiya, who was locked in combat with him, to retreat.
While forcing Jiraiya to retreat, the Third Raikage withdrew from the battle in a few leaps and ran towards the main force of the Kumogakure ninjas without looking back.
But how could Jiraiya allow the Third Raikage to leave so peacefully?
Jiraiya had seen it clearly just now, and of course he knew why the Third Raikage was in such a hurry to retreat.
His prized disciple, Minato Namikaze, executed the tactics he had arranged before the battle perfectly, and by this time the main force of the Hidden Cloud Village ninja had already been defeated!
This is due to both human resources and the Nine-Tailed Beast Ball.
But no matter what, the Cloud Village ninja force, which had come with great momentum but returned in haste and defeat, was now doomed!
So what if our total strength is four times that of Konoha's?
Faced with the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, having more troops would only mean bombarding a few more Tailed Beast Balls.
You must know, this is a Tailed Beast Ball launched by the Nine-Tails!
As is well known, when the Sage of Six Paths dismembered and divided the Ten-Tails, he showed considerable favoritism towards the Nine-Tails, Kurama.
The chakra of just the Nine-Tails alone is equivalent to the total chakra of the other eight tailed beasts combined, so the difference is obvious.
The size, power, and frequency of the Tailed Beast Ball are naturally related to the total amount of chakra of the Tailed Beast.
The remaining seven tailed beasts often use the Tailed Beast Ball as their trump card, but Kurama (the Nine-Tails) can use it like Naruto's Rasengan, not only continuously but also in various creative ways.
It can be said that Minato Namikaze, who was working closely with Akira Hatake at this time, was a human-shaped Tailed Beast Ball transfer machine.
If Minato Namikaze has enough chakra, he could easily hold off a 1.5-strong ninja force from Kumogakure. Given time, it's not impossible for him to severely injure or even annihilate them.
So Jiraiya's main task now is to hold off the Third Raikage!
But since Jiraiya knew he had to hold off the Third Raikage, the Third Raikage naturally knew the seriousness of the problem.
The main problem facing the Hidden Cloud Village ninja forces right now is that there is no one who can restrain Minato Namikaze.
The Third Raikage saw it clearly just now: Killer Bee, who had just transformed into a tailed beast, suddenly disappeared. This was obviously Minato Namikaze's doing.
Without Killer Bee's threat to Konoha, Minato Namikaze will become even more unscrupulous.
Killer Bee has been teleported somewhere, and now the only one who can cause trouble for the Konoha ninjas is the Third Raikage.
Ignoring Jiraiya's relentless pursuit, the Third Raikage charged straight into the formation of the Konoha ninja force!
In just one exchange, the Third Raikage inflicted heavy casualties on the Konoha ninja.
Jiraiya's eyes widened in fury. "Everyone, scatter! Scatter!"
Even without Jiraiya shouting, the ninjas in the Konoha Ninja Force weren't stupid; they naturally knew to dodge.
Some highly skilled and daring Konoha Jonin even launched a series of counterattacks against the Third Raikage.
However, the result was not satisfactory. With the Lightning Release Armor protecting him and his extremely fast movement speed, the Third Raikage was unlikely to suffer much damage.
At this moment, the Third Raikage was like a tiger among sheep, quickly routing the Konoha ninja forces.
Even though only about a hundred Konoha ninjas died at the hands of the Third Raikage, the Third Raikage was still able to hold back the advance of the Konoha ninja forces single-handedly.
Jiraiya had few options against the Third Raikage, who was determined to escape and whose only aim was to stop him rather than fight.
Because Jiraiya's Sage Mode ended at this time, his speed returned to its previous level, and he was somewhat unable to keep up with the speed of the Third Raikage.
The number of ninja casualties on the Konoha side is still rising rapidly, and the Third Raikage is also feeling the physical exhaustion from the bottom of his heart.
However, the result was good. The Third Raikage successfully held back the Konoha ninja forces and also successfully lured back Minato Namikaze, who was continuously slaughtering the Cloud Ninja in the distance!
Thus, the Third Raikage's goal was finally achieved.
When his own ninjas are attacked by the enemy's top combat power, Minato Namikaze has no reason not to rush back.
This is a helpless situation, and one that we have no choice but to accept.
War is never a one-man affair. Even if Minato Namikaze used the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball to kill many Cloud Ninja in this battle, as long as the Konoha ninja suffered heavy losses, it can only be called a Pyrrhic victory, or even classified as a defeat.
Left with no other choice, Minato Namikaze had to abandon the opportunity to further expand his gains and come to help Jiraiya stop the Third Raikage's massacre of Konoha ninja.
To be fair, while the Third Raikage's actions bought the main force of the Kumogakure ninja time to retreat, they also put him in a desperate situation.
Jiraiya alone could hold him off, and with Minato Namikaze joining the fray, the Third Raikage was at a complete disadvantage.
Jiraiya was unable to stop the Third Raikage's massacre of Konoha ninjas because he couldn't keep up with the Third Raikage's speed, but Minato Namikaze was far faster than the Third Raikage.
Sa!
A yellow flash streaked across the sky as Minato Namikaze raised his Wind Release: Rasenshuriken and pressed it heavily against the Third Raikage's chest.
boom!
The massive shockwave from the explosion blasted the Third Raikage away. After a huge cloud of smoke cleared, the Third Raikage, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, stood up.
The Lightning Release Armor could previously withstand the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, but now that Minato Namikaze is covered by the Nine-Tails' chakra cloak, the power of the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken naturally increases dramatically.
Although the Lightning Release Armor did not shatter, the explosive power of the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken still injured the Third Raikage.
Pooh!
Spitting out a mouthful of thick, bloody phlegm, the Third Raikage straightened his posture.
Hell Thrust - One-Shot Strike!
The Third Raikage, transformed into lightning, charged towards Minato Namikaze, but Minato dodged it with a quick movement, and at the same time, he threw a Flying Thunder God kunai with his right hand.
If Akira Hatake were present, he would likely widen his eyes in surprise, because the Flying Thunder God mark engraved on this Flying Thunder God kunai is the mark of the newly improved Flying Thunder God technique he created before going to Konoha.
This Flying Thunder God mark is missing. Its main function is not to allow the user to use the Flying Thunder God technique to travel through space, but to allow space to cut through people or objects.
Because of the missing part, only half of the object can be teleported into the space using the Flying Thunder God Technique, while the remaining half will naturally break apart in the face of the power of the space.
No matter how hard an object is, it cannot escape the pulling and cutting forces of space, and its head and body will inevitably be separated.
Caught completely off guard, the Third Raikage shattered the Flying Thunder God Kunai with a single finger, but in return, his right wrist vanished instantly!
With a sudden frown, the Third Raikage slammed on the brakes and pulled his arm back as fast as he could.
Even so, the invisible and intangible spatial rift still silently swallowed half of the Third Raikage's arm.
Meanwhile, Minato Namikaze, who had dodged, took advantage of this brief moment to restart, striking the Third Raikage on the back with a single slap, leaving a fragmented Flying Thunder God Technique seal on his Lightning Release Armor.
A sense of danger exactly the same as before enveloped the Third Raikage, and he reacted the instant Minato Namikaze activated the Flying Thunder God Cut.
He removed his Lightning Release Armor, then suddenly ducked and lunged forward, narrowly avoiding the newly formed spatial rift.
However, after the Lightning Release Armor was removed, the Third Raikage's strongest defense, on which he relied for survival, naturally became ineffective, giving Jiraiya an excellent opportunity to attack!
Rasengan!
In such a fleeting opportunity, the instantaneous Rasengan without hand seals became the first choice. Jiraiya held up the azure Rasengan in his hand and pressed it hard against the Third Raikage's chest.
only……
The Third Raikage narrowly avoided the attack, while Jiraiya's attack inadvertently headed towards Minato Namikaze.
Jiraiya was slightly taken aback, then his eyes showed a hint of panic. He hadn't expected to cause such a blunder in his lifetime.
Minato Namikaze remained calm. A flash of yellow light appeared, and as he reached out and patted the Third Raikage on the shoulder, he teleported him back to where he had just been.
The Flying Thunder God Technique: Mutual Instant Reversal Technique, a variant of the Flying Thunder God Technique's lightning guidance, not only instantly smoothed over the farcical incident caused by Jiraiya, but also delivered the meat into Jiraiya's mouth.
boom!
Without missing a beat, the azure Rasengan exploded in the Third Raikage's chest, tearing away a large chunk of flesh and blood, while sending him flying backward once more.
Moreover, as he was sent flying backward, a cold glint flashed in Minato Namikaze's eyes, and he used the Flying Thunder God Cutting Technique once again!
There was no extra movement; everything seemed silent.
There was no unusual light; it was just as ordinary as if nothing had happened.
Strangely, the Third Raikage coughed up blood while in mid-air, and the part of his body that slanted downwards from his shoulder instantly disappeared into the air.
Blood flew everywhere, creating a bloody scene in the air.
thump.
With a thud, the Third Raikage's severed body crashed to the ground, blood slowly flowing down his unconsciously opening and closing jawline to his neck before dripping onto the ground.
"Ha, defeat..."
Only three words were left behind before the Third Raikage, who was still alive, was beheaded by Minato Namikaze, who flashed forward. Then, holding the Third Raikage's head high, his furious shout carried far and wide!
"The Third Raikage has been beheaded, and the Hidden Cloud Village still wants to fight?!"
Standing behind Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya had never seen Minato Namikaze like this before, which left Jiraiya stunned on the spot.
A domineering and arrogant aura emanated from Minato Namikaze, sweeping across the entire arena and stirring the hearts of everyone present.
This is what a man should do!
