I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 171 Minato Namikaze Makes His Appearance, Naruto, You've Grown Up

"In that case, leave the rest to me."

Unaware that Nagato had other ideas, Hyakko had already received orders from the main body and spoke up.

His words instantly drew everyone's attention.

Are you confident?

"Obito Uchiha asked in a deep voice."

"I don't know, but at least it can buy us some time."

Bai Mao smiled knowingly: "Cards are meant to be played. Ace against ace. I also want to see who is stronger, the former Hokage or the current strongest in Konoha."

"I'll send Elephant to create clones to assist you, and try my best to prevent them from destroying your trump card."

Obito Uchiha instantly understood what the Hundred Faces was planning to do, so he controlled his clone to use Kamui and rushed towards the battlefield on Konoha's side.

Yagyu's strength not only surprised Nagato, but also stunned Obito Uchiha.

Both possessed Wood Release, but he never imagined that his Wood Release would be so vastly different from the real Wood Release.

It's important to understand that without Kamui, his ninjutsu and taijutsu skills are even slightly inferior to Kakashi Hatake's. The reason his genjutsu surpasses Kakashi's is because half of his body is composed of Hashirama cells.

This is what allowed Obito Uchiha to reach the level of an elite Jonin in terms of overall strength.

Combined with the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan and Kamui, as well as Izanagi, it was this that gave him the ability to be fearless against the Five Kage.

It even has the power to completely counter Jinchūriki.

But without Kamui, he wouldn't even be able to defeat Itachi Uchiha.

That's why Obito Uchiha was so wary of the Uchiha clan, and only dropped his pretense after their deaths.

Similarly, if he didn't have Kamui, he wouldn't be qualified to join forces with Nagato, let alone dare to appear in front of Nagato.

Otherwise, if Nagato were to fight him, it would be just like fighting Orochimaru and the others. With a single move like Bansho Ten'in and Shinra Tensei, he could easily toy with him like a monkey.

This is still the disabled Nagato.

Now that Nagato has received unlimited chakra from the Gedo Mazo, his physical abilities have returned to their peak, making it even less likely that Obito Uchiha will be his match.

Not only him, but even the Five Kage and Itachi Uchiha, who had many trump cards, would not be a match for Nagato.

If it weren't for the fact that Obito Uchiha had his own ideas—wanting to obtain the Rinnegan to seal the Tailed Beasts himself and become a Jinchūriki—he really wouldn't have wanted to tell Nagato the method Black Zetsu provided, in order to ensure the Tailed Beast sealing went smoothly.

Unexpectedly, Nagato, who received an epic boost, was defeated so quickly.

The explosion, which seemed to reverberate throughout the Land of Rain, could be heard not only by the clones but also by Obito Uchiha's main body in the underground base.

Yagyu's strength is beyond imagination.

He was only sixteen years old, an age when he should be growing up, but he no longer needed to grow up.

This put Obito Uchiha under a lot of pressure.

If he had known that Yagyu possessed such strength, he wouldn't have just told Nagato the method Black Zetsu provided; instead, he would have taken the opportunity to attack the weakened Nagato and steal his Rinnegan.

Now, Obito Uchiha is in an extremely awkward situation.

He couldn't defeat Nagato when he returned to his peak, nor could he stop Konoha's advance.

If Yagyu leads Konoha to attack, they will have no choice but to break the seal and flee with the Gedo Mazo and the Jinchūriki.

However, Obito Uchiha was extremely unwilling to accept this.

This war may well be an opportunity.

Perhaps in this war, he could start the Eye of the Moon Plan ahead of time, seize the Rinnegan, remove the cursed seal on his heart, become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and create a new world with Rin.

So when he heard Bai Mao's words, Obito Uchiha felt like he had grasped a lifeline and immediately went all in.

At the same time, Obito Uchiha suddenly felt incredibly fortunate. Luckily, he had unhesitatingly handed over the Uchiha clan's Flame Fan to the Hundred Faces, recruiting Hiruko, who was a contemporary of the Sannin and who, through her own wisdom, developed the Oni-Garaku Technique and fused multiple bloodline limits to become a perfect being.

Otherwise, this perfect opportunity would truly be missed.

Of course, Hyakko had no idea what Obito Uchiha was thinking.

He did not refuse Obito Uchiha's invitation.

The original plan was not only to crush the five great ninja villages other than Miyazaki to a critical point, but also to further enhance his own strength, not only to become a Six Paths level powerhouse, but also to be fearless against Otsutsuki Isshiki and the alien Otsutsuki clan.

Therefore, the heretical statue must be resurrected.

It wasn't just Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu, the masterminds behind the scenes, who wanted Nagato to succeed; Yagyu did the same.

"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique!"

As the elephant-shaped clone formed hand seals, squatted down, and slapped the ground, the three coffins immediately rose from the ground.

After the coffin lid fell to the ground, three figures covered in cracks immediately emerged from it.

If the Konoha ninja were here, they would be absolutely stunned.

Because these three figures are the ones carved on the Hokage Rock, from children with self-awareness down to the smallest creatures.

Even uneducated elderly people know the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who sacrificed himself to seal the Nine-Tails.

As before, to prevent these three powerful figures from breaking free of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, after they were resurrected by the Hundred Faces Impure World Reincarnation, they were not given a chance to regain consciousness. Instead, their consciousness control was directly stripped away, and the wooden clones hidden underground by the technique were used to control them.

Swish swish·——·

As soon as the wood clones took control of them, the three Hokage immediately vanished in a blur.

Aside from having less chakra than the original body and lacking a game system, the wood clones possess all the abilities the original body knows.

Whether it's the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Phantom Body Flicker Technique, or the Lightning Release Chakra Stimulation of Cells, the three Hokage's body flicker is as fast as lightning.

In addition, the location where the coffin appeared was not far from the battlefield of Konoha.

Soon, the Miya ninja, who had worked together to eliminate most of the White Zetsu clones and also crushed the Edo Tensei army, and sealed them away while they were in a state of paralysis after their resurrection, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!"

A shout, different from Liu Sheng's, suddenly entered my ears.

Rumble...

Before the Konoha ninjas could look in the direction of the sound, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, and cracks began to appear.

Then, one by one, branches of varying sizes—no, they should be described as either large or enormous—surged forth from the cracks like pythons unleashed from their cages, resembling the tentacles of an octopus. They bound the unsuspecting Konoha ninja, rapidly absorbing their chakra, while simultaneously growing larger and sprouting numerous branches and leaves.

They turned into big trees.

The sheer number of trees formed a vast green sea in the blink of an eye, roaring towards the tens of thousands of Konoha ninja.

"It's the First Hokage! He was resurrected by the enemy using the Impure World Reincarnation technique!"

"Retreat quickly! Don't get caught by those branches, or your chakra will be drained or you'll be crushed by the sea of ​​trees."

The sudden appearance of the forest caught the Konoha ninja off guard.

Why did the once reliable guardian tree, which gave them a strong sense of security, suddenly turn into a death forest that buried them?

Meanwhile, the ninjas with amazing senses, as well as the Hyuga clan members who had activated their Byakugan, quickly shouted to wake up their stunned companions.

As a result, large numbers of people turned and ran away as if fleeing a flood, racing against the roaring green waves behind them.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Amaterasu!"

Because Yagyu was still at the top of the mushroom cluster above, he couldn't come down to rescue him in time.

So Naruto and Sasuke, who had been unable to get involved until now, began to unleash their full power.

The former formed hand seals and created thousands of shadow clones in golden form, which rushed towards the green waves.

Along the way, the golden chakra on their bodies condensed into an arm raised above their heads, rapidly gathering the chakra into a giant energy ball, which they then hurled towards the sea of ​​trees.

"Immortal Technique·Super Large Jade Rasengan!"

Rumble...

The deafening explosions continued one after another.

At the same time, black flames appeared out of nowhere, like black waves crashing against the green waves, engulfing countless trees and Naruto's shadow clones.

With their combined efforts, the enormous green waves not only failed to spread outwards and quickly form a huge forest, but were also instantly destroyed.

"Wow—that's amazing!"

"Besides Lord Yagyu and the rumored Team 8, there are actually other such strong individuals in the 60th generation of Konoha?"

"They seem to be Kakashi's students, and the third one seems to be one of the Hokage's personal disciples."

"Besides Team 8, Team 7 in Konoha is also this strong?"

"That one looks like the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and the other one looks like an orphan of the Uchiha clan. So that's them..."

"Wood Release, Sharingan, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and a descendant of the Uzumaki clan—it's so similar—"

This is simply a new era's ninja god and ninja world demon, plus a male Mito-sama!

The Konoha ninja, who hadn't run very far, had stopped at some point, gazing at the green sea of ​​trees that had been destroyed and quickly turned to ashes, and sighed repeatedly.

The combination of Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha, and the power they displayed, seemed to belong to another dimension, causing their reputation to soar rapidly to second only to Yagyu.

Kakashi Hatake, who witnessed this scene, was also filled with relief.

His students were no less talented than Kurenai Yuhi.

However, before the Konoha ninjas could rejoice for long, their expressions turned serious again.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Three figures suddenly appeared out of thin air in an open space.

Seeing the three of them, the Konoha ninjas closest to them all had their pupils contract to their maximum size, their faces covered in cold sweat, and they stammered, "Are you kidding me?!"

"The First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and—? The Fourth Hokage!"

"Is our next opponent the former Hokage?"

"Isn't the leader of Akatsuki already dead? Why are they still so stubborn? Do rogue ninja even have loyalty?"

Although there were only three enemies this time, the shockwave that this combination brought to the Konoha ninja far surpassed that of Pain's Six Paths, White Zetsu clones, and the Edo Tensei army.

There was no way around it; when they were just a few years old and had just entered the ninja academy, the first legend in the opening chapter of their history textbook...

He was one of the three.

The other two are legends among legends.

Of the tens of thousands of Konoha ninja, 99% are fans of these three individuals, some even die-hard fans.

And there were their former guards.

That's why no one understands the strength of the previous Hokage better than them.

It was precisely because they understood their strength that they realized they had no chance of winning, even with sheer numbers.

A suffocating sense of powerlessness and despair enveloped me.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Just as many people's legs were involuntarily going weak and trembling, three figures suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of them.

Gazing at the three incredibly young figures, the Konoha ninjas, who had been terrified, suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.

"Everyone, disperse and continue advancing towards Amegakure. We'll handle them."

Standing next to Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha, in the center position, Yagyu spoke calmly.

"Ninja Technique: Four Red Sun Formation!"

Almost the instant Yagyu finished speaking, four shouts came from afar.

Immediately, four red, transparent barriers rose from the four directions of east, west, south, and north, enveloping Yagyu, Naruto, Sasuke, the three Hokage, the former Hokage, and some Konoha ninja.

However, a small door was opened above the barrier behind the Konoha ninja.

"yes!"

Looking at this legendary barrier that only the four Hokage could create together, the Miyagami ninjas felt even more confident. They shouted in response and then quickly teleported away from the barrier, bypassing it and continuing their advance towards Amegakure.

"I've finally met you in real life, Dad."

Naruto gazed at Minato Namikaze, whose body was covered in cracks, his eyes initially filled with complex emotions, before a confident smile appeared on his face as he said, "Don't worry, I'll help you transcend this soon."

After saying that, Naruto slammed his right fist into his left palm, his fighting spirit palpable.

Seeing this, the wood clone, who originally didn't want to hurt Naruto's feelings, couldn't help but soften and silently released Minato's consciousness restriction.

Minato Namikaze, who had been expressionless and with lifeless eyes, slowly began to have a glimmer of light in his eyes.

Looking ahead at the glittering gold, he saw his son, who had recently reunited with him in the Jinchuriki dimension, alongside Kushina.

Realizing his own state, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but smile with satisfaction and say, "Naruto, you've grown up."

As Minato Namikaze finished speaking, a dazzling golden light stunned Naruto, made Sasuke Uchiha's pupils shrink, and even attracted the attention of many powerful individuals who had bypassed the barrier, leaving them all in awe.

Golden light erupted from Minato Namikaze's body, transforming into golden chakra that enveloped his entire being.

This state is exactly the same as Naruto's; it is clearly the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.
