Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Chapter 98 The Advantage Lies With Me!

Even a powerful emperor like Emperor Wu of Han suffered a severe blow after defeating the Xiongnu, with his treasury empty and the people in tears.

After World War II, the British Empire went from being a world superpower to a second-rate country.

It's not 12 years from now, and Hiruko doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes.

Having just finished the Third Shinobi World War, these guys are too busy to even take a break, so how can they possibly cope with the financial burden of the upcoming enhanced hunt?

In reality, the enemy's patience was less than Birukho had imagined.

Four days later, news came from the flank of Konoha's defenses that three strongholds had been breached.

This time, Minato Namikaze, who was fully prepared, did not hesitate at all. He took Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and the Third Hokage and charged towards the enemy.

Tsunade and Danzo stayed behind to guard the rear, as news of the enemy's appearance had already reached them.

Minato Namikaze naturally knew that this was definitely a trap.

However, considering that Hiruko had left him a way to deal with the situation, Minato Namikaze hesitated for a moment before deciding to end the war directly.

The three of them followed the intelligence and sped along, quickly arriving at their destination.

Under the sunlight, Hanzo the Salamander, with a respirator on his face, lay hidden in the shadows under three or four boulders.

He sat silently under the boulder, not uttering a word, seemingly deep in thought.

A wisp of purple energy enveloped him; it was the poison of the salamander, an extremely potent poison.

Just a few dozen meters away from him was a Konoha squad that had been severely injured.

Hanzo the Salamander could have easily taken their lives with a mere flick of his wrist, but he didn't.

He sat under the boulder, taking advantage of the shade, drinking the iced cola he had seized from Konoha, and indifferently waiting for the others to arrive.

"Hokage-sama!"

"Are you all still able to move?" Minato Namikaze asked with a smile.

"no problem!"

"Then let's get out of here quickly."

The wounded ninjas, supporting each other, ran outside.

For a moment, silence fell over the scene.

Hanzo of the Salamander wore that strange respirator, from which came an aged voice: "Jiraiya, Orochimaru, it's been so long, you've grown to this extent."

"This time, you're the one who should lose."

"Hehe, maybe."

In the original work, Hanzo the Salamander is a very complex character.

His life can be clearly divided into two phases. In the first half, he was known as a demigod and was famous throughout the ninja world. He led Amegakure to fight on various battlefields.

Under his leadership, the Rain Ninja swept through the land, achieving successive victories against the Land of Iron, the Sand Village, and the Leaf Village, earning widespread fame.

Even though Amegakure was just a small ninja village in a tiny place, no one dared to underestimate him because of him.

However, in the latter half of his life, he seemed to become a different person, arrogant, muddle-headed, and incompetent, as if he had deliberately positioned himself on the chessboard of fate, just waiting for Payne to come and end his life.

At this moment, Minato Namikaze attacked without hesitation, instantly launching countless kunai that streaked through the air like meteors, carrying a sharp killing intent as they hurtled towards Hanzo.

Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, also quickly formed hand seals, their movements fluid and seamless.

They had no time to investigate why Hanzo would betray his former stance and instead single-handedly infiltrate the Konoha Allied Forces camp to act as a henchman.

In Minato Namikaze's eyes, Hanzo was now an enemy of Konoha, and there was no need for further words; only battle remained.

In an instant, the group simultaneously used their psychic abilities.

At Jiraiya's command, the imposing Gamabunta landed with a thud, his massive body resembling a moving small mountain.

Orochimaru's Manda, with its thick body twisting and its scarlet tongue flicking, descended from another dimension.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, also summoned his summoning beast, Enma. In an instant, several summoning beasts of various sizes and shapes gathered on the battlefield, as if a storm was about to break.

"I've run into another tough opponent," Gamabunta said, scratching his head.

Its massive body, when it crouches on the ground, resembles a small mountain.

At this moment, the Manda summoned by Orochimaru was twisting its thick body and flicking its scarlet tongue, looking extremely arrogant.

"Orochimaru, I want a hundred this time!"

"Heh, this is enough to satisfy you!" Orochimaru said indifferently.

The giant toad, Gamabunta, wanted to say a few more harsh words, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by a sudden turn of events.

Suddenly, a giant salamander darted out from the shadows and crashed into the giant snake.

This salamander looks incredibly plump, its flesh jiggling with every movement, yet it moves with extraordinary agility and astonishing speed.

At the moment of impact with the monstrous snakes, it opened its blood-red maw and spat out a large mouthful of purple venom at the snakes.

The snakes couldn't dodge in time and were hit squarely by the venom. With a muffled groan, they were instantly enveloped in a purple venomous mist, their bodies paralyzed and unable to move.

Seeing this, Minato Namikaze flashed forward and swiftly approached Hanzo the Salamander like lightning.

Just as they were locked in fierce combat, Hiruko's clone quietly arrived near the battlefield.

Hiruko had long anticipated that this battle would not be simple, since his opponent, Hanzo the Salamander, was most likely bait for his fishing.

If it were just dealing with him alone, Minato Namikaze and the others would naturally find it easy, but this battle is most likely a trap.

Therefore, he deliberately left this clone as a backup plan, keeping a close eye on the battlefield situation.

After a brief exchange, Hanzo the Salamander managed to force Minato Namikaze back.

Looking at Minato Namikaze's agile figure, he couldn't help but sigh, his heart filled with mixed emotions: "He's getting old after all."

After saying that, Hanzo closed his eyes, quickly formed hand seals, and instantly created several water clones that fled in different directions.

The trap was set up rather clumsily; even Hanzo himself felt it was somewhat perfunctory. He was probably just trying it out.

Minato Namikaze's eyes were resolute, and without the slightest hesitation, he chased after Hanzo's clone in the direction it had fled.

The others were equally confident. In their view, even if the leaders of Kumogakure and Iwagakure joined forces, they might not be able to gain the upper hand against them.

Hanzo the Salamander charged ahead, with Minato Namikaze leading the Konoha ninja in hot pursuit.

Meanwhile, Hiruko's clone followed closely behind, hanging at the far end of the group.

After a chase, Hanzo the Salamander, who had seemed to be fleeing in a sorry state, suddenly stopped.

He turned around abruptly and threw a signal flare into the air without hesitation.

The signal flare exploded in the night sky, instantly bursting out with an extremely bright and intense light, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.

As the signal flare flashed, powerful and surging chakra waves suddenly surged in the surrounding air.

The Konoha members who came in pursuit were all seasoned veterans, and they immediately realized that this was clearly a carefully laid trap.

However, when those three tangible chakra pressures rushed towards them, everyone instinctively felt a chill run down their spines.

This level of chakra is something only tailed beasts could possess.

Before the advent of the Gundam era, the Tailed Beasts were extremely intimidating beings in the ninja world.

Especially on the battlefield, the destructive power of a tailed beast is terrifying once it attacks.

Wherever the Tailed Beast Ball goes, mountains and rivers are shattered and lives are lost, often bringing terrifying and devastating results.

The chakra energy surging in from all directions at this moment indicates that three tailed beasts have gathered here!

If Hiruko hadn't captured Matatabi's jinchūriki, Yugito, earlier, the opponent probably would have released all four tailed beasts at once.

"Everyone be careful!" Jiraiya shouted, and before he finished speaking, the three huge streams of chakra that had been erupting suddenly began to gradually recede and condense.

Immediately afterwards, three enormous and ferocious-looking tailed beasts appeared before everyone's eyes: the Four-Tailed Son Goku, the Five-Tailed Kokuo, and the Eight-Tailed Gyuki.

They roared angrily, their voices echoing across the land, instantly surrounding Minato Namikaze and the rest of Konoha.

Minato Namikaze felt an overwhelming, terrifying aura rushing towards him, as if it were about to completely engulf him.

The moment some of Minato's team members stepped into the ambush zone, Roshi, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki who had already completed his Tailed Beast transformation, instantly sprang into action.

The terrifying energy fluctuations of the Tailed Beast Ball were completely different from the state when he occasionally had minor disagreements with the Jinchuriki.

They grew up in harmony with the Tailed Beasts, and Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, was considered the perfect Jinchuriki, having a deep connection with the Tailed Beast.

At this moment, the three tailed beasts unleashed their combined power, so strong that even if the Nine-Tails were here, it would be suppressed by their combined might.

Moreover, the strength of these two Jinchuriki who have transformed into Tailed Beasts is clearly not to be underestimated.

To prevent their escape, a massive sealing barrier quickly rose up around them, trapping everyone inside.

Although the sealing technique is not top-tier, it is difficult to break in a short time.

Just then, two familiar figures leaped out from the shadows—the Fourth Raikage A and the Third Tsuchikage Onoki.

Including Hanzo, who had previously pursued Hiruko, there are now three truly top-tier fighters who have appeared.

With three against four, plus three powerful tailed beasts, the situation seems extremely unfavorable for our side.

"The advantage is in my hands!" The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, thought to himself excitedly.

Minato Namikaze's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile as he said, "Fourth Raikage A and Onoki, you really think highly of us! You've sent three tailed beasts right off the bat."

"Fourth Hokage, you have already lost!" The voice of the Fourth Raikage, A, was like a thunderclap, clearly reaching the ears of Minato Namikaze and the others.

It's important to know that the Fourth Raikage, A, was never a coward. Even when facing a legendary powerhouse like Madara Uchiha, he dared to confront him head-on without hesitation.

His combat skills are even more astonishing; he once broke Susanoo Sasuke's ribs.
