Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 417: Well done!

Snapped!

While everyone remained silent, Hashirama Senju clapped his hands together and made the first decision.

"You're too dangerous. The Tailed Beasts must not fall into the hands of someone as dangerous as you, and besides..."

Hashirama Senju roared, "You who have turned Konoha into this mess, who killed Tsunade, do you think we'll just let you get away with this?!"

"Celestial Technique!"

Hashirama Senju instantly activated Sage Mode, his forehead covered with black lines, and a terrifying wave of chakra erupted from his body.

"Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!"

A giant wooden figure rose from the ground, its countless arms spreading out like the Thousand-Hand Guanyin.

At a height of two thousand meters, it is half again as tall as the surrounding mountains, and even Li Yao can only look up at it.

The nine tailed beasts standing beside the Thousand-Armed Buddha looked like nine kittens standing next to a tiger, pitiful and helpless.

If they hadn't realized that Hashirama Senju was one of their own, the nine tailed beasts would have run away long ago.

so horrible!

Minato, Tobirama, and the others stood atop the giant wooden figure, feeling the terrifying chakra within them, and their hearts trembled.

For the first time, the four experienced what it meant to be a ninja god and what divine power was.

The True Several Thousand Hands is not just a larger version of Wood Release; it is the True Several Thousand Hands performed using Wood Release Sage Chakra.

From each Wood Release fist, the four of them felt chakra fluctuations no weaker than those from a Tailed Beast Ball.

Thousands of Wood Release fists, resembling Tailed Beast Balls, were right behind him. Just thinking about it made it clear how terrifying the True Several Thousand Hands technique was at that moment.

The half of the Nine-Tails inside Minato's body trembled and remained silent.

Back then, Kurama, who was in full power, and Madara Uchiha joined forces, were defeated by Hashirama's Wood Release: True Thousand Hands. Even now, Kurama can still feel the pain from the terrifying power of that punch.

"Is this... the power of the First Generation?"

Itachi felt much calmer. The abilities of the unknown enemy were indeed troublesome, but the First Hokage's Wood Release had the power to quell chaos in the past.

"It seems you truly have never experienced what despair is!"

Li Yao's Obito clone saw the expressions on Minato's and the others' faces. Did they really think that a mere Senju Hashirama could stop his next move?

"Then let's give it a try!"

With a thought, Li Yao's Obito clone instantly created nine shadow clones.

"What does he want to do?"

Minato and the others looked solemn. Hashirama Senju didn't waste any words and his fist shot out from behind the Thousand-Armed Buddha, striking the Obito clone of Li Yao in mid-air below.

call out!

Li Yao used Obito's clone to teleport away, and nine other shadow clones also teleported away with him.

However, Li Yao's Obito clone teleported to a higher point in the sky, while the nine shadow clones instantly moved to the nine tailed beasts. They raised their hands to mark the nine tailed beasts with the Flying Thunder God seal and used the Flying Thunder God technique to teleport the nine tailed beasts into Obito's Kamui dimension.

Now that Obito's clone has perfectly transformed into Madara Uchiha, and without Minato's Flying Thunder God mark, Minato can no longer enter the Kamui dimension.

"Now no one can stop me. You can play with my shadow clones all you want!"

Li Yao's Obito clone smiled coldly and prepared to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to the Kamui dimension to resummon the Gedo Mazo to seal the nine tailed beasts and become a Jinchūriki again.

Nine shadow clones teleported out again to launch a devastating attack on the Land of Fire, showing Minato and his ilk what happens when they anger him.

"Spiritualism!"

Just then, Minato bit his finger, formed hand seals, and pressed them into the air, causing a massive summoning array to materialize.

Boom boom boom... Puffs of white smoke exploded.

The nine tailed beasts have returned to the ninja world.

Minato looked at Li Yao's Obito clone in the sky and said, "With me here, you can forget about becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki again."

"When?" Li Yao's Obito clone looked grim as he stared at Minato above the Thousand-Armed Buddha's head.

"Just as I was breaking the seal within you," Minato said calmly, though a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes.

"Well done, Fourth Hokage." Tobirama smiled.

"Well done, Minato." Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled as well.

"I see. As expected of you, Minato." Li Yao's Obito clone also smiled slightly, but the smile was cold and somewhat self-deprecating.

When Minato brought him out of the Kamui dimension, he didn't kill him immediately.

Obito's clone thought that Minato was considering Obito's status and wanted to persuade him.

In retrospect, that was only one of the reasons.

The bigger reason is that Minato also needs time to take advantage of the opportunity of chakra connection to persuade the nine tailed beasts to sign a summoning contract with him.

Minato was well aware of the terrifying power of spatial abilities.

Not to mention Obito's clones, Minato was also wary of Li Yao's hidden space, fearing that he would be helpless if Li Yao took the nine tailed beasts to the hidden space.

After all, he didn't leave the Flying Thunder God mark on Li Yao.

Therefore, the best solution is to form a summoning contract with the nine tailed beasts.

In this way, no matter which special space the nine tailed beasts are taken to by Li Yao or Obito's clone, with Minato's infinite chakra in his current Edo Tensei state, he can instantly summon the nine tailed beasts back, thus destroying the possibility of the nine tailed beasts being sealed again.

It has to be said that Minato's fighting talent is truly terrifying, or perhaps he had already planned how to deal with all sorts of situations before he even arrived.

This summoning technique completely made it impossible for Li Yao's Obito clone to reseal the nine tailed beasts into the Gedo Mazo.

Given Minato's reaction speed, Li Yao's Obito clone wouldn't stand a chance.

Thinking of this... Li Yao's Obito clone laughed, opening his mouth to laugh loudly while appearing as Madara Uchiha.

"Hahaha...Okay!"

"Good job, Minato!"

Li Yao's Obito clone let out the Uchiha's signature maniacal laughter, perfectly matching his current transformation into Uchiha Madara.

After laughing, Li Yao's Obito clone calmed down.

"I've changed my mind. Originally, I only wanted to destroy the Land of Fire, but now... heh heh."

Li Yao, Obito's clone, said coldly, "Let's start with the survivors of Konoha. I have plenty of time!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh... As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yao's Obito clone flew towards the nearest few Konoha survivors.

Boom... The Thousand-Armed Buddha chased after him, seemingly moving slowly but actually very fast, but it could only keep up with Li Yao's Obito clone, its thousand-armed fists unable to reach the Obito clone at all.

Minato and Tobirama were also helpless. Their Flying Thunder God Technique required a mark, which was fine on the ground, but there was nowhere to transfer it in the air. Even if they used Flying Thunder God kunai to transfer the movement, the speed wouldn't be much faster. Moreover, Obito's clone also had the ability to teleport, so they couldn't reach the opponent.

"Damn it, don't run away!"

"Weren't you going to make us look bad? Why are you running away?"

Seeing that they couldn't reach Obito's clone, Minato and the others frantically provoked and provoked Obito's clone from behind, wanting it to come back and fight them to the death.

Because they had already roughly guessed what Li Yao's Obito clone wanted to do.

"Scared? Heh, don't you think I'm too dangerous? Well, I'll have to do something dangerous to fit your expectations."

Li Yao turned around and smiled coldly. He deliberately did not use spatial teleportation to shake off the five people, so that they would personally experience what the pain of despair is.
