Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode.

Chapter 371: The Disaster of Konoha

"What is this? God, I have to stop him!"

When Pain unleashed the terrifying sealing technique, Planetary Devastation, Karen, who was a kilometer away, saw Tsunade and the others being forcibly pulled into the black hole in the sky. She was immediately horrified and quickly pointed her gun at Pain, the one who cast the technique.

"Bang bang bang~"

The next moment, Hua Lian fired several shots.

To her surprise, all the bullets she fired with her sniper rifle went astray.

Clearly, any object that gets close to that area will be affected by the black hole's terrifying suction force and will have no way to escape.

"What are we going to do now? Lady Tsunade is going to be sucked in."

Hua Lian felt extremely anxious upon seeing this.

She came here to act as Tsunade's bodyguard, but Tsunade was captured by the enemy. What kind of bodyguard is she?

At the critical moment, a familiar blond figure appeared in Hua Lian's sniper scope.

The visitor was none other than Minato Namikaze.

Seeing that Tsunade was about to be in danger, Minato, who had been lurking nearby, could no longer hide.

"It's finally out! I've been waiting for so long!"

As soon as Minato appeared, Pain sneered and then waved his hand.

A powerful repulsive force appeared instantly.

Shinra Tensei!

Minato had already grabbed Tsunade and was preparing to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to take her away, but Pain's timing was too perfect. A terrifying repulsive force instantly acted on both Minato and Tsunade.

Having taken no precautions, the two were immediately severely injured, spitting out a large amount of blood, and were then heavily blasted away by the enormous repulsive force.

Almost simultaneously, the Third Mizukage, Pain, of the Preta Path, immediately made his move. He used the Water Instantaneous Movement Technique to appear in front of Minato and then grabbed Minato's throat with one hand.

"You can't escape now."

The Third Mizukage stared at Minato with his cold Rinnegan and said in a chilling voice.

"Damn it, release the water gate right now!"

Tsunade struggled to her feet and said with a grim expression.

As she spoke, she was about to step forward and deliver a powerful punch to the Third Mizukage, but the Third Mizukage kicked her hard in the abdomen, sending her flying backward and spitting out blood once again.

This time, Tsunade immediately exited Sage Mode and collapsed to the ground unconscious.

"Hmph, you little girl who has only mastered a little bit of Wood Release, this is all you can do."

The Third Mizukage said dismissively.

"Don't even think about attacking Lady Tsunade."

"I can't breathe," Minato struggled.

As he spoke, red chakra began to emanate from his body, and his eyes turned into blood-red beast eyes, clearly indicating that he was about to enter the tailed beast transformation state.

Unfortunately, the Third Mizukage is now Pain, the Preta Path, and can absorb any chakra except for poisonous Sage Mode chakra.

So, he tightened his grip on Minato's neck, and Minato let out a painful scream before his tailed beast form quickly dissipated.

At that moment, a bullet struck the Third Mizukage's hand that was gripping Minato's.

Because the Lightning Release and Wind Release chakra attached to the bullet were instantly absorbed by the Third Mizukage, the bullet failed to sever the Third Mizukage's hand directly, but this gave Minato a chance to counterattack.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Minato pulled hard with both hands, ripping off the Third Mizukage's almost severed hand, and then kicked the Third Mizukage away with a powerful kick.

The next moment, he was about to use the Flying Thunder God Technique when he was shocked to find that his chakra was almost depleted and he could not support the Flying Thunder God Technique to quickly complete the transfer.

In addition, his connection with the Yin Nine-Tails within him was temporarily severed, making it impossible for him to draw upon the Yin Nine-Tails' chakra.

"Run away! Why aren't you running away anymore?"

Pain slowly descended from the sky, sneering, and was holding Hua Lian's sniper rifle in his hand.

Upon seeing this, Minato couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

The enemy's strength is truly terrifying.

"Why hasn't Kirito-sama arrived yet?"

Minato thought to himself that this was not the only thought in his mind.

Faced with a terrifying opponent like Madara Uchiha, they were truly at a loss. It's hard to imagine how Kirito managed to rescue the Third Hokage from him.

But in the current situation, only Kirito's arrival could possibly turn things around.

"Judging from your eyes, there's no sign of despair yet. Are you thinking of waiting for that kid from Konoha named Kirito Tohsaka to come and save you?"

The original text can be found at 6#9@book/bar!

Looking at Minato's unyielding gaze, Pain suddenly spoke, then revealed a mocking smile.

Upon hearing this, Minato's heart sank. He began to realize that Madara Uchiha's attack was based on the assumption that Kirito would not be able to come to his aid in time.

If that's really the case, then there's only one thing that could prevent that person from devoting their energy to providing support here.

That means Konoha is under attack.

"Human eyes are truly amazing. Even without speaking, they can speak for their owner, and it's very difficult for the owner to stop them from speaking. That's right, you guessed it, Kirito Tohsaka can't come to your aid right now."

Pain saw Minato's eyes shrink to pinpoints in pain and laughed triumphantly.

Meanwhile, in Konoha, a fierce battle is underway.

Konoha was no longer the peaceful village it once was, even during wartime. Battles were now raging in the village's streets and alleys, and a large number of giant snake-like summoning beasts from Ryuchi Cave, with black rods stuck in their bodies, suddenly emerged from the ground and wreaked havoc throughout the village.

Even more terrifying is that these giant snake-like summoning beasts also contain a large number of impure world puppets created by the Impure World Reincarnation technique. Each of these impure world puppets was a Jonin from a major ninja village in their previous life.

Now that these Jonin who had already died have been summoned back by Madara Uchiha using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, their strength has not decreased by much.

Nearly two hundred reanimated puppets with the strength of Jonin launched a simultaneous attack on Konoha, along with more than fifty giant snake-like summoning beasts with the strength of elite Jonin. Even Konoha had to go all out to deal with them.

"You bastards, die!"

A tremendous roar suddenly erupted in the Uchiha Madara clan's territory.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a red tengu warrior, his body wreathed in black flames, used a massive katana also wreathed in black flames to slay a giant black snake-like summoning beast.

With a flash of light, the huge black serpentine spirit beast was cut into several segments, and its body was quickly burned and turned to ashes.

Seeing their clan leader's incredible feat of instantly slaying a summoning beast with strength comparable to a Kage, the Uchiha ninjas in the Uchiha clan territory were greatly encouraged and bravely launched an attack on the approaching summoning beasts and Edo Tensei ninjas.

Thanks to the fact that Konoha already knew that Madara Uchiha had mastered the Impure World Reincarnation technique, most of the Konoha ninjas carried sealing talismans, strategic items uniformly distributed from above.

As a result, a large number of Uchiha ninjas joined forces to attack the summoning beasts and Edo Tensei ninjas, and these summoning beasts and Edo Tensei ninjas were quickly killed and then sealed away.

However, the attacking summoned beasts and reanimated ninjas seemed endless, constantly emerging from the huge hole in the center of the village.

Seeing this, Chizuru grew even angrier, wishing she could kill all the enemies who had invaded her homeland immediately.

Unfortunately, she is already struggling to protect the Uchiha clan's territory, and simply doesn't have the extra energy to help other places.

The only way to stop this quickly now is if the person outside the village can swiftly kill the leader of the invading enemy.
