I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

Just before the human bomb vehicle arrived, having finally completed his technique, he slammed his hands on the ground and said:

"Earth Escape·Earthquake Core!"

moment.

Under the influence of chakra, the ground in front of the loess rose dramatically, forming a large earthen wall tens of meters thick.

next second.

A deafeningly loud impact resounded.

The massive flesh-and-blood tank crashed headfirst into the earthen wall.

Rumble!

In an instant, a violent shockwave, accompanied by the earth-shaking tremor, spread out in all directions, and thick dust billowed up, engulfing a group of Konoha ninja and Iwa ninja, including Akimichi Choza and Kyoto, making them invisible for a moment.

If you looked from the sky at this moment, you would see that the yellow dust kicked up by Akimichi Choza and the loess was particularly conspicuous on the long battle line.

However, Deirada, who was flying in the sky at the moment, had no interest in watching.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One after another, chakra projectiles were rapidly fired at him from the rear of Konoha's position.

This greatly displeased Deidara, who had just transformed into a "bomber," excitedly dropping explosive bombs at the Konoha ninja camp below and admiring the beauty of art.

However, after the giant bird he was riding was punched with a huge hole, Deidara, who was almost turned into mincemeat if he hadn't made another giant bird out of clay to hold himself up, never dared to be careless again.

"What a hassle!"

Noticing the increasingly dense barrage of bullets in the air, Deidara could only mutter to himself as he manipulated the giant bird beneath his feet to dodge.

"Be careful, Deidara!" Onoki warned from behind.

"Old man, is your back better?" Deidara asked loudly with a chuckle as he dodged.

"Alright, alright," Onoki waved his hand dismissively.

Originally, he was supposed to launch an attack with the army at the beginning of the renewed war.

As soon as he took off, he broke his back again in his excitement. After being given emergency treatment by a medical ninja, he has finally recovered and managed to avoid missing the battle.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Noticing the appearance of a new enemy, the Leaf Village cannons below also fired shells at Onoki.

Turning his gaze away from Deidara, Onoki, already accustomed to flying, easily dodged while clasping his hands together and saying:

"Dust Release: Particle Style Detachment Technique".

Instantly, a white dust barrier stretched out from his hands, transforming into an enormous laser beam that ravaged the Konoha artillery positions.

Soon, the frequency of the Konoha chakra cannons decreased significantly.

Just as Onoki was about to press on, a three-pronged kunai flew toward him at incredible speed.

Onoki's expression changed, and he immediately stopped and moved away.

The next instant, Minato Namikaze appeared beside the Flying Thunder God Kunai.

Although it didn't work out, it's not like before.

At this moment, Minato, like Onoki, floated calmly in the air.

Then he flipped his hand and grabbed another Flying Thunder God kunai, looking at Onoki with a cold expression and said, "Lord Tsuchikage, your next opponent is me."

"The Technique of Light and Heavy Rocks?"

Noticing Minato's current state and the familiar fluctuations of his ninjutsu, Onoki's expression instantly turned grim.

You should know that Earth Release: Light and Heavy Rock Technique is a secret technique unique to Iwagakure. How did Minato Namikaze learn it?

Was it leaked from within the village? Or was it the work of Konoha spies?

Whatever it was, it's no longer a matter of ninjutsu being leaked.

Instead, compared to Konoha, the aerial advantage he brought to the Iwa ninja as the Tsuchikage was completely negated.

'Damn Konoha!'

Onoki, who habitually cursed under his breath, looked at Minato, who was staring intently at him and poised to attack. He had no choice but to deal with him first, saying, "The Yellow Flash, huh? Then let me see if you have the ability to stop me!"

"Old man, count me in! Let's take down this 'sparkling' one together!" Deidara said, rubbing his fists together, not far away.

Chapter 262 Minato, Onoki, Deidara

During the war, Onoki would never have considered that joining forces to deal with one person might damage the Tsuchikage's reputation.

Otherwise, when facing the lone Third Raikage, he wouldn't have brazenly chosen to have tens of thousands of Iwa ninja gang up on him instead of fighting the Raikage one-on-one.

Onoki, who hoped to quickly defeat Minato Namikaze with Deidara's help so he could reinforce the Iwa ninja below, naturally agreed.

Seeing this, Deidara smiled excitedly: "Hehe! Let's start the fight then... Hmm!"

After saying that, he launched the first attack.

Immediately, a large lump of clay was taken out of Deirada's ninja bag, stuffed into his mouth in the palms of his hands, and after chewing it for a while, dozens of small white two-winged birds quickly came out from inside.

With a flick of his wrists, he tossed the object into the air.

These clay birds spread their wings and flew towards Minato faster than any flying ninja tool.

Knowing that these clay creatures were all self-destructing bombs, Shuimen didn't try to take them head-on, but instead quickly dodged in mid-air.

However, in the following time, Deirada continuously spat out more two-winged birds from his palms, chasing after him from all directions.

With Onoki constantly harassing him from the side, after a series of pursuits and interceptions, Minato, whose aerial combat experience was ultimately somewhat lacking, was finally caught up by the Twin Winged Bird.

Upon witnessing this scene, Deira quickly formed a hand seal with one hand, his eyes shining brightly as he said:

"Art is an explosion! Drink!"

boom! boom! boom!

A series of clay explosions suddenly rang out around Minato Namikaze.

Gazing at the intense flames ahead, Deidara said with anticipation:

"Is it resolved?"

"Not at all!"

Not far away, Onoki spoke in between sentences as he used Earth Release: Super Light Heavy Rock Technique to fly at incredible speed toward a Flying Thunder God Kunai that had just been thrown.

There, the perfectly intact figure of Minato Namikaze had just emerged.

Earth Release: Rock Fist Technique!

Ōnoki, who rushed forward and transformed his right hand into a heavy rock fist, seized the opportunity and struck Minato fiercely.

At that moment, a blue Rasengan rapidly condensed from Minato's open right hand, and without dodging, he chose to take the punch head-on.

Bang~~

The next second, the ninjutsu of Rasengan and Rock Fist intertwined rapidly, and violent shockwaves surged outwards in waves.

In a very short time, the blue spiral light grew brighter and brighter.

I watched as layer upon layer of brown rock was broken open.

Finally, as if reaching a critical point, Onoki, his face flushed, erupted again, and an even more turbulent wave of energy burst forth from the center of their fight like a volcanic eruption.

In the next instant, Minato and Onoki were both sent flying backwards.

However, compared to the latter, Minato, who clearly had the upper hand in the previous encounter, retreated a shorter distance.

Just as he steadied himself and prepared to press his advantage,

Deidara's attack has struck again.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~

Hearing the rapid sounds of clay twin-winged birds rushing through the air around him, Minato calmly pulled out four Flying Thunder God kunai from his ninja bag and threw one each in the directions of up, down, east, and west.

Which direction will it be?

Having learned his lesson, Deira dared not be careless. He directed some of the clay twin-winged birds to continue flying toward Minato's main body, which had not yet teleported, while he also directed the remaining birds to move closer to the four Flying Thunder God kunai.

Anyway, no matter which Flying Thunder God kunai the other party appears next to later, he said he would take them all.

Soon, another shout of "Drink!" rang out.

The explosions at the location of Minato's main body and the surrounding Flying Thunder God Kunai rang out simultaneously.

However, Minato never appeared anywhere.

Looking at the four Flying Thunder God kunai, still in excellent condition despite the aftershocks of the explosion, spinning rapidly in the air like headless flies, and glancing around at the empty sky where there was no one except his teacher, he was struck by the sight.

Deidara quickly realized what was going on and scoffed, looking annoyed. "Is this guy choosing to run away?"

Minato's Flying Thunder God technique has more than one coordinate.

There are no people visible in the air now, so they have obviously run back to the ground.

So you're not going to fight anymore?

Onoki's expression remained grave: "Be careful! Minato Namikaze is not one to give up halfway."

Having spent most of his time in the rear during the Third Shinobi World War, he finally witnessed firsthand how formidable Minato, who possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique, truly was.

The latter is like a powerful assassin who doesn't need to care about the consequences of making a mistake.

Its ability to instantly kill is outstanding.

Even if the first strike misses, there's no need to flee thousands of miles away; they can deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

Just like it is now.

The moment Onoki finished speaking, a large number of kunai suddenly shot out from below.

It also contains a few Flying Thunder God kunai.

"Deidara, watch out!"

Noticing this, Onoki quickly reminded him.
