Naruto: After hiding for a long time, he became the leader of the three ninjas

These "power banks" have obviously been sucked dry by him and have lost their ability to move.

After instructing Tsunade and the other two to protect Tsuchiro and the others, Kagura stood up and looked at the platform covered by the purple flame curtain.

A hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he immediately rushed over there.

On the high platform, the battle between these Kage-level warriors seemed even smaller than the formation on Kagura's side.

In front of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two, there were three people who looked just like them.

It’s just that these people are more like faded fakes, and are clearly different from the real people.

It was an illusion created by Karutagi Yagura's Water Style: Water Mirror Technique.

These phantoms can use the same ninjutsu as their opponents, and with the same power, making them very tricky.

Raikage Ai unhappily broke off a piece of coral from his body, with a hint of anger evident in his eyes.

This is exactly the Coral Palm of Yagura Gojo. Corals will grow on any part of the body hit by his palm. This technique is extremely destructive to physical ninjas.

But for Ai, who has the strongest shield, this kind of attack can't really hurt him.

However, being of a hot-tempered nature, he obviously could not accept being beaten all the time.

He looked at Karuju Yagura who was not far away and said dissatisfiedly:

"Why not just kill him!"

"no!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen beside him decisively rejected it.

In fact, even among the Kage-level, Yagura Karuta, who has not yet become a Jinchūriki, is only at the lower end in terms of strength.

If it really came down to a fight for their lives, he and Kakuzu, who had only one-fifth of their power, would never be able to resist the three of them.

The reason why the battle has lasted until now is because Sarutobi Hiruzen and his men have never used their true strength to fight.

After all, no matter what, Karutagi Yagura is the Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village. If they really kill the Mizukage here, it can be predicted that the continent, which has just been at peace, will set off the Second Ninja War.

"But..."

Raikage Ai is not a man with strong limbs and a simple mind. He certainly knows what Sarutobi Hiruzen is worried about.

But through the purple flame curtain, he could already see that many senior ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village had gathered outside the barrier.

At this moment, the flame curtain was protecting them rather than trapping them.

Although he is very confident in his own strength, there is still a certain gap between him now and the peak strength in the original book where he can fight against ten thousand alone.

If he faced an attack from the entire village's jonin, he couldn't be sure he could break out.

"Den!"

There was a sound of swords fighting, and after Danzo and the monster transformed by Kakuzu hit each other, they retreated to their side.

As the weakest among the three, he was responsible for fighting Kakuzu from the beginning of the battle.

At this time, he had also begun to gasp for breath.

He took a deep breath, looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said:

“When necessary, you must seize the opportunity to escape on your own.

You can’t die here now.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally understood the meaning of his words, so he neither nodded nor refused on the spot.

On the other side, the man wearing a red mask, Kakuzu, floated to the side of Karatachi Yagura.

He raised his masked head slightly and looked into the distance to the southeast.

Then, a hoarse, inhuman voice came from the mask:

“It’s been nearly twenty minutes since the roar.

Calculating the time, it seems that Madara should have already left here with the Three-Tails. My work has come to an end, and it is time to leave."

Hearing his words, Karuju Yagura nodded in agreement.

He looked at the group of jonin gathered outside the seal and replied:

"Go ahead, my people are here too.

Don't worry, I will follow the instructions of that master and try my best to keep these people here."

"Oh, I don't care about that..."

Kakuzu said this in a mocking tone, and then quickly flew backwards.

Seeing the direction the monster was heading, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes narrowed and he suddenly warned:

"Everyone be careful, the monster is about to break the seal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the square purple flame curtain starting from the top of his head gradually began to melt away.

In just a few seconds, the huge four purple flame formation disappeared as if it had never appeared.

Five balls of black thread gathered together and reassembled into a person.

The man was covered in a huge black robe, wearing a tight black hat on his head and a black mask underneath, which completely obscured his face.

The only thing revealed was a pair of green eyes that exuded cruelty and indifference.

He glanced at the Mist Village jonin gathered below, chuckled and said:

"Go help your Mizukage-sama!"

After saying that, he flew straight away into the distance.

The jonin looked at each other, and finally everyone turned their attention to the person gathered in the front, the bald examiner.

The bald examiner gritted his teeth and finally gave the order:

"Go to Mizukage-sama first, at least to ensure his safety."

After receiving the order, everyone nodded and rushed towards the direction of Mizukage Karuta Yagura with him.

However, just as everyone was about to move forward, a blue lightning suddenly passed through them and rushed towards the battlefield over there at lightning speed.

Seeing the familiar blue lightning, the bald examiner narrowed his eyes and murmured:

"It's him?

But what can he do now?"

On the other side, just as the flame curtain melted away, Sarutobi Hiruzen was suddenly stunned.

After a moment, he said to the Third Generation Lightning Ninja:

“Can you help me hold off those jonin for thirty seconds?

I will be in charge of the Mizukage here, trust me, I have a way to get us out of here safely."

Although he didn't know what idea Sarutobi Hiruzen had come up with, Ai finally nodded and agreed to his suggestion.

The next second, his whole body roared with thunder and he turned into a beam of lightning that rushed towards the three clones in front of him created by the Yagura Ninjutsu of Gotachibana.

Those clones were like fragile mirrors, shattered into pieces by a single impact from Ai.

After doing all this, Ai left.

Seeing Ai's departing back, Sarutobi Hiruzen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he said to Danzo beside him:

"You and I, we have to find a way to restrain Yagura Karatachi for at least ten seconds!"

Although Danzo frowned, he still raised the long sword in his hand because of the trust of his old friend.

In fact, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who looked calm, was full of doubts in his heart at this moment.

Just now, when the seal was lifted, a voice came into his eyes.

He was very familiar with that voice, because it was the voice of his beloved disciple - Kagura.

Chapter 74 Yes, Just Me

Just as the flame curtain melted away, Sarutobi Hiruzen heard Kagura's voice:

"Sarutobi-sensei, the Mizukage Karuta Yagura was controlled by Uchiha Madara's illusion.

Find a way to suppress him, I have a way to remove this control."

Obviously, Kagura had already arrived outside the seal at this time, ready to assist Sarutobi Hiruzen and others in solving the most fundamental problem.

In Kagura's opinion, on the one hand, he can take the opportunity to complete his mission.

On the other hand, it was also for the sake of himself and others being able to leave the Water Country safely.

As soon as the mission came up, Kagura had a question in her mind: why did Uchiha Madara have to choose such a day to abduct the tailed beast?

You have to know that since the Three-Tails has been unsealed and released, with Uchiha Madara's ability, he can completely control the tailed beast and take it away without anyone noticing.

Why did he have to appear in front of the three shadows and tell everyone his purpose before leaving?

Madara is not the kind of brainless villain who has to do something cool.

However, after careful consideration, he finally figured it out.

Uchiha Madara did not appear in the process of plundering the tailed beasts. In fact, it should be the other way around. He deliberately chose this time to appear.

He deliberately chose this joint high school entrance examination of three countries, where all the Kage would be present, to actively attack the Hokage and Raikage of Konoha and the Hidden Mist Village by controlling the organizer, the Mizukage.

Anyway, no matter which of the last three shadows dies, it will undoubtedly trigger a new war on this continent that has only been peaceful for a few years.

Although it is not known why Uchiha Madara started collecting these tailed beasts in advance, it is undoubtedly easier for him to plunder the tailed beasts in the five countries in war than in peace.

You have to know that although Madara is very strong, he is just one person after all. It is impossible for him to conquer one country after another by himself.

If he really had this kind of power, he wouldn't need the help of those weird and strange demon statues...

So in Madara's plan, the real thing is how to use the Mizukage to destroy other people at the scene and trigger a huge war.

Controlling the three-tailed beast to leave was actually just a matter of convenience.

Once you understand this, you can predict the next move of the Mizukage, Karutagi Yagura.

Once the seal is lifted, he will gather all the power of the Hidden Mist Village and make sure to kill the two Kages and himself and others here.
