After all, ninjutsu involves running chakra through the human meridians, and then successfully directing this energy through special hand gestures.

However, summoned beasts have difficulty moving in the meridians because their body structures are too different from those of humans, which makes it impossible for them to use ninjutsu.

Only Qingxu Mantis, the martial arts master, can master the ninjutsu that only ninjas can learn through perfect control of his own body.

Apart from that, even the B-level psychic beast, Hidden Rat, would probably find it difficult to do this.

Therefore, just because of the ability to use Ninjutsu, Gray Wolf knew that the monkey in front of him, whose appearance was very similar to that of a human, was probably an extremely powerful existence in terms of both intelligence and strength!

......

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who escaped using the body-flickering technique, turned his head to look at the gray wolf shadow in the distance, with a lingering fear in his eyes.

He was just about to become a Hokage who was burned to death by Fire Release!

He knew that the spell that suddenly bound him was definitely the work of the gray wolf.

Only the gray wolf who has mastered the use of natural energy can use this silent, invisible and colorless attack.

"But...if I'm in good condition, I don't have to worry too much about that guy..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed inwardly.

The gray wolf had used this kind of binding attack on him before, but before the opponent's spell could be retracted, he was in good condition and easily dodged it with the teleportation spell.

......

Chapter 392 Rescue

"Being able to completely avoid perception and launch a sneak attack, that gray wolf's ability is really quite formidable..."

Saruma said to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He nodded slightly, fully agreeing with what his old partner said.

"Natural energy is inherently more advanced than chakra. Those who can skillfully wield this power are generally old monsters who have survived for hundreds or even thousands of years! The strange thing is, judging by the gray wolf's eyes, he doesn't look at all like an old monster who has experienced many hardships..."

It seemed as if he noticed the strangeness of the ape demon.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said this.

"Don't be surprised, your guess is correct. Judging by human lifespan, that gray wolf should be around four or five years old this year!"

"what?!"

An earthquake erupted in the ape demon's pupils.

The ninja beast that seemed powerful enough to rival its Ape Demon King was actually only four or five years old!

You know, although natural energy is more advanced and is also a native force of the ninja world, it is much more difficult to practice than chakra.

It is simply not possible to see results in just a few years of practice.

Therefore, in the eyes of the ape demon, the gray wolf, who was able to skillfully use natural energy to attack, was actually no different from those old antiques who were practicing in the three holy places.

Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent.

At the moment when both sides were unable to launch an attack for a short period of time, he fell into deep thought.

"Rather than saying that the abilities of these summoned beasts are increasingly bizarre and difficult to deal with, it's more accurate to say that the abilities of Shangguan Mo, the leader of the Tang Ninjas, are simply too bizarre. I wonder how this guy could have managed to cultivate so many powerful summoned beasts one after another..."

......

In the battle sequence of the Yunin Village, Shangguan Mo distributed two auxiliary summoning beasts to both summoning beasts and ninjas, which was standard.

Therefore, they can recover chakra much faster than other ninjas.

Even if that other person is Sarutobi Hiruzen!

The Pegasus troops' ninjutsu bombing began again. The ground was like a typhoon passing through, and then it became a flood with lightning and thunder.

Among them, Ah Huang and Big Bad Wolf also launched sneak attacks from time to time.

Animals like Ahri in Shangguan Mo's body can more intuitively feel Sarutobi Hiruzen's increasingly powerless resistance.

"It's just the last gasp of a dying force..."

He chuckled, but couldn't help but show excitement in his eyes.

Although this was not his original intention, since the other party had already come to his door. If he could keep Sarutobi Hiruzen, then the entire ninja world would have to face the edge of his Yugen Village!

Unlike his previous choice of keeping a low profile, when he becomes strong enough, no one will be willing to cause trouble for the Ninja Village.

Shangguan Mo had such an awareness in his heart.

Boom boom! ! !

A huge explosion came from below.

Shangguan Mo, who was awakened, looked at the thin figure in armor lying on the ground, and a cold curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He once again...

He gently waved his hand towards the ground.

The Pegasus troops launched a new round of joint ninjutsu, once again breaking through the air towards the ground.

The brilliance of ninjutsu blooms wildly in the night sky.

But just when the flames were about to completely engulf the two figures of the man and the beast below, the space somewhere seemed to begin to distort, and then a slender human figure quickly appeared.

Under the moonlight, the back of a figure with blonde hair, blue eyes, and wearing a white Hokage robe appeared.

The words "Fourth Hokage" are written on the white Hokage robe.

He stepped forward and turned around, facing the flames falling from the sky, with a look of pain on his face.

It was Minato Namikaze.

He stretched out his hand and placed it on Sarutobi Hiruzen's shoulder. When the flames fell to the ground, the two men and the beast suddenly disappeared.

......

In a deserted forest.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was supported by Enma and leaned against him.

His face was pale, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. Even his armor was tattered and through the shattered armor, one could clearly see dark red blood stains all over his exposed clothing.

Although he was not on the verge of death, Sarutobi Hiruzen's condition was indeed extremely bad. It would not be surprising if he could collapse and lose consciousness at any time.

"Third-sama! You! Are you okay?!"

Minato Namikaze squatted down and asked quickly, with a complex look flashing in the depths of his eyes.

He went from initially loving and respecting this frail old man to now hating and loving him, which made it difficult for him to face him.

"If the Third Hokage could let me do what I want, Konoha Village would definitely be reborn from its decay!"

Minato Namikaze has always felt this way.

But when he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen, who looked like he was about to die, he couldn't help but feel sad.

The old man may be pedantic and decadent, but he cannot deny the great achievements that Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, made for Konoha when he was young.

Don’t say anything else about him, because it may all be just repetitions of what others have said.

However, the two successful attempts allowed Konoha to emerge victorious from the Ninja World War and established its reputation as the number one ninja village in the Ninja World.

Sarutobi Hiruzen could no longer do more for Konoha Village.

Even Minato Namikaze respected Konoha's strongest Hokage from the bottom of his heart.

......

"I'm fine... Minato, I'm sorry to bother you this time... this time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke with difficulty.

"Don't say that, Sandaime-sama. This is what I should do."

Namikaze Minato responded quickly.

Minato Namikaze didn't think there was anything wrong with Sarutobi Hiruzen transferring his chakra into the Flying Thunder God Kunai he had given him, asking him to save the life of the Third Hokage.

Even when he rushed over to save the situation using the Flying Thunder God Technique, he was attacked by the blue mantis, causing his stomach to churn.

It felt as if all the internal organs were twisted together.

"That mantis has such terrifying strength!"

Namikaze Minato was secretly shocked.

At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had taken a breath, hesitated for a while and then said something that made Namikaze Minato change color.

"Minato..."

"Ok?"

Namikaze Minato looked over in confusion.

"There's something I feel I need to tell you right now. After all, whether we're superiors or friends, you have the right to know..."

"...Just say it!"

"Shikaku and the others...may have met with an accident..."

"what?!"

Minato Namikaze's pupils suddenly widened.

......

Chapter 393 Suffocation

"Nara Shikaku and the others... may have met with an accident..."

These words were like a hammer, hitting Minato Namikaze's heart hard.

Waves of suffocation came over me crazily.

Minato Namikaze could never believe that his best friend, this generation's Ino-Shika-Cho, would one day die in this small Ninja Village!

The most important thing is that this time it was him, the Fourth Hokage, who called Nara Shikaku and the other three over!
