The Eight-Tailed Gyu-ki was not at all stunned. It started waving its many octopus tentacles before the Flying Thunder God Kunai hit the ground, knocking down many of them in an instant.
But this is not Minato Namikaze's ultimate goal, this is still a feint attack!
With a flash, Minato Namikaze turned into a yellow flash and arrived at the feet of the Eight-tailed Gyu-ki in an instant. He set up a circle of Flying Thunder God Kunai around the Eight-tailed Gyu-ki at the fastest speed.
Si—Chou—Yin!
Flying Thunder God Guides Thunder!
In an instant, the Flying Thunder God barrier, which could deflect attacks and entities, was deployed. Just when the Eight-Tailed Gyu-ki and Killer Bee realized that something was wrong, the man and the tailed beast instantly disappeared in the center of the battlefield.
After the Eight-tailed Gyu-ki was transferred away, the Nine-tailed Chakra covering Minato Namikaze's body dimmed a lot, but the remaining ones were enough for Minato Namikaze.
"The whole army is pursuing us!"
With a loud shout, Namikaze Minato took the lead, sensing the Flying Thunder God ritual mark that had been prepared in advance, and in a flash he blocked the retreating Cloud Ninja army.
Faced with the overwhelming force of the army, Minato Namikaze was not afraid at all.
He tapped the Flying Thunder God mark on his waist, then pinched the two ends of a Flying Thunder God kunai and placed it across his chest again!
Chapter 163 The Sandaime Raikage died!
Hell's Thrust·One Hand!
Lightning Release·Black Thunder·Black Spot Difference!
The Sandaime Raikage used the black lightning technique he developed while sprinting, instantly forcing back Jiraiya who was fighting with him.
While forcing Jiraiya to retreat, the Third Raikage withdrew from the battle circle in a few jumps and ran towards the main group of ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village without looking back.
But how could Jiraiya let the Third Raikage leave so peacefully?
Jiraiya saw everything clearly just now, and of course he knew why the Third Raikage was so anxious to retreat.
The tactics arranged by his favorite disciple Minato Namikaze before the war were executed perfectly. At this time, the large ninja army of the Hidden Cloud Village had been defeated!
This was due to both manpower and the Nine-Tailed Beast Jade.
But no matter what, the Hidden Cloud Village Ninja Army, which came with great momentum and returned in a hurry with defeat, has already been defeated!
So what if the total military strength is four times that of Konoha?
Facing the Nine-Tailed Fox's Tailed Beast Ball, no matter how many troops there are, they can only bomb a few more Tailed Beast Balls.
You know, this is the Tailed Beast Ball launched by the Nine-Tailed Fox!
As we all know, when the Six Paths Sage dismembered the Ten Tails, he was quite partial to the Nine-Tails Kurama.
The chakra of the Nine-Tails alone is equal to the total chakra of the other eight tailed beasts added together. The gap between them is naturally obvious at a glance.
The size, power, and firing frequency of the Tailed Beast Ball are naturally related to the total amount of chakra of the tailed beast.
Often the remaining seven tailed beasts use the Tailed Beast Balls as their trump cards, but the Nine-Tailed Fox can use the Tailed Beast Balls as balls in Naruto's hand, which are not only continuous but can also be used in a variety of ways.
It can be said that Minato Namikaze, who was working closely with Akira Hatake at this time, was a human-shaped Tailed Beast Ball transfer machine.
As long as Minato Namikaze has enough chakra, it will be no problem for him to resist the 1.5-strong ninja army of the Hidden Cloud Village alone. Even if given time, it is not impossible for him to severely injure or even annihilate them.
So Jiraiya’s main task now is to hold back the Third Raikage!
But since Jiraiya knew that he had to delay the Sandaime Raikage, the Sandaime Raikage naturally knew the seriousness of the problem.
The main problem facing the Hidden Cloud Village ninja troops now is that no one can restrain Minato Namikaze.
The Third Raikage saw it clearly just now that Killer Bee, who had transformed into a tailed beast, suddenly disappeared. This was obviously the work of Minato Namikaze.
Without any deterrent effect from Killer Bee on Konoha, Minato Namikaze will become even more unscrupulous.
No one knows where Killer Bee has been teleported to. Now the only one who can cause trouble to the Konoha ninjas is the Third Raikage.
Ignoring Jiraiya who was chasing him closely, the Sandaime Raikage rushed straight into the formation of Konoha's ninja troops!
In just one encounter, the Sandaime Raikage caused heavy casualties to the Konoha ninjas.
Jiraiya's eyes were red with anger, "Everyone, disperse, disperse!"
In fact, Jiraiya didn't need to shout, the ninjas in the Konoha Ninja Army were not fools, they naturally knew how to dodge.
There were even some skilled and courageous Konoha jonin who took the lead in launching a series of counterattacks against the Third Raikage.
However, the result was not satisfactory. With the protection of the Lightning Release Armor and his extremely fast movement speed, the Third Raikage did not suffer much damage.
At this time, the Third Raikage was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. In a moment he had scattered the Konoha ninja troops.
Even though the number of Konoha ninjas who died at the hands of the Sandaime Raikage was only about a hundred, the Sandaime Raikage was able to slow down the advance of Konoha's ninja troops by his own strength.
Jiraiya didn't have much to do when facing the Third Raikage who was determined to escape and didn't want to fight but only to stop him.
Because Jiraiya's Sage Mode ended at this time, his speed dropped back to its previous level. It was still somewhat beyond his ability to catch up with the speed of the Third Raikage.
The number of casualties among Konoha's ninjas was still rising rapidly, and the Third Raikage also felt physical fatigue from the bottom of his heart.
But the result was good. The Third Raikage successfully delayed the ninja troops of Konoha, and also successfully lured back Namikaze Minato who was slaughtering Cloud Ninjas in the distance!
At this point, the Sandaime Raikage's goal was finally achieved.
When his own ninjas were attacked by the enemy's top combat force, Namikaze Minato had no reason not to rush back.
This is a helpless thing, and it is something we have to bow to.
War is never a matter of one person. Even if Minato Namikaze used the Nine-tailed Beast Ball to kill as many Cloud Ninjas as possible in this battle, as long as the Konoha ninjas suffered heavy losses, it can only be called a tragic victory, and may even be classified as a failure.
As a last resort, Minato Namikaze had to give up the opportunity to further expand the results of the victory and come to help Jiraiya to jointly limit the Third Raikage's slaughter of Konoha's ninjas.
But to be honest, although the Sandaime Raikage's actions bought the large group of ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village time to retreat, in return, the Sandaime Raikage also forced himself into a desperate situation.
Jiraiya alone can hold him back, and with the addition of Minato Namikaze, the Third Raikage is directly at a disadvantage.
Before, Jiraiya was unable to stop the Sandaime Raikage from slaughtering the Konoha ninjas because he could not keep up with the Sandaime Raikage's speed, but Namikaze Minato was far faster than the Sandaime Raikage.
Sa!
A yellow flash flashed by, and Namikaze Minato raised the Wind Style: Rasenshuriken and pressed it heavily on the chest of the Sandaime Raikage.
boom!
The huge shock wave of the explosion blasted the Sandaime Raikage away. After a huge cloud of dust filled the air, the Sandaime Raikage stood up with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.
The Lightning Release Armor could previously withstand the Wind Release Rasenshuriken, but now Namikaze Minato was covered with the Nine-Tails Chakra Coat, so the power of the Wind Release Rasenshuriken naturally increased.
Although the Lightning Release Armor was not broken, the power of the explosion of the Wind Release Rasenshuriken still injured the Third Raikage.
Pooh!
After spitting out a mouthful of thick bloody phlegm, the Sandaime Raikage got into position again.
Hell's Thrust·One Hand!
The Third Raikage turned into lightning and rushed towards Minato Namikaze, but Minato Namikaze dodged it with a quick move and at the same time threw up a Flying Thunder God Kunai with his right hand.
If Hatake Akira was present, he might have opened his eyes wide in surprise, because the Flying Thunder God Seal engraved on this Flying Thunder God Kunai was the mark of the newly improved Flying Thunder God technique he used before he went to Konoha.
This Flying Thunder God Mark is missing. Its main function is not to allow the user to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to travel through space, but to allow space to cut people or objects.
Because of the missing part, only half of the object can be teleported into the space using the Flying Thunder God Technique, and the remaining half will naturally break under the power of space.
No matter how hard an object is, it cannot escape the pulling and cutting of the force of space, and separation of the head and body is inevitable.
Caught off guard, the Sandaime Raikage stretched out a finger and smashed the Flying Thunder God Kunai into pieces, but in response, his right wrist disappeared in an instant!
Frowning suddenly, the Sandaime Raikage slammed on the brakes and tried his best to pull back his arm.
But even so, the invisible and intangible gap in space still silently swallowed up half of the arm of the Third Raikage.
Namikaze Minato, who had dodged, took advantage of this brief moment to restart and slapped the Sandaime Raikage on the back, leaving an incomplete mark of the Flying Thunder God technique on his Lightning Release Armor.
A feeling of danger exactly the same as before lingered around the Sandaime Raikage, and he reacted the moment Namikaze Minato launched the Flying Thunder God Cut.
He took off his lightning armor, then suddenly ducked forward, narrowly avoiding the space rift that had just been created.
However, after the Lightning Release Armor was removed, the strongest defense that the Third Raikage relied on for survival naturally became ineffective, which gave Jiraiya an excellent opportunity to attack!
Rasengan!
In this fleeting opportunity, the Rasengan, the original instant ninjutsu, became the first choice. Jiraiya raised the azure ball in his hand and pressed it hard on the chest of the Third Raikage.
only……
The Sandaime Raikage managed to narrowly avoid it, but Jiraiya's attack accidentally headed towards Minato Namikaze.
Jiraiya was slightly stunned, and then his eyes became a little flustered. He didn't expect that he would cause such a farce in his lifetime.
But Minato Namikaze was not panicked. With a flash of yellow light, he reached out and patted the Sandaime Raikage on the shoulder, and at the same time teleported him to where he had just been.
The Flying Thunder God's Mutual Instant Spin Technique and the variant application of the Flying Thunder God's Lightning Guide not only instantly smoothed over the misunderstanding created by Jiraiya, but also sent the meat into Jiraiya's mouth.
boom!
The azure blue Rasengan exploded right on the chest of the Sandaime Raikage, taking away a large piece of flesh and blood from his chest, and he flew backwards again.
And as he flew backwards, a cold light flashed in Minato Namikaze's eyes, and he used the Flying Thunder God Cutting Technique again!
There was no extra movement, everything seemed silent.
There was no different kind of light, it was just so ordinary as if nothing had happened.
But what was strange was that the Sandaime Raikage coughed up a mouthful of blood in mid-air, and the part of his body that was slanting downward from the shoulder instantly disappeared into the air.
Blood flew everywhere, drawing a bloody picture in the air.
thump.
With the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, half of the Sandaime Raikage's body fell down. Blood flowed slowly from his unconsciously opening and closing jaw to his neck, and then dripped onto the ground.
"Oh, I lost..."
He only had time to leave three words and take a breath of the remaining Sandaime Raikage before he was beheaded by Minato Namikaze who flashed forward. He then held the Sandaime Raikage's head high and his violent shouts could be heard from far away!
"The Third Raikage has been beheaded, and the Hidden Cloud Village still wants to fight again?!"
Jiraiya, who was standing behind Minato Namikaze, had never seen Minato Namikaze like this before, which made Jiraiya stunned on the spot.
A domineering, overbearing aura emanated from Minato Namikaze, sweeping across the entire venue and making everyone excited.
This is what a man should do!
