Chapter 222 The Power of the Sen Sen Fruit

Now if he joins the Knights of God, he can only serve as a substitute at best. But after the war, when enough positions are vacant, he might be able to become a formal member of the Knights of God!

"The Mori-Mori Fruit... Although its attack power is much inferior to that of Sakaski, its survivability is a bit too bad..."

At this time, Minato was staring at Aramaki who was wrestling with the Third Raikage and felt a headache. Most of the ninjas were fragile with high attack and low defense.

A ninja that is killed with an A-rank ninjutsu can also be killed with a kunai or shuriken.

In the past, Minato had never encountered an enemy like Aramaki, who was not only very powerful but also had strong survivability and recovery abilities.

Even a Jinchūriki like Killer Bee of the Hidden Cloud Village could not have his upper body decomposed by the Dust Release like Aramaki, and then grow a complete body again and continue fighting with only half of his torso.

"…I am becoming more and more interested in this natural ability user. We must hold him back, Minato, I'm on my way!"

Orochimaru's somewhat anxious voice sounded in the headset. Although he already had Sakaski as a research subject, the abilities demonstrated by Aramaki so far were in no way inferior to Sakaski's excellent material in Orochimaru's opinion.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

Minato had a headache but still agreed. He just didn't have a good way to deal with Aramaki. But if he just wanted to delay Aramaki, with the cooperation of the four Impure World Ninjas, Minato still had some confidence.

"Forbidden hatred!"

Before Minato began to increase his efforts to prevent the enemy from finding a chance to escape, Aramaki, who had been suppressed the whole time, suddenly jumped up and overturned the Third Raikage. At the same time, a large amount of plants surged out from his hands, entwined around Aramaki and turned into an extremely huge tree man.

"Sand waterfall burial!"

The Second Kazekage quickly formed seals with his hands, driving a huge amount of quicksand into the sky from under the city wall.

Unless it is a special battlefield such as the sea or the sky, a powerful ninja can create a suitable home battlefield by himself.

The large amount of sand and gravel produced by hollowing out the rock layer under the city wall turned into two huge hands that covered the sky and tightly grasped the body of the giant tree man.

But before the Second Kazekage could launch the sealing technique, the tree man incarnated by Aramaki forcibly broke free from the quicksand and swung his huge fist at the Third Raikage, the only one who could fight him head-on.

'boom! ’

The city wall, whose foundation had been hollowed out by the Second Wind Shadow, collapsed under the attack of the giant tree man, and the Third Raikage, who tried to withstand the blow, was also smashed into pieces by the tree man.

"Steam the danger and explode the power!"

The Second Mizukage took the opportunity to attack the tree man, but unfortunately the Infinite Explosion Ninjutsu, which was powerful enough to injure the Army General, only blew the tree man away.

Although a big hole was blown out on the tree trunk, the tree man who was constantly absorbing nutrients from the underground didn't care about this level of damage at all.

"Chen Escape: The art of boundary peeling!"

Without waiting for the tree man to fully recover, the Second Tsuchikage had already aimed at the approximate location where Aramaki was and pierced through the tree man's body with a Dust Release.

This time, Huangmu was completely separated into atoms by the Dust Release Technique. Theoretically, he was dead beyond death.

But Minato, who was controlling the Impure World Ninja, did not change his expression at all. And just as he expected, even though the ability user had been 'killed', the tree man still showed no signs of losing control.

"Sure enough... it's a clone or something like that. That guy has hidden his real body from the beginning. No matter how many times I kill his clones, I can't cause any real harm to him..."

Minato raised his eyebrows slightly. Ninjas who could survive on the battlefield were all masters of intelligence analysis. Even though Aramaki's ability was a devil fruit that Minato had never heard of before, fighting for such a long time also allowed Minato to gradually figure out some intelligence about the enemy.

Although he knew that the Hokage was on his way, as a qualified subordinate, Minato was not prepared to wait until Orochimaru arrived before dealing with the enemy.

"Boundary: Sky Canopy Array!"

With his palms clasped together, an invisible spherical barrier spread out with Minato as the center, quickly covering most of the battlefield.

Compared to the Observation Haki that he has not yet mastered, Minato is more confident in the barrier ninjutsu taught to him by his teacher Jiraiya.

What's more, Aramaki's Observation Haki will only be stronger than Minato's. It is undoubtedly a pipe dream to rely on Observation Haki to find Aramaki's true form.

A large amount of information poured into Minato's mind as the barrier expanded, almost causing his brain to overload.

There were nearly 200,000 people on the battlefield on both sides at this time. Even if Minato only sensed the positions of all of them, the total amount of information was enough to give him a splitting headache.

Fortunately, Minato's brain was flexible enough that he eliminated most of the worthless targets at the first opportunity and focused on targets that had not moved for a long time.

"found it!"

However, at the moment when Minato found the real body of Aramaki, the fully recovered tree man also noticed the little golden-haired boy standing still. Aramaki, who had been defeated by Minato many times before, immediately controlled the tree man and punched Minato.

If he could kill this annoying little golden retriever, Aramaki wouldn't need to find an excuse to run away. After all, the Impure World Ninja is just a little troublesome for Aramaki. As the user of the Mori Mori Fruit, Aramaki is least afraid of a war of attrition.

Seeing the tree man's fist falling from the sky, Minato's expression couldn't help but change slightly. Although the Flying Thunder God Technique was not a big chakra consumer, continuous use of it was not something that ordinary people could withstand.

Unfortunately, he was still maintaining the barrier ninjutsu, so it was too late for him to use the instant body movement technique.

"Emperor Dan Gong!"

Just when Minato was about to try his luck with the substitution technique, a pterosaur surrounded by flames rushed over quickly, flapped its wings and slammed the tree man's fist hard.

Although he failed to smash the tree man's fist, he deflected the angle of its attack, giving Minato a chance to dodge instantly.

"Thanks, Jhin!"

Minato didn't expect that King, whom he had only met once, would show up to save the situation at the critical moment. Otherwise, even if he dodged in time after the punch, he would not be able to continue to lock on the location of Aramaki's real body.

"How did you get targeted by such a troublesome guy?"

The pterosaur fell to the ground and transformed into the tall Fire Disaster Jinx. He found that his full-strength attack only barely deflected the enemy's attack. Jinx was a little surprised and confused at this time.

Where did so many unheard-of strong men appear from on the sea? First, there was Esdeath, who was able to fight on par with Big Brother Kaido and Big Mom, then there was Tornado, who was only half as bad as them, and now there was a giant tree man that made him feel a little scared.

"He's not targeting me, but I'm trying to find a way to defeat him." Minato explained while maintaining the barrier. As long as he wasn't sensing a large number of targets at the same time and only locked onto Aramaki's body, it wouldn't be too much of a burden.

"Are you crazy? This guy's strength is considered a monster even in the New World. Do you think you can defeat him by yourself?!"

Jin was very shocked. According to his observation Haki, the pressure brought to him by the giant tree man was only slightly weaker than that brought to him by Brother Kaido.

Conservatively speaking, it would take all three disasters to have a chance of defeating the tree man.

"Sorry, I can't tell you anything about the mission."

Minato spoke somewhat helplessly. Although no one would target this enemy who could use Wood Release-like abilities like the Hokage, as a qualified ninja, Minato would not easily leak any information while on a mission.

"Earth Release: Gangli Style Technique!"

The Second Tsuchikage used the Earth Escape Technique to summon a gigantic rock statue, and combined with the Second Mizukage's Infinite Blast Ninjutsu, he tried to suppress the tree man that Aramaki had transformed into.

The biggest advantage of the Impure World Reincarnation is the almost unlimited chakra. Even after fighting three fierce battles, when even Minato, who had been slacking off the whole time, had to start saving chakra, the Impure World Ninjas can still use advanced ninjutsu without any scruples.

At the same time, the Second Kazekage, under the control of Minato, drove the quicksand and began to dig on the ground.

Huangmu's real body is hidden hundreds of meters underground, and it is not easy to find him.

"Tsk, have we been discovered..."

At this time, the real body of Aramaki who was hiding underground suddenly opened his eyes. Since he obtained the Sen Sen Fruit, Namikaze Minato was the first enemy who not only guessed his abilities but also found his real body.

Huang Mu rarely fights his enemies to the death, and it is rare that he wants to kill a specific person.

However, to be on the safe side, Huangmu chose to move his main body first.

For Huangmu, nothing is more important than his life. After all, only living people can realize their ideals.

However, this excessive obsession with life weakened Huangmu's spirit, even though with his fruit ability and qualifications, he theoretically has the qualifications to join the top powerful club.

But when Huang Mu faces a true top-level powerhouse, that lack of courage is bound to become his biggest flaw!

Huangmu is well aware of this, but if he is asked to fight against powerful enemies in order to improve his strength, Huangmu would rather continue to be a "coward".

Minato, who was maintaining the barrier, soon realized that Aramaki's real body was moving. The way the Second Kazekage controlled the excavation of sand and gravel could obviously not keep up with the speed of Aramaki's real body.

"Who are those guys?"

Jin, who initially thought that Minato was a little overconfident, suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with Minato's helpers.

The Impure World Ninjas, who were obviously not living people in Jinn's perception, could not only continue to fight with the tree people alive and well, but also showed quite impressive fighting power. Even Jack might not be their opponent!

The most outrageous thing is that these people are all immortal. Jin has seen more than once that the Impure World Ninjas were blown into pieces by the Tree People, but they recovered and continued to fight not long after.

Even the zombie army created by Moriah that was defeated by Brother Kaido back then is no different from toys compared to these monsters.

"Sorry, I can't tell."

Minato smiled bitterly with some helplessness. Although there was no sealing technique in the pirate world that could target the Impure World Reincarnation, as a Konoha ninja, Minato would not easily leak information about Konoha Village's forbidden techniques to outsiders.

"Tsk, your rules are really troublesome. Why not just change jobs... Your rules don't forbid others from helping you, right?"

If it weren't for the fact that he particularly liked Minato, given Jin's personality, he would have turned around and left by now.

"Of course not! That tree is just controlled by the enemy's clone. If possible, please help me delay time. I will find the enemy's real body as soon as possible!"

Minato had no intention of arguing with King about the importance of intelligence. When it came to being able to secure a strong teammate, it wasn't a bad thing to be flexible.

"Isn't that the real body? He is indeed a difficult guy..."

Jhin frowned, opened his arms, transformed back into the form of a Pteranodon, and flew into the sky.

Against such a huge enemy, the human form's attack seemed a bit weak. Even if Minato just asked him to help delay time, King, who was determined to perform well so as to persuade Minato to join the Beasts Pirates later, was ready to go all out.

Although according to King's observation Haki, Aramaki's threat level is close to that of Big Brother Kaido, but a mere clone is not enough to make King, the leader of the Three Calamities, have concerns.

"You bunch of vile pirates! Die!"

At this time, the huge tree man transformed by Huangmu had already smashed the rock statue summoned by the second generation Tsuchikage. Even the third generation Raikage who had just recovered was crushed into pieces again by the tree man's big hands.

Seeing this scene, Jhin did not retreat. Instead, he swooped down from the sky at an astonishing speed. His strong wings were like a sharp knife, cutting off the tree man's arm with great force.

Unfortunately, such an attack could not cause any substantial damage to the tree man, and the severed arm of the tree man quickly grew back.

Huangmu, who can absorb nutrients from the soil infinitely, is almost "unsolvable" as long as he stands on the ground. No matter how many times he destroys the body of the tree man, as long as Huangmu is willing, he can keep fighting.

"What a troublesome opponent..."

Seeing the tree man's arms growing quickly back to their original shape, Jhin couldn't help but reveal an ugly expression on his face.

While King and Minato were joining forces to deal with Aramaki, on the other side of the battlefield, unlike Cyborg Sora and Esdeath who were competing in acting skills, the battle between Iron Fist Ryulu and Kaido entered a white-hot state from the very beginning.

Iron-fisted Liu Luo was determined to defeat his opponent as quickly as possible so that he could free up his hands to rescue the army that had suffered heavy casualties.

However, Kaido is not someone to be trifled with, especially after realizing Iron-Fist Ryuluo's intentions. Kaido, feeling underestimated, became furious.

It just so happened that Kaido's personality changed again at this time. In his furious state, Kaido finally showed his demeanor as the "strongest creature on land, sea and air".

He just beat the Army General to a pulp. If Iron-Fisted Ryuluo wasn't also a standard "meat shield", he might have been stunned by Kaido.
