Chapter 262 Try your best
“What happened?”

The violent vibration coming from the sky not only alarmed many villagers of Konoha, but also Tsunade who was busy with official business in the Hokage’s office.

Although the war situation on all sides has been progressing smoothly during this period, the things waiting for her to solve have increased instead of decreased. At the same time, she was a little worried because Sawara Kiri had left Konoha. At this time, she noticed the noise coming from outside, and immediately stood up from her desk and asked loudly to the Anbu outside the window.

“Master Fourth, it seems that there is movement coming from Chaldea.”

The Anbu who appeared in front of Tsunade also had a hint of uncertainty in his tone, and pointed in the direction of the floating island in the center outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

Tsunade looked over there.

Due to the intervention of Orochimaru and Sawara Kiri, she knew very little about the details there. She only knew that the experiments being conducted there were extremely dangerous.

At this moment, seeing such a big noise, even his brows couldn’t help but twisted into a knot.

Then, she pressed a button on the table without hesitation and asked loudly:
“Orochimaru, report the situation!”

There was a slight rustling sound from the radio due to electromagnetic interference. After a while, Orochimaru’s hoarse voice sounded from the other side of the microphone, and his tone was as calm as always:
“The situation is under control.”

“In about three minutes, a long-range attack will be launched in the direction set by Jiraiya.”

“Remember to send a consolation notice to the village.”

Hearing this, Tsunade’s beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and she grabbed the microphone and said loudly and hurriedly:
“Hey, what do you mean by long-range attack? What happened to Jiraiya? How much have you (*Konoha swear words*) been hiding from me—”

“Click.”

Unfortunately, as if he had predicted her thoughts, Orochimaru hung up the phone before she could finish her words.

Only Tsunade was left, her veins bulging with anger.

These two bastards!!

The expression of the ANBU lady standing quietly at the side was tense under the mask, but out of duty, she still asked in a low voice: “Fourth-generation master, what about the appeasement forecast?”

“Do as he says!”

Tsunade said unhappily, “You didn’t even bother to notify us in advance, and caused such a big commotion.”

After saying that, she did not return to her seat, but walked straight to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the floating island in the sky in the distance that was as huge as a mountain.

She wanted to see what this “long-range attack” was all about, and how these two guys had hidden it so deeply.

The Anbu behind him immediately received the order to leave.

After just a short while, the vibration sound covering the entire village suddenly fell silent, and from the dragon vein transfer formation at the bottom of the floating island that was used to support its existence, a burst of light suddenly burst out towards the sky, all of which penetrated towards the direction of the Chaldea floating island.

All the villagers in Konoha stopped what they were doing and raised their heads in the direction of the glow. They looked up at the column of light that rolled back like a waterfall, and ignored the Konoha-wide broadcast that was ringing in their ears, as if even their minds were being absorbed into the dazzling stream of light.

The next moment, it seemed that the charging was completed.

A portion of the island located in the center of the side of the entire Chaldea Floating Island was splitting apart to both sides at a speed that seemed slow but was actually fast, revealing a huge, black gun muzzle.

The low humming sound like an earthquake wave sounded again, but it was not as harsh as the beginning.

The colorful colors continue to converge and absorb towards the center.

It seemed as if a second sun rose in the sky of Konoha.

suddenly.

“Om-“

The sudden rise in the buzzing sound caught everyone’s attention.

A mottled, colorful rainbow bridge suddenly rushed out from the muzzle, spanning the entire sky of Konoha, and outlining an endless brilliance at the farthest point in sight.

Straight into the edge of heaven and earth.

I don’t know where it’s heading to.

It was not until a long time later that the villagers of Konoha present calmed down. Almost subconsciously, they confided the shock of that moment to the people around them, known or unknown, and the entire street and rooftops looked in a mess.

Tsunade stood quietly on the top of the Hokage Building, with her hands behind her back, looking at the light stream in the distance, feeling indescribable astonishment in her heart.

Then, he gritted his teeth and whispered:

“These two bastards”

There was such a huge and lethal weapon hidden in the village, and she, as the Hokage, didn’t even know about it.

I’ve really been sidelined, huh?!
On the other side, the fire and thunder fronts intersected.

“withdraw!”

Jiraiya only left this sound before shooting out towards the battle group behind him.

As for the positioning token thrown from his hand, it was suspended in the air as if frozen.

“Don’t even think about running away!”

The Fourth Raikage had already noticed Jiraiya’s movements, and was about to rush towards him while shouting.

At the same time, although he didn’t know what the token-shaped talisman was for, after seeing Jiraiya’s action, he couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

However, just as his figure flew out from the spot, he saw a special kunai wrapped in wind jutsu, which shot into the soil in front of him beyond the ordinary people’s prediction.

Ai’s eyes shifted accordingly.

Immediately afterwards, the figure of Minato Namikaze flashed out in front of him.

The space-time Rasengan in his hand turned into a light arrow, wrapped in twisted ripples, and blasted straight in his direction, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

The Fourth Raikage’s footsteps paused for a moment, and a flash of jade suddenly appeared between his brows.

The violent distortion of space and time once again slid along the surface of his body.

However, there was no surprise in Minato Namikaze’s eyes. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly and paid attention to his footsteps.

‘Do I have to stay in place when using this move?’

However, this thought only flashed through my mind.

Regardless of whether the opponent needs to stay in place to use this move, the difference is not that big considering the Fourth Raikage’s extreme speed.

Sure enough, after just a brief pause, he roared, and the tailed beast chakra wrapped around his body suddenly surged. His whole body was burning with blazing chakra light like flames, and his speed was even faster than the previous second. He put his giant palm in his hand and pointed it into a knife, and swung it towards Minato Namikaze without hesitation.

“laugh–“

With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, his hand knife almost tore a clear path along Minato Namikaze’s cheek.

Relying on his extraordinary nerve reaction, Minato slightly tilted his body, and then without hesitation stuck to Ai’s inner circle, holding the special kunai upside down with his palm turned over. The highly compressed wind-style chakra wrapped around the tip of the kunai could be faintly seen, and it stabbed straight upwards.

The Raikage did not dodge or evade, but instead crashed into his kunai like a giant tank spewing steam.

Just by touching the chakra of the tailed beast on the surface of his body, the tip of the kunai in Minato’s hand was like piercing a copper wall and an iron wall, making a “clang” sound.

But he remained tenacious, and took advantage of the huge force to take a step back, crouching to avoid the opponent’s elbow, then took a step forward and slid along the opponent’s thigh along the height difference between the two of them, stabbing again with the sword in his hand.

If you look from a distance, you can see that the two people fighting at this moment are almost like dancing, piercing each other at a speed that is difficult for ordinary people to capture with the naked eye.

One is rushing forward while the other is fluttering like a butterfly.

Only from the aftermath of the accidental swings between the two, which easily flattened the surrounding giant coniferous forests, could one see the thrill and fierceness of the close combat between them.

“Zheng!”

There was another collision between the katana and the kunai. The Raikage’s body was so strong that it didn’t seem like a human.

However, as he was dragged here at this moment, he felt more and more anxious.

No matter how many people are left behind in the Konoha headquarters, as long as Jiraiya has not died here, Konoha’s front line will never be easily broken.

What’s more, there is a talisman in the sky whose purpose is unknown.

Because of this, the look he gave the golden flash in front of him became even more unfriendly.

He suddenly stopped until the two sides separated again.

“Golden flash.” “Do you think that this level of attack can stop me?”

The Fourth Raikage’s voice was dull and indifferent, but it also contained a hint of determination.

Originally, he wanted to save some of the Gyu-ki’s chakra and use it when he attacked Konoha’s front line.

But now that the situation has come to this, there is nothing left to hold back.

Namikaze Minato’s expression tightened.

as predicted.

Almost at the moment the words fell, the extremely dense tailed beast chakra that was already coiled around the Fourth Raikage’s body immediately reached a new level.

The long chakra tail that had been vaguely illusory before suddenly condensed into a solid entity, turning into a thicker and larger octopus tail. At the same time, its size also suddenly began to expand.

With a loud bang, smoke exploded and a monster that expanded hundreds of times in one breath stood abruptly in the center of the short coniferous forest.

Just the torso that looks like a minotaur is over a hundred meters long.

Standing in front of him with his ordinary body, Minato Namikaze looked as small as an ant.

“I told you to do this a long time ago, Ai!”

The arrogant voice of Niu Gui rang out from his mouth: “He wants to stop the two of us with just one person, does he think he is Sawara Kiri?!”

“Please, Ushio!”

The will of the Fourth Raikage spoke: “This time, we must not let Jiraiya and the others get away!”

“Leave it to me!”

The moment he heard this voice, Minato Namikaze’s mind suddenly tightened.

There was no time to react, and his figure rushed out from where he was faster than he could think.

The next moment, a long tail like a train was seen dancing wildly across the coniferous forest.

The huge tree, which was as thick as a dozen people could hug, became as fragile as a blade of grass under the powerful force of the long tail and was easily crushed to pieces.

Minato Namikaze’s figure kept moving along the coordinates of the Flying Thunder God Technique, and he looked at the huge monster in front of him with an urgent expression, and couldn’t help clenching his teeth.

“We have to hold on until the teachers and the others leave to a safe distance.”

At the same time, his peripheral vision was also glancing at the talisman floating high in the sky.

‘Is this thing really as useful as the teacher said?’

In contrast to his tense posture was the wild dance of the Eight-tailed Ushiki.

When facing humans in the form of a tailed beast, he doesn’t even have to think about how to cause harm.

Every punch, every kick, and even just the aftermath of the attack, was enough to crush them to pieces easily.

His body kept rushing around in the direction of Minato Namikaze’s movement, but this overly flexible little thing made him a little annoyed.

“Niugui, large-scale attack!”

“Leave it to me!”

After realizing that it would be difficult to hit the opponent with conventional attacks, Niu Gui grinned.

Ever since he was killed and resurrected by Sawara Kiri last time, these little guys in Konoha have become a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his side. He doesn’t care even if they slightly unite with the guys from Kumogakure.

The next moment, he suddenly clenched his fists, standing above the ground like a pillar of heaven, with his huge bull-headed mouth opened, heading straight towards the direction where Minato Namikaze was escaping.

The gushing chakra continued to condense, forming a ball in a ratio of yin and yang of two to eight.

Finally, it converged into an extremely gloomy black.

“Tailed Beast Ball! Continuous Blast!”

Looking at the chakra singularity that was constantly condensing in the distance, Namikaze Minato immediately stopped, with the special kunai in his hand stretched out, pointing directly in the direction where the Tailed Beast Ball came from.

“The Flying Thunder God Guides Thunder!”

The circular sealing spell suddenly expanded into the void.

follow closely.

“Boom, boom, boom, boom—!!!”

A series of smaller tailed beast balls were continuously ejected in his direction like rapid-fire bullets, suddenly creating a huge barrage of bullets.

All the surrounding trees were swept down by the violent gale. The accuracy was not very precise, but it was a real covering attack, which easily swept away all the Flying Thunder God coordinates that he had left around in advance.

The pitch-black tailed beast ball smashed into the sealing technique he had set up in advance like a tidal wave, and was transferred to one distant coordinate after another along the space seal coordinates, forming a bunch of explosion points that bloomed like mushrooms, and there were bursts of continuous explosions in his ears.

If there was only one person participating in the battle, Minato Namikaze might have chosen not such a clumsy tactic.

But unfortunately, his main purpose was not to survive, but to delay the evacuation time for everyone.

However, no matter how skilled Minato is at space and sealing techniques, his chakra is limited.

Continuously moving such a huge amount of chakra clusters was extremely difficult, even for him.

As the Sealing Style continued to receive the Tailed Beast Balls, more and more cold sweat slid down his cheeks.

But
‘not enough! ’

Minato Namikaze clenched his teeth and his eyes were determined.

“Die for me!”

Along with the arrogant roar of the Ushi-ki, a Tailed Beast Ball that was several times larger than the previous one suddenly condensed.

However, before the blow could be fired from his mouth.

For some reason, his movements suddenly paused.

Namikaze Minato’s expression froze and he looked in his direction in confusion.

Then, a mottled rainbow bridge was reflected in my eyes, as if it crossed the sky from who knows how many kilometers away, tearing the sky apart.

‘What is that?’

Whether it was Niu Gui or the Fourth Raikage, they couldn’t help but have this somewhat confused thought in their minds at this moment.

Almost subconsciously, the Niu Gui suddenly raised his head and launched the final blow that had been prepared for release towards the direction of the rainbow bridge.

However, the tailed beast ball that collided with the rainbow bridge was like foam piercing an iron rod.

The moment it touched, it was crushed by the extremely terrifying dragon vein chakra, and then continued to penetrate out with the talisman coordinates as the center.

The Fourth Raikage stared at the sky with his eyes wide open, and suddenly shouted loudly:
“Ushiki, lend me all your chakra!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Four Souls Jade fragment at the center of his brows began to shine at its maximum intensity.

There is no way to avoid it, and no way to resist it.

You can only try your best to survive.

Instead, Minato suddenly smiled when he saw this scene.

Suddenly, his figure disappeared.

Only the huge body of the bull ghost was left standing there, roaring, trying its best to withstand the blow that crossed the sky.

“Boom-“

Even though they were hundreds of kilometers away, the ground beneath their feet shook violently for a moment as if a heavy hammer was hitting a drum.

Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction where the vibration came from.

The rising dust spreads across the sky and earth.
