SWNOVELXO Chapter 77: Ending
Minato Namikaze teleported home using the Flying Thunder God Technique and gently placed his wife in his arms next to the newborn Naruto.
The weak Kushina reached out and stroked Naruto's cheek, her eyes full of reluctance.
Watching this scene, Minato Namikaze clenched his fists so tightly that even his nails pierced into his flesh.
He walked to the clothes rack without saying a word, put on the Konoha ninja vest, and put on the Hokage robe with the words Fourth Hokage written on it on the outside.
"Minato…" Kushina called softly.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
… … …
Shiratori breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Hiruzen Sarutobi acquiesced to the Uchiha Clan's participation in the war.
Sure enough, what the old man said was right. As long as it did not touch the other party's bottom line, the Third Hokage would choose the safest way to deal with it and would even enthusiastically help and smooth things over afterward.
It's just… The other party didn't seem to hear clearly just now; what Shiratori said was not that they were stopped by root ninjas but that they were stopped by spies disguised as root ninjas.
Since they are spies, then…
Hiruzen Sarutobi could never have imagined that the little brat Shiratori was so bold… That he killed a ninja from the same village!
As the nine-tails attacked again, all the Konoha ninjas present were ready.
The Uchiha Jonin did not gather together but ran in all directions according to Shiratori's instructions.
They would fight side by side with other Konoha ninjas to make sure everyone saw their efforts.
"Here it comes!"
The crazy nine-tails stretched out its claws and slapped everyone. Hiruzen Sarutobi swung the Adamantine Nyoi and collided head-on with the nine-tails.
Bang!
He stepped back a few steps, feeling like his old bones were about to fall apart. Taking this opportunity, Shiratori jumped onto a roof near the nine-tails, and a huge amount of Chakra gathered in his body.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!"
He spewed a torrent of blazing flames diagonally upwards, making sure it wouldn't affect the residential area below, and since the nine-tail was so big, there was no need to aim.
Boom!!
The huge wave of flames was like a waterfall flowing backward, swallowing up the entire upper body of the nine-tail!
"Roar!"
The nine-tail roared in pain, and even the fur on its body seemed to be burnt.
As Shiratori made his move, all the ninjas present dodged the nine-tails's devastating attack while launching a fierce bombardment at it.
It seems like… There's a chance?
Some ninjas suddenly became optimistic.
But it turns out that they thought too much…
"Damn… insects!!!"
The aftermath of the ninjutsu was dispersed, and the nine-tails, which had been baptized by ninjutsu for several minutes, was unharmed, and its eyes became even more ferocious and angry!
It stomped the ground heavily, shaking everything around it, including many Konoha ninjas, into the sky.
Yashiro Uchiha is among these unlucky guys…
He fell to the ground from mid-air, and before he could even care about his butt, he saw nine-tail claws enlarging in front of his eyes!
"I-"
At the critical moment, Shiratori appeared at Yashiro's side and kicked the latter away!
"Ahh! My butt!" Yashiro, who was in the air, covered his butt and cried out in pain.
"What the hell! You almost lost more than your butt!"
After Shiratori had rescued Yashiro in time, he suddenly jumped to the side and avoided the giant claw of the nine-tails that had fallen from the sky.
But the power of this attack… It was still beyond his imagination.
Boom!!
The shock wave blew him away, and the overwhelming dust engulfed his figure. At this time…
"Uchiha…"
Hearing Kyūbi's voice, Shiratori suddenly shuddered.
A huge tail broke through the rising dust and swept towards Shiratori!
"Fuck!"
Shiratori's eyes narrowed, and he decisively activated all his defenses since he was in mid-air and couldn't dodge.
With his arms crossed in front of him, his muscles tensed, he activated the Senju Hidden Jutsu with all his strength…
He even secretly opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, and at the moment when the nine-tail fox's tail collided with his body, the golden ribs protected his body!
Bang!!
Boom!
Shiratori was hit hard by the giant tail and flew away, his body smashing countless houses.
After dealing with this somewhat strange Uchiha brat, the nine-tails, scarlet eyes turned in the direction of the Hokage rock.
On the rooftop of a building, Hiruzen Sarutobi saw the look in Kyūbi's eyes, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat…
"Konoha… Hashirama Senju… Mito Uzumaki… Madara Uchiha!"
There was unquenchable madness and hatred in the eyes of the nine-tail. It opened its mouth, and the violent Chakra fluctuations caused some perceptive ninjas to feel dizzy.
"This is… The Tailed Beast Ball!? Oh no, stop it!"
The nine-tails ignored the ninjutsu that was hitting it, and the Tailed Beast Ball… Took shape quickly!
It's over… Hiruzen Sarutobi looked ashen.
"Destroy it!"
A pitch-black spherical energy bomb shot out!
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
The Tailed Beast Ball, which was powerful enough to flatten the entire Konoha, strangely stopped in mid-air as a large net blocked it.
The Tailed Beast Ball was gradually wrapped and squeezed by the large net and finally disappeared on the spot.
Almost at the same time, a devastating explosion suddenly occurred outside Konoha, at an unknown distance away from the village, and the strong light illuminated the night sky.
Whoosh!
A figure appeared on the battlefield.
"Yes… The fourth Hokage!"
Minato Namikaze's face was as gloomy as water. He looked at the nine-tails that had caused great damage to the village: "Summoning Technique!"
Gamabunta's figure dropped from the sky and pressed the nine-tails under him.
"Gamabunta, please control the Kyūbi for a while."
"I… Will do my best."
The nine-tails fox, lying on the ground, turned its head and looked at the big toad that was using all its strength to press it under him. Violent Chakra fluctuations appeared again.
The second Tailed Beast Ball!
This time, when the Tailed Beast Ball was about to take shape, it suddenly opened its mouth wide and swallowed the Tailed Beast Ball in one gulp.
Just when Konoha was about to suffer the Tailed Beast Ball, the nine-tails… Disappeared.
Boom!
The distant sky lit up again.
The ninjas who were besieging the nine-tails stayed where they were. They looked at the devastated Konoha and knew that the Nine-tails rebellion was not over yet, but… The fourth Hokage had transferred the nine-tails out of Konoha.
The fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, is ready to solve the nine-tails problem alone!
"Minato…" Hiruzen Sarutobi stared blankly at the explosion in the distance.
He suppressed his anxiety and said to the elite ninjas surrounding him: "Over there! Let's go support the fourth Hokage!"
"Yes! Third Hokage!"
But the distance is too far, really… Is it still too late?
Hiruzen Sarutobi brought a large number of people to support, and Shiratori also crawled out from the ruins.
"It hurts so much!" He grimaced and limped as he walked.
His body is far from reaching its peak state. Even with the blood of the Senju, it is difficult for him to fight the tail beast in close combat…
Besides, even if they are adult Senju, no one can compete with the tailed beasts in strength…
Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi and others' receding backs, he knew that although the nine-tails rebellion had not yet ended, his part and that of the Uchiha Clan had already ended.
Even if the Mangekyō Sharingan is used, it is estimated that it will be difficult to save Minato and Kushina.
The price of the Reaper Death Seal is to sacrifice the soul to the Shinigami.
While the Jinchūriki that had the tail beast extracted from their body will experience a rapid loss of vitality to an unknown level.
His Haraedo would not be able to do anything about these two scenarios.
Besides, exposing the Mangekyō Sharingan during the nine-tails rebellion was not a wise thing to do…
