Chapter 322 Facing the Third Hokage
"To show my sincerity, I can hand over the body to you."
Upon hearing Yahiko's words, Sasori manipulated the puppet to fly to within three meters of Minato Namikaze, placed Kakashi's corpse on the ground, and then manipulated the puppet back to his side.
For Sasori, killing Kakashi was a way of settling accounts for the deaths of his parents, and he had no attachment to Kakashi's corpse.
The reason I brought the corpse was simply because I thought Kakashi was quite strong and wanted to transform him into a human puppet to increase the number of puppets.
Hyuga Hizashi had already activated his Byakugan, watching the puppet's movements and checking if the corpse had been tampered with.
Finding no problems, he said softly, "Everything is normal."
"Kakashi."
Minato Namikaze then stepped forward, gently lifted Kakashi's shoulders, and looking at Kakashi's young but pale face, Minato couldn't help but shed tears again.
This was partly a genuine expression of emotion, and partly a deliberate attempt to delay.
He hated the Akatsuki members, but they were too powerful. He wanted to wait for enough reinforcements before completely eliminating the enemy.
Mikami's eyes scanned his surroundings warily. His Sharingan detected tiny insects crawling on the ground, forming a fine web that surrounded them.
Mi Shou clasped his hands together, preparing to form a hand seal, and said coldly, "Leader, they're not behaving honestly."
The others also realized the Konoha ninja's intentions and prepared for battle. Yahiko asked one last question: "Want to make a deal? You have three seconds to think it over."
Seeing that he could not buy any more time, Minato Namikaze stopped crying and quickly entered battle mode, firing more than a dozen shuriken with both hands, mainly aimed at Yahiko and Nagato.
Other Konoha ninjas attacked simultaneously.
"Human Bomber!"
Akimichi Tou's body curled into a ball, spinning rapidly and expanding dramatically. When he flew above the Akatsuki members, he was almost taller than a building.
Beneath the human bomb tank, a huge shadow was formed, where Nara Suzaku manipulated several shadows to hide, ready to launch a sneak attack at any moment.
Shiro Aburame raised his hands, and nano-sized venomous insects rose from the ground, forming a ring of black clouds that surrounded the Akatsuki members. Then, they quickly contracted and swooped down on the Akatsuki members.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Nagato raised his hand to strike the massive ball of flesh that was hurtling towards him, intending to knock it away. However, after being attacked, the ball of flesh quickly disintegrated into countless insects.
"Insect clones?!"
Nagato was slightly surprised, then felt the ground shake violently as a real human bomb vehicle burst out of the ground. The powerful impact and the numerous rocks it kicked up affected all the Akatsuki members.
Mi Shou was preparing to use Water Release to attack the attacking insects, but was disturbed by the flying horizontal rock and worried that the huge fleshy ball would attack him, so he stopped the hand seals he was forming and decisively retreated in large strides, retreating more than ten meters until he came to a dry riverbed full of pebbles.
"Water Release: Water Chaos Waves!"
He spat out a powerful stream of water, knocking down a swarm of insects that were chasing him. As he looked around, he saw Orochimaru, Kakuzu, and Tetsuka nearby, but Yahiko, Nagato, and Sasori were nowhere to be seen.
"Another battlefield division; I wonder who our opponent will be this time."
"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"
Countless shuriken rained down from the sky, covering an area far exceeding the size of a football field, heading straight for Misato and his companions.
"Spirit Spell!"
Orochimaru summoned a giant python, which bent its body and blocked the attack in Orochimaru's hand.
Kakuzu was very close to Orochimaru, so he jumped to Orochimaru's side to avoid the shuriken attack.
Mi Shou and Tie Huo were too far apart to deal with each other independently.
"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall."
Misato used Water Release again, the swirling water sealing off the surrounding space and perfectly blocking the shuriken attack.
As soon as the water stopped flowing, five thick Vajra Ruyi Cudgels came crashing down on Mi Shou in succession.
These five sticks seemed to be controlled by someone, flexibly adjusting their posture in the air, making them extremely difficult to deal with.
Mikami retreated continuously, using his Sharingan's observational abilities to analyze the trajectory of the sticks. Although he successfully dodged the first four, the last one was already at his face and could not be dodged.
Misaki gathered chakra in his right fist and slammed it down hard on the stick.
With a bang, the stick turned into smoke, and Mi Shou's right fist turned purplish-blue. Mi Shou twitched his lips in pain.
"This stick is really powerful!"
Not only Mikami, but the other three were also chased and beaten with sticks. They quickly regrouped, with Orochimaru suffering the worst.
The ones who attacked others were clones of the Vajra Staff, but Orochimaru was personally dealt with by the Third Hokage, and his right arm was accidentally broken.
After glancing at Orochimaru's right arm, which was bent at an odd angle and even revealed white bones, Mikami turned to look at the Third Hokage who appeared in front of him.
"Lord Hokage, we don't care if you kill your disciple, but can you let us leave? Otherwise, we will kill you."
Orochimaru completely ignored the injury to his right arm and instead smiled at the Third Hokage.
"Teacher, these guys are terrifying. They could really kill you. Why don't you do as he says?"
The Orochimaru of this time is not the Orochimaru of more than ten years later, and the Third Hokage is no longer an old man.
Despite the long march, the third generation was still in high spirits, his well-developed muscles faintly visible beneath his black combat suit.
With his left hand gripping the Vajra Ruyi Cudgel stuck in the ground, the Third Generation said in a powerful voice, "Don't even think about helping your comrades. Today, none of you will escape!"
"Hmph, I happen to need a heart replacement. I wonder how good the Hokage's heart is."
Kakuzu launched the first attack.
Lightning Release: False Darkness!
The lightning spear thrust straight at the Third Generation, who quickly retreated.
"The Formation of Ten Thousand Serpents!"
Orochimaru spat out a large number of snakes, which spread like a carpet across the ground and rushed towards the Third Hokage.
Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!
As he retreated, the Third Hokage quickly formed hand seals, opened his mouth, and spat out a raging, dragon-like flame. Under the Third Hokage's control, the flames danced, burning everything in their path, sweeping away the swarm of snakes on the ground.
The snakes were instantly scorched into black particles that drifted away in the wind, leaving only charred marks on the ground.
Having wiped out the swarm of snakes, the Hokage rolled around and lashed out at Mikami and the others like a whip.
"Leave it to me! Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
Mi Shou took a step forward and stood in front of the group, forming hand seals to mobilize the chakra within his body, continuously creating a stream of water.
Like a waterfall cascading from the sky, the massive torrent of water, accompanied by a deafening roar, crashed directly into the flames.
Amidst the deafening roar, flames and water surged like clashing bulls, neither giving way, while intense steam rapidly filled the battlefield.
Suddenly, three shuriken pierced through the mist and shot towards the Third Hokage. The Third Hokage immediately abandoned maintaining his Fire Release technique, raised his Vajra Staff with his left hand, and blocked the shuriken.
Suddenly looking up, the Third Generation saw iron fire descending from the sky, raising his long sword with both hands to slash downwards.
choke!
The Third Hokage raised his Vajra Staff with both hands to block the long sword, but also saw a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan eyes.
In an instant, the Third Generation found that his arms and knees were pinned down by huge black wooden spikes, and then flames erupted from his body.
The moment the Third Hokage was shrouded in illusion, the ground in front of him cracked open, and a mass of earth grime burst forth, intertwining and twisting into a black spear that pierced towards the Third Hokage's heart.
