Konoha: Opening Binding Namikaze Minato

At this moment, the battle between Konoha and Iwagakure is intense.

Except for the "cat-and-mouse" battle between Yanmen's wooden clone and Onoki.

The battles between Orochimaru and Han, and Jiraiya and Lao Zi have entered a fierce stage, and the winner may be decided at any time.

Jiraiya, who had turned on the sage mode, had a slight upper hand. With the cooperation of the two toad sages, Lao Zi could only parry.

But this is only temporary. Firstly, Lao Zi, as a Jinchuuriki, is famous for being thick-skinned and thick-skinned, and he can be completely defeated in a short time; secondly, Jiraiya's Sage Mode time is limited, even with Fukasaku,

Shima and the two toad sages helped extract the senjutsu chakra, but they could only prolong the process a little longer.

Therefore, Jiraiya seems to be at the upper hand now, but as time goes by, he will slowly fall into a disadvantage, and may even be dragged to death by Lao Zi, who has unlimited chakra.

Of course, this is when Jiraiya refuses to retreat.

If you really want to run away, a shadow-level strongman will not die so easily unless the gap is too big.

Looking at Orochimaru again, after undergoing software transformation, he is indeed more capable of restraining those with strong physical skills, but the opponent also has more than just physical skills, so the two sides can be said to be evenly matched.

Even if Orochimaru is defeated by accident, his life will probably not be in danger. After all, he is very professional in saving lives.

The wooden clone saw these situations in his eyes. Although he also wanted to help, Ohnoki chased him very closely. He did not give Ohnoki a chance to intervene in other battles, but the opponent also did not let him interfere in other battles.

Well, it's not like there's no chance at all. After all, he has the Flying Thunder God, but he may be a little more adventurous. If he's not careful, his clone may be hit.

And if he didn't contain Onoki here, the scale of victory would inevitably tilt towards Iwagakure.

After thinking again and again, the wooden clone decided to intervene.

It's not that he helped Orochimaru and Jiraiya, on the contrary, he had no intention of helping them because compared to them, others were more dangerous.

You must know that the number of ninjas on their side, even including grass ninjas, is less than 6,000 in total.

There were about seven thousand people at the beginning, but in the past few days, more than a thousand have been lost. Fortunately, a considerable number of these people who died were from Kusagakure, otherwise Konoha would have been in pain.

Looking at Iwagakure, they originally had more than 5,000 people, but later on, another 10,000 people were transferred directly from the village, and the number directly exceeded 15,000.

Although they have lost two to three thousand people during this period, which is almost twice as many casualties as Konoha's, their number is still twice that of Konoha.

Fortunately, the quality of the ninjas in Konoha is much higher than that of Iwagakure, otherwise the gap in numbers would be so huge that it would be impossible to fight.

The difference in numbers was not obvious when fighting in small groups, but now that the decisive battle has begun, the disadvantage is instantly highlighted.

At this time, Konoha was retreating steadily, and there were even grass ninjas who were defeated first, and some people couldn't help but run away.

Seeing this, the wooden clone knew that it was time for him to take action.

······

Soon, under the deliberate guidance of Mu's clone, he and Onomu gradually deviated from the main battlefield.

Seeing that there was already a distance between the main battlefield and the main battlefield, the wooden clone glanced at Ohnoki, and then used Flying Thunder God to instantly return to the main battlefield, where there were more Iwa ninjas, and then without saying a word, he quickly formed seals with his hands.

At this moment, Ohnoki had realized what the 'Fire Gate' was going to do. Of course, he couldn't just watch it, but it was too late to rush over, so he used Chen Escape again.

The two people completed their ninjutsu at the same time. The wooden clone clapped his hands and shouted:

"Wooden Release: The birth of the tree world!"

Rumble…

The ground continued to rise, and thick tree roots rose from the ground, densely packed, and rushed towards the surrounding rock ninjas crazily.

At the same time, a white laser came from the horizon, targeting the wooden clone standing in the middle of the sea of ​​trees.

The wooden clone had just released the Tree Realm Advent and had no time to react. He looked up and saw the white laser getting closer and closer to him, and time seemed to have stopped.

The next second, just when Ohnoki thought he was about to succeed, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Chen Dun.

"Psychic Technique·Five-Level Rashomon!"

With a rumble, in an instant, five ghost-like doors blocked Chen Dun's front.

At the same time, the shadow clone that had summoned the fifth-level Rashomon turned into a ball of smoke with a bang.

‘Yanmen’ curled up the corner of his mouth, joking, how could I not be prepared?

boom!

Even though the five-layered Rashomon Gate was summoned, it was still difficult to withstand the power of Dust Release. A hole appeared on each of the several portals, and they were all broken down into atoms by Dust Release.

However, when Chen Dun penetrated the fourth portal, the wooden clone had already recovered its strength, and then used the Flying Thunder God to leave the place again.

"Damn it!"

Seeing that his attack failed again, Onoki cursed angrily, and at the same time, sweat began to form on his forehead. From the beginning of the battle to now, he had used Dust Release several times in a row, and he had been fighting with the 'Fire Gate' for so long.

For a long time, his chakra was almost running out.

"Huhuhu..."

Onoki, floating in mid-air, gasped for air, his eyes filled with anger.

In just a short time, hundreds of Iwa ninjas have died under the influence of the tree world, and the casualties have not stopped yet!

The wooden clone still controls the tree world and continues to harvest the lives of the Iwa ninja.

Spending so much chakra is not just to kill a few hundred rock ninjas.

The sudden appearance of such a huge forest on the battlefield shocked everyone, especially the Iwa Ninja.

Konoha was ecstatic, great, that adult took action!

For a time, the morale of the Konoha ninjas was greatly boosted, as if they had been given a shot in the arm.

In the tree world, not only did the Konoha ninjas not suffer any harm, but if they encountered danger, the nearby trees would save them as if they had eyes.

The tree world continued to spread, and in an instant, a huge forest with a diameter of more than a hundred meters was formed. They were as high as several stories, and the thick tree roots were like giant pythons, constantly devouring the lives of Iwa Ninja.

If it weren't for the fact that the pollen in the Flower and Tree Realm doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, the Wood Clone would definitely have used this trick just now, but thinking that it would accidentally injure friendly forces, he had to use the Tree Realm to descend.

However, using the Tree Realm Birth and Summoning the Five-Level Rashomon one after another, most of the chakra in Kifen's body was consumed at once.

As a clone, he cannot refine chakra for recovery like his main body. What he consumes is consumed. When the chakra in his body is used up, he will dissipate.

Well, I can’t waste any more time.

Glancing at the furious Ohnoki, the wooden clone said secretly.

······

Subsequently, the wooden clone habitually opened Kagura's mind.

Ever since he got this talent from Kushina, Yanmen would always use it to sense his surroundings from time to time when he went out. Even if he was a clone, he still maintained this habit.

The next moment, the wooden clone showed an expression of surprise on his face.

That's...Tsunade's chakra?

About a few kilometers away from the battlefield, the wooden clone sensed Tsunade's chakra. Based on his familiarity with Tsunade, he was very sure.

Not only that, there are many people around Tsunade, and judging from the chakra in their bodies, they are not weak in strength.

Apparently, they brought all the ANBU directly under the Hokage.

Just as 'Yanmen' was thinking, Ohnoki had already rushed towards him with endless anger.

'Fire Gate' came to his senses instantly, and then quickly dodged. Tsunade was about to arrive, so she was holding him back first.

When Tsunade arrives, Onoki will most likely stop. After all, Iwagakure no longer has a fourth Kage level strongman to resist Tsunade.

And how much destructive power will a shadow-level powerhouse without anyone be able to resist cause? It’s huge!

Especially for a strong taijutsu type like Tsunade, an ordinary jounin can punch one punch at a time in front of Tsunade.

Time passed slowly, and several minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Finally, Tsunade arrived at the battlefield with an elite team.

Tsunade looked around, then rushed out, punching an Iwa nin into the ground and saving a Konoha ninja.

"Tsunade...Tsunade-sama?"

The man who was rescued looked at Tsunade blankly. He did not expect that Tsunade would suddenly appear here and rescue him. He originally thought that he would definitely die.

"Are you okay? Be careful."

Tsunade said something and then returned to fighting.

The elite team that came with her didn't waste any more nonsense and directly joined the battle.

With the addition of Tsunade and dozens of elite ninjas, the Iwa ninjas in this direction were quickly killed, causing a huge commotion and attracting everyone's attention.

Ohnoki took a moment to look down, his eyes almost popped out of his head.

"Nani? Why is Tsunade here? Didn't she succeed as Hokage today? She wasn't staying well in Konoha, why...appeared here suddenly?"

On the other side, Jiraiya and Orochimaru also saw Tsunade.

"Tsunade!" Jiraiya shouted in surprise.

Then he was kicked out by Lao Zi with a bang.

On his shoulder, Shima Sennin cursed: "Little Jiraiya, don't get excited, concentrate on fighting!"

"Oh oh."

After receiving a kick, Jiraiya quickly calmed down.

Orochimaru didn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, showing that he was in a good mood.

The Sannin of Konoha are gathered together again.

Although they are not joining forces to fight against the enemy, the relationship is not big.

Moreover, Tsunade's identity is now the Fourth Hokage of Konoha. Her arrival has greatly boosted the morale of all Konoha ninjas.

"kill!"

Everyone shouted excitedly, and then fought harder.

"How could this happen?" Onoki's expression became uncertain.

He originally wanted to give the newly appointed Tsunade a "big gift", but now the plan seems to be unable to keep up with the changes.

No one could have imagined that Tsunade, who had just become the Fourth Hokage, would rush to the battlefield without stopping. This is simply...

"Lord Tsuchikage, it seems that you have failed again this time." The wooden clone appeared not far from Onoki and said to him with his head raised.

Ohnoki looked down and saw the appearance of 'Yanmen', wishing he could kill him with a dust escape, but after thinking about it he gave up.

There's nothing you can do about it, you can't hit it.

Rather than wasting the few chakra in the body, it is better to keep it.

Onoki snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, Namikaze Flame Clan, you Konoha have all the masters now, aren't you afraid of being robbed?"

In Onoki's view, Konoha is at its most emptied of power at this time. Once someone is born to Konoha at this time, it will inevitably cause huge damage.

'Fire Gate' looked at Onoki with a smile and said: "I don't care about you, Lord Tsuchikage. Instead of worrying about us, it's better to worry about yourself. Compared with us, how much stronger can you Iwagakure be? Aren't you also a master?"

All out?"

Onoki said: "But we don't have as many enemies as you, and we, Iwagakure, have nothing worth worrying about. We are not as wealthy as Konoha, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is much more cost-effective to attack Konoha than Iwagakure.

"

"You can't say that. You Iwagakure have quite a few good things. Even if you are poor, you are richer than most villages."

"That's not as good as you Konoha."

"Since you know you can't compare, why don't you surrender quickly? If you continue to fight, you will only suffer greater losses."

"Haha, are you anxious? What, you Konoha can't hold it any longer? That's right, after all, after you beat Amegakure and Sunagakure, then Kirigakure, us and Kumogakure, tsk tsk tsk, the whole ninja world is

I was beaten once by you."

'Firemen' must admit that what Onoki said makes sense. Konoha is indeed about to be unable to support itself. It's not because of insufficient funds, but because of the insufficient number of ninjas.

As Onoki said, they have fought too many times in the past few years, and more than 10,000 ninjas have been sacrificed. This is with him around, otherwise...

You know, although the Second Ninja War and the Third Ninja War in the original work were fierce, there was a buffer zone of several years between the two wars.

Unlike now, the Third Ninja War broke out not even a month after the Second Ninja War ended, leaving no buffer time to train more ninjas.

Of course, Konoha's losses were great, and the losses of other villages were also not small. Nowadays, it is Kumogakure who has preserved the most strength. After all, Kumogakure did not participate in the Second Ninja War, so naturally there is no loss.

Needless to say, Sunagakure was immediately maimed. Moreover, he was currently playing cat and mouse with Hanzo in the desert and had no ability to intervene in other battles.

The same is true for Kirigakure. He was bloodbathed by the Enmen and has not recovered yet. As long as the Enmen is still alive, their shadow on Konoha may always be there.

Speaking of Iwagakure, their losses were not small. They participated in the Second Ninja War, which has continued until now. Adding up to the total, more than 5,000 ninjas died.

Of course, because Iwagakure doesn't have to face so many enemies like Konoha, the pressure on them is much less.

But at this moment, with the arrival of Tsunade, the Fourth Hokage, Konoha's focus will probably shift to Iwagakure. For this reason, Onoki has to start to calculate the gains and losses.

First of all, let’s be clear. Although this war was launched to contain Konoha, many of it was motivated by interests.

Because Konoha is the richest, the profit return from attacking Konoha is also the greatest.

Konoha is still the richest, but the difficulty and risk of obtaining benefits have increased a lot. As a qualified Tsuchikage, Onoki feels that he must reconsider his next plan from the perspective of profit.

Where should Iwagakure go?
