Naruto : Minato back to the past

"It actually blocked my Dojutsu. What a strong eye power!"

This was the first time his eye technique had been blocked by someone since he opened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

To accomplish such a thing, one would need stronger pupil power than one's own.

Each of the Mangekyō Sharingan's eye techniques represents power, but this power comes at a price.

After using eye techniques continuously, Uchiha Yoruki's vision clarity was gradually decreasing.

But the masked man has been using more powerful eye techniques than himself, so his condition should be worse than his.

After blocking an attack for Hiruzen, Minato retreated to Hiruzen's side.

"This guy's pupil power is strong ."

Hiruzen kept muttering, having clearly seen the eye power confrontation between the masked man and Uchiha Yoruki.

According to common sense, although the Mangekyō Sharingan has different pupil powers due to different levels of development, the gap is not so big that it cannot be bridged.

Judging from Uchiha Yoruki's appearance, he should have been defeated in the battle of eye power.

But even if the masked man won, it would be impossible for him to use Susanoo so stably.

Whether it's the space-time ninjutsu that is more advanced than Flying Thunder God, or Susanoo, it should consume a lot of eye power.

This was something that even Madara could not have avoided before that incident.

Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he heard it from the First and Second Hokage, so it couldn't be wrong.

Unless his eyes are no longer ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan.

Thinking of this, Hiruzen's heart trembled violently.

In the history of the Uchiha, only Madara should have such eye power.

Eye power strong enough to rival that of the God of Ninja, the First Hokage.

Obviously, this masked man has not reached Madara's level, otherwise, he would be able to sweep through Konoha by himself without any help.

"Third Hokage, could you please tell me all the information you have about Susanoo?" Minato frowned, saying that when he and the masked man fought before, the latter had never used this kind of power.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to defeat him in one round with just the Flying Thunder God Stage 2 technique.

Hiruzen nodded and said, "Susanoo is the ultimate eye technique contained in the Mangekyō Sharingan. It is a third ability that can only be used when the pupil power of both eyes is brought to its extreme at the same time."

"As far as I know, Susanoo is divided into several stages, and with each step forward, its power increases exponentially."

Even Hiruzen had never seen Susanoo with his own eyes.

"It's really troublesome."

Minato frowned and asked, "But even with the Mangekyō Sharingan, if you use this eye technique continuously, it shouldn't be able to last too long."

"This is what surprises me. Even after using this kind of ninjutsu that requires huge consumption of eye power continuously, that guy doesn't seem to have much burden," Hiruzen said in a deep voice.

"Bang!"

Just as the two were communicating, a huge cloud of smoke suddenly spread out from Konoha.

Minato looked slightly to the side and saw the huge slug-like creature standing in Konoha. It was Tsunade's summoning beast, Katsuyu.

"Crash!"

The next moment, the huge slug shrank in size as if it was dissolving.

But looking closely, you could see more and more small slugs appearing next to the main slug that was getting smaller and smaller.

That is Katsuyu's unique ability, the splitting technique, which can continuously split into independent individuals according to the summoner's chakra level.

And every slug has the ability to heal.

The slugs of different sizes quickly spread out in all directions.

Not long after, a slug also arrived at the battlefield where Minato and the others were.

"Katsuyu, what happened?" Hiruzen asked immediately.

The slug replied, "Tsunade-sama was unable to temporarily remove the poisonous gas in Konoha, so she summoned me and asked me to wrap up the civilians and ninjas to evacuate them."

"Is it a poison that even Lady Tsunade can't cure?"

Minato murmured, looking sideways at Sasori of the Red Sand who was fighting with Hatake Sakumo.

It seems that after being defeated by me that time, this most outstanding genius in the history of Sunagakure has grown so fast.

But the stronger he is, the greater the threat he poses to Konoha.

"As expected of one of the Three Sannin, you actually have this method."

Sasori frowned. He had asked himself about the new type of poison he had developed, believing even Tsunade would not be able to find a way to counter it in a short time.

But she had another way to protect the civilians of Konoha.

"What are you going to do next?"

At this time, a slight smile appeared on Sasori's face, and he said something to the masked man.

The latter's expression beneath the mask also changed slightly.

His plan was to use everyone in Konoha to wear down Minato.

So far, in order to neutralize their attacks, Minato has paid a huge price in terms of chakra.

But this is not enough. However, the initiative is still in their hands. Because of Sasori's poisonous fog, the civilians of Konoha cannot enter the shelter smoothly.

But with Katsuyu's help, most people in Konoha will be protected in a short period of time, and the method of wearing down Minato by constantly changing the battlefield will become meaningless.

If they were to fight head-on, even if their strength was not much inferior to Konoha's, they would definitely not be able to kill Minato.

Then all plans would be meaningless.

However, the plan to attack Konoha was something "they" had planned for a long time, so any variables were taken into consideration.

The masked man glanced sideways at the man in the black robe beside him.

"There's no other choice but to use that."

Upon hearing this, the black-robed man's eyes flickered slightly, and then he nodded.

However, he turned his eyes to Minato and said with some doubt: "Even if it is him, it is unlikely that he can withstand this move, right?"

"It doesn't matter. He will definitely do his best to protect these people. When that happens, it will be our chance."

The masked man grinned sinisterly. He knew Minato Namikaze too well.

But this time, even he could not save everyone, and could not save Konoha!

"After using this move, I won't be able to use my abilities for a period of time, so when the time comes, you will need to take action to eliminate him."

The black-robed man said. When he finished speaking, his body slowly floated up.

"You actually know how to fly?"

Seeing this, the Third Hokage and Minato's faces became even gloomier. Just as they were about to stop the black-robed man from taking off, the light blue Susanoo let out a low roar.

"Roar!"

As the roar fell, Susanoo's body was completely covered with armor. The powerful force even pushed away the air around it!
