Naruto : Minato back to the past

"Boom!"

The violent tremor swept across the entire Konoha and lasted for a long time.

At this moment, no matter where the ninjas or civilians were in the village, they could clearly see the particularly violent ripples in the barrier covering the entire Konoha.

Under this earthquake-like wave, many houses in Konoha were crushed, but no civilians or ninjas were accidentally injured.

One reason is that 80% of the people in the village were transferred to the shelter in time.

There was a barrier set up around the shelter to deal with unexpected situations. Although the shock wave was violent, it was not enough to shake the foundation of the barrier.

The second is that Tsunade controlled the slug's clones to protect almost everyone in the village.

Under the protection of Katsuyu's body, even if someone was unfortunately hit by the debris of a collapsed house, they would be safe.

Finally, the violent shaking gradually subsided, and at this time the giant bowl-shaped barrier covering Konoha was already covered with cracks and was about to collapse.

However, this force, which was enough to destroy the entire Konoha, was blocked by the barrier.

"Haah..."

At this time in the center of Konoha, Minato looked extremely tired and his breathing was extremely heavy.

In order to protect the village, he had almost exhausted all the chakra in his body.

Now, he couldn't even activate the Flying Thunder God Technique to move himself.

Minato raised his eyes and sensed the black-robed man who was floating in the air and whose chakra fluctuations were rapidly weakening.

There was a hint of joy in those deep blue eyes.

His tightly clasped hands also loosened.

"Click."

The moment Minato released the seal, the shattered barrier that covered the entire Konoha suddenly began to collapse, and the black lines that permeated the entire Konoha disappeared completely in a very short time.

"Haha, he is worthy of being the Fourth Hokage to be able to do this."

At the moment when the black lines under Minato's feet disappeared, a light laugh suddenly came from the air in front of him.

Minato suddenly raised his eyes, with a slightly gloomy expression.

As the space twisted in a vortex, the masked man appeared in front of him.

"Sure enough, your real purpose is not to destroy Konoha, but to weaken me," Minato said calmly without any surprise.

"As expected of you, have you seen through it?"

The masked man laughed again, then said sarcastically: "But, what does it matter if you know? It's still happened, in order to protect this village, all your strength has been used up."

In his eyes, Minato is now just an ant that can be easily controlled.

"Indeed," Minato said.

"No matter how powerful a person is, he has his weaknesses, so I'm sorry."

"This time, I win!"

As soon as the masked man finished speaking, his hand suddenly reached out to grab the shoulder of Minato who was squatting in front of him.

The Minato in front of him was completely unable to fight back!

However, just as his hand was about to rest on Minato's shoulder, Minato's eyes, which had been dim to the extreme, suddenly regained their spirits.

"Thunk!"

The hand that was grabbing Minato suddenly stopped, because at this moment, a specially made kunai pierced his left chest.

The masked man suddenly lowered his eyes and met Minato's eyes filled with murderous intent.

"How is that possible!? You obviously have no chakra left!!"

An unbelievable sound came out of his mouth, because while he was talking to Minato just now, he carefully sensed the latter's current condition.

It's impossible for him to still have such speed!

"When you use your ability to attack others, you must materialize yourself, right?"

However, the fact was right in front of him, and Minato once again tightly grasped the handle of the kunai, with sharp wind-style chakra attached to it.

However, the masked man finally reacted, and when Minato tried to force again, his body became intangible again, and the latter's force failed and went straight through his body.

"Woosh!"

Just when Minato's body completely penetrated the masked man's body, suddenly a light blue chakra glow surged, turning into a half-human form of Susanoo.

He wanted to trap Minato inside.

Swish!

But the next moment, Minato's figure disappeared from the spot and appeared at the street corner a few meters away, with his Flying Thunder God kunai inserted vertically at the corner.

After escaping, Minato turned around and looked at the masked man, his brows furrowed.

According to common sense, the attack I just made should have pierced his heart when he was completely unprepared.

So he should be in a dying state at this time, but how could he still have such powerful strength to release Susanoo?

"Why?"

The masked man also looked at Minato who escaped using the Flying Thunder God Technique with trembling eyes, unable to understand the current situation for a moment.

Minato murmured softly upon seeing this, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

He suddenly raised his hand, and in the palm of his hand, a deep blue chakra light condensed.

The masked man had been included in his kill list as soon as he recovered his memory.

What's more, this time he tried to restrain him using Kushina, or even the entire Konoha.

If it weren't for the support of the Nine-Tails' power in his body, he would not have been able to completely protect Konoha this time and would have fallen into his trap.

No matter what, he would not let him go easily.

Swish!

Minato moved and came in front of the masked man, and a blue chakra ball blasted towards him.

But there is no doubt that it still penetrated.

Through many battles with him, Minato observed that the masked man was much slower when making himself intangible than when absorbing others.

And even if the previous attack didn't take his life directly, he should be at the end of his strength at this moment.

As long as he keeps doing this until his eye power and chakra are exhausted, he won't be able to use any abilities no matter how powerful they are.

"What's going on?"

At this moment, the man in the black robe who was slowly descending from the sky keenly observed the sudden situation.

The Fourth Hokage, whose chakra should have been exhausted, seemed to be attacking the masked man with extremely fast speed and high intensity.

The latter's chakra fluctuations had become somewhat weak at this time. Even he might not be able to hold on for too long.

"Damn it, is this a failure?"

The man in the black robe gritted his teeth. As he got closer and closer to the ground, in his sight, the Third Hokage, Hatake Sakumo and others were quickly rushing towards where Minato and the masked man were.

In their current state, if they were really surrounded by these people, they would definitely be defeated!

Immediately, the man in the black robe gave up his ability to float in the air, and his body fell down at a very fast speed.

"It's that guy!"

At this time, Hatake Sakumo and the others who were moving forward also noticed the black-robed man falling rapidly from the sky.

The man in the black robe coughed lightly, and blood actually flowed from the corner of his mouth.

He glanced sideways slightly, then wiped the corner of his lips with his right thumb, smearing blood on it.

He suddenly formed seals with his hands and a low roar came from his throat.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

"Outer Path Gedo Statue!"
