Naruto: Konoha's Kanpu

Chapter 971: Akatsuki's Invasion

Boom!!

With a dull collision sound, the wooden giant stomped heavily, causing the ground to crack instantly. Dust rose, and countless cracks spread out like a spider web from the wooden foot!

"Yondaime Raikage, huh? That's all you got." Tathagata stood arrogantly on the wooden giant's nose.

"Give me some time." Minato withdrew silently, then clasped his palms together and began to absorb Natural Energy.

Facing an opponent who wielded Wood Release on Hashirama's level, Minato decided to enter Sage Mode right away.

"Some time? Although I don't know what you're planning, but..."

Ōnoki floated fifty meters in the air, then quickly formed hand seals, "Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"

Buzz...

A resonant hum echoed as Ōnoki clasped his hands together, unleashing a dazzling beam of white light that shot toward Tathagata like a blazing comet!

Tathagata's pupils contracted, and he swiftly used the Body Flicker Technique to move to the wooden giant's shoulder.

Boom...

The white beam flashed by, and everything in its path, like air, dust, wood, were all disintegrated into atoms.

Tathagata turned his head and saw a massive hole in the wooden giant's forehead, exposing the grayish-brown wood inside.

'As expected of a Kekkei Tota!'

Tathagata's heart felt a moment of trepidation, but then he poured his Chakra to the wooden figure, and the place blasted by Dust Release rapidly regenerate and return to its original state.

"Although it's beyond my capability, allow me to contribute!"

Haku quickly formed hand seals, "Ice Release: Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death!"

Countless ice senbon shot from his hands, but the target is the wooden figure, who was 100 meters high, so it's like scratching the itch through a boot, it couldn't even break the defense!

"And me!" Chojuro swung his sword, Hiramekarei, and charged, only to be kicked away by the wooden giant in the next instant.

"Chojuro!" Haku rushed over to him.

"You two little fellows are much more reliable than the Godaime Mizukage."

Onoki said with a snort, "But you should retreat, this is not a battle you can participate in!"

"Thank you, Tsuchikage-dono." Haku raised his head to thank him, and then quickly helped Chojuro to retreat.

"Are you not leaving, Chiyo?" Onoki looked down at the other person.

"Onoki, don't underestimate women!" Chiyo said as she pulled out a scroll, then she summoned out The Chikamatsu Collection of Ten Puppets.

"Puppet Master Technique?" Onoki couldn't help but laughed.

With a gust of wind, Kanpū, now brimming with the light of love, rose like a star, illuminating everyone around him.

"What kind of Ninjutsu is that?" Onoki frowned as he watched Kanpū float higher and higher, quickly surpassing him. He was very concerned because flying Ninjutsu were exceedingly rare in the Shinobi World, and for a long time, he had dominated the skies!

Kanpū ignored Onoki's curiosity and directly condensed two Truth-Seeking Balls, which then merged with his green Chakra Cloak.

Facing Tathagata, who is at the 'same level' as him, Kanpū coldly shouted, "Green Laser!"

Biubiubiubiu...

Amidst the sound of breaking air, countless green Chakra lasers shot from Kanpū's hands, enveloping the hundred-meter-tall wooden giant like a torrential rain, resulting in a series of intense explosions.

"Impressive!"

Seeing this, Onoki's eyes narrowed, and he immediately joined the battle, unleashing his technique, "Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"

Boom!

A blinding white light mixed with the green lasers shot forth.

At the same time, Yondaime Raikage, who had just been sent flying, turned into a lightning bolt and rushed back to the battlefield, silently merging into the sea of green light, crashing into the wooden giant!

...

While a big battle raged in the Land of Iron.

Land of Fire.

Konoha.

A group of men wearing black cloaks with red clouds pattern slowly approached.

Deva Path, Asura Path, Human Path, Animal Path, Preta Path, Naraka Path, and Kisame, Kakuzu, Sasori, and Deidara, the group of ten people, stood in a line outside the Konoha's Gate.

"Hey, you all, stop right there!"

However, at this moment, a calm voice called them.

The speaker was none other than one of Konoha's gatekeepers, Kotetsu!

With his hands on his hips, Kotetsu looked solemnly at the forehead protectors on their foreheads.

'Amegakure, Kirigakure, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, Takigakure... They come from five different Shinobi Villages?'

'What organization is it?'

'Wait!'

'All of their headbands had scratches on them, it is the mark of Missing-nin!'
