Kakashi was surprised that Danzo would indeed not participate in the battle at this time. How could Kakashi not know Danzo's thoughts!
With the Nine-Tails attacking, the village will definitely be severely damaged. He wants to use this opportunity to weaken the influence of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, in the village, and ideally, he should die in this battle!
It's not a year ago anymore. There are no more wars between the countries. Minato Namikaze has achieved his goal of intimidating other ninja villages by becoming Hokage. He is now planning how to become Hokage. The existence of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, is now a complete obstacle for him!
"Damn old man!"
Kakashi cursed inwardly. The other members had retreated, but he would not. Minato Namikaze was his teacher, Kushina was his teacher's wife, and there were other people he cared about on the battlefield. How could he possibly retreat?
"We've entered the village..."
Kakashi then muttered something to himself. The village's ninjas had ultimately failed to stop the Nine-Tailed Fox's invasion. Under Kakashi's watchful eye, the Nine-Tailed Fox had broken through the ninjas' defenses and rushed into the village. More than half of the two hundred-plus ninjas who had just tried to stop it had been killed or wounded!
"Hong and Lin are here too!"
Kakashi's brow furrowed again as he noticed that Kurenai and Rin had both rushed to the battlefield. Kakashi's heart leaped into his throat, and he instantly shot forward!
boom!
As Kakashi charged forward, a massive surge of chakra descended upon the battlefield. A figure suddenly appeared before the Nine-Tailed Fox. Though small, the figure's imposing presence forced the Nine-Tailed Fox to halt.
"The Third Hokage..."
Kakashi was shocked to see that the Third Hokage had also appeared. Looking at the Third Hokage's fierce appearance wielding the Golden Cudgel, Kakashi simply couldn't compare him to the aged Third Hokage of later generations!
"Nine-Tails, leave Konoha, or we won't be polite!"
The Third Hokage stood on a rooftop, staring majestically at the Nine-Tailed Fox, and shouted loudly!
"It's the Third Hokage..."
"That's good, the Third Hokage has arrived..."
"Now we can stop the Nine-Tailed Fox..."
Upon seeing the Third Hokage arrive, all the Konoha ninjas around them exclaimed with joy. They had been feeling immense pressure, but after the Third Hokage appeared, they immediately felt much more relaxed. The appearance of a Kage-level powerhouse gave them a pillar of support, and their auras soared!
"roar!"
Sensing the power of the Third Hokage, the Nine-Tailed Fox roared in anger, a hint of struggle appearing in its eyes, but it was quickly replaced by madness!
roar!
After another roar, the Nine-Tailed Fox attacked the Third Hokage, its front paws striking him with lightning speed, arriving in front of him in an instant!
"How is this possible... The Nine-Tails has been controlled!"
The Third Hokage, who clearly caught Kurama's gaze, was shocked. He immediately realized that Kurama's gaze was not right and that it was being controlled!
The Third Hokage was incredulous to think that even the strongest Nine-Tails could be controlled by someone. Apart from Madara Uchiha, who had died fighting the First Hokage, he never imagined that anyone else could control the Nine-Tails!
"The Golden Cudgel is huge!"
The onslaught of air and heat left the Third Hokage with no time to think. With a loud shout, the golden cudgel in his hand instantly grew dozens of times larger, becoming so thick that the Third Hokage had to hold it to wield it!
Bang!
The Nine-Tailed Fox's attack was blocked by the giant golden cudgel in the Third Hokage's hand, but the Third Hokage's figure was also slightly pushed back!
"drink!"
The Third Hokage, who had been blasted back, had a sharp look in his eyes. After stopping in mid-air, he immediately swung his huge golden cudgel down at the Nine-Tailed Fox's staff. The sight of a person about two meters tall wielding a golden cudgel that was tens of meters long was truly fierce and stimulated the eyes of all the Konoha ninjas, who marveled at the power of the Third Hokage from the bottom of their hearts!
Whoosh!
The Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes twitched slightly, and it dared not meet the Third Hokage's blow, so it retreated to avoid it!
Sizzle!
The moment the Nine-Tailed Fox retreated, the Third Hokage's giant golden cudgel slammed down in front of him, the air hissing from the enormous commotion!
boom!
Then, the giant golden cudgel slammed into the ground, and a huge boom resounded. The ground caved in, and the buildings completely collapsed. That's how powerful the Third Hokage's single strike was!
Sizzle!
Earth Release: Earth Flow River!
Having missed his attack on the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Third Hokage immediately released his grip on the giant golden cudgel and quickly formed hand seals, unleashing a large-scale ninjutsu in a mere second!
The ground beneath the Nine-Tailed Fox immediately transformed into a great river of earth, causing the Nine-Tailed Fox's figure to flow and sink!
Startled by the power of the Third Hokage's staff strike, the Nine-Tailed Fox was trapped in the Earth Flow River before it could even dodge!
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Golden Cudgel!"
Seeing that the Nine-Tailed Fox was trapped by the Earth Flow River, the Third Hokage did not hesitate and unleashed another Fire Release technique, spewing out a giant fire stalk that wrapped around the giant golden cudgel!
"drink!"
With another loud shout, the Third Hokage picked up the giant golden cudgel entwined by the fire dragon and swung it at the Nine-Tailed Fox once more. This time, instead of smashing it down, he chose to sweep it horizontally. With its legs trapped in the Earth Flow River, the Nine-Tailed Fox had no way to dodge and was destined to be hit!
boom!
As expected, the Third Hokage's giant golden cudgel, burning with flames, swept fiercely across the Nine-Tailed Fox, sending it flying to the side!
"roar..."
The Nine-Tailed Fox's massive jaws widened instantly, and it howled in pain. Its body crashed to the ground in the distance with a loud thud. Such a fierce scene made the Konoha ninja cheer loudly. Even the hateful Nine-Tailed Fox had such an end!
Kakashi caught up and was secretly sweating when he saw the Third Hokage's fierce performance. Kakashi had never imagined that the Third Hokage was so powerful!
roar!
However, the Nine-Tailed Fox's strength exceeded everyone's expectations. After receiving such a heavy blow from the Third Hokage, the Nine-Tailed Fox immediately got up from the ground, its eyes burning with rage as it roared and charged towards the Third Hokage!
