Chapter 197 From this moment on, the Fourth Ninja World War begins!
Luo Sha stood there in a daze, with a face full of question marks.

who are you?

Why should I remember you???
Squinting his eyes and looking at Namikaze Mirai carefully, Luo Sha confirmed that he had never seen the other person before, and had to pull out a word from his memory.

The blond man in front of him looked somewhat similar to the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, who had just taken the throne a year ago.

The pupils, eyes, and hair color are very similar.

However, he had never heard that the Fourth Hokage had a brother, and he had definitely never seen the man in front of him!

Naruto looked at Namikaze Mirai in confusion.

Uncle's name is well-known! It is the most famous name in the ninja world.

Apart from closed places like Loulan, it can be said that everyone knows about it!
Especially for Luo Sha!

Naruto remembered that he was beaten stupid by his uncle, and was spurned by the whole village. He even lost his position as Kazekage, which fell to Ye Cang.

The behavior of these people was completely different from what he remembered.

Faced with this scene, Namikaze Mirai was quite calm.

Or rather, he had already guessed it.

He does not exist in this world.

As a time traveler, he changed the original timeline of the ninja world.

He is like a stone thrown into the long river of time, causing waves, and the flow of the water after him changes because of him.

The ninja world that the dragon vein brought them to was a normal ninja world without any time travelers.

This answer was exactly what he wanted.

He wants to absorb the natural power of this ninja world.

If the ninja world we are in now is in the same timeline as the ninja world they are in.

Maybe his current actions will trigger an unpredictable butterfly effect!

After getting the answer she wanted, Namikaze Mirai could implement her plan without any scruples.

But before that, he needed to understand one thing.

He asked after a pause.

"What year is it in Konoha now?"

Anger appeared on Luo Sha's face.

"You still have not answered my question!"

He was asking questions to Namikaze Mirai, but Namikaze Mirai didn't answer his questions.

On the contrary, I asked him what he was doing?
How dare you?

Luo Sha looked at Namikaze Mirai unkindly and said, "You don't seem to understand the situation. Look around you carefully. You have been surrounded by the Sand Village. Flying ninjutsu can't save your life!"

Flying ninjutsu is no longer invincible.

With my magnetic escape, you have no chance of escape at all.

"You are right. Your Sand Village has been surrounded by me."

???

Luo Sha was stunned.

Then he sneered, with even more contempt in his eyes.

"It seems that you are a little bit mentally unstable. Since you are determined to die..."

Rumble!
Brilliant golden sand waves surged out from under his feet, lifting his body into the air, overlooking the future of Namikaze from above.

Luo Sha, standing on the gold sand, clenched his right hand!
The gold sand suddenly surged up, like waves violently hitting the windy future.

Wash Nirvana!!
Luo Sha really enjoyed the pleasure of being on high ground and crushing his enemies into gold dust.

"It appears! Kazekage-sama's ultimate move, Golden Sand Wave!"

"That man is dead!"

The Sand Ninja was very excited, as if he had already seen the scene of Namikaze Mirai being crushed by Rasa.

This is the price of going against the Sand Village!

Among the people present, Naruto was the only one who couldn't bear to watch and showed a look of pity.

In their world, Luo Sha was bullied by Namikaze Mirai.

Very miserable...

Under the fanatical gazes of the Sand Ninjas around, the golden sand wave stopped a few dozen centimeters away from Namikaze, and no matter how hard Luo Sha urged it, it did not move at all.

"what happened?"

Luo Sha frowned.

He had never encountered this scene before.

A terrible guess emerged in my mind, and I stared in amazement at the Bofeng Future who had not moved at all from beginning to end.

"It's you!?"

Wow!

The gold sand under him suddenly collapsed, and Luo Sha lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground. Before he could get up, the scene in front of him made him swallow his saliva and sweat broke out.

The surrounding gold sand was churning as if it had life, transforming into countless tentacles, with bared fangs and claws, moving towards him in the middle.

His gold dust is out of control!!

In despair, he heard the faint voice of Namikaze Mirai.

"Unfortunately, my ability also happens to be Magnetic Escape!"

"It's just that your magnetic escape is female, and mine is male. When the female magnetic escape meets the male magnetic escape, it won't work."

Mother magnetic escape?
Male magnetic escape?
what is that?
The Sand Ninjas wanted to support Luo Sha, but the snarling gold sand tentacles were too scary. Just one look at them made them tremble with fear.

In just a moment, Luo Sha was swallowed up by the gold sand tentacles!
"Don't come over!!!"

The sharp and miserable wails echoed throughout the Sand Village!

……

Konoha 51 years?
Yellow Flash succeeded as Hokage for a year?
Kushina is about to give birth?
As he absorbed the information obtained from the Sand Ninja, Namikaze Mirai frowned with a gloomy expression.

He was very familiar with this time. In another ninja world, he went to the Wind Country to absorb the dragon veins during this period.

Shortly after he left Konoha, the Nine-Tails Night broke out, Minato and his wife died, and Naruto was bullied by the village.

Destiny...

Once again...

A cold light suddenly flashed in Namikaze Mirai's dark blue eyes. This chilling cold light made the paralyzed Luo Sha's back go cold and his hair stand on end.

This horrible murderous intention, is he going to kill me???
The Sand Ninjas around were also frightened for a moment, their backs were soaked with cold sweat, and they held their breath.

A terrifying oppression solidified above the Sand Village.

The look in Namikaze Mirai's eyes was like a blade of judgment hanging over the Sand Village.

No one spoke, no one dared to move.

There was only the sound of swallowing saliva and dripping cold sweat.

He defeated Luo Sha with just one move. How terrifying is this man?
Is he going to massacre the entire Sand Village?

In the dead silence, Namikaze Mirai held Naruto's hand.

"Naruto, it looks like we have something to do."

Only when Namikaze Mirai and Naruto flew away did the oppressive feeling that had gathered over the Sand Village gradually dissipate.

Many Sand Ninjas swallowed tremblingly, their backs were already soaked with sweat, as if they had just been fished out of heavy water.

"Oh my God, who is this man?"

"I just saw that I was too breast-feeding..."

"I also saw that I was too milky!"

The Sand Ninja turned his gaze towards Rasa, and the previous admiration and respect were no longer in his eyes.

Defeated in one move!
The Kazekage of the Sand Village, their respected Lord Kazekage, couldn't even block a single attack from the enemy!
Feeling the questioning and disdainful looks from his subordinates around him, Luo Sha's face felt burning with pain.

Namikaze Mirai didn't kill him.

But he suffered torture more horrible than death!

Humiliation and shame engulfed him, his fingers clenched unwillingly, his nails digging deep into his palms.

who are you!!!
……

"Uncle, where are we going now?"

In the air, Naruto asked in confusion.

"Konoha, complete what I left unfinished six years ago."

There was unquestionable toughness in those brief words.

Namikaze Mirai's eyes were cold.

Naruto had never seen Namikaze Mirai like this before, and he shrank back and shuddered.

Sensing Naruto's fear, the coldness in Namikaze Mirai's eyes faded, and a gentle smile appeared in her eyes as she ruffled Naruto's hair.

"Want to meet your parents? Naruto."

"Yes! Of course I do!"

Naruto nodded vigorously.

Of course he wanted to see his parents, he dreamed about it.

From the descriptions of the villagers and my uncle, my parents should be very gentle people, with many friends and followers.

Naruto's eyes dimmed.

"It's just that they died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion."

During the Nine-tail Rebellion, my uncle was not in the village, so my parents sacrificed themselves to save the village.

Whenever he thought of it, Naruto felt an indescribable pain.

He also wanted to enjoy the warmth of home like a normal family.

A broad hand stroked his hair, and Namikaze Mirai's gentle voice reached his ears.

"Don't worry, the Nine-Tailed Night hasn't happened yet in this world, so let your uncle fulfill your dream."

……

Konoha Village.

Compared to the new Konoha, another ninja world that has entered a period of modernization under the influence of Namikaze Mirai, this place is still a traditional village.

In the Hokage room, Minato Namikaze was rubbing his temples. The all-night work had left him very stressed out, and he looked visibly tired.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said as he was in front of the Hokage's desk.

"Minato, Kushina's delivery date has been confirmed for tomorrow night. Don't worry, I have arranged for Biwako to take care of her. As long as there are no accidents, there will be absolutely no problem."

"Thank you very much, Sandaime."

Minato Namikaze let out a breath and nodded.

The seal is at its weakest during a Jinchūriki's childbirth.

Whether it is out of concern for Kushina or the importance of the Nine-Tails to Konoha!
He must be fully prepared to deal with any emergencies!
"Minato, relax. Konoha is the largest ninja village. No one can threaten the Jinchūriki in Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was full of confidence.

Konoha's prosperity is inseparable from his contribution.

"Hopefully!"

Minato Namikaze's face was heavy. For some reason, he always felt uneasy.

Kushina, you have to hold on!
I'll leave Naruto to you.

The day passed quickly.

Without most villagers noticing, the village's security force suddenly increased significantly, and a solemn atmosphere enveloped the sky above Konoha Village.

Only a very small number of high-ranking officials and the chiefs of the great ninja clans knew that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was about to give birth and the village had been placed under martial law.

In a cave outside Konoha Village, an Anbu team was closely guarding the entrance of the cave, and several layers of protective barriers were set up around it.

The screams of a young woman echoed in the cave.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!"

Sarutobi Biwako and a female medical ninja who was delivering the baby squatted between Kushina's parted legs, operating nervously.

"Push harder! Push harder!"

"Come on! Kushina, Naruto's head is out!"

Minato Namikaze pressed his palm on Kushina's lower abdomen, stabilizing the seal that was constantly being broken. His back was already soaked with sweat, and it seemed that even his heart was rising and falling with Kushina's screams.

The dark bulge of the Bagua Seal on Kushina's lower abdomen was constantly breaking outwards.

That's the Nine-Tailed Fox breaking the seal.

The seal is at its weakest when a Jinchūriki is giving birth. How could the Nine-Tails give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

The roar of the Nine-Tailed Fox echoed in the sealed space!
Kushina, you must hold on!

……

In the forest outside the cave, the space suddenly distorted, and a black-robed figure suddenly appeared in the forest. The three crimson magatama under the tiger-patterned mask stared at the cave entrance indifferently.

"It's time to begin."

One by one, the Anbu were killed by him.

The mysterious power of the space-time eye technique made the guarding Anbu no match for him. Before he could even issue a warning, his neck was twisted by a black hand that suddenly jumped out.

The first chapter of the killing begins here.

"Wow! Wow!"

Inside the cave, the cry of a baby broke the depressing atmosphere.

Minato Namikaze held the swaddled baby in his arms, tears in his eyes, and placed him next to Kushina.

"Kushina, look, this is our son!"

Kushina, lying on the bed, pale and exhausted, looked at the cute Naruto with a hearty smile and teased Naruto's nose with her fingers.

"That Ludo."

The warm atmosphere did not last long.

"what!!!"

A shrill scream tore this beauty apart. Minato turned his head and saw that Biwako had been killed and fell to the ground.

"Who are you?!"

Standing on guard, with his right hand reaching for the ninja tool bag at his waist, Minato stared coldly with his deep blue eyes at the black-robed man who suddenly appeared.

The black-robed man rushed towards Kushina.

"hateful!"

Minato swung out a kunai, but it pierced through the opponent's body. In this moment of stalemate, Naruto in the cradle was snatched away by the opponent.

"Minato, Naruto!"

Kushina called out.

The man in black robe put something on the swaddling clothes with his backhand and threw it upwards with force. Minato jumped up and caught Naruto with his pupils shrinking suddenly.

The hissing detonating talisman was burning under the cradle.

At the critical moment, he tore open the swaddling clothes, threw them far away, and used his body to protect Naruto.

boom! ! !
Fire and explosions engulfed most of the cave.

"I'll take the Jinchūriki with me!"

The black-robed man placed his right hand on Kushina, and the twisted vortex engulfed her body, and both of them disappeared at the same time!

"Asshole! Stop it!"

Minato looked grim.

The enemy is coming for the Nine-Tailed Fox???

He must be stopped!

Whoosh!
He disappeared into the cave.

In a cozy room somewhere in Konoha Village, Minato gently placed Naruto in his arms on the cradle, took the divine robe from the hanger, and put it on handsomely.

The five bright red characters "Yondaime Hokage" swayed like flames on the divine robe!
The forest outside Konoha Village.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Kushina's clothes were in disarray, and she was tied to a tree in a spread-eagle position. Her clothes were rolled up high around her belly, revealing her dark Bagua seal, and her long bright red hair was draped over her shoulders in a messy manner.

"It's almost there, it's almost there! Wake up! Nine-Tails!"

The masked man had a crazy smile in his crimson Sharingan.

He seemed to have seen the scene of the Nine-Tailed Fox destroying the village that made him hate it.

Suddenly, a terrifying chill came from behind him, making his hair stand up and his back feel cold!

A blue light flashed by, and Kushina suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness. Her eyes blurred, and when she opened them again, she was already in the man's chest.

Looking at the other person's swaying blonde hair and deep blue eyes.

Kushina's heart was pounding and she spoke almost subconsciously.

"Minato, why are you…"

The sound stopped suddenly.

No, this person is not Minato.

Although they look somewhat similar, Minato's eyes are not as cold.

"who are you?"

Kushina asked warily.

Who is this man?

Why does her face resemble Minato's, and why did he save her?
"Damn it!" The vast chakra surging in her abdomen interrupted her questions. The intense, piercing pain tore at her body, as if it was going to tear her abdomen open.

"The seal! The seal is about to be broken!"

Kushina's face turned pale!
If the Nine-Tails really breaks the seal, a huge disaster will befall Konoha.

When she was almost in despair, a gentle voice came to her ears.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The gentle big hand pressed on her lower abdomen and turned counterclockwise. With the sound like a mechanical clock turning, the Bagua Seal was completely locked!
Kushina's eyes froze, this is the Bagua Seal!

How could this man?
It was even stronger than the one used by Minato. Kushina seemed to hear the desperate roar of the Nine-Tails coming from the sealed space.

"Who are you?"

The one who spoke was the masked man, his Sharingan filled with anger as he stared at Namikaze Mirai.

Just one step away!
Just one step away!

His plan was about to succeed, where did this guy come from?

"You take a rest here, I'll take care of him."

Namikaze Mirai gently leaned Kushina against the tree trunk and adjusted the clothes around her abdomen.

"Ah."

Out of a strange feeling of familiarity with Namikaze Mirai, Kushina nodded obediently.

She suddenly noticed a pair of eyes looking at her.

Turning my head, I saw a pair of eyes as blue as the sky, sparkling with tears.

"Th-that Ludo?"

……

Obito's eyes were solemn, and the three crimson magatama were fixed on Namikaze Mirai.

Two black chains fell out from the wide cuffs of the black robe, making an attacking posture.

Whether it was rescuing Kushina or easily sealing the Nine-Tails just now, it showed that the other party was quite powerful.

This is a very strong enemy!

Obito will not be careless, but he is still confident in himself.

With the ability to control time and space, he is invincible!

"Regret your recklessness!"

He suddenly rushed forward, his virtual body passed through Namikaze Mirai, and the chains under his body imprisoned Namikaze Mirai.

A sneer appeared in Obito's eyes.

Repent for not having the power of the Sharingan!

He stretched out his right hand, and the space suddenly twisted, trying to absorb the future of Namikaze.

As long as he is absorbed into the world of time and space, the battle will be over.

next second!
His expression suddenly froze.

A blue light flashed by, his palm hit nothing, and Namikaze Mirai disappeared in the chains.

boom! !

A terrifying force suddenly came from his lower back, and it hit his waist like a falling meteorite. The ground cracked into spider web-like cracks, and his body was embedded in the ground in a twisted and bent posture, with blood splattering everywhere!

Namikaze Mirai looks down at the masked man at her feet.

An indifferent voice came out.

"Your weakness is bigger than I thought. It's too slow. The physical time of your attack is enough for you to die hundreds of times."

Perhaps because he had lost a few years to grow, the masked man in front of him was less experienced and capable than the one in his ninja world.

"You, who exactly are you..." The blood flowing out of his mouth made Obito's voice unclear, but the fear contained in his words did not diminish at all.

He instantly saw through his ability and dealt a heavy blow to him!
When did such a terrifying ninja appear in the ninja world?
Why never heard of it?

Could it be an enemy from another world?

How is this possible!

In the tense situation, such a ridiculous thought even appeared in Obito's mind.

Clearing his mind of distracting thoughts, Obito endured the severe pain in his waist, stood up and distanced himself. The right half of Hashirama's body was damaged, and the sticky white arm slowly slipped from the black cuffs.

"Oh? You haven't given up resistance yet? You've been reduced to a broken-back dog after my spine was broken, but you still have the illusion of escaping?"

The four words "Broken Back Dog" uttered lightly by Namikaze Mirai deeply hurt Obito's fragile heart, and the Sharingan outside the tiger-striped mask bulged with scarlet blood.

"You can't kill me!"

Facing Namikaze Mirai, who was several times more terrifying than Minato, Obito used the most arrogant tone and said the most cowardly words.

As he possesses the ability to become hollow, as long as he doesn't take action, Namikaze Mirai will never be able to kill him!
He remains invincible.

I took the loss this time. Next time, you won't be so lucky.

Obito stared at Namikaze's future face and imprinted his face deeply into his mind.

He will definitely take revenge for this.

The body slowly sinks and merges into the ground, and the virtual state must be exited during long-distance space movement.

In order to avoid being caught by Namikaze Mirai, he could only move in virtual form. Five minutes was enough for him to escape to a long distance.

"Spatial abilities are not invincible."

Just when he relaxed his mind, a cold voice came into his ears, making his back instantly cold.

what? !

Could it be that the other party has the ability to block space?

pat!

Namikaze Mirai snapped her fingers.

The surrounding space seemed to freeze at this moment. Obito, who was maintaining his Hollow state, was horrified to find that his ability was failing. An irresistible force was forcibly dragging his body out of his Hollow state.

"Damn it! Hold on!!!"

The Sharingan in his right eye was bloodshot, and bright red blood was dripping from the trembling corner of his eye.

Obito gritted his teeth and roared in unwillingness.

The pulling force became stronger and stronger. His struggle seemed to be futile. His body was separated from the space-time world and forcibly exited the virtual state.

boom!
Almost at the same time, a blue light flashed by!

Obito arched his body into a shrimp shape, his eyes twisted, his mouth opened wide with a "wow" sound, and he spat out sticky blood.

The lumbar vertebrae, which had already been bent by Namikaze Mirai, were bent again.

After suffering a series of severe blows, Obito completely lost the ability to stand up. He fell to the ground, curled up in a ball, and blood seeped out of his tiger-striped mask.

Whoosh!
Namikaze Minato appeared next to Kushina.

"Kushina, are you okay?"

Minato asked nervously.

Kushina shook her head.

Minato's eyes froze, his gaze fixed on Naruto next to Kushina.

"You are……"

"Minato, do you know that man?"

"what?"

Kushina's serious tone confused Minato. He turned his head and his pupils suddenly shrank.

The masked man was killed by him???

How did he do it in such a short time?
Minato, who had a brief fight with Obito in the cave, was very aware of the difficulty of the opponent's time and space abilities!
From the time he settled Naruto down and put on the Fourth Hokage's divine robe, how long did it take for the enemy to be killed? ? ?

A strong sense of surprise and absurdity rose in his heart.

"You can take off your ugly mask now."

Namikaze Mirai hooked her finger lightly, and the tiger-striped mask that had been covering her face slowly floated up, revealing a horrified face stained with blood and with ugly scars all over the right cheek.

"Obito, Obito??"

Kushina's pupils trembled.

The body also trembled slightly.

No matter what, she couldn't believe that the enemy who attacked Konoha and kidnapped her with the intention of releasing the Nine-Tails would be her disciple Obito, whom she had always been optimistic about!

"Why is it you? Obito, haven't you already..."

A voice of disbelief came from the water gate.

As a hero of the village, Obito was buried under the rocks of Kannabi Bridge.

Minato once thought about finding Obito's body, but it was too difficult and he had to give up the idea.

"Why you...why do you want to..."

"Hehehe..." In the dead silence of the air, Obito's self-deprecating laughter was unusually harsh in the forest under the night sky.

"Minato-sensei, you are known as the fastest person in the ninja world, why are you always late at the critical moment?"

There was a ferocity in his eyes and he roared fiercely!

"If it weren't for you, Lin wouldn't have died! I wouldn't have become like this! Minato-sensei, why are you always late! Always late!"

Perhaps because he knew that he would die, the Moon Eye Project, which he had worked so hard to plan, failed completely at the very beginning. All of Obito's fantasies were shattered, and he was left with only indignation and unwillingness.

In his paranoid cognition.

It was Minato Namikaze who caused all this for him.

Where is Minato Sensei, who possesses the Flying Thunder God, every time he is needed?
If you weren't late!

If you weren't late all the time!!!
Minato Namikaze remained silent. He did not refute Obito's hatred and curses, but bitterness and pain were revealed in his eyes.

So in your eyes, am I such a failed teacher?
"It seems that things have become clear."

Namikaze Mirai looked down at Obito coldly.

"No matter what you've been through, it can't wash away your guilt."

"and many more!"

Minato's nervous voice came from behind him.

"Please have mercy on him. He is my disciple. I don't know what he has been through, but it must have been the darkest pain. I want to influence him with love. Please give me a chance."

"You're still as soft-hearted as before." Namikaze Mirai shook her head.

Minato was startled.

"It seems you still haven't figured it out." Namikaze Mirai's eyes showed a hint of sternness, "A dog like this that you can't tame should be slaughtered as soon as possible!"

pat!

He stepped down hard with his right foot!
Obito's head suddenly exploded like a watermelon, red and white splashed everywhere, and blood dyed the whole area red!
The forest air suddenly became quiet.

Kushina turned her head away reluctantly.

Obito was a child she loved very much, and she didn't want to see this.

Minato remained silent, and finally, he sighed helplessly.

“Maybe this is for the best.”

Accepting the fact that Obito was the mastermind behind all this, Minato let out a long breath, cleared his mind of all the distracting thoughts, and fixed his gaze on Namikaze Mirai.

"Now one last question, who are you?"

A face similar to his.

Such terrifying strength that even he couldn't see through it!
Who is this man?

And why did he save Kushina?
And the sentence just now: Still as soft-hearted as before!

This man knew him? Why had he never seen him before?

Minato Namikaze felt that his mind was in a tangled mess, like a ball of wool that had been played with by a cat, and he couldn't make sense of what was happening.

"Well... how should I put it? I live far away from here, so I just happened to pass by Konoha, right? You and my brother look a lot like each other, so I chose to help you because of that fate!"

Namikaze Mirai's acting is amazing, and her blue eyes are full of emotion.

Naruto froze on the spot.

???

What the hell?

Uncle is obviously dad’s younger brother, right?
When he opened his mouth and was about to remind his uncle, he was suddenly met with a pair of deep eyes. He was so frightened that he closed his mouth tightly.

"younger brother?"

Minato frowned.

"Yes, you and my brother really look alike, so can you call me brother? I haven't heard my brother call me that for a long time."

"Just consider it as satisfying the wish of an incompetent brother like me to see my younger brother!"

Facing Namikaze Mirai's sincere eyes, Minato felt a little strange. After hesitating for a moment, he opened his mouth and spoke reluctantly.

"elder brother."

"Hey! So obedient!"

Namikaze Mirai looked very satisfied.

Feel comfortable! ! !
This trip is worth it!

Naruto had a weird expression on his face.

Uncle, does he still have this hobby?
"It's time, we should go."

Namikaze Mirai held Naruto's hand and walked in the forest under the cover of night. Under Minato's gaze, her figure gradually faded.

Until it disappears.

"Minato, have you seen that man?"

Came Kushina's confused voice.

"No, I've never seen it, but it feels familiar."

"Me too, they seem to be very close. And the boy next to him looks so much like Naruto that I almost mistook him for the grown-up Naruto."

"Yeah, luckily they're not bad people."

Namikaze Minato looked at Obito's body with a complicated expression.

If that person hadn't suddenly come to the rescue, Konoha would have been a river of blood tonight...

Just as he was having complicated thoughts, he saw a little fire in the forest in the distance.

"Where!"

"Quick! They're there!"

Ten seconds later, Sarutobi Hiruzen arrived with a group of village ninjas and glanced at Minato nervously.

"Minato! Are you okay? Where are the enemies?"

Minato shook his head.

"The enemy has been dealt with."

"solved?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes lit up with joy.

"Well done! Minato, you are worthy of being the Fourth Hokage. You can handle such an enemy by yourself."

He easily broke through Konoha's barrier, killed the defending Anbu, and even killed his wife Sarutobi Biwako.

This is definitely not an ordinary enemy!

Only a strong man like Minato can defeat the opponent?
"No, Sandaime, you guessed wrong. It wasn't me who killed him."

"what?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned.

Besides Watergate?

Is there anyone in Konoha who can defeat the other party? ? ?
Minato Namikaze looked in the direction where Namikaze Mirai left and smiled.

"It's a distant old friend."

……

The next day.

A sudden storm swept across the entire ninja world. Ninjas from major countries such as the Fire Kingdom, Lightning Kingdom, Wind Kingdom, and Earth Kingdom looked up in horror, looking in disbelief.

The winds from different countries in the Ninja World eventually blew in one direction and gathered over the Land of Fire.

The ninja world is boiling.

Countless ninjas were discussing the source of this shocking scene in shock.

The immortals from the three holy places looked at him in fear.

"What is this? Someone is absorbing the power of nature???"

The horrifying noise startled even the Six Paths Sage, who looked away from the Pure Land.

On a remote cliff, Naruto looked up at Namikaze Mirai in the blue sky.

After absorbing the natural power of this ninja world, Namikaze Mirai seemed to be lifted into a whole new level of life, with tremendous vitality emanating from her body.

The electromagnetic tree that resided in his mind grew rapidly and finally broke through that barrier.

Electromagnetic force: LV5!
Namikaze Mirai opened her eyes, and her azure blue eyes, as bright as the starry sky, shone with brilliance.

"Naruto, let's go, we should go back!"

……

Iron country.

A heavily guarded meeting room.

The Fourth Raikage Ai, the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki, the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, and the leader of the Land of Iron, Mifune, sat upright around a large round table.

"I have received reliable information that Konoha's Fifth Hokage has disappeared for a long time."

There was silence.

Raikage Ai spoke first, his rough voice echoing in the room.

"Raikage, is the source of this information reliable?"

Oonoki frowned.

Namikaze Mirai, the famous Fifth Hokage, was a terrifying man who single-handedly overthrew the one-country, one-village system and created a completely new system.

How could it suddenly disappear?
"The source is absolutely reliable! I have verified this information from many aspects."

Ai sneered.

In order to deal with Konoha, he spent a lot of energy on gathering intelligence.

Fortunately, his efforts were worth it.

Such important information as Namikaze Mirai's disappearance would be impossible to collect without spending a huge price.

"I also learned the news. What the Raikage said should be true."

Yagura, who was sitting opposite Ōnoki, spoke up.

He is Obito's puppet.

Controlled by Obito's illusion.

White Zetsu discovered the disappearance of Namikaze Mirai, and Obito, who knew this information, shared the information through Yagura.

I hope to push several major ninja villages into a war against Konoha.

"In that case, now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Ohnoki murmured.

There is no better opportunity than this.

The biggest obstacle standing in front of their three major ninja villages is Namikaze Mirai.

If Namikaze Mirai is really missing.

The troops of the three major ninja villages will no longer have any obstacles and will be able to push forward and attack Konoha!

"Even if that guy suddenly appears, I'm not afraid. I've found a way to kill Namikaze Mirai!"

A strong sense of confidence emerged in Ai's eyes.

Chest of Bliss.

With the cooperation of Killer Bee and the elite Cloud Ninja, they finally took the Kizuna Castle from the Land of Grass!

As the ultimate weapon of the Six Paths Sage, it possesses the terrifying power to destroy the ninja world!
It’s perfect to use him to deal with Namikaze Mirai!
No matter what, Konoha can't escape this time!

The pattern of the ninja world will be completely rewritten!
"Everyone, don't forget me!"

Mifune, who was in the lead, crossed his arms and snorted in displeasure.

Although he was a witness to this joint meeting, he was also one of the member states that was fighting against Konoha.

Ai and Ōnoki and the others seemed to have completely forgotten about themselves.

"Yes, there is also the Iron Country. With the help of the Iron Country, Konoha's chances of winning this time are even slimmer."

Ōnoki noticed that Mifune was in a bad mood and responded very tactfully.

"That's right."

Sanchuan nodded, and his displeasure disappeared.

"But I am a little curious. Why is the Iron Country, which has always been a neutral country, suddenly preparing to attack Konoha?"

Ohnoki changed the subject and began to explore the reasons behind Mifune's motives.

Although the stronger the combined power of the ninja forces is, the better, Ohnoki will never be at peace until he finds out the reason why the Iron Country is joining the war.

As a neutral country, the Iron Kingdom controls the largest samurai force in the ninja world. In this world dominated by ninjas, it is still a very powerful military force.

Although the samurai did not know ninjutsu, he did not give up the practice of chakra. He combined swordsmanship with the chakra system and developed a unique combat method, which made him possess combat power that was no weaker than that of ordinary ninjas.

Even a jonin could be defeated when encountering a powerful samurai!
The Mifune in front of us is a good example.

It is said that when he was young, he fought against the demigod Hanzo of the Rain Country and won the demigod's appreciation.

"Because of Konoha, the samurai are about to be eliminated!"

Faced with Ōnoki's questioning, Mifune, who was usually emotionally stable, showed rare indignation and gritted his teeth in indignation.

The development of ninjas did not lead to the disappearance of samurai.

This ancient and time-honored profession has been passed down in the ninja world for thousands of years. With every change of era, it has been able to survive the crisis and continue to be passed down.

But Namikaze Mirai, he alone can deal a devastating blow to the entire samurai system!
The circulation of firearms and other weapons has greatly shortened the distance between ordinary people and ninjas.

Not to mention traditional samurai.

In the samurai duels that are popular in the Iron Kingdom, more and more second-rate samurai are secretly hiding guns. When the opponent draws his samurai sword and is about to attack, they pull out their guns and launch a sneak attack!

Many warriors died because of this kind of thing!
The most infuriating thing is that those lowly people who pulled out guns and attacked would almost always boast:
"Times have changed!"

Mifune was so angry!!!
At this rate of progress, how could anyone become a samurai?

Tens of years of hard work in training are not as good as others pulling the trigger easily!
Who can bear this???
The samurai, an ancient profession that has been passed down for thousands of years and has survived countless historical changes, big and small, is probably about to disappear completely in the long river of history.

As the leader of the Iron Country and the spiritual leader of the samurai lineage, Mifune absolutely cannot agree with such a thing happening!!!

He wants to protect the warriors' last glory!

He wants to prove it to Konoha.

Times have not changed!
Samurai can cut bullets with swords!

After listening to Mifune's explanation, Ōnoki nodded slightly, and Ai and Yagura also nodded.

The look he gave Mifune revealed a hint of sympathy.

They had also heard about the warrior's recent tragic experiences.

Ever since the advent of firearms, the status of ninjas has been impacted, let alone such an ancient existence as samurai?
"Konoha will pay the price for what it has done!" Ohnoki's eyes were cold, "With the alliance of the Iron Country, the Four Nations Alliance has been established again. We have only one goal, to destroy Konoha!!!"

The early Four Nations Alliance included the Sand Village in the Wind Country.

But later on, the Kazekage Yegura flattered Namikaze Mirai many times, and there were even rumors that she was gaining Konoha's support by relying on her body.

The Sand Village was expelled from the Four Nations Alliance.

The Quadruple Alliance also became a Triple Alliance.

Perhaps it was God's will, the joining of the Iron Kingdom allowed the Four-Nation Alliance to be established again.

The Iron Kingdom, where samurai are the mainstream, is one of the five most powerful foreign countries in terms of military strength. It is the perfect choice to replace the Sand Village!
"Destroy Konoha!"

Ai responded coldly.

"Destroy Konoha!"

Yagura responded.

"Destroy Konoha!"

The three ships responded in a deep voice.

After receiving the response from the three shadows, Ōnoki's eyes flashed coldly and his low voice echoed in the conference room.

"Very good! I hereby declare that the Fourth Ninja World War has begun!"

Different from the three previous Ninja World Wars.

This time they had only one enemy.

Konoha!

at all costs!
Destroy Konoha!

"In three days, join me in attacking Konoha!!!"
