Chapter 312: The Fleeing Minato Namikaze, the Pursuing Madara Uchiha
Land of Wind.
The golden-haired Konoha Jonin was recovering his chakra. He never would have imagined that he had actually returned to the future through the Dragon Vein of the ancient kingdom of Roran!
"That person, Madara Uchiha… is too terrifying!"
Minato Namikaze let out a sigh of relief, still feeling a lingering fear. The distance he could teleport with his Flying Thunder God seal was not very far, and each time was a perilous escape…
The most dangerous time, Madara had actually summoned a meteorite from the sky out of thin air, instantly leveling a geologically complex gobi!
The sand and wind suddenly kicked up…
A figure in red plate armor landed on a hillside, looking down at the resting Minato. "Kid, do you think you can escape?"
"Not necessarily!"
Minato leaped up, his figure instantly turning into a flash of light and disappearing!
Madara watched as the flashes of light continuously appeared and vanished into the distance, and sneered, "This game of cat and mouse can still be played for a long time…"
"I suggest we capture Minato Namikaze as soon as possible…"
Black Zetsu's figure emerged from the desert, its voice sinister. "Obito and Nagato are ready. They can launch an attack on the Hidden Cloud and Hidden Waterfall villages at any time!"
"As long as the Sand and Konoha go to war and attract the attention of Itachi Uchiha and Tobirama Senju, we can immediately capture the Seven-Tails and Eight-Tails!"
"…Mm."
Madara nodded with a grim expression, feeling a little unhappy in his heart. Did this will of his have no tact at all!
Was Minato someone he could just capture whenever he said so?
His Flying Thunder God Technique was even more skilled than Tobirama's, and he had no attachments in the Land of Wind. He could leave whenever he wanted, slippery and hard to catch!
This guy reminded him of Tobirama again!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got!
"Forget it. In any case, he has to return to the past through the Dragon Vein's chakra…" Madara squeezed his fingers and said in a cold voice, "As long as I go and absorb the Dragon Vein's chakra, that little brat Minato will surely come and stop me!"
That's right. They were locked in this strange balance.
Once Madara wanted to return to absorb the chakra in the Dragon Vein, Minato would pop out and cautiously draw sealing runes in the lost tower of Roran…
But if Madara no longer paid attention to the Dragon Vein and turned to pursue him, Minato could nimbly use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape…
"Hmph, a little mouse from Konoha. Sooner or later, I will have him in my grasp!" Madara was quite confident. Minato's only advantage was his speed, and the chakra consumed by the Flying Thunder God Technique would not allow him to continue fleeing indefinitely.
Madara's eyes gradually turned into Rinnegan. He threw out a black sphere with a wave of his hand and then clapped his hands together. "Planetary Devastation!"
The earth shattered violently, and countless grains of sand and rock were gathered by the gravity of the Planetary Devastation, forming a giant sphere!
Black Zetsu cautiously spoke up from the side, "…Lord Madara, what is this?"
"Hmph! To prevent that little brat from leaving any Flying Thunder God seals in this area…"
Madara said contemptuously. Ever since he had been toyed with by Minato's Flying Thunder God, going back and forth, he would use Planetary Devastation to destroy the terrain wherever Minato had stopped!
The citizens of the Land of Wind were all terrified. Seventeen or eighteen stone spheres had appeared out of thin air in the sky. Who could stand this stimulation? If those giant stone spheres were to accidentally fall, it would be a terrifying natural disaster!
Black Zetsu was silent for a moment before speaking, "As long as Lord Madara is happy. But you must be careful. The ninjas of Konoha may have already detected the intelligence here… The commotion from Planetary Devastation cannot be hidden!"
"It matters not…"
Madara clenched his fist and said confidently, "After three or four days, that little brat will be on the verge of exhaustion!"
"…"
Black Zetsu was choked speechless. This was purely relying on the infinite chakra of Edo Tensei to win a battle of attrition! Besides Hashirama, who could outlast him!
Hidden Leaf Village.
Itachi Uchiha also received the news from the Intelligence Division. Many suspended stone spheres had suddenly appeared in the sky of the Land of Wind. The citizens were fleeing towards the Hidden Sand Village like refugees!
"Planetary Devastation… perhaps that guy Kimimaro was right…"
He tapped the pen in his hand, glanced at the red-haired girl beside him, and asked, "Karin, have you seen Kitahara today?"
Karin pushed up her glasses and said seriously, "Based on my judgment, Lord Kitahara should be observing Sasuke dredging garbage from the river…"
"…Forget it. I'll go find it later!"
The Hokage candidate rubbed his temples and said in a deep voice, "Go and inform Lady Tsunade. I need to see her!"
Karin seemed to have sensed his thoughts and suddenly spoke, "Do I need to inform Lord Hashirama and Lord Tobirama?"
"It's not that troublesome!"
Itachi casually straightened his clothes and shook his head. "They still need to monitor the Seven-Tails jinchuriki in the Hidden Waterfall. We can't be lured away from our base!"
He wanted to see Tsunade to entrust her with temporary control of the village's power. After all, in all of Konoha, only he and Tsunade understood the severity of the problem.
As for the matter of Madara, he and Kitahara going together should be enough to resolve it… If that really didn't work, he could still use the Flying Thunder God to call the First Hokage.
To be honest, facing the legendary figure from his clan for the first time, Itachi's heart was still a little excited… It was just this Madara, always causing trouble for him!
After Itachi and Tsunade had completed the handover, he arrived at the location of Team 7's mission. Naruto's mood was a little low, and Sasuke was comforting him by his side.
"Did something happen? Shouldn't you be on a mission?"
Itachi glanced at them, then scanned the area and asked out of habit, "Hm? Where's Kitahara?"
"Nii-san, can you not always ask about that crow!"
Sasuke glanced at his older brother and explained with some sadness, "We just sent off the chakra souls of the Fourth Hokage and Auntie Kushina. Their residual wills could no longer be sustained. That crow probably went somewhere else to cheer up…"
The disappearance of Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze from the sealing space was inevitable. Even with Kitahara's chakra support, the problem of chakra assimilation could not be resisted.
They were, after all, just a similar will, not a soul.
It was just that this day had come a little too coincidentally.
"…"
Itachi was stunned for a moment. A pair of pitch-black wings spread from his back. He looked at Naruto, whose eyes were still a little red and swollen, sighed, and said no more.
This newly grown youth was, in the end, all alone.
"Forget it. Time is short. I have to go out on a mission."
Itachi took a few steps forward, patted his little brother's head, then squatted down and ruffled Naruto's yellow hair, comforting him, "Naruto, you must learn to stand tall and be a true ninja! Perhaps when I return…"
As he spoke, his eyes were full of softness, a smile on his lips. "I can bring you a surprise?"
