Chapter 402: Raid on Rock Hidden

Tamura Hao, who flew to the holy tree, put his palm on the tree trunk to sense it. He sensed a strong and vigorous vitality in the holy tree, which was somewhat similar to the wood escape chakra and the power of the tailed beast.

This discovery made him more certain that this sacred tree was related to the Ten-Tailed Sacred Tree in ancient times.

After confirming this, he turned the creation fairy lotus out of the sealed space, controlled the roots to penetrate into the holy tree, and swallowed the vitality and original power inside.

The Creation Immortal Lotus, which is fused with the power of Wood Release, really likes this kind of power, and takes the initiative to take root in it and absorb it as soon as it comes in contact with it.

"Wood escape?"

Kakuzu stepped over the water, looked at the strange plant with a solemn expression, and felt the power of the First Hokage from it.

"It incorporates some of the first-generation chakra, and has a certain amount of wood escape power."

Tamura Hao didn't hide anything, but he didn't say too much either. Kakuzu was sensible and didn't ask any more questions, but just looked at him curiously.

"You've grown so big."

Nara Shikaku and the others were shocked when they looked at the fairy lotus. They knew that this man had cultivated the lotus seeds they had received from the Fire Temple, but they didn't expect that he had cultivated them to such an extent.

"Senior, you don't mind if I swallow this sacred tree."

Tamura Hao looked at Kakuzu and wanted to swallow the sacred tree whole in order to maximize the creation of the Immortal Lotus.

"Whatever, I'm no longer a ninja of Takigakure Village."

Kakuzu didn't care much about this. It would be better to destroy this place, so that Haruko could sleep here forever without being disturbed.

When Kakuzu said this, Tamura Hao felt relieved.

This sacred tree has survived for thousands of years and has accumulated a lot of vitality. It was not until the second day that the leaves on the tree began to wither and fall. On the third day, they all fell. On the fourth day, they began to dry up. On the fifth day, the entire tree could not bear it. Live collapse.

The space in Takigakure Village was originally supported by the sacred tree, which withstood the surrounding rocks. Now that the sacred tree has withered and its strength has been greatly reduced, it can no longer bear the weight of those rocks, and collapse is inevitable.

These are naturally not dangerous to Tamura Hao and the other five. Kakuzu even dived into the water and used Earth Release Ninjutsu to seal all the water outlets, causing the lake inside to continue to rise. Eventually, the sinkhole was completely submerged, and the entire Taki The hidden village and the cemetery were sealed underwater.

"Kakuzu-senpai, after our Fourth Hokage of Konoha takes over, you can come to work. During this time, you can travel around the world's gambling houses and become familiar with the existence of gamblers and gambling techniques."

After handling everything, Tamura Hao and Kakuzu parted ways.

We can't take Kakuzu back now, as that will only make Sarutobi Hiruzen and others wary, and then they will target him. The best choice is to hide him.

"It seems that the Fourth Hokage will be the one you support."

Kakuzu clearly understood that the Fourth Hokage must be supported by the three families of Ino, Deer and Butterflies.

"I will go there then."

After saying that, he turned around and left, preparing to go to those famous gambling houses.

He is a ninja with great professional ethics. If someone is so sincere, he must use his full strength, otherwise the gold will not be secure.

"Such a strong man is so obsessed with money."

Yamanaka Haiichi sighed, after getting to know each other in the past few days, they knew the old man's temperament and his incomparable obsession with money.

"After all, he is a character who came from the Warring States Period. Everything in his era has died, and all the familiar people have died. It is inevitable that there will be some holes in his heart, and it will be difficult if he doesn't find something to fill it.

"Isn't it a little too much?"

Nara Shikaku felt that the offer was a bit too much. You must know that the income from Senju Casino has been allocated long ago. Squeezing out 5% of the share now will affect the planning and operation of many aspects.

"How much do you think someone like Kakuzu-senpai can actually spend every year?"

Tamura Hao asked rhetorically.

Did he know that that person was truly alone and childless, and if he looked like that, he would probably no longer have the ability to have children.

Besides, that person is not a lavish spender. He spends one million taels a month to survive.

The dividends will be sealed in the vault of Thousand Hands Casino, so it is only nominally given to that person.

"You are still cruel!"

Nara Shikaku understood and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Yamanaka Haiichi and Akimichi Tingza could not help but twitch their faces as they mourned for the old man.

"Let's go, Jiraiya-senpai should be waiting impatiently."

After looking at Xiao Hei flying down, Tamura Hao jumped up, and Nara Shikaku and the other three also jumped up. Xiao Hei, who was flying at low altitude, caught him and spread his wings to fly to the land of grass in the south.

Xiao Hei was very fast and arrived at the Konoha Ninja Army's camp in the Country of Grass that night. After identity verification, he was led to Jiraiya.

"You're back, I'm ready to let Minato go find you."

Jiraiya just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the four people returning safely.

He had repeatedly promised Tsunade when he lent that boy to him. If something unexpected happened, he would definitely be beaten to death by Tsunade.

"Jiraiya-senpai!"

"Minato-senpai!"

Tamura Hao nodded to the two of them, and then talked about the results of the investigation of Takigakure Village.

"Takigakure Village has been slaughtered, the remaining ninjas have left one after another, and Takigakure Village has completely disappeared."

"Did he really get slaughtered?"

Jiraiya sighed, but more of a sigh of relief.

Compared to the speculation that Takigakure Village participated in the Great Ninja War, it would be better to be massacred by Sunagakure Village, otherwise the war here would be difficult to fight.

"How's the fighting going here?"

Nara Shikaku asked about the battle situation on the battlefield in the Land of Grass. He estimated that Hiruzen Sarutobi and others would not let the ninjas of the Ino, Shika and Butterfly clans rest, and would definitely be transferred to other battlefields.

The only nearby battlefields are the Grass Country Battlefield and the Eastern Front, with the Grass Country Front being the most likely.

Because Orochimaru is leading the eastern front, the Third Hokage will definitely not let them come into contact with Orochimaru, so it can only be on the Grass Country battlefield.

For this reason, he had to make plans here early. The first thing he had to do was to understand all the situations here.

"Minato, bring over the information you've compiled over the past few days."

Jiraiya motioned to Minato to hand over the compiled information to Nara Shikaku, which was what he had agreed to before, and then he said distressedly.

"It's not good. Iwagakure Village only attacked with all its strength four days ago, and we lost two lines of defense.

The ninja army gathered here by Iwa Ninja now totals fifteen thousand, and there are also many strong ones.

There are the four-tailed jinchuriki, the son of the Tsuchikage, the leader of the demolition force, Explosion Hunter, and the Iron Rikishi Monolith. Among them, the four-tailed jinchuriki has developed the half-tailed beast to the extreme. It can explode with four tails, which is very difficult to deal with. "

"Is it just a half-tailed beast?"

Tamura Hao asked, the four-tailed jinchuriki entered the complete tail beast transformation during the big explosion. Maybe it was the four-tailed help that time. After all, once the jinchuriki died, the tailed beast would also die.

Although I don’t know what price the tailed beasts will pay for resurrecting after death, they definitely don’t want to die, otherwise those tailed beasts would have committed suicide by swallowing the tailed beast jade in the seal.

"It turned into a half-tailed beast. If it had turned into a completely tailed beast, we would have been defeated long ago."

Jiraiya was very troubled by the four-tailed Jinchuuriki. He had tried his best to fight it off before.

The defensive power of the Tailed Beast Clothes was so strong that he couldn't break it despite all his efforts, and the other party had already been able to initially release the Tailed Beast Jade.

Even if the power is not as good as the complete form, it is still fatal to ordinary ninjas.

The previous two lines of defense were breached by the opponent's Tailed Beast Jade.

Only when you truly face a tailed beast can you understand the horror of its existence.

I really can't understand how powerful the first Hokage was back then.

Tamura Hao thought for a moment, then raised his hand to form a seal to create a soundproof barrier, covering several people.

"If it's just a half-tailed beast, I should be able to resist it. If I can get the power of the five tails to bless the secret technique, I can hold it back on the battlefield."

Each of his current tailed beast forms can last for three minutes. If he obtains the power of the five tails, he can seal the power of the six tails, seven tails, eight tails, and nine tails that he has already obtained.

Moreover, the sacred tree that swallowed Takigakure Village before has greatly improved the foundation of the Creation Fairy Lotus, which can very well assist the tailed beast in absorbing natural energy blessings, and can even try to use one of the imaginary methods.

"Has Mr. Hao obtained the power of the Four Tails?"

Hearing that Tamura Hao didn't mention the power of the four tails, Namikaze Minato guessed that the opponent had already obtained it, roughly when Iwagakure and Kumogakure were fighting.

"The Five-Tails Jinchuuriki has been in Iwagakure Village. If you want to get his power, you have to fight to Iwagakure Village."

Jiraiya didn't refuse, but it was not easy to attack Iwagakure.

"It's not about attacking, we just need to draw it out. We only need the power of the five tails. It's not about killing it. As long as it's fast enough, coupled with Minato-kun's Flying Thunder God Technique and our Ninja Eagle's assistance, the whole body can be completely destroyed. It’s not difficult to retreat.”

Tamura Hao's goal was only the power of the Five-Tails, and he did not want to storm Iwagakure Village.

"Then without further delay, let's go to Iwagakure Village now."

Jiraiya decided to go to Iwagakure Village immediately. The sooner this kid can get the power of the Five-Tails, the sooner he can adapt, and the more stable their front will be.

As long as they can hold back the four-tailed Jinchuuriki, it will not be difficult to block the offensive of other strong men in Iwagakure. As for the huge Iwagakure ninja army, they can rely on defenses to resist it.

And at the speed of that ninja hawk, he can go back and forth from here to Iwagakure Village in one day, and he can definitely keep up.

"Teacher, you are still injured."

Namikaze Minato didn't agree to go now, after all, the teacher was seriously injured in the previous war.

"It's just a little burn, nothing to worry about."

Jiraiya glanced at the bandages on his body and didn't care.

"Is it just a superficial burn?"

Tamura Hao also discovered the medical bandage on Jiraiya's body, half of his body was wrapped.

"Tsunade seems to have said that you are also very talented in medical ninjutsu."

Jiraiya realized that he had talked to Tsunade a lot before, and he had many praises for this student, and even commented that he was a monster.

"The secret technique of our Akido family is to practice Yang Release, and it has many similarities with medical ninjutsu. Therefore, practicing medical ninjutsu will get twice the result with half the effort. I can handle ordinary injuries."

Tamura Hao was humble. His medical ninjutsu can only be said to be average, but when mixed with life force, it is extraordinary. It is definitely no worse than Master Sheep's.

"Then give me a break when you pass."

Jiraiya was overjoyed. He had been tortured by the injuries on his body in the past two days. The numb and itchy feeling was too uncomfortable.

"I'm going to find Senior Zixiao and Senior Zhenhong over here."

Seeing that his teacher's injuries could be cured, Minato Namikaze said something and turned around to leave.

In addition to themselves and their teacher, the shadow-level experts on their side also have two seniors, Yuhi Zhenhong and Mitarai Shixiao. It is because of this that they can withstand the attacks of Iwagakure Village.

The combat power of a strong Kage level warrior is far beyond that of a Jonin. As long as it is used, it can almost massacre a Jonin.

Therefore, blocking the opponent's Kage-level warriors is the key, especially the Tailed Beast Jinchūriki.

"I'll use the Flying Thunder God Kunai on Xiao Hei's back to lead the way."

Nara Shikaku also left, using the Peacock Technique to spread his chakra wings and quickly rise into the air to meet Xiao Hei in the sky. He was always carrying the Flying Thunder God Kunai that Namikaze Minato had given him.

Not long after, Namikaze Minato arrived with Mitarashi Shixiao and Yuhi Zhenhong, and the three people's eyes immediately fell on Tamura Hao, who was checking Jiraiya's injuries.

"It's not a big problem. I can assist in rapid healing, but some medicines will be needed to assist in the follow-up, otherwise there may be some sequelae."

After checking, Tamura Hao gave a positive response.

"Then let's go!"

Jiraiya looked at his disciples and signaled that they were ready to go.

Namikaze Minato understood and sensed the Flying Thunder God Kunai on Nara Shikaku's body. He took his teacher there first, and then returned to take away the others one by one.

When everyone got up behind them, the Ninja Eagle in the sky quickly flew towards the direction of Iwagakure Village under the cover of night.

At Xiao Hei's current speed, it would take at most thirteen hours to arrive.

Tamura Hao used Palm Senjutsu to mix some life energy to speed up the recovery of Jiraiya's injuries, while Yuhi Zhenhong and Mitarai Zixiao kept watching from the side, sizing up the boy.

They were not unfamiliar with this child. Their daughter was in the same class as him, and she also said that this child was the strongest freshman in that class.

They had heard Namikaze Minato and Jiraiya talk about this child before, and they both praised him very much.

It has also reached the jounin level, and can even use the power of tailed beasts to explode into shadow-level combat power, which is really incredible for a twelve-year-old child.

During this continuous treatment, Xiao Hei flew quickly and arrived an hour faster than the expected 13 hours. Because there was a tailwind on the road, the speed would be faster.

After they approached a certain range of Iwagakure Village, they were sensed by the perception barrier. The village immediately sounded the alarm, and Onoki, the third Tsuchikage, took off immediately.

"You juniors really dare to come looking for death!"

Looking at the people on Ninja's back, Ohnoki felt murderous intent.

The ninjas in Iwagakure Village also rushed out of the village, preparing to deal with the enemies outside. They could not place the battlefield inside the village, otherwise they would suffer heavy losses even if they won.

And Yamanaka Haiichi immediately locked onto the Five-Tails Jinchuuriki. He had seen the opponent's appearance in the memories of those Iwa Ninjas last time and had always remembered it.

After locking the Five-Tails Jinchūriki, Yamanaka Haiichi shared it with others through spiritual magic.

"Quick victory!"

Jiraiya was the first to jump down, and the others also jumped down one after another. Akimichi Dingza and Tamura Hao spread their butterfly wings and flew down at the same time, pulling everyone to quickly dive towards the five-tailed Jinchuuriki.

"Their target is the tailed beast."

Ohnoki reacted and saw that the target of these people was the Five-Tails. He immediately prepared to fly down, and formed seals with his palms even faster to use Chen Escape to disintegrate them.

But before it could be released, an outsider broke into the spiritual space.

"Junior!"

He immediately saw that this was a spiritual magic, and Ohnoki unleashed all his chakra to counter it.

Although he doesn't know genjutsu and doesn't have Yin-type chakra, he is powerful enough that he can disrupt the opponent's jutsu just by bursting out chakra.

This does have a big impact on Yamanaka Haiichi's spiritual state. After all, he has not yet broken through to that level, and is one level behind Ohnoki. Not to mention that Ohnoki is still the owner of the blood successor elimination, and the quality of chakra is higher than that of ordinary people. Shadow level experts are even higher.

But it’s okay to contain it for a while.

The five-tailed Jinchuuriki on the ground saw several people swooping towards him, but he was not afraid. He immediately burst out with tailed beast chakra, and five tails quickly condensed behind him.

He has also cultivated the half-tailed beast transformation to the limit. Although he still cannot achieve the full tailed beast transformation, he has reached this level and can ignore the attacks of ordinary shadow-level powerful people.

"Psychic art!"

Jiraiya quickly formed a seal and channeled Gamabunta and Gamatake, while Namikaze Minato on the other side channeled Gamahiro, and the master and apprentice teamed up to stop the other Iwa nin.

Yuhi Zhenhong and Mitarai Zixiao also assisted, and Akimichi Choza and Nara Shikaku were on the left and right to support them. This was the battle plan they had agreed upon on the road.

The mission of this attack is to assist in obtaining the power of the five tails. All you need to do is hold those people back so that they do not interfere with Tamura Hao's ability to obtain the power of the five tails.

And Tamura Hao even manifested and condensed the Shukaku Dharma in mid-air, and released the placer gold obtained from Luo Sa, shaping Shukaku into the placer gold form, and the weight was even more astonishing, and he even blessed it with the art of weighted rock. increase.

After shaping it, directly attack the five-tailed Jinchuuriki.

Instead of staying in place and resisting stupidly, the five-tailed Jinchūriki used boiling energy to explode chakra, forming a stream of steam and accelerating the impact, preparing to break away from the opponent's siege.

Although he was very confident in his tailed beast defense, the opponent's numbers were too many, and the power of the tailed beasts was not invincible. At least the sealing technique could counter them.

But as soon as it started to spray steam to increase the explosive speed, it fell to the ground, and a large area of ​​the ground was smashed.

I saw a purple-black shadow wrapped around his legs at some point. It was Nara Shikaku who made the move.

But after all, it was the Five-tailed Jinchūriki who had transformed into a tailed beast. This alone consumed nearly half of Nara Shikaku's chakra, and his face turned pale.

Tamura Hao took the opportunity to rush over, first relying on the falling momentum and the gold-dust Shukaku Dharma Image to hit him hard.

Like a meteorite falling, the Five-tailed Jinchūriki was smashed into the ground, and the tailed beast coat was almost smashed. The ground within a hundred meters around was even more trembling and shattered, which showed the horror of the impact.

"Gold-dust seal!"

This was not over yet. The Shukaku Dharma Image was quickly condensed into a pyramid shape, and the seal was forcibly sealed with the seal of Shukaku. Moreover, the weight of the gold-dust was even greater, and the blessing of the heavy rock technique also suppressed the Five-tailed Jinchūriki even more.

The Five-tailed Jinchūriki did not expect the other party to use such a method, and was suppressed and wrapped up without noticing for a moment.

However, he would not give up, and he burst out a stronger tailed beast chakra to fight back, trying to break free by force.

But this is exactly what Tamura Hao wanted. The roots of the Creation Lotus extended from the seal in his abdomen, quickly absorbing the tailed beast chakra burst out by the Five-tailed Jinchūriki.

Of course, it would be even better if he could take the opportunity to kill the Five-tailed Jinchūriki.

The Rock Ninjas outside saw that their own tailed beast Jinchūriki was suppressed by the other party's seal, and they were immediately anxious. They burst out with all their strength and wanted to break through and destroy the seal.

Jiraiya and his men also burst out with all their strength to block, because they planned to fight quickly and would retreat immediately regardless of success or failure, so they did not count the burst of chakra loss, and defended strictly, not letting a single Rock Ninja pass.
