Chapter 152: Konoha's rise and fall, this is the one strike The sound of breaking air was heard, and this time it was the ninjas from Konoha who came. However, unlike the crucial appearance of Konan and Shiba Kiyokawa just now to save the Akatsuki organization from danger, the arrival of this Konoha ninja at this moment not only did not provide any help to the Konoha battle situation on the scene, but instead further destroyed the confidence of the ninjas on the front line, giving a severe boost to the morale that was already sliding into a trough! This Konoha ninja who came hurriedly and in a disheveled state was not here to save the situation at all, but to complain and ask for help. "Minato-sama, why didn't you rush to our part of the battlefield as originally planned? Have you abandoned us?" At that moment, Minato Namikaze's heart skipped a beat and tightened violently! He wanted to explain, but at that moment his throat seemed to be stuck and he was so dry that he couldn't utter a word. He had never expected that the tactics he had learned from Shiba Kiyokawa would turn into a sharp blade and hit him hard on the back! The long and narrow battle line stretched for hundreds of kilometers. This time, Namikaze Minato chose to imitate Shiba Kiyokawa's previous tactical routine and organized multiple troops to launch simultaneous raids on multiple weak points on the battle line! Konoha's original idea was perfect: multi-line attack could hide their main attack direction in the early stages. After observing the enemy's reaction, Minato Namikaze could use the fastest and most powerful mobility in the ninja world to provide support back and forth between multiple battlefields at any time. This will achieve breakthroughs at multiple points and penetrate the entire line! The pre-war conception was extremely rich! But the reality of the feedback now is extremely bleak... In the crucial ten minutes before that, Minato Namikaze failed to break through the joint defense of the four battalions of the Akatsuki organization, which became the decisive foreshadowing that shook the situation! Although Minato Namikaze caused exaggerated casualties on his own and achieved quite good results.
But the problem is still the same problem - Now in the northern part of Konoha, there is no one else who can stand up and help Minato Namikaze share the pressure. On the other hand, the Akatsuki organization still has Nagato and his invincible Pain! The Konoha ninja who came to complain and ask for help at this moment was on a battlefield that had just been destroyed by the Akatsuki mobile battalion with three Pains! There is also the front-line staff, the nominal second-in-command of the Northern Front, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who is highly expected by the village elders and retired Hokage! However, the result did not change at all... With the three Pains joining forces, all beings are equal, and collapse is very natural. Even the support forces of Iwagakure came over to help. Now, under the pursuit led by Huang Tu, the remaining Konoha ninjas are still fleeing for their lives. The ninja who arrived had fallen behind while escaping. Driven by the unwillingness in his heart, he simply changed direction and ran towards the direction that Minato Namikaze had decided to attack before the battle. The purpose was to come here and ask Minato Namikaze in person why he did not keep his pre-war promise and abandoned them in front of an invincible enemy! This man's questioning was like a sharp blade, helping Shiba Kiyokawa stab Namikaze Minato with the most painful and heart-wrenching blow since the battle! At that moment, Shiba Kiyokawa laughed from the bottom of his heart. After the brief fight just now, he has realized that it is unlikely that he will be able to defeat Minato Namikaze today. But so what? It doesn't matter if you won a small round in the tactical confrontation? In the strategic overall situation of this battle, Konoha was defeated after all! At that moment, Minato Namikaze turned his sidewards to the sunset in the sky, allowing the fading glow to cast mottled shadows on his face. His dim eyes made it impossible to see his emotions clearly. The dazzling light seemed to dim, and the perfect self-confidence was also broken. Although the next moment, he launched another Flying Thunder God attack while trying to explain: "I didn't abandon anyone! The enemy is very strong, everyone, please fight bravely, for Konoha, for our village!" But at this moment, even the encouragement he spoke out could not escape the influence of the Akatsuki organization. The impact that the fanatical and fearless fighting spirit and slogans of those people in the Akatsuki organization had brought to him was truly too shocking. However, Minato Namikaze did not understand that slogans alone are useless.
Such mobilization requires long-term and continuous awareness indoctrination! And the most crucial difference is that the Akatsuki organization has long been accustomed to Shiba Kiyokawa's oath, but the ninjas of Konoha usually hear him say the most: It's okay, I will solve it! I will handle it! Trust me! It’s not that Minato Namikaze’s self-confidence is a bad thing, he has his own leadership style. But precisely because his past style was too distinct, once there were changes and fluctuations, the Konoha ninjas who followed him would naturally feel it particularly strongly! Therefore, this encouraging remark did not have the expected effect in a short period of time. Instead, it made the Konoha ninjas who had always believed in Minato Namikaze see his powerlessness more clearly. Especially the next moment, when Minato Namikaze took the initiative to abandon Shiba Kiyokawa and used Flying Thunder God to flash into the Akatsuki team, intending to kill a large number of Akatsuki ninjas again, but was caught up and stopped by Shiba Kiyokawa, the morale of Konoha was declining more and more unstoppable! Using the "Flash Body Technique" to catch up with the "Flying Thunder God" at the critical moment, Shiba Kiyokawa used his katana to block the attack of Namikaze Minato, and at the same time burst out with ice escape, using the ice wind to blow away more kunai scattered on the ground around him! "What's wrong, Lord Namikaze Minato? Are you afraid to fight me? Are you scared?" Even though Shiba Kiyokawa had gritted his teeth and tried his best to catch up with Namikaze Minato's speed, even though sweat was constantly dripping from his forehead and even the cold wind from the ice escape could not blow away his sweat, his high concentration even caused a dull pain in his temple. But at this moment he still kept shouting provocative and crazy words, as if he had the upper hand! This kind of behavior would be considered extremely clownish villain behavior in any other film set, and the following plot is doomed to be humiliated. However, at this time and place, these arrogant words became the poison that constantly destroyed Minato Namikaze's defense! It was also the sharp blade that tore the hearts of Konoha people! For a moment, even the usually gentle Minato Namikaze was forced by Kiyokawa Shiba to look hideous! "Shiba Kiyokawa, do you really think you won?" Amidst the roars, several kunai were thrown out in an instant! The continuous flashes of Flying Thunder God created a series of phantoms in front of Shiba Qinghe's eyes! This time it’s a true zero-frame start! This time it is the most authentic legend of the fastest speed in the ninja world! In a dozen frames, Minato Namikaze launched Flying Thunder God at least a dozen times, completely breaking free from Shiba Kiyokawa's perception lock! At this moment, Namikaze Minato was forced by Shiba Kiyokawa to show his most fanatical and desperate side! Throw away all reason and calculation! At this moment, Minato Namikaze completely let go of his obsession with being the commander of Konoha, found his purest original intention to fight, and burst out at his maximum speed in a small space! Misleading illusion? Too late! Refraction is dazzling? I don’t know where to focus! Ice crystals to protect the body? So funny, there is no way to protect it! For a moment, Shiba Kiyokawa seemed to smell the scent of death very clearly! The bright red word "Wei" flashed above his head, and he seemed to have seen his grandmother from his previous life smiling at him. "King Kong Blockade!" The last of the unsealed methods was unleashed, and chains stretched out from behind. Not daring to hesitate, he immediately protected his head, neck, and heart in his chest! "boom!" The next moment, before the chain was fully in place, a terrifying impact had already hit him directly in the chest! His Diamond Seal is an unincorporated ninjutsu, but so is Minato Namikaze's Rasengan! This time, Namikaze Minato rolled the balls at the fastest speed he had ever achieved in his life, and veins on his arms and forehead bulged! In just a dozen frames, both sides are gambling on their maximum speed and reaction! For the usually elegant Minato Namikaze, this was probably the first time in his life that someone forced him into such a crazy, ferocious, and murderous state. This time, Minato Namikaze really bet everything on this Rasengan! The gentle and thrifty Namikaze Minato rarely made such life-risking attempts in the past, but this time, he was really forced into a corner by Shiba Kiyokawa with no way out! The conflict happened in a split second and others were completely unable to react. Only Xiaonan seemed to sense something, turned around suddenly, and shouted in fear, "Qinghe!" The other ninjas didn't even realize at the first moment that a gamble of "the rise and fall of Konoha depends on one blow" was happening before their eyes. too fast! Everything happened so fast! It was not until circles of gas clouds exploded in the air and Shiba Kiyokawa was blown away by Minato's fatal blow that everyone looked back as if they had just woken up from a dream.
The Konoha ninja opened his mouth in shock and surprise and was about to cheer. But the next moment, they only saw—— Shiba Kiyokawa fell to the ground, stuck his sword into the ground, and knelt on his knees, but still raised his head stubbornly. The healing ninjutsu is running at full capacity, protecting his heart meridian to the maximum extent! Even though the blow fractured his sternum and spurted out blood that soaked his front, even though his life was like a candle in the wind, he still smiled defiantly. At this moment, even though Shiba Kiyokawa was kneeling with half of his body almost buried in the coffin, he was still asking contemptuously with his rotten and hoarse vocal cords. "Haha, yellow flash, is that it?" The Konoha ninja's final surprise was forever frozen on his face. (End of this chapter)
