When the command of the Sand Village ninja collapsed, the attack on Susanoo posed no threat at all.
Uchiha Fugaku simply disbanded Susanoo, used several consecutive body-flickering techniques to rush into the Sand Village ninja group, and then activated Susanoo again.
Although this operation is cumbersome, it can solve the problem of Susanoo's lack of mobility while also giving Fugaku's eyes a rest.
That's why he dared to act so roughly when facing the Sand Village ninjas.
If the opponent was an enemy like Uchiha Yuu, he would most likely be killed the moment Uchiha Fugaku released Susanoo.
Then he could only upgrade Susanoo to the fourth stage to completely solve the problem of lack of mobility, but his eyes would be overwhelmed and he would find it difficult to fight for a long time.
The re-expanded Susanoo held two chakra swords. The huge swords were wider than a person. When swung, they were able to cover half of the stone bridge, leaving the Sand Village ninjas with nowhere to hide.
If a Sand Ninja is attacked by the giant sword, his chakra will shatter him into pieces and he will die a tragic death.
Although Uchiha Fugaku had not been on the battlefield for the previous ten years, his fighting consciousness was activated after being beaten up by Uchiha You.
At this time, he took full advantage of his rich combat experience and wielded the two chakra swords tightly, clearing the South Gate Stone Bridge in just a dozen seconds.
Even Minato Namikaze, who had fought hard before, could not hide and had to jump onto the head of Susanoo to avoid the attack of the giant chakra sword.
Fugaku demonstrated the attack power of Susanoo to the fullest.
Having lost the leadership of their senior ninjas, the Sand Village ninjas who escaped off the bridge were at a loss as to what to do.
While they were still in shock, Aburame Shiwei, whose presence was almost invisible, took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, using parasitic insects to inject a deadly poison into the Sand Village ninjas, and killed a small number of them silently.
By the time the Sand Village ninjas realized they were being ambushed, there were less than fifty of them left.
The Sand Village ninjas understood that their defensive mission had completely failed, and the most important thing now was to convey the news of the loss of the stone bridge to other Sand Village ninjas.
"Run! Ask for help from ninjas everywhere!"
Namikaze Minato shouted: "Kill! We can't let them escape!"
"If we keep the information secret for one hour, we can delay the game for another hour, and the pressure on our defense will be reduced a lot!"
Uchiha Fugaku didn't bother to chop the stone bridge anymore. He disbanded Susanoo and began to chase after the fleeing Sand Village ninjas.
His Sharingan moved, and in an instant he counted the number of fleeing enemies, and shouted, "47 in total. Each of them will be chased for half an hour, and then we will count... huh?"
Just now, Minato Namikaze rushed into the group of Sand Village ninjas, and what he showed was mainly agility rather than speed.
Although Uchiha Fugaku was secretly surprised at Minato's speed, he did not feel shocked in his heart.
But as the Sand Village ninjas scattered and fled, and Namikaze Minato began to pursue them, his instant body movement technique seemed so terrifying.
Namikaze Minato's body-flickering technique can cover a distance of 150 meters, while Uchiha Fugaku needs at least two or three times.
Namikaze Minato's control of the instant body movement technique is even more precise. He can appear behind the enemy without any error every time. He is a ninja running at high speed.
Minato's attack speed was equally fast. His classic stabbing in the kidneys and wiping the neck were concise. None of the Sand Village ninjas had time to react and were killed.
It didn't even take a second for Minato to kill the enemy.
Then he used a teleportation technique to appear behind the next enemy, stabbed him in the waist and cut his neck cleanly, killing another one.
Under the gaze of Uchiha Fugaku, Namikaze Minato took about a minute to run a large circle at high speed and killed all 47 fleeing Sand Village ninjas.
When Minato Namikaze walked back holding a bloody kunai, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but shiver. He felt a chill on his back and cold beads of sweat flowed down his spine.
He couldn't help but be afraid.
Namikaze Minato's speed was too fast. If he wanted to kill Uchiha Fugaku, he wouldn't even be able to deploy Susanoo and would be stabbed in the kidney.
No wonder Minato Namikaze was assigned as the captain of the team. The Fourth Hokage Orochimaru had a very accurate vision.
Uchiha Fugaku used to think that he was the strongest, but who knew that Minato was also a Kage-level ninja, and he was able to kill a strong man like himself.
Fugaku couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
He is a ninja who possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan. He has always thought himself to be invincible, but he has endured for many years only for the sake of his family's interests.
Who would have thought that after really showing the Sharingan, he would find that he was not invincible at all. It could even be said that any ninja he met would be able to defeat or even kill him.
When did the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan become so worthless?
After the three-person team reunited, Minato Namikaze took out a kettle and poured water to wash the blood off his body.
It was not until then that he realized that the blade of his kunai had become so bumpy that he didn't even know whose body the tip had broken off on.
He was so nervous just now that he didn't even notice it.
Fortunately, he was strong enough to stab into the human body without a sharp tip, and he could still cut the enemy's throat without a blade.
Minato Namikaze shook his head and dropped the kunai in his hand.
Watching his actions, Aburame Shiwei quietly swallowed her saliva and asked, "Captain Minato, what should we do next?"
After this battle, Namikaze Minato's position as captain was completely consolidated. Not only did Aburame Shiwei change her way of addressing Minato and call him captain, even the veteran Fugaku stared at Minato, quietly waiting for his decision.
Minato Namikaze looked at the surrounding environment and quickly came up with a plan for his next course of action.
He pointed at the badly damaged South Gate Stone Bridge and said, "Senior Fugaku, please destroy the stone bridge. Then we will leave the agreed code and hide nearby."
"If it's the Sand Village Ninjas coming, ambush them. If it's the Konoha Ninjas coming, call them to ambush together until the Sand Village Ninjas are defeated at the front line."
Uchiha Fugaku nodded and agreed: "Captain Minato's plan is reasonable. I will destroy the stone bridge now."
Aburame Shiwei asked, "There is no problem in following the captain's plan, but what if the Sand Village ninja is defeated in the end?"
"Our small team can't stop a large number of Sand Ninjas."
Uchiha Fugaku said with a smile: "Let alone our team, even if there are ten more teams, we won't be able to stop them. We should retreat at that time."
Namikaze Minato shook his head and said, "The order I received specifically emphasized that retreat is not allowed."
"What?"
Uchiha Fugaku and Aburame Shiwei were shocked at the same time. How could they not be allowed to retreat? The Sand Village ninjas were running for their lives when they retreated. They would definitely fight desperately when they saw the Konoha ninjas blocking the road.
If 1,000 people rushed over, the three of them could barely handle it, but if 5,000 or 6,000 ninjas came, they would all die here.
Uchiha Fugaku was able to keep his composure, but Aburame Shiwei was still young, so he complained, "Did the Fourth Hokage get tricked? How could he issue such a fatal order?"
Namikaze Minato was also quite nervous. He licked his lips and said, "Maybe it's not an order that will kill us. I saw it written in the order that ninjas will come to support us at the critical moment..."
Aburame Shiwei didn't believe it. He adjusted his sunglasses and complained quietly, "What support? The ones who can break through the Sand Village ninja formation and rush to us are only a few ninjas at most."
"What's the point of having a few ninjas? Aren't they just going to die?"
Minato Namikaze opened his mouth but didn't know how to explain, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
Uchiha Fugaku sighed and advised: "Don't let your imagination run wild. Lord Hokage must have his own considerations. He won't let us die for no reason."
"Hahaha, former clan leader Fugaku, you are still so concerned about the higher-ups, but you don't care much about yourself, your friends, and your subordinates."
The sudden laughter and words startled Aburame Shiwei, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but look gloomy, while Namikaze Minato's eyes lit up.
It was Uchiha You who came to the South Gate Stone Bridge and happened to hear what Uchiha Fugaku said.
After experiencing the events of the Third Hokage, he overthrew Uchiha Fugaku and took the throne of the clan leader himself, and he did not treat this Mangekyo harshly afterwards.
In particular, Uchiha Yu told Fugaku many secrets and let him know his past mistakes, so that Fugaku hated himself and Sarutobi Hiruzen to the core.
He actually chose to be under house arrest as a sign of repentance and relinquishment.
As a result, Fugaku earned Uchiha Yu's forgiveness, which allowed him to recommend him to Orochimaru to join the raiding party.
But Uchiha You never expected that this guy's attitude would make a 180-degree turn after being comforted by Orochimaru, and he would be full of blind obedience to the Fourth Hokage again.
It is true that it is difficult to change one's nature.
Therefore, he couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
Namikaze Minato's eyes sparkled, and he said in surprise: "It turns out that it is Yu-senpai who is supporting us. That's great."
Aburame Shiwei murmured, "The Fourth Hokage is really generous. He even sent the strongest man in Konoha Village."
Uchiha You shook his head and said, "Well, actually I was not sent by the Fourth Hokage, and I don't know who he will send for support."
"ah?"
The three ninjas were stunned.
Uchiha You raised a finger and said jokingly: "I guess the Fourth Hokage will come over and stand in front of you to show off his strength. I am actually here to steal his limelight."
As soon as Uchiha You finished speaking, Orochimaru appeared.
He retorted angrily: "Ha, Yu-kun, you are the strongest man in Konoha, maybe even the strongest man in the ninja world, how dare I compete with you for the limelight."
When the ninjas of the Namikaze team saw Orochimaru, they immediately stood up and bowed their heads, shouting in unison: "Fourth Hokage!"
Orochimaru looked at the three of them and said with a satisfied smile: "The mission was accomplished beautifully."
He looked at Minato Namikaze again and praised him, "Minato you did a great job, you are stronger than I thought, and your mind is very clear."
Namikaze Minato smiled and replied: "Thank you Hokage-sama for giving me the opportunity. I am sorry that you took so much trouble in configuring this team."
Orochimaru looked at Minato with a bright smile and felt his amazing friendliness. He couldn't help but nod frequently.
He has strength, brains, infectiousness and affinity. No wonder even Uchiha Fugaku was convinced after just one battle.
Jiraiya is a guy who obviously doesn't have a clear mind, but he has a really good vision, and the students he teaches are more talented than each other.
Especially this kid Minato Namikaze, who was suppressed when he was in the Anbu and didn't show anything special.
Although he was exiled to the front line, he achieved amazing results because no one deliberately suppressed him, and his whole body was glowing.
Orochimaru secretly felt regretful in his heart. He wished that Namikaze Minato was his disciple. Then he would definitely be the best Fifth Hokage.
If he could just work for ten or eight years, he could hand the Hokage hat to Minato, retire peacefully, and focus on studying how to achieve immortality.
Thoughts raced in his mind, but Orochimaru showed nothing on his face. He continued to say to Minato: "The plan you made to destroy the stone bridge and then ambush is correct and very suitable for your situation."
"Even if I come, I will follow your plan."
At this point, Orochimaru turned his head to Uchiha Yuu, and his tone changed accordingly: "But the situation is different now. The strongest ninja in our village is here, so there is no need to destroy the stone bridge."
"Since you are here, it will be safe. I will lead people to encircle the two wings to prevent too many people from escaping."
Uchiha You waved his hand casually, indicating that he understood, and also said: Orochimaru, hurry up and leave.
The Fourth Hokage smiled, turned around and walked away without caring.
The interaction between the two of them was so natural and equal. The Hokage did not have the condescending leadership style, and Uchiha Yuu did not have the consciousness of being a subordinate.
They got along casually like two old friends.
Such a performance was completely beyond the imagination of the other three people, especially Uchiha Fugaku, whose eyes were almost popped out.
Orochimaru hadn't walked far when he suddenly turned around and asked, "How is the person you wanted to save?"
Uchiha You shook his head and replied: "I was too late. Uchiha Obito was already fatally injured. The rescue failed."
Orochimaru nodded and said, "So that's how it is. I understand."
"My condolences."
[Damn it, I'm so sad, isn't this embarrassing? ]
Uchiha You really couldn't fake a sad expression, so he could only frown and put on a poker face.
On the other side, Minato Namikaze was shocked when he heard this, and quickly asked: "Senior Yu, how is Obito? And where are Rin and Kakashi?"
Uchiha You replied: "I sent Obito off personally. Hatake Kakashi and Rin are fine. I asked them to take Obito's ashes and return to the Konoha camp."
Minato's face turned pale and his lips were tightly pursed together.
He is a man with rich emotions. It would have been fine if he had just met Kakashi, but he has been with Uchiha Obito and Rin for quite some time and have established deep relationships with them.
When Minato Namikaze suddenly heard that Obito was gone, he felt extremely sad.
Luckily, he was also a strong ninja with a really big heart, and nothing could bring him down except for Uzumaki Kushina.
After taking a few deep breaths, Minato's complexion returned to normal. He bowed to Uchiha You and thanked him: "Thank you, Senior You, for saving my disciple. Thank you so much."
Uchiha You did not avoid Minato's gift, but accepted it generously.
After that, no one spoke.
Minato Namikaze was digesting his sadness and was also worried about his other two disciples.
Uchiha You was silently absorbing natural energy. As a wooden clone, his innate ability could not be compared with that of his original body, so he needed to hurry up and accumulate more power.
Uchiha Fugaku was reflecting on himself. When Uchiha You knew his clan members were in danger, he would rush to the front line without hesitation. Compared with him, Fugaku felt that he was really unqualified in the past.
Aburame Zhiwei had been ignored by everyone, but he himself was also frightened by the depressing atmosphere. He huddled on the edge of the stone bridge and dared not speak.
It is unusually quiet near the South Gate Stone Bridge. The gentle wind and gurgling water make the surrounding environment even more tranquil.
…
Black Zetsu drilled into a hidden gap, and the natural energy emanating from his body was blocked by the earth and soon disappeared from Uchiha You's perception.
But Uchiha You looked at the surrounding terrain and was sure that he should have found the place. Uchiha Madara was somewhere under his feet.
With Black Zetsu's cunning nature, the route he took must have been very winding, and he would have no idea where he was going after entering.
But it is also certain that the straight-line distance from the entrance to the end point will not exceed 5 kilometers.
Uchiha You was too lazy to go down and look for it. Since he had enough strength, there was no need to go through the dog hole.
"The area with a diameter of 10 kilometers is almost equal to the core area of Konoha Village. It seems that I can't turn it over with my strength."
"Change your thinking. I don't need to turn over such a large area of ground. I can use blasting to lift up the ground. This will be much easier."
"Use the earth spirit magic to dig holes and soften rocks, and use the fire and thunder magic to blast them. There's hope!"
Thinking of Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu under his feet, Uchiha You felt excited, and a huge amount of natural energy surged out.
Natural energy and chakra are combined into fairy chakra in different categories, and then combined into corresponding fairy arts.
Immortal Technique: Suwa Myojin no Jutsu
The thick rock quickly transformed under the magic, from hard granite to loose shale and sandstone. Its hardness and elasticity decreased greatly.
Fairy Technique: Wild Hammer Rock Breaking Technique
After the rock became loosened, it began to deform according to Uchiha Yu's will, and holes leading vertically to the ground were opened one after another.
Fairy Technique: Thunder of Tianyan House
This is a magical technique that combines fire and thunder. The light ball created by this technique has a special blasting frequency, which can form resonance in different rocks and greatly enhance the damage to the rocks.
As the thunder of Tianyanyado penetrated deep into the ground along the vertical hole, Uchiha You was fully prepared to lift up the earth.
Uchiha You said with an excited grin, "My ancestor, I am going to open your coffin lid."
"Oh, does this count as provoking trouble?"
"Pah, he is just the old Uchiha Madara. What's so scary about touching him? With his current strength, he can't even be considered Tai Sui."
Uchiha You slowly put his hands together and made a soft "bang" sound from his mouth.
