Just as Minato Namikaze had guessed, Kakashi Hatake and the other two encountered a major crisis.

When he first encountered the clay puppets, it was in the corridor where the Chidori could exert its power. With the sharp sound of birds singing, Hatake Kakashi pierced through dozens of puppets in one fell swoop, turning them into pieces on the ground on the spot.

As the clay dolls recovered and replenished, Kakashi became weak after five consecutive attacks. He stared in amazement as Uzumaki Naruto created more shadow clones than the clay dolls, wielding the Rasengan to hit the clay dolls one by one, breaking them into dust.

What’s even more exaggerated is Uzumaki Naruto’s endurance and chakra capacity, which simply makes Five Strikes Man Kakashi dumbfounded.

He muttered in his heart:

[With more chakra than the Fourth Hokage Orochimaru, a shadow clone that is not afraid of death, and an indestructible ninjutsu, is this kid really a Genin? ]

[I feel like if I can’t take this guy down right from the start, even I will be worn out by him.]

[Who on earth arranged for me to be this kid's teacher? My style and chakra attributes are totally incompatible with his. ]

(The late Third Hokage was clearly sleeping in the Pure Land, but in his dream, his brows suddenly knitted together, as if someone had shot an arrow into his heart, causing him to be unable to breathe due to the pain.)

But no matter how powerful the chakra is, it cannot withstand the fierce attack of Uzumaki Naruto. After more than half an hour of fighting, he was exhausted and handed over the battle to Might Guy, panting heavily.

The young man in the green tights performed steadily from beginning to end. He is still not red in the face or out of breath even now, and he maintains the rhythm of one punch and one kick to the clay doll.

But the biggest problem with physical skills is that their coverage is limited, and their destructive efficiency is not as good as that of the Rasengan.

The defense circle that Might Guy can maintain is very limited, and those clay dolls can almost touch the bodies of Kakashi and Uzumaki Naruto.

The three-person team finally stopped moving forward, leaned against a corner of the corridor, and maintained a stable defense.

Every time Kakashi recovered some of his chakra, or Uzumaki Naruto recovered his strength, they would take the opportunity to launch a charge and advance to the next safe corner in one breath.

But such tactics are not safe.

Hatake Kakashi frowned and said, "We can't go on like this, otherwise the enemy will catch up with our rhythm and set a trap ahead."

Uzumaki Naruto asked: "So what should we do?"

Kakashi thought for a moment and said, "Let's rest for a while, and then I'll make an impromptu decision to move forward a few corners to reduce the predictability of the action as much as possible."

Might Guy nodded and said, "Okay, let's do this."

While the Konoha ninjas were worried, Loulan's minister An Lushan, the rebel ninja Baizu from Sand Village, felt even more uncomfortable.

He couldn't accept the fact before him and was tearing his mustache frantically.

"This is impossible. My dragon vein puppet is invincible. How could it be unable to defeat the Konoha ninja?"

"It's OK for the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze. Although he is no longer the Fourth Hokage in this world, his strength is still so strong that it makes people despair."

"From the beginning, I never expected the army of clay puppets to defeat and kill him. What I wanted was to trap him and make him die of exhaustion like the Third Raikage."

"But what are these three young Konoha ninjas?"

"I totally expected Hatake Kakashi to be so powerful, but who is this guy with a melon head and green tights? How come he is so good at fighting?"

"And this golden-haired Konoha Genin, why is a Genin so good at fighting?"

"This doesn't make any sense. Are Konoha ninjas so powerful? Can I really conquer the ninja world?"

Suddenly, Baizu lost confidence in the plan he had planned for ten years and executed for four years, and he was on the verge of collapse.

He grabbed his hat off and said to himself, "No, I am also a puppeteer who has fought in two wars. Konoha ninjas are not that powerful. These ninjas must be special cases!"

"Yes, it must be like this, otherwise why would the Sand Village fight in the Third Ninja World War? We would all be wiped out if we participated in the war for the second time!"

Baizu laughed crazily: "Hahaha, I told you, I can't be that weak!"

"Since Konoha Village has sent out Minato Namikaze, the future Hokage, I should also show corresponding combat strength, otherwise it would be a waste of dragon vein energy."

He stood up from behind his desk and slowly walked to the window, looking at where Kakashi's team was, and then at where Queen Loulan was.

Baizu laughed and said, "Well, although the queen's poison has been cured, her physical strength cannot be restored immediately, so I still have plenty of time."

"Let me kill these three boys first, and then carry their heads to fight against Minato Namikaze."

"It is said that Namikaze Minato is a ninja who loves his subordinates very much. I am holding the heads of his subordinates. I think I can attract his full attention. He will not stop until he kills me, right?"

"As long as Minato Namikaze refuses to let me go, I will have the opportunity to exhaust his physical strength and make him die of exhaustion like the Third Raikage."

Baizu laughed even louder, rushed out of the office window madly, and rushed towards the floor where Hatake Kakashi and the others were.

When the centipede broke through the window of the building and entered the building again, his feet were still in his office.

It turns out that Baizu is also a fan of human puppets. After obtaining the power of the dragon veins, in order to better occupy and use the power of the dragon veins and avoid being turned into a stone statue by the dragon veins, he simply transformed himself into an unprecedented clay puppet.

The form that the centipede now displays is the centipede form that focuses more on maneuverability and lethality.

When Baizu was still a puppeteer of the Sand Village, the centipede puppet was his favorite puppet form, and he even used the alias of the centipede as his own name.

Unfortunately, as an ordinary puppeteer, he lacks a truly capable teacher, nor does he have senior elders in the Sand Village, and he is not even able to demonstrate jaw-dropping talent.

As a puppeteer with nothing, no matter what design Baizu had, he didn't have the resources to make his ideal puppet.

Without the ideal puppet, he could not construct a suitable combat system according to his own ideas. He could only adapt to the puppet's tactics based on the basic puppets he could get.

This is also an important reason why Baizu has been trapped in the Chunin class for a long time.

Puppet master is such a resource-intensive profession, and for a Sand Village ninja of ordinary background, it is a dead end.

It is precisely because of such restrictions that Baizu was crazy enough to start researching human puppets.

But even if he was studying human puppets, he did not have enough resources to launch large-scale research like Scorpion did, so Baizu's research object was himself from the very beginning, and the goal of the research was how to transform himself.

It's such a sad story.

But it was all not in vain after all. After he traveled through time to this new ninja world and gained the right to use the dragon veins through deception, all his crazy designs could be realized.

This is how the centipede-shaped clay puppet in front of us came into being.

The ferocious centipede broke in through the window and scattered Kakashi Hatake, Might Guy and Uzumaki Naruto in one fell swoop, making the three of them unable to support each other and trapped in the encirclement of puppets.

This forced all three of them into a desperate situation.

The most dangerous one among them is Kakashi Hatake. He is a standard ninja with high burst and high damage, who relies on killing the enemy first to win.

In this closed and narrow environment, facing the clay puppets which were enemies in large numbers and had strong regeneration abilities, he became completely passive after exhausting his chakra.

Moreover, clay dolls are puppets that do not require control, and their vital parts are hidden deep inside the thick shell. Kakashi soon discovered that sharp damage was meaningless.

With just a few strikes, the long sword he was equipped with broke inside the clay doll's body.

He took out a kunai, but found that even if he inserted the entire blade into his chest, it could not reach the core part of his chest.

Kakashi Hatake could only hold the kunai in his hand and use it like a brass knuckles, first smashing the clay doll's chest and then destroying the core part.

Only this kind of attack can keep the puppet damaged for the longest time, so Kakashi's physical strength was consumed greatly and he soon fell into a state of exhaustion.

In contrast to him, his other two companions, whether it was the Genin Naruto Uzumaki, or Might Guy who had just been promoted to Chunin, both maintained plenty of energy and fought with the puppets loudly.

At this moment, Kakashi Hatake finally understood why Minato Namikaze kept emphasizing to him the value of physical fitness and physical skills.

Sweat flowed out of the hair, soaked the eyebrows, passed over the eyelashes, and finally entered the eyes, stinging the eyes with itchy and stinging pain.

Kakashi shook his head desperately to shake off the sweat, but his vision was still blurry.

As a ninja who relies on agility to dodge, the consequences of blurred vision when being besieged can be fatal.

A huge clay doll's fist hit Kakashi's back, causing him to stagger and fall into the clay debris on the ground, knocked unconscious.

With his head buried in the clay, Kakashi became much more sober. He took the opportunity to wipe his face, turned over and stood up to continue fighting, but the space he could move around in became smaller and smaller.

He knew he would soon give up, and muttered, "It turns out that the teacher is right. Ninjutsu alone cannot solve all problems."

From the outside, it looked like Hatake Kakashi was surrounded by a dozen clay dolls, with dozens of sturdy arms flying up and down like ears of rice being beaten by flails.

Might Guy and Uzumaki Naruto were shocked when they saw this.

"Youth must be protected, and now is the time for youth to bloom!" A green aura emerged from Might's body, and he blew away several puppets in one fell swoop, and rushed towards Kakashi with a roar.

Baizu stopped Might Guy one step ahead and blocked his full-strength kick with his chest.

But what he didn't expect was that his chest was kicked through, and Might Guy was pierced through like a cannonball.

Baizu looked at the huge hole in his chest in bewilderment and murmured, "How is this possible?"

Through the big hole in his chest that was slowly healing, he saw Might Guy rushing to Kakashi and with a simple whirlwind kick, smashing all the puppets into pieces.

Kakashi Hatake stared at Gai in amazement, unable to believe this clumsy and "weak" companion.

He asked, "Kai, how come you are so strong? How come your chakra is so powerful?"

Might Guy grinned and said, "Kakashi, this is the Eight Gates Ninjutsu, a 'forbidden technique' that can only be used to protect your companions and the village."

"I can only open six doors, and it takes a lot of toll on my body."

"So I can't do it anymore. I'll leave it to you next."

Might Guy fell to the ground with a groan and fell into a coma.

Kakashi Hatake was completely confused. He looked up in confusion and exchanged glances with the Centipede who was observing the situation on the battlefield through the big hole in his chest.

But as the chest closed, Baizu also reacted. He turned around and launched a new attack: "Haha, you scared me, it turned out to be an explosion."

"Go to hell, Konoha ninjas!"

The huge centipede's body coiled like a dragon and rushed towards Hatake Kakashi.

Kakashi actually realized it a long time ago. His confusion and helplessness were just a disguise. He just wanted to buy time and recover as much chakra as possible so that he could use Chidori again.

Baizu is their mission target and is obviously the controller of these puppets.

Kakashi judged that as long as he could take down the centipede in front of him, he would be able to end this extremely passive battle.

The one-hit-kill rhythm was the one he was most familiar with. In the past, countless Sand Village, Rock Village, and Cloud Village ninjas had fallen under his attacks. This time would be no exception, and he would definitely be able to take down the enemy accurately and ruthlessly.

"In order to protect my companions and complete the mission, I must not make any mistakes!"

He certainly didn't make any mistakes.

The chidori let out a fierce bird cry, and turned into a straight lightning that pierced through the centipede's head and chest, cutting most of the huge centipede's body in half, and it fell softly to the sides like a banana peel.

Uzumaki Naruto cheered, "Teacher Kakashi is awesome, your shots are so accurate!"

However, the next moment he was knocked away by a huge fist and fell heavily into the pile of puppets.

Those clay puppets did not lose control because their centipedes were split in half, but continued to attack steadily as if their controllers were not injured.

Soon Kakashi and Might Guy were overwhelmed, and Uzumaki Naruto could no longer care about anything else and began to call for the Nine-Tails in his heart.

This time, without the interference of Might Guy's sudden outburst of the Eight Gates, Uzumaki Naruto successfully awakened the Nine-Tails' chakra and covered himself with a thick red tailed beast robe.

The extremely strong and concentrated chakra of the tailed beasts showed an unimaginable corrosiveness, and just getting close to it would corrode the clay into pits.

Since the corrosion of the Nine-Tails Chakra becomes stronger the closer it is to the ground, the puppets fell down one after another because of their broken legs.

Uzumaki Naruto didn't notice all this at all. The moment he put on the tailed beast robe, he turned into a red fire train and rushed towards Hatake Kakashi and Might Guy.

Any puppet that stood in his way was smashed to pieces on the spot like a flower pot hit by a train, and was burned into nothingness in the orange Nine-Tails Chakra, never to be restored.

Might Guy was sleeping soundly and knew nothing, but Kakashi Hatake had received the most complete education and recognized at a glance that it was the Tailed Beast Chakra.

Then, he determined the identity of Uzumaki Naruto - the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

At the same time, Kakashi Hatake no longer had confidence in his judgment that Naruto was Minato Namikaze's child.

As one of the core members of the top leadership of Konoha Village and the default candidate for the Fifth Hokage, how could Minato Namikaze's son become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?

And in the words of Uzumaki Naruto, Namikaze Minato directly replaced Orochimaru and became the Fourth Hokage.

Even though this sounds incredible, Minato's identity is even more valuable, and his son absolutely cannot become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

The son of the Fourth Hokage is Konoha's strongest weapon, so what should the Fifth Hokage do after the Fourth Hokage?

How can he control the most powerful living weapon?

Unless this weapon becomes the new Hokage, it will become a deadlock in the inheritance of Hokage, and it is a deadlock that can never be circumvented or untied.

But the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki becoming the Hokage... Hatake Kakashi shook his head. Neither he nor the current Konoha Village could imagine such a possibility.

A fox's tail was dancing behind Uzumaki Naruto, and the orange tailed beast robe was wrapped around his body. All the puppets he destroyed fell to the ground and turned into pools of wasteland.

In any case, the crisis has been resolved for the time being.

The centipede stared at the changes in front of it in amazement. Its puppet-like eyes actually fell off in fright, and it jumped and rolled away on the ground.

He was a useless Chunin puppeteer who had never seen the Nine-Tails, not to mention that it had never been on the battlefield. He had never even seen the One-Tails in his own Sand Village. He had no idea that this terrifying chakra was the Tailed Beast Chakra.

However, the suppression of the tailed beast chakra on ordinary ninjas will not weaken just because they don't know, especially it is more intense on the Centipede.

Not only did his body movements become slow, but his recovery speed also slowed down significantly.

The centipede retreated in horror, its huge body curled up in the small room, and its sharp foot knives destroyed all the decorations and puppets.

Then he summoned more puppets, which poured in like a tide and surrounded Uzumaki Naruto.

The centipede howled, "No matter what kind of monster you are, I can definitely overwhelm you with my puppets. My dragon vein puppets are invincible!"

The battle suddenly went beyond the level of ninja combat and became a confrontation between dragon vein creations and the chakra of the tailed beasts.

Under the attack of a large number of dragon vein puppets, Uzumaki Naruto stimulated more Nine-Tails Chakra, causing greater damage, and his chakra was also broken up by the impact of the dragon vein's natural energy, flowing into the sky above Loulan Kingdom and continuously spreading outward.

This is the Nine-Tails Chakra from another ninja world. It carries the breath and rules of another ninja world. As it spread, it quickly came into contact with the local Nine-Tails Chakra, entangled with and repelled each other.

This self-aware chakra began an information exchange, which had a huge impact on both parties.

This influence first affected the two Nine-Tails, and then the two Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
