Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Fifty kilometers outside Konoha.

Obito stood on the head of the Eight-Tails Gyūki, staring coldly and angrily at the giant fire mushroom that was gradually dissipating in front of him.

"Kyubi Jinchuriki, I underestimated your resolve."

After Obito 'swallowed' Kushina's distress earlier, he controlled Gyuki to launch a frenzied attack.

Following a fierce, earth-shaking physical brawl between the two beasts, they moved on to magical attacks, and finally, as it should be by rights, turn on the 'nuclear' attack.

As a result, Isobu chose to endure a direct hit from Gyuki's Bijudama, and took the opportunity to deliberately misfire his own Bijudama towards Konoha!

Based on Obito's understanding of Isobu's IQ, it is absolutely impossible for him to think of this, so the answer is obvious.

This is Kushina's plan!

She knows that she and Isobu together couldn't defeat him, so she intentionally had Isobu direct his Bijudama towards Konoha to alert Minato!

'I was careless…' Obito gritted his teeth. If he had reacted faster, he could have used Kamui to transfer the Bijudama before it struck towards Konoha!

'Damn it!!'

Obito was burning with rage.

At this time, the surging flames and thick black smoke gradually dissipated from Isobu, revealing a giant blackened turtle, charred inside and out.

'It hurts…'

Isobu staggered and half-knelt on the ground, panting heavily.

At this time, the sharp spines on his head, back, and tails were all blown off by Gyuki's Bijudama, and his thick, tough shell was riddled with cracks, like a delicate porcelain about to shatter.

"Kushina, are you okay?" Isobu weakly asked.

"I'm fine, Isobu, how about you?" Kushina's voice came from under Isobu.

When the Bijudama struck Isobu, Kushina hid Isobu's body. Otherwise, with her flesh and blood body, it would never be possible for her to survive under the Bijudama Gyuki created with his full power.

Kushina ran to the front of Isobu and looked up, her heart aching at the sight.

"I am a Biju. No matter how severe the injuries I suffered, I won't die, so don't worry about me."

When Isobu saw Kushina come out, he collapsed with a thud. Then, he asked weakly, "But was what we did just now really useful?"

"Of course." Kushina smiled confidently.

As long as Minato sees the Bijudama, he would surely know something was wrong here. Unless the battle in the village was so dire that not even a second could be spared, Minato will definitely teleport over to chect!

"Then next…"

Just as Isobu opened his mouth, he was interrupted by a clear voice.

"Leave the rest to me." Minato's voice suddenly came from beside Kushina.

"Minato, you're here!" Kushina was overjoyed and turned to look at Minato.

At this time, Minato had already activated Sage Mode, and there's heavy orange eye shadows appearing on his face.

Minato smiled and nodded at Kushina, then greeted Isobu, and finally turned and looked towards the huge monster several hundred meters away.

"Hachibi, Gyuki…"

Minato's smile gradually faded, "So it was you who captured Kumogakure's Jinchuriki, Uchiha Obito!"

Twelve years ago, when Kushina was giving birth, it was Uchiha Obito who suddenly attacked Konoha and almost killed his wife.

For many years, Minato had always believed Obito had some unspeakable reason that forced him to do this.

But now?

Obito first captured Hachibi's Jinchuriki, Killer B, which almost triggered a war between Konoha and Kumogakure!

And now, he is targeting Kushina again, this time, with Hachibi…

Minato's expression slowly returned to calm, but his blue eyes were filled with a killing intent.

"Hehehehe, we meet again, Yondaime Hokage."

Obito also broke out into laughter caused by anger, "Perfect, today I'll take care of both you and your wife!"

Even though Minato's appearance was due to his own mistake, Obito remained confident!

"Hachibi, attack!" Obito jumped off Gyuki, and coldly commanded.

"Roar!!"

Gyuki roared, and his massive body barreled forward like a tank. At the same time, he swung his octopus tail fiercely towards Minato, and Kushina and Isobu behind him. ɌΑNỖʙĚṧ

"Humph."

Minato let out a light snort, and took out two special kunai with his back hand. He then casually tossed one down and threw the other into the air.

By this time, Gyuki was only tens of meters away from him. The sun is blocked by his huge body, casting a large shadow, and the huge octopus tail is like a mountain f, swept down with a violent gust of wind!

Meanwhile, Obito squinted his right eye, and his scarlet Sharingan is locked onto the special kunai Minato had thrown.

At the next moment.

Minato disappeared from his original spot and suddenly appeared beside the special kunai in midair.

"Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!"

Minato's right hand formed a grasping motion, and with a piercing whirring sound, a raging Rasenshuriken suddenly takes shape, growing larger until it was the size of a millstone in a blink of an eye, covering almost half of Minato's body!

'Sure enough, it is still a bit strenuous…' Minato felt the intense spinning force of the Rasenshuriken in his hand, sensing it was almost slipping out of his control.

Minato no longer hesitated, and hurled Rasenshuriken in his hand to the incoming giant octopus tail.

But at this moment…

Kamui!!

Obito, who was hiding in the dark, finally made his move!

An invisible vortex silently appeared on the Rasenshuriken in Minato's hand. As the vortex swirled, the rapidly spinning Rasenshuriken twisted and was sucked in counterclockwise, as if captured by a black hole!

And that wasn't all… Minato found that his right hand has also begun to twist a little!

'Space-Time Ninjutsu…'n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Minato's face changed slightly. With a move of his thought, he immediately teleported to the ground with Flying Thunder God Technique, and grabbed the special kunai that had not yet landed.

When the Rasenshuriken was completely swallowed by the vortex, the unobstructed octopus tail slammed through the air with a thunderous boom, descending upon them.

"Let's get out of here!"

Minato quickly grabbed Kushina and teleported away. However, Isobu, who was injured by the Bijudama, couldn't escape and was whipped several times by the octopus tail!

'It hurts!'

"Ouuuhhh!" Isobu roared in pain, and opened his mouth to release a Bijudama the size of a human head.

Among the nine Biju, Isobu's Chakra Reserve was among the smallest. Coupled with the previous battle with Gyuki, his Chakra was heavily depleted and he could only muster this small Bijudama now.

Boom!

The Bijudama exploded on Gyuki, and the expanding fire wave and violent energy fluctuations also instantly spread to Isobu himself!

...

Meanwhile.

At the venue of Chunin Exams' finals in Konoha.

At the edge of the forest.

Kakashi had just shifted his attention to the floating Kanpū when an explosion of wind caught his attention. Then, Minato appeared beside him, holding Kushina.

"Kushina, stay here." Minato put Kushina down and disappeared again.
