When Itachi was about to touch the ground, he was caught by Orochimaru. When he rushed over, Orochimaru had already put Itachi on the ground.
In fact, Orochimaru and Itachi were not on good terms. The two of them belonged to different factions. On one side was the Uchiha, and on the other side was the 3rd Hokage, so they usually did not interact much.
But now that the head of the 3rd Hokage, Danzo, had returned, Orochimaru also released some of his goodwill.
“Thank you.” Kagame squatted next to Itachi, and although he did not look up, he still thanked Orochimaru.
However, after Orochimaru put Itachi down, he no longer paid attention to the 5th Hokage. He stood up, and now, his eyes were only on the 4th Hokage, Minato, who had mysteriously disappeared.
He actually came back with Wood Release. What had this 4th Hokage done these days?
Minato did not know that Orochimaru, who was behind him, was still guessing. At this time, he was directly facing the leader of the Akatsuki, Nonou, the new leader who had emerged after the death of Obito.
“I didn’t expect the 4th Hokage to still be alive.” Seeing Minato, Nonou was not surprised. She had just defeated the 5th Hokage, and her confidence was unprecedentedly strong.
Although Minato once led Konoha’s Ninjas to the Akatsuki’s lair, in the end, he was the one who led the Akatsuki to Konoha.
“As long as you are not dead, I will definitely be alive.” Regarding the masked man in his own time and space, Minato hated him very much. The leader of the Akatsuki who brought him to the path of black was his goal.
After saying that, Minato directly picked up the Rasengan in his hand, and with a stomp of his feet, he directly pounced towards Nonou.
Nonou, who had fought with Minato many times, was naturally familiar with all kinds of moves, so she simply avoided Minato’s attack.
“You’re still the same as before.” Nonou, who had dodged the attack, did not forget to mock Minato, “But, did you find a helper this time?”
The helper mentioned by Nonou was the wooden man who was quickly approaching Akatsuki. Although she could not see who was standing on the head of the wooden man, she knew that it must be related to the Senju or Hashirama cells.
“Killing you, just me alone is enough.” Minato looked at Nonou and expressionlessly threw out a kunai.
“Again?” Nonou, who had suffered a few losses, naturally would not neglect Minato’s kunai. She formed a seal with her hands, and a gust of wind blew her kunai to the side. “I won’t suffer this anymore.”
However, as soon as Nonou finished speaking, Minato had already jumped into the air.
In the air, Minato once again threw kunai, but because of the shadow clone, his eyes were full of weapons flying towards her.
“Well, I’ve used it too. It’s been so many years, but you’re still the same.” Before Itachi became the Hokage, Nonou had already fought with Minato countless times. In her opinion, after so many years, the Ninjutsu used by the 4th Hokage was still the same.
Minato’s current performance really made Nonou a little disappointed. When Minato first appeared, her heart tightened. She was afraid that Minato, who had secretly trained back, would give her a big move. But now, it seemed that she was the first to give it to him.
“Wood Release – Great Spear Tree!”
Nonou Yakushi, who had a Hashirama Cells, directly used a giant tree in the smoke, blocking the middle of Nonou and Minato.
Because of Wood Release’s isolation, all the kunais in Minato’s hand fell into the air, unable to touch Nonou at all.
However, before Nonou could be happy, the kunai threw by Female Orochimaru on the tree suddenly exploded, directly blowing up the giant tree made by Nonou. Nonou’s right foot was fixed because of the spear tree. She could only watch as Minato came out of the hole, holding a Rasengan.
“Boom!”
Just as Nonou was about to be hit in the head by Minato, Pain suddenly summoned Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and slapped Minato.
However, Demonic Statue of the Outer Path did not hurt Minato. When the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path’s hand was about to touch it, the Flying Thunder God instantly activated and returned to Washi.
With the help of the Flying Thunder God, Minato did not stay for long. Without saying anything, he directly jumped in the direction of Akatsuki.
“Washi-sama, let me go too.” Tobirama, who was standing next to Washi, was already itching for a fight.
“Didn’t you see what kind of people are down there? If you go, aren’t you just delivering vegetables? Just sit here.” Washi rolled his eyes at Tobirama. This brat wanted to go down and find trouble with Akatsuki?
The opponents are all at the Kage Level. What else can you do if you go down? You might end up in trouble. When the time comes, I don’t know how to explain it to your brother.
“Sigh.” Tobirama sighed. It was too difficult for him not to participate in the battle.
While the two were talking, Hashirama had already controlled the wooden man to smash the head of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to the ground with a punch.
“Boom.”
Although the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was knocked down, the wooden man of Hashirama didn’t stop. He waved his fists and directly smashed the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to the ground.
“This…” Nonou Yakushi watched the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path in front of her being smashed down by Hashirama. This scene had a great impact on her. She had never seen someone who could beat the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to this extent.
No matter if it were for Kirigakure or Sunagakure, which was attacked by Akatsuki, they had never encountered this kind of encounter.
“Who is this?” Just now, Nonou Yakushi had thought that the opponent was a Kekkei Genkai from the Senju Clan, but now it seemed that it was definitely not the case.
“Shinra Tensei!”
Seeing Demonic Statue of the Outer Path being crushed, she hurriedly rushed to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and used Shinra Tensei, intending to knock the wooden man away.
However, Shinra Tensei, who had always been successful, lost its effectiveness in the hands of the wooden man!
Pain looked up at the wooden man who was only half a step back, not knowing what to do. The strength of the other side was somewhat beyond the expectations of all the members of Akatsuki.
“Quick! Retreat first!” At this time, Nonou also maintained her usual rationality. Since the opponent was strong, she would retreat for the time being.
However, Hashirama, who was standing in front of them, did not want these members of the Akatsuki who were attacking Konoha to leave. “Wood Release – Advent of a World of Flowering Trees…”
