Chapter 325 Konoha Ninja Encounters Planetary Devastation!

Chapter 325 Konoha Ninja Encounters Planetary Devastation!

"Planetary Devastation!"

Nagato raised his hands to his chest, palms facing each other, and the chakra between his palms condensed, eventually turning into a black sphere that shimmered with black light.

"Stop him now!"

Minato Namikaze sensed the terrifying chakra emanating from the black sphere and knew that the enemy was about to use an extremely terrifying ninjutsu, so he immediately ordered an attack.

The surrounding Konoha ninjas immediately sprang into action, launching attacks with their ninjutsu.

The ninjutsu primarily consisted of fire and wind techniques, accompanied by a large number of bladed weapons, all aimed at Yahiko and his two companions in the center of the canyon.

In the recent battle, Naruto was taken back by Minato Namikaze, so Yahiko formed hand seals, and the rocks and water on the ground mixed together to form a damp mud wall, blocking the attack from behind the three.

Most of Sasori's puppets were destroyed, and now only the Third Kazekage's human puppet remains capable of fighting.

Under Scorpion's control, a large amount of iron sand floated in the air, forming a huge shield to block attacks from the front.

However, the Konoha ninjas possessed a wide variety of ninjutsu and were all strong. Upon seeing their attack being blocked, they immediately increased their attack power and broke through the defense in just a few seconds.

However, those few seconds were enough; the black sphere floated into the air and began to generate a huge suction force.

Everyone felt lightheaded, as if they were about to float away into the air like dandelions.

rustling... crackling... rumbling...

The sounds of dust flying, trees breaking, and the earth cracking came from the surrounding mountains. Everything seemed to stir, gradually breaking free from Mother Earth's embrace and flying into the air.

"Everyone, get out of here!"

"Get at least a kilometer away!"

"It's too late, help me!"

"Tian Jiu, grab my hand!"

As everyone fled high into the air, the ground began to crack rapidly, with large swathes of land floating in the air and crashing into the black sphere.

Some people are so powerful that they can leap and dodge among the flying rocks, escaping the range of gravitational waves at extremely high speeds.

Some people, who were less capable or simply unlucky, were sucked into the air along with the rising rocks and trees.

Most people are just struggling to escape and survive; very few have the ability to rescue others.

Amidst the panic, Minato Namikaze bravely stepped forward.

He shot a kunai towards a place far from gravity, then turned and shot a large number of kunai into the sky, all of which were engraved with the Flying Thunder God technique formula.

Using these kunai, Minato Namikaze used the Flying Thunder God Technique to instantly appear beside a helpless and struggling Konoha ninja. He grabbed the ninja's back with his left hand, but instead of immediately using the Flying Thunder God Technique to retreat, he grabbed the kunai he had just shot with his right hand and shot it at another Konoha ninja who needed rescue.

After doing all this, Minato Namikaze took the ninja to a safe location.

Before the ninja's panicked expression had faded, he found himself in a relatively safe place where the suction force had decreased significantly, and Minato Namikaze beside him had disappeared again.

The ninja immediately turned and continued to flee, his heart filled with gratitude.

"Thank you, Lord Hokage!"

In this way, Minato Namikaze used the Flying Thunder God Technique time and time again to save Konoha ninjas.

That fleeting golden ray in mid-air became a lifeline for many.

Kyosuke was also trying to escape, but he was quick-witted. When he saw Nagato condense the black sphere, he knew what was going to happen next, so he escaped in time. In addition, his physical skills were good, so he was not too badly dressed when he fled. He even had the leisure to turn his head and look in Danzo's direction.

It would be great if Danzo were killed.

Unfortunately, Danzo, protected by his subordinates, ran just as fast as Kyosuke.

Kyosuke also noticed that Minato Namikaze was constantly using the Flying Thunder God Technique to save people, and he frowned.

"Teacher, don't be impulsive! Planetary Devastation is no joke. What if you use up too much chakra and get killed by accident? What will I do then!"

Given Minato Namikaze's strength and intelligence, the chances of him dying are very small.

However, Kushina has just died, and with such a huge change, if Minato acts rashly and is not in good condition, then anything could happen.

Even if there is only a one percent chance of him dying, I will try my best to reduce that probability to zero.

With these thoughts in mind, Kyosuke immediately created more than four hundred shadow clones, which rushed towards the core area of ​​Planetary Devastation to assist Minato Namikaze in rescuing the others.

"We'll do whatever it takes. At worst, we'll have a headache for a few days. We must ensure the teacher's safety."

Kyosuke swore that this time he really did it for Minato Namikaze, not for show. However, the appearance of the shadow clone still earned Kyosuke a lot of gratitude and goodwill.

He cares so much about his comrades; no wonder he's the Hokage's disciple!

In fact, most of the shadow clones are useless, as they are pulled into the air by the powerful suction force before they can be used.

Only a small number of shadow clones helped the thirteen Konoha ninja escape danger.

Minato Namikaze has already rescued more than sixty people.

Seeing Kyosuke's actions, a glimmer of warmth appeared in Minato's sorrowful heart.

"Kushina, Kyosuke's current performance is all thanks to your guidance."

A shadow clone glanced around and shouted at Minato Namikaze, "Sensei, there's no one around. You should leave now!"

Then, the shadow clone was sucked into the air.

Minato Namikaze stepped onto a flying rock, glanced at the giant sphere composed of numerous rocks in the sky, and sighed softly.

Despite the valiant rescue efforts, more than twenty people were still sealed inside the sphere.

Given the terrifying suction force near the sphere, these people would probably have been smashed into a bloody mess by the rocks.

Filled with self-reproach, Minato Namikaze vanished from his spot in an instant, arriving at a safe location some distance away.

Upon seeing Minato Namikaze, Kyosuke immediately rushed over.

After a fierce battle and saving so many people with his Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato Namikaze was extremely exhausted, and his muscles trembled slightly as he breathed.

Kyosuke, on the other hand, suffered a great loss of mental strength due to the destruction of many of his shadow clones by Chibaku Tensei and the excessive number of death memories he received in a short period of time.

Kyosuke's face was deathly pale, with bulging veins near his temples. He rubbed his head hard with his right hand, trying to relieve the throbbing pain in his brain.

A moment later, many Konoha ninja gathered around Minato Namikaze. They looked up at the huge, moon-like sphere floating in the sky, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

There was helplessness, fear, bitterness, and even more so, bewilderment.

Is this power truly possessed by humans?

Fortunately, they were all experienced ninjas, so they were not mentally broken.

Homura Mitokado broke the silence first: "Hokage-sama, the enemy has escaped in the chaos. Should we continue the pursuit?"

Minato Namikaze sensed the dwindling chakra within him, then glanced around and noticed that most people looked somewhat apprehensive, while only a few were filled with indignation. Knowing that everyone's morale was low and they were not suited to continue fighting, he slowly shook his head.

"We're very close to the border. If we continue chasing, we might encounter an enemy ambush. It would be better to rest for now, wait for the main force to arrive, and then launch an attack."

Hearing the Hokage's order, everyone felt much more at ease.

Kyosuke nodded to himself. His teacher's words were brilliant. He was clearly afraid that his side would be unable to win, but he said he was afraid of falling into an enemy ambush, thus avoiding damaging his own morale.

You can't exactly tell these Konoha ninjas that most of them are cowardly cowards.

Mitokado was also very pleased that Minato Namikaze had not been blinded by hatred and had made the right decision.

"Hiruzen, your choice was indeed correct."

Danzo snorted inwardly, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

In Danzo's mind, this was the time to pursue them relentlessly, even if all of them died. As long as he could seize the Rinnegan, it would all be worth it.

Only Fugaku seemed somewhat distracted.

Having witnessed the terrifying power of the Rinnegan, many of his thoughts changed, and he began to contemplate the future of the Uchiha clan.

"It seems we should take this opportunity to establish secret contact with Tie Huo as soon as possible."
