"Bang!"
The black-robed man and the masked man were sucked into the distorted space. As they disappeared, with a "bang," the transparent creatures that were tightly entangling Hiruzen and the others, as well as the golem itself, instantly dissipated.
Swish!
A moment after they disappeared, Minato's figure flashed near Hiruzen and the others.
In this battle, he had seen through the enemy's intentions from the very beginning, but precisely because of this, he was restricted everywhere.
Even the current Minato had no way to fully deal with this.
"Damn it, we let these guys get away so easily!"
Jiraiya cursed. If Minato hadn't made him stay in the village a few days ago, he couldn't imagine that someone would take advantage of the day when Kushina was giving birth to attack.
Moreover, they were all extremely powerful individuals with strong abilities.
The reason why they fought so defensively was largely due to their lack of knowledge about these mysterious people.
Minato and the others all nodded solemnly.
"But fortunately, there were no major casualties."
Minato said, his azure eyes sweeping across Konoha, which was in a state of war. Thanks to the existence of Tsunade, the number one medical ninja in the ninja world today.
Otherwise, in this battle, Konoha's civilians and ninjas would have suffered heavy casualties.
As soon as the words fell, Uchiha Yoruki in front of him trembled, and the originally flaming mangekyo patterns turned back into black pupils.
Suddenly, beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.
In Uchiha Yoruki's vision, the figures of Minato, the Third Hokage and others around him became extremely blurry.
"Why is the masked man's pupil power so strong?"
Uchiha Yoruki gritted his teeth. He couldn't understand why, although they both had the Mangekyō Sharingan, the man's pupil power was so much stronger than his.
Although he had consumed too much chakra and pupil power in this battle, in comparison, the masked man's consumption was at least several times more than his.
He reasoned that if his eyes were used at that frequency, he might not even be able to maintain the three-tomoe Sharingan.
Not only him, but Minato and Hiruzen were also a little surprised.
The strange thing about the masked man was not just his abnormal pupil power, but also how he survived the attack just launched, which had pierced his left chest but did not kill him.
"They almost destroyed Konoha, and we still don't know the true identities of two of them. This is the most troublesome thing."
Hatake Sakumo frowned. Although he almost killed Sasori of the Red Sand just now, there is no doubt that Sasori is now more powerful than his parents, Sunae and Saburo.
If he is not eliminated, he will still be a huge threat to Konoha.
Everyone nodded, and then Minato said, "But at least, we have to put that Kakuzu on the wanted list first."
This person is also a formidable opponent with special abilities. Although Minato does not believe that there is an immortal ability in this world, Kakuzu is at least extremely difficult to kill and has great strength, making him a huge threat.
Takigakure and Konoha both had wanted warrants for Kakuzu decades ago, but so many years have passed and no one would have thought that this ninja from the same period as the First Hokage would still be alive in the world in this form.
After he finished speaking, Minato turned his gaze to Hiruzen, and their eyes met. From Minato's eyes, Hiruzen saw some gloom and anger.
His expression also changed slightly, because in today's events, Danzo and his Root, as well as Orochimaru, one of the Three Sannin, had not shown up yet.
There has been intelligence showing that Danzo and Orochimaru have been very close recently.
However, these two people are core members of the village, and although they have a close relationship, they don't seem to have done anything against the rules, so even the Hokage cannot interfere.
But this time, when the village suffered a great disaster, the two of them seemed to have vanished.
Hiruzen knew that Minato was really angry.
"Jiraiya, go and cancel the danger alarm," Hiruzen took a deep breath, then glanced at Jiraiya and said.
Jiraiya nodded, and the Third Hokage looked at Minato and said, "Fourth Hokage, go check on the safety of Kushina and your son."
Hiruzen knew that this was the only way to alleviate Minato's anger now.
Minato took a deep breath and then nodded: "I'll leave for a while. Thank you for your hard work."
Swish!
As soon as the words fell, Minato disappeared from the spot.
"Woosh!"
More than ten kilometers away from Konoha, in a dense forest somewhere in the Land of Fire.
Suddenly, vortex-shaped ripples appeared in the space, and then two figures were released directly.
"Ahem!!"
When the two appeared, they both started breathing heavily.
They pulled down the hoods of their large black robes and revealed that they were both wearing masks.
The man in the black robe took off his mask, revealing his pale face that now looked bloodless.
In his purple pupils, there were circles of lines that looked like ripples.
"Get this thing off my body."
Nagato said, tearing off his black robe, and his body was now covered in a pure white shell.
The masked man nodded.
Immediately, the white shell unfolded like branches and finally shed from Nagato's body.
The white shell merged together again and became the shape of White Zetsu.
"Cough!"
Nagato immediately half-prostrated himself on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He used the full power of Shinra Tensei and summoned the Gedo Statue in succession, and even with his eye power and chakra, he could only maintain this consumption normally for a short period of time.
"Why is that guy still safe and sound after resisting my ultimate power?"
Nagato's face looked a little thin at this moment. This battle was the first defeat he had suffered since he mastered the power of these eyes.
He couldn't believe that there were such powerful people in this world.
The masked man next to him had his clothes pierced on his left chest, and the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"If my body hadn't been wrapped by White Zetsu, I wouldn't have had a chance to escape just now."
With his abilities, if his heart was pierced, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.
If that were the case, he would not have had the energy to complete the final move and escape successfully with Nagato.
White Zetsu's body concealed the chakra fluctuations of the two people, because neither he nor Nagato wanted the people of Konoha to sense and recognize them.
The masked man was still frightened and had no way of answering Nagato's question.
He thought he knew everything about Minato Namikaze, but it turned out that he was a little too confident.
In front of Konoha's Yellow Flash, never claim victory lightly—because victory or defeat may be reversed at the moment you think you have won!
