Chapter 157 The End of the Fourth Generation
Hearing this, Minato Namikaze immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
After concentrating on the scene, Minato Namikaze saw a figure hiding in the forest. This person was wearing an Anbu uniform and an animal mask, and looked exactly like an ordinary Anbu.
What made Minato Namikaze most afraid was that he could not sense this person's chakra.
This can prove two things. One is that this person's chakra is similar to that of ordinary people, so he deliberately ignored it. The second is that this person's ability to hide chakra aura exceeds his perception ability.
And the figure in front of him is obviously the latter, a ninja whose strength is hard to tell.
After a few careful glances, Minato Namikaze frowned. He suddenly remembered the scene of transferring the tailed beast jade half an hour ago. The other party seemed to appear on the rooftop of the Hokage Building, but he ignored it.
Feeling the disappearing chakra in his body, Minato Namikaze wanted to stand up and fight, but found that he could no longer do it.
The other party appeared beside him and Kushina in an instant, and hugged Naruto, who was still in the cradle. While comforting Naruto, he said:
"It's really a cute child. He should take his mother's surname and be called Uzumaki Naruto."
The ninja who hugged Naruto was none other than Bai Ye.
After seeing Minato Namikaze perform the technique of sealing all the dead spirits, he knew that he could not delay any longer, so he appeared in front of Minato Namikaze and Kushina.
Minato Namikaze stared at Bai Ye and asked coldly: "Who are you, and what is your relationship with the masked man before?"
Bai Ye glanced at Minato Namikaze and said lightly:
"Why should I tell you? But the masked man in your mouth is a fool. I clearly told him that the Flying Thunder God Technique is very tricky, but he still lost to you."
Hearing this, Minato Namikaze felt like falling into an ice cave.
The other party was actually in the same group with the masked man. What exactly did they experience, and why did they both target Konoha?
However, at this point, he had no ability to stop the other party.
At this time, Bai Ye silently picked up the death mask on the ground and came to Kushina.
Due to excessive blood loss, Kushina had fainted at this moment. Bai Ye first sewed up the wound, then took out a blood bag and fed it to Kushina.
Seeing this scene, Namikaze Minato was stunned and asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
Bai Ye glanced at Namikaze Minato, and then said: "Of course I am saving people. Can't the fourth generation Hokage even bandage the wound?"
Namikaze Minato frowned and said: "Why do you want to save Kushina?"
Bai Ye stopped his hand in the air and said indifferently: "If you don't want to, I can stop now. Anyway, you Konoha has already accepted the reward, and I don't care."
"Reward?"
Namikaze Minato was puzzled, and then remembered that Bai Ye had appeared on the rooftop of the Hokage Building, and suddenly understood something.
"You didn't take the opportunity to break into the Hokage building and steal something?"
Bai Ye nodded gently: "I took something, but I think it was a deal. The life of the Hokage's wife should be more useful than a bunch of broken scrolls."
Namikaze Minato didn't know what to say, but he couldn't let the other party give up rescuing Kushina.
However, after the Jinchūriki lost the tailed beast, the probability of survival was extremely low. Does the other party really have the ability to save Kushina?
Bai Ye saw through Minato Namikaze's thoughts and said lightly:
"The reason why the Jinchūriki died after leaving the tailed beast was because he lost a lot of vitality and soul in an instant, but as long as he replenished his vitality in time, he could delay the time of death."
"And I just happened to master this ability, and I just happened to accept someone's commission to come and rescue the unpromising members of the Uzumaki clan."
"Someone's commission? Unpromising members?"
Minato Namikaze found the blind spot and asked Bai Ye: "Who commissioned you to come here? Is it from the Hidden Rain Village or the Akatsuki organization? Is his name Bai Ye?"
Seeing that Minato Namikaze had too many questions, Bai Ye said impatiently: "A dying person should not ask too many questions, and should just stay in the belly of the god of death."
"You..."
Minato Namikaze wanted to say something.
But Bai Ye had already reached into Minato Namikaze's body, stripped Minato's soul out, and stuffed it directly into the mask of the god of death.
This mask of the god of death, which he had carefully crafted, was slightly different from the original version of the mask of the god of death.
The function of the Death Mask is to communicate with the Death God when performing the Shikigami Seal, and seal both the enemy and the friend into the body of the Death God with the help of the caster's chakra and soul.
Bai Ye knew this, and happened to obtain some of the abilities of the Samsara Eye.
As long as the technique of communicating with the Death God is changed to the technique of communicating with the Hell Yama, the sealing location of the half Nine-Tails and the soul of Minato Namikaze can be changed to his own body.
However, this change is not without cost.
In order to seal the half Nine-Tails on behalf of the Death God, he just consumed a lot of chakra and almost couldn't hold it.
If Minato Namikaze sealed the entire Nine-Tails, this technique might fail directly.
However, judging from the results, he still got the biggest benefit.
Not only did he get half of the Nine-Tails, but he also got the soul of the Fourth Hokage. In the future, he can easily reincarnate the Fourth Hokage, and let the Akatsuki organization have another strong man who masters time and space ninjutsu.
Retracting his gradually scattered thoughts, Bai Ye's eyes fell on Kushina and Naruto.
Naruto has now become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and is also the reincarnation of Ashura. If Naruto is taken back to be cultivated at this moment, his potential will be greater than that of Kabuto Yakushi and others.
But after thinking about it, Bai Ye gave up this unrealistic idea.
Although he showed an unfathomable look in front of Minato Namikaze, he still felt a little guilty when he really had to fight against the Fourth Generation and his wife.
If Naruto was really taken away, the drama of the Five Great Ninja Villages against the Akatsuki Organization might be staged in advance. He didn't want to be an enemy of the entire Ninja World and live a life of uncertainty.
However, the unconscious Kushina and the bodies of the Fourth Generation Hokage can be taken away, and they are still useful.
Thinking of this, Bai Ye made a seal with both hands to separate a wooden clone, and carried the two people together with the wooden clone, rushing towards the depths of the underground.
...
Not long after Bai Ye left, the Third Generation Hokage came late with a large number of Anbu.
Looking at the traces of the battle around him, the Third Hokage suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and then he saw Naruto sleeping in the cradle in the center of the battlefield.
At this time, the head of the Anbu beside him asked: "Why did the Third Hokage, the Fourth Hokage and the Nine-Tails suddenly disappear?"
The Third Hokage looked at Naruto in the cradle, sensed the surging Nine-Tails chakra in Naruto's body, and the faint chakra aura around him, and had a guess in his heart.
After a light sigh, the Third Hokage said: "Minato and Kushina should have died. Before they died, they sealed the Nine-Tails into their children."
