"Boom!"
A powerful repulsive force suddenly erupted, centered on the man in black robe. The entire cave collapsed in an instant.
Swish!
At Minato's warning, Uchiha Yoruki, Hatake Sakumo and the others suddenly fell backwards. Minato, holding Kushina in his arms, disappeared from the spot.
Even people as strong as Jiraiya and the others were still affected by the repulsive force when the cave collapsed, and their bodies were flung away uncontrollably.
"Boom!"
An area of more than ten meters in radius was razed to the ground with a loud bang. When the smoke dissipated, the ground beneath the black-robed man's feet had turned into yellow sandy land.
The only person who was still unharmed beside him was the masked man.
Rustle!
In three directions, the soles of Uchiha Yoruki, Hatake Sakumo and Jiraiya's feet left long marks on the ground as they finally dissipated the sudden and powerful repulsive force.
The three of them looked at the black-robed man in the yellow sand with shock in their eyes.
"Everyone, are you okay?"
At this moment, Minato appeared in the surrounding forest holding Kushina. She hugged Minato's neck quite tightly, her body shaking because she was fighting against the Nine-Tails.
"Mm." "Fine." "Fine."
Sakumo and the others responded to Minato, who frowned with concern. He looked at the black-robed man next to the masked man with flickering eyes.
Minato was considered a master in the ninja world, but he never knew that there was someone who possessed such an ability.
"What kind of technique is this?"
This person seemed to be able to manipulate gravity and repulsion, and the power of his technique varied greatly depending on the level of chakra accumulated.
"How cautious."
At this time, the masked man's gaze was also directed towards Minato.
After Minato teleported away, he did not immediately repair Kushina's seal, but immediately joined forces with Hatake Sakumo and the others. Because even he was not sure he could save Kushina if the two enemies joined forces.
This was also their last chance to capture the Nine-Tails today. He had locked onto Minato when he was flying away with Kushina. But this was no longer possible.
"For now, I'll just say you won this round."
The masked man glanced at the five people around him, including Minato, Kushina, Sakumo, and laughed sneeringly.
"What did you say!?"
Uchiha Yoruki's face froze, and the flame mangekyo patterns in his right eye were slowly rotating.
"Amaterasu?"
The masked man glanced sideways, chuckled and murmured. Both of them could see that Uchiha Yoruki was accumulating chakra in his right eye.
Uchiha Yoruki knew that physical attacks would be ineffective against him, so he targeted the person next to him. However, due to the distance, he was unable to send out Amaterasu directly. So next, he would likely use the teleportation technique to evade it.
"Have you seen through my Dojutsu?"
Uchiha Yoruki was shocked. Judging from the masked man's reaction, he obviously knew what he would do next. This was his Mangekyō ability. Only he knew the real information. The mysterious masked man with the Sharingan, he actually knew about it?
"I advise you not to waste your energy."
The masked man looked at the four people in front of him, laughed, and said: "The real battle has just begun."
"As for the battlefield, it is in the Konoha Ninja Village!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the masked man placed his hand on the shoulder of the black-robed man beside him, and then the vortex-shaped space twisted and rolled him in.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yoruki and the others all trembled in surprise and rushed towards the masked man.
"Swish!"
At this moment, the space in front of the masked man's eyes seemed to begin to distort. The two forces superimposed, and the speed of absorption skyrocketed.
Just before the three men's attack landed on him, the masked man disappeared completely.
"Damn it!"
Hatake Sakumo growled indignantly, and at this moment, Minato also landed beside them.
"Damn it, these two took advantage of the fact that you can't leave Kushina for the time being. Otherwise, with your speed, it wouldn't be so easy for them to leave!" Uchiha Yoruki said angrily.
Minato nodded, forming seals with his hands, and said, "The seal on Kushina has been shattered. If it is not repaired quickly, we will have to seal it again, which will only take more time."
Hatake Sakumo on the side agreed deeply. He was one of the participants when Mito sealed the Nine-Tails in Kushina's body. Resealing the Nine-Tails was not an easy task, not to mention that Kushina was extremely weak now.
The seal was completed, and Minato pressed his palm on the already blurred seal on Kushina's abdomen, and a powerful sealing force suddenly burst out.
"Damn human, damn the Fourth Hokage!"
At this time, even Uchiha Yoruki and the others could hear the hatred-filled voice of the Nine-Tailed Fox.
The seal formed again on Kushina's abdomen, but the newly formed seal was slightly different from the seal that Mito had originally placed.
"I have combined two Four Symbols Seals. Everything should be fine now." After the seal was completed, Minato gave Kushina a gentle smile.
"You've worked really hard today."
At this time, Kushina, whose face was as pale as paper, also showed a faint smile.
But in just a moment, her expression became extremely serious, and she said, "Hurry back to the village and stop those two people."
While fighting against the Nine-Tails, Kushina also heard what the masked man said. He mastered space-time ninjutsu that was even more advanced than Minato's, and he might have already arrived in Konoha by now.
Judging from the strength those two just displayed, they were definitely a huge threat to Konoha, whose defenses now seemed weak.
"Ah."
Minato responded. In his guess, there might be more than just the two people attacking Konoha this time.
However, no matter what, they had to calm down the Nine-Tails in Kushina's body first. This was their limitation.
These two people had grasped their weak spot from the very beginning. Otherwise, with just the four of them, they would not be so passive.
"You three, I will take you back to the village first, and then I will take Kushina to a safe place."
Minato appeared behind Jiraiya and the others and placed his palms on their backs.
Swish, swish, swish!
Suddenly, the three of them disappeared from the spot.
After sending them back to the village, Minato picked up Kushina.
At this moment, she saw something in the depths of Minato's eyes. Although the emotion was suppressed, Kushina still observed it.
It was a look she had never seen before.
But she could understand why Minato was like this. Because since he was a child, Minato had regarded this village and everyone in it as his home and family.
Those who attempted to harm his family must never be forgiven!
Swish!
Then, Minato and Kushina also disappeared.
