The highly concentrated Tailed Beast Ball, transformed into a beam of purple light, blasted towards the direction where Konoha's army was gathered.
At this moment, the people in Konoha looked at the incoming Tailed Beast Ball with faces full of panic.
Once this Tailed Beast Ball landed, who knew how many people would die?
"Damn Orochimaru!"
Danzo's face was red with anger, and he slammed his cane on the ground forcefully.
"Barrier Squad!!" Hiruzen Sarutobi roared towards the front.
Tens of Ninja in front of Konoha were seen holding scrolls and pressing them on the ground simultaneously.
The next moment, dense patterns appeared in the air, and then disappeared.
What reappeared before everyone was a semi-transparent barrier.
The Tailed Beast Ball came crashing down at an extremely fast speed, and a layer of sweat appeared on the faces of everyone on Konoha's side.
In the next instant, the Tailed Beast Ball had hit the barrier, but there was no explosion as expected.
The Tailed Beast Ball seemed to be caught in the barrier, and then was swallowed little by little by the barrier.
As the Tailed Beast Ball disappeared, a huge explosion occurred in a place far away from Konoha.
Yūto, sitting on top of the Three-Tails, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this scene:
"This feeling is... the Flying Thunder God Technique?"
Yūto, who had fought with Minato Namikaze inside Naruto's body, clearly felt that this barrier was somewhat similar to the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Yūto turned his head to look at Ranmaru next to him: "Notify Ao, tell him to get ready to welcome guests."
A joyful expression appeared on Ranmaru's face, and he jumped off Isobu's back with a sprint.
Yūto turned his head back again, reached out his finger and tapped Isobu's head, saying in a calm tone:
"Continue, I want to see how long their barrier can last."
Hearing Yūto's voice, Isobu quickly raised its head again and began firing Tailed Beast Balls towards Konoha.
Facing the attack of the Tailed Beast Ball, Tsunade and Jiraiya were also being held back by the enemy.
The people of Konoha did not dare to rush out of the barrier and attack the Kirigakure.
In the current Ninja World, no one dared to directly withstand a Tailed Beast Ball attack.
The Akimichi Clan's Super Size Technique could only be used for close combat.
"In the state of opening the Sixth Gate, with my speed, I should be able to appear in front of the opponent's Three-Tails before it fires the Tailed Beast Ball."
Guy took a step forward, walked in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi, and spoke in a serious tone.
"No! Even if you rush over, you won't be able to deal with the Three-Tails. Now we can only rely on the sealing techniques of Jiraiya and Tsunade." Hiruzen Sarutobi directly refused.
Hiruzen Sarutobi highly recognized Guy's strength, but the Three-Tails was the most famous for its defense among the Tailed Beast.
Moreover, even if Guy could defeat the Three-Tails, what good would it do? If the Three-Tails wasn't completely sealed, all efforts would be in vain.
"Use the power of the Nine-Tailed." Danzo turned around and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"No!" Hiruzen Sarutobi refused again firmly, while glaring fiercely at Danzo.
"Pedantic!"
Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Danzo spoke angrily.
Just as Konoha's side was in a passive defense, two clouds of dust came from a distance towards Konoha.
The Hidden Stone Village troops and the Cloud Ninja Village troops looked at each other with some vigilance, while also moving towards Konoha at the same speed.
"That's... a Summoning Beast, there's the Three-Tails, it's the Kirigakure!"
Exclamations suddenly came from the two troops.
The figures of three giant Summoning Beasts, as well as the Three-Tails, came into the eyes of the Cloud Shinobi and Rock Shinobi.
"It seems the intelligence was not wrong, but the Kirigakure actually directly activated the Tailed Beast, clearly having made up their minds."
Kitsuchi looked at the Three-Tails in the distance that was firing Tailed Beast Balls, with a hint of astonishment on his face.
"What do we do now?"
Akatsuchi's voice came from the side, making a thoughtful look flash across Kitsuchi's face.
A similar scene also appeared in the Cloud Shinobi troops on the other side.
Darui saw the battle scene in the distance, and a conflicted expression also appeared on his face. Joining the battlefield at this time was not a good decision.
However, neither side was conflicted for long before they suddenly saw two figures blocking their path ahead.
Kitsuchi and Akatsuchi exchanged glances and made a gesture to the Rock Shinobi troops behind them.
Darui of the Cloud Ninja Village also made a similar gesture.
Before long, both troops stopped completely.
Blocking the path of the Cloud Ninja Village and Hidden Stone Village troops were Ao and Maki.
Ao had already removed his eye patch and activated his Byakugan to observe the two troops of Cloud Shinobi and Rock Shinobi in front of him. He saw a huge amount of Chakra hidden in each of the two troops.
Ao's expression tightened slightly. He had felt that familiar Chakra before on Bubble's body. Clearly, the other side had brought Jinchuriki.
Maki was originally a little confused as to why Ao of Kirigakure would suddenly bring him here.
But now, seeing the Cloud Shinobi and Rock Shinobi troops in front of him, Maki instantly understood what was happening.
Before long, a figure walked out from both the Cloud Shinobi and Rock Shinobi and came towards here.
Kitsuchi and Darui exchanged glances, and both turned their heads to look elsewhere. Cloud Shinobi and Rock Shinobi could be considered sworn enemies.
If it weren't for the advance orders from both sides' Kage, they would have likely already started fighting if they met on the road.
However, even so, both of them were still quite wary of each other.
Both Kitsuchi and Darui walked towards Ao and Maki with solemn expressions.
The four people stood in four different positions, sizing each other up.
There was no need for extra self-introductions, as the headbands they wore already represented the identity of their respective Ninja Village.
Moreover, the four people standing here were all famous Ninja in the Ninja World, and each Village's intelligence had basic information about the other.
The four people looked at each other in silence for a moment.
"I presume everyone knows why they are here."
Ao was the first to break the silence, speaking in a calm tone.
"So, what do you Kirigakure and Sand Ninja plan to do by blocking our path?"
Darui put his hands behind his head and glanced at Ao and Maki with a nonchalant expression.
"We Sand Ninja have joined forces with the Kirigakure."
Maki spoke calmly from the side. Among the four Villages, their Sand Ninja were the weakest in strength, but they still needed to show some backbone.
Moreover, revealing this information was also to prevent the Cloud Shinobi and Rock Shinobi from having thoughts of attacking after seeing their remaining Sand Ninja troops.
Ao glanced at Maki with the corner of his eye. He naturally knew what Maki was thinking.
However, at this moment, he would naturally not refute him.
