"Swish, swish, swish!"
The falling speed of the Iron Sand Rain was extremely fast, and it was simply beyond the ability of Senju Nawaki and the few Konoha ninjas who were now in their extreme condition to defend against it.
"Ninja Art: Wild Lion's Mane Technique!"
At this moment, Jiraiya appeared outside the range covered by the Iron Sand Shower, with hand seals formed in his hands and his white hair growing rapidly.
At the moment before the iron sand rain fell on the heads of Nawaki and the others, the long white hair surrounded them and formed a defense.
"Ding ding ding!"
The attack came down, as if hitting steel, making a continuous crisp sound.
At the same time as Jiraiya took action, Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Yoruki rushed out almost at the same time, and suddenly, the two appeared next to Kakuzu.
"Uchiha Style: Blast Flame Dance!"
"Thunder Moon Slash!"
The two men attacked him at the same time, and in a flash, sword shadows enveloped Kakuzu's figure.
"Earth Release: Multiple Earth-Style Wall!"
Kakuzu suddenly leaned down, and several walls of earth rose up around his body, protecting him in the center.
"Boom boom boom!"
Immediately, explosions continued to sound.
Elsewhere, at the moment when Sasori launched the Iron Sand Shower, Minato stabbed Sasori's back of the head with his special kunai without hesitation.
"Universal Pull!"
Almost at the same time, a powerful gravitational force suddenly burst out from the palm of the black-robed man.
Minato's figure was forcibly pulled over. Seeing this, he was not panicked, but immediately turned around and threw the special kunai in his hand in the direction of the black-robed man!
"Using my gravity against me?"
Looking at the special kunai shining with lightning that was almost in front of him in the blink of an eye, the man in black robe pondered inwardly.
The special kunai that Minato injected with lightning chakra was already incredibly fast.
In addition, he used gravity to increase its speed again.
"Clang!"
However, just before the kunai was about to pierce the man in black robe, a repulsive force exploded with him as the center.
The kunai was bounced away by the repulsive force.
"Now!"
Minato had been waiting for this opportunity. The moment the kunai was bounced away by the repulsive force, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
"Rasengan!"
He suddenly appeared in front of the man in black robe, and a blue chakra ball condensed in his palm.
"During this gap, you won't be able to use your abilities!"
Minato thought to himself, even if the masked man's space-time ninjutsu was fast enough, it would be impossible for him to completely dissolve his attack in such a short time.
Even though he was using the Rasengan in his right hand, Minato had already begun preparing for the second attack in his left palm.
Just before Minato's Rasengan hit the man in black robe, a light blue chakra light suddenly burst out from the masked man next to him.
"Boom!"
When the attack came, Minato was stunned. He saw the chakra emitted from the masked man turned into a defensive shape like a human skeleton on his body.
An arm grew out from the light blue skeleton, and it was the palm of that arm that blocked Minato's Rasengan.
"This is..."
Minato was stunned, but he launched the second attack without hesitation.
"Odama Rasengan!"
The attack landed on the light blue palm, causing cracks to begin to spread on it.
However, it did not collapse immediately. The patterns in the masked man's eyes condensed, and a more intense chakra glow spread from his body.
"Click."
At this moment, the real sound of bones growing was heard, and the palm that was cracked by Minato's Rasengan healed in the blink of an eye, and the light extended, forming a semi-human skeleton several meters tall.
When the skeleton was formed, it raised its palm and slapped at Minato hard.
"Whoosh!"
However, the speed of this palm alone was certainly not enough to hit Minato, so the masked man also used his ability to distort space.
Swish!
However, in the twisted space, just before the hand fell, Minato's figure disappeared again.
"Boom!"
At this time, a huge black staff also hit the skeleton heavily. The force made it tremble slightly, but that was all.
The old face of the Third Hokage trembled, and he looked at the half-human skeleton that was protecting the two masked men in front of him, and exclaimed: "Susanoo!?"
The masked man glanced sideways slightly, and the skeleton stretched out its other hand, but Hiruzen had already stepped back and avoided the attack.
The falling of the iron sand rain finally stopped. Jiraiya moved his hand seals, and then his hair contracted. They wrapped around the waists of Senju Nawaki and the Konoha ninjas, pulling them out of the range of the iron sand.
Sasori's iron sand was also highly poisonous. If you got scratched while walking through it in this kind of weather, it would be a bit troublesome.
"Nawaki, you guys go first, leave this place to us," Jiraiya said after rescuing several people.
There was an obvious look of reluctance on Nawaki's face, but he knew that his presence here would only add to the burden for Minato and the others.
So he nodded heavily, and then left the battlefield with the help of two Konoha ninjas.
Jiraiya glanced sideways at this time, and of course the first thing he noticed was the semi-human skeleton that suddenly appeared, several meters tall.
His white brows also frowned.
"Shhh!"
But at this moment, under the siege of Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Yoruki, the several earth barriers that protected Kakuzu were destroyed one after another.
Kakuzu, who was like a turtle in a jar at this time, knew that if he continued like this, things would be very bad.
Swish!
He suddenly jumped up, waiting for an opportunity to escape.
However, Uchiha Yoruki outside the wall had already been prepared. With the insight of his Mangekyō Sharingan, he locked onto Kakuzu's position almost instantly, and then blood flowed out from the corner of his left eye.
"Puff!"
In almost the blink of an eye, the Rekka No Ken appeared in front of Kakuzu who was in mid-air, and then a red light flashed suddenly.
The sword immediately pierced through Kakuzu's left chest and pierced his heart.
"It's done!"
Seeing this, Uchiha Yoruki and Hatake Sakumo both showed joy on their faces.
They didn't know how Kakuzu had achieved immortality and survived to this day, but as long as he was still a living being, he would surely die if he suffered such an injury!
Uchiha Yoruki immediately retracted his Dojutsu, and then Kakuzu suddenly fell from mid-air and landed on the ground.
"Has it been done?"
Jiraiya and Minato, who had temporarily retreated, both saw Kakuzu being pierced through the heart, and were thinking the same thing in their hearts.
However, this man had extraordinary abilities after all, so out of caution, Uchiha Yoruki and Hatake Sakumo still approached him to confirm whether he was dead.
Just as the two approached Kakuzu, Minato's expression suddenly changed and he shouted:
"Don't get close, he's not dead yet!"
