In fact, Jiraiya's assumption was not wrong.
In Natagumo Mountain, the mountain forests are already devastated.
"Minato, still not well?"
At that moment, Hiruzen looked at Minato anxiously.
"No... In the demon lair, I can't seem to be able to use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu."
At the same time, Minato looks equally anxious.
Looking at the kunai engraved with the Flying Thunder God Jutsu in his hand, his words were a little dignified.
Not long ago, when Danzo discovered that the village had been invaded and news arrived.
Naturally, Hiruzen and Minato also learned about the matter in the village through the art.
Then Hiruzen also decisively allowed Minato to return to Konoha through the Flying Thunder God Jutsu.
But when Minato tried to use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to return to the village, he discovered that his jutsu somehow didn't seem to work.
No matter how he conducts Flying Thunder God Jutsu and his chakra, he is completely unable to transfer space in this area.
"Since that's the case... we should quickly get rid of the remaining demons and return to the village."
After hearing Minato confirm that he could not use Flying Thunder God Jutsu once again, Hiruzen was extremely anxious, but he had no choice but to say this.
"Yes!"
Minato naturally nodded.
Then, the two of them immediately led the remaining Konoha ninja and ran towards the side where the battle could still be heard.
On the way ahead, they could also see the situation on Natagumo Mountain at the moment.
I saw between the mountains and the forests right now, and traces of the battle can be seen everywhere on the tree trunks.
The corpses of many Konoha ninja were mixed in with the corpses already hanging from the web, which seemed extremely infiltrative.
"Damn, what a terrible breed."
Looking at the corpses of the Konoha ninja, Hiruzen's eyes flashed in pain and his words were even more serious.
Minato nodded slightly as well.
Not long ago, when the chaotic battle began, the battlefield was roughly divided into two parts.
The first part is the battlefield where the three demon hunters and the strongest demon meet.
They faced each other directly at the beginning of the battle and went deep into the forest until the end.
As for the second part, it is the battle between the other five demons and the Konoha ninja.
But it was also on this battlefield that Hiruzen and Minato witnessed with their own eyes the perversion of this race.
Five spider demons, each with the power of Elite Jōnin under the advantage of the Natagumo mountain.
Of course, Elite Jōnin is nothing to the two of them.
As Kage-level powers, they can easily suppress several Elite Jōnin.
But the demons allow them to experience the advantages of the race for themselves.
Although they were indeed suppressed in terms of strength, the different blood demon techniques of the five demons and their bodies, which were many times stronger than the ninjas, still taught the ninjas a lesson.
Kunai cannot pierce the skin of demons at all, and most Earth or Water styles have limited lethality for demons.
Even if the opponent is finally injured, the opponent can recover in an instant.
Among all Ninjutsu, only Fire Style and Lightning Style Ninjutsu are more powerful for demons.
It can be said that most of the ninja who died in the battle were killed by the strange and inexplicable technique of blood demons and this kind of physical energy consumption.
Until the end, it was Hiruzen and Minato who participated in the battle many times.
In the end, when Zenitsu suddenly returned, they were able to successfully kill all five demons.
It is worth mentioning that Hiruzen and Minato kill demons by consuming a large amount of chakra and constantly turning the demons into ashes with their Fire jutsu.
And Zenitsu, he raised the solar sword and cut off the demon's head with his sword.
And it was until that moment that the ninja came to understand why Rengoku emphasised so much that "Only the katana can kill a demon".
To be honest, even Hiruzen couldn't help but want to ask Zenitsu, if the demon extermination squad had any business selling Japanese swords, and if they did, he would have to give anything to Konoha, he wanted his ninja to get their hands on one.
But obviously, he also knew that this was not the time to ask about such things.
"Zenitsu, is that Rengoku and the Twelve Demon Moons fighting?"
As he approached the battlefield, Hiruzen also said to Zenitsu, who was at his side.
"Well, with the help of Ye Lin and I, Rengoku had already suppressed that demon, so he asked me to come back to help you kill other demons."
Zenitsu nodded.
And hearing his words, Hiruzen also felt a little uncomfortable.
Obviously, there are only three people in the demon killing team, and they are also dealing with the strongest demon.
But in the end, they sent reinforcements to help Konoha deal with the enemy.
This situation undoubtedly made Hiruzen, who wanted to show Konoha's strength, feel a little embarrassed.
However, after all, Hiruzen has been famous for many years, and this small embarrassment was quickly forgotten at this point.
After a while, the battlefield was also approached by Rengoku and he and another demon.
I saw the edge of the battlefield at this time, the demon killing team member named Ye Lin was resting against a tree at that time.
There are obvious marks after the battle on his body, and his expression is quite "tired" at this moment.
Besides Ye Lin, who is obedient on the edge, Rengoku in the middle of the battlefield is fiercely fighting with the demon."
"Flame Breathing, First Stance: Sea of Fire."
I saw that at this moment, along with the movement of the solar sword in Rengoku's hand, the arc-shaped flames were also suddenly exhausted.
The exquisite sword skill and the scorching flame are perfectly intertwined, almost forming a net of fire that will not allow a flying insect to cover everything.
In the web of fire, the earth began to perspire and the fallen leaves on the ground turned to ashes in a moment.
"There is no trace of chakra... but the power is stronger than the forbidden Fire Style."
Looking at this scene, Hiruzen's expression was very solemn.
Although I have seen Ye open the outer cover of the demon lair with a knife before, after all it was through the method of 'perception and transmission'.
And now, after seeing Rengoku's stage with his own eyes, he can also confirm it.
Judging by his age, this young man is only about 20 years old and there is no doubt that he has the strength of the Kage level.
But the key is that the other party is only one of the "pillars", and there is a mysterious and unpredictable lord above the other party.
"Indeed... just like those guys, the Demon Extermination Squad is unfathomable."
Then Hiruzen also said to himself in his heart, but then he felt a little comfort in his heart.
At least compared to the soul society and the world government, the demon extermination squad is a comrade-in-arms on their side."
"Lord Hokage, I'm going to help him!"
And at that moment, seeing Rengoku, who still supports the constant counterattack under Rengoku's katana, Minato said the same.
He can also see that even though Rengoku has completely suppressed the demon, he is next to the rope.
But it will take some time to really win.
As for Minato, who is worried about the situation in the village right now, he naturally hopes to help the opponent finish the battle as soon as possible.
"We will go..."
And Hiruzen nodded, and when he was about to say something, his expression suddenly froze.
Because at this moment, I saw a sword energy resembling moonlight suddenly shot out from a forest not far away, towards Rengoku.
That strange sword energy seemed to contain some kind of sinister but terrifying power, and almost without exception the trees it passed through were cut down.
Faced with this blow, Rengoku could only give up the original suppression, raised his hand and waved the solar sword to block it, and then fell to the ground.
And the demon seized this opportunity and suddenly moved away from the rear.
At the same time, everyone present heard a voice.
"I have not been able to resolve the enemy for so long. It seems you are not worthy of the blood His Majesty gave you, Muzan."
The indifferent words seemed to contain no emotion.
Then, everyone also saw that, among the trees with rhythmic sword energy, two figures walked slowly in the shadows.
"There are six eyes on his face, and the one on the left in a kimono looks at the baby indifferently."
Minato's pupils shrank the moment he saw it.
Thanks to this "person", he knew.
Those six evil eyes, already that phantom sword, was the rare experience that had been completely repressed to the point of being unable to defend himself since his debut.
"Lord Hokage.
"He's the guy I mentioned to you... one of the six upper moons, Kokushibo.
