章節 468: How Strong Was Kushina Right Now?

Whoosh!

Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima were both shocked at this moment. They could not believe their ears, especially Sage Fukasaku.

Compared to Sage Shima.

Sage Fukasaku has never watched Kushina's practice at all.

However.

Before he could react.

The Great Toad Sage spoke again.

"Fukasaku."

"You have to work harder during this period of time."

"Don't let Minato lose too badly."

Swish!

Sage Fukasaku suddenly came out of his memories. There was still a deep shock in his eyes. Except for when Minato and Kushina first came, he never saw her again. He was even more confused about this unknown thing.

Sage Fukasaku didn't think too much about it.

As for how the rest of the things would develop, it would depend on Minato and Kushina.

Crash!

After Minato got up, the water flowed down from the waterfall behind him. His orange eyeshadow also disappeared at this time, and he directly exited the Sage Mode.

"How strong is Kushina now?"

Minato was puzzled. He really couldn't imagine it. He knew Kushina quite well. If she was compared to a ninja of the same age, her strength could be considered good, but the gap between her and him was still quite big. He knew that the Sage Mode was very powerful, but he had already reached this stage. Could Kushina be even more powerful?

This point.

He couldn't figure it out.

...

Iwagakure.

Onoki was lying in Iwagakure's hospital. The wounds on his body had been treated and didn't cause much damage, but it could be said that everyone was still in shock.

A little bit more!

Just a little bit more!

If it was just a little bit more...

The kunai would directly pierce Onoki's heart.

This result filled the hearts of Iwagakure ninjas with anger, and they wanted to fight Konohagakure right now.

"Tsuchikage-sama, please allow us to go to the battlefield, break through Konohagakure, and take revenge for you!"

The first to speak was Kitsuchi. Not only did Kitsuchi have a high status in Iwagakure, but he was also Onoki's son. When he saw his father injured like this, the anger in his heart reached an uncontrollable level.

"Tsuchikage-sama, please allow us to go to the battlefield, break through Konohagakure, and take revenge for you!"

"..."

Following Kitsuchi's words, other Iwagakure ninjas took the initiative to volunteer. Now, they were all full of anger toward Konohagakure. They never thought that Konohagakure, which seems to be upright on the surface, would actually do such a thing.

"No."

Onoki said lightly. He was lying on the bed. Although the wound on his back had been bandaged, he still felt the pain. He couldn't get up casually. After all, the pain of the wound made him feel as if his whole body was affected.

Onoki couldn't help but sigh.

If it was when he was young.

This kind of injury was nothing!

However.

This was also because he did not want to be stubborn right now. After all, there was no need for this.

"Why?!"

Kitsuchi asked, a little puzzled. He vaguely felt that his father had some secret, but he did not want to know about these things. He just felt very sullen.

"Tsuchikage-sama!"

Kitsuchi directly called Onoki, Tsuchikage-sama, not father, which showed that he defined his identity as Iwagakure ninja, not his son.

"We just encountered Sunagakure's attack not long ago. At that time, I proposed to attack Sunagakure, but you rejected it!"

"Now that we have encountered Konohagakure's sneak attack, I ask again to attack Konohagakure, but you rejected it!"

"Are we going to make the whole world think that we, Iwagakure, are easy to bully?"

"Is it possible that everyone can come and bully us, and then we will not retaliate, just like soft persimmons, who can be easily pinched?"

Kitsuchi said emotionally. He knew that it was very inappropriate to speak to the Tsuchikage in such a tone. After all, the hierarchy in the ninja world was always strict. However, he understood that his doubts were not his alone. Many of the Iwagakure ninjas present had the same doubts.

"I said no, then it means no!"

Onoki's tone became fierce. He had been Tsuchikage for so many years, but this was the first time he made a decision. Someone stood up and asked him why he did this, especially when the person was his son.

Onoki's obviously unhappy voice sounded.

The voice in the hospital ward became quiet.

Including Kitsuchi.

No one said anything else.

Although everyone still had an unconvinced expression on their faces, they were honest. No one dared to provoke the Tsuchikage at this time. After all, it was obvious that Onoki was unhappy.

...

Iwagakure.

At the gate.

Just as everyone was looking at Onoki, a ninja from Iwagakure walked in the direction of the ninjas guarding the gate.

"Kitsuchi-sama!"

The Iwagakure ninjas guarding the gate saw the incoming ninjas and bowed one by one. The one who walked toward them was the face they were very familiar with, the son of the Third Tsuchikage, Kitsuchi.

Of course.

This Kitsuchi was not the real Kitsuchi.

The real Kitsuchi was in Onoki's ward and having a fierce conversation.

And the Kitsuchi here...

It was Aoba's advanced paper clone!

"Tsuchikage-sama was ambushed by a Konoha ninja and is now seriously injured. I need one of you to quickly go to the front line to inform Michiru-sama of this matter and inform all the ninjas on the front line. You can come back after that. As for the rest, Michiru-sama knows what to do!" Aoba used his identity as Kitsuchi to speak to the ninja guarding the gate.

"Yes!"

The ninja guarding the gate did not suspect him. After all, Kitsuchi was the son of the Third Tsuchikage. Now that the Tsuchikage was injured and hospitalized, Kitsuchi's order was to a certain extent the highest order they could receive.

After that.

The ninja quickly left.

Aoba silently nodded and left. After turning a corner, he disappeared.

The next moment.

Aoba appeared at the border between Konohagakure and Iwagakure.

It was just as he had expected.

Iwagakure ninja army had already pressed down on the border of the country of fire. The air was filled with dense smoke. This unavoidable battle was about to erupt.
