Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Land of Iron.

Amidst the icy snow, Kanpū stood in mid-air, unleashing a torrent of green Chakra lasers from his hands, turning the massive gray wooden giant into a vibrant green!

Within the green light, Onoki extended a dazzling white arc from his hands, slicing upward through the 'green wooden giant'!

Meanwhile, Yondaime Raikage walked around behind 'green wooden giant' in the sky full of green light, leaping high into the sky to attack Tathagata from behind.

"The thing I regret most is to let you participate in Tenseigan's experiment, Gekko Kanpū!!!"

The voice of Tathagata came from the wooden giant's neck, "But it ends here… Wood Release: Nativity of a World of Trees!"

Tathagata slapped the wooden giant's shoulder with both palms, and the majestic Chakra suddenly poured into the ground along the wooden giant's body.

Boom, boom, boom…

In an instant, the ground cracked open, and countless gnarled gray roots burst forth, spreading wildly in all directions. Simultaneously, dense branches sprouted rapidly from the roots, transforming into towering trees. In just a few seconds, a lush forest emerged with the 'green wooden giant' at its center!

Under the sea of ​​trees, Minato's face finally showed dark yellow, prominent eye shadows.

"Just in time."

Minato opened his eyes and saw the mass of branches and leaves twisting towards him like serpents.

"Heh."

With a light chuckle, an invisible ripple spread from Minato's feet, and his figure instantly vanished.

In the next moment, Minato appeared beside Kakashi, who was lying into the ground.

"Minato-sensei…"

When Kakashi saw Minato's current appearance, he was somewhat surprised, 'Is this the Sage Mode of Mount Myoboku?'

"I'll get you out of here first!" Minato grabbed him and disappeared instantly.

At this time, Yondaime Raikage, in his lightning form, dodged the sweeping branches and finally reached above the wooden giant's head.

"Guillotine Drop!!" Yondaime Raikage roared and kicked towards Tathagata and Obito lying next to him.

"How dare an ant like you bare its fangs at me?"

Tathagata sneered, ready to counter, but Yondaime Raikage suddenly roared again, "Onoki!!!"

"I see it!"

Onoki chuckled and his hands crossed, changing the direction of the dazzling white arc towards Tathagata and Yondaime Raikage.

Seeing this, Tathagata's pupils shrank, 'They were trying to pinch attack me from above and below?'

'Interesting!'

Tathagata kicked the unconscious Obito off the 'green wooded giant's' shoulder. Before he could make another move, Yondaime Raikage was already within striking distance. 𝐑ÁNο₿Èȿ

Boom!!

With a violent impact, Yondaime Raikage's kick shattered Tathagata's head cleanly.

"Huh?"

Yondaime Raikage frowned at this moment, 'The sensation of the head exploding was wrong!'

Sure enough, he turned his head to look and saw that Tathagata's 'torso' had already turned into wood.

'Wood Clone?'

As anger and shock surged in Yondaime Raikage's heart, Ōnoki's Dust Release finally reached, narrowly missing Yondaime Raikage.

"Onoki, you bastard! Are you trying to kill me?!!!" Yondaime Raikage was furious. Just now, not only his scalp tingled, but even goosebumps rose all over his body!

"Is that guy dead?" Onoki put away his technique, folding his hands behind his back with an air of sage-like grace.

"Are you talking about me?" Tathagata's voice came from the sea of ​​trees.

Onoki looked down to see a massive wooden dragon suddenly emerging from the forest, roaring as it charged towards him.

'What?!'

Onoki quickly moved sideways, narrowly avoiding the wooden dragon.

'Close call!'

Onoki moved 100 meters to the side and turned back to look around, only to find that the real target of the wooden dragon was Kanpū.

"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"

Without wasting any time, Kanpū retracted the green light and condensed two Truth-Seeking Balls into a black blade. The green Chakra gushed out, immediately bursting into a blinding golden sword light that expanded to form a forty-meter-long golden lightsaber.

Clang!

Kanpū chopped off the wooden dragon's head with a single slash.

"Roar!"

With the green chakra lasers no longer suppressing it, the wooden giant regained its full vitality, roaring as it swung its palm towards Kanpū.

Kanpū clenched his left hand, summoning two more Truth-Seeking Balls, transforming them into another black sword. As his Chakra poured into it, another forty-meter-long golden lightsaber materialized.

Boom!@@novelbin@@

With a sweeping motion, Kanpū decapitated the wooden giant.

But within the sea of ​​trees, an endless stream of Chakra transformed into a boundless life force, flooding into the wooden giant and wooden dragon. In less than a second, the heads of wooden giant and wooden dragon grew regrew, then they roared as they charged at Kanpū once more.

At the same time, Minato, who had sent Kakashi out of the sea of ​​trees, once again entered the sea of ​​trees, transforming into a yellow flash as he swiftly navigated through the forest.

The branches all around danced wildly, but they couldn't touch Minato's clothes at all.

'Senju Tathagata must be within this sea of trees. If I'm not mistaken, he should be with Obito.'

Minato pondered as he ran, sensing his surroundings. Soon, he detected a familiar Flying Thunder God Technique's imprint.

'Found it!'

The invisible air wave rippled, and Minato's figure disappeared instantly.

In the next moment, Minato appeared next to Obito.

And there, standing half a meter away with his back to him, was Tathagata.

Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!

Minato grabbed Obito with one hand, and formed a millstone-sized Rasenshuriken with the other, slamming it at Tathagata.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz…

The rapidly spinning Rasenshuriken created a bizarre tremor in the air, like a shovel scraping against a clay pot, producing an ear-piercing sound.

Tathagata turned his head fiercely, and the eyes beneath his vine mask showed a cunning expression of 'I have expected everything'.

"I have been waiting for you, Yellow Flash!"

Hearing this, Minato immediately had a bad feeling, and then he felt a tightening around his ankles. Glancing down, he saw two branches entangling his ankles, followed by a powerful suction force surging from the branches, crazily sucking his Chakra.

In just half a second, Minato found that he couldn't maintain Sage Mode anymore, let alone sustain the Rasenshuriken in his hand!

'What a pity…' Minato regretfully glanced at Tathagata, which was close at hand.

Then…

Whoosh!

A burst of air erupted, and Minato and Obito's figures suddenly vanished, leaving only two intertwined branches behind.

'As expected, Wood Release can't stop the Flying Thunder God Technique…' Tathagata's eyes flickered.

…

Outside the sea of trees.

Kakashi half-laying on the ground, and his expression is complex as he gazed at the surging sea of trees.

Especially when he saw Kanpū wielding two forty-meter-long golden lightsabers, slashing left and right, while he himself could only lie on the ground. At this moment, a strong sense of helplessness surged in his heart!

Whoosh!

In the next moment, Minato appeared with Obito in hand, collapsing to the ground in a disheveled state.

"Minato-sensei?" Kakashi exclaimed in shock.

"I'm fine." Minato said while getting up with some difficulty. After escaping from Tathagata just now, he teleported continuously along the Flying Thunder God's Kunai that he had previously dropped, exhausting the last bit of his Chakra!

'As expected of Wood Release Ninjutsu at the same level as Shodaime Hokage…' When Minato sighed inwardly, suddenly, a strange suction force spread from the void, instantly enveloping him.

'What?'

Minato's face immediately changed, 'Did Senju Tathagata follow us?'

'Wait, this suction force...

'It's from Mount Myoboku?'

"Kakashi, take care of Obito." Minato only had time to leave these words before disappearing abruptly in front of Kakashi.

"Minato-sensei?"

Kakashi was stunned. He was already in this condition, and now Obito was left to him… 'Minato-sensei, you really trust me too much!'
