Facing the endless barrage of gold dust shurikens, Hiruzen spun his staff, slamming 'Enma' into the ground before forming hand seals and slamming his palms onto the ground, "Even if I'm old, I still have the strength to fight!"

Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!

Bang!

A half-ter-thick, several-ter-long wall of earth erupted from the ground, blocking all the incoming gold dust shurikens!

Without missing a beat, Hiruzen continued his assault with a combination of Earth and Fire Release: Earth Dragon Fla Flow!

But it didn't stop there!

The 'Professor', Hiruzen, following up the Earth Dragon Fla Flow with a combination of Water and Lightning Release: Lightning Water Dragon Bullet!

After the Lightning Water Dragon Bullet, Hiruzen summoned four shadow clones and together they unleashed the ultimate combined technique: Five Elents Grand Array!

Boom…

Amid the violent explosion sound, a small fla-shaped mushroom exploded from where Orochimaru had been standing, accompanied by lightning and heavy smoke, soaring into the sky.

After a series of combined Ninjutsu, Hiruzen held the Adamantine Staff tightly, watching the mushroom cloud cautiously.

Although the power of these combination Ninjutsu was imnse, Orochimaru has now possessed Wood Release, so how could he be taken down so easily?

At this ti, the explosion alard the nearby residents. Amidst the chaotic screams, Hiruzen hurriedly command them to take shelter.

At this mont…

"Hiruzen-sensei, your strength has dropped so much." Orochimaru's voice suddenly ca from behind Hiruzen.

"What?"

Hiruzen suddenly turned around, only to see a dark green fist shooting towards him.

Bang!!

Hiruzen managed to lift the Adamantine Staff just in ti, but the punch sent him flying.

"Magnet Release: Gold Dust Imperial Burial!" Orochimaru sneered and slamd his hands onto the ground. A surge of gold dust suddenly burst out from the ground, flooding towards the falling Hiruzen like a tidal wave. ŕÀ𐌽оВЁʂ

"To use gold dust as a coffin, only you are worthy of this honor, Hiruzen-sensei." Orochimaru laughed hoarsely.

Seeing the gold dust about to engulf him, Hiruzen shouted defiantly: "Don't underestimate , Orochimaru!"

Adjusting his body mid-air, Hiruzen pointed the Adamantine Staff at the ground and roared, "Enma, extend!"

"Understood!" Enma's voice echoed from the staff, and the Adamantine Staff suddenly extended, anchoring itself to the ground.

As the Adamantine Staff extended crazily, Hiruzen's body rapidly ascended, reaching an altitude of fifty ters in a blink of an eye.

Tilting the staff slightly, Hiruzen's entire body followed the staff towards a nearby building.

'To be able to evade the Gold Dust Imperial Burial in such a simple way, as expected of the Ninjutsu Professor…' Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and smirked, 'It's a pity, that's the extent of it.'

"Magnet Release: Gold Dust Wave!" Orochimaru waved his hand, and the gold dust buried along the street suddenly surged up, crashing towards Hiruzen like a massive wave.

Hiruzen retracted the Adamantine Staff, then turned around and ran.

The gold dust wave thundered forward, consuming and pulverizing all the shops and buildings in its path!

Fortunately, all the residents nearby had already evacuated to the shelter, otherwise, this wave would have killed hundreds of people!

Dodging left and right, Hiruzen realized the severity of the situation after a few minutes of watching the buildings around him being swallowed by the gold dust.

'This can't go on!'

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Hiruzen hurriedly stopped at the top of a building, turned to face the golden sand waves and Orochimaru, who is already on the top of the wave from who knows when.

"What would you do…" Orochimaru smiled.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Hiruzen spat out a ten-ter-wide fireball, then retreated while continue to form the hand seal, "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

"Fire Release: Great Fla Technique!"

"Earth Release: Earth Flow River!"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

"Lightning Release: Thunderbolt!"

Hiruzen madly unleashed Five-Attributes Ninjutsu toward Orochimaru atop the gold dust wave while retreating. He also threw thousands of Explosive Tags.

However, under the ferocity of the gold dust wave, all his Ninjutsu and Explosive Tags were swallowed whole. Although they created countless 'splashes', they failed to stop Orochimaru.

'Orochimaru's mastery of Magnet Release had surpassed Yondai Kazekage Rasa, and he hadn't even used Wood Release yet…' Hiruzen's heart trembled, 'With the Akatsuki invading the village, a major battle could break out at any mont. If Orochimaru used Wood Release, the consequences would be disastrous!'

'Orochimaru must be stopped before he could use Wood Release!'

'It seed I had no choice but to use that technique!'

At this ti, Orochimaru crossed his arms, watching Hiruzen's struggles with a mix of pleasure and sorrow, feeling extrely conflicted.

After making up his mind, Hiruzen calmly ford hand seals while continuing to retreat, 'Fuinjutsu: Dead Demon Consuming Seal!'

...

At the sa ti.

Mount Myoboku, one of the Three Great Holy Lands in the Shinobi World.

Minato's figure abruptly dropped from the sky.

"Fukasaku-sama." Minato said as he flipped and landed steadily, turning to face the green toad on a rock behind him.

"Minato-chan, I suddenly called you over because I have sothing important to tell you." Fukasaku said.

"What is it?" Minato asked curiously.

"It's about… the Child of the Prophecy." Fukasaku said solemnly.

"The Child of the Prophecy?" Minato rembers that his teacher, Jiraiya, has been looking for this Child of the Prophecy, who was supposed to bring peace to the Shinobi World, 'Could it be that he had finally appeared?'

"Maybe not anymore."

Fukasaku said sadly, "Recently, the Great Toad Sage's dreams have been chaotic. He dreams of all sorts of random things, and even the Child of Prophecy... sigh."

Minato was confused and said with a bitter smile, "Fukasaku-sama, please explain clearly."

He had been in the middle of fighting Tathagata when he was suddenly summoned here. It was awkward, to say the least.

"Then, I will make a long story short, Minato-chan, the Child of the Prophecy is in danger now, and you must save him." Fukasaku Sage said.

"Who is Child of the Prophecy? Where is he?" Minato asked curiously.

"He is…" Fukasaku said with a sowhat strange expression, "Your son!"

"Naruto?" Minato was stunned.

Although he had great expectations for Naruto, he never imagined that Naruto could bring peace to the entire Shinobi World.

'Wasn't it too exaggerated!'

'Wait!'

"Naruto is in danger?!" Minato was alard.

'Naruto is in Konoha, so how could he be in danger?'

'Out on a mission?'

'Impossible, his Jonin Instructor, Kanpū, was still in the Land of Iron with !'

"Yes, Konoha is under attack, so Naruto is in danger." Fukasaku said.

'Konoha is under attack…?' Minato's expression changed slightly, "Could it be Orochimaru again?"

"The Great Toad Sage didn't say it clearly. That's all I can tell you. Minato-chan, I'll leave it to you." Fukasaku said, canceling the Reverse Summoning Technique.

Bang!

In a puff of smoke, Minato's figure suddenly vanished from Mount Myoboku.

Land of Iron.

The semi-paralyzed Kakashi slowly adjusted his sitting posture, and watched Kanpū display his prowess over the distant sea of trees. His emotions were as mixed as a cup of 280-year-old vinegar, indescribable.

Bang!

Suddenly, a puff of smoke exploded beside him.

"Minato-sensei?" Kakashi's expression tensed.

"It's ."

Minato's voice ca from the light smoke, and then he ford hand seal to create a shadow clone and said, "Kakashi, the situation is urgent. My shadow clone will take you and Obito away first. Be careful."

"Minato-sensei, what happened?" Kakashi asked anxiously.

But Minato did not answer. His shadow clone directly grabbed Kakashi and Obito, then swiftly sped off into the distance.

Then, Minato charged into the sea of ​​trees.
