Chapter 78: The Last Counterattack!
'You actually want to seal me again, and you even want to seal me on that little brat! Damn it!'
Kyuubi roared crazily in his heart!
"Go to hell!"
At this moment, the space that had appeared due to the shrinking of his body had become an ambush.
Kyuubi fiercely waved his sharp claws forward!
Not good!
Minato and Kushina almost subconsciously pounced towards Naruto, wanting to protect him.
However, at this moment, an accident happened!
Minato, who wanted to protect Naruto, had a deep and long cut on his back by the sharp claws. However, Kyuubi's real target was not Naruto!
Instead, it aimed at the little devil that had made it feel endless humiliation. Even if it were sealed, it would immediately kill the little devil!
Looking at the sharp claws of Kyuubi that suddenly appeared in front of him, Aoba's mind went blank. However, the continuous battles over the past few months had caused his body to instinctively react.
A layer of hard horn material almost instantly enveloped his entire body. At the same time, he tried his best to dodge to the side, but it was still too late
Pfft!
Kyuubi's long fingertips directly pierced through his body, and half of Aoba's left waist abdomen was also cut!
But at the last moment, relying on this little bit of time he had won, Kushina finally succeeded in suppressing the raging Kyuubi once again!
If Kushina didn't do it in time, or if Aoba did not use [Hardening] to protect himself in time and tried his best to move his body, then the end for him right now was to be directly cut into two!
Aoba, who tightly hugged Kyuubi's sharp claws, opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Although he expected that after completing this mission, Kyuubi would hate him, he never thought that Kyuubi, who made the final counterattack, would actually choose between him and Naruto to kill him!
Obviously, Naruto was the biggest threat to it. As long as it killed Naruto, it could avoid being sealed again for a short period of time.
But Kyuubi still chose to kill him after a feint!
It could be seen how much hatred Kyuubi had for what he had done before!
Thinking of this, Aoba couldn't help but reveal an extremely weak smile.
Although he had avoided death on the spot, he had lost half of his life. It was hard to say whether he could survive or not.
However, he did not choose to give up. Instead, he immediately released [Hardening] and then fully activated [Poor Quality Self Healing Body]'s recovery effect. As long as he delayed Kyuubi until Minato successfully sealed Kyuubi, he would have a chance to survive.
"Hold on, you must hold on!"
"Eight Trigrams Seal! Seal!"
Aoba felt that his consciousness was starting to become dizzy, and he seemed to hear Minato's voice, as well as the other people's voices...
'Did it succeed?'
'He should be able to persevere until Konoha's rescue…'
If it were for really too late, he didn't know if he would have the chance to transmigrate again...
With such a funny idea in his mind, he finally stood in a pool of blood, closed his eyes, and his consciousness entered darkness….
…..
Kyuubi was successfully sealed, but the survivors of Konoha were not happy at all.
This was because the 'Kyuubi invasion' incident had brought too much pain to Konoha.
The two most prosperous streets were completely destroyed. Countless people died because of this. The other losses were even more tragic. Not only did the Kushina who was Jinchuriki die, but Konoha also lost their Yondaime, Namikaze Minato.
The impact of the death of a Kage-level was self-evident!
Moreover, it was unrealistic to hide such big news.
Almost at the same time, everyone learned that Konoha was seriously injured.
Moreover, after losing the original Jinchuriki and Yondaime, Kumogakure immediately became restless and began to continuously probe the borders of the Fire Country.
Although Konoha had already gained the upper hand in the third battle of Ninja World, the heavy losses this time could be said to have immediately wiped out all the advantages that Konoha had obtained in the previous war!
Fortunately, the Water Country was currently in a civil war and had no time for anything else.
In addition, the Earth Country and the Wind Country had already signed a peace agreement. Moreover, they had already been crippled and were in a state of recuperation. Facing such a great opportunity, they really couldn't mobilize enough troops to invade Konoha.
However, in the face of Kumogakure's initiative, Konoha maintained a calm restraint while speeding up the transfer of the village's forces to fight back.
Before the two sides could figure out the real situation of the other side, only a small-scale battle had occurred.
This was undoubtedly the best way for Konoha to vent their anger.
However, the sacrifice of Yondaime's purpose also meant that the village had to elect a new Hokage who could lead everyone!
Therefore, Danzo, who had been eyeing this position for a long time, became more and more active. He even publicly opposed Sarutobi Hiruzen to re-assume the position of Hokage in the meeting.
However, it was clear that he had done nothing during Kyuubi's invasion. He was only hiding behind the scenes and watching the show. He simply did not have the qualifications to do so!
After Sarutobi expressed that he was only a transitional and that he would abdicate after the election of the 5th Hokage, Danzo chose to use even more drastic means to assassinate his old friend on the way to see the famous name of the Fire Country!
Finally, with Kakashi's timely awakening, his conspiracy was ruined.
Murdering the Hokage was a serious crime that would be executed, but Sarutobi once again let Danzo go.
In the subsequent meeting, Danzo used the fear of the higher-ups towards Uchiha and used the excuse of 'Sharingan controlling Kyuubi' to persuade the higher-ups and even Sarutobi. The Uchiha clan that had destroyed the garrison directly rushed to the edge of the village.
At this point, the deep conflict that had accumulated completely erupted!
The Uchiha clan, who was forced to move to the new base, finally confirmed that Konoha's higher-ups did not trust them at all, or perhaps they had never trusted them!
Cold heart, grievance, anger... In the end, all these negative emotions turned into seeds that sprouted in their hearts.
Facing the questioning of the many clansmen, Fugaku seemed to be completely disappointed in Konoha.
In addition to the sacrifice of Minato and Kushina, among the higher-ups of Konoha, he did not even know who he could trust.
It was likely that even Obito, who had led the entire Kyuubi invasion incident, had not expected that not only had his actions failed to destroy Konoha completely, but he had also pushed his own clansmen into the abyss.
However, for the current Obito, even if he knew, he probably would not take it to heart and would even secretly add fuel to the fire. He did not even care about the life and death of his own Sensei and his wife, so how could he care about the insignificant clansmen?
If he could let the Uchiha clan rebel and put Konoha into internal strife, he might be very willing to see this scene.
