The Nine-Tails Rebellion went away just as quickly as it came.
However, the damage caused was unbearable even by the Leaf Village.
The third generation was injured, Jiraiya was seriously injured, and the fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato was unconscious.
Although none of the Kyuubi's tailed beasts hit the Konoha village, the aftermath of the battle also caused the eastern wall of Konoha to crack, and even collapsed in several places, damaging many nearby residences.
Fortunately, although some villagers were injured, no one died.
It was only two days after the Nine-Tails Rebellion broke out in Konoha, and the news swept through the entire shinobi world like a tornado.
Every village knew that Konoha's Nine-Tails was out of control and had suffered heavy losses.
Early on the third day, Konoha's order reached the Daming Mansion in the City of Fire.
The daimyo immediately summoned Nobuhiko and Hatake Sakumo and conveyed the Third Hokage's order to them.
Because Jiraiya was seriously injured and Namikaze Minato was unconscious, the village now urgently called the two back to the village to prevent any accidents.
In response to this, although the Fire Country Daimyo was reluctant to give up, he did not retain the two of them.
Because if Konoha Village becomes unstable, it will also affect the Fire Country.
Not many people want to continue fighting for three more games.
Nobuhiko ordered Tsukuni Enichi to stay in the City of Fire, while he returned to Konoha with Hatake Sakumo.
The two of them rushed back to Konoha in one day under a rapid march.
At this time, Konoha's security was obviously much tighter than before.
The people walking on the road were in a hurry, and many of them had solemn expressions with fear.
The shadow cast by Kyuubi on everyone was too heavy.
The complete Nine-Tails, which is over 100 meters tall, can be clearly seen even from the farthest reaches of the village.
The sounds of battle can be sensed even if they are hundreds of miles apart.
The Fourth Hokage, whom the villagers relied on, fell into a coma after the battle, and Jiraiya was seriously injured.
The name Golden Flash is a shame and a frightening name for other villages, but for the people of Konoha, it is a kind of spiritual sustenance and a strong sense of security.
Even someone as strong as Namikaze Minato fell down.
Although the Third Hokage had blocked the news, the fact that none of the Namikaze Minato family showed up after the war already explained the problem.
Especially after the news spread, the Third Hokage no longer needed to hide anything from the villagers.
...
Nobuhiko and Hatake Sakumo came directly to the Hokage's office.
After Namikaze Minato fell, it was natural that the Third Hokage temporarily acted as the fourth generation's affairs.
"Third generation sir."
"Nobuhiko, Sakumo, you are back." Seeing the two returning, the Third Hokage's face relaxed.
"Sandaime-sama, Jiraiya and Minato..." Hatake Sakumo looked serious.
As the top combat force in the village, he is naturally qualified to know the most detailed situation, but he has already been mentally prepared, otherwise the third generation would not be so eager to call him and Nobuhiko back.
The Third Hokage nodded, "Jiraiya is seriously injured and needs a period of rest to recover, but Minato's condition is a bit worse. Tsunade is treating Minato. For details, please go to Konoha Hospital with me."
With that said, the Third Hokage stood up.
"yes."
Nobuhiko and Hatake Sakumo followed the Third Hokage out of the Hokage's office, and soon arrived at the highest ward of Konoha Hospital.
At this time, there were two jonin guarding the outside of the ward.
At the same time, Nobuhiko also sensed that there were four ANBU members secretly on guard.
However, considering the importance of Namikaze Minato to Konoha now, this degree is not an exaggeration.
"Sandaime-sama!"
When the two jounin saw the third generation, they immediately bowed and saluted, and then nodded to Nobuhiko and Hatake Sakumo behind the third generation.
"Is Tsunade's treatment for Minato over?" The Third Hokage did not enter the ward immediately.
"Yes, Tsunade-sama is currently treating Jiraiya-sama." One of the jounin explained.
"Let's go in and take a look first." The Third Hokage nodded slightly and walked into Namikaze Minato's ward.
When he walked into the ward, he saw two medical staff taking care of Minato Namikaze.
One person pays attention to the progress of the infusion, and the other person pays close attention to the data changes on the instrument.
Seeing the Third Hokage walking in with Nobuhiko and Hatake Sakumo, they immediately stood up and said:
"Sandaime-sama, Sakumo-sama, Nobuhiko-sama."
"You guys can go out first." The Third Hokage waved his hand.
Nobuhiko began to sense the state of Namikaze Minato.
Namikaze Minato's body functions were all normal, but the chakra fluctuations in his body were very weak, and there was no sign of waking up at all.
"Nobuhiko, your medical ninjutsu level is not weak. You should be able to see the changes in Minato, right?" The Third Hokage suddenly turned his head and looked at Nobuhiko.
Nobuhiko nodded and said: "Yes. The fourth generation is in good physical condition and there is nothing abnormal."
"This is the strangest thing, Minato's body is normal, but he just won't wake up.
According to Kushina, before she fell into coma, Minato used the Bagua seal and the corpse seal to seal..."
Sandai was halfway through his words when he suddenly paused.
Because of the changes in the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, he hoped that as few people would know as possible.
"Seal all the zombies?!" Nobuhiko looked shocked, "Is it the legendary forbidden technique of the Uzumaki clan that can seal the soul into the body of the Shinigami? So the Fourth Generation used this in order to seal the Nine-Tails. Forbidden technique?"
"According to what Kushina said, this is indeed the case." The Third Hokage said: "Originally, the body of a person who loses his soul will die quickly, but Minato's body is stronger than that of ordinary people. This is the strangest thing."
Nobuhiko looked thoughtful and said, "Is it possible that the God of Death did not completely collect the soul of the Fourth Generation, but left a part of it.
According to the records of the Hyuga clan, although the price for using this forbidden technique is to sacrifice one's soul to the God of Death, it does not say that all the souls are dedicated to the God of Death.
Maybe Yondaime-sama still has part of his soul left in his body. "
The third generation looked puzzled and said in surprise: "It's not impossible. Let's wait for Tsunade and Kushina to come over and see what they say."
With that said, Sandai said towards the door: "Yamada, go find Kushina."
"Yes!" The Jonin outside the door quickly left and went to summon Uzumaki Kushina.
"Actually, Kushina is the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki." The Third Hokage explained.
After the Nine-Tails Rebellion breaks out this time, as long as you catch some clues and think about it for a while, you can know who the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki is.
Hearing the Third Hokage's explanation, neither Nobuhiko nor Hatake Sakumo seemed particularly surprised.
"The masked man who attacked Konoha this time claimed to be Uchiha Madara." The third Hokage's next words made Nobuhiko and Hatake Sakumo change their expressions.
"Uchiha Madara?! How is this possible?"
"Isn't he from the same era as the First Hokage? He must have been dead for decades, right?"
Looking at the performance of Nobuhiko and Hatake Sakumo, the Third Hokage also said solemnly:
"It's hard for me to believe it, but the power the other party has is so powerful that it's unbelievable.
Jiraiya, Minato and I are no match for each other.
If the Chakra Sword hadn't fallen from the sky at the last moment and defeated Susanoo, the consequences would have been disastrous! "
"This..." Hatake Sakumo's heart trembled.
The Sandaime, Jiraiya, and Namikaze Minato, the three of them joined forces, and I am afraid that anyone in the ninja world would be able to hate him on the spot if they faced each other.
If the three of them are no match together, could they really be the legendary Uchiha Madara?
Only a man as famous as the Ninja God Senju Hashirama can have such strength, right?
Hatake Sakumo has naturally heard of Susanoo's name. It is the ultimate eye technique of the Uchiha clan.
During the Warring States Period, the Hatake clan formed an alliance with the Inorakacho clan and fought against the Uchiha clan together. Susanoo's power could be described as devastating, and there are records among various clans.
"Who is the person who can defeat the masked man?!" Hatake Sakumo pondered.
The Third Hokage shook his head, "I don't know, I don't know where these two people appeared from. It seems that the other one helped Konoha.
However, the presence of two extremely powerful ninjas in the ninja world is really disturbing. "
"Could the other person be the First-sama?!" Hatake Sakumo said suddenly.
"..." Nobuhiko's eyes flickered slightly, and he was stunned. He, as a teacher, has such a big brain.
"This... is unlikely." Although he denied it, the Third Hokage's tone was not firm, "Before the First Generation died, my teacher and I were all present. I watched the First Generation's burial with my own eyes. of.
It's just that... the dead Uchiha Madara can reappear, and it is not impossible for the first generation master to come back from the dead.
But if the Shodai-sama is resurrected, why doesn't he return to Konoha and only help us secretly? ! "
"I'm afraid that someone will steal the power of Uchiha Madara and the First Generation, and then use their reputation to cause chaos in the ninja world." Hatake Sakumo frowned.
"I will never allow this kind of thing!" A serious voice suddenly came from outside the door.
I saw Tsunade walking into the ward. She had just heard the conversation between the third generation and Hatake Sakumo, and she was extremely angry.
Sandai had already explained the situation that night to her, but she didn't think as far as Hatake Sakumo did.
"The first generation master is best at Wood Escape, but none of us have personally experienced the power of Wood Escape.
But judging from the fact that the first generation master was able to defeat Uchiha Madara and capture the Nine-Tails, the power of Wood Release is probably even more powerful than the complete Susanoo.
It's just that the attack that dropped from the sky that night didn't look like Mu Dun. "
The third generation analyzed, then looked at Tsunade, "No matter what the situation is that day, the first priority now is the situation of Minato and Jiraiya."
"Jiraiya's injury is not serious, but he had senjutsu chakra to protect his body at the time. He can recover after a few months of training. As for Minato's condition, this is the first time I've seen him!" Tsunade said.
"Sandaime-sama, Lord Kushina, bring it here." A Jonin named Tanaka came to the door.
Uzumaki Kushina walked into the ward with the support of Hinata Mio.
Hyuga Mio went out to practice with Tsunade. Now that Tsunade is back, she will obviously come back with her.
Just in time, her soul can be replenished.
This will also allow her to maximize her talents.
Through Nobuhiko's perception, Uzumaki Kushina's body was very weak, and her condition was much worse than Namikaze Minato lying on the hospital bed.
It seemed that the power of the Six Paths sent to her that night was not enough, and she was injured at all.
But for Nobuhiko, being able to save her is already a matter of affection.
Anyway, Uzumaki Kushina basically doesn't participate in battles. Her body is weak and she only needs to recuperate for a period of time.
"Kushina, I'm sorry for calling you here before your body has recovered." The Third Hokage said, "Because it concerns Minato, so..."
The Third Hokage explained Nobuhiko's conjecture to Kushina.
"This...actually I don't know." Uzumaki Kushina looked at Namikaze Minato with a sad expression: "I also learned from Mito-sama about the sealing of zombies, just to be safe in the past.
According to records, only those who use the corpse seal can see the God of Death.
The souls of ninjas who have used this forbidden technique will remain in the belly of the God of Death forever. "
"If Nobuhiko's guess is correct, then it makes sense." Tsunade pondered: "Minato's body is normal, but he has not woken up. It seems that he has lost part of his soul, or most of it. .
Now only a small part of the soul remains in the body, keeping the body alive but unable to resume action. "
"In this case, if we can develop a technique to remove the seal from the ghoul, we can release Minato-senpai's soul and revive him." Nobuhiko nodded.
"The method of lifting the seal of the corpse is indeed clearly recorded in the Uzumaki clan, which is to use Namendo's death mask. However, the country of Uzumaki has been destroyed, and whether Namendo still exists is still a question." Uzumaki Kushina looked at the lying body The husband in the hospital bed secretly made up his mind.
"I'll send someone to look for him immediately!" the Third Hokage said seriously.
Namikaze Minato is Konoha's top combat power, and his strength is considered the number one in Konoha. His existence is very important, and he must be recovered as soon as possible.
Uzumaki Kushina nodded and informed the specific location of Namendo.
Nobuhiko looked at Minato Namikaze, who was sleeping peacefully, with a calm expression. The Death Mask had disappeared. No matter how hard he looked, he probably wouldn't be able to find it, unless there was a second Death Mask.
After the third generation dispatched the ninjas, Tsunade and Kushina were left to accompany Namikaze Minato, while he took Nobuhiko and Hatake Sakumo back to the Hokage's office.
They were discussing future arrangements when a jounin hurried to the door and said, "Third generation sir! Urgent report from the northeastern border!"
The Third Hokage's eyes changed slightly and he said in a deep voice: "Come in!"
Nobuhiko and Hatake Sakumo exchanged glances, Kumogakure had really healed his scar and forgot about the pain.
The third generation took the scroll and looked at it, then handed the scroll to Nobuhiko and Hatake Sakumo.
Sure enough, a small force of Kumogakure appeared at the border.
He probably wanted to test Konoha's reaction.
"Sir Third Generation! Urgent report from the northwest border!"
After a while, another jounin arrived.
This time, it was not Iwagakure who took action, but Hanzo of Amegakure, the man who was made a demigod by the ninja world.
"Hanzo actually appeared in the Land of Grass! Could it be that he wants to invade our Konoha border!" The Third Hokage's face was extremely solemn.
