Chapter 335: Earth Shattering (1)

Xiaoqiu Mountain is a foreign hill. When Uchiha Madara and the first Hokage fought in the Valley of the End, the aftermath of the battle shattered a mountain, and Xiaoqiu Mountain was the largest of the fragments. In order to commemorate his brother's great achievements, the second Hokage ordered the establishment of a memorial hall on Xiaoqiu Mountain, facing the Hokage Rock in Konoha Village. However, due to lack of management and repair over the years, the memorial hall looks a bit old.

Because it is an alien hill and the mountain is not buried deep underground, the hill is bare and no vegetation can grow. The mountain is smooth and steep, with no other passages except a man-made stone staircase, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

"The Hidden Mist Village is in constant internal strife, and a large number of elites have been lost in vain. As a result, there is no elite guarding such a dangerous place. It is really laughable."

Sekubo looked at the twinkling lights below the mountain, and kept thinking about the next defense plan. There were thirty-six available men, one of whom was seriously injured and five were slightly injured. There were still about four hours before dawn, so it was reasonable to only hold out for four hours.

But what he didn't know was that the Hidden Mist Village had already listed Mount Kouqiu as the best target for capture, and the Mizukage even said in front of many subordinates, "Occupy the mountain first to destroy the village, and peace will come after occupying the mountain." Their purpose was to take the mountain and use the Tailed Beast Ball to destroy Konoha.

A battle of attack and defense that was recorded in the textbooks of the ninja school started without the knowledge of both sides. The green of Konoha and the gray of Kirigakure appeared back and forth on the hilltop memorial hall. Corpses were everywhere, and blood even gathered into a stream...

Afterwards, Seto Hori's body was found in a gap. He was squeezed here by the enemy's water ninjutsu and died due to excessive blood loss and severe injuries. The ninja in charge of cleaning the battlefield found a pocket watch tightly grasped in his hand. According to Seto Nao's crying confession, this watch was a 45th birthday gift from his brother to his father.

......

Minato Namikaze had never been as anxious and self-blaming as he was tonight. He wandered outside the delivery room, looking at his wife through the window, and occasionally pressed the communicator to learn about the war situation outside the village.

Tsunade walked out of the delivery room, holding on to the wall. Minato came forward and helped her sit down on the chair, then poured her a cup of tea.

"Phew~ The birth went smoothly. You will be able to see your baby soon."

Minato frowned, not happy about becoming a father soon, his whole body was full of energy and ready to strike, he knew that now was the best opportunity for the enemy to seize the Nine-Tails.

"Attention, all teams. Be extremely vigilant. Kill any suspicious individuals if you find them!"

After saying that, Minato patted the ninja tool bag behind him and walked quickly into the delivery room. At this time, the baby had already been born, and the medical staff were cutting the umbilical cord. Minato looked around the room vigilantly, and after a while he came to Kushina, wiped the sweat off her face and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

Kushina's face was pale, and she covered her stomach with one hand. The black seal was looming, and a vast chakra like the abyss was ready to move.

"Next, I will re-strengthen the seal of the Nine-Tails, and you take the child out."

"Yes!"

The medical staff carried the baby out of the delivery room. Princess Tsunade saw that the blood on the baby had been wiped clean, and she came forward to tease him with a smile.

Minato's face was solemn, time was running out and he had no time to be affectionate with his wife. He put his hands in front of his chest and quickly formed seals. He was about to perform the Eight Trigrams Seal, and after the seal was completed, he would add a Five Elements Seal to completely cut off the Nine-Tailed Fox's idea of ​​coming out for some fresh air.

But at this moment, Tsunade's angry shouts and the baby's crying were heard outside the delivery room, which made Minato, who was already uneasy, look gloomy. Kushina, who was eager to protect her son, raised her head to see what was going on.

"Don't move Kushina, the priority is to seal the Kyuubi!"

"Naruto..."

"Seal it first!"

Minato placed his hand on Kushina's belly, obscure and complex runes gushed out, and a sealing sorcerer was formed.

The advantage of the Eight Trigrams Seal is that there is a key that can adjust the seal strength at any time to help the Jinchūriki practice. After the seal is completed, a toad is summoned by Minato, ready to swallow the seal key.

"Don't move, otherwise I can't guarantee the safety of the child."

A sinister voice sounded behind Minato. He turned around and, as expected, saw his child being held in the enemy's arms, with a sharp kunai at the baby's neck.

Outside the delivery room, several medical staff were lying on the ground, and Tsunade was so frightened by the splattering blood that her limbs went limp and her whole body was trembling.

Minato put his left hand behind his back and raised his right hand: "Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. If you want a child, throw the sealing key over here."

Kushina's eyes turned red with anger, and she almost fainted: "Minato can't give it to him! The battle situation outside is not optimistic now, and the Nine-Tails must not fall into the hands of the enemy."

"Oh? I didn't expect the Uzumaki clan to be so loyal to the village. Have you forgotten how Konoha left you to die?"

"Also, Deputy Hokage Minato, please raise both of your hands, or I'm worried about my life."

Minato narrowed his eyes, knowing that the secret of his ability to seal with one hand had been leaked: "How about we throw out what we want at the same time?"

The man in black nodded, lifted the baby up, and the two threw the things out almost at the same time.

"It's now!"

Minato's eyes widened and he disappeared from the spot, ignoring space and time and teleporting to the baby and the key, grabbing them with both hands without any hesitation.

The feel of the thing must be right, but before Minato could smile, a slight puffing sound reached his ears. It was the sound of a detonating tag!

Minato was filled with hatred, but there was nothing he could do. He could only look at Kushina affectionately and use the Flying Thunder God Technique to take the child and the baby away.

"boom!"

In the Konoha Hokage's office, Minato suddenly appeared, and then, in front of Ye Shan's surprised eyes, he tore off the baby's swaddling clothes and threw them out, directly blowing up the office...

Fortunately, all the important documents in the office had been moved in advance, so not much damage was caused, except that Ye Shan's favorite tea set was smashed.

Minato was breathing heavily, with a cut on his face from broken porcelain pieces, and blood covering half of his face, making him look extremely miserable.

Ye Shan took a deep breath and said calmly: "There are not many people who can make you so busy. Where is Kushina?"

"Kushina has most likely been taken away by the enemy. The Bagua Sealing Technique has been completed, but it is not a foolproof plan. I have a vague feeling that the enemy has a way to break the Bagua Seal."

"Who is the enemy? Pain?" Ye Shan asked, then denied himself: "According to the ninja report, Pain suffered heavy losses after the fierce battle with Utatane Koharu, and the time is not right. It will take them at least another hour to get to Konoha."

"It was a man dressed in black with a mask on his face. His chakra felt very strange to me."

Minato found a slightly cleaner place to put Naruto down, took out a clean handkerchief to wipe the blood off his face, and was extremely angry: "Please take care of Naruto, I will go back and tear the enemy into pieces!"

Ye Shan shook his head to stop Minato, his eyes flashed coldly: "Now it seems that the enemy's goal is to seize control of the Nine-Tails and use the power of the Nine-Tails to destroy the village."

"Now that the enemy has revealed all their cards, it would be too boring for me, the Hokage, to continue to stay in the office and watch the fun. When will I go out and stretch my muscles?"

Minato hesitated for a moment, but still advised: "The current situation is not completely clear, it is better for you to stay in the center."

"No need to persuade me anymore. Let's start with the man in black robe."

Seeing this, Minato stopped talking, walked to Ye Shan, put his hands behind his back, and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to instantly return to the delivery room.

As soon as the two of them appeared, they realized that someone was attacking them. It turned out that two Anbu ninjas drew their swords and slashed at them. Seeing that the person coming was the Hokage, the Anbu ninjas hurriedly knelt down and saluted. The leader was Hyuga Hiashi, who had stayed here to guard the place.

The enemy sneaked into the top-secret delivery room silently and abducted the village's only Jinchūriki, Kushina. The guard leader Hyuga Hiashi is to blame.

Minato's heart sank when he saw the empty bed but he was not panicked, he closed his eyes and carefully felt the mark left on Kushina's body, but he was horrified to find that the mark had been erased and his face was covered with frost.

"The mark of the Flying Thunder God has been cleared, and the enemy is also a ninja who has mastered the secret technique of space."

Ye Shan frowned. There was no other space secret technique in the ninja world except Konoha, and the Flying Thunder God Technique was sealed in the Book of Seales by him himself, so there was no possibility of it being stolen.

"This is a tough one. If the enemy really has mastered the secret art of space, then it is not surprising that we failed to protect the area this time."

Hinata Hiashi's face flashed with shame, and he reported in a deep voice: "The enemy's space ninjutsu is very strange. Our attacks seemed to have missed, and they were able to absorb the targets they touched. That's how Lady Kushina was taken away."

Ye Shan looked at Hiashi. The information he provided was crucial: "You rush to the front-line command center immediately and let Deputy Hokage Fugaku organize the forces to annihilate the enemy. Leave the rest to me."

After sending away the fearful Anbu ninja, Ye Shan said to Minato: "Don't panic, Kushina has been injected with tracking potion in advance. As long as she is nearby, we will definitely find her."

As he spoke, Ye Shan pulled out an electronic screen from his arms, with a red dot flashing on it: "The person is actually on the Hokage Rock. If it weren't for the new tracker developed by the Ninjutsu Research Institute, we would have been tricked by them!"
