Naruto started to become stronger by becoming a disciple of Tsunade

The ape demon transformed into the Ruyi Jingu Bang, raised it high, and dropped it heavily.

bang bang bang!

It's like striking iron.

After a burst of fierce bombardment.

The Third Hokage retreated.

The ape demon that transformed into the golden hoop regained his monkey form.

"Sarutobi, that guy's body is really hard!!" Sarutobi said to the Third Hokage with a grin.

Obviously, the head-on collision just now was too much for the ape demon, whose body was as strong as King Kong.

It is worthy of being the Hidden Cloud Village, which is famous in the ninja world for its ninjutsu.

There is nothing wrong with this physical condition.

"Thank you for your hard work, Enma!" The Third Hokage thanked his old friend beside him.

"I'm fine!" The ape demon waved his hands.

"I'm fine, but the ninjas of Konoha may be in trouble!" Saruma said, pointing at the Konoha Root and Konoha Anbu who were fighting fiercely with Kumogakure and Iwagakure.

The Third Hokage took a quick glance and his heart sank.

Konoha Anbu is a little better.

The Anbu of Konoha are all Konoha's elite ninjas, and almost all of them are all-round players.

Moreover, most of the ninjas in Konoha's Anbu are outstanding ninjas from the major ninja clans of Konoha. They not only learn Konoha's ninjutsu, but also practice the unique secret techniques of their own clan.

But the roots of Konoha are different.

The establishment time of Konoha Root was originally shorter than that of Anbu.

Moreover, most of the Root Ninjas are civilian ninjas and war orphans.

Their usual funding is also different from that of regular troops like the Anbu, which are supported by the village and the Fire Nation.

Most of the Root's funding came from Danzo Shimura, who used his power to embezzle Konoha's funds.

Among the Root Ninjas, due to Danzo Shimura's pursuit of rapid success, a considerable number of them were only proficient in one type of Ninjutsu.

For example, the two assassinating ninjas at the beginning are the most typical examples.

The two Root Chunin ninjas teamed up, and the Jonins were easy targets to kill.

Although they had strong assassination abilities, the two Chuunin ninjas had almost no means of self-preservation and were basically a disposable suicide squad.

There are many ninjas like the Root Ninja who have serious imbalances in their specialties.

Therefore, the ordinary Root ninjas who stepped onto the battlefield were weaker than the Anbu in frontal combat, and to a certain extent weaker than the Iwagakure and Cloud ninjas of the same level.

Reminded by Enma, the Third Hokage also discovered the problem.

The number of Root Ninjas has been reduced significantly.

Even the Anbu suffered casualties to varying degrees.

The Anbu said they were Konoha's elite ninjas, but one person faced four or five enemies, and sometimes one Anbu even faced more than ten Kumogakure or Iwagakure.

"Hokage, give up. It is impossible to stop us with only the Anbu ninjas in your hands!!" The jungler in mid-air dodged Hanzo's attack again and persuaded the Third Hokage.

As the Tsuchikage, Ohnoki could not tell the difference between the Root ninjas and the Anbu ninjas.

In his opinion, any Konoha ninja wearing a mask should be an Anbu ninja.

The Third Hokage glanced at Ōnoki.

Said: "I understand that we can't stop Iwagakure and Kumogakure with just these people!!"

As he said this, the Third Hokage glanced at the Konoha ninjas who were already at a disadvantage.

The Anbu ninjas present were fighting one-on-one against the majority.

Whoosh!

"Hokage, it's not a good thing to be distracted during a battle!!" came a rough voice.

The Third Raikage leaped high into the air.

"Thunder Escape, Angry Thunder Axe!!"

The Third Raikage Ai raised his right leg high and chopped down heavily at the Third Hokage with great force.

Saruma, who was standing next to the Third Hokage, saw the Third Raikage striking down with tremendous force, and suddenly soared into the sky.

"Wanluo King Kong!!" The ape demon roared.

It transformed into a huge black shield, blocking the Third Raikage's path.

boom!

boom! !

There was a loud bang.

The huge black shield transformed by the ape demon flew backwards at a faster speed than the one that soared into the sky just now.

The ape demon's body stopped transforming in mid-air.

Transformed back into a giant ape.

"What a strong guy!!" Enma looked at the Third Raikage Ai who was still kicking towards the Third Hokage without slowing down.

With a hint of fear in his eyes, at the last moment when his body was about to hit the tree, he cancelled the spiritualism and sent himself back.

As he got closer and closer to the Third Hokage, the Third Raikage looked at the Third Hokage who still did not move.

"Are you trying to use the same old tricks again?" The Third Raikage said sarcastically, looking at the Third Hokage who seemed to be frightened.

He used his energy to lock onto the Third Hokage who was standing in place.

At this critical moment.

The wind pressure generated by the Third Raikage's downward strike caused the two streamers behind the Third Hokage to float up and down continuously.

At this critical moment.

A strangely shaped kunai passed by the Third Hokage.

boom! !

The earth trembled.

Dust was flying everywhere.

The Third Raikage stood in place, his eyes fixed on one location.

It seemed as if his eyes could see the people behind the smoke and dust.

In the previous moment, the Third Raikage only felt a golden figure flash past his legs.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

A figure with short golden hair appeared next to the Third Hokage.

"Hokage-sama, are you okay?!" Namikaze Minato said to the Third Hokage with concern.

Seeing that Minato Namikaze was concerned about him, the Third Hokage waved his hands repeatedly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Minato!" The Third Hokage said to Minato Namikaze with a gentle smile.

"It's okay!" Minato Namimachi narrowed his eyes into a beautiful crescent shape and revealed a gentle smile.

Then Minato turned his gaze to the Third Raikage Ai, whose body was covered with blue chakra.

"Is this the Third Raikage Ai?" Namikaze Minato looked with a heavy expression at the Third Raikage who had almost turned into a light blue figure.

"Minato, be careful of your opponent's speed!" The Third Hokage looked at Minato Namikaze's back and told him what to pay attention to when fighting against the Raikage.

"I understand!!" Minato Namikaze had fought with the Fourth Generation Ai and Killer Bee many times.

Therefore, Minato Namikaze had a certain understanding of the speed of the ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village.

And it’s different from the last time when Minato Namikaze and the Fourth Generation Ai and Killer Bee were both just enough.

Now Namikaze Minato is extremely curious to know which one of his Flying Thunder God Technique is faster.

The Third Raikage Ai's ninjutsu is still faster.

"Another one?" The Third Raikage Ai stood where the Third Hokage had just stood.

Completely ignoring the smoke and dust in the sky.

“Third Raikage, don’t be careless!!” the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki reminded the Third Raikage who was not taking it seriously.
