CHAPTER 432: CHAPTER 532 THE NIGHT OF THE NINE-TAILS (PART 5)

Chapter 532 The Night of the Nine-Tails (Part 5)

At the same time.

In the territory of the Land of Hot Water, the negotiations between Konohagakure and Kumogakure were still making no progress.

Kaito, a bystander, was yawning in boredom. Hoshigaki Kisame, who was standing behind him, wanted to remind him, but due to the occasion and his status, he chose to pretend not to see and remained silent.

However, at this moment, Kaito, whose attention was not on the armistice negotiations, moved his ears slightly and subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the Konohagakure camp.

Although the others were not as leisurely as Kaito to care about the surrounding situation, many people’s perception ability was originally better than Kaito.

The negotiations on the field stopped immediately, and everyone looked in the direction of Kaito’s sight.

In that direction, Nara Shikaku, who was usually very stable and calm, was speeding towards this side with an ugly face.

Namikaze Minato saw this and his expression changed slightly.

He naturally knew why Nara Shikaku did not participate in the armistice negotiations today.

So when Nara Shikaku showed up, Namikaze Minato didn’t care about what other people thought, and appeared next to Nara Shikaku in an instant.

"Is there something wrong in the village?"

Hearing Namikaze Minato’s anxious tone, Nara Shikaku’s expression froze.

But he still whispered in a dry voice.

"The village sent an urgent report that someone attacked the village. The Nine-Tails escaped and is wreaking havoc in the village. Please return to support immediately."

As soon as the voice fell, Nara Shikaku suddenly felt that the temperature around him seemed to drop by more than ten degrees.

Looking up, the Fourth Hokage, who was always gentle and sunny on weekdays, was now filled with cold and murderous intent.

Nara Shikaku naturally knew why this was. As a staff officer of Konohagakure Hokage, he knew very well that the departure of the tailed beast was basically equivalent to death for the Jinchūriki.

Just before Nara Shikaku could say the comforting words he had prepared on the way here, and advised Namikaze Minato to stay calm.

"Shua~" sound.

Flying Thunder God was used.

Namikaze Minato’s figure had disappeared in front of Nara Shikaku.

Nara Shikaku looked back subconsciously, but there was no sign of Namikaze Minato’s figure.

However, he also knew that Namikaze Minato did not use Flying Thunder God to return to Konohagakure directly.

Given the distance between the Land of Hot Water and Konohagakure, even if Minato left multiple Flying Thunder God coordinates on the way here, he would inevitably consume most of his chakra after returning to Konohagakure.

’Fortunately, we were prepared in advance, and he still has the reverse summoning Jutsu! ’

Just as Nara Shikaku was thinking this, the other people who participated in the peace talks saw the Hokage suddenly disappear and quickly came to his side.

Kaito was the first to ask.

"Nara-san, Hokage-sama suddenly left the scene, what’s this?"

Nara Shikaku turned around when he heard the voice and saw Kaito’s gentle face.

However, he did not answer Kaito’s question immediately. After his eyes passed over his face, he looked at the Fourth Raikage Ai, who also rushed over with a serious expression and said nothing.

Then he slowly spoke, with a hint of sincere gratitude in his tone.

"Thank you for your concern, Mizukage-sama. I just received information that an unknown person has launched an attack on Konohagakure, and Hokage-sama has already rushed back to provide support."

’Really? Minato has already rushed back?’

Upon hearing this, Kaito looked at the direction of Konohagakure slightly, and said to Hoshigaki Kisame behind him as if no one was around.

"Kisame, wait for me at the Konohagakure camp. I’ll go to Konohagakure Village to see if I can help."

The people around looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard what Kaito said.

This place is far from the Konohagakure Village.

Even if a senior ninja who is good at taijutsu runs at full speed, it will take one or two days to arrive. The so-called attack must have been over by the time the Mizukage reached to help, so he can only go to watch Konohagakure’s joke, right?

Nara Shikaku obviously had the same idea.

But before he could say anything to dissuade him.

Kaito suddenly opened a pair of turquoise transparent wings behind him.

As the huge wings fluttered violently, the surging air waves instantly blew all the people around him away half a step.

And Kaito himself shot into the air like a sharp arrow.

The people below just came back to their senses from the smoke and dust, and saw Kaito, who was slightly suspended in the air, and the pair of turquoise wings behind him suddenly doubled in size again.

As the wings flapped rapidly, the invisible air waves actually blasted circles of ring-shaped ripples in the air.

In the blink of an eye, Kaito’s figure disappeared, leaving only a series of slowly dissipating tiny afterimages in the sky.

Nara Shikaku stupidly retracted his gaze from the sky, looking at Hoshigaki Kisame, who looked calm and seemed to have been accustomed to it. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

However, what everyone didn’t notice was that an inconspicuous figure following behind the Fourth Raikage Ai secretly blended his feet into the ground a few centimeters thick, using the Raikage’s body to cover him, and sent a message to the outside world.

’Direction 4, flying straight towards Konohagakure. ’

Just after this message was sent.

In the distant Land of Fire, in an inconspicuous forest, a pale white figure trembled slightly, with waves of light and shadows entwined on his body.

The next moment, the white figure opened his eyes again, and had turned into a cold-looking black-haired girl.

-----

In the sky, Kaito felt the air whistling past his ears.

Watching the scenery of the ground under his feet quickly retreat behind him.

His heart actually gave birth to an indescribable sense of joy.

To be honest, Kaito had never flown at full speed like this before.

For Kaito, when he was not in a hurry to travel, he would just run like a ninja on the ground. When he really needed to arrive quickly, he would often choose to transform into White Zetsu and travel through the land with the Mayfly Jutsu.

If he was not in a hurry to go to Konohagakure to watch the show today, and it was not convenient to perform the Mayfly Jutsu in front of so many people, Kaito might not have thought of flying to travel.

The wings vibrated again.

The "float" was fully activated. ( float = Levitate )

The speed that was already close to the limit increased again.

The water vapor in the air in front of him was squeezed into a cone-shaped white mist by the rapid impact. A huge roar exploded in the air, and circles of white ring-shaped airflow were left behind by Kaito in the blink of an eye.

"————Haha, cool!"

Kaito laughed wildly in the air, but the sound seemed to be left behind by him.

Only the muffled sound coming from his skull proved his wanton joy at this moment.

However, the next moment, Kaito, who was feeling the thrill of rapid flight in the air, heard a long-lost alarm from the "Anticipation" in his mind.

An extremely huge bright red transparent arm suddenly rose from the ground and blocked Kaito’s flight path without warning.
