Naruto: Five Lives, Five Times the Excitement

Chapter 315 Minato Namikaze Arrives

"The battle over there is fierce. It's a pity that Nagato's perception is too terrifying, and I can't get close. It's been so long since I've seen him. I wonder how strong Nagato has become now."

On a distant mountaintop, Ooka Shin jumped onto a large tree, raised his binoculars, and looked towards the southwest valley. Through the lens, he vaguely saw a small bird with the Rinnegan and two small black dots on its back.

Kyosuke, fearing for his life, ordered Ooka Shin to stand by nearby just in case. If anything unexpected happened, Kyosuke would escape to this spot and have Ooka Shin hold off the enemy.

Around him, several shadow clones were busy setting traps in some corners.

Nagato, unaware that he was being spied on, used the Shadow Clone Technique.

Since taking control of Amegakure, the Akatsuki have collected many ninjutsu. In addition, Kazekage Sensuke shared ninjutsu with the Akatsuki to curry favor with them, and Nagato and others mastered many advanced ninjutsu, including the Shadow Clone Technique.

And so, Yahiko and Nagato flew toward Kushina, who was fleeing.

"Water Release: Iron Cannon Ball!"

Gamabunta spat out a giant water ball, intending to knock down the giant bird in the distance, but it was blocked by Nagato's shadow clone.

"Shinra Tensei!"

The repulsive force directly shattered the water sphere, causing it to break into countless droplets that fell and formed puddles on the ground.

At this moment, Kakashi's shadow clone had been eliminated. Kyosuke learned that Kakashi might die in battle and that Minato Namikaze was coming. He sighed slightly and then performed even more diligently, leading the three Gamabunta brothers to besiege Nagato's shadow clone.

Facing an attack from three sides, Nagato's shadow clones moved like ghosts through the sword light and water curtain. His Rinnegan was always locked onto every gap in the attack, while he used Shinra Tensei for defense, trying to buy as much time as possible and consuming very little chakra to counterattack.

"His ninjutsu must have a cooldown period. You guys create an opportunity for me!"

After a brief battle, Kyosuke pretended to realize that Shinra Tensei was insufficient and loudly reminded the three giant toads.

"Got it! Toad Oil Bomb!"

Gamabunta spat out a large glob of viscous toad oil, which had a wide attack range, causing Nagato's shadow clone to frown.

Even if he dodges the attack, the toad oil will splash onto the ground, creating a large greasy area that will restrict his movement.

After a moment's thought, Nagato's shadow clone used Shinra Tensei, sending all the toad oil bullets flying into the distance.

"Now!"

With his agile speed, Gamahiro leaped onto Nagato's head, casting a huge shadow over him, while simultaneously wielding his twin swords and slashing fiercely at Nagato.

Nagato leaped backward at incredible speed. Gamaken, who was prepared, raised his right arm and swung his giant harpoon to attack Nagato, but suddenly felt his right arm get entangled and he was unable to make the next move.

Hamaken turned his head and saw a huge chameleon slowly appearing, its tongue tightly wrapped around Hamaken's wrist.

However, Kyosuke had already appeared to the right of Nagato, who had just landed, with chakra constantly spinning in his right hand.

"Spiral pills!"

Faced with the attack at close range, Nagato's shadow clone remained calm, forming a seal around himself to block the chakra in the Rasengan.

Nagato's shadow clone raised his right hand, preparing to grab Kyosuke and absorb his chakra. Kyosuke immediately dodged to the side and thrust his left hand into the kunai he was holding, aiming at Nagato's shadow clone.

At the same time, the toad boss also swung his long sword and slashed horizontally, attacking Nagato's shadow clone from behind.

By sharing vision with the Chameleon Rinnegan, Nagato's shadow clone discovered this. Instead of engaging Kyosuke, it dodged the kunai attack and immediately jumped to the left, while quickly forming hand seals.

Dozens of wind blades quickly appeared around him and shot towards Kyosuke, who was chasing after him. Kyosuke had no choice but to stop and dodge, while at the same time creating dozens of shadow clones to coordinate with his main body in the attack.

At this moment, the cooldown of Shinra Tensei was over, and Nagato's shadow clone once again used Shinra Tensei to sweep across the entire field.

In one fell swoop, Kyosuke's shadow clones were destroyed, and at the same time, the attacks of Gamabunta and Gamahiro were deflected.

"Damn it, you're just a clone, how come you're so powerful! Summoning Jutsu!"

Fukasaku and Shima appeared on Kyosuke's shoulder, and were also surprised to see Nagato's shadow clone's Rinnegan: "I didn't expect the legend to be true, the Sage's Eye has reappeared in the ninja world."

"Bunta, buy me some time. My two immortals, the enemy is very strong. Please use the toad's song."

Upon hearing Kyosuke's words, the two toad sages exchanged a glance and nodded. They began to mobilize their chakra, their cheeks gradually swelling as they emitted mysterious syllables.

These syllables gradually spread from weak to strong, from near to far. Nagato's shadow clone noticed this and tried to interrupt the toad sage's spell, but was stopped by the three Gamabunta brothers.

Before long, Nagato's shadow clone felt the surrounding space begin to distort, and the melody produced by the croaking of frogs was like a large net, gradually trapping his body.

"This is a sound-based illusion?!"

Nagato's shadow clone sensed the drastic changes in his body and knew that this would have serious consequences. So, after dodging the attacks of the three Gamabunta brothers, he tried to hide inside the chameleon's body and use its invisibility to conceal himself.

Unexpectedly, Minato Namikaze arrived and shot a kunai into the chameleon's back. Then, using the Flying Thunder God Technique, he landed on the kunai and unleashed a Rasengan at the chameleon.

The chameleon was knocked out of its summoning spell and disappeared, and Nagato's shadow clone appeared.

"Magic - Toad's Lament!"

At that moment, the Toad Sage activated his genjutsu, and Nagato's shadow clone immediately lost control of its body. The next second, it was hit by Minato Namikaze's Rasengan and completely dissipated.

"Teacher, we must hurry and save Kushina!"

Just now, the shadow clone protecting Kushina was scattered, and Kyosuke quickly found Kushina based on the information fed back by the shadow clone.

In a small meadow in the woods, the towering Gedo Mazo appeared on the ground. Nagato stood in front of the Gedo Mazo, forming hand seals, manipulating it to absorb the Nine-Tails' chakra from Kushina's body. Yahiko stood guard to the side, holding Naruto in his right arm.

Kushina lay on the ground, unconscious, with a continuous stream of Nine-Tails chakra emanating from her body and being absorbed into the Gedo Mazo's mouth.

"Someone's coming!"

Nagato turned his head slightly to the right, Yahiko nodded, planted his greatsword directly into the ground, and began to form hand seals.

Centered around them, countless walls of sand and dust appeared, forming a huge circular barrier hundreds of meters high, protecting the two of them and the demonic statue from external interference.

"Stop right now!"

Minato Namikaze and Kyosuke rushed out, and were both shocked and furious to see what was happening. Minato Namikaze immediately used Rasengan to hit the barrier.

The swirling sandstorm within the barrier, like a millstone, continuously consumed and devoured the chakra within the Rasengan.
