Inside the main hall of the Imperial Palace in the Heavenly Dou Empire’s Imperial City.
The civil and military officials stood in two rows, but everyone’s hearts were preoccupied with the celestial scenes playing continuously in the sky.
They looked up at the horizon from time to time and discussed the matter endlessly.
The officials whispered amongst themselves: “Look at these people from the Naruto Continent, they are very obedient to orders, their actions are measured and disciplined!” “And their self-created soul skills called ninjutsu are truly powerful, with flames, lightning, and water control all possessing considerable destructive power!” “Moreover, their martial spirits work together seamlessly, complementing each other in both offense and defense, and their tactics are extremely sophisticated.” “It’s just a bit of a pity that the total number of ninjas doesn’t seem to be that many, and from beginning to end, there isn’t a single large, officially organized army.” Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, secretly weighing the power gap between Naruto Continent and Douluo Continent.
On the dragon throne, Emperor Xueye listened calmly to the discussions of his officials.
Then, he turned his gaze to Marshal Gelong standing beside him and slowly began to speak.
“Marshal Golong, from your military perspective, what is the actual military strength of the Naruto Continent?” Ge Long stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and bowed deeply, his expression solemn and composed.
“Your Majesty, after careful observation, I have discovered that their ninjutsu is extremely diverse!
They even have corresponding soul skills for different martial souls!” Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye nodded slightly and sighed softly.
“In that case, they don’t have a soul ring and soul skill system.
Instead, they make up for their shortcomings perfectly with their self-created ability of ninjutsu.
Their choice of moves is endless, which is much more flexible than our fixed soul skills.” Golong’s mind raced, and he immediately bowed and offered his advice.
“Your Majesty, I don’t think it might be a bad thing.” “Since ninjutsu can be learned without any barriers, perhaps we Soul Masters of Douluo can also refer to it, learn from it, and imitate it on our own.” “Furthermore, they ultimately lack the support of soul rings and soul bones.
In a direct military confrontation, in terms of resources and the strength of their armies, our Heavenly Dou Empire still has the upper hand!” Upon hearing these words, Emperor Xueye’s tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, a great weight was lifted from his heart, and his expression became much more relaxed.
…
The visuals slowly shift across the sky, instantly transitioning to an elegant and cozy wooden cabin.
The interior was softly lit, simply and comfortably furnished, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that starkly contrasted with the horrific scene of war-torn Konoha City and crumbling buildings outside.
[A tall, handsome, blond man suddenly appeared; the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was marked beside the canopy.] [Martial Soul: Flying Thunder God Kunai, Level 96!] He gently placed the severely injured, weak, red-haired woman he was holding onto the bed.
The woman was none other than his wife, Kushina Uzumaki.
It was clear that the two had just gone through a fierce battle; Kushina was pale and severely weakened.
[Minato then gently placed the newborn baby in swaddling clothes beside Kushina.] Kushina gently stroked the swaddled baby in her arms, her eyes filled with worry as she gazed at Minato Namikaze before her, softly urging, “Minato, be careful!” Minato Namikaze didn’t reply immediately, but his gaze was resolute.
He turned and walked to the wardrobe, took out a personal cloak, and swiftly put it on.
[On the back of the cloak, the four characters for “Fourth Hokage” were bold and powerful, while the red patterns on the hem of the robe flowed and fluttered, resembling a cluster of blazing flames.] His gaze was deep and focused, his tone firm and resolute as he spoke, each word distinct and clear: “As the Hokage, I will never lose!” As the light and shadows shifted across the sky, Minato Namikaze’s figure stepped forward, catching the eye of everyone on the Douluo Continent.
The focus of men and women instantly shifted dramatically.
The male Soul Masters were filled with solemnity and astonishment: “Another one in their nineties!
So young!” “Yes!
The youngest Title Douluo on the continent is already over forty!
This Fourth Hokage looks like he’s only in his twenties!” “What kind of talent is this?
Is it level four or five a year?” “Is this the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze?
He just finished a fierce battle, and even his wife was seriously injured.
You can imagine how dangerous that fight was!” “Another powerful individual who can control space?
There are way too many people with spatial abilities in the Naruto world!” The female Soul Masters’ eyes sparkled with amazement: “The Fourth Hokage is so handsome!
He has such a gentle and reliable demeanor!” “I’ve never seen such a strong and upright man who also knows how to take care of his family and is gentle.
He’s so charming!” Shrek Academy campus Everyone looked up at the sky, Ning Rongrong stared intently at Minato Namikaze, and couldn’t help but sigh from the bottom of her heart: “Wow, so handsome!
He’s strong yet gentle.
How can there be such a perfect man in the world?” As she spoke, she turned her head and glanced at Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun beside her, and couldn’t help but scoff at them with a look of disdain.
Dai Mubai immediately felt provoked in public and retorted defiantly, “Hey Ning Rongrong, what kind of look is that?
Am I not handsome?” Oscar and Ma Hongjun quickly echoed behind him, nodding in agreement that they were not bad either.
Tang San secretly scoffed to himself: How shallow!
Xiao Wu would never be so infatuated.
To everyone’s surprise, Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips and retorted without any mercy.
“Fatty, it’s one thing for them to be involved, but how dare you even show up?” “And Dai Mubai and Oscar, don’t think I don’t know you two are always out having a fancy time!” “In terms of strength, I’m no match for the Fourth Hokage; in terms of gentleness and responsibility, I’m miles behind.
Compared to him, I’m just a crooked melon and a cracked date.
Am I wrong, old lady?” These words left Dai Mubai and the other two looking embarrassed, and they could only scratch their heads and try to argue: “You can’t just keep praising others and dampening your own spirits!” Ning Rongrong grew even more disdainful, turning to look at Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu beside her: “Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, you two be the judge, am I wrong?” Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Dai Mubai, her tone cold and blunt: “Disgusting.” Xiao Wu’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she pursed her lips shyly: “That Fourth Hokage…
was indeed very handsome.” Tang San was utterly shocked: “Xiao Wu, how could even you…” Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue, blinked her big eyes, and laughed, “Oh, Third Brother, to be honest, he is indeed more handsome than you!” Tang San felt a weight on his forehead!
…
The sky continues Minato Namikaze vanished from the hut in an instant, and the next moment he stood motionless atop the towering Hokage Rock.
He looked down, his gaze sweeping across the ravaged city of Konoha, finally settling on the Nine-Tails wreaking havoc.
As if sensing his presence, the raging Nine-Tails abruptly halted its rampage.
Its massive head slowly turned, its crimson beastly eyes fixed intently on Minato Namikaze atop Hokage Rock, unleashing a deep, earth-shattering roar filled with ferocity and hostility.
The next instant, the Nine-Tailed Fox opened its massive maw, and a dark, eerie purple energy rapidly condensed, swirled, and expanded around its mouth, coalescing into a spherical energy sphere powerful enough to destroy an entire landscape—the Tailed Beast Ball.
A deafening roar shook the surrounding area as the Nine-Tails unleashed a powerful burst of energy, sending a terrifying ball of energy hurtling through the air with destructive force, hurtling straight toward Minato Namikaze on the Hokage Rock.
“Don’t even think about damaging Konoha again!” (End of this Chapter)
