Chapter 123 - 123 (2/2)

”You've done fantastic. Now it's time for you to rest. It's my fight from now on!”

Minato used the Flying Thunder God to get her back to Konoha's camp, summoned Gamabunta to protect her, and then returned to the battlefield.

Whether it was the Rock or the Cloud Ninjas, none of them was used to Minato's Flying Thunder God. When the 3rd Raikage saw Minato back, with the Kyubi's Chakra gone, he and his troops were finally relieved.

Everyone on the battlefield was stunned by the Kyubi's immense power, as it manhandled two other Biju effortlessly.

Just like the Nibi and the Hachibi had brought courage to their hearts before, the Kyubi brought them down and made most of them have one thought: ”Run!”

Now that the Kyubi Junchuriki was absent, the pressure put upon the 3rd Raikage was decreased. Although the Hachibi was disabled by the Kyubi, a Biju's recovery ability was extremely terrifying. In no time, B had about half of his power restored.

It was impossible to get the Nibi back into the battle, as Kushina's attack almost killed Yugito Nii.

On the other side, Ryo was fully aware of what happened on the battlefield. In a little over a minute, the Nibi's Chakra disappeared, and the Hachibi's Chakra also became really weak.

”That Kyubi is the real deal! Two perfect Jinchuriki were taken down in under two minutes!” Ryo whispered.

The situation on the battlefield changed drastically. The high-end combat power without the Nibi was equal between the two camps.

The Cloud's overall power was the closest to that of Konoha, and they were able to dispatch 20000 ninjas led by 4 Kage tiers. Ryo suspected that this was their limit, and that they could not get more forces on this battlefield.

Going with such a battle on the front, Ryo was confident of Minato's ability to lead them to victory. However, such a victory should not come without a price.

Konoha's and the Rock's regular Ninjas were about 18000 people. This wasn't as much as the troops of the Cloud, so any victory should be tragic.

While Ryo didn't have time to worry about the Rock Ninjas, he worried about those of Konoha. Thinking about that, Ryo finally decided to take a gamble.

He ordered the troops following him to stop, and handed over their command to the strongest man after him. Uchiha Katachi was to lead the 8000 men to support Minato, while Ryo's destination changed to become the Cloud village.

Yes, Ryo's idea was to single-handedly attack the Cloud Village!

The Cloud had so many Ninjas deployed on the battlefield; there shouldn't be many of them left in the village. If only one to two thousands were there, Ryo was confident in his ability to handle them, and then, the village would fall in his hands.

He entered the Ice-Lightning Chakra mode, and used both his Ice teleportation and Lightning Chakra Flicker to reach the village in no time.

The village is located in a range of tall mountains, and surrounded by clouds. The air was moist and comforting, but Ryo wasn't there to enjoy the scenery.

Once he reached the village, Ryo entered Sage Mode and sensed the number of Ninjas in the village.

Ryo also confirmed the civilian gatherings around the village. While he wanted victory, he didn't want it badly enough to sacrifice any civilians.

After confirming everything, he left Sage Mode and entered the Ice Lightning Chakra mode. He condensed an Ice Bow like the one he used in the Wave Country, and an arrow appeared on it.

Ryo kept injecting Natural Energy within the Arrow until it reached its limit.

The Sensor Ninjas who were still in the village sensed an abnormality outside. But before they managed to report anything, the arrow was already released.
