"No time to explain, transform, Enma."
The Third Hokage's only and urgent thought at this moment was to capture Kenshi as quickly as possible.
As for why Kenshi wasn't dead?
Why could he use something similar to the Uzumaki clan's Adamantine Binding Chains?
And whether Kenshi's true identity was actually Uzumaki or not?
The Third Hokage didn't want to delve into these questions anymore. He only knew that Kenshi was dangerous, and he had to take him down as soon as possible.
A man who had endured his inhuman torture for half a year and harbored a deep hatred for him, now that he had escaped, didn't have a single thought of revenge when he saw him, instead turning and leaving.
This rationality, unmoved by hatred, made the Third Hokage's scalp tingle.
At this moment, Kenshi's identity no longer mattered.
Because the Third Hokage absolutely didn't want an enemy like this, who could perfectly possess others and was incredibly rational, to continue living.
This time, they were lucky that Minato Namikaze discovered Kenshi's possession.
But what if next time, with the experience of this lesson, Kenshi directly possessed a baby in Konoha, who would discover it?
No one would discover it.
Even Minato Namikaze, with his special Chakra Sensing ability, wouldn't be able to detect anything unusual.
Because babies don't have Chakra.
The Chakra that Kenshi condensed after possessing someone would also be different from the Chakra he had now.
Minato's special Chakra Sensing ability wouldn't be able to discern Kenshi's identity either.
At that time, Kenshi could even choose to possess a baby from the Sarutobi clan.
It might even be possible that when the baby possessed by Kenshi grew up and displayed a genius-level ninja talent, he might even personally mentor and train Kenshi, hoping that he would become Hokage in the future.
Thinking about the possibility that he might personally train an enemy who hated him to the bone into Konoha's Hokage, the Third Hokage couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.
So, tonight, he absolutely couldn't let Kenshi live.
The Third Hokage had made the absolute decision to kill him.
"Understood, transform!"
As long-time battle companions, Enma and the Third Hokage worked in perfect harmony, trusting each other. The moment the Third Hokage's words fell, Enma completed his transformation, turning into a golden staff called the Enma Staff.
The Third Hokage grasped the staff with one hand, holding the bottom of the staff with the other, aiming the other end at Kenshi, who was being pulled away by two Black Iron Chains in the air.
Whizz!
The Enma Staff, transformed by Enma, had the ability to stretch and contract on its own. Upon receiving the Third Hokage's instructions, it quickly lengthened, instantly piercing the air like a sharp arrow, and slammed into Kenshi's back.
The moment it hit Kenshi's clothes, Enma wanted to transform two arms and grab him.
With Enma's indestructible body, as long as he grabbed him, Kenshi would be helpless and await his fate of death.
But Enma's Transformation Technique didn't work.
Because the moment it touched Kenshi's clothes woven from Black Iron Chains, Enma was affected by the Black Iron Chains' ability to bind and restrict Chakra. The part of the staff that had extended to Kenshi couldn't manipulate Chakra.
His Enma Staff was a special Transformation Technique jutsu.
He needed to output Chakra to activate the Transformation Technique and summon his two arms on the staff.
But now, he couldn't manipulate Chakra, so his arms couldn't transform.
Whizz!
Kenshi seized this moment, plus the force he gained from the impact of the Enma Staff, and sped forward even faster.
Kenshi's current direction was towards the side of the Hokage Rock.
The Root underground base wasn't in the Hokage Village, but in the suburbs, close to the Hokage Rock.
"Hiruzen, that guy's Chakra garment is condensed from sealing jutsu Chakra. It has the sealing ability to bind and restrict Chakra. My Transformation Technique didn't work."
Over here, Enma retracted his staff. A mouth appeared on the staff, conveying the intelligence about Kenshi's abilities that he had just learned through contact to the Third Hokage.
"I know."
The Third Hokage nodded, looking at Kenshi, who was flying into the distance, his black garment condensed from Chakra indistinguishable to the naked eye. His tone was heavy as he said, "Even his clothes are condensed from Adamantine Binding Chains!"
He naturally sensed the Chakra garment on Kenshi, but he didn't expect it to be condensed from sealing jutsu Chakra.
Terrifying sealing jutsu talent!
Terrifying Chakra control!
This man absolutely cannot be spared!
"Go!"
The Third Hokage, along with the eight ANBU ninjas behind him, quickly moved through the branches, using Body Flicker Technique to speed towards Kenshi.
The Root ninja, Wind Hawk, didn't follow. He entered the Root base through the hole where Kenshi had emerged, looking for the other three members of the Root team.
On Kenshi's side.
He quickly approached the slope on the side of the Hokage Rock.
When he was still two hundred meters away from the slope, two Black Iron Chains shot out from behind him, fixing themselves to the slope first.
Then, Kenshi controlled these two Black Iron Chains, using them like a stretched slingshot to launch himself forward.
But just as he was launched into the air, the Third Hokage, who was chasing after him, sensed Kenshi's intention. He immediately stepped on the two outstretched palms of the Enma Staff, using the instantly extending Enma Staff to quickly attack and arrive above Kenshi in the air.
Then, the Third Hokage instantly formed hand seals, spitting out a blazing, explosive Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique from his mouth, attacking Kenshi.
Although Kenshi reacted, it was too late to dodge.
Kenshi only had time to put a sealing helmet woven from Black Iron Chains on his head before the fireball hit him.
Boom!
The fireball exploded, and Kenshi, affected by the force of the explosion, wasn't thrown back by his Black Iron Chains. Instead, he fell onto the slope on the side of the Hokage Rock.
Bang!
Whizz!
The moment he landed, Kenshi quickly manipulated the Black Iron Chains behind him to adjust his posture, then quickly ran towards the back of the Hokage Rock.
That direction was away from the center of Konoha.
Kenshi needed to get as far away from the Root base as possible.
Bang!
At this time, a figure suddenly descended from the sky, landing in front of Kenshi, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Kenshi's forward movement abruptly stopped. A figure holding the Enma Staff quickly charged forward from the dust cloud.
It was the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had descended from the sky.
"Go!"
Kenshi stretched out his hand, forming a claw, and eight Black Iron Chains shot out from behind him like venomous snakes, aiming at the charging Third Hokage.
Bang, bang, bang... !
The Third Hokage's movements were as agile as a monkey leaping through the mountains. The Enma Staff, transformed by Enma, was agile and versatile in his hands, either poking, sweeping, or stretching, contracting, and dancing. All of Kenshi's Black Iron Chains were deflected.
In an instant, the Third Hokage was beside Kenshi. He swung the staff horizontally, striking Kenshi hard in the stomach.
Bang!
Although the Black Iron Chain garment was protecting him, Kenshi still felt a terrifying force instantly crushing his body. His body flew back like a steel baseball.
Bang, bang, bang... The trees blocking his path were all knocked down by Kenshi's impact.
Kenshi was knocked back into the forest.
Whizz, whizz, whizz, whizz!
Before Kenshi could land back on the ground, the eight ANBU ninjas who had followed behind, four of them quickly landed around Kenshi, surrounding him, the Third Hokage, and the other four ANBU ninjas.
"Four Purple Flame Formation!"
Four purple Chakra walls, each with sides exceeding fifty meters, twisted like flames, rising from the ground, forming a closed barrier in an instant.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Kenshi controlled three Black Iron Chains, pressing them against the ground, counteracting the force of the Third Hokage's blow against him, stabilizing his body.
"Pfft!"
The moment he stabilized, Kenshi's Black Iron Chain Chakra helmet instantly retracted into his acupoint space. His face was revealed, and he immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He looked up at the Third Hokage, who was surrounded by the other four ANBU ninjas, a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes, then he smiled.
He really was a man worthy of the name Third Hokage.
This physical strength was beyond Kenshi's expectations. Even though the Black Iron Chain garment had absorbed most of the force, the remaining force still penetrated his flesh, breaking his ribs and injuring his internal organs.
If it weren't for the powerful healing ability of Wood Release Chakra, the Third Hokage's blow could have directly taken Kenshi down.
"Just a minor injury?"
Perhaps trusting the power of the Four Purple Flame Formation, believing that Kenshi was already a sitting duck, the Third Hokage didn't immediately attack Kenshi. Instead, he frowned, seeing that Kenshi seemed to have suffered little injury from his full-power blow.
As the teacher of Tsunade Senju, he naturally knew the Monster Strength Technique, a taijutsu technique that unleashed power through precise Chakra manipulation.
With his full-power Monster Strength Technique, combined with the Enma Staff's indestructible body, a full-power blow from him and Enma working together shouldn't have been just a matter of coughing up blood.
But looking at Kenshi now, he didn't seem to be seriously injured at all.
"It seems like the black Chakra garment on him also has terrifying defensive capabilities."
The Third Hokage looked at the black Chakra garment on Kenshi, quickly analyzing some intelligence.
Ninja battles are all about who can gather information about their opponent faster.
