"Boom... boom..."
The earth was rolling.
The trees were being uprooted.
Minato and Kushina, along with the rolling ground and trees, were pushed towards the center.
No matter what jutsu they used to attack, it didn't have any effect on the Black Iron Chains. The Black Iron Chains were stronger than they had imagined.
The look of despair on their faces grew stronger.
Kenshi stood on the back of the Black Iron giant eagle, watching Minato struggle below, a look of joy on his face.
Not many men could make the future "Eternal Girlfriend-Carrying" Namikaze Minato struggle in despair. Kenshi might be one of the few who could make Minato despair the most.
Minato had really tried everything, but he couldn't break the birdcage formed by the Black Iron Chains.
At this moment, Minato wished he had developed a single-target jutsu with strong destructive power earlier, a jutsu that could break the Black Iron Chains.
Or maybe his speed could have been faster, allowing him to escape the encirclement before the cage fell.
Unfortunately... it was too late.
"Heh, not bad!"
Kenshi smiled slightly, very satisfied with the effect of his birdcage.
Speaking of which, this move was inspired by Uzumaki Mito's Adamantine Binding Chains barrier jutsu after their battle.
Although he didn't know the Adamantine Binding Chains barrier jutsu.
But he could create a birdcage that could also bind enemies, using a physical method to bind them. It could still achieve the effect of a barrier jutsu.
The Black Iron Chains' strength and ability to freely shrink and expand were perfect for creating a physical barrier cage.
Thus, a Naruto version of the Black Iron Chain cage was born.
The despair on Minato's face now proved that Kenshi's cage was indeed not bad.
Minato probably didn't expect that Kenshi wouldn't be able to outlast him in a clash of large-scale jutsu.
But Kenshi's Black Iron Chains could outlast his Chakra, and they were also very strong.
"Boom... boom..."
Kenshi continued to shrink the cage. Soon, it shrunk to a radius of two hundred meters. Minato and Kushina, along with the rising ground, had reached the middle of the cage, looking directly at Kenshi.
They didn't know how they felt.
But Kenshi was very happy. Seeing the enemy's despair, especially Konoha's people, his joy doubled.
At this time, only ten seconds had passed since Kenshi had used the cage.
Sarutobi Tenjū and his group, flying at high speed from behind, were still twenty seconds away.
But in ten seconds, the cage would close. Kenshi could take Minato and Kushina's lives first.
"No good!!"
In the rear, Sarutobi Tenjū and his group were three kilometers away. Sarutobi Tenjū saw the cage shrinking and his eyes narrowed.
He knew that if they continued like this, Minato and Kushina would die before they arrived.
They had to interrupt Kenshi's control over the Black Iron Chain cage now.
But it was three kilometers away!
At this distance, their long-range jutsu attacks weren't enough.
"Never mind."
At this critical moment, Sarutobi Tenjū, as the captain, stepped forward. He kicked off the ground, jumped high forward from the ink bird, trying to close the distance with Kenshi as much as possible.
At the same time, he quickly formed hand seals with both hands, his chest instantly bulging like a large water tank. His forehead veins bulged, and his eyes were bloodshot. He gathered all the Chakra he could instantly output.
"Wind Release - Vacuum Bullet!!!"
Sarutobi Tenjū forcefully spat out a Vacuum Bullet the size of a ping pong ball towards Kenshi, three kilometers away. His chest, which had bulged to the limit, instantly exploded like a balloon that had been inflated to its limit.
In an instant, all the Chakra gathered in Sarutobi Tenjū's body turned into Wind Release Chakra, condensed into the Vacuum Bullet he spat out.
"Sizzle..."
The Vacuum Bullet, compressed from an excessive amount of Wind Release Chakra, was like a white sun flashing with white light. It had high energy and high density. Its speed was like a white laser. The moment it left his mouth, it was like a knife cutting through the night, leaving a straight white line in the air.
"No good!"
Kenshi stood on the back of the Black Iron giant eagle. His expression changed. He sensed Sarutobi Tenjū's actions and was prepared to defend.
But the Vacuum Bullet was too fast.
His Black Iron Chains couldn't shoot out in time to attack like he had done with Minato's wind bullets before. The attack had already reached him and hit him hard in the chest.
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
In an instant, this white, solid Vacuum Bullet, condensed with at least one-third of Sarutobi Tenjū's Chakra, hit Kenshi's Black Iron Armor. The Black Iron Chains were indeed tough. This powerful Vacuum Bullet couldn't break them. Instead, it exploded because it was blocked.
In an instant, it was like a high-pressure bomb exploding in Kenshi's chest. The terrifying shockwave instantly passed through the Black Iron Armor, shattering his breastbone and tearing apart his internal organs.
"Pfft..."
A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and Kenshi, propelled by the shockwave, flew forward violently.
"Bang!"
"Crack..."
"Boom!"
Finally, Kenshi smashed into the ground, breaking several large trees, and landed on the ground, creating a shattered small pit.
"Hurry."
In mid-air, Sarutobi Tenjū, whose face was pale, landed back on the ink bird that was picking him up. Then, he immediately said to his wife.
His attack had just interrupted Kenshi's control over the Black Iron Chain cage. The cage had stopped shrinking.
But he knew that Kenshi could only suffer minor injuries from the full force of his father's attack, which combined brute strength and the Adamantine Indestructible Ruyi Stick. The attack he had just launched had only bought them a few seconds at most.
They had to close the distance as much as possible before Kenshi reacted, so they could attack him.
"Understood."
Sarutobi Ayase increased the Chakra input while taking out a blank scroll and picking up a brush to start drawing.
Hyuga Sika and Echizen Ryōma also gathered Chakra, ready to release their corresponding jutsu and taijutsu attacks at any time.
"This Chakra..."
On the ground, Kenshi stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. The Wood Release Chakra in his body quickly repaired his injured flesh.
He looked towards the direction where Sarutobi Tenjū and his group were flying, his gaze seemingly penetrating all obstacles and seeing Sarutobi Tenjū.
Kenshi's eyes were probing. Then, he carefully sensed the familiar fluctuation deep within the Chakra that had spread and touched him when the Vacuum Bullet exploded.
After comparing it to the faint Chakra fluctuation he had sensed from Sarutobi Mina before, Kenshi's eyes lit up. He was completely excited and couldn't contain himself. His expression became frenzied.
"Hahaha!"
"That's right, it's this Chakra fluctuation!"
"Then... you must be the Third Hokage's son."
Kenshi laughed loudly. At the same time, with a thought, he controlled the Black Iron giant eagle to fly over, then retracted it into his body. Looking at Sarutobi Tenjū, who was flying towards him at high speed in his Chakra Sensing, he was excited.
"Good!"
"Great!"
"The Third Hokage has a daughter, and he also has a son. And it's clearly not just one."
"This is great!!"
In an instant, Kenshi's mind flashed with seven or eight schemes on how to make the Third Hokage suffer through his son.
"Clang, clang!"
At this time, the sound of metal colliding suddenly rang out. Kenshi came back to his senses and looked towards the source of the sound. Minato hadn't given up. He was attacking the Black Iron Chains with his kunai, even more forcefully. The expression on his face was no longer despair, but hope.
It seemed that the arrival of Sarutobi Tenjū and his group had given Minato an illusion, making him think that he could survive.
But how could that be possible?
"Die!"
Kenshi glanced at Sarutobi Tenjū, who was getting closer, then with a thought, he controlled the grid of the Black Iron Chain cage to expand by twice the size. This would make it easier to squeeze out the soil and trees inside, and the cage would shrink faster. Plus, after he retracted the Black Iron giant eagle's control, he focused all his mind on controlling it.
In an instant, the cage's shrinking speed suddenly increased.
"No good."
Sarutobi Tenjū, who was far away, saw the cage suddenly shrinking faster, and his expression changed. He instantly became anxious.
Because he couldn't attack Kenshi this time.
Kenshi had been hit by his attack and landed right on the back of the cage. Now, with the cage in front of him, his attack couldn't reach Kenshi.
For a moment, Sarutobi Tenjū was secretly resentful, but there was nothing he could do.
Time was too tight. They were too late.
"Are we going to die?"
Minato, holding Kushina in the cage, used his body to resist the soil being squeezed out by the cage's contraction. He felt pressure coming from all parts of his body. His bones were creaking, and his chest felt like it was about to be crushed by a large stone.
Minato felt despair in his heart, and he was even more ashamed and pained.
He had already lost a good friend. Now, he was about to lose the girl he loved again.
"No!"
"No!"
"No, I don't want Minato to die!"
"Ah! No..."
Just as Minato began to recall the memories of his life, Kushina, who was tightly held and protected by him, erupted.
The power of love sometimes really doesn't make sense.
Clang, clang... In an instant, countless golden Chakra chains shot out from Kushina's body, wrapping around Kenshi's Black Iron Chains, pulling them outwards forcefully.
"Heh!"
"A burst of love, huh!"
On the ground below, Kenshi felt the terrifying pressure coming from the Black Iron Chain cage. He grinned.
The force of the Black Iron Chains he controlled wasn't as strong as Kushina's Adamantine Binding Chains. The cage stopped shrinking and was even being pulled open.
"It seems I can't kill you today, Minato."
"But... you'll regret this."
Kenshi glanced at Minato, who was being held in Kushina's arms, inside the cage that was being stretched open. Then, he glanced at Kushina, who was glaring angrily at him. Some perverted images flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but smile slightly.
Then, with a thought, he retracted the Black Iron Chains and simultaneously jumped into the air, releasing the Black Iron giant eagle. Standing on its back, he flew forward without hesitation.
