Naruto: I Can Take People Through the Ninja World in the Future-Chapter 464: The Destruction of Kirigakure

Watching the Bijūdama hurtling toward them, many Kirigakure ninjas were terrified out of their wits. Fortunately, the angle of the Bijūdama was very high, not aimed at the ground of Kirigakure, but rather hundreds of meters above the village!

*BOOM!*

The mini Bijūdama exploded, its dazzling orange light even outshone the twilight sun on the horizon, looking utterly terrifying. The shockwave spread, destroying many houses in an instant and throwing many villagers into the air. However, the explosion's power and range were controlled very precisely, not directly covering the Kirigakure area below...

Clearly, Minato and the Kyūbi were using this aerial explosion of the mini Bijūdama as a striking declaration of war against Kirigakure. This was both a declaration of war and an act of intimidation and warning. Minato had no intention of causing excessive slaughter, as if the Bijūdama had exploded directly in the center of Kirigakure, it would have killed at least tens of thousands of people.

However, the core and main forces of Kirigakure would definitely be destroyed today!

The first mini Bijūdama was merely a declaration of war and a warning, aimed at driving out and evacuating many of Kirigakure's civilians. Once most of the civilians had evacuated, that would be the moment of Kirigakure's true destruction!

It is said that, on the other hand, Future Sasuke also destroyed Kumogakure and Kirigakure in the same way?

"Haahhh!" Minato sighed. Why was Fugaku's son Sasuke's personality so similar to his? Whereas Future Naruto was too kind and gentle... But it's fine, their personalities complemented each other!

Minato, who had fully transformed into Kyūbi Mode, calmly waited in place, thinking about various things while observing Kirigakure's movements.

At this moment, Kirigakure, terrified by the aerial Bijūdama explosion, was in complete chaos. Many villagers began screaming and fleeing, while numerous Kirigakure ninjas rushed out, organizing evacuations while attacking Minato.

At the same time, Kirigakure's current highest leader, Elder Genji, finally received the news that the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, had come to declare war. He broke out in a cold sweat due to the sudden Bijūdama explosion. This old man, who had schemed all his life, older than Ōnoki, and had lived through four Mizukage, had finally miscalculated.

He had never expected that Konoha would actually attack Kirigakure, let alone have the Fourth Hokage himself come! And directly using a large-scale attack. This clearly showed the intent to destroy Kirigakure!

No wonder Genji misjudged. He only wanted to test his luck with Konoha's choice, hoping to regain the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura. If Konoha was willing to return Yagura, Genji was also prepared to mobilize Kirigakure to join the war. Unfortunately, when trying to bargain, one must have enough capital and courage!

Although based on previous information, the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato was not a bloodthirsty person, who would have thought he would flip the table this time?

It was too sudden! But now, whatever the reason, the most important thing was to stop the Fourth Hokage and save Kirigakure!

Genji was in a panic. After giving a few orders to the Kirigakure ninjas to organize the evacuation of civilians, he immediately ran out of Kirigakure, heading toward Minato while shouting pleas:

"Wait! Hokage, everything can be negotiated! Kirigakure is willing to join the war! Willing to join the ninja alliance forces! Together, we can fight the enemy!"

Unfortunately, once the opportunity to choose was missed, there would be no chance for regret. Even if Kirigakure now agreed to cooperate and sent troops to join the ninja alliance forces, it was too late. It was impossible for the alliance forces already prepared in the Land of Frost to wait for Kirigakure for several days, right?

Unless Kirigakure had many Kage-level ninjas or thousands of high-level ninjas who could influence the balance of victory against the Ōtsutsuki on the moon, then it might be considered. Unfortunately, Kirigakure had absolutely no such strength or capital.

And Kirigakure wasn't realizing their mistake; they knew they were about to die. Minato had come only to eliminate the threat of Kirigakure, not to hear their pleas.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Seeing the Kyūbi and Minato himself stop attacking in the distance, Genji's hopes began to rise. While shouting, he and several Kirigakure ninjas rushed over. If the first Bijūdama wasn't fired at the village ground, didn't explode directly, then there was still room for negotiation!

He had said it too, the kind-hearted Minato definitely wouldn't kill indiscriminately! As long as they could persuade Minato, then today's village destruction crisis could definitely be resolved safely!

Unfortunately, just as Genji and the others were filled with hope, what greeted them was another Bijūdama fired by the Kyūbi!

Genji went numb, screaming in his heart that it was all over! Then he and the Kirigakure ninjas instantly evaporated and vanished.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

The battle, or more accurately, the one-sided destruction, lasted for ten minutes. More precisely, Minato gave Kirigakure's civilians ten minutes to escape. After most of the civilians had evacuated, he began working with the Kyūbi, continuously 'spitting out candies' all over Kirigakure. It's just that these dark purple Bijūdama 'candies' were a bit too powerful. Ordinary ninjas couldn't withstand them. Each exploding 'candy' could instantly destroy a large area, illuminating the dark twilight sky.

And so, after more than a dozen 'candies' were dropped, the entire Kirigakure was wiped off the face of the earth! Along with it, thousands of Kirigakure's main ninja forces also evaporated! After this battle, Kirigakure was essentially destroyed. In the near future, they would no longer have the ability to stab Konoha in the back.

This mass slaughter did not shake Minato's resolve. After experiencing so much, Minato was extremely determined. If he didn't eliminate the enemy's threat, it might be himself who would pay the price in the end. Even if there was only a slight possibility, he didn't want Kushina and his village to face threats again.

Besides, Minato also didn't have much time to reflect. Because he immediately had to go to the Land of Iron. There was still a 'neutral' country with no sense of self-awareness waiting to be destroyed! In ordinary ninja wars, not joining in was fine, but now, facing the crisis of the Ōtsutsuki on the moon trying to destroy the entire ninja world, standing on the sidelines was just asking for death!
