Chapter 125

Shi Yuan watched this scene, also somewhat speechless.

Originally, he had intended to intervene in the war, but now he had completely abandoned that plan, coming to the sidelines to watch as a mere bystander.

Shi Yuan could be relaxed, but on the battlefield, the Third Hokage and the Konoha ninja began to fight for their lives.

With Shikamaru Nara as the strategist and Inoichi Yamanaka as the intelligence transmission expert.

Konoha’s overall combat power was brought to its maximum potential.

"Earth Style: Earth Wall!"

"Water Style: Water Shockwave!"

"Lightning Style: Lightning Ball!"

When dozens or even hundreds of ninja simultaneously perform a low-level ninjutsu, the power generated is extremely terrifying.

Endless Earth Walls surrounded the Nine-Tails, followed by Water Style to fill the gaps, then Lightning Style bombardment, and Fire Style scorching.

Although the damage caused to the Nine-Tails was limited, it must be said that the bombardment range of ninjutsu, often spanning hundreds of meters, looked extremely frightening.

"Shadow Possession Jutsu!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A massive number of shadows spread out from behind the Konoha crowd, taking advantage of the chaos to connect with the Nine-Tails' shadow, binding it!

Subsequently, the Third Hokage used the Body Flicker Jutsu to arrive at the Nine-Tails' side, then grabbed hold of it.

"Got Itachi!"

"Old thing, so what if Itachi've caught me!"

The Nine-Tails roared in anger; having gradually adapted to the Shadow Possession Jutsu and gained experience, it immediately began to struggle frantically.

Compared to the massive Nine-Tails, the Third Hokage’s body looked like that of a child.

But the next moment, the Nine-Tails revealed a look of terror and immediately roared in shock and rage.

"Bastard, it's actually that jutsu of the Fourth Hokage! What are Itachi trying to do?!"

The Third Hokage’s expression was cold. "Everything ends here!"

"Dead Demon Consuming Seal!"

Hum—

Following the Third Hokage’s roar.

The Death God’s arm suddenly passed through his abdomen and grabbed onto the Nine-Tails, immediately pulling out the Nine-Tails' soul.

"Damn it, this move again! I won't let Itachi off, Third Hokage!"

The Nine-Tails struggled frantically.

But it was useless!

The current Third Hokage, while not at his peak, was in a much better physical state than at the beginning of the story.

The Nine-Tails could not resist at all!

The soul was pulled out by the Death God like a toy, appearing to take no effort at all.

Seeing this, Shi Yuan narrowed his eyes.

"Is it that attacks on the soul state are special? Or is it just the Death God that is special?"

He thought of the Spirit Transformation Jutsu.

It seemed that after using that move to enter an enemy's body, killing was also extremely fast.

"It seems there are still secrets hidden within this."

Shi Yuan secretly noted this, his gaze toward the Third Hokage filled with curiosity.

One must know that the Dead Demon Consuming Seal is meant to seal the enemy's soul, which is to say, their chakra!

Was the Third Hokage going to completely seal the Nine-Tails? Or was he going to seal a small amount of chakra like the Fourth Hokage?

The Third Hokage shouted: "Sealing squad, seal the Nine-Tails immediately!"

Suddenly, several members of the sealing squad rushed forward and opened the giant sealing scroll they had prepared long ago.

The Nine-Tails, held by the Death God, could not move and could only watch helplessly as the seal descended upon it, roaring frantically:

"Bastard, do Itachi not care about this brat's life anymore?"

One must know that once it was sealed elsewhere, Naruto would be dead for sure!

The Third Hokage said sorrowfully: "Everything is for Konoha!"

"Bastard!"

The Nine-Tails was furious.

Rather than being sealed into another jinchuriki, it would rather remain in Naruto's body.

After all, Naruto's seal had already been broken once, and it had gained enough understanding of Naruto.

Feeling the horror emanating from the Death God, it hurriedly shouted:

"Let me go, I am willing to return to Naruto's body!"

The Third Hokage was stunned, then his expression changed.

Originally, he had already lost hope of resealing the Nine-Tails into Naruto, but he hadn't expected a sudden turn of events.

⑦⑥③④⑧〇①⑤⑦

But as the one performing the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, he didn't have much time left, so he roared inside: "Now, act immediately, or I will seal Itachi right now!"

He immediately sealed the portion of the Nine-Tails' soul he had grabbed.

The Nine-Tails' size shrank a little, and it felt a stinging pain.

It glared at the Third Hokage with unwillingness, and seeing that he was about to act, it actually dissipated into the air.

Revealing the body of the original jinchuriki, Naruto!

Seeing this, even Shi Yuan couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"Is this the so-called protagonist halo?"

"To actually be able to make the Nine-Tails, which had broken the seal, voluntarily return into the seal?!"

Shi Yuan was speechless.

The Nine-Tails' decisiveness stunned the Third Hokage and the Konoha crowd as well.

The Third Hokage was the first to recover. "Quick, apply a new seal to Naruto immediately, and then wait for Jiraiya to return so he can repair the seal!"

Konoha's barrier squad immediately began to act, and the giant seal from the scroll descended upon Naruto.

. .... 0

Another layer of seal was added outside of Naruto's Eight Trigrams Sealing Style.

Seeing this, the Third Hokage breathed a sigh of relief; at least Naruto had been saved.

He knew his time was running out and hurriedly gave his final instructions.

"Kakashi, Shikaku, Guy, after I die, the three of Itachi will be responsible for handling Konoha's affairs!"

"Recall Jiraiya and Tsunade as soon as possible; I have already sent people to contact them. The Fifth Hokage shall be chosen from the two of them."

"As for other matters, I believe Itachi will handle them well."

After saying this, the Third Hokage stared blankly toward Konoha, his eyes gradually losing their color, and he collapsed with a thud.

"Lord Hokage!"

Kakashi and the others hurriedly stepped forward to check, and their expressions changed drastically.

The Third Hokage was dead!

The few of them looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

The Uchiha incident seemed to have ended; they had seen how miserable the Uchiha losses were, and regardless of what they thought before, there would certainly be no rebellion in the future.

The Nine-Tails' rampage had also been stopped and it had been resealed into Naruto's body.

Although many people had died, although the Third Hokage had sacrificed himself, and Danzo was suspected to have sacrificed himself.

But Konoha's suffering seemed to have passed.

Suddenly, their expressions stiffened.

In the distance, Shi Yuan was standing there, bright and clear, seemingly deep in thought.

He was indeed contemplating.

After watching the entire process of the Dead Demon Consuming Seal and observing the Death God, he had made some new discoveries.

After the Death God swallowed the Third Hokage's soul, it dissipated like a puff of smoke.

This time, he had detected a trace of Space-Time Ninjutsu fluctuation!
