This guy really is a great teacher...
He managed to get Minato to lead the Uchiha here and block Danzo. At least for now, Wakaho's Five-Tails partner wouldn't need to be sealed.
It's a partial repayment of the favor.
It looks like I need to find a chance to discuss with Orochimaru about making Kakashi his disciple too.
As a parent, it's always reassuring to have your child under such a teacher.
"Ha!"
Even so, Danzo showed no signs of fear.
"I'm going to pass through here today. Let's see who dares to stop me..."
As his words fell...
Boom—!
Boom—!
Thunderous sounds echoed, and amidst the noise, there was a faint, urgent, childish voice shouting, though it was too unclear to understand.
Everyone looked over and saw Wakaho riding the Five-Tails, rushing madly towards them!
"Wakaho!?" Fugaku's heart was filled with shock and joy. The kid is okay? If he's okay, that's great! Wait, what was he shouting? For help!?
"Kid?" White Fang was astonished. Why was this kid here? What was he shouting? Was he about to act?
"Wakaho-sama?" Minato was surprised and also relieved. Wakaho-sama's arrival meant that Orochimaru might be coming too?
"Evil Uchiha!" Danzo gritted his teeth, his earlier calm completely vanished! This kid really intends to control the Tailed Beast to harm Konoha!
Danzo roared, "Prepare the sealing!"
The Root ninjas quickly changed their formation, and several of them carrying scrolls immediately began to unroll them.
"Dare you!?"
Clang—
White Fang drew his sword!
"Control the situation!" Fugaku commanded, and the Uchiha clan members were ready for action!
"It's impossible to stop them..." Minato cursed under his breath, darting towards Danzo.
Orochimaru's prediction was correct; the situation had indeed spiraled out of control. He needed to get Danzo away from here!
Boom—!
The Five-Tails skidded to a halt, kicking up a massive amount of sand and gravel.
Wakaho used the momentum to leap into the air, landing on a Fire Dragon, and dove towards everyone!
"Grab that blond-haired man! He's the mastermind behind this!!"
"Protect Elder Danzo!!"
Wakaho roared, frantic and desperate!
Everyone was stunned, looking around in confusion, especially at the blond-haired man...
"Minato? When did you..." White Fang was surprised.
At this moment, Minato was directly behind Danzo, one hand resting on Danzo's shoulder, with a hint of a throat-slitting gesture...
"????" Minato looked puzzled!
The worst part was...
"So it was you, Minato..."
Danzo closed his eyes, the killing intent in the air was intense, hard to distinguish who it belonged to, but Minato was closest and the first to act...
Minato's background was clean, and all those who had access to the Nine-Tails host had been thoroughly investigated by the Anbu and Root.
Minato... was the monkey's person.
So you've really made up your mind, Danzo.
Heh... you've finally grown up, old friend.
"There's no time to explain, Elder Danzo!" Minato gritted his teeth and activated the Flying Thunder God Technique. Although he didn't know what he had activated, Orochimaru would definitely explain!
Swish!
Minato and Danzo vanished.
No one reacted in time.
Including Wakaho!
"Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!!"
Whoosh—!
Wakaho was unable to stop the jutsu in time!
The intense flames roared towards the Root ninjas, especially those carrying the scrolls!
'Damn it!'
Wakaho silently cursed in his mind
