One Dragon Tail Kick will shatter your Susanoo dream!

Then, the imperfect Jinchūriki will eventually have a day when they explode. As Rin regained consciousness, one tail after another stretched out from behind her.

A hidden base of the Root was razed to the ground in the aftermath of the battle between Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze, and Rin, who was disguised as a Tailed Beast!

Danzo Shimura watched from the outside with a heart full of heartache, not for the Jinchuriki and Minato, but for the delicate instruments inside that couldn't be moved in time.

The battle quickly subsided, and Rin's tailed beast cloak slowly dissipated, revealing an unconscious body. Upon seeing this, Minato Namikaze rushed forward to check her breathing.

"It's alright, Rin is just a little weak. Thank you for your help, Jiraiya-sensei!"

In the previous battle, the two had been on the defensive in order to avoid harming the Jinchuriki, and their attacks were few and far between. In the end, it was Jiraiya who used his hardened hair to bind Rin, and Minato Namikaze finally found an opportunity to reseal her.

For several days afterward, Konoha not only faced condemnation from Kirigakure, who accused them of stealing the Three-Tails, but also had to deal with the Three-Tails' rampage at any time.

Even Danzo Shimura couldn't take it anymore, after all, the destroyed secret base belonged to him!

The higher-ups quickly reached a consensus, and then Hiruzen Sarutobi also made the final decision. After all, the choice between a dispensable medical ninja and the possibility of another war with Kirigakure at any time was obvious!

The following night, another explosion was heard outside the village. Minato was immediately awakened from his bed, with Kushina looking worried beside him.

"How is this possible? The sealing technique I used this time should have lasted at least a week!"

Fortunately, he left the Flying Thunder God mark near Rin, and with Kushina's encouragement, Minato Namikaze dressed and disappeared from the spot.

As soon as they arrived at the base's perimeter, they spotted two furtive figures darting out from the base's exit. Their clothing and intricate mask patterns clearly indicated they were from Root.

Minato Namikaze instantly realized that it was Danzo Shimura who was causing trouble, and that Danzo's actions had most likely been approved by the Third Hokage!

Thus, another great battle began, and Minato Namikaze, along with Jiraiya who rushed to the scene, once again stabilized the rampaging Rin.

Then came a flurry of footsteps, followed by Danzo Shimura's somber voice.

"The unstable Jinchuriki must be eliminated on the spot! Where are the Root ninjas?!"

Dozens of masked Root ninjas quickly stepped forward, drew their weapons, and prepared to bypass the two and kill the unconscious Rin.

Just when things were in crisis, Minato Namikaze instantly threw several kunai away, then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to easily repel the Root ninja who came forward, and stared at the opponent.

"Lin is my subordinate, and I will never allow such a thing to happen!"

Seeing Minato Namikaze resist, Danzo Shimura's eyes flashed with excitement. In the village, the other party's reputation now surpassed that of the three legendary Sannin of Konoha, and the Uchiha clan was also very close to him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi has been frequently mentioning the other party lately, which has made Danzo Shimura feel threatened.

"Jonin Minato, this is a decision made by the higher-ups. Are you sure you want to lead the resistance?"

Danzo Shimura secretly formed hand seals, preparing to launch a sneak attack with Wind Release while waiting for Minato's response.

Jiraiya, who was standing to the side, wiped the sweat from the ends of his hair, then stood between the two of them and squinted at Shimura Danzo.

"Lord Danzo, please don't be in a hurry!"

"Minato, calm down!"

Interrupting their argument, Jiraiya fell into deep thought, pondering how to solve the problem at hand!

Suddenly, Shimura Danzo took out a scroll and said with a smile.

"Minato, the Hokage has ordered that you are no longer the Jonin leading Team 7. Please proceed to the Hokage Building to receive new orders. I will handle the rioting Jinchuriki here!"

"Danzo!!!"

Minato's eyes were bloodshot. He hadn't expected that Shimura Danzo and the higher-ups would resort to such a scheme. Jiraiya gripped Minato's hand tightly and shook his head.

"Calm down, Minato! You can't afford to have a direct confrontation with the higher-ups right now!"

Just as the Root ninjas were getting closer to Rin, a highly destructive fireball flew out from the dense forest, followed by an explosion.

The Root ninjas who stepped forward reacted quickly, using various methods to block the attack. Suddenly, a figure darted out of the forest, the three tomoe in his eyes glowing with a dazzling crimson!

Then, a smoke bomb obscured everyone's vision. Obito Uchiha's eyes were filled with hatred as he carried the unconscious Rin in his arms and sped towards the Land of Grass, muttering to himself.

"If Minato-sensei can't help, our idol can definitely help solve this..."

Obito, carrying Rin as he fled, did not stop at all when facing the Root ninjas who kept appearing in the forest. He nimbly dodged their attacks and passed them by.

Danzo Shimura's face turned ugly. He then personally used the Body Flicker Technique to give chase. Looking at Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya who had fallen behind him, he roared angrily.

"Obito Uchiha attacked a Root ninja, which is a capital offense! Jonin Minato, why don't you personally capture Obito!"

Minato Namikaze whistled, the Yellow Flash of his name, and blurted it out without thinking.

"Lord Danzo, I've tried my best to catch up, but I just can't keep up..."

Danzo Shimura gave a light "humph" and then buried his head in the chase, quickly getting far away from Konoha Village. As time went by, Obito's injuries became more and more serious.

He held Rin tightly in front of him, his back covered in wind-style cuts, blood gushing from the corner of his mouth, before finally collapsing on the road, still a long way from the border.

"Damn it, how could I fall here!"

Countless ranged ninjutsu attacks were launched at Obito, but they were all blocked by a figure that flashed by. Shimura Danzo looked at the innocent-looking Minato Namikaze, his tone filled with barely suppressed anger.

"Minato, why did you block the attack for the rogue ninja Obito?!"

Minato Namikaze spread his hands.

"No, I didn't. I just rushed in too fast and was almost accidentally injured by a Root ninja, so I was forced to defend myself."

Shimura Danzo was speechless as he looked at Namikaze Minato, who was pretending to be stupid, and Jiraiya, who was pulling at grass roots and exclaiming that he had discovered a new species. He couldn't help but think to himself.

"How can a group of people bound by emotions possibly lead Konoha to greatness!"

"The position of Fourth Hokage must be mine!"

Then Danzo Shimura stepped forward and personally used ninjutsu in an attempt to kill Obito and Rin. He deliberately avoided their vital points with each attack, all to force Minato Namikaze to make a move...

Minato Namikaze gripped his shuriken and was about to step forward when he was grabbed by Jiraiya, who had a wry smile on his face.

"Minato, no!"

"Master Jiraiya, if I cannot protect my subordinates and disciples, then even if I become Hokage, it will be meaningless!"

Looking at Minato Namikaze's determined gaze, Jiraiya sighed softly, then looked at Obito, who had just been captured. Danzo Shimura, with a ferocious expression, was stepping on Obito's cheek.

Jiraiya's expression tightened, then he forcefully pressed down Minato's raised arm and revealed a slight smile.

"How could I let you do something like this..."

"Let's leave it to the teacher!"
