Naruto: People are in Konoha, the system arrived 20 years earlier Chapter 133

Hayato was right; the contents of those two ceramic jars were none other than the two Tailed Beasts of Kirigakure.

One of them was the Three-Tails Isobu, a gigantic turtle covered in sharp spikes with three tails.

The other was the Six-Tails Saiken, a massive slug with six tails.

Both Tailed Beasts had clearly been confined in their containers for a long time. The moment they returned to the surface, they became extremely agitated.

“I’m finally out!” Isobu roared, then looked around.

Everything was shrouded in a misty haze, and a vast ocean lay not far away.

To be honest, Isobu liked this environment; it would be even better if it hadn’t been captured by humans.

It understood that humans releasing it now certainly didn’t bode well.

But it didn’t care about such things. As a price for being imprisoned for so long, destroying this place was perfectly fine.

Having made up its mind, Isobu curled up, wrapping its body with the massive, thick shell on its back, and began rolling around like a wheel, heedless of anything.

Hayato, who was nearby, bore the brunt of this. Fortunately, he managed to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport and evade.

“This is troublesome. Tailed Beasts aren’t easy to deal with,” Hayato muttered, his expression grave as he watched the reckless, giant meat tank rampage across the battlefield.

Of course, there was still the Six-Tails, which hadn’t moved yet.

At this moment, a few unlucky Kirigakure ninja arrived nearby. When they saw the Six-Tails’ massive form, they quickly slammed to a halt.

“Damn it, why did the Third Mizukage release this guy?”

They quickly changed direction and fled elsewhere.

But Saiken had already detected them; how could it possibly let them leave?

Like Isobu, it now harbored great hostility and hatred towards humans.

After all, who could understand the pain they had endured for so long, being confined for so many years?

Saiken continuously spewed out powerful corrosive liquid from its body, moving at extreme speed and surging in all directions.

On the other side, the Third Mizukage watched his village become riddled with holes, his heart aching.

He had somewhat underestimated the emotions of the two Tailed Beasts.

He thought they would only target humans to kill.

But he hadn’t expected them to be causing indiscriminate destruction.

Suddenly, he regretted making that decision.

If this continued, not only would the Leaf ninja be attacked, but everyone in Kirigakure would also be affected.

What if Kirigakure and these Leaf ninja perished together?

But what was done was done, and he had no recourse. His figure vanished from the scene.

He planned to gather the scattered Kirigakure ninja and find a safe place to hide first.

The place where the village’s civilians and genin were previously sheltered would be suitable.

Once the Tailed Beasts and the Leaf ninja had battled each other into mutual destruction, they would emerge to clean up the mess.

Perfect, plan complete.

As for how many elite Kirigakure ninja could be saved, that was up to fate.

Hayato’s thoughts were similar to the Third Mizukage’s: retreat first. Engaging the two Tailed Beasts head-on now would be unwise.

Soon, he was shuttling between the high-rise buildings of Kirigakure, unable to move on the ground.

Saiken’s acid was flowing constantly across the ground; getting even a little bit on oneself would surely be unpleasant.

After traveling for a while, familiar faces appeared: it was Junsuke and his team.

They looked somewhat disheveled, and their squad had lost many members.

When they saw Hayato, a hint of surprise appeared on their faces.

“Hayato, it’s great that you’re alright,” Junsuke said.

Hayato came before them. Junsuke gazed gravely at Isobu, who was destroying buildings everywhere.

“I didn’t expect Kirigakure’s decision-makers to release Tailed Beasts inside the village? Are they willing to sacrifice the village just to keep us here?”

Isobu was responsible for destroying the high-rise buildings on the surface, preventing anyone from having high ground to avoid Saiken’s acid attacks.

It had to be said, the two of them cooperated quite well.

This was no time for pleasantries, Hayato quickly spoke, “Let’s get out of here first.”

The Third Mizukage made a mistake; this wasn’t Konoha. Why should they stay here and help him deal with the Tailed Beasts?

It could only be said that the Tailed Beasts would delay their invasion of Kirigakure.

But in the current situation, it was hard to say; wasn’t this destruction faster than what Konoha could achieve?

Hayato took the lead, moving at extreme speed, clearing a path. His target was the coast where their warship was anchored.

He intended to return to the warship first.

Behind him, the sounds of collapsing buildings echoed continuously, the ground shaking, and acid flowed like an encroaching flood.

He took a moment to retrieve his communicator and left a message for Sakumo, telling him to lead his team to rendezvous at the warship.

Before long, he received a reply.

Hayato held it to his ear and listened.

“Hayato, the situation is urgent, so I’ll make it brief. The Third Hokage has one of your Flying Thunder God kunai. He said that if you encounter something you can’t resolve, you can return to the village and ask him for help.”

“We’re also heading towards the warship. You can go back to the village first and report the situation here to the Third Hokage.”

Upon hearing this, Hayato’s eyebrow twitched. Well, well, so there was such a thing. Why bother running then?

Hayato slammed to a halt.

Junsuke, who was following him, also stopped, asking in confusion, “Why did you stop?”

Hayato smiled at Junsuke, “You guys retreat first.”

“Where are you going then? You’re not thinking of taking them on alone, are you?”

“I’m going to call for backup,” Hayato said with a smile, waving his hand, then his figure vanished from the scene.

After switching his perception to several anchor points in Konoha, Hayato finally appeared in the Hokage’s office.

At this moment, Hiruzen was using the Telescope Technique to “guard” the village.

Upon seeing Hayato suddenly appear, Hiruzen was startled.

His heart fluttered as if caught doing something wrong, and the image on the crystal ball instantly disappeared.

He cleared his throat, then calmly spoke, “Hayato, why are you back? Did you encounter something you couldn’t resolve?”

Hayato paid no mind to Hiruzen’s small action. He nodded and said, “The Mizukage of Kirigakure released the Tailed Beasts inside the village. The battle is extremely chaotic right now.”

Hearing this, Hiruzen shot to his feet.

What?!

Releasing Tailed Beasts in the village?

What a brainless move! But this also showed that they had indeed pushed Kirigakure to its breaking point.

They were determined to fight to the end, even if it meant mutual destruction.

Good heavens, did Sakumo and his team fight that thoroughly this time? Immediately, Hiruzen’s face lit up.

Perhaps this was the best opportunity to completely conquer Kirigakure.

“Let’s go, I’ll go with you to Kirigakure.”

Saying this, Hiruzen took off his Hokage robe, quickly put on his battle armor, and stood ready.

“Hokage-sama, they released both Tailed Beasts. Shouldn’t we call for a few more people to be safe?” Hayato asked hesitantly.

Could Hiruzen handle it alone?

Hiruzen smiled and waved his hand, “Don’t worry. Besides, most of the jōnin in the village aren’t here right now, so I’ll go with you.”
