After saying this, the Hyuga ninja charged in a certain direction, followed closely by Kushina and Minato.
"I can feel Haori's chakra!"
A while later, after running a long distance, Kushina suddenly announced.
She could sense that very active chakra. Regardless of Haori's current state, it at least meant he wasn't dead, right?
At this point, they didn't need the Hyuga to lead the way anymore. Kushina and Minato could speed up even further, instantly leaving the Hyuga behind.
Then, the two quickly found Shiraishi Haori.
Sure enough, he was still fighting.
And he was fighting a one-on-many battle, so he didn't look good. In terms of clothes, well… basically, Haori was in the same state as Goku's clothes after he finished fighting a boss.
Quite tattered.
Well, very tattered.
At a rough glance, Minato and Kushina thought that there were nine chakra beasts attacking Haori, but upon closer inspection, they realized it wasn't the case.
The beasts were divided into two groups. The situation was that Haori was commanding three beasts to attack the other six.
While he looked quite miserable, his positioning and appearance were still quite impressive.
Haori's bloodstains had dried up, and although he was at a disadvantage in the fight, he remained resolute. His messy, shoulder-length hair danced in the wind, and he could still occasionally unleash a Fire Release jutsu.
….None of the above descriptions are the point. The point is that he was currently standing on the head of a giant, strange bird. This bird had a large yellow beak, and the rest of its body was dark blue. The key was that it had one leg on its belly but two legs on its back….
The bird was almost hovering in mid-air. It wasn't flying very high, and it occasionally flapped its wings. Directly below it were the eight beasts.
When the beasts tried to leap up and attack the airborne target, Haori would command the bird to rise higher. When the beasts turned their attention to the enemies on the ground, he would command the bird to descend quickly and close the distance, then unleash a Fire Release jutsu or something.
Outnumbered, Haori wasn't in a hurry. His chakra firmly adhered to the head of the eight-legged crow, and he only attacked when he had the chance. He wasn't going for a quick victory.
He couldn't achieve a quick victory for now.
"These beasts aren't ordinary."
Looking at the scene, Minato said in a low voice. Regardless of their chakra content and control level, their size and strength alone were comparable to Gamabunta.
Minato instantly judged that Haori's advantage in this battle was probably that the beasts were just beasts. They possessed the basic strength of high-level summoning beasts, but they didn't have the intelligence of high-level summoning beasts.
Generally, the strength and intelligence of summoning beasts are proportional. The stronger they are, the more intelligent they are. Of course, there are also cases where they are very intelligent but ordinary in strength. But the kind of creature Haori was facing now, one with strength but no intelligence, was very rare.
Minato was still seriously analyzing the situation, but Kushina was already laughing.
Not laughing at Minato, but at her bizarre student.
Their points of focus were completely different.
She had been worried about Haori for days, but what was he doing? She saw it immediately.
After arriving in this strange place, regaining consciousness, and being able to move freely, what did Haori do? He didn't consider how to quickly leave this place and return to the Leaf Village, nor did he consider finding her. And in this place where his safety wasn't even guaranteed, what was he doing?
He was busy capturing summoning beasts.
There was a world war going on outside, and every village was using all their strength to beat the enemy into a pulp. You, on the other hand, are hiding here trying to get yourself a bicycle.
What are you doing? Can't you be serious during a world war?
Yes, Kushina wasn't wrong at all. Haori was happily busy capturing summoning beasts.
At this moment, Kushina was tempted to beat Haori up.
However, Kushina also guessed wrong. This was indeed a misunderstanding on her part. After all, it wasn't Haori who actively sought out these monsters. He was on the defensive side. While Haori liked to cause trouble and was good at being reckless, he didn't like to be reckless.
At first, his injuries and blood loss made him slow to react. But after being chased by the Splitting Dogs for a while, he suddenly realized that these chakra-infused creatures were perfect for summoning beasts, weren't they?
Once a thought like this occurred to someone like Haori, he couldn't stop… So, he began to change his escape strategy, fully utilizing his initiative, turning passive into active. And he didn't hold back at all. He started a series of tricks, scams, and beatings on the beasts whose instincts far exceeded their intelligence…
While he had already succeeded for the most part, managing to capture three of them, he wasn't in good shape himself. Since the battle that night, he had been fighting the beasts non-stop, except for the time he fainted. He was at his limit now.
If it weren't for the good position he had chosen to trap the beasts, he would only have three options: first, honestly turn from Shiraishi Haori into Haori on a Plate; second, risk injuring himself further by using lightning chakra. But what he wanted was to capture them alive, not blast them away with a single shot; third, run away and try Reverse Summoning again. But who knows where he would end up then?
Fortunately, Kushina and Minato arrived. They were his help.
The moment the two appeared, they were on high alert and immediately noticed each other. So, without hesitation or courtesy, Haori immediately shouted, "Kushina-sensei, don't just watch. Help me!"
Kushina covered her eyes with her hand. What kind of expression should she use to face the world? It's better not to see it, right?
"Minato, help him."
Minato was also speechless, but he still nodded. After all, he could see that Haori was struggling, so he acted decisively.
When Haori saw Minato coming, he was immediately relieved. But he then went on to remind him, "Minato-sensei, be careful. These six dogs are actually one dog. If it receives a certain amount of damage, it will split. Although it won't split anymore after splitting into six, I'm not sure if it can split again."
You think he was reminding Minato for his own safety? Wrong.
"Also, Minato-sensei, I really like this dog. Don't accidentally kill it completely…"
"And also, try to drive them together. I think since it can split, it can definitely fuse back together."
How annoying…
The Splitting Dog itself has the ability to split. But after splitting into six, it won't split again on its own. Severe damage will only kill it. But if it were to be amplified by the Rinnegan and receive unlimited chakra support, this dog could split infinitely…
Of course, these are all ideal conditions. Haori couldn't possibly have the Rinnegan, and even if someone with the Rinnegan got the Splitting Dog, they wouldn't have unlimited chakra…
