Chapter 168: Arrival of the Thunder God

"I left the Flying Thunder God mark on you," Minato said, looking at Wu Chen. "So, Wu Chen, is this the plains where we are?" 

"Where did you find such a suitable place for battle?" Wondering, Minato saw the architectural debris of skyscrapers in the distance, and he couldn't help but be stunned. "Is this... New York?!" 

Wu Chen nodded, affirming, "Yes, Master Minato, this is indeed New York. But..." Wu Chen briefly explained what Pain had done and apologized to Kushina Uzumaki for her 'first' appearance. 

"Kushina, I'm sorry I couldn't host you properly." Kushina shook her head quickly. "It's okay, it's just that this place..." Looking around, Kushina gradually became angry. "Right now, I really want to punch someone! Specifically, I want to punch that hedgehog guy over there!" 

Minato quickly hugged Kushina, comforting her. "Don't be impulsive; we're short-handed right now." As he said this, he couldn't help but glance at Tony. "What's wrong with that? I can take on two myself!" Kushina insisted bravely. 

Unexpectedly, Tony felt offended. Four members on the side of the Akatsuki, four on his side... How could they be short-handed? Hey! Didn't expect you, with your blonde hair and thick eyebrows, to mock me, Iron Man, like this?! But fortunately, Tony was self-aware. He knew that Minato's words weren't a jab but a fact. His Iron Man suit might be powerful against ordinary people, but faced with cunning ninja warriors, Tony couldn't help but recall when Pain lifted him like a hammer. Indeed, they were slightly short-handed!

Tony's sense of competitiveness was ignited. He decided that after this, he must study a new Iron Man suit thoroughly! Next time, he would maximize his combat effectiveness!

The arrival of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki reignited the hope of Nick Fury and the other survivors. "The golden light is here! And there's someone next to him, with formidable combat power!" "Come on, superheroes, defeat those despicable villains!"

Although Tony himself was self-aware, his fans felt that Tony could rival a member of the Akatsuki. Of course, if there were attribute restraints, Tony could still manage to hold his own against a member of the Akatsuki. 

As the two sides faced off, Pain looked at Wu Chen and suddenly said, "Actually, you don't need to be so vigilant. As long as you hand over Wu Chen or Minato Namikaze, either one, we'll leave." 

"Divide and conquer?" Tony immediately realized. "You wish! We won't hand anyone over!" Nick Fury also cursed angrily, "Damn it!" A string of foul language burst out! 

Infected by Nick Fury's outburst, the survivors were also stirred up. According to the setting, the members of the Akatsuki were not of good temperament. Seeing this scene, they immediately prepared to teach these remaining survivors a lesson. Wu Chen and the others were ready to rush forward to stop the members of the Akatsuki.

The battle was about to begin!

But just at that moment, a massive vortex cloud suddenly appeared in the sky! Roaring thunder accompanied it, followed by a rainbow-colored beam shooting out from the vortex, directly hitting the ground and leaving a clear magic circle imprint. 

Crackling thunder appeared, and accompanying it was a man holding a hammer—Thor! 

Standing between the two groups of people, Thor looked around, then ran directly to Minato Namikaze's side. Familiarly, he patted Minato's shoulder. "Brave warrior of the Wind, we meet again!"

Seeing another superhero who could command thunder, Nick Fury and the survivors were excited. "Our combat power just got a boost! Superheroes, beat them to a pulp!" "Looks like the handling of the hammer incident from a few days ago paid off," Nick Fury muttered softly. Seeing this scene, Pain narrowed his eyes slightly.
