Chapter 129 A Chat with Hanging Friends

Chapter 129 A Gathering of Hang-up Friends (Third Update)

High frequency and high efficiency!

Minato Namikaze kept flashing and disappearing before his eyes.

The frequency of this spatial transfer—after experiencing it firsthand, Yubi can only describe it as insane!

What's the difference between this and cheating?

Unable to lock onto targets, unable to hit—this renders most ninjutsu ineffective and meaningless.

Even the Second Generation Tobirama Senju couldn't achieve such continuous, high-frequency spatial movement, right?

Even if it were possible, it probably wouldn't be as fast as Minato's in terms of speed and cooling.

Although the Second Hokage was the creator of the Flying Thunder God Technique, in terms of its application alone, he was clearly inferior to Minato Namikaze.

No wonder—even the arrogant Tobirama Senju himself admitted Minato's mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique, and now—Yubi truly experienced it firsthand.

Facing Minato, all he can do now is passively defend.

Of course, even Minato couldn't do anything about it.

The two are currently locked in a battle of attrition, seeing whose chakra will give out first.

Moreover, Yubi also confirmed one thing.

"Minato hasn't fully mastered the Rasengan yet—or rather, he hasn't reached the point where he can use it skillfully." Yubi's gaze turned cold.

According to the timeline of the original work, Minato should have developed the Rasengan and been able to use it in battle during the early to mid-stages of the Third Shinobi World War.

The inspiration came from the Tailed Beast Ball.

But I've had similar thoughts for a while now—

Now that the Third Shinobi World War has just begun, Minato should already be researching techniques like the Rasengan.

Even if one has been cultivating for some time, one is still not mature or perfect.

Otherwise, it would have been used long ago.

The complete form of the Yellow Flash of Konoha consists of the multiple variations of the Flying Thunder God Technique combined with the Rasengan.

Now, without the Rasengan, Minato's firepower on the offensive end is severely insufficient.

The Flying Thunder God technique hasn't been refined to that advanced level yet.

As for Sage Mode—if Yubi remembers correctly, even Minato himself said that he wasn't good at it.

The current battle situation perfectly illustrates this point.

If the other side still had cards up their sleeve, they wouldn't have waited until now to use them.

"However—this battle is not just a fight between you and me—the mission's objective is paramount."

"All actions are for the sake of the overall strategy."

After a brief but intense battle with Minato, Yubi's eyes flashed. Once again, after the former used the Flying Thunder God Technique to evade his counterattack and teleport away.

He shot out of the air.

It lunged at the approaching dog's paw.

He kept moving, not only to hold off Minato, but also to prevent the other Konoha members from interfering in their fight and from locking onto him as their target.

Inuzuka Tsurugi had been trying to coordinate with Minato to launch an offensive.

Even when she used her four-legged technique to enter a beast-like state, she still couldn't keep up with their pace.

But this woman—unaware that she had already been dragged into the battlefield.

Blood Escape Through Blood.

Yubi pounced on Inuzuka Tsurugi in an instant, and with a raised hand, a spurt of blood shot out.

Inuzuka Tsurugi's pupils contracted; judging from her expression, she hadn't reacted at all.

At such a short distance, it is even more difficult to dodge.

Just as the crimson light was about to shatter her skull, swish—Minato appeared and vanished on the spot with the woman.

Upon seeing this, Yubi immediately realized that Minato had probably marked several of his teammates with spells.

Because of their movement, the group had now darted into the small hilltop and arrived at another corner of the land.

Shikaku and Inoichi arrived belatedly.

boom!

Then, Yubi suddenly turned around and threw the blood-stained blade in his hand like a hidden weapon.

A dark figure had already attacked from behind.

The blood-stained blade pierced the attacker's abdomen, but failed to stop the attack.

Like a sharp beast's claw, the tearing force, carrying immense physical power, shattered the crimson crystals on Yubi's body.

Yubi tried to dodge, but Minato had already closed in from the side.

"This guy—hid a mark—"

Yubi caught a glimpse of a kunai stuck in the ground not far away out of the corner of his eye.

Even if he was trying to be wary of the way the Water Gate used and designed the Flying Thunder God Technique, this kind of space ninjutsu couldn't capture every detail, making it too difficult to spy on all of his actions.

Ultimately, it's because this space-time ninjutsu, under Minato's control, is far too terrifying.

Moreover, Minato's power is not limited to his mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

There's also his on-the-spot adaptability and observation during battle.

The fact that they were able to hide a marker here indicates that Shuimen had some prediction about the course of the battle.

This kind of thinking is very rare.

Just as Yubi was about to reactivate Blood Release and cover his body with blood, a kunai pierced his heart, interrupting his actions.

A one-hit kill was achieved!

Immediately afterwards, Minato picked up Inuya, who was kneeling on the ground with a pained expression, and jumped away, pulling his paws back.

On the other side, Shikaku also cooperated with Minato to use the Shadow Imitation Technique to firmly trap Yubi, who had already been hit in a vital spot.

Yubi stood motionless, the kunai stuck in his chest.

"He not only possesses a bloodline limit, but he's also a medical ninja—"

Lu Jiu reminded him with utmost caution.

"He must have activated multiple bloodline techniques simultaneously. The fact that his blood manipulation speed has slowed down indicates—"

His chakra is also running low.

"In this state, there's no time to use medical ninjutsu for defense."

Minato, holding the pale-faced Inuzuka Tsurugi, responded with a single sentence.

Minato was quite confident in his ability to make a move.

He was certain that Yubi would die.

His attack—pierced the heart.

Even the most skilled medical ninja, unless they possess the level of Tsunade, have no chance of survival.

Moreover, recovery takes time.

Not to mention, this was under the premise that chakra was almost depleted.

"Claw—are you alright?"

Minato looked exhausted; his chakra was also greatly depleted.

For the first time, Minato felt that he was struggling to keep up with the energy and physical strength.

If it weren't for Inuzuka Tsuru's life-risking blow, Minato wouldn't even have been confident of defeating his enemy in a one-on-one situation.

Fortunately, the other party was eliminated.

but--

The enemy's blood contains a deadly poison; once hit—

Seeing his companion's condition worsening, Minato grew increasingly anxious.

He looked at Lu Jiu and the other person, "I'll leave the rest to you. I'll take her back first."

"it is good."

Shikaku nodded.

Judging from this, Inuzuka Tsurugi is very likely to die.

With that, Minato picked up his teammates and prepared to leave.

However, as soon as he took a step, his expression changed drastically, as if he sensed something, and he turned to look at the boy nearby.

Then, the blood healer, Yubi, suddenly exhaled a long, stale breath—

Then, as if nothing had happened, he smiled slightly.

Although his body couldn't move, he turned his eyes to look over. "One trick is all you need—the Flying Thunder God Technique created by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, you've really mastered it to perfection—"

"Konoha's Golden Generation—heh—"

Looking at the boy's appearance and his sudden smile, the three people present instantly felt a chill run down their spines, and goosebumps rose all over their bodies as if in response to a stress reaction.

What happened?!

Even this can't be killed?!

Without any hesitation, Minato lowered his claws and instantly lunged at Yubi.

He didn't have time to think about or delve into why the enemy hadn't died.

But his intuition told him—he had to, immediately—kill the other person!

While Shikaku is controlling the target with his secret technique, otherwise—

Something bad will happen.

"It's just cheating—everyone cheats!"

A thought flashed through Yubi's mind, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.

As he thought about it, his pupils immediately changed color.
