After the fight that couldn't be considered a fight, although their bodies didn't collide, Minato's face had already changed drastically.
Entering the Sage Mode in seconds!
Just this alone was enough for him to clearly understand the change in Kushina's strength!
During this period of time, he had already tried his best to increase the speed of entering Sage Mode. After all, he understood that the battlefield was not a place to spar. There was simply no one who would wait for him to charge his Sage Mode. This required him to use Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) and other ninjutsu to create a favorable space for Sage Mode to store power.
Apart from that,
Minato also dedicated himself to increasing the duration of his Sage Mode, so that he could be in this kind of powerful battle mode as much as possible.
Because of this.
Only then did he understand even more clearly.
How difficult it was to achieve these two points.
However.
In front of him.
In terms of the speed of entering the Sage mode, Kushina had completely surpassed him.
Swish!
Just as Minato was deep in thought.
Kushina's whole body turned into a bolt of lightning, and with an extremely terrifying speed, she directly attacked Minato.
"Kawazu Tataki(Frog Slap)!"
With a light shout, Kushina ruthlessly slammed her palm toward Minato. This palm was similar to the Chakra Enhance Strength of the Senju Clan. The difference was that she gathered sage chakra in her palm, not simple chakra.
"..."
Minato looked at Kushina above him. He could also use some sort of move, but he clearly understood that as long as he fought with Kushina, both of them would be injured. So he immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique), and once again changed his position, appearing in another place not far away.
BOOM!!!
After Minato disappear, Kushina slapped the ground of the toad hall, sending rubble flying everywhere and creating a huge crater. Even the bricks and tiles on the ground were broken, the destructive force was very strong.
"..."
Minato felt the wave of air coming from where he was just now. Even from a distance, he could feel the terrifying impact. His expression couldn't help but change slightly.
He also knew Kawazu Tataki(Frog Slap).
However, his Kawazu Tataki(Frog Slap) was not as destructive as this.
The amount of sage chakra condensed on Kushina's palm was very terrifying.
This was something he could never do.
That was to say...
Minato suddenly realized a fact that he had to admit.
Kushina's Sage Mode was even more powerful than his!
The reason why he was not injured was because of Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique). Of course, this did not mean that he had no ability to fight back. It was just that he did not want to use too powerful a technique on Kushina.
"Minato, if you use the Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) not to attack, but just to escape, it will be very difficult for us to determine the winner!"
Kushina stood up again, her red hair still fluttering in against gravity, and she looked very confident.
Now she could chase after Minato and fight.
Although she knew that Minato had been showing mercy, this feeling still made her feel a sense of accomplishment, which was something she did not dare to imagine before coming to Mount Myoboku.
"I give up!"
Minato directly opened his hands and admitted defeat openly. There was a smile on his face, and he did not have any bad feelings because of failure.
On the contrary.
He looked at Kushina with eyes full of love,
Regarding the matter of Kushina becoming stronger, he was even happier than Kushina herself.
"?????"
Almost all the people present, including Kushina, had a big question mark in their heads.
What the hell?
It ended before it even started?
All of a sudden.
Everyone's eyes were filled with doubt.
Especially Sage Fukasaku, who was the most intense.
"Minato!"
"How can you admit defeat?"
"By relying on Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique), you can be invincible!"
"Moreover, you haven't used that move yet!"
"Isn't it too hasty for you to admit defeat like this?"
Sage Fukasaku shouted out in dissatisfaction. The outcome of the battle between Minato and Kushina involves the bet between him and Sage Shima. Even if he knew that he might lose in the end, he still wanted to be convinced of his loss and not admit defeat in such a way. This made him a little unable to accept it.
"Hmph, do you think that Kushina has used all her moves? She has a big trump card that she hasn't used yet. No matter what, it is impossible for Minato to win!" Sage Shima immediately snorted.
"Minato, you..." The expression on Kushina's face became complicated. She didn't really want to win against Minato. She wanted to show her training results in front of Minato, but she didn't expect that Minato would just admit defeat like this.
"I have my reasons."
Minato said lightly. As he spoke, he had already canceled the Sage Mode on his body and returned to his normal state. The only thing that remained was the bright smile on his face.
Immediately after.
Minato's gaze swept across the crowd and landed on Sage Fukasaku.
"Sage Fukasaku."
"I can indeed dodge through Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) frequently."
"But this is too exhausting for me."
"After a few more times..."
"My physical strength is going to be exhausted!"
"At that time, I will still lose!"
Minato explained seriously. His words seemed to be the same, but no matter who listened, they felt that something was wrong.
"But..." Sage Fukasaku frowned and said unwillingly, "You still have one more move..."
"That move is used to deal with the enemy, how can it be used to deal with Kushina!" Minato shook his head without hesitation.
As soon as this was said.
Kushina's heart suddenly felt warm.
Her eyes softened when she gaze at Minato.
This was the Minato she was familiar with.
His heart was as thin as hair and as gentle as water. He was very concerned about her and almost everything he did was to satisfy her needs.
"I understand." Sage Fukasaku nodded and accepted Minato's explanation.
After Minato explained to Sage Fukasaku, he turned to look at Kushina. At this time, she was still in her Sage Mode.
"Kushina, seeing that you have become so powerful, I'm so happy!"
Minato said from the bottom of his heart. Even he couldn't tell how he felt. When he saw that Kushina entered the Sage Mode in seconds, he was even happier as if he was the one who had done it.
