"You are the son of the Third Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village, the extremely competitive A, right?"
The almost iconic Lightning Release Chakra Mode made Minato Namikaze recognize the opponent's origin at a glance.
As the name suggests, Lightning Release Chakra Mode is a ninjutsu that wraps lightning chakra around the body and stimulates the body to become active.
It greatly increases physical strength and speed. In the Hidden Cloud Village, only the successive Raikage or the recognized next-generation successor can practice this advanced ninjutsu.
"Yellow hair, and super-fast body-flickering technique."
A also recognized Minato Namikaze, but he didn't show any fear at all. Instead, he was eager to try: "You are the Yellow Flash of Land of Fire, right?"
He clenched his fists and stretched his muscles a little, which suddenly made a thunderous sound.
Forcing a smile, he said, "I have heard that Land of Fire's Yellow Flash is very fast. Today I want to see which is faster, my Lightning Release Chakra Mode or you!"
"Kakashi, keep an eye on Obito and Rin!"
Minato Namikaze immediately realized that the next battle would be a tough one.
Boom!
A took a heavy step forward, pouring violent power under his feet.
The ground several meters around him suddenly seemed to be detonated with explosives. The hard rock layer collapsed and cracked, and fissures spread outward.
The blinding blue lightning cut through the air in an instant. Surrounded by the exploding gale, A's speed directly broke through the sound barrier.
With the power of his physical body, he created a series of sonic booms, dragging with him a suffocatingly violent momentum, as if a huge wave was surging towards him.
On the coast, endless waves of air rolled and moved, like the raging tides of the sea, each one higher and more powerful than the last!
Boom!
So fast!
Obito's Sharingan opened at some point and stared at the blue figure.
But with his current level of three tomoe, he could not keep up with the speed of the figure. He could only barely see a trace of the afterimage.
It was so fast that it was almost like Minato's Flying Thunder God Jutsu!
The surging lightning chakra around A condensed at the front end of his fist, like the sharpest blade.
"Lightning Sword!"
In an instant, the air around seemed to be pierced.
The terrifying force blasted out, causing the airflow to surge in an area dozens of meters ahead, and the dust was lifted up like a curtain!
However, Namikaze Minato was not in a hurry. He stepped lightly, and his body floated backward like a fallen leaf.
Flying Thunder God Technique!
A's punch missed its mark. His expression remained unchanged, and his eyes quickly locked onto Minato Namikaze's new position: "As expected of the Yellow Flash. His Body Flicker Technique is incredibly fast; he actually managed to dodge my attack!"
"Kakashi, protect Obito and Rin," Minato instructed.
From the brief clash, Minato realized the formidable skill of his opponent. Taking a deep breath, he said, "Leave them to me. This is not a battle you can interfere in!"
Kakashi understood that a battle of this caliber was beyond their current capabilities. However, deep inside, he felt a strong sense of frustration.
He was still too weak. If he were stronger, like his father, he wouldn't have to stand here helplessly, just watching!
But regardless of his feelings, he had to follow orders and drag Obito and Rin away.
"Planning to escape? No one escapes from Lord Killer B!" B noticed the three trying to flee and was about to pursue them when a kunai blocked his path.
Ding!
The kunai embedded itself deeply into the ground.
Minato stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Killer B and A. Holding a kunai, he calmly said, "Didn't I tell you? Your opponent is me!"
Swish, swish, swish!
Kunai were thrown in rapid succession, scattering like a shower of flower petals.
Strangely, the kunai didn't seem to be aimed directly at Killer B and A. They appeared to be thrown randomly, embedding into the ground and trees around them.
Seeing the multitude of kunai surrounding them, even A, despite his confidence, sensed something was off: "Stop him quickly!"
Activating his lightning chakra mode, explosive lightning enveloped A's body. Fully charged, he exhibited his trademark speed once more. Like a bolt of lightning, he surged forward, aiming a powerful punch directly at Minato's face.
Namikaze Minato's eyes were calm. He slightly lowered his body and gently tossed the kunai in his right hand upwards.
Swish!
A missed again.
Minato Namikaze appeared like a ghost at the kunai's landing point, his yellow hair fluttering in the breeze, and his eyes calm.
A's expression changed slightly, surprised: "You can actually dodge my extreme speed."
Before he could finish saying "speed," Minato Namikaze, who was still more than ten meters away, suddenly appeared behind him as if he had "teleported."
He caught the kunai he had just thrown into the air and aimed directly at A's vital point, stabbing forcefully.
"Brother!"
Just as the kunai was about to stab, Minato Namikaze sensed something was wrong and felt a sense of danger. Instinctively, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique and teleported again.
Boom!
As he disappeared, something as huge as an octopus tentacle pierced through the air.
Standing on a tree trunk, Namikaze Minato stared at the octopus tentacle below, covered with suction cups. His eyes narrowed slightly with a bad feeling: "The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the son of the Third Raikage... are you planning to start a war by appearing at Land of Fire's border?!"
The importance of the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki in the ninja world is comparable to that of a 'nuclear bomb.'
Now, the 'nuclear bomb' of the Hidden Cloud Village and the next Raikage candidate appeared at Land of Fire's border simultaneously, clearly indicating a major move by the Hidden Cloud Village!
"Since you've discovered me, I can't let you go back!" A, who was saved, was still in shock. If it weren't for B's rescue, he would have really died.
Though he was angry, he was also deeply afraid of the "Yellow Flash": "This guy's speed is definitely not due to an ordinary Body Flicker Technique."
Unfortunately, despite A's eagerness to fight, Namikaze Minato, realizing the situation was wrong, had no intention of continuing the battle.
The Tailed Beast Jinchuriki of the Hidden Cloud Village and the next Raikage suddenly appearing at Land of Fire's border was critical information he needed to pass back to the Hokage as soon as possible.
"Be careful, Killer B."
A glanced at the kunai around him, understood the situation, and whispered a warning: "This guy's teleportation technique can only move to places where there are kunai."
"OK~ Big Brother!" Blood-red chakra appeared around B's body, and a tail emerged, indicating he had entered Tailed Beast Mode: "Next, we just need to shorten the distance and block these kunai, then we can catch where this guy will appear!"
Namikaze Minato slowly stood up from the tree trunk, his eyes calm: "This is your last warning, leave the Land of Fire immediately or I will not show mercy again."
"Don't be so arrogant, Yellow Flash!" A said in a deep voice: "We've figured out your teleportation technique, and soon you'll have no way to escape!"
As soon as he finished speaking, A activated his Lightning Release Chakra Mode and ran at full speed.
With lightning flashing around him, a violent aura surged, and his fist pierced through the air, creating ripples.
"Fly!"
A was always alert to his surroundings. His heightened nerve reaction speed made him confident he could instantly find the location: "Where will you appear next?"
At the same time, Killer B was on all fours, his body covered in blood-red chakra, trying to predict where Minato Namikaze would appear in the next second.
"Yeah?"
Namikaze Minato sighed softly, as if expressing regret: "Though I admire you, it's a pity I also carry the hopes of many people."
Just as the tension between the two groups was about to reach its peak, and the outcome was on the brink of being decided.
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying chakra, filled with immense pressure, appeared out of nowhere. The diameter of the chakra sphere was tens of meters, and its surface was pitch black.
It was compressed to the extreme, and its terrifying density was astonishing.
"This is the Tailed Beast Ball?!"
"The Tailed Beast Ball!?"
"Wait? No, that's not right!"
Almost at the same moment, Killer B, A and Minato Namikaze all showed shocked expressions on their faces.
Such a huge Tailed Beast Ball with such high density—once it explodes, its range can cover an area of hundreds of meters in radius!
Where did this thing come from?!
However, before Minato Namikaze could react, he discovered a situation that made him furious, shocked, and angry.
The huge raging waves were like a whirlpool, carrying a force strong enough to tear steel apart, and their target was Kakashi and the other two who were hiding away from the center of the battlefield.
Now, Minato faced a very realistic problem.
Should he choose to transfer the Tailed Beast Ball or go and save Kakashi and the others?
If he transfers the Tailed Beast Ball, then Kakashi and the others will definitely be crushed by the Water Style technique; and if he saves Kakashi and the others, then once the Tailed Beast Ball explodes, they will at least be seriously injured!
