Facing the attack of nearly ten Kushinas, Sakai's originally well-organized defense measures collapsed almost instantly. His strength was not that strong among the Genin.
"Bang bang!"
But even so, he still managed to destroy two of Kushina's shadow clones with his taijutsu. Shadow clones are a ninjutsu that separates the chakra of the main body. The movements of the clones are naturally not as agile as those of the main body.
This incident also reflects the gap between ordinary Genin and ninja school students. Unable to dodge Kushina, Sakai curled up and chose to expose his back to the enemy, thereby protecting his two vital points. If it were a real life-and-death battle, his behavior would be frowned upon and would likely get him killed. However, this was not a battle but a trial. The rules were that if the chakra mark did not disappear, it would not be considered a failure.
Immediately, several of Kushina's attacks fell on him like a storm. The severe pain almost made him lose the ability to control his body. However, he endured the pain and launched another attack, but the one he destroyed was still one of Kushina's shadow clones.
He couldn't understand how a student of a ninja school could use such a high-level ninjutsu that only a Chunin or even a Jonin could use. Even if someone taught her, it was too exaggerated to create ten shadow clones at once. Even his Jonin instructor could only create five. His only chance now was to use ninjutsu to wipe out all of Kushina's shadow clones at once, but since the fight began, Kushina had never given him a chance to perform hand seals. Kushina's taijutsu had been learned from long-term sparring with Minato and Mikoto. Minato's strength was needless to say, and Mikoto was no worse than a Genin. Kushina's moves were naturally not something that Sakai, who was also a Genin, could easily dodge.
All of this was due to the sleight of hand that Minato used at the beginning of the battle, which allowed Kushina to get close to him, leaving no chance for a comeback. As for controlling the timing of the battlefield, he and his two teammates were not on the same level as the blond boy.
Was he really just a student of the ninja school?
After Minato killed a Genin in seconds, he jumped aside, not daring to relax at all. The reason why he was able to quickly eliminate one of the two Genin under siege was that the enemy underestimated his ability. Both his body speed and the speed of forming seals exceeded the enemy's expectations. And the "Shock Hand," which he thought was a useless ninjutsu, also played a role in this situation.
But he couldn't be sure that the eliminated Genin wouldn't attack him out of shame and anger. Even if his speed was faster than the two of them, it would not be easy to deal with if one person induced the attack and the other released the ninjutsu.
The boy who was killed by Minato stared at Minato, and after a few breaths, he sighed helplessly and sat down on the spot.
"Nishikawa, what are you doing?" his companion asked in confusion.
Nishikawa spread his hands and said, "I'm already a 'dead man.' The next battle is between you and Sakai, and it has nothing to do with me."
Obviously, he had already accepted the fact that he was eliminated. Although their previous contempt for Akasaka Yu and others was excessive, at least Nishikawa was a frank person.
The young man's face became even uglier when he heard this, then he looked at Sakai, who was almost forced into a desperate situation by Kushina. He was very unwilling in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. As the red-haired girl said before, they all underestimated the students of the ninja school. This is the fundamental reason for their failure!
But from another perspective, the blond boy has not done anything extra since he appeared. The reason they lost so quickly was largely because of his inadvertent use of inducement tactics.
"Hey, Musashi, don't be distracted. If this kid wanted to sneak attack you just now, you would have been eliminated."
Just when he was distracted, Nishikawa reminded him, and he focused his attention and looked at Minato, who was several meters away from him. With Minato's speed, this distance could determine the winner in an instant. Being distracted during a fight is his shortcoming as a ninja.
Minato watched all this, and his speculations gradually faded. The boy named Musashi looked at Minato in front of him, then took out a few smoke bombs from his sleeves and threw them on the ground. Everyone's vision was immediately obscured by the purple smoke. In the previous battle, he knew he was no match for Minato, so he immediately chose to escape. But Minato's speed was faster than his, and if he wanted to have a chance to leave, he had to confuse his vision.
However, this situation was also within Minato's expectations. When Musashi took out the smoke bomb, his hands had already begun to form seals quickly.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
The strong wind formed by chakra swept out from Minato's mouth, and the friction with the air formed a "whoosh" sound. The purple mist formed by the smoke bomb was swept away in an instant. Not only that, this strong wind also made Musashi, who had already rushed out, unable to control his body and pushed him forward. His speed increased, but he also lost control of his body.
Swish!
After releasing the ninjutsu, Minato followed immediately. Under the drag of the wind, his speed also increased. However, like Musashi, his body also became extremely shaky under the influence of the wind. Minato quickly surpassed Musashi's position, but he could not stop by himself. However, he had anticipated this and formed the same cross seal with his hands as Kushina.
Two shadow clones appeared beside him. The two shadow clones held their hands together and used their arms to block the force of the wind for Minato. After regaining control of his body, Minato took a step and directly performed the Body Flicker Jutsu to come in front of Musashi. Musashi wanted to use his arms to protect his forehead and chest, but a second before that, Minato's fingers had already touched his forehead. There seemed to be a faint chakra light lingering on his fingertips, which then merged into the mark on Musashi's forehead.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the chakra mark cracked, and the mark on his chest that he was protecting also disappeared. At the same time, Sakai, who had destroyed six of Kushina's shadow clones, could no longer hold on. He was hit hard in the chest by her punch, and his chakra mark shattered. He also collapsed on the ground, almost exhausted.
Akasaka Yu and several others who were watching were even more surprised that a three-person Genin team was completely eliminated by Minato and Kushina!
