"It's just a yellow flash!" Takenouchi Rin exclaimed. Just now, there was only a flash of yellow light in her eyes, and she couldn't see Minato's figure clearly.
With her exclamation, everyone gradually gathered their attention and saw two figures in the field. Minato had tied up Uchiha Yoruki in front of him with a ninja string, but he immediately began to untie the rope string around his left hand with his right hand.
The madness in Uchiha Yoruki's eyes did not disappear after a brief moment of shock. The moment Minato untied the rope, the binding force on the former naturally disappeared. Uchiha Yoruki swung his fist at Minato, but the latter was completely defenseless and didn't care.
When he was less than ten centimeters away from Minato's face, a force that Uchiha Yoruki couldn't resist stopped his swung arm abruptly. Sakumo had intervened.
Minato's eyes flashed with surprise. With his current speed, he couldn't see through any movements of the man in front of him. "Why don't you dodge? Do you want to get hurt?" After restraining Uchiha Yoruki casually, Hatake Sakumo turned his head and looked at Minato and asked.
Hearing this, Minato smiled lightly and said, "The battle ended the moment I broke the chakra mark. The examiner will not watch a meaningless dispute."
Although he couldn't see Sakumo's movements, Minato knew when he restrained Uchiha Yoruki that he would attack him out of anger after he untied the restraints, and naturally knew that Hatake Sakumo would stop him.
"You are smart." Sakumo also laughed and then said to Uchiha Yoruki, "The fight is over. Private fighting is prohibited here." Uchiha Yoruki's eyes were filled with resentment, but his strength was not at the same level as Sakumo's, and there was no way he could break free.
"You two went too far. The jutsus you used just now could have killed the opponent, you know that?" Hatake Sakumo's expression suddenly became serious. Whether it was Minato's combined ninjutsu or Uchiha Yoruki's shurikenjutsu, they were moves that could have killed the opponent if the opponent was careless or unable to defend themselves.
"I'm really sorry, I was too eager to win." Upon hearing this, Minato apologized immediately. There was no sharpness in his eyes during the battle, only a slightly awkward smile.
He said this to Sakumo and to his previous opponent, Uchiha Yoruki. Yoruki was stunned, and his reasoning gradually returned. He knew that he shouldn't have used that move just now.
After all, a year ago, he almost hurt his classmates because of his improper use of ninjutsu. If Namikaze Minato couldn't block the jutsu just now, he would have been stabbed into a hedgehog by the shuriken.
He just wanted to win this battle, and he had no intention of taking the opponent's life. However, after losing the fight and facing Minato who had just defeated him, he naturally couldn't bring himself to apologize.
Sakumo also noticed the recovery of his expression and loosened his grip on Yoruki. At this time, Kushina, Mikoto, and others also jumped down from the second floor and crowded towards Minato.
Hearing the footsteps of the crowd, Minato turned around immediately.
Before he could say the greeting he was about to say, a figure had already rushed into his arms. Kushina directly embraced Minato, and the people who followed stopped behind her.
Minato was stunned and a little at a loss for a moment.
Beside him, a slightly trembling voice sounded: "I was really worried about you just now." Hearing her words, Minato's body trembled as if he had been electrocuted, and then the expression in his eyes became extremely gentle. "I'm sorry, I made you worry."
Minato felt that Kushina, who was holding him, also trembled slightly at this time. He was a little at a loss, but the latter let go of him quickly. He noticed that Kushina's face had turned extremely red. "Kushina, what happened to you?"
Minato showed a somewhat bewildered expression, but Kushina had already turned around and hid behind Mikoto. At a loss, he looked at Mikoto, who smiled faintly and asked, "Are you okay?"
Minato was about to answer Mikoto, but his body suddenly became weak. Just as he was about to fall, Nawaki and Sarutobi Ao reached out on both sides and supported him. "Thank you, seniors." Minato chuckled. Sure enough, performing two ninjutsu and the flash technique was a bit too much.
"Amazing performance." Nawaki's words were obviously full of amazement. Although he had expected it, he had never imagined that Minato would become so strong in just a year. If it were him, he would probably be helpless against Minato's speed.
"It's really amazing, Minato, you are really strong." This was the first time Sarutobi Ao communicated with Minato, and his tone was full of admiration.
Minato smiled. The so-called instant flash was the reward for his year of basic training. After he got used to long-term high-speed movement, he began to try to continuously use the Body Flicker Jutsu to increase his speed again.
The name was given to him by Jiraiya after he saw him. He also thought of several names, but after telling his teacher, they were all immediately rejected.
Next, Akasaka Yu, Miyazaki, and others also came to ask about Minato's situation. In a few short days, they had become very good friends.
Compared with Minato, who was surrounded by everyone, Uchiha Yoruki stood alone, but he was in no mood to care about these things at this time.
"What have I done in this year?" Uchiha Yoruki clenched his fists tightly. He originally thought that he could definitely defeat Minato with his current strength. However, in today's battle, he found that he was not as fast as Minato a year ago, and he was even further behind now.
Even his best fire release ninjutsu was completely suppressed. Not only did he fail to defeat Minato, but he was left further and further behind by him.
With various emotions, everyone's battle came to an end. The candidates for the ten people who passed the Ninjutsu Trial were also determined. "Okay, you can leave now," Hatake Sakumo said to the people in front of him, and then most of them showed a look of relief on their faces.
Of course, some of the losers looked sad, but they were all relieved. These three days of trial had almost reached their physical strength and energy limits.
However, before leaving, Hatake Sakumo gave everyone a warning. "You can't reveal the information of the qualified people in this ninjutsu trial to anyone. Remember, this is not a request, but an order."
