Swish, swish, swish!
Several earth spikes came from the earth dragon, fired at a very fast speed. The friction with the air made a heavy sound that was somewhat tinnitus-inducing. These earth dragon bullets, formed by Earth Release chakra, had extremely heavy mass. Coupled with this speed, if they hit the human body, it is enough to break bones.
Minato's expression changed naturally because he could tell the ninjutsu performed by Nawaki from the way he made hand seals. Earth Release dragon bullet is a high-level ninjutsu of B grade, but Nawaki performed it without any pressure. It seemed that his strength had also made a qualitative leap compared to a year ago.
"Nawaki, this guy, actually used the earth dragon bullet jutsu right at the beginning," Suki said. As Nawaki's teammate, she naturally understood Nawaki's methods and subconsciously observed the expression of Kushina beside her. Kushina's eyes were calm, and she didn't seem to worry about Minato at all. That was an absolute trust, out of her understanding of Minato.
With the speed of the Earth Dragon Bullet, even if an ordinary Chunin could react, it would be impossible to dodge all of them. And as long as one hits, it is enough to severely injure the opponent.
"Instant Step!"
However, the Earth Dragon Bullet lost its target a few meters before Minato's position, and a yellow light flashed, making it impossible for everyone to catch any of his movements.
"Bang Bang!"
After less than a second, the Earth Dragon Bullet hit the ground, creating several small pits. No one on the scene could keep up with Minato's speed, not even Nawaki.
"Earth Release: Earth Flowing Wall!"
Just as Minato was about to approach Nawaki, the latter had long known Minato's terrifying speed, so after performing the Earth Dragon Bullet, he directly performed the Earth Flowing Wall Jutsu.
"Boom Boom!"
At the same time, four walls of earth rose from the ground around Nawaki, surrounding him directly in the center.
"Rustling!"
Minato stopped the instant step and forced himself to stop moving. "It's amazing that he can build four walls at the same time!" Minato exclaimed sincerely. He had heard that the Senju clan is good at earth and water release. It was not uncommon for Nawaki to master this jutsu at his age. However, building four walls at the same time showed that Nawaki's use of Earth Release ninjutsu had reached a high level.
But what made Minato even more curious was how Nawaki would attack him next. The earth wall blocked the opponent's attack but also made Nawaki unable to attack. However, Minato immediately moved away from the earth wall because of the ninjutsu mastered by Nawaki. Nawaki could use the Underworld Swamp to turn the place where he stood into a swamp.
However, unlike what Minato expected, he did not use the Underworld Swamp. Instead, Nawaki suddenly disappeared from Minato's sensor ability. After his body merged with the Nine-Tails Chakra, his sensor ability became his own instinct, not something he actively used.
Because the earth wall blocked the vision of Suki and Kushina who were watching the battle, they went around the earth wall and found that Minato was standing a few meters away from the earth wall. At this time, the ground under Minato's feet suddenly trembled.
"Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation!"
The ground broke open, and Minato was unexpectedly pulled into the ground.
Swish!
The next moment, a figure jumped up from the ground. It was Nawaki.
"You were careless, Minato."
Nawaki smiled. He knew that with Minato's speed and the speed of the Underworld Swamp, he might not be able to catch him. But the Double Suicide Decapitation is hard to guard against. He had been thinking about this tactic for quite a long time. And just when he was proud, Minato, who was stuck in the ground with only his head exposed, disappeared with a "bang."
"Shadow clone?" Nawaki was stunned for a moment.
Swish!
At this time, a light flashed in the eyes of Suki and others that watch.
"Senior Nawaki, thank you for holding back."
The kunai flashed coldly under the light of the rising moon. Minato pressed it against Nawaki's throat from behind. There was surprise in Nawaki's eyes. What he pulled into the ground with his jutsu in his mind was just a shadow clone of Minato. When the three people watching on the side saw this, they were stunned for a moment. Because the change of victory and defeat between the two sides only took a moment.
"You are really fast," Nawaki said. Minato used the shadow clone to distract him, while the real body hid behind a wall. The moment the shadow clone dissipated, Minato came behind him, a few meters away, but he was completely unable to react.
"But... you haven't won yet."
Nawaki said, and then he turned into a pile of mud in front of Minato.
"Earth clone?"
Minato whispered, and at the same time looked to find Nawaki. Even under the ground, he could sense that there was a huge amount of chakra condensing.
"Boom!"
A figure suddenly jumped out of the ground.
"What an amazing chakra."
Kushina also sensed that the chakra fluctuations by Nawaki at this time were extremely violent.
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Jutsu!"
Nawaki directly spit out a huge stream of water from his mouth, like a waterfall, and immediately swept towards Minato.
"You can actually perform such a powerful Water Release jutsu in a place without water?"
Even Minato was shocked at this moment. The Great Waterfall Jutsu is a super advanced ninjutsu among Water Release, and its grade is A. It is quite remarkable to be able to master it at this age. However, being able to perform this level of Water Release jutsu in a place without water is the most amazing thing. Even in the Mist Village, ninjas who can use the Great Waterfall Jutsu without water are probably rare.
This made Minato think of someone. The Second Hokage! The Second Hokage created the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, galloping through the ninja world at a speed no ninja can match. At the same time, he was also the most powerful ninja in the ninja world at that time if we exclude the First Hokage. And Nawaki's attainments in Water Release have shown the potential of a Water Release jutsu of the level of the Second Hokage.
Crash!
The huge amount of water, like a waterfall, roared towards Minato with a roaring sound. At this time, not only Kushina, but also Suki and the other teammate of Nawaki were shocked. They never knew that Nawaki could use such a powerful water-style ninjutsu.
Swish!
Under such a large amount of water, even Minato was forced to use his instant step to shoot backwards, but the speed of the water was extremely fast, chasing him relentlessly, as if to swallow him directly. He was forced to retreat into the dense forest of the seventh training ground, but wherever the water passed, the giant trees were directly knocked down, like a flood, raging.
