Chapter 241 Stalemate
Boom!
Gamabunta fell from the sky and landed next to Minato Namikaze at the edge of the battlefield.
"Minato boy, what are you going to do next?"
Gamabunta asked.
When he said this, his eyes were fixed on Lao Zi in the distance. It was obvious that he was a little afraid of Lao Zi at the moment, and his tone was unusually serious.
Minato thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "The ability of the Four-Tails is Lava Release. If we fight head-on, it won't be easy for me to get close to him, so."
"so."
Gamabunta turned around and looked at Minato Namikaze.
Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat and I inexplicably had a bad feeling, as if some huge trouble was about to befall me.
Sure enough, Minato Namikaze's next words confirmed his guess.
He then said, "So it's up to Toad Boss to attract the other party's attention, and then I'll find an opportunity to strike."
"No! Absolutely not!"
When Gamabunta heard Minato Namikaze's proposal, he shook his head like a rattle and would never agree.
"One hundred pounds."
Namikaze Minato raised a finger and said with a smile.
"What?"
Toad text is too unclear.
Namikaze Minato explained: "One hundred kilograms of top-quality tobacco leaves from the Land of Birds."
"Mumble~"
Toad Wentai swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty: "This mission is a bit..."
"Two hundred pounds."
Namikaze Minato raised a finger again.
"no."
Before Gamabunta could finish his words, Namikaze Minato raised his third finger and said, "Three hundred pounds, no more."
"Okay, then 300 kilograms."
Hearing this, Gamabunta changed his conflicted look and his tone became righteous.
Then he said, "Tobacco and the like are not important. We have signed a contract and should help each other. Since you have something to ask for, I will not stand idly by. Minato, you will see what happens next."
As he said that, Gamabunta drew out the short knife from his waist, exerted force with his legs, jumped up, and pounced straight towards Lao Zi, whose two tails had already appeared in the distance.
Seeing how motivated he was, Namikaze Minato chuckled and shook his head, then used the 'Flash Body Technique' and followed him quietly.
Obviously, the bargaining between the two was mostly joking.
······at the same time.
Edge of the battlefield.
Qing Ming only heard Toad Wen Tai yelling, "Hey! Take my 'Toad Short Knife Slash'!"
Then, he swung the dagger in his hand, fell from the sky, and slashed towards Lao Zi.
Uh, it's not quite accurate to call it a dagger.
Because this "short" is relative to the huge body of Gamabunta. For normal humans like Qingming or Lao Zi, it is a giant blade more than three meters long.
Looking at the giant blade coming towards him, a hint of cruelty flashed across Lao Zi's already beastly eyes.
He did not retreat or dodge, but instead he suddenly raised his hands, as if to catch a blade with his bare hands, and actually blocked Gamabunta's attack.
A huge force was transmitted from the dagger, and with a loud "bang", the ground under Lao Zi's feet instantly exploded, and the whole person from the waist down sank into the ground.
Even with the protection of the Tailed Beast Coat, Lao Zi still let out a painful roar, and then he swung the tail behind him and lashed straight at Gamabunta.
The whistling wind sounded, and Gamabunta, sensing the threat from the two tails, did not choose to resist. He pulled out his short sword with great force, and immediately jumped backwards.
Pah~Pah~The two tails missed the target one after another and hit the ground, leaving two cracks, and the earth shook.
Seeing the enemy dodge, Lao Zi raised his hands without any hesitation and aimed at Gamabunta in mid-air.
Seeing this familiar scene, Qing Ming knew that the other party was going to use the same trick he had used against him before.
Sure enough, the dark red chakra on the surface of his hands instantly extended and condensed into two 'tailed beast claws', which grabbed Gamabunta directly.
At this time, Gamabunta was in mid-air, with nowhere to gain support, and his situation was extremely dangerous.
However, Gamabunta was experienced in combat and he thought of a solution immediately. He quickly formed seals with his hands and performed the ninjutsu - Water Style: Teppanyaki!
He spat out two water balls, which accurately hit the two 'tailed beast claws', cleverly deflecting their extension direction.
Gamabunta rubbed the two 'tailed beast claws' and landed safely on the ground.
Then, he took off with a short jump and avoided the two 'tailed beast claws' that were trying to grab him.
Seeing this, Lao Zi was unwilling to give up and continued to chase.
But at this moment, a feeling of extreme danger came over me.
Almost instinctively, Lao Zi controlled the tail behind him to protect his back.
Swish~ A kunai wrapped in wind-style chakra tore Lao Zi's tail and stabbed his back, but was blocked by the tailed beast coat on his body.
Feeling a slight chill coming from behind him, Lao Zi felt a little scared.
If he had not reacted in time and blocked it with his tail, Minato Namikaze's kunai would have definitely torn his tailed beast coat.
By then, even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured.
That's right, the one who delivered this attack was Minato Namikaze.
Just now, he seized the opportunity and took decisive action, using the sharp nature of wind-style chakra to kill Lao Zi with one blow.
Unfortunately, Lao Zi or the Four-Tailed Fox's crisis instinct was too sharp, and he actually blocked his attack at the critical moment.
This caused him to fail.
With a sigh of regret, Namikaze Minato activated the "Flying Thunder God Technique" and disappeared on the spot.
Pah~The tail hit the ground.
Seeing Minato Namikaze disappear, Lao Zi became even more irritated.
He opened his mouth and spit out magma balls one after another, which hit Gamabunta.
Obviously, he was using Gamabunta as an object to vent his anger.
Not only that, for his own safety, he also used the 'Molten Chakra Mode', once again condensing a layer of lava armor on his body surface.
However, unlike the previous simple humanoid armor, this time the lava armor also includes a tail part.
Moreover, this part is much larger than his body, and it looks like it is dragging two lava rivers behind him, which is very powerful.
It has to be said that compared to the Five-Tails' 'Boiling Release', the Four-Tails' 'Melting Release' is obviously more difficult to deal with.
An agile fighter like Minato Namikaze can easily toy with the Five-Tails Jinchuriki Han by maintaining the rhythm, thus forcing him to retreat.
But it doesn't work against Lao Zi. With his lava armor, it's impossible to play with him, let alone get close to him.
A few days ago, on the front battlefield, because there were too many ninjas on his side, Lao Zi did not use this trick, and Namikaze Minato could easily restrain them.
Now, without any scruples, the difficulty has increased exponentially.
"Luckily I have Bunta to help me, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome!"
In secret, Minato Namikaze muttered to himself as he watched Gamabunta preparing to perform water-style ninjutsu against Lao Zi.
