The mysterious Kamui forced Minato to be cautious; he had almost fallen for it just now. This Flying Thunder God was truly a struggle. Minato, in a sorry state, teleported to the house he had just blown up.
My attack pierced through him, but he could also materialize and even intended to absorb me. It seems to be lethal... What kind of ninjutsu is that? He had never heard of it!
Before Minato could recover, the air in front of him twisted and distorted. A figure suddenly emerged from a single point, and Obito attacked.
Looking at the single red Sharingan revealed by the mysterious masked man, it was from the Uchiha clan.
Yet he was able to evade all of the Third Hokage's direct Anbu... He could pass through the highest-level secret barrier without being detected by him, so he must know the barrier password... He also knew that the seal would weaken when the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki gave birth... More importantly, he could unseal and tame it. As far as he knew, there was only one person who could do that...
A figure appeared in Minato's mind: the one who controlled the Nine-Tails under the moonlight, battling a giant wooden golem...
"Are you Uchiha Madara?"
Upon hearing this, Obito silently took off his hood. Although the statement wasn't wrong, he was still disappointed... Minato, his sensei, ultimately failed to recognize him.
Before Obito could deny it, Minato himself spoke first, refuting the guess. Madara was already dead.
"Who knows? That might not be true."
"Then why are you attacking Konoha?"
Hearing this, Obito looked up at the moon... How beautiful. When it illuminates the Eye of the Moon, it will be even more beautiful.
"If you force me to say it, this is a whim of mine, and also something I planned long ago. It's for war, and it's also for peace."
Obito silently slid a super-long handcuff from his robe. This was the equipment he brought, to shackle his hands and drag the chains behind him for attack, a perfect match for Kamui.
Minato pulled out a Flying Thunder God Kunai. He had to take this seriously.
No matter what, he is not a minor character. He possesses the ability to control the Nine-Tails, and space-time ninjutsu superior to mine and the Second Hokage's, appearing and disappearing unpredictably... Moreover, he harbors such dangerous thoughts. If I don't resolve this here, things will become even worse than the Nine-Tails. If I teleport to the village, this mysterious masked man will follow, which will only make the battlefield more chaotic.
In his mind, even Madara couldn't control the Nine-Tails for long, so for matters in the village, he could only trust the Third Hokage. He had to completely deal with the masked man here.
Obito had also put on his handcuffs, with two chains dangling on the ground like Silas's. Minato's Chakra regulation was also complete, and the two quickly rushed towards each other. Minato thrust his kunai, tentatively attacking Obito's abdomen. Completely as expected, his attack passed through Obito's body, and even his entire person went through with it, a very strange sight.
When Minato's entire body passed through Obito's, Obito's long handcuffs came into play. With a pull of his hands, he firmly restrained Minato. But before Obito could turn around, Minato disappeared with a Flying Thunder God, reappearing near a Flying Thunder God Kunai not far away.
Here, due to the previous explosion, many Flying Thunder God Kunai were embedded, making it his home ground.
But before Minato could recover, a silver light flashed before his eyes, rapidly approaching him. Minato's pupils contracted, and in a moment of urgency, he leaned back, dodging the inexplicable attack. The silver light grazed his nose as it flew past, and only then did Minato realize it was an arrow, its arrowhead shimmering with an unnatural silver glow.
Unnatural... Very unnatural...
But before Minato could figure out what that thing was, a figure as swift as lightning rushed over, and a long spear whipped towards Minato's body.
The Reincarnation Team officially launched their attack.
Seeing this, Minato disregarded the Chakra draining from his body and quickly used Flying Thunder God to leave again. The long spear struck the ground, raising a cloud of thick smoke.
Minato finally managed to deduce part of Kamui's abilities through two probes. He had already inferred that Obito's body would materialize at the moment of attack, but before he could think of a countermeasure, his thoughts were interrupted by the sudden attack.
Comrades?! How troublesome!
The one holding the long spear was the leader of the Reincarnation Team. She now rested the spear on her shoulder, wearing a somewhat revealing but very beautiful crimson battle armor. The entire spear was blue, emitting a faint cold light under the moonlight.
Minato's expression was grave, while Obito, on the other hand, looked a bit silly.
No, who are these people? Those strange people I saw outside the village a few days ago... Are they really here for Konoha?
That arrow... There must be another one hidden in the forest. Upon closer sensing, there's another unknown thing nearby that doesn't feel like Chakra... Behind him!!
Minato used Flying Thunder God to jump again. The next second, the spot where he had just stood exploded, and the powerful shockwave and explosion echoed through the sky.
"Tsk, quick reaction."
A man who looked very balanced suddenly appeared where Minato had been, with a look of displeasure.
Explosion... Is it an explosive tag? No, there's no Chakra fluctuation from an explosive tag. It should be Fire Release, and that person's ninjutsu level is very high, I can't sense much Chakra fluctuation... This is difficult...
He glanced at Obito in the distance and saw him staring at him, seemingly ready to make a move, and a chill ran down his spine.
Whether it's just the masked man or those helpers, he's confident he can deal with them. But once they team up... Not to mention there's someone shooting arrows from the forest...
With his rich combat experience, even in his anxiety, Minato had to probe first. He pulled out several Flying Thunder God Kunai from his pouch, scattering them like a celestial maiden scattering flowers towards his enemies, and then took out several flashbangs from his ninja tool pouch.
When the Reincarnators saw Minato shoot the kunai, the leader and another person quickly retreated, trying to get out of the Flying Thunder God's range, but unfortunately, they failed.
Minato's thrown kunai were extremely fast, reaching the leader's face in the blink of an eye. He squeezed a flashbang in his hand, and a burst of light erupted, so dazzling in the darkness that the leader's eyes involuntarily narrowed slightly.
As a ninja specialized in anti-personnel combat, Minato had no way to deal with the Nine-Tails, but against a humanoid enemy, he had plenty of methods!
Death was imminent. The leader gripped the long spear in her hand and swept it horizontally with unparalleled force, striking Minato squarely. Though she had no vision, she heard a faint, almost imperceptible explosion, and felt almost no solid impact, not like a miss, but like...
It disappeared the instant it was hit.
Shadow Clone! When did he do that!!
"Gain! Over there!"
The leader, sensing something was wrong, immediately turned and shouted at her teammate. But just as she turned, before she could even finish her sentence, she saw a Minato already appearing next to that teammate. That Minato was holding a huge Rasengan in his hand. An arrow shot from the forest, heading straight for Minato at extreme speed, intending to intercept him.
Gain was the Reincarnator who had unsuccessfully ambushed Minato with an explosion. As soon as he heard his leader's voice, years of tacit agreement (tacit understanding) made him quickly crouch down, and a shield began to form around him, attempting to protect himself.
Unfortunately, it was too slow. In front of the Yellow Flash, whether it was the formation of that shield or that arrow, it was ultimately... too slow!
This is, Rasengan Flash Super Round Dance Howl Second Style!
A Rasengan was pressed directly onto Gain's head, but he narrowly dodged it, only hitting his back. The Rasengan created a huge spiral wound on Gain's back, and the formation of his shield was also interrupted.
He was still thinking of leaving a Flying Thunder God seal, but he watched helplessly as the arrow got closer and closer. Not knowing what was abnormal about that arrow, he had to dodge, so he quickly disappeared with another Flying Thunder God. Gain fell to the ground, howling, but thankfully he didn't die... And as Minato disappeared, the arrow stuck into the tree. The next moment, the tree began to wither, turn yellow, and gradually die.
How bizarre?!
A drop of sweat trickled down Minato's forehead. He was lucky he ran fast... He absolutely couldn't be hit by that arrow!
Seeing her teammate so heavily injured, the leader quickly jumped to Gain's side, but her eyes never left Minato for a moment, keeping a tight watch on him.
Obito, on the side, just watched silently, enjoying the show, watching these unidentifiable people fight endlessly with Minato... Although he didn't understand their grievances, he didn't care either. It was just... he inexplicably found this group of people annoying.
Listening to the Nine-Tails' deafening roar in the distance, Minato understood that he couldn't delay any longer... But he couldn't return to the village, which meant no support. If these people joined the battle, it would cause consequences even more severe than the Nine-Tails... A voice inexplicably appeared in his mind, telling him that the mysterious masked man could be put aside for now, but these people must be dealt with!
Thus, Minato began his duel with the Reincarnators.
