Minato is under a lot of pressure at the present moment… A mysterious masked man of unknown depth, and his three accomplices, all possess rather strange abilities.
That woman with the long spear, more than a ninja, seemed like a samurai from the Land of Iron… But why wasn't she carrying a sword? Such a long weapon is really difficult to deal with.
The ninja who used Fire Release was crippled by him, but should still be able to get back up, and there was another one shooting cold arrows from the forest…
At the present, he didn't have much time to think. That woman charged over again with her long spear. Looking at her stance, she was really not easy to deal with.
Obito calmly stood to the side, watching the group fight Minato. He understood that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity… But he was inexplicably annoyed, wishing that group of people would just die at Minato's hands… However, it was still better to make a move.
Obito decided to join the attack. Watching the captain charge at Minato with her long spear, he followed suit, reaching out his hand towards Minato.
Facing a pincer attack, Minato leaped high into the air just as the two charged forward, simultaneously dodging the captain's spear thrust and Obito's attack. Then, he spun in mid-air, throwing a Flying Thunder God Kunai towards the captain.
Obito can phase through objects, so this move definitely wouldn't work on him, but it might not be the same for this woman.
Neither of them could Quick Braking. Obito passed directly through the captain, just as he would pass through Minato, but the captain seemed to have anticipated it. The moment Minato jumped, she flicked her long spear, changing her straight thrust into an upward strike, blocking Minato's Kunai attack. Then, using Minato's force, she forcibly Quick Braking, retreating at the cost of losing her balance, and returned to Gain's side.
Gain, who was lying on the ground groaning like a corpse, also stood up at this moment, grimacing as he touched the searing wound on his back. A white orb inexplicably appeared in his hand and he threw it towards Minato.
Seeing this, Minato naturally couldn't worry about anything else. He used Flying Thunder God in mid-air, disappearing from his original spot, and reappearing next to a Flying Thunder God Kunai on a tree.
But just as he had stabilized himself, seven or eight arrows suddenly shot out from the forest, flying outwards, directly targeting the vicinity of the Flying Thunder God Kunai, covering most of the Flying Thunder God Kunai. It seemed they were predicting Minato's landing spot, and unfortunately, where Minato was at the present was one of them.
Those incredibly strange arrows and never-before-seen jutsu forced Minato to dodge. In a short moment, after clearly seeing which Flying Thunder God Kunai were being attacked, he instantly moved to a Kunai that was not targeted.
As soon as he landed, he saw a white light suddenly glow beneath his feet. Before he could think about what it was, a violent explosion erupted from below him, and Minato was directly blown away.
This explosion was timed almost perfectly. After he reacted, he only barely managed to use Flying Thunder God to transfer away a portion of the explosion's energy. That was all he could do.
Minato, who had fallen to the ground, had not yet gotten up when the captain charged at him with her long spear. The blue long spear in her hand glowed with a silver-black light, thrusting directly towards Minato, who was lying on the ground, and hitting him squarely in the chest.
But very quickly, a puff of smoke suddenly burst from Minato's body. The captain didn't even squint, looking closely… A broken wooden stake lay silently on the ground.
Substitution Jutsu… Minato, you really have a lot of surprising tricks.
Before the captain could finish her exclamation, she sensed that Minato had appeared behind her at some point. She wanted to dodge, but how could she, with her speed far inferior to Minato's, possibly escape?
Minato heavily launched a Rasengan at her back. This attack landed squarely on her back. The energy of the Rasengan violently erupted and spun behind the captain. As Minato pushed with one hand, the captain screamed and flew backward, collapsing to the ground, her life or death unknown.
Minato at the present was somewhat disheveled, his clothes partially blown apart, and he was still gasping for air. He had dodged that spear with a Substitution Jutsu, but he had taken the full force of that explosion.
He turned to look at Gain, who was making a strange gesture with his hand. Just as he threw a Kunai, countless arrows shot out from the forest behind him, heading straight for Minato.
These arrows looked somewhat illusory, emitting a faint white light under the moon. Unlike the previous arrow, they weren't as strange, but they were incredibly numerous and extremely fast, forcing him, who originally wanted to use Flying Thunder God to instantly move to Gain's side, to grit his teeth and instantly move to another Kunai, dodging these arrows.
The Kunai didn't fly to Gain's side; Gain dodged it with a sidestep, and then an explosion around him blasted the Kunai far behind him.
They're not giving him any chance… And their companion is lying on the ground, yet that man's face shows no concern or panic… Is it a bad relationship within the team, or…
Minato was still thinking of a way to break the situation when he suddenly heard a strange roar he had never heard before from not far away, and it was rapidly approaching. Under his perception, even the Kunai that had been blown away was approaching.
Reinforcements?! No, no one in the village at the present knows I'm here, so it can't be reinforcements.
No, this is reinforcements.
Fang Wuwei arrived late on his Cavalier. Upon reaching the battle site, he was prepared when he saw the red frames marking the enemy Reincarnators. He also conveniently reached out and caught Minato's Flying Thunder God Kunai flying towards him. Seeing that the distance was sufficient, he leaped high on his motorcycle, facing the moonlight, and released Quick Braking towards the Reincarnators.
Fang Wuwei, leaping high, with the gravitational potential energy combined with the speed and momentum brought by Quick Braking, delivered a direct flying kick towards the Reincarnator Gain.
Gain hadn't yet reacted to where this inexplicable roar came from, but he sensed a killing intent locking onto him. In desperation, he instantly wove the shield he had created earlier when facing Minato. Unfortunately, at this stage, Fang Wuwei, with Quick Braking activated, was about as fast as Minato. This shield… still didn't get fully deployed.
This flying kick landed squarely on Gain's back… This time, it really crippled his kidney. Having taken Fang Wuwei's flying kick, he was instantly incapacitated. A terrifying sound of bone breaking rang out, and Gain immediately spat out a large mouthful of dark blood mixed with fragments, collapsing to the ground, effectively declaring GG. Although he wasn't dead yet, he was breathing more out than in.
Fang Wuwei felt truly great after delivering that kick. He had wanted to do it for a long time, not to mention he had been driving his vehicle to the scene for two and a half chapters, practically dying of impatience. Kicking him like that really felt good.
Minato stared blankly at Fang Wuwei's arrival and that kick, wondering where this guy came from and why he hadn't seen such a strong person in the village.
No… he seemed to have seen him. Just two days ago, when he went to Ichiraku Ramen with Kushina!
Never mind… It doesn't matter, reinforcements have arrived! Although he didn't know this person's background, he should be from the village… his intuition told him so. Even if not, he would finish this fight first, properly arrange the Nine-Tails, and then settle accounts!
Fang Wuwei held Minato's Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand, and his unmanned Cavalier charged from behind, then melted into a stream of light and disappeared with a single gesture from Fang Wuwei.
The present situation is much more optimistic.
