Chapter 15 - Chapter 15: Minato's hesitation.

Seeing Kushina being bullied and crying, Yasu's blood rushed to his brain.

He had sworn an oath to himself that he'll protect her smile!

His eyes were bloodshot, his body slightly arched, and he was gathering Lightning Release chakra.

The Genin who had initially looked down on him, his face changed drastically when he saw the lightning flashing around his body.

As a Genin, he had only learned one C-rank ninjutsu so far.

The way Yasu's body was surging with lightning clearly indicated that the ninjutsu was of a high level.

The Genin didn't dare to be careless now, he let go of Kushina's hair and quickly formed hand seals.

"Earth Release: Rock Pillar Spear!"

A sharp earth spike stabbed upwards from the ground.

But the earth spike was too slow, and there was only one, so Yasu dodged it with a step back. 

He used his left thumb to push open the tsuba, slightly drawing his katana. (Tsuba is ahandguard for Japanese swords, including katana)

"Breath of Lightning, First Form: Thunderclap and Flash!" (Ichi no kata: Hekireki Issen)

As soon as the word 'flash' fell, Yasu turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed towards the Genin.

The Genin first heard the roar of thunder, then a blue light flashed in his eyes, and finally...

The Genin spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight to the ground.

"Brother!"

The brat widened his eyes in shock, wondering how his brother suddenly lay on the ground, constantly spitting out blood.

Suddenly, the brat heard the crackling sound of thunder from behind him.

The brat stiffly turned his head to look and found that Yasu had already picked up Kushina, looking at him with cold eyes.

The brat's pupils shrank violently, and his whole body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, shivering uncontrollably. He took a few steps back and sat down on the ground.

The Genin also looked at him in disbelief.

Yasu had used the back of his blade to strike him, but his chest was now sunken, several ribs were obviously broken, and the characteristics of Lightning Release chakra made his body numb.

How could a brat who was still in the ninja school and not even a ninja master such a powerful ninjutsu?!

Kushina, in his arms, stared blankly at his face.

Yasu looked extremely terrifying in the eyes of the Genin and the brat, but in her eyes, he was very handsome.

Her heart was beating wildly, and a strange emotion was growing in her heart.

Yasu said in a low voice, "Kushina, wait for me here."

After he gently placed her on the ground, he pulled out the katana that had been sheathed again and walked menacingly towards the Genin and the brat who were spitting blood.

The Genin and the brat moved their bodies backward in terror.

"What, what do you want to do?!"

"The village stipulates that you can't attack your companions!"

Yasu's expression was extremely ferocious: "Can't attack companions? Then what were you doing just now? Don't worry, I won't kill you, I'm just going to break all your limbs!"

Just as he was about to attack, a kunai flew straight towards him.

Yasu directly waved his Katana and knocked away the kunai.

He then looked in the direction from which the kunai was shot.

Minato stood on a tree trunk and said to him: "Enough Yasu, they have already been punished."

Yasu asked with a gloomy face, "You've been watching here all along?"

Minato was stunned for a moment and didn't answer.

He had indeed been watching here all along.

He initially saw Kushina running towards here, so he followed.

Minato had a good impression of her and had always wanted to get to know her.

But he didn't expect her to be attacked by a Genin.

Although that brat had been causing trouble for Kushina in the ninja school, and she had always crushed him in a beatdown.

Minato, as a classmate, didn't help that brat at the time.

So, this time, she was retaliated against by the brat and his brother, he didn't know whether to help or not.

In the ninja school, he got along well with everyone.

He felt that he hadn't helped that brat when he was beaten by Kushina before, and now it wouldn't be good to help her.

Seeing him not speaking, Yasu mocked, "So you've really been here all along, you saw Kushina being bullied, you turned a blind eye, and now that I'm retaliating against them, you're helping them, Minato Namikaze, you're really something!"

Minato hurriedly explained, "No, that's not how it is!"

Yasu pointed to the kunai on the ground: "Not what? You've already taken out a real kunai and shot it at me, tell me, what kind of person are you then?"

Minato's heart tightened: "This kunai isn't mine, it's the one he used to attack Kushina and nailed to the tree!"

Yasu's already gloomy and ferocious face became even more furious: "Used a real kunai to shoot at Kushina?!"

He then turned the katana, the back of the blade was facing outwards just now, now the blade was facing outwards.

"I'm going to cut off all your hands and feet then!"

He exerted force on his feet and instantly leaped towards the brat and the Genin who were looking at him in terror.

Minato's scalp went numb, and he secretly thought it was bad. Yasu was really serious this time, so he immediately rushed towards him.

After Minato picked up the kunai from the ground, he took advantage of the situation to block Yasu's katana that was slashing towards the Genin's left leg.

The Genin was so scared that tears and pee came out at the same time. If Minato hadn't helped him block it, his leg would have been cut off by Yasu's blade.

Minato tried to persuade him: "Yasu! If you cut off their hands and feet, you will also be punished!"

Yasu, with angry eyes, said in a deep voice: "So what? They were the ones who shot kunai at Kushina first, so who can blame me for cutting off their hands and feet?"

"Besides, Minato, you saw them shooting kunai at her but you were indifferent, now what kind of good person are you pretending to be here?!"

"I'll say it again, if you want to continue watching, then get out of here, don't come and hinder me, if you want to help them, I'll cut you down too!""

Minato shouted in a low voice: "Yasu! Calm down! No matter what, they are companions from the same village!"

Yasu sneered: "Minato Namikaze, you are really hypocritical, they are your companions, but Kushina isn't, right? Since you want to help them, that's your own choice!"

"Thunder Breathing, Second Form: Rice Spirit!" (Ni no kata: Inadama)

In an instant, he unleashed a five-hit combo in the shape of lightning.

Minato's hair stood on end. His top-notch reaction speed allowed him to roll backward and dodge his five-hit combo.

He stood up from the ground. When Yasu used Thunderclap and Flash before, he noticed that his speed was very fast, and he could hardly capture his figure with the naked eye.

Now, when truly facing him, Minato truly realized how fast his speed was.
