"Hmm, very well, I don't want to hurt him either."
In the spiritual world, Uehara Naraku slowly nodded and softly said, "I'll leave that battlefield to you. Just hold off Jiraiya and the others for me."
Uehara Naraku's will projection dissipated from Namikaze Minato's spiritual world, leaving only one sentence: "I am also a kind person and wouldn't force a disciple to kill his master, such a cruel thing."
After Uehara Naraku's will disappeared.
Namikaze Minato returned to reality, his expression slightly uneasy. He carefully inspected his body and found that he was still under Uehara Naraku's constraint.
The only thing he could move freely was his mouth.
Recalling Uehara Naraku's threat, Namikaze Minato slowly clenched his fists, looking at Jiraiya, and said in a deep voice, "Sorry, Jiraiya-sensei, I must stop what you're doing now. It's a choice I have no choice but to make."
"Hahaha..."
Jiraiya was not angry at all; instead, he laughed heartily and slowly clasped his fingers, forming an opposing seal: "Minato, if I remember correctly, you really wanted to challenge me back then, right?"
"That's right."
Namikaze Minato also slowly formed an opposing seal. The golden chakra armor within him gradually faded, reverting to an ordinary state.
Namikaze Minato gazed directly at Jiraiya's growing serious expression, a hint of earnestness appearing on his own face: "Then... sensei, please guide me."
"You guys go face the old man!"
Jiraiya instructed Nara Shikaku and others to attack the Third Hokage, while he leisurely clasped his hands, continuing to chat: "Do we need to set any rules?"
"No rules needed."
Namikaze Minato shook his head and said softly, "Jiraiya-sensei can even kill me because in the state of reanimation, I won't die!"
"Can I use Fuinjutsu?"
Jiraiya looked at Namikaze Minato and continued to ask, "I am very good at Fuinjutsu... Do you think I can seal you now?"
Namikaze Minato's face immediately showed some embarrassment: "That might be possible, but I am also very skilled in Fuinjutsu. Even if you use Dead Demon Consuming Seal at the cost of your life, it won't work, because I am already..."
Namikaze Minato abruptly stopped speaking; he couldn't reveal any information about Uehara Naraku, narrowly escaping a slip of the tongue!
"Then, can I use Sage Mode?"
Jiraiya's face showed a meaningful smile as he slowly applied some toad oil paint, formed a summoning hand seal, and solemnly declared: "Ninpo: Summoning Jutsu!"
"Sensei... still the same!"
Namikaze Minato shook his head helplessly and said in a low voice, "Sensei, you've been chatting with me all this time just to buy enough time to summon Fukasaku and Shima to enter Sage Mode, right?"
A sound of summoning smoke arose.
Jiraiya's appearance changed dramatically. His face bore streaks of oil paint, and two small frogs appeared on his shoulders. However, his aura became much more formidable!
Jiraiya waved his hand proudly, laughing heartily: "Hahaha... You guessed it right, kid!"
"Who's the enemy this time?"
Shima Sage surveyed everything around and suddenly looked at Namikaze Minato with disbelief: "Wait a minute, Little Jiraiya, isn't this Little Minato?"
Namikaze Minato nodded amicably and softly said, "It's been a long time, Shima Sage, Fukasaku Sage."
"In short, Minato has been resurrected and is being controlled."
Jiraiya succinctly explained the current situation, speaking gravely: "We must defeat him and hurry to support Naruto and Kakashi. They might be caught in Akatsuki's surrounding forces!"
"I see..."
Fukasaku Sage nodded gravely and said in a deep voice, "That's not good. If I remember correctly... Minato also learned Sage Mode, right?"
"That's right, Sage Mode, activate!"
Namikaze Minato nodded calmly, and suddenly the oil paint of Sage Mode flashed in his eyes: "With the help of the Nine-tail inside me, it helps me gather natural energy, allowing me to enter Sage Mode at any time..."
Jiraiya: "..."
Fukasaku Sage: "..."
Shima Sage: "..."
"Sorry, Jiraiya-sensei."
Namikaze Minato shook his head, his face showing a hint of apology, and seriously declared: "I can only tell you that I must prohibit your passage."
"Then bring it on!"
Jiraiya clasped his hands, his face also becoming solemn: "Minato, no need to apologize. I once told you, in the ninja world, there's no saying that a disciple must obey their master, especially since you are now just being controlled!"
After saying that, Jiraiya said in a deep voice: "Our goal is not to defeat Minato, but to break through his defense and get to Naruto and Kakashi's location!"
