After losing their own will, the combat power of a Reanimation Body can be said to fluctuate dramatically, purely relying on instinct to fight.
However, there's no doubt that the elderly and frail Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen experienced a significant increase in power after being reanimated.
"Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen flung a giant shuriken, quickly forming hand seals, causing the shuriken to instantly multiply in countless clones shooting towards Jiraiya and the Ino-Shika-Cho direction!
"Earth Release: Earth Flow City Wall!"
Jiraiya promptly formed hand seals, summoning an Earth Flow City Wall to block the giant shuriken, though even the thick wall was sliced with cracks!
Jiraiya couldn't help but furrow his brows, exclaiming with lingering fear, "The old guy sure is ruthless!"
However, just as Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief, the clear voice of the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato echoed in his ears, "Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
It almost made Jiraiya forget!
Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen alike, both excelled at the Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu, though their focus differed!
Namikaze Minato threw a shuriken into the air, quickly forming hand seals, faster than Sarutobi Hiruzen by more than a fraction!
The next second, the tiny shuriken split into countless clones!
They were like stars twinkling densely in the night sky, soon showering down!
These countless meteors were the masterpieces of Namikaze Minato's shuriken shadow clone jutsu, each Ninjutsu gaining enormous power from his research!
"Fire Release: Mighty Dragon Flame Bomb!"
Jiraiya swiftly clasped his hands, exhaling a stream of intense flames at the descending shurikens!
The sky covered with shurikens dissolved into smoke under the fiery assault.
Even if they're shuriken shadow clones, they are, in the end, shadow clones and vanish under sufficiently strong attacks.
"Phew, has it finally been dealt with?"
Akimichi Chouza stood up, shaking his head as he gazed at Namikaze Minato in the distance, softly commenting, "Minato is still as terrifying..."
"After all, he's the most perfect ninja..."
Nara Shikaku slowly clasped his hands, murmuring, "Let's try to control them first, Shadow Binding!"
A mass of shadows swiftly extended from his feet, converging towards the Fourth Hokage's location, though just a probing move, Nara Shikaku put in his full effort!
After all, once Namikaze Minato roams the battlefield, it would be a colossal headache for them.
Clearly, this tactic was useless.
Namikaze Minato's speed was beyond the shadow's reach, yet Nara Shikaku did not stop, simply watching Namikaze Minato evade the shadow, softly instructing his teammate, "Block him, Chouza!"
"Understood! Partial Expansion Jutsu!"
Akimichi Chouza's fist suddenly became massive, thrusting it towards Namikaze Minato's area, forcing Minato to instantaneously vanish!
But no one anticipated that Namikaze Minato landed on Akimichi Chouza's hand, leaving a Flying Thunder God Mark on him!
"Is it over?"
Akimichi Chouza's first thought was this sentence.
Once Namikaze Minato leaves a Flying Thunder God mark, escaping his pursuit becomes almost impossible!
"No, it's perfect timing!"
Nara Shikaku lightly chuckled, glanced at Yamanaka Inoichi beside him, softly said, "So now, it's up to you, Inoichi!"
"Mm..."
Yamanaka Inoichi extended his hand onto Nara Shikaku, using the Mind Body Transfer Jutsu to control Shikaku's body, sensing Namikaze Minato's location.
"Here he comes!"
Yamanaka Inoichi located Namikaze Minato within his sensory range, whispered, "But it's impossible to predict when he will appear beside Chouza..."
"Now!"
Nara Shikaku's shadow instantly expanded, enveloping the entire region, also covering the recently landed Namikaze Minato!
The next moment, just as they thought they captured Namikaze Minato, golden chakra began to seep from him, forming a golden Chakra Armor over his body.
Nine-Tails Mode!
Namikaze Minato instantly used it to escape Shadow Binding's hold, sweeping a kick sending Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Akimichi Chouza flying!
"..."
Jiraiya's jaw nearly dropped in shock, staring in disbelief at the radiant Namikaze Minato, murmuring, "This is… the Nine-Tails' Chakra!"
What's going on here!
Even handling a normal Namikaze Minato was tough enough for Shikaku and the others, but this Minato also had the Nine-Tails' Chakra!
No, not only that, he could even utilize the Nine-Tails' Chakra perfectly!
Just Namikaze Minato's current aura was stronger than when Uzumaki Naruto showed eight tails during the Chunin Exam!
What on earth is this!
However, Namikaze Minato releasing the Nine-Tails' Chakra wasn't entirely a bad thing.
Because his will gradually returned, though he still couldn't break free from Uehara Naraku's control, at least he could report significant information to Jiraiya...
