Namikaze Minato was blown away!
The seemingly invincible Namikaze Minato, who had just shown his prowess on the battlefield, was untouchable by Nagato, Uzumaki Naruto, and even Tsunade...
And now, he was brutally blown away by Uehara Naraku!
Everyone present originally believed that the arrival of Uehara Naraku would at least help Uzumaki Naruto and Nagato hold the battle line, giving them more time to spot the enemy's flaws and weaknesses.
No one expected that as soon as Uehara Naraku appeared, he would utterly defeat Namikaze Minato in Kurama Mode using only his Taijutsu.
"That Uehara guy is still so strong..."
Uzumaki Naruto looked at Uehara Naraku in amazement as he sent the Golden Nine-tails flying and then used a powerful Hirudora air burst to break through Namikaze Minato's Kurama Mode.
"It's because Uehara works hard enough."
A bright light flashed in Nagato's Rinnegan as he slowly lowered his head and whispered, "If someone works hard enough, they will surely be rewarded. Now he is capable of taking on responsibilities."
At this moment, Nagato made a silent decision in his heart.
Previously, he might have been worried about Konan and Uehara Naraku, but now he was completely assured.
Konan watched Uehara Naraku's surging Chakra and formidable power, and her expression gradually softened.
After witnessing Uehara Naraku's strength, these people barely managed to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Uchiha Obito and Namikaze Minato looked somewhat displeased. Just as Uehara Naraku charged towards them again, the figure of Senju Tobirama suddenly appeared beside Namikaze Minato!
The next instant, the Second Hokage quickly brought his fingers together, swiftly completing a few simple hand seals!
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bomb!"
A massive wave surged into a water dragon, blocking Uehara Naraku's path, roaring fiercely as it lunged towards Uehara!
"Trying to use Water Release Ninjutsu on me?"
Uehara Naraku's fingers suddenly spread out, quickly forming a chaotic hand seal, and another larger water dragon emerged from the ground!
The two water dragons collided in an instant!
The Chakra within the water dragons gradually depleted as water splashed everywhere, resembling a torrential downpour.
Yet Uehara Naraku raised his fingers again, causing the raindrops to hang mid-air, transforming into countless water needles!
In terms of Water Release Ninjutsu control, there's likely no one in the Ninja World who exceeds his skill, not even the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama!
The next moment, countless water needles covered Namikaze Minato and the others!
The water needles rained down densely, resembling a barrage of senbon needles!
"Water Release: Water Array Pillar!"
Senju Tobirama swiftly clasped his palms together, and a wave surged from beneath him, forming a circular water barrier around him, Namikaze Minato, and Uchiha Obito, blocking the incoming water needles!
Namikaze Minato glanced at the Water Release Barrier surrounding them, a hint of admiration appearing on his face. "As expected of Second Hokage-sama, his mastery of Water Release Ninjutsu is truly terrifying, able to unleash such a unique Water Array Pillar Jutsu..."
"No, his Water Release Ninjutsu is even stronger."
Senju Tobirama's expression turned sullen as he shook his head and whispered, "That kid is far superior to ordinary people in Water Release Ninjutsu, and even I have to admit he's a highly talented Water Release Ninja. He undoubtedly surpasses others in countering Water Release Ninjutsu too!"
As anticipated.
Uehara Naraku's palm flipped in the next moment!
A huge red fireball appeared in his hand and shot rapidly toward the Water Array Pillar!
Just when everyone expected the fireball to be blocked by the Water Array Pillar, the next moment, the Water Array Pillar Jutsu created by Senju Tobirama suddenly turned into steam and rapidly evaporated!
This isn't a Fire Release Ninjutsu!
This is another terrifying Jutsu entirely!
Namikaze Minato watched the Water Array Pillar Jutsu turn into steam and dissipate, a hint of surprise flashing across his face as he frowned involuntarily. "Scorch Release... Is this the Kekkeigenkai of the Scorch Release Pakura from the Hidden Sand Village?"
Having battled in the Ninja World Wars, Namikaze Minato had seen the abilities of the Scorch Release Pakura. Unfortunately, Pakura died in the Third Ninja World War, causing the Scorch Release to become extinct.
No one expected Uehara Naraku to acquire such a lost Kekkeigenkai as Scorch Release, which completely counters Water Release Ninjutsu!
Just as they thought it was over, Uehara Naraku's fingers rose slowly, and the steam formed into swirling vortexes, instantly enveloping the three of them!
"Is this... Boil Release?"
Uchiha Obito's figure quietly hollowed, watching as Namikaze Minato and Senju Tobirama's bodies were gradually broken down by the high-temperature steam, a red gleam flashing in his eyes!
The next moment, Uchiha Obito extended his palm, absorbing the countless steam into his Kamui Space!
"That's right!"
Namikaze Minato's body slowly recovered, his gaze even more shocked. "He must have synthesized two Kekkeigenkai... This guy is more terrifying than we imagined!"
"Mm, even more so."
Uchiha Obito slowly nodded, glanced at the distant and relaxed Uehara Naraku, and lowered his voice: "This guy once manipulated me to leak information about his successful bloodline synthesis, mentioning that he already possesses his own Kekkeigenkai. Obviously, ordinary bloodlines wouldn't satisfy him."
"No matter how many kinds of bloodline he has in his body..."
Senju Tobirama quickly clasped his hands together and whispered, "In front of him, conventional Ninjutsu is useless... Well, we never expected to rely on these ordinary Jutsu to defeat him anyway."
The three ninjas skilled in Space-Time Jutsu exchanged glances.
Earlier, Senju Tobirama had just used two Water Release Ninjutsu and was completely suppressed by Uehara Naraku, proving the ineffectiveness of Water Release Ninjutsu.
As for Fire Release Ninjutsu...
It definitely won't be useful either.
Because Uehara Naraku is extremely skilled at using Water Release Ninjutsu to restrain Fire Release.
"Let's go together!"
Namikaze Minato regripped a kunai in his hand, glanced at the two people next to him, and nodded towards them. The three of them charged towards Uehara Naraku simultaneously!
So far, when the three ninjas skilled in Space-Time Jutsu make a move together, no one can be their opponent, and thus, no one can perceive which one of them will use a Space-Time Jutsu attack!
"I'll go first!"
Namikaze Minato raised his hand, and threw a shuriken, quickly clasped his hands together, and shouted softly: "Let's first disrupt the enemy's sight! Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
In the next moment, countless stars appeared in front of Uehara Naraku, densely packed and shooting towards him!
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Uehara Naraku straightened his fingers, and a fierce gust of wind blew wildly around him, directly dispelling the countless Shadow Clone shurikens into mere illusions!
Namikaze Minato and Senju Tobirama charged forward against the fierce wind, almost simultaneously appearing on both sides of Uehara Naraku, each holding their kunai and stabbing towards him!
Uehara Naraku grabbed Senju Tobirama's arm with one hand, and with a flick, he was about to smash him onto Namikaze Minato, intending to throw both of them flying in one move!
"Caught!"
Senju Tobirama glanced at Namikaze Minato, a flash of light passed before their eyes, and they spoke in unison, "Use that move!"
"Flying Thunder God Mutually Instantaneous Revolving Jutsu!"
Their figures moved simultaneously!
Senju Tobirama looked at the arm caught by Uehara Naraku and suddenly activated the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, bringing Uehara Naraku behind Namikaze Minato!
Namikaze Minato also appeared in Senju Tobirama's previous position!
At this moment, they formed a perfect attack angle. Namikaze Minato held a Tailed Beast Ball in his hand and smashed it towards Uehara Naraku's back!
This time, it's definitely a crisis for Uehara Naraku!
They believed that even if Uehara Naraku's speed was fast, at this moment he couldn't possibly react in time to their meticulously planned attack!
Unfortunately, in the next moment, Uehara Naraku stared at that Tailed Beast Ball, slightly smirked, and suddenly kicked that Tailed Beast Ball flying!
The Tailed Beast Ball, after being kicked flying by Uehara Naraku, exploded upon landing, leaving a deep crater on the ground!
"Are you kidding me!"
Everyone present almost changed their expression simultaneously.
How could there be someone who can kick a Tailed Beast Ball flying? Something that explodes upon contact, can it really be kicked away directly?
So far, the way to deal with Tailed Beast Balls has always been to use powerful barrier defense Ninjutsu or collide it with another Tailed Beast Ball.
How could anyone kick a Tailed Beast Ball away?
While Namikaze Minato and Senju Tobirama were still in shock, Uehara Naraku took advantage of the moment to elbow them and sent them flying!
Uehara Naraku lazily yawned and revealed a mysterious smile: "What an interesting battle... almost got thwarted by you two!"
"..."
Such words are too fake!
One cannot believe anything Uehara Naraku says!
Just seeing how he easily kicked the Tailed Beast Ball flying, moves like that show he felt confident he wouldn't be affected.
Namikaze Minato's body started recovering under the effect of Reanimation, and a hint of amazement flashed across his face: "Directly kicking away the Tailed Beast Ball, truly an astounding solution..."
"No..."
Uehara Naraku slowly opened his palm and contemplated, "Compared to what I truly want to kick away, a Tailed Beast Ball really isn't that strong..."
Indeed, it can't be considered strong.
