"Are you going to use the Flying Thunder God Technique (Hiraishin no Jutsu)?"
Seeing Sensei Minato take out a dozen Kunai, Akira Tsubaki watched quietly.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Kunai were thrown near the bridgehead, and then Namikaze Minato assumed a fighting stance.
"Akira, we are always ready to support," Kakashi pulled out his Short Sword (Ninja Tool), nervous.
"Need not."
"Huh?"
"Pay attention to those Iwagakure Ninjas. Did you find anything?" Akira Tsubaki reminded him.
"Found? No," Kakashi shook his head.
"Three people are missing."
After being told by Akira Tsubaki, Kakashi hastily observed carefully.
Unfortunately, he didn't see where those three people went.
Whoosh!
At this moment, Namikaze Minato moved.
As soon as an Iwagakure Ninja stepped out of the bridge, Namikaze Minato instantly teleported to the side of a flanking Iwagakure Ninja and inserted a Kunai into the opponent's neck.
Ignoring the fight there, Akira Tsubaki concentrated and started communicating with the Big Tree (Taiki).
"Find the three people who are hiding."
Big Tree: "Don't look for them. The three of them are right under your feet."
"Um?"
Akira Tsubaki was taken aback for a moment and looked down.
He saw three almost transparent figures, using Hiding Like a Mole Technique (Doton: Dochū Mogura no Jutsu) to touch under the tree, about to climb up.
Leaping down, Akira Tsubaki punched one Iwagakure Ninja straight through the chest.
Immediately afterward, his fists continued unabated, hitting the other two in a rapid succession.
"You? How did you find us?"
"Impossible…"
Feeling the rapidly passing vitality in their bodies, the two Iwagakure Ninjas' eyes widened, and they fell to the ground unwillingly.
"Hehe~~ You don't believe me when I say it was the Big Tree who told me."
Akira Tsubaki sighed and jumped back up the tree.
At this moment, Kakashi looked terrified.
He hadn't noticed that Iwagakure Ninjas had touched under the tree at all. If someone had stabbed him from below, it would have been fatal.
"Watch Sensei Minato's fight! It's about to end."
When Akira Tsubaki said this, Kakashi turned his head to look at the battle at the bridge.
In just a short while, only a few Iwagakure Ninjas were left standing.
"I see! You are Konoha's Yellow Flash!" Kuroiwa (Heiyan) finally recognized the Ninja.
However, he did not surrender.
"You use Kunai for teleportation, then I will destroy all your Kunai!"
As he said that, Kuroiwa quickly formed a seal.
Earth Style (Doton) — Rock and Soil Cracking!
Click, click, click.
The ground cracked inch by inch, and the range was vast.
At the same time.
The Kunai that Minato had inserted into the ground fell into the deep pits one after another.
"Without your Kunai, what do you have… Poof!"
Kuroiwa's voice stopped abruptly.
Because his entire head was gone.
"I just can't figure it out. When you fight, you fight. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Withdrawing his fist, Akira Tsubaki jumped out and left the battlefield.
The battle was quickly over.
This battle completely turned the bridgehead into a huge pit.
This meant that if Iwagakure wanted to cross the bridge, they would have to step into the deep pit first.
"Hoo~~"
Back on the tree, Namikaze Minato let out a long breath.
Continuously performing the Flying Thunder God Technique in a short period of time was also a kind of overload for him.
After resting for a moment, he looked at Akira Tsubaki.
"This time there were nearly fifty people. Next time, there may be hundreds of people."
He was reminding Akira Tsubaki that it was time to evacuate.
After all, a Ninja needs time to recover Chakra, and the best way to recover is undoubtedly to rest.
"Sensei, it's fine if I come next time," Akira Tsubaki smiled with a calm tone.
"You really can?" Namikaze Minato was worried.
"It's nothing more than a bunch of chickens and dogs," Akira Tsubaki looked relaxed.
Kakashi looked complicated.
Hundreds of people, chickens and dogs?
Underground Cave.
The shaking of the ground awakened the resting Madara Uchiha.
Soon, he got the news.
"Madara-sama, Namikaze Minato's Team Minato is fighting Iwagakure."
"Huh? Team Minato? The team that Akira Tsubaki is in?" Madara's expression changed.
"Yes."
"It really didn't take much effort~~"
Madara was in a good mood.
Fortunately, he had released a bounty mission to find Akira Tsubaki, but now, the boy himself had shown up near his location.
"However, with Namikaze Minato who has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, it is still a bit troublesome."
After thinking about it, Madara decided to observe it from a distance.
As long as Namikaze Minato left for a short time, he could bring that boy back.
"Black Zetsu, possess a White Zetsu, follow me to watch the battle."
Soon.
Madara and Black/White Zetsu left the cave and appeared on a tree thousands of meters away.
"Is that the brat?"
Looking at Akira Tsubaki on the tree, Madara locked onto the target.
"Yes, that brat's Taijutsu is very strong," Black Zetsu responded.
"Taijutsu? Huh~~"
Madara looked disdainful.
He didn't notice that the moment the other half of White Zetsu saw Akira Tsubaki, there was a frenzy of joy in his eyes.
At the same time.
Akira Tsubaki leaned lazily on the tree trunk, waiting for Iwagakure's main force.
Suddenly.
"Someone is spying on you," Big Tree reminded him.
"Um?"
Akira Tsubaki looked surprised.
"Where?"
"One kilometer to the south."
Big Tree's voice had just fallen.
Whoosh!
Akira Tsubaki's figure leaped out and ran towards the south at a high speed.
He believed in the Big Tree.
"Huh? Found?"
Madara on the tree was stunned for a moment, finding it incredible.
He was under the cover of White Zetsu, so it was almost impossible to be found.
But that boy was obviously running towards here, and the speed was extremely fast.
Instinctively, Madara sensed something was wrong.
"Leave!"
Under the command in a low voice, Black Zetsu prepared to take Madara into the ground.
But at this moment, an accident happened.
Since Black Zetsu was possessed by White Zetsu, White Zetsu must be used to escape underground.
But the problem was—
White Zetsu remained motionless.
Even!
"It's here!!!"
White Zetsu yelled, and Madara was startled.
Puff!
Killing the possessed White Zetsu directly, Madara's face was full of anger.
"I was betrayed by White Zetsu?"
"But why?"
Question marks filled Madara Uchiha's heart.
As soon as he thought of this, a figure rushed over—it was Akira Tsubaki.
Akira Tsubaki recognized Madara at first sight.
However, he was not afraid at all.
"Uchiha Madara? Dare to spy on me? Die to me!"
