One's Own Life Reincarnation is a jutsu developed by the Hidden Sand Village's Puppet Brigade that can endow puppets with life.
The person responsible for leading the research of this jutsu was Granny Chiyo.
The theoretical stage was successfully completed, but the risk of practice was too great, and there were ethical concerns. It was finally classified as a forbidden jutsu and sealed before human experimentation.
Minato was not sure if Chiyo had developed this jutsu at this time, but even if not, it would be good to get some related technology.
Because in his opinion, the research value of One's Own Life Reincarnation was greater than its usage value.
Using Sharingan to control others to use One's Own Life Reincarnation, he had thought about this.
However, having learned so many ninjutsu, he now had a very solid theoretical foundation of ninjutsu and knew that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
As a forbidden jutsu that can transfer one's own life force to others, super strong chakra control is only the threshold for learning. Superb medical ninjutsu and Yang Release nature transformation are also indispensable.
In the entire ninja world, there were no more than a handful of people capable of practicing One's Own Life Reincarnation, and Tsunade was one of them.
"Wood Style! This kid is a Wood Style Bloodline Limit user!"
Seeing Minato release vines, a Sand ninja instantly exclaimed.
"Kill him!"
"Absolutely cannot let this kid continue to grow!"
A Sand ninja's face changed drastically, shouting loudly.
Mentioning Wood Style, the first thing everyone thought of was the God of Shinobi who once shook the ninja world.
Konoha absolutely cannot have another God of Shinobi!
The surrounding Sand ninjas rushed over without hesitation, wanting to besiege Minato.
With a golden flash under Minato's feet, he landed lightly more than ten meters away.
"Wind Release: Gale Palm!"
"Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere!"
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
Seeing Minato leave Takahiro's side, for a moment, ninjutsu smashed towards Minato as if they cost nothing.
"Don't waste chakra, he knows Space-Time Ninjutsu!"
Takahiro looked at Minato's figure with complicated eyes, enduring the pain in his abdomen, shouting with difficulty.
Sure enough, as soon as his voice fell, Minato flickered and appeared beside Sakumo Hatake, taking the Wood Clone back into his body.
Sakumo Hatake shook the blood off his short sword and looked around: "If we don't kill the leader, these losses are probably not enough to force them back."
"It doesn't matter. I happen to have some ninjutsu to practice."
Minato suddenly clapped his hands together. The ground trembled violently, roaring as if the earth veins were awakening.
A huge monster tore through the soil and soared into the sky—it was a hideous wooden dragon over hundreds of meters long. The shadow cast by the dragon's coiled body was enough to cover half the battlefield, bringing a terrifying aura!
At this moment, the entire battlefield seemed to lose its sound, only Minato's clear youthful voice spread far away.
"Wood Style: Wood Dragon Jutsu!"
Roar The Wood Dragon opened its huge mouth, roared silently, and after circling around Minato and Sakumo Hatake, it shot fiercely towards the Sand ninjas!
The huge body hundreds of meters long instantly swept through most of the battlefield, and the ground cracked and churned under the heavy pressure.
Wherever the Wood Dragon passed, ninja tools scattered, limbs flew, and wails and the sound of cracking bones were annihilated in the heavy impact sound.
Sand ninjas who had no time to form seals or dodge were like ants swept into a storm. Some Sand ninjas tried to resist with nature transformation jutsu, but could only barely leave a few shallow scars on the Wood Dragon.
And as the Wood Dragon crushed through the crowd, the scars on its body recovered as before in a blink of an eye!
"Don't get touched, this thing can absorb chakra!"
Watching his teammate being sucked into a dry corpse just by accidentally being brushed by the Wood Dragon, a Sand ninja shouted in fear.
However, no one responded—
The terrifying Wood Dragon swept through the crowd vertically and horizontally. After sweeping through, only a few people remained on the battlefield!
Thud!
Watching the Wood Dragon obediently return to Minato's side, a surviving Sand ninja's legs went soft, and he knelt weakly on the ground.
"This—is this Wood Style?"
Sakumo Hatake unconsciously opened his mouth wide. Facing such a terrifying offensive, even he couldn't think of any good countermeasures for a moment.
Unless consuming a large amount of chakra to create a super-scale Earth Style Rampart, but with his chakra volume, he could at most block one round of attacks.
Thinking of this, Sakumo Hatake was speechless for a while: "If you said earlier that you had such strength, we wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble."
"Actually, I just wanted to be a bystander (soy sauce maker), but unfortunately, my strength doesn't allow me to keep a low profile—"
Minato shook his head regretfully: "And I'm not interested in paying for the war started by others. If I behave too exaggeratedly, there will only be more trouble in the future."
"Back in the village, I heard that Senior is enthusiastic, straightforward, helpful, and a very reliable companion. But I am different. I am not interested in shedding blood for irrelevant people."
"Is that so—"
Sakumo Hatake understood instantly.
Although he had different values from Minato, he did not dislike Minato's ideas.
After all, no one likes trouble. As long as it didn't infringe on others, he had no position to criticize Minato.
"Actually, there's nothing bad about this. Don't worry, apart from necessary mission reports, I won't reveal your strength to others."
Having seen Minato's strength, Sakumo Hatake's tone became much more relaxed.
"But can we be considered comrades fighting side by side? For the sake of a comrade, if I kneel down and beg for your help, you wouldn't refuse, right?"
Minato couldn't help laughing: "No need to be so humble—I am still very easy to talk to with friends."
His strength would spread sooner or later. Minato never thought of hiding it, just didn't want to be entangled by those unappreciative guys, avoiding situations like "You are so strong, why didn't you save so-and-so—".
Putting his hand on Sakumo Hatake's back, the two figures flashed and returned to the camp again.
"Flying Raijin—really convenient."
Noticing the changes in the surrounding environment, Sakumo Hatake couldn't help sighing.
"Lord Sakumo, the Sand ninja troops directly west just stopped fifteen kilometers away."
"Hm?"
Sakumo Hatake was slightly stunned, then figured out the reason: "It seems they got the news from the north."
Thinking of this, he looked at Minato: "Minato-san (little brother), the Hidden Sand's attack should have come to an end. You go rest first."
"Hidden Sand suffered heavy casualties this time, and they shouldn't organize another attack in a short time, but it's better for the front-line troops to arrive as soon as possible."
"I understand."
Minato nodded and turned to leave.
When he found Nawaki and Mikoto, the two were helping bandage the wounded.
Seeing a ninja screaming under Nawaki's crude bandaging technique, Minato walked up quickly, waved his hand, signaling Nawaki to get lost.
Then he quickly bandaged the wound, threw a handful of pollen on the wounded's face, and the other party rolled his eyes and fell asleep on the spot.
It wasn't until Minato finished this set of actions that Nawaki spoke excitedly: "Minato, you're back!"
"Mmh, where are Senior Shirakumo and the others?" Minato asked.
"Senior and the others are preparing for battle."
Nawaki's eyes were full of expectation: "I wanted to go too, but I was arranged to help here. Now that you are back, we should be able to join the battle, right?"
Minato shook his head: "No, the enemy retreated."
Nawaki: "————"
No, where is my merit?
