Ren ignored the thousands of Mist Ninjas rushing towards him, and instead cast his gaze towards Jinpachi who was not far away, and said with a look of disdain.
"Hey, that blindfolded guy, you're so weak, did you buy your spot in the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?"
"What did you say?!"
Being humiliated and provoked by Ren in public, Jinpachi lost his mind in rage and rushed towards Ren with his explosive sword.
"Wait, don't fall into the trap!"
The Fuguki suikazan behind him was about to stop him, but unexpectedly, Jinpachi, who was blinded by anger, automatically blocked all information. Now all he thought about in his mind was: blow Ren to pieces.
"This bastard!"
The Fuguki suikazan cursed inwardly, put away his Samehada without hesitation and turned away. After all, he had already given a warning, so it didn't matter whether this guy lived or died.
"burst!"
Jinpachi rushed forward and swung the explosive sword. The detonating tag on it lit up white light before it landed. If Ren resisted, even the beheading sword would be blown into pieces.
"Besides shouting explosion, what else can you do?"
When Ren fell, he had already slid to the right five meters away with the help of the water. As the explosive knife fell, the place where Ren had been standing before immediately exploded, accompanied by a huge roar, and splashed water several meters high, directly soaking Jinpachi who was standing in place.
"Pfft, sorry, I don't want to laugh, but I really can't hold it back."
Looking at the embarrassed Jinpachi, Ren leaned on the hilt of his sword and laughed crazily. This made jinpachi's last bit of rationality disappear immediately, and he rushed towards Ren again with red eyes.
"You're looking for death!!!"
Jinpachi roared, grabbed the explosive sword with both hands and began to swing it.
"Explosive Sword Ninja Technique: Hit the Death Throw!!"
As jinpachi swung it, the side covered with detonating tags flew out like a wave, and began to dance quickly around Ren in the air.
Ren didn't even dodge, but instead leaned on the hilt of the sword and yawned at Jinpachi with a bored look on his face.
"You'll regret it after you die, little devil!"
Feeling insulted again,jinpachi sped up the production of the detonating talisman paper and soon wrapped Ren tightly, making it impossible to see what was going on inside from the outside.
"burst!!"
Following Jinpachi's shout, countless detonating tags began to emit a dazzling light, immediately forcing the Mist Ninjas on both sides who were about to attack Ren to retreat far away. After all, if caught in a detonating tag array of this scale, nine out of ten would be blown to pieces.
As for that little devil, he was definitely dead. There was no chance of him surviving.
"boom!!!"
With a loud roar, flames shot up into the sky. The sea area exploded, and all kinds of dead fish and shrimp were sent high into the sky by the water flow, and then flew in all directions.
"Ren!"
Namikaze Minato looked anxious and was about to go forward to check the situation. Suddenly, his expression froze, and then he stood there with a meaningful smile.
Although Uchiha Yusuke, Maruboshi Kosuke and others wanted to go to the rescue, they were hundreds of meters apart and there were a large number of Mist Ninjas in between, so they were powerless and could only watch the explosion happen.
"Ahahahaha, this little brat is finally dead!"
Munashi Jinpachi laughed wildly. Although it consumed a lot of chakra, killing a genius kid from Konoha didn't seem like a big loss.
Meanwhile, Biwa Juzo, who was in the distance, looked at Jinpachi with a furious expression. There was more than just Ren in the explosion just now; his beheading sword was still inside!
Although the Beheading Blade could absorb the iron in the enemy's blood to repair itself, it was blown into hundreds of pieces and fell into the sea. Even if the village summoned it with a spiritual scroll, it was still unclear whether it could be restored.
"These guys seem to be of some use."
Yagura felt a little relieved after seeing the flames shooting up into the sky.
He had been paying attention to the battles of the previous few people. Seeing the powerful strength displayed by Ren despite his age, he must be a genius of the new generation of Konoha. If he died here, this war would not be in vain.
As the smoke dissipated and the water surface returned to calm, Ren had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a large number of dead fish and shrimp floating on the sea.
After this episode, the two groups of Mist Ninjas gathered together and successfully got rid of the Konoha Ninjas behind them.
Minato Namikaze did not order a pursuit. All the Konoha ninjas stood on the shore and watched the other side. At the same time, they used two ninjutsu to catch a few unlucky guys who ran slowly.
Besides, the battle was on the sea, and when it came to naval warfare, the Hidden Mist Village was second to none in the ninja world. If we chased them, the favorable situation would be overturned.
"Minato! Ren's side..."
"Don't worry, Great Elder Yusuke."
Yusuke anxiously came to Minato Namikaze, and was interrupted by the latter just as he was about to say something.
"That kid won't die so easily."
Uchiha Yusuke, who was a little confused, was about to say something when he saw something swimming towards him under the sea not far away at an astonishing speed.
"Be careful of the sea!"
Uchiha Yusuke shouted loudly, letting the others be alert while he took a step forward and began to make seals quickly with his hands.
"Fire Style..."
"Uncle Yusuke, stop it!"
"Um?"
Just as Uchiha Yusuke was about to unleash his Fire Release, a familiar voice was heard, followed by a figure rushing out of the sea and landing on the shore, with a big sword on his back.
"You you you!"
Uchiha Yusuke's eyes almost popped out, and as the chakra in his mouth dissipated, he kept pointing at Ren with his hands, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Ahem, don't get so excited, Uncle Yusuke. Do you think a mere Seven Ninja Swordsmen can kill me? You're underestimating me."
Having said that, Ren's gaze shifted to the smiling Namikaze Minato beside him, and said with a hurt look on his face.
"Brother Minato, I'm in danger, I don't know whether I'm alive or dead, and you're not worried at all. It makes me so sad."
"So, how did you know I was okay?"
Now, not only Ren, but also Uchiha Yusuke and the people around him turned their attention to Namikaze Minato, waiting for his answer.
"It's simple, because of this."
Minato Namikaze slowly took out a Flying Thunder God Kunai from his arms, spread it out in his palm, and then a string of seemingly profound and complex black runes was exposed to everyone's sight.
"You have the Flying Thunder God mark that I left on you. After the explosion just now, I didn't feel the mark dissipate, so I knew you had escaped safely."
…
Things like Flying Thunder God are really troublesome.
