Chapter 105: Namikaze Minato is Stupefied
"Fire Style: Mouse Hairball!"
The Ino-Shika-Cho trio was just preparing to do what they usually did—join forces to stall the Kumogakure Elite Jōnin.
But at that moment, several pale blue fireballs flew towards them at high speed.
"Scatter!"
Nara Shikaku, noticing this scene, reacted instantly.
He commanded Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Chōza to start dodging.
"Heh!"
At this time, Yugito Nii, with one hand transformed into a cat-like claw, walked over with a cold sneer.
"I heard that when Ino-Shika-Cho join forces, you have the power to fight even a peak Kage-level powerhouse. Then next, let me be your opponent!"
"..."
The Ino-Shika-Cho trio were all somewhat helpless.
In the past, Kumogakure's two perfect Jinchūriki were always beaten by Aoyama Ryūun.
But now, the situation was completely different.
"So, Lord Third is really brain-dead!"
Even the usually good-tempered Nara Shikaku couldn't help but curse.
Did he understand the Kumogakure battlefield at all? To actually transfer Aoyama Ryūun away.
Complaints were complaints, but the battle had to be fought.
...
The Ino-Shika-Cho trio, as well as Hatake Sakumo, were all stalled by Kumogakure's two Jinchūriki.
Without that obstruction, the group of Elite Jōnin rampaged through the Konoha ninjas as if entering an uninhabited land.
"Hahaha! Without that monster, this is great!"
"Did you really think you could beat our Kumogakure?"
"We only lost to Aoyama Ryūun, not to a bunch of idiots like you!"
When they attacked, they roared loudly.
There was no helping it; they were too depressed inside.
If they didn't shout a bit, they wouldn't feel good.
"How... how can it be like this!"
Although Namikaze Minato was fighting A, he was also keeping an eye on the battlefield elsewhere at all times.
In Namikaze Minato's view, there shouldn't have been any accidents in this battle.
But the reality was that the high-end combat power was stalled, and the ones being thrashed turned out to be Konoha.
"Where are you looking?"
While he was distracted, a figure flashing with lightning instantly appeared beside Namikaze Minato.
A punch smashed down with a boom.
Fortunately, Namikaze Minato's reaction was swift.
Using the Flying Thunder God Technique, he easily dodged A's punch.
"Tch! You are indeed fast."
Missing a punch, A wasn't very disappointed.
In A's view, this guy with a head full of blond hair had nothing excellent besides speed.
"Rasengan Barrage!"
Helpless, Namikaze Minato could only think of defeating the A in front of him as quickly as possible so he could support other parts of the battlefield.
However, Namikaze Minato was thinking too simply.
Namikaze Minato performed this seal-less ninjutsu almost to the point of art.
But it still failed to cause any injury to A.
The Lightning Style Chakra Mode wasn't called the strongest shield for nothing; it wasn't just a boast.
"Impossible!"
Continuously using the Flying Thunder God Technique and Rasengan...
Even though his chakra was running low, Namikaze Minato still hadn't caused the slightest injury to A.
Namikaze Minato felt like he was in a dream.
It shouldn't be. Is the Fourth Raikage this powerful?
Then why was he thrashed for the past two years?
At this moment, Namikaze Minato understood. There was no problem with Kumogakure, and no problem with his own strength.
The problem was the person previously in charge of this battlefield, Aoyama Ryūun!
The one who could thrash Kumogakure wasn't Konoha, it was Aoyama Ryūun alone.
However, even if he realized it now...
It was already too late!
"This old master wants to see how long you can dodge!"
"Boom!"
Always dodging meant there would eventually be a mistake.
Especially since Namikaze Minato's current chakra volume was insufficient to support him using the Flying Thunder God Technique for a long time.
"Nani!"
Under Namikaze Minato's astonished gaze, A found an opportunity and punched Namikaze Minato directly in the body.
"Boom!"
The heavy punch sent Namikaze Minato flying out quickly like a bullet.
His figure smashed directly into a rock not far away, shattering it.
"Cough, cough!"
From amidst the rubble, Namikaze Minato's figure struggled to walk out.
Although he wasn't dead, judging by his appearance, he no longer had the ability to continue fighting.
"Why!"
Supporting himself with one hand on the ground, struggling to stand, Namikaze Minato looked at A with difficulty.
Why did it turn out like this!
"Heh!"
A laughed contemptuously.
"Although I don't know what your Konoha was thinking to actually transfer that monster away!"
Even though Aoyama Ryūun was no longer here...
When mentioning Aoyama Ryūun, fear flickered in A's heart.
He really had been beaten into a psychological shadow.
"Does Konoha think that just by swapping in a random person, you can defeat my Kumogakure?"
A shouted loudly.
The depression in his heart was all dispelled by this victory.
"..."
Namikaze Minato did not speak.
But his expression clearly showed that, just like A said, before this, he really thought Kumogakure was nothing special.
But reality was the complete opposite.
Looking at the one-sided war not far away, Namikaze Minato lowered his head slightly.
He didn't dare to face such a battle situation.
How high-spirited Namikaze Minato was before the war started...
Is how despairing Namikaze Minato was now.
"Enough!"
Seeing that the war had been fought enough, A waved his hand directly, making the Kumogakure ninjas stop.
Although they could continue fighting...
There was no need.
A and the others knew clearly that Aoyama Ryūun was only transferred away, not dead.
If they continued fighting...
Then they would definitely face Aoyama Ryūun again.
Rather than that, it was better to continue fighting Namikaze Minato and these people later.
At least until they had vented all the depression in their hearts.
