Minato Namikaze kept flashing and disappearing before his eyes.
The frequency of this spatial transfer—after Yubi truly experienced it, he could only sum it up in one word: abnormal!
What difference does this make from cheating?
Unable to lock on, unable to hit—this rendered most Ninjutsu ineffective and meaningless.
Even the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, couldn't achieve such continuous, high-frequency spatial movement, right?
Even if he could, the "speed" and "cooldown" shouldn't be as fast as Minato's.
Although the Second Hokage was the creator of the Flying Thunder God Technique, in terms of the application of this technique alone, he was clearly inferior to Minato Namikaze.
It was no wonder—even the arrogant Senju Tobirama had personally acknowledged Minato's attainments in the Flying Thunder God Technique. Now, Yubi truly felt it.
Facing Minato, all he could do now was "passive" defense.
Of course—Minato couldn't do anything about him either.
The two were currently engaged in a battle of attrition, seeing whose Chakra would run out first.
Moreover, Yubi had confirmed one thing.
"The current Minato—has not yet thoroughly researched—or rather, has not yet reached the point where he can proficiently use the Rasengan." Yubi's gaze was cold.
According to the original timeline, Minato should have developed the Rasengan and been able to use it in battle during the early-to-mid stages of the Third Ninja World War.
It was inspired by the Tailed Beast Bomb.
But he had had similar ideas long ago—
And now, the Third Ninja World War had just begun. Minato should already be studying the Rasengan—
Even if he had been practicing for a while, it definitely wasn't mature or perfected yet.
Otherwise, he would have used it already—
The multi-stage variations of the Flying Thunder God Technique combined with the Rasengan were the complete form of the Leaf's Yellow Flash.
And now, lacking the Rasengan meant Minato's offensive firepower was severely insufficient.
The Flying Thunder God hadn't been refined to such a profound level yet either.
As for Sage Mode—if Yubi remembered correctly, even Minato himself said he wasn't good at it.
The battle situation before him also illustrated this point well.
If the opponent had a trump card, he wouldn't have dragged it out until now without using it.
"However—this battle is not just a fight between you and me—the purpose of the mission is above everything."
"All actions are for the overall strategy."
After fighting fiercely with Minato for a while, Yubi's eyes flashed as the former used the Flying Thunder God to dodge his counterattack and displace once again.
He burst out directly.
He charged towards the approaching Inuzuka Tsume.
He had been moving constantly, not just to stall Minato, but also to prevent the other Leaf members from interfering in their fight and, more importantly, from locking onto him as a target.
Inuzuka Tsume had been trying to coordinate with Minato to launch an attack.
But even though she used the Four Legs Technique to enter a "beast state," she couldn't keep up with their rhythm.
But this woman—she didn't notice that she had already been dragged into the battlefield.
Blood Release: Piercing Blood.
Yubi instantly lunged in front of Inuzuka Tsume, raised his hand, and a stream of blood shot out.
Inuzuka Tsume's pupils shrank; judging by her expression, she hadn't reacted at all.
At such a short distance, it was even harder to dodge.
Just as the blood light was about to shatter her skull, swish—Minato appeared and disappeared on the spot with the woman.
Seeing this, Yubi immediately understood that Minato had likely marked all his teammates with the technique formula.
Because of their movements, everyone had now dashed into this small hill and arrived at another corner.
Shikaku and Inoichi had only just arrived belatedly.
Bang!
Following that, Yubi turned around abruptly and threw the blood blade in his hand like a hidden weapon.
A black shadow had already attacked from behind.
The blood blade pierced the attacker's abdomen but failed to stop the other party's movement.
The tearing, like sharp beast claws, carried immense physical strength and shattered the blood-colored crystals on Yubi's body—
Yubi wanted to dodge, but Minato had already closed in from the side.
"This guy—hid a mark—"
Yubi caught a glimpse of a kunai stuck in the ground not far away.
Even though he was wary of Minato's use and design of the Flying Thunder God, this kind of space-time Ninjutsu could not capture every detail, and trying to peek at all his actions was still too difficult.
Ultimately—this kind of space-time Ninjutsu was too terrifying under Minato's control.
Moreover, Minato's strength was not just in his use of the Flying Thunder God.
It was also his on-the-spot response and observation during battle.
Being able to hide a mark here meant that Minato also had a certain prediction of the battle's direction.
This kind of thinking was very rare.
Almost at the moment Yubi wanted to reactivate Blood Release to cover his body with blood, a kunai pierced his chest, interrupting his movement.
The fatal blow was completed!
Immediately after, Minato immediately picked up Inuzuka Tsume, who had knelt on the ground with a painful expression, and jumped away.
On the other side, Shikaku also coordinated with Minato to perform the Shadow Imitation Technique, firmly trapping Yubi, who had been hit in a vital spot.
Yubi stood on the spot, motionless, with that kunai stuck in his chest.
"He not only possesses a Bloodline Limit but is also a medical Ninja—"
Shikaku reminded them with extreme caution.
"He should have activated multiple Bloodline Ninjutsu at the same time. Judging by the fact that the speed at which he controls blood has slowed down, it means—his Chakra is running low too."
"In this state, he doesn't even have time to use medical Ninjutsu for defense."
Minato, holding the pale Inuzuka Tsume, responded.
Minato was still very confident in his own strike.
He was certain that Yubi would die.
His attack—had pierced the heart.
Even for an outstanding medical Ninja, unless they possessed the level of Lady Tsunade, there was no possibility of survival.
Moreover, recovery required time.
Not to mention, this was under the premise that he had almost no Chakra left.
"Tsume—are you okay?"
Minato's face was weary; his Chakra consumption was also huge.
In terms of energy and physical strength, this was the first time Minato felt overwhelmed.
If it weren't for Inuzuka Tsume's desperate attack, in a one-on-one, Minato wouldn't even have been sure of taking down the enemy.
However, fortunately—the enemy was taken out.
But—
The enemy's blood contained potent poison; once hit—
Seeing his companion's condition worsening, Minato felt anxious.
He looked at Shikaku and the other, "Leave the rest to you, I'll take her back first."
"Alright."
Shikaku nodded.
Looking at this, Inuzuka Tsume was very likely to die.
With that, Minato carried his teammate on his back, preparing to leave.
However, just as he took a step, his expression changed drastically, as if he had sensed something, and he turned his head to look at the young man nearby.
Just watching that blood physician Yubi, he suddenly exhaled a long, turbid breath—
Then, as if nothing had happened, he smiled slightly.
Although his body couldn't move, he rolled his eyes and looked over, "One trick is enough to conquer the world—the Flying Thunder God Technique created by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, is really played to perfection by you—"
"The Golden Age of the Leaf—hehe—"
Looking at the young man's appearance and the sudden smile, the three people present felt a chill run down their spines instantly, and goosebumps rose all over their bodies as if they were having a stress response.
What was going on?!
This couldn't kill him?!
Minato hesitated almost not at all. After putting Tsume down, he instantly dashed towards Yubi.
He didn't have time to think or delve into why the enemy hadn't died.
His intuition just told him—he must, immediately—kill the opponent!
Taking advantage of Shikaku's secret technique controlling the target, otherwise—
Something bad—would happen—
"Isn't it just cheating—who doesn't have it—"
Yubi flashed a thought, his eyes showing murderous intent.
Thinking this, his pupils immediately—changed color.
