Haruki had planned to wait a few more days, but the unexpected came before tomorrow.
The Katsuyu he had placed on Kushina Uzumaki was triggered.
It proved that she had suffered a fatal injury.
Haruki frowned slightly. After all, she was his student.
He couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
At the same time, he felt a bit confused.
With Minato Namikaze, who had mastered the Rasengan, and Mikoto Uchiha, who had the Three - Tomoe Sharingan, ordinary Jonin posed no threat to them.
Haruki began to form Hand Seals.
The Flying Thunder God Technique.
He had previously planted the Flying Thunder God Jutsu Formation on Minato Namikaze.
With his abundant Chakra, he instantly appeared in front of Minato Namikaze.
It was night at this time.
The starlight on the river suddenly shattered.
Minato Namikaze was startled out of his contemplation. His face turned vigilant as he leaped backward quickly. When he saw the familiar figure, he quickly stopped.
"Teacher? How did you... Is that the Flying Thunder God?"
He quickly realized what had happened.
"Yeah."
Haruki nodded. "I noticed the strange movement of the Katsuyu. What happened to Kushina?"
Minato Namikaze was silent for a moment and showed a look of apology.
"I was too reckless."
He told the story.
It wasn't complicated.
After Haruki left, the three of them used the Sharingan. They quickly figured out the location of Sunagakure's supplies.
They should have headed back. But after a series of battles, they had a clear understanding of their own strength.
Minato Namikaze proposed that they could go a step further.
They could directly destroy the location and at least complete an A - class duties.
In fact, that's what happened.
Just then, they received a notice from Sakumo Hatake to Break the Whole into Parts.
The three of them discussed it and started causing trouble in the rear of the Sand Ninja.
In just two days, they made quite a splash.
Everything went smoothly, which made them a bit complacent.
So when they encountered the A–B Combo from the Cloud Hidden Village, they fought them directly.
If Minato Namikaze hadn't broken through at the critical moment and learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, the three of them might not have escaped.
After hearing this, Haruki raised his eyebrows.
Learning the Rasengan in a week and the Flying Thunder God Technique in three days.
Who is the real protagonist here?
"Don't be depressed."
Haruki ruffled his spiky hair. "Do you know who the two people you met are? One is the future Raikage, and the other is the Jinchuriki of the Eight - Tails. The fact that the three of you managed to escape safely is comparable to the feat of the Sannin back then."
Minato Namikaze was stunned for a moment, thinking it was just Haruki comforting him.
Just Haruki, as famous as Tsunade, was crazy strong. It was just despairing.
The three of them still had a long way to go.
"So that guy who loves to rap is the Jinchuriki of the Eight - Tails."
Minato Namikaze seemed to have figured something out. "No wonder he kept attacking Kushina. To him, Kushina's Sealing Technique was the most threatening."
"Remember his name is B."
Haruki joked with him. "When the one you like gets hurt, you definitely have to get revenge."
Minato Namikaze blushed a little.
But he didn't refuse.
Now that he had learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, he wouldn't be so embarrassed next time they met.
"I'll go and check on Kushina."
"
Haruki walked to the tent and lifted the curtain.
Kushina Uzumaki was lying quietly on the bed, her eyes tightly closed. Her young face was a bit pale, but she didn't look haggard.
Mikoto Uchiha was sitting, holding her slender legs, with her head resting on her knees, seemingly dozing off.
Hearing the sound, she immediately turned her head.
Surprise flashed across her black pupils.
She put down her legs, put on her shoes and socks, and stood in front of Haruki.
"Teacher, you're here."
"Be quiet. Don't wake her up."
Haruki put his index finger to his lips and then asked, "Why aren't you going to rest?"
"Kushina couldn't fall asleep earlier. I accompanied her to chat."
Mikoto Uchiha looked at Kushina with pity, just like an elder sister would.
She was a few years older and more mature and steady.
Haruki felt a bit guilty.
Kushina must have been really scared.
No matter what achievements she would have in the future, she was just a twelve - year - old girl going to the battlefield for the first time.
But after this battle, all three of them had grown a great deal.
Haruki walked up to Kushina, stretched out his hand, and light green Chakra flowed through his body.
After a moment, he said, "Mikoto, go and rest. She's fine."
"Okay, Teacher."
Mikoto Uchiha nodded. Since Haruki said it was okay, then it must be.
She could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Minato, you can go too."
"I'm not tired." Minato Namikaze shook his head subconsciously.
Haruki glanced at him.
His little face was full of worry.
He could understand.
"Since you're free, Teacher will teach you a Ninjutsu."
Haruki put down the tent curtain and walked to the riverbank.
"You've learned the Flying Thunder God Technique now. Although it's a bit unexpected, it proves that you do have good talent."
He took out a Kunai with the Jutsu Formation of the Flying Thunder God on it.
"The Flying Thunder God Technique combined with the Rasengan is quite powerful, but it consumes a lot of Chakra. So now I'll teach you a B - rank Ninjutsu, the Flying Thunder God Slash."
After Haruki finished speaking, he threw the Kunai in his hand.
Minato Namikaze subconsciously dodged.
But in an instant, Haruki appeared behind him, with the Kunai against his head.
Minato Namikaze opened his eyes wide.
So fast!
There was hardly any time to react.
"This is the first way to use it."
Haruki put some distance between them and took out a Tanto from the Storage Scroll.
"Watch out."
As soon as Minato Namikaze heard these two words, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Haruki passed by him.
The Tanto was pointing straight at his heart.
It seemed that the next moment it would pierce through his clothes, penetrate his body, and blood would flow everywhere.
"If you leave the Jutsu Formation of the Flying Thunder God on the enemy in advance, you can kill him silently."
Minato Namikaze wiped the sweat off his forehead. He really felt that invisible killing intent.
"The third way to use it."
Haruki took a few steps back and threw a Kunai from his satchel.
It was fast.
But slower than the first time.
Minato Namikaze formed Hand Seals and used the Shifting Body Technique to dodge.
Haruki slightly raised his hand.
Thin wire strings pulled the Kunai, and suddenly it turned into a black stream of light.
Minato Namikaze's pupils constricted.
There was originally one, but suddenly it turned into countless.
In an instant, it was like a blooming epiphyllum.
The edges were all filled with sharp gusts of air.
Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!
Minato Namikaze opened his mouth and exhaled a blue whirlwind.
Crisp sounds rang out one after another.
The wire strings snapped, and the kunai scattered everywhere. With the howling wind, kunai soon covered the soil on the riverbank.
Minato Namikaze didn't dare to relax.
As he was concentrating and waiting for the next wave of attacks, Haruki's body disappeared, and a white flash filled his vision.
A tanto was placed on his neck.
The icy touch made Minato Namikaze's body go stiff.
"How could this be? There was clearly no Flying Thunder God Jutsu Formation on the kunai."
"True or false, the large quantity is just a distraction."
Haruki picked up a kunai behind him. He casually disassembled it, revealing the jutsu formation inside.
"All's fair in war. The Flying Thunder God series of ninjutsu focuses on being strange and mysterious."
"I understand, Teacher." Minato Namikaze nodded seriously.
