Minato Namikaze grasped the kunai given by Haruki.
He held his breath and fixed his gaze on the two ninjas in the distance.
A and B.
Both of them had dark skin and were of a hefty build, but B was a bit shorter, wearing glasses and carrying two swords on his back.
The fire was roasting the thigh of an unknown animal.
The aroma filled the air.
The two were feasting.
In Mikoto Uchiha's eyes, the three tomoe of her Sharingan were slowly spinning. After a moment, she noticed a barely visible green flash rising from a very far - off place.
"Minato, it's the teacher's signal."
Minato Namikaze nodded slightly.
After several days of planning, Haruki's plan officially commenced.
The duties of the three of them were to lead A and B to the vicinity of the Sand Ninja base and force them to use their full strength as much as possible.
"Kushina, be careful. I suspect they've set their eyes on you," Mikoto Uchiha reminded.
Being a few years older, she knew more about Jinchuriki.
The Uzumaki Clan not only had Sealing Techniques that could suppress the Tailed Beasts but were also extremely suitable to become Jinchuriki themselves.
Now that the Uzushio Country had been destroyed.
Kushina Uzumaki was the last remaining member of her clan.
"Got it," Kushina replied.
"Let's initiate the operation."
Seeing that the two were ready, Minato Namikaze immediately stood up and ran in a certain direction.
Kushina Uzumaki appropriately revealed her Chakra fluctuations.
B immediately stopped chewing. His eyes behind the sunglasses stared forward.
"Big bro, those three brats we met the other day seem not to have noticed us and just passed by."
"Oh?"
A put down the roasted thigh. "The villagers said that the little girl from the Uzumaki Clan is very useful. Try to bring her back."
He casually wiped the oil from his hands.
Lightning flashed.
Blinding Chakra emerged from beneath his feet, passing through his body and taking the shape of flames.
The ground abruptly cracked.
With a cloud of dust, he was like a lightning - glinting samurai sword, cutting through the air.
Almost in an instant.
He was already in front of Kushina Uzumaki.
The air churned in gusts, and several astonishing electric arcs circled around his right hand.
A showed a murderous look and showed no mercy. He suddenly brought down a hand - chop.
But there was a sound of metal clashing.
The hand - chop hit the kunai.
Minato Namikaze forcefully parried it, and the kunai in his left hand stabbed directly at A's neck.
A glanced at it. Such a kunai couldn't penetrate his Lightning Release Suit.
Regardless, he raised his right arm high. Blue Chakra enveloped his elbow, like the hardest weapon, and he slammed it down hard on Minato Namikaze's head.
The kunai in Minato Namikaze's left hand soared into the air.
And A's attack also arrived almost at the same time.
There was a dull, loud noise in the air.
The terrifying force was transmitted from the impact point, directly denting Minato Namikaze's head.
But as the smoke rose, Minato Namikaze turned into a wooden stake.
"Big bro, watch out!"
B cleaved Mikoto Uchiha's large fireball with a single slash. The tailbone on his back wriggled, and a large fleshy tail emerged.
At an extremely fast speed, it blocked Minato Namikaze, who suddenly appeared above A's head.
The Rasengan hit the tail. The successive waves, with extreme sharpness, left a bloody and mangled wound.
B gasped in pain instantly.
He retracted his tail.
He jumped backward at an extremely fast speed, like an agile ape, completely dodging Mikoto Uchiha's Phoenix Flower Fire Technique.
Just then.
His body suddenly froze for a moment.
It was the Sharingan.
As soon as the thought flashed through B's mind, several Chakra chains suddenly rose, trying to entangle him.
"What a bothersome Sealing Technique!"
He clearly felt that the Eight - Tails in his body was annoyed. In an instant, Chakra became active along his veins, and a red cloak wrapped around him.
An unimaginable pressure gushed out.
B's speed increased again.
He directly dodged the chains of the Sealing Technique.
Under the Tailed Beast Cloak, his physical abilities were greatly enhanced.
Kushina Uzumaki, hiding in the dark, didn't notice. Soon, B locked onto Mikoto Uchiha not far away again.
Her pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes were intimidating.
But what really surprised and shocked him was the fight between his Big bro and Minato Namikaze.
It was so fast that his eyes couldn't keep up.
They were simply the two fastest men he had ever seen.
It was natural for A to have such speed, so he wasn't shocked.
But what was wrong with that kid? How could he have grown to such an extent in just a few days?
The thought flashed by.
A layer of lightning flashed on his body.
He rammed straight into Mikoto Uchiha.
Like a thunderbolt.
Mikoto Uchiha hardly had time to react.
Her Sharingan barely caught a trace.
But it was of no use.
The next moment, she disappeared, along with B.
"Bee?"
A instantly noticed this inexplicable scene.
His heart tightened, but then he realized something.
"Is it your jutsu?"
He looked at Minato Namikaze.
In just a few minutes of fighting, he had met a worthy opponent.
A Ninja who could completely keep up with his Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
"Let's change the battlefield."
Minato Namikaze gave a slight smile.
He raised his hand, and one of the Kunai scattered everywhere glowed.
Before A could react, he was pulled into a strange space.
Water.
A vast expanse of water.
And there were all kinds of screams.
A frowned and immediately floated on the water.
Oh!
He looked around. On the left was the fight between Bee and Mikoto Uchiha.
With the Tailed Beast Cloak on, Bee had the upper hand.
Unless the Sharingan evolved again, it would be hard to win.
But the unique Sealing Technique of the Uzumaki Clan also made him a bit wary.
In the distance, Sand Ninjas were stepping on the water, exchanging attacks with Konoha Ninjas in the high - ground.
There were many Sand Ninjas corpses floating on the water.
It seemed that they had been suddenly attacked and were forced to fight back.
"Come on."
Minato Namikaze beckoned with his finger.
A snorted coldly and stopped thinking about the situation of the Sand Ninjas.
After all, it had nothing to do with him.
It would be better if they all died.
But... a few minutes later, he said angrily, "Kid, do you only know how to dodge all the time?!"
Minato Namikaze quickly retreated again.
He led A and darted around among the Sand Ninjas.
With A's wide - ranging attacks, within just a few minutes, at least a dozen Sand Ninjas were seriously injured.
The most annoying thing was that no one could catch up with the two of them.
Minato Namikaze ignored everything else and focused on his duties.
Such an exaggerated scene naturally caught the attention of the Konoha Village ninjas.
"Great job!"
Sakumo Hatake was one of the few who knew Minato Namikaze's identity.
After all, he wasn't very well - known at the moment.
Haruki nodded slightly.
Minato Namikaze really exceeded his expectations.
But now he had other things to do.
"Everyone, don't worry about Chakra consumption. Use long - range Ninjutsu to suppress the Sand Ninjas. Don't worry, you won't hurt Minato Namikaze."
Hearing this, Sakumo Hatake immediately repeated it.
After all, he was the commander.
The firepower became even more intense.
If nothing unexpected happened and they had enough time, the Sand Ninjas would surely suffer heavy losses.
However, Haruki had more tricks up his sleeve.
Water Attack and Lightning Release were just meant for Sakumo Hatake to hear.
The ubiquitous water did spread A's Lightning Release attacks.
But he mainly relied on Taijutsu.
In fact, he couldn't achieve an effect similar to the ultimate Lightning Release such as Heavenly Lightning.
Beneath the water surface.
In a corner unnoticed by anyone.
Haruki's clone was making Hand Seal.
It was the A - rank Adamantine Sealing Chains.
The only Uzumaki Sealing Technique rewarded by the system.
He glanced at Kushina Uzumaki.
She was also making Hand Seal, performing the same Adamantine Sealing Chains.
"Little girl, using the same jutsu on me won't work!"
B noticed the chains on the water surface and knew it was that Uzumaki ninja hiding in the dark again.
If it weren't for her interference, he would have taken down that Uchiha guy in front of him long ago.
However, in an instant, the chains accelerated.
A series of loud noises erupted from the water surface.
Countless chains, like spiritual water snakes, rushed towards him all at once.
"How is that possible?!"
A huge sense of crisis welled up in B's heart.
If he got caught, things would go wrong!
He gritted his teeth slightly.
It was just a little girl. It should be impossible for her to really lock down a tailed beast.
In a split second.
Scarlet gusts of air surged, and his whole body glowed with a chilling Chakra cold light.
Thick and ugly tentacles emerged one after another.
His figure rapidly swelled.
A roar echoed throughout the surrounding space.
All the ninjas stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at the huge octopus.
It used the power of the water to stir up towering waves.
However, the chains on its body still didn't break free.
"Damn it! Damn it! B, it's not just her. There's someone else here! There's another person!"
Inside B's sealed space, Gyuki, the Eight - Tails, roared frantically.
