Minato! I've Already Written the Script for You!

It had been less than ten seconds.

When Uzumaki Honoka's voice sounded in everyone's minds for the second time,

a golden flash appeared before Uzumaki Honoka in an instant, like the moon emerging from behind the clouds.

Uzumaki Honoka's Adamantine Sealing Chains had already reached their limit.

The inch-by-inch shattering golden Chakra chains dissolved into specks of Golden Light.

And amid that fading Golden Light, Namikaze Minato's sturdy back gave Honoka an indescribable sense of security.

That Chakra presence, filled with sunlight and warmth,

instantly seemed to bring hope and salvation to her heart, which had nearly fallen into despair and darkness.

"Rasengan!"

A rapidly spinning ball of Chakra formed in Namikaze Minato's hand.

The Ultimate Summoning Beast lunged at him with a ferocious face, only to be sent flying by the high-speed spinning Rasengan and smashed hard into the laboratory wall.

The steel laboratory wall caved in from the impact, and the ground shook continuously.

Through the damaged inner doors of the laboratory, the scorching heat from the volcano crater carried waves of pungent lava stench.

Amid pained roars,

the Ultimate Summoning Beast struggled back to its feet. The spiral wound on its abdomen, where flesh had been torn apart, began regenerating at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Pink, tender flesh buds wriggled wildly, while fresh flesh rapidly grew and wove itself into complete muscle fibers.

Worse still,

another deformed fan-shaped organ grew from the monster's head.

After the organ leaned back slightly to gather force, it suddenly began swinging repeatedly!

Sharp Wind Blades carrying the aura of wind-nature Chakra shot straight toward Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Honoka.

Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~

Whoosh~

More than a dozen Flying Thunder God Kunai shot in every direction.

Namikaze Minato swept the stunned Uzumaki Honoka into his arms and easily avoided the incoming Wind Blades with the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Screee!"

The Ultimate Summoning Beast let out an angry roar.

The deformed flower-bud organ that had grown under the Hidden Mist Ninja's Ninjutsu attacks earlier opened and closed.

Water cannons containing water-nature Chakra pursued the constantly evading Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Honoka alongside the Wind Blades, carrying immense force.

The Hidden Mist Jonin who had turned into a puddle after being struck by the Ultimate Summoning Beast looked at the suddenly appearing Namikaze Minato, a vicious glint flashing through his eyes.

His newly condensed upper body prepared to launch a sneak attack, intending to kill Namikaze Minato and flee amid the chaos.

Then someone lightly tapped his shoulder.

Slap~

"Hozuki Clan bro, isn't it a little rude to interrupt someone while he's flirting with a girl?"

Yamanaka Kei was crouching behind the Hidden Mist Ninja, who had only condensed his upper body.

Though his voice was not loud, the silent way he had appeared beside him had already made the Hozuki Clan ninja break out in cold sweat.

The Hozuki Clan's Water Transformation Technique was renowned throughout the ninja world.

It allowed Hozuki Clan ninjas to become immune to most physical attacks and some Ninjutsu attacks.

Likewise, the weakness of the Water Transformation Technique was also widely known throughout the ninja world.

As long as it encountered Lightning Release, the Water Transformation Technique body would fall into a paralyzed state and be unable to fully liquefy.

"Konoha ninja have forcibly invaded and destroyed our Mist Village research base. Aren't you afraid of starting a war between our two countries?"

The Hozuki Clan Jonin slowly turned his head toward Yamanaka Kei beside him.

At the same time, he secretly began calculating whether he could evade the person beside him by suddenly activating the Water Transformation Technique.

After all, the other party had recognized him as a member of the Hozuki Clan.

There was no way he did not know the Water Transformation Technique's weakness.

Should he gamble on whether the other party knew Lightning Release?

"You're a nameless extra. Why are you wasting breath?"

Yamanaka Kei rolled his eyes. Too lazy to entertain such time-wasting chatter, he formed a one-handed seal and directly cast a Genjutsu.

Demonic Illusion: Heavenly Paradise.

At a distance of less than a meter between them,

the Hozuki Clan Jonin had only just seen Yamanaka Kei form a seal. Before he could decide whether to counterattack or flee, his consciousness sank.

He fell straight into an endless world of illusion.

His previously tense body slowly relaxed, and his liquefied body returned to its ordinary state.

Who knew what he saw within the illusion.

His expression gradually turned lecherous as he stood and walked over to a nearby load-bearing pillar.

With a dazed look in his eyes, he coquettishly posed at the pillar before wrapping his arms around the cold concrete support.

He thrust his hips, occasionally letting out sleazy, snickering laughter.

The Genjutsu Yamanaka Kei had just used, Demonic Illusion: Heavenly Paradise, was an A-Rank Genjutsu he had improved and created based on the D-Rank Hell Viewing Technique, the C-Rank Fox Mind Technique, and the C-Rank This Place Is Not Here Technique.

It was difficult to cast, but its effects were equally overbearing.

It could draw out the desires hidden within its victim's heart and infinitely magnify them.

Combined with an incomparably realistic illusionary setting and multiple disturbances and guidance affecting sight, hearing, and touch,

unless one's spiritual power far surpassed the caster's,

or one possessed an exceptionally firm will, refused to be ruled by desire, and forcibly broke free after noticing something wrong despite suffering spiritual damage,

being caught by it was practically no different from waiting to die.

"Damn, that's an eyesore."

With a disdainful expression, Yamanaka Kei used the Mind Transfer Puppet Clone Technique to control five tiny puppets less than a meter tall and drag the Hozuki Clan Jonin away.

He then had the little puppets secretly drag away the researchers who were either frozen in terror or had fainted outright.

He was very satisfied with how the story was progressing now.

Those eyesores should not stay here and delay Minato's romance!

"Tsk, tsk. There's something here, there's definitely something here!"

Yamanaka Kei carefully shut the door through which he had entered.

He left the space to the handsome man and beautiful woman still battling the Ultimate Summoning Beast in the laboratory.

He was quite satisfied with how the story was developing.

At the beginning, the heroine faced a crisis. At the moment of despair, the hero descended from the heavens, drove back the monster, and saved her.

Next, all the hero needed to do was show off his might and defeat the monster.

Wouldn't the heroine then be completely devoted to him and fly off with him as a loving pair?

Perfect!

"Roar!" "Screech!" "Moo!"

Angry, crazed roars accompanied by the tremors of countless beasts stampeding drew closer and closer.

Yamanaka Kei frowned slightly.

He closed his eyes and sensed the Flying Thunder God Kunai he had previously tossed at the entrance of the research facility.

Using the space mark Namikaze Minato had engraved on the Flying Thunder God Kunai, he cast the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Whoosh~

Yamanaka Kei vanished from the laboratory.

As Namikaze Minato held Uzumaki Honoka and evaded the Ultimate Summoning Beast's attacks, he vaguely sensed a faint spatial fluctuation and puzzledly glanced toward the passage they had come through.

If his senses were correct, someone had just used Space-Time Ninjutsu?

Had Yamanaka Kei used the Summoning Technique?

But that fluctuation...

"The Ultimate Summoning Beast possesses the ability to devour all living creatures, absorb and transform their strengths, and devour Chakra of every nature to induce mutated organs, allowing it to use Ninjutsu of the corresponding nature..."

Curled up in Namikaze Minato's arms, Uzumaki Honoka continuously recounted the Ultimate Summoning Beast's intelligence.

Namikaze Minato had no time to investigate the spatial fluctuation further. He hurriedly refocused and seriously dealt with the deformed giant beast before him.
