Kirigakure
Hiruko formed the hand seal for Swift Release and flashed toward Minato in a surprise attack.
But Minato merely pulled out a Flying Thunder God Kunai.
Just as Hiruko's fist came swinging in, he used the Body Flicker Technique and vanished before Hiruko's eyes.
Hiruko was startled. So fast!
Several streaks of light shot out, and eight Kunai had already appeared across the field.
"Behold my Storm Release Nemesis Eight-Star Eight-Arrow Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers Kunai Technique!"
As Minato tossed Kunai onto the ground, he excitedly named his own actions.
Hiruko was somewhat baffled by Minato's habit, but after his strike had missed,
his eyes had already shifted into the Three-Tomoe Sharingan. Raising a hand, he sent the Storm Demon Dragon in the sky cleaving down at Minato.
Minato merely flashed away, guiding the lightning from before into the ground with the Ninja Sword of Love.
Although Mei Terumi, the Mizukage, was arranging for the other Hidden Mist Village shinobi to evacuate, she had heard Minato's words as well.
She nearly failed to keep her expression under control.
What kind of technique had such a long name? It was called a Storm Release Nemesis, yet it was just throwing out eight Kunai as lightning rods!?
Hiruko controlled Storm Release several times in succession, but he could not touch Minato.
After laying down a great number of Ninja Swords of Love underground, Minato began to attack proactively.
Locking onto Hiruko's position,
Minato threw out a Ninja Sword of Love. "Super-Speed Thunder Flash Spiral Isshiki!"
Seeing the Ninja Sword of Love right in front of him, Hiruko became extremely vigilant.
Yet he had not expected Minato to merely use that Ninja Sword of Love as a coordinate and teleport above it.
"Damn it! Are you looking down on me, Fourth Hokage!?"
