"Even techniques like Shadow Clones can be absorbed?"
Minato had previously thought that the Preta Path could only absorb Chakra or ninjutsu, but he had not expected it to directly absorb even tangible clone techniques like Shadow Clones.
Seeing Tendo Pain's outstretched hand already aimed at Jiraiya, who was still preparing Sage Mode, Minato hesitated no longer. He used the Flying Thunder God Technique to place himself directly in front of Jiraiya.
Although he did not know what technique his opponent intended to use, the instant he appeared before Jiraiya, Minato constructed a Flying Thunder God formula in front of himself.
The technique formula known as Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder could even use Space-Time Ninjutsu to transfer a Tailed Beast Ball. Minato believed it could block most techniques.
Yet what Minato had not expected was that Tendo Pain's technique was not a direct attack like a Tailed Beast Ball, but an uncapturable gravitational force!
"Universal Pull---!"
A powerful gravitational force descended upon his body. At that moment, Minato felt himself being dragged toward his opponent by an overwhelming pull. Under that immense force, he could not even move his body, much less his limbs.
Seeing Minato Namikaze being dragged toward him by Universal Pull, Tendo Pain was delighted. He had originally planned to eliminate Jiraiya first, but Minato Namikaze had delivered himself right to his doorstep.
Under normal circumstances, although Universal Pull was powerful, catching Minato, who could use the Flying Thunder God Technique, was no easy task.
But now, Minato Namikaze had willingly taken his Universal Pull in order to protect Jiraiya. In Tendo Pain's eyes, this was exactly what he had hoped for.
After all, in his view, Minato Namikaze, who had mastered Space-Time Ninjutsu and kept flashing around everywhere, was far more troublesome than Jiraiya.
