Torikaze materialized some distance away. "You placed a mark on me right after you finished advancing. Were you planning to spar from the very beginning?"
Minato said nothing. At this moment, he was focusing all his attention on the battle.
Otherwise, one moment of carelessness would see him defeated immediately.
After all, although Flying Thunder God allowed instantaneous movement, Torikaze's teleportation was even faster and completely unrestricted.
Seeing Torikaze appear, Minato immediately swung his Kunai dozens of times in rapid succession toward his position.
Each slash sent out a spatial blade, tearing apart the space around Torikaze.
The spatial slashes were incredibly powerful. An ordinary person would have had their entire body cut cleanly in half.
But against Torikaze, the effect was far less obvious.
In an instant, Torikaze's figure blurred before dissolving into clouds.
This time, Torikaze did not choose to keep evading. Instead, he charged directly toward Minato.
Minato repeatedly used Flying Thunder God to dodge, while Torikaze burst into a cloud of mist that instantly scattered into several Clones, reaching out to seize Minato.
Flying Thunder God was incredibly fast, but Torikaze was in no hurry.
"Cloud Release—Thunder Roar Technique."
A rumble sounded from the heavens, and dark clouds immediately blanketed the sky. Several bolts of lightning descended like enormous pythons, sweeping across the entire land.
Caught within it, Minato could only dodge continuously to avoid being struck by the lightning.
Watching the scene, Obito and the others could not help clicking their tongues in amazement.
"Even though Minato-sensei has reached the Six Paths Level, he's still no match for Grandmaster."
"Yeah. He looks like he's being chased around with his head tucked in his arms. So miserable..."
They had thought that after Minato reached the Six Paths Level, he would be able to contend with Grandmaster.
