"Haotian, want to spar?" Minato asked eagerly after finishing his noodle soup.
"Forget it. The Flying Thunder God Technique is too troublesome, slippery as an eel. There's no fun in fighting it." Beichen Haotian glanced at Minato and said without interest.

"It's a very good ninjutsu. Unfortunately, you haven't
