The Terrifying Namikaze Minato

Uchiha Kei withdrew his kunai and stared coldly at the corpse on the ground. After a long silence, he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed that the body before him showed no signs of life.

Ninjas, whether strong or weak, are not to be underestimated. Feigning death and sneak attacks are skills every ninja possesses. Even a super-expert like Uchiha Madara has feigned death before.

Feigning death isn't taught in ninja school, but it's something you must learn. Uchiha Kei himself suffered a loss because of it when he first entered the battlefield.

If it weren't for his good luck, and the fact that the opponent feigned death for too long, starving for at least three days, and his kunai thrust caused Uchiha Kei to perform an evasive action, Uchiha Kei would have been long dead.

Looking at Gari's corpse, Uchiha Kei waited a moment before throwing the kunai in his hand at Gari.

Uchiha Kei's kunai pierced straight into Gari's left chest. Seeing this, Uchiha Kei was mostly relieved. In this situation, even feigning death would likely result in actual death.

Some people are born with their hearts on the right side, but Uchiha Kei had initially stabbed his right chest, and now he had pierced his left chest as well.

"It seems he's truly dead," Uchiha Kei nodded. But just then, the ground suddenly began to shake violently.

Uchiha Kei tilted his head. Although his vision was blocked by something, he could sense the continuous plume of smoke rising, and that direction was Kannabi Bridge.

Uchiha Kei frowned. He wasn't sure if the one causing such a disturbance was Namikaze Minato or that unlucky fellow Imai Kenta.

However, Uchiha Kei didn't care. It didn't matter whether it was Namikaze Minato or Imai Kenta.

Namikaze Minato was definitely capable of handling a Five-Tails jinchuriki; he was the Golden Flash who could even deal with the AB Combo.

As for Imai Kenta, if he really stepped into a trap set by Gari, then he deserved to die. After eight years on the battlefield, if he couldn't solve such a problem, then he was truly beyond saving.

Uchiha Kei quickly formed hand seals. The next moment, a fireball appeared above Gari's corpse. Watching Gari turn to ashes in an instant, Uchiha Kei turned and left.

He seemed to remember who this guy was, but Uchiha Kei didn't take him to heart. If he hadn't been too exhausted and lacked the opportunity back then, Uchiha Kei would have even wanted to kill Kitsuchi.

Quickly heading in Namikaze Minato's direction, Uchiha Kei felt that only by Minato's side could he feel safe.

It wasn't that Uchiha Kei trusted Namikaze Minato so much, but rather that Minato possessed ninjutsu that could allow him to leave this hellhole. Moreover, they had pursuers behind them.

"Most importantly, the effects of the medicine seem to have reached their peak."

Uchiha Kei moved, silently sensing, "Next, the chakra recovery speed will return to normal, and the body's fatigue will slowly erupt. This is forcing me to finish this quickly."

Thinking this, Uchiha Kei's speed increased significantly once more. But just then, another powerful explosion erupted not far from Uchiha Kei.

And this time, the shockwave produced by the explosion had a wider coverage. Uchiha Kei was almost blown away by this shockwave, which showed how large the scale of this battle was.

However, Uchiha Kei did not stop his steps. After slightly dodging the shockwave, he quickly set off again.

It didn't take long before Uchiha Kei saw Namikaze Minato fighting a creature that was entirely red and somewhat resembled a quadrupedal reptile.

Tailed Beast Transformation?

Uchiha Kei thought to himself. He didn't rush out immediately but quietly found a place to lie in wait.

The Five-Tails Jinchuriki's current state wasn't very good. Even though a casual swipe of his claw could cut down giant trees, and a casual punch could leave a deep pit in the ground!

But unfortunately, he couldn't touch Namikaze Minato at all. Namikaze Minato's speed was too fast. With his incredible Body Flicker Technique and Flying Thunder God Technique, he was playing the Five-Tails Jinchuriki around in circles.

Namikaze Minato had been constantly evading. If it weren't for the Five-Tails Jinchuriki's extremely strong recovery ability and decent defense, he would have likely been dealt with by Namikaze Minato long ago.

But this was just a matter of time. Namikaze Minato looked full of confidence.

The two continued to fight. The Five-Tails Jinchuriki, with his extreme speed and power, threw another punch at Namikaze Minato.

Namikaze Minato was very calm. With a light backward step, he suddenly disappeared from his spot.

Flying Thunder God Technique. Namikaze Minato had almost honed this Ninjutsu to the point of instinct.

But just then, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki Han's body twisted strangely. That incredibly fast punch unbelievably locked onto the spot where Namikaze Minato had suddenly appeared!

"Been hit too many times, gotten experienced?" Uchiha Kei was also stunned. He hesitated, wondering if he should intervene.

But as Uchiha Kei hesitated, Namikaze Minato displayed top-tier reflexes. Even though he had just used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport, it didn't affect him in the slightest.

The Five-Tails Jinchuriki's punch once again hit empty air. The terrifying fist wind flattened all the trees and rocks in its path.

Terrifying, horrifying power. Such a large movement was clearly an opening. Namikaze Minato had no possibility of missing this chance!

He appeared from a completely unbelievable angle, a Rasengan in his hand.

He pushed the Rasengan forward. Uchiha Kei clearly saw that there were still many traces left by the Rasengan at that spot!

This scene made Uchiha Kei's heart tremble. From those traces, he could tell that Namikaze Minato was attacking one specific spot with an Assault. And he was actually able to hit the same spot every time.

"What a terrifying person," Uchiha Kei thought to himself. "The Rasengan's power is already exceptionally strong, and now with Namikaze Minato forcefully attacking one spot with an Assault, this guy probably can't take it anymore. But why isn't he finishing him off?"

Namikaze Minato indeed didn't deliver a killing blow. Under the Rasengan's explosion, Han couldn't even maintain his Tailed Beast form. The Tailed Beast Chakra slowly receded, revealing Han wrapped beneath the Chakra.

Han had some blood at the corner of his mouth. He quickly created distance between himself and Namikaze Minato. Honestly, this was the best time to kill this Jinchuriki.

After a moment of thought, Uchiha Kei understood. Clearly, Namikaze Minato had other ideas.

Perhaps he was thinking about his wife, who was also a Jinchuriki, though that possibility was very small.

Uchiha Kei felt the most likely reason was that he was considering Konoha's interests. Killing a Jinchuriki wasn't a good thing.

With that in mind, Uchiha Kei knew what he had to do. He leaped up and charged out. Before Han could even react, he was in front of him.

Their eyes met. Uchiha Kei's scarlet eyes unleashed a strange power.
