Why are you so excellent?

"I understand."

Minato looked deeply at the Shadow Clone Qingshui, slung the Fuma Shuriken onto his back, and then left with the two of them.

Afterward, the Shadow Clone Qingshui looked at the pursuing Rain Ninja and performed hand seals, creating another Shadow Clone.

With his current Chakra reserves, doing this wasn't too difficult.

After all, a single one of his Shadow Clones already possessed more Chakra than an average Jonin.

"I can't let you chase after them now."

Qingshui's previous powerful display had left a deep impression on the Rain Ninja, as he was a formidable enemy who could kill nearly half of their comrades with a single combined ninjutsu.

As a result, they still felt a subconscious fear when facing the Shadow Clone Qingshui.

"Everyone, don't be afraid, this is just a Shadow Clone!"

A Jonin took the initiative to speak, dispelling the fear in the hearts of the Rain Ninja.

"That's right, it's just a Shadow Clone, and we have so many brothers here."

Seeing the Rain Ninja regroup and charge towards him.

The Shadow Clone Qingshui didn't hesitate and immediately performed hand seals to activate his ninjutsu.

They were about to use the combined ninjutsu they had used when challenging Jiraiya.

Fire Style: Great Flame Bullet!

Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!

It was still wind assisting fire.

With the enhancement of Wind Style, the Great Flame Bullet became even more ferocious, its power reaching a new level.

Looking at the massive flame bullet surging towards them, the Amegakure Jonin spoke again.

"Everyone, use Water Style together. Their Chakra, being mere Shadow Clones, can't last long."

The Rain Ninja didn't hesitate and immediately performed hand seals, unleashing their Water Style ninjutsu.

With their combined efforts, they managed to block the Shadow Clone Qingshui's fire ninjutsu.

With a cold snort, the Shadow Clone Qingshui spoke coldly.

"What does it matter if you block it once? I'd like to see how many times you can block it."

It wasn't that his Chakra was truly inexhaustible.

But it was because the Rain Ninja had superior numbers. As mere Shadow Clones, they naturally had to avoid close-quarters combat.

After all, Shadow Clones had a weakness: their resistance to damage was not high.

They would explode and dissipate with even moderately severe damage.

Even if the main body was powerful enough to possess Six Paths Level strength, this fact could not be changed.

Therefore, in this situation, the Shadow Clone Qingshui could only choose to transform into a mage turret combat style.

When another colossal Great Flame Bullet appeared, the Rain Ninja side was somewhat on the verge of collapse.

"Is his Chakra infinite?"

A Rain Ninja couldn't help but complain.

They had never seen any ninja who could use ninjutsu of such scale so recklessly without regard for consumption.

Although ninjas did master powerful ninjutsu, their normal combat style was primarily taijutsu, with ninjutsu only used as a crucial means.

"Everyone, don't give up! His Chakra must be running low!"

It was that same Jonin who stepped forward to rally their spirits.

The other Rain Ninja thought about it and realized he had a point. After all, no one truly had infinite Chakra.

Thus, the Rain Ninja rallied again and jointly used Water Style to block this second colossal Flame Bullet.

"Charge! This time he definitely can't use that kind of Fire Style anymore!"

However, when a third colossal Great Flame Bullet appeared before their eyes once more, the Rain Ninja were completely numb.

He's simply not human!

We're all ninjas, why are you so outstanding?

You're actually a Tailed Beast in disguise, aren't you!

Although the Shadow Clone Qingshui successfully held back the Rain Ninja, one Rain Ninja eventually caught up to the Trio.

This was also unavoidable.

After all, Qingshui's side was truly at a numerical disadvantage.

"Die!"

A cruel smile appeared on the face of the pursuing Rain Ninja as he launched a surprise attack on Minato.

In his opinion, as a Special Jonin, ambushing a young Genin from Konoha would be an absolute cinch.

However, just as he was about to succeed, Minato suddenly turned and kicked out.

It was so sudden that he didn't have time to react before Minato kicked him flying backward.

Immediately after, Minato threw a kunai, to which an ignited explosive tag was attached.

BOOM!

An explosion sounded.

The Rain Ninja had no time to defend and was killed directly by the explosive tag.

Seeing how easily Minato could deal with a Rain Ninja, Mukai Yuki and Sasaki Ayami were full of admiration.

Everyone is a Genin, why are you so outstanding?

What? You say Qingshui Big Brother is also a Genin?

Oh, never mind then.

"Let's go, our mission is to find Jiraiya-sensei to save Qingshui Big Brother and Mikoto-sis."

Having dealt with the Rain Ninja, Minato did not become complacent due to the admiration on Mukai Yuki and Sasaki Ayami's faces.

Fortunately, they had not traveled too far from Jiraiya, and with their speed, they quickly returned to this location.

"Jiraiya-sensei, please go and save Qingshui Big Brother and Mikoto-sis immediately!"

Jiraiya, who was currently training Konan and the other two, heard Minato's words and quickly asked what had happened.

"It's Hanzo of the Salamander!"

"Qingshui Big Brother and Mikoto-sis are currently fighting Hanzo!"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya's expression immediately changed.

Having fought Hanzo of the Salamander before, and even being defeated by him, Jiraiya knew very well how powerful Hanzo of the Salamander was.

He was a formidable enemy that he, Orochimaru, and Tsunade together could not defeat.

Although Qingshui and Mikoto were also strong, they were still far from their level at that time.

Naturally, they would not be a match for him.

"Minato, you two stay here and don't run around. I'll go save them immediately."

After giving the order, Jiraiya first created a Shadow Clone that sat down and remained motionless, while his main body had already used Body Flicker Technique to leave.

"I hope I can make it in time."

"You two managed to last this long, very impressive."

Looking at Qingshui and Mikoto, who were panting heavily, Hanzo's tone carried a hint of admiration.

Under normal circumstances, when facing such talented youngsters, he would have let them go.

But unfortunately, these two had killed his subordinates.

To give the people of Amegakure an explanation, he couldn't show any mercy.

"As expected of the ninja world's renowned 'Demigod', Hanzo of the Salamander. Your reputation precedes you."

Qingshui, supporting Mikoto, looked at Hanzo and responded without losing his momentum.

During the previous battle, Mikoto's chakra had been completely depleted, and even her Sharingan could no longer be maintained, reverting to its normal black-eyed appearance.

In fact, the reason they were able to hold on until now was largely due to Mikoto's Sharingan.

Even Hanzo couldn't completely ignore the genjutsu cast by a Three Tomoe Sharingan.

However, it wasn't his first time facing Uchiha enemies, so he handled it with practiced ease, leaving Mikoto with no opportunity to use genjutsu.

After all, not every Uchiha was Uchiha Itachi.

As for Qingshui, with the significant increase in chakra brought about by awakening the Rinnegan, he still had the strength to fight.

"Hahaha, bold! You're the first person in many years to dare speak to me like that."

Upon hearing Qingshui's words, Hanzo didn't seem angry. Instead, he burst into laughter.

In his eyes, Qingshui, possessing such strength at such a young age, was undoubtedly a genius.

And geniuses all had their pride.

He could understand that.

Who wasn't a genius in their youth?

"It's a pity you're not a ninja of my Amegakure!"

After a sigh, a murderous glint flashed in Hanzo's eyes, and his figure flickered as he charged towards Qingshui.
