Chapter 134: Try Looking at It the Other Way Too!
"He's so strong! That Genin from the Hidden Mist Village couldn't fight back at all!"
"No wonder. Looks like Shinnosuke Sarutobi really did drain a lot of his chakra earlier."
"What a shame. He was so close to finishing him off—"
"But—when that Mist ninja fought our Minato Namikaze, his ninjutsu still seemed pretty powerful?"
"He was bluffing! Didn't you see how useless it was?"
Minato Namikaze used the Body Flicker Technique, and his kunai was already at Karatachi's throat before he could finish forming his hand seals.
"Continuing would be rather rude." Minato could tell that the cornered Karatachi was preparing a large-scale Water Style technique.
If he let him finish, not only would Minato have to expend more effort, but the claim that "Karatachi has exhausted most of his chakra" would no longer hold water.
As Karatachi gave up, Hatake announced, "Karatachi Yagura is eliminated. The next arena champion is Minato Namikaze. Any Genin who wishes to challenge him may enter."
After Karatachi left, Minato Namikaze stood in the arena with a warm, sunny smile. He even singled out Kushina Uzumaki's direction and waved at her—
"What's he doing? What a narcissist—" Kushina muttered, blushing.
"Ah! He's looking at me!"
"He's clearly looking at me—"
"Lord Namikaze, I love you!"
"Weren't you just saying you loved Lord Shinnosuke?"
Watching the lovestruck spectators in front of her, Kushina pursed her lips even harder.
Meanwhile, in stark contrast to the cheering stands, the arena itself was silent!
A long while passed. Even the cheers had died down, yet no one stepped forward.
It made sense!
Karatachi Yagura had already made everyone reluctant to confront him head-on.
And now Minato Namikaze had practically crushed Karatachi Yagura!
They didn't believe the excuse
