Remembering Minato's terrible naming sense, Uchiha Shingen settled on the new move's name himself, forcing the long string of meaningless, flashy terms right back down Minato's throat.
Unwilling to give up, Minato insisted, "Junior brother, I think-"
"I don't care what you think. I care what I think."
With that, Uchiha Shingen stopped dwelling on the new move's name. He swung Kotetsu, then became a blur as he charged toward the distant Third Raikage.
The latter noticed, but merely glanced at Uchiha Shingen before focusing his attention on Minato.
The Third Raikage considered, That blond brat's Space-Time Ninjutsu is too troublesome.
Unless I can get past that, continuing this fight will only mean he can't break my defenses and my attacks can't hit him.
This battle is nothing but a pointless deadlock.
The Third Raikage had tremendous confidence in his own strength.
He believed that, apart from Iwagakure's Ōnoki's Dust Release, no ninjutsu in the Shinobi World could penetrate his lightning armor.
Add to that the speed of Lightning Release Chakra Mode and the penetrating power of his spear-hand thrust.
In terms of overall fighting strength in the current Shinobi World, he should even rank above that old fellow Ōnoki!
Yet by this point in the battle, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer B, had fallen, Dodai had been severely wounded by Kakashi, and even his own defenses had nearly been broken by Mifune's earlier slash.
At this stage, Konoha's three-man squad had proved far more troublesome than the Third Raikage had expected.
If the fighting continued, not only would he fail to defeat the Konoha squad, but even the Anbu squad he had brought might perish here.
He had to eliminate that blond brat!
His lightning armor would block that Uchiha brat's blade, and his spear-hand thrust would kill the blond!
