Torei had not suffered any serious injuries. The only injured parts were his forearms, which had been scorched black.
A closer look revealed blisters of varying sizes covering his forearms, burns caused by the heat.
His meticulously groomed golden hair had been curled by the scorching heat of the Flame Wind Bow and Arrow, and even the tips of the blond hair on his forehead were slightly charred.
But Torei paid no attention to any of it. Instead, he burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha! I almost got killed! You little bastard, I've changed my mind! I don't want your Flying Thunder God technique anymore! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to grind every bone in your body into powder!"
With that, lightning once more covered Torei's arms, and this time, it was even more violent than before.
Just like last time, before Torei could make a move, Namikaze Minato vanished in an instant. When he reappeared, he was at Torei's left.
It was where the two kunai engraved with the Flying Thunder God formula had landed before Namikaze Minato used the Flame Wind Bow and Arrow. Torei had also been blasted to a spot roughly between the two kunai.
Namikaze Minato picked up a kunai from the ground and rushed forward, quickly coating it in Wind-natured chakra before thrusting it straight at Torei.
But Torei had been prepared. Twisting at the waist, he swung his right fist directly at the incoming kunai, intending to shatter Namikaze Minato's arm along with it.
Just as the kunai was about to collide with the lightning-wreathed fist, there was another whoosh.
Namikaze Minato vanished again, reappearing at the location of the other kunai. Since Torei had twisted his waist to throw that right punch, his back was now exposed to Namikaze Minato.
