In the Forest of Death, the battle between Gin and Minato was still ongoing.
At some point, the two Toad Sages, Sage Fukasaku and Shima, had already taken their places on Minato's shoulders.
Whoosh!
Accompanied by a sharp tearing sound, a glint of cold light suddenly flashed through the air before shooting rapidly toward Minato by the tree trunk!
Seeing the sharp Shinso incoming, Sage Fukasaku, perched on Minato's shoulder, hurriedly called out in a deep voice.
"Minato, to the right!"
Without hesitation, Minato immediately dodged right. His hands remained pressed together, as though he had entrusted every command of his body to the two sages, Fukasaku and Shima.
Even in the face of Gin's relentless assault, Minato remained perfectly calm, without the slightest trace of panic.
After several attacks failed, Gin slowly retracted Shinso. His eyes narrowed with a smile as he studied Minato with great interest.
Seeing that Gin no longer seemed inclined to continue attacking, Minato also let out a slight sigh of relief.
However, Shima and Fukasaku on his shoulders hurriedly whispered.
"Great! While that guy isn't making a move, Minato, hurry and keep gathering natural energy. The two of us will deal with him!"
Hearing the two Toad Sages by his ears, Minato nodded gently and continued concentrating on balancing the energy within his body.
In the distance, Gin's lips curled slightly as he looked at Minato and chuckled.
"It seems that, as Hokage, you really are no longer as weak as before... Are you preparing some special technique?"
Minato did not respond. Fukasaku on his shoulder frowned slightly, his frog eyes fixed firmly on Gin as he rasped.
"Hey, you over there!"
"As I recall, Aizen should already be dead... Why are you still opposing the Ninja World under the banner of Las Noches?"
