Shaoyu reined in the horse and turned around slowly.
"Jiraiya." He smiled, "Long time no see."
Jiraiya gasped for air and stared at him.
"Uchiha Shaoyu..." His voice was hoarse, "What the hell do you want to do?"
Shaoyu tilted his head, as if thinking about this problem.
Then he laughed, a light smile.
"What do you want to do?" He repeated, "It's nothing. I just want to--"
Fangtian Halberd pointed sharply.
"Let you Konoha disappear from this world."
Jiraiya's pupils suddenly contracted.
Shaoyu stopped talking nonsense, the war horse charged up again, Fangtian Halberd wrapped in red chakra and slashed hard at Jiraiya.
Jiraiya tried his best to dodge, but his physical strength was almost exhausted and he could no longer keep up.
Seeing that the halberd was about to hit him--
"Bang!"
A figure suddenly rushed over and pushed Jiraiya away. However, he was slashed by Fangtian Halberd, flew backwards, and did somersaults on the ground more than a dozen times.
It's Orochimaru.
"Jiraiya..." His voice was weak but still calm, "Run..."
Jiraiya's eyes are red.
"Orochimaru--!"
In the distance, Shaoyu reined in his horse and looked at the two men with a complicated look in his eyes.
"What the hell is this passionate about?"
He raised Fangtian Halberd, preparing to give the two men the final blow.
Just then--
A yellow flash suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
The figure of Minato Namikaze appeared next to Jiraiya and Orochimaru, grabbing one person with each hand.
"Teacher Jiraiya, Lord Orochimaru, I'm offended."
His figure flashed and disappeared from the spot with the two people.
Yellow flashes flashed across the battlefield.
Minato Namikaze took Jiraiya and Orochimaru Flying Thunder God several times in a row and finally got away from the most dangerous area. He put the two of them behind a boulder and gasped for air.
"Teacher Jiraiya, Lord Orochimaru..." His voice was urgent, "Are you okay?"
Jiraiya was lying on the ground, unable to even raise his hands. The side effects of Sage Mode and the impact of the blow just now made his whole body feel like it had been hollowed out.
"Still... not dead yet..." He forced a smile, "You kid... you came just in time..."
Minato shook his head and had no time to be polite.
Because in the distance, the red figure has already chased me.
Uchiha Shaoyu was riding a war horse, holding Fangtian Halberd in his hand. The red armor was bright and dazzling in the sun. His eyes crossed the battlefield and accurately locked on these three people.
"Minato Namikaze." His voice came with a hint of appreciation, "Flying Thunder God Technique, it is indeed a troublesome technique."
Minato stood up and stood in front of Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
He still had a lot of chakra and plenty of physical strength. But facing the person in front of him, he didn't feel confident at all.
Uchiha Shaoyu.
This person is too strong.
So strong that it makes people despair.
"Teacher Jiraiya, Lord Orochimaru." Minato whispered, "You go first, I will hold him back."
Jiraiya struggled to stand up. "You are alone..."
"One person is enough." Minato interrupted him, with an unprecedented firmness in his tone, "I am Konoha's ninja, and it is my duty to protect my companions."
Jiraiya opened his mouth, but in the end nothing came out.
Orochimaru glanced at Minato, a complicated look flashed in his purple snake eyes.
"Minato Namikaze." He said softly, "Don't die."
After saying that, he struggled to stand up, supported Jiraiya, and staggered back.
Shaoyu looked at this scene without stopping.
"Minato Namikaze." He said, "You are very brave. But bravery cannot save you."
Minato took a deep breath and held a special Kunai in each hand.
"Uchiha Shaoyu." His voice was calm, "Come on."
Shaoyu jumped off the war horse.
To deal with a speedy ninja like Minato Namikaze, riding a horse would get in the way. He planted Fangtian Halberd on the ground and moved his wrist.
"Then I'll play with you."
His eyes lit up.
"Ten Shadows Technique·E Tu."
A tall and muscular monster with a mask similar to Nue's, black antlers on its head, feathers on its upper body, black hakama, tiger claw-shaped feet, and a snake's head at the end of its tail appeared in front of everyone.
Shaoyu pointed at Jiraiya and Orochimaru who were retreating in the distance.
"Go and play with those two."
E Tu let out a thunderous roar, and its huge body rushed in the direction of Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
Minato's expression changed and he was about to rush over to stop him.
But Shaoyu was already standing in front of him.
"Your opponent is me."
Minato gritted his teeth and threw Kunai in his hand violently.
Flying Thunder God Technique!
His figure flashed and disappeared. The next second, he had appeared behind Shaoyu, and another Kunai stabbed Shaoyu hard on the back of the neck.
Shaoyu didn't look back and turned his body slightly to one side to avoid the blow.
Minato's eyes widened.
Escaped?
His Flying Thunder God Technique is known as Shinobi World, the fastest, and no one has ever been able to escape his attack.
But Shaoyu escaped.
No, it's not about avoiding.
It's a prediction.
Shaoyu's body started moving before he appeared, as if he already knew where he would appear.
"Your Flying Thunder God is really fast."
The voice of Shaoyu came, "But no matter how fast you teleport, you still need a foothold. As long as I can predict your foothold, I can avoid your attack."
Minato's pupils suddenly contracted.
Predict where to end?
How is this possible?
Flying Thunder God's Kunai are all over the battlefield. He can appear in any Kunai position. How can he predict with so many possibilities?
He was very confident in his reflexes, but he didn't expect to meet an equally powerful guy here.
In fact, Shaoyu used Six Eyes to cheat.
Those eyes can clearly see the flow of all chakra, including the traces of Flying Thunder God Formula. The moment Minato activated Flying Thunder God, Shaoyu could already see the direction he was going.
This is the horror of Six Eyes.
It's not that it's faster than Flying Thunder God, but it's insightful enough to capture the trajectory of Flying Thunder God.
"Come again."
Shaoyu takes the initiative to attack, with red chakra condensed in his right hand--Blood Manipulation·Red scales leaping!
His muscles began to swell, his blood vessels bulged, and his whole body seemed to be covered in red scales. This was Blood Manipulation's physical strengthening technique, which could increase his strength and speed several times.
His figure flashed and rushed towards Minato.
Minato gritted his teeth and started Flying Thunder God again.
The two kept flashing, chasing, and colliding on the battlefield.
Minato and Flying Thunder God are too fast to be caught by the naked eye. Each time they appear, they are in different locations, and each attack is tricky and deadly.
But Shaoyu can always react the moment he appears - dodge, block, or counterattack.
His reflex nerves were strengthened to the extreme by Blood Manipulation.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
