Solo Kill a Jonin

Seeing Chentian's move, Minato, Kushina, and the Mizukage Yagura all stopped and turned their eyes toward him.

Chentian naturally noticed, but he could not be bothered to care.

Hadn't he gone to all this trouble just to pick up cards? How could he give up just because they were watching?

Purple! Blue! White!...

After making a full round, Chentian had picked up eighteen cards. He did not fuse them for the moment, nor did he have time to inspect them.

Because Yagura across from him was clearly starting to retreat, and Chentian could not tolerate that.

If you don't fight, how am I supposed to pick up cards? Besides, Minato and Kushina are definitely going to win. I have to go after him!

With that in mind, Chentian decisively took the initiative.

"Chidori!!!"

"Crackle, crackle, crackle...!"

With a low shout, a dark blue glow appeared in Chentian's right hand, as though tens of thousands of birds were chirping at once.

The next instant, Chentian shot forward at a terrifying speed and appeared before a jonin in a flash, driving the Chidori in his hand down viciously.

That jonin had never expected a six-year-old child like Chentian to possess such formidable strength. Unable to react in time, he could only turn his head and take the blow directly with his shoulder.

But a jonin was still a jonin, and Chentian's combat experience was far too limited. After being injured, the jonin used a Substitution Jutsu to leave the spot, leaving behind only a charred piece of wood.

The instant Chentian rushed out, Yagura, as a Kage-level ninja, naturally noticed him.

Seeing Chentian display such terrifying strength, Yagura was startled and immediately wanted to kill him.

But just as he was about to move, Minato had already appeared not far away, watching him like a tiger stalking its prey.

Meanwhile, Kushina kept her eyes on the remaining two jonin, preventing them from attacking Chentian.

"Water Style—Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu!"

"Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

In the next moment, Minato and Yagura clashed, while Kushina likewise launched an attack against the two jonin.

Other than possessing an enormous amount of chakra, Kushina did not actually know many ninjutsu. Most of what she knew were sealing techniques.

So Kushina directly drew upon the Nine-Tails. Two red tails suddenly emerged behind her, and a round sphere of light formed before her.

"Tailed Beast Bomb!"

With a sharp cry, the Tailed Beast Bomb before Kushina shot toward the two jonin.

"Rumble!"

The Tailed Beast Bomb exploded the instant it drew near. Trees all around were uprooted one after another before being reduced to dust.

The ground within a radius of four to five hundred meters became a massive crater more than ten meters deep, while the once-clear sky seemed to have been covered by a thin veil.

The two jonin had completely vanished from where they stood. Not even a scrap of torn clothing remained.

"Holy crap! Did it have to be this terrifying?"

Sent flying more than ten meters by accident, Chentian stared dumbly at the scene before him.

He had seen the power of Tailed Beast Bombs in the anime, but witnessing it in person was far more shocking.

If not for the four or five cards lying quietly in the crater, Chentian would have thought the two had escaped.

After his shock came wild delight. A glittering golden card beneath Kushina's feet seemed to possess some kind of magic, constantly drawing his gaze.

While Chentian was amazed, Kushina, Minato, and Yagura were even more astonished.

Though they did not know Chentian's exact age, he looked to be only five or six. Yet he had actually solo-killed a jonin!

There was no need to mention Kushina and Minato. They had been living with Chentian all along and knew he possessed enormous chakra reserves, but they had never expected his strength to be so great as well.

Moreover, the jutsu Chentian had used just now was clearly one created by Kakashi. Why did Chentian know it?

Originally, they had thought Chentian was like Naruto Uzumaki in the original story—possessing immense chakra, but only average strength.

Yet they had not expected his strength to be proportional to his chakra. Both had reached jonin level.

Minato was even considering whether he should give Chentian proof of jonin rank after they returned.

Chentian had no idea how shocked they were. After the Chidori injured that jonin, the man happened to step onto one of Chentian's explosive tags.

The next moment, a thunderous blast rang out, and the jonin was reduced to nothing.

"Hahaha! I'm rich, I'm rich!"

Chentian paid no attention to Minato and Kushina ganging up on Yagura.

Instead, he ran wildly around the battlefield alone with a huge grin, picking up card after card. Only after he collected the golden card dropped by Kushina did he finally stop.

All that remained was to wait until Minato and the others finished fighting, then pick up all the cards dropped by the three of them.

It would be best if they could kill Yagura. That would definitely produce a huge haul!

But that was just wishful thinking. Chentian knew full well that Minato would not do that.

If Chentian had not suddenly attacked, Minato would have let Yagura leave long ago.

"Now comes the happiest part—fusion!"

After glancing at Minato and Kushina's overwhelming advantage, Chentian turned and began inspecting the cards.

[White card: Strength +1. Fuse?]

[Blue card: Chakra +10. Fuse?]

[Purple card: Water Style—Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave. Fuse?]

[Purple card: Water Style—Water Wall. Fuse?]

...

[Golden card: Tailed Beast Bomb. Fuse?]

After inspecting more than twenty cards, Chentian's grin nearly split his face.

"Fuse them. Fuse them all!"

At his command, Chentian felt as though his head had been struck by a sledgehammer, filled with both pain and tingling numbness.

Previously, he had fused jutsu one at a time, so he had never experienced such a strong reaction. But now, fusing so many jutsu at once flooded his mind with too much knowledge, causing this sensation.

It took a full three minutes before Chentian finally recovered and emerged from that miserable state.

Feeling the even greater power in his body, Chentian was brimming with confidence. He was certain he could save Minato and Kushina during the Nine-Tails' attack.

Besides, Rin had not died now. It was uncertain whether the Nine-Tails' attack would even happen.

But Chentian failed to notice that Kakashi and Rin Nohara had returned at some point. They were hiding nearby and had watched the entire battle.

Their gazes were fixed firmly on Chentian, their eyes filled with confusion, shock, and horror.

A rare fighting spirit even rose in Kakashi's eyes. Though it vanished in an instant, Rin Nohara beside him noticed it.
