Notebook Thunder Fights Chapter 9

"You're strong, but I carry far more on my shoulders, so I won't lose."

After a brief clash between Minato Namikaze and the A-B Combo, Killer B's head had nearly been skewered.

But Killer B had also nearly pierced Minato's abdomen.

Whoosh, whoosh—!

This was a contest between movement speed and attack speed.

Bang, bang—!

Boom—!

Crackle, crackle—!

Seeing that the A-B Combo and Minato were locked in an evenly matched battle, some of the others from Kumogakure could no longer sit still.

Whoosh!~

One Jonin tried to secretly provide support. After the others received the signal, they also prepared to attack the rest of Konoha's forces.

Their mission this time was to hunt down Konoha's troops.

As long as they killed the others, Minato Namikaze alone would have no way to defeat all of them.

Swish, swish—!

Pfft, pfft!~

Several Shuriken flew out toward the leading Jonin, stopping him from using a ninjutsu.

"Your opponents are us. Don't go supporting the battle over there."

With a whoosh, Goenji appeared in front of the Jonin.

The other Konoha ninja also made their moves, blocking them off.

"Someone from the Uchiha clan? Hmph. Even if we can't take down the Yellow Flash, taking you down would still be worthwhile."

The leading Cloud Ninja Jonin's eyes lit up when he saw Goenji's eyes.

If they could dig out an Uchiha's eyes, Kumogakure would not be losing out.

Goenji sighed. "Looks like you've never experienced the power of the Uchiha."

His Sharingan slowly spun as he locked eyes with the ninja across from him.

"Don't look into his eyes!" the Cloud Ninja Jonin shouted.

The other ninja all used their own methods to avoid Goenji's Sharingan.

The Uchiha were famous far and wide, and Genjutsu was their specialty.

Thus, they all had their own ways of dealing with it.

"You think all of the Uchiha's power lies in their eyes? Seriously!"

The Body Flicker Technique Goenji had trained these past days unfolded at full speed.

With a whoosh, he appeared before the Cloud Ninja. With a clang, his short blade left its sheath and thrust straight toward the Cloud Ninja Jonin's chest.

Clang, clang—!

The Cloud Ninja was no easy opponent. The blade on his back instantly left its sheath, blocking the attack.

In an instant, the two exchanged countless close-range blows.

"A Cloud Ninja Jonin really can't be underestimated."

As Goenji fought his opponent, he quickly began to feel the pressure.

Despite having the Sharingan, only when he truly fought a Jonin did he realize how troublesome one could be.

Whether in combat experience or basic abilities, this Jonin was outstanding.

He had no weaknesses at all.

Moreover, he could calmly deal with both Genjutsu and Taijutsu attacks.

It made Goenji understand that a Jonin's strength could not be underestimated.

Of course. Jonin were among a village's upper ranks and one of its greatest fighting forces. How could they be dealt with so easily?

Naturally, it was also because Goenji was not strong enough yet.

Although he had the Sharingan, he had possessed it for too short a time and had not grown quickly enough.

The fact that he could suppress a Jonin was entirely thanks to the Sharingan.

But Goenji's attacks were not without effect.

After fighting for a while, his exceptional mind quickly figured out his opponent's Taijutsu attack patterns.

Then, using his powerful Body Flicker Technique, he perfectly applied his own combat system and began suppressing the Cloud Ninja.

Lightning Release: Sandamuruto.

Tiger—Snake—Tiger—Snake—Tiger...

After Goenji suppressed the Cloud Ninja's Taijutsu, the latter began using Lightning Release.

Two spheres of lightning appeared in his hands, emitting erratic arcs as they attacked Goenji.

Fire Release: Dragon Flame Jutsu.

Goenji did not have the Lightning nature, so he naturally could not copy Lightning Release. Facing his opponent's Lightning Release, he unleashed an enormous dragon-shaped flame.

Boom—!

The immense impact of the two ninjutsu blasted apart the surrounding area.

Trees snapped, and earth was thrown into the air.

While the two Jonin-level fighters battled, the others were fighting as well.

Aside from Goenji, who no longer had any teammates, everyone else fought in groups.

Their battles were equally intense.

Minato Namikaze looked at the A-B Combo. "How about we end things here today? Otherwise, both sides may suffer severe casualties."

His gaze had already fallen upon the warriors fighting nearby.

If this continued, Konoha would lose even more strength.

For the moment, he had no way to defeat the A-B Combo either.

"Hmph. Since you've said so, we'll stop here today." Notebook Thunder was hot-tempered, but even he had to admit that he and his brother had gained no advantage whatsoever against the Yellow Flash.

One lapse in attention could even cost them their lives.

This was the hardest battle the A-B Combo had faced since its formation.

"Yo, yo, yo, today's battle is done, you're pretty good..."

Killer B began rapping at Minato Namikaze.

He even danced as he did so.

"Big brother, over there..." Then he noticed the other side. Flames blazed around a Konoha ninja's fist, and even just watching made it obvious that it was an extremely powerful ninjutsu.

Notebook Thunder frowned at this and turned to see the scene as well.

Crackle, crackle!

Lightning Release Chakra Mode activated, and he instantly rushed toward Goenji.

Fire Release: Fire Dragon's Iron Fist.

After fighting for some time, Goenji finally found an opening in his opponent's defenses by using the Sharingan's dynamic vision and exploiting the other man's wariness of Genjutsu.

The flames gathered around his right hand compressed the air.

They were aimed at the Cloud Ninja's body.

"I wonder if you can withstand the test of my new ninjutsu."

Goenji had great confidence in his new technique. Not only was it fast in actual combat, its attacking power was also ferocious.

This was also its first real battle.

But he felt there would be no problem.

The Cloud Ninja's eyes widened. His combat instincts as a Jonin still allowed him to make the best possible defense. Lightning spheres gathered in both hands as he prepared to meet attack with attack.

He knew the opponent's attack was powerful, but he had already lost his chance to counterattack.

Goenji had used Shuriken and traps to seal off his movement routes, locking him down before unleashing the ninjutsu.

Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop.

Crackle, crackle!

At that moment, Goenji's alertness flared. He saw a person as fast as lightning attacking him.

Through the Sharingan, that speed gradually slowed.

The Fourth Raikage?

What was Minato doing?

He had no time to worry about that. The moment he saw the Fourth Raikage, he knew he would not be able to kill this Jonin.

What a pity.

With a step, he changed the direction of his attack and faced the Fourth Raikage.

"So what if you're the Fourth Raikage? You're only young right now. I can block this."

Goenji's eyes spun as he watched Notebook Thunder's hand chop. He could not evade it with the Body Flicker Technique; he was not as fast as Notebook Thunder.

He could only meet ninjutsu with ninjutsu and weaken Notebook Thunder's technique.

Boom—!

It sounded fast, but it happened in only an instant. Their attacks collided and locked together.

A hand filled with lightning.

A hand filled with flames.

They collided, producing a violent roar.

Crackle, crackle!

Feeling the overwhelming force in that hand, Goenji released Fire Dragon's Iron Fist. Then, using the force-dispersing effect of his ninjutsu, he sent himself flying backward.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

He crashed through countless branches, and only after using various things to cushion his fall did he finally regain his footing atop a tree.
