Rin's cheeks flushed slightly at Shisui's words. She secretly glanced at Long Ye and, seeing his calm expression, sighed in relief, yet for some reason felt a little disappointed.

She did not refuse the sealing scroll Long Ye had given her. After learning what it did, she carefully put it away.

Although she had no idea what genjutsu was sealed inside or how powerful it was.

With Long Ye and Shisui joining them, the group no longer had the slightest concern about the road ahead, and their pace increased by a third.

After leaving the Divine Tree Forest and entering the plains, they traveled for about another hour. The morning sun rose above the horizon, and a new day began.

"Look! There's someone fighting up ahead!"

Someone in the group called out in a low voice.

"Could they be here to assassinate us too? But then who's stopping the assassins?"

Question after question filled everyone's hearts.

"What incredible speed!"

Shisui exclaimed in shock.

Even Body Flicker Shisui was amazed by the combatants' speed. Clearly, their Body Flicker Technique was at least no weaker than his own.

"The Yellow Flash! It's Teacher Minato!!"

Rin's spirits lifted when she saw a flash of golden light.

Long Ye nodded. "Who is Minato Namikaze's opponent? Their speed is terrifying too!"

"There are two of them, and they're using Lightning Release!"

Shisui's Three-Tomoe Sharingan appeared as he stared at the fierce battle several hundred meters away.

Suddenly!

Boom!

Three figures revealed themselves as they collided and separated in an instant.

It was indeed Minato Namikaze.

But at that moment, two burly men stood in front of and behind him. Lightning surged from their hands as they assumed a charging stance.

"Double Lariat!"

The two figures vanished from where they stood. In one-third of a blink, they had switched positions, while Minato Namikaze, who had been attacked between them, seemed not to have dodged at all and was still standing in place.

"As expected of Minato Namikaze!!"

Shisui praised him sincerely.

Others might not have seen what had happened with their naked eyes, but his Sharingan had captured everything clearly.

Although the Double Lariat was impossibly fast, Minato Namikaze had still dodged the attack with ease.

It was a space-time ninjutsu. With a single flicker, he had completed both his disappearance and reappearance.

His timing had also been precise to the utmost degree.

The instant he disappeared was exactly when the two men's attacks reached him.

After dodging, he reappeared in an instant, giving the impression that he had never vanished or dodged at all, because his speed had already surpassed the limits of what the human eye could recognize.

"No wonder they call you the Yellow Flash! Until now, whenever our combination ninjutsu was used, it had never left a survivor. You're the first person to dodge it and remain completely unharmed."

A man wearing dark sunglasses and carrying seven swords stared solemnly at Minato Namikaze.

"So it's those two."

Shisui turned his head and glanced at Long Ye.

Long Ye did not answer. He transformed into a streak of blue lightning and shot across the sky, while Shisui used the Body Flicker Technique and vanished in a blur.

"Who are those two?" Obito asked, unable to suppress his curiosity.

"It couldn't be more obvious. They're the second invincible combo to become famous throughout the Shinobi World in the past year, after the Long Ye and Shisui combo—Killer B and A!"

Kakashi's expression grew solemn.

The Double Lariat just now had dealt him a tremendous psychological shock. He believed that if he had been standing in Minato Namikaze's position, he would definitely have died.

When Rin saw Long Ye charge forward, worry filled her eyes.

She knew Long Ye would not lose, but after hearing that his opponents were the two renowned powerhouses of the Shinobi World, she could not help feeling anxious.

"Huh?"

Killer B and A seemed to sense something and turned their heads.

"The Blue Flash!"

The moment the incoming lightning appeared in their vision, Long Ye was already standing beside Minato Namikaze. Almost at the same time, Shisui materialized beside them.

"Lord Minato, leave this to us. You have a mission, so go ahead," Long Ye said.

Minato Namikaze had naturally sensed Long Ye's group long ago and was not surprised by their sudden appearance.

"Kirigakure has dispatched thirty Jonin to reinforce the front line. The several thousand people at Konoha's front line are in danger of being wiped out. I have to get there immediately. I'll leave this place to you."

Long Ye and Shisui nodded calmly.

Minato Namikaze flashed away.

"Trying to leave? You'll have to get past the two of us first!"

A activated his Lightning Release Armor, concentrating chakra throughout his body and enhancing its physical activity. He then used his unique Lightning Body Flicker, moving so fast that he was no slower than Minato Namikaze.

Long Ye had already been prepared for the two of them to attack. The instant A spoke, he moved, his body turning into a streak of lightning as he flashed toward the pursuing A.

"If you dare to stand in my way, you'd better be prepared to die."

"Guillotine Drop!!"

He concentrated Lightning Release chakra on his elbow and struck Long Ye at astonishing speed.

Long Ye neither dodged nor retreated. His fist became completely electrified. The electricity was only on the surface; hidden within it was the lethal Explosion Release.

The two bolts of lightning collided without any fancy movements.

Boom!!!

The ground shattered across a wide area, while a mushroom-shaped shock wave rolled upward.

The powerful explosive shock wave sent Shisui and Killer B, who had been watching the battle, flying backward.

Within two hundred meters, a terrifying depression appeared. The vegetation turned to ash, and the earth became scorched.

"What terrifying power!"

The group behind them was blasted by the dust kicked up by the explosive shock wave, leaving them covered in grime and utterly disheveled. But when they saw the scene in the distance, cold sweat broke out on everyone's foreheads.

At the center of the clash, Long Ye had not taken a single step back. His opponent, on the other hand, had been blasted backward by his Explosion Release.

A's Lightning Release Armor possessed astonishing defensive power. In close combat, it had endured a direct hit from Explosion Release infused with powerful electrical currents. He had merely been knocked back, without suffering the slightest injury.

A landed unsteadily. He stumbled more than a dozen times, then staggered backward another dozen steps before Killer B pressed one large hand against his back.

A's face had turned somewhat pale.

He had not been injured on the surface, but the earth-shaking explosion had churned his internal organs. His chest felt extremely uncomfortable, and blood was lodged in his throat. He wanted to spit it out, but he could not.

Minato Namikaze, who had been at the edge of their vision just a blink earlier, turned his head and saw this scene. A look of surprise appeared on his face, mixed with a hint of doubt.

Long Ye's rate of growth had far exceeded his expectations.

At this moment, Killer B and A had been intimidated by Long Ye's punch and had no choice but to abandon their attempt to stop Minato Namikaze.

Because of their brief exchange, they had already guessed the identities of the two people before them.

"If I'm not mistaken, you two are Konoha's 'Lightning Flash Shisui' combo, right?" Killer B asked, fully on guard.

At some point, fewer and fewer people had been calling Long Ye by his name. More often, they chose titles like "Lightning Flash" or "Blue Flash."
