"When we contain the opponent's troops, I will sneak into Land of Earth quietly and cooperate with Kumogakure to complete the hunt for Four-Tails Jinchūriki."
"No!" After listening to Senju Chen's words, Minato Namikaze refused without even thinking about it.
"It's too dangerous! Sneak into the enemy's hinterland to hunt a Jinchūriki? Or under the nose of Iwagakure! Little Chen, the risk of this mission is too great!"
There was no problem with Senju Chen's plan, and to help Kumogakure hunt Four-Tails, Minato Namikaze quickly analyzed that this should be the key to Kumogakure's alliance with Konoha to attack Land of Earth.
But you actually asked a child under ten years old to complete this plan. Are we, Konoha, homeless?
For this reason, Minato Namikaze felt a little resentful towards Konoha High Command for the first time.
He looked at Senju Chen, and after thinking for a moment, "I can personally lead the team on this task, you..."
"Brother Minato" Senju Chen interrupted him, with the smile on his face still gentle. "Only I can execute this plan. You, the teacher, and Hanzo of the Salamander must all appear on the frontal battlefield. Only in this way can the pressure be strong enough to attract all the firepower of Iwagakure. It is also the key to the success of our plan."
He looked at Minato Namikaze's worried blue eyes and suddenly smiled.
"Brother Minato, how about we go outside to discuss things."
In order to match the strength of Senju Chen and to understand the growth of Senju Chen, Minato Namikaze readily agreed to this discussion, mainly because Senju Chen is indeed quite famous now, and even he has been heard many times in Kikyo Mountain.
Something like "Black Lightning", "Jinchūriki Hunter", "Future God of Shinobi", etc. He is also curious about how far Senju Chen has grown.
Of course, he still didn't agree with Senju Chen's plan to sneak in alone and help Kumogakure capture Tailed Beast.
In the open space outside the camp, the rain stopped at some point.
Minato Namikaze put on a fighting stance, and his whole aura changed instantly, from the gentle neighbor next door to an indestructible sharp blade that could tear apart the battlefield.
"Little Chen, be careful."
Senju Chen bowed slightly, holding Kunai in his right hand, his black eyes as deep as night.
In the eyes of the onlookers' ninjas, Minato Namikaze's figure only flickered slightly and then suddenly disappeared!
The next moment, a bolt of golden lightning appeared out of thin air behind Senju Chen, and the Kunai in his hand pierced his back with a sharp roar that broke the wind!
Fast! Extremely fast! Fast beyond the limit of visual capture!
However, at the moment when the golden light was about to touch the clothes, a black electric light flashed away in the same unreasonable way.
Minato Namikaze's attack pierced a blurry afterimage.
"Brother Minato, your speed is still so pleasing to the eye."
The voice of Senju Chen came from more than ten meters to the left of Minato Namikaze like a ghost.
Minato Namikaze suddenly turned around, his pupils shrunk. He saw Senju Chen appearing there at some point, still playing with a Kunai that had just been thrown.
The battle really begins at this moment!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two figures disappeared from the place at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, the entire training ground turned into a sea of thunder and lightning!
A golden lightning and a black lightning began to jump, flash and collide crazily in this space!
"Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding--"
The dense, seemingly never-ending sound of metal clashing sounded from all sides of the training ground at the same time! Sometimes it appeared in the treetops in the east, sometimes it exploded in a circle of air waves on the ground in the west, and the next second, it suddenly collided with dazzling sparks in mid-air!
The ninjas who were watching were all stunned, their backs soaked with cold sweat.
They couldn't see clearly the movements of the two of them!
Their dynamic vision could only capture two rays of light, one gold and one black, chasing and attacking and defending in disorder in the space like phantoms. The afterimages they left behind a second ago have not dissipated, but I have already completed several confrontations a hundred meters away!
The entire field has been used by both sides in the battle, projecting a large number of Kunai. Both of them know the marks of Flying Thunder God very well. In addition to using their own marks, they also use the other's marks at the same time.
This is not a competition of speed, this is a duel of space and time!
Orochimaru stood at the edge of the barrier, his golden snake eyes shining with splendor. He did not look at the two lights, but stared at the dozens of three-pronged Kunai scattered throughout the venue.
Each Kunai is a spatial coordinate.
And those two people are using these coordinates as chess pieces to engage in a top-notch space game that is incomprehensible to mortals!
Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God is swift, precise, and elegant, like a top swordsman. Every flash has a clear purpose, and every attack is just right.
But Senju Chen and Flying Thunder God are completely different.
His flashes are weirder, more cunning, and even have a bad taste of toying with his opponents. He often appears in some incredible blind spots, forcing Minato Namikaze to passively defend. His style is more like an assassin hiding in the dark, and every time he appears, he carries deadly murderous intent!
Boom!
A black flash suddenly appeared above Minato Namikaze's head, and a high-speed rotating blue Chakra sphere crashed down with a harsh buzzing sound!
Rasengan!
A flash of light flashed in Minato Namikaze's eyes, and the figure disappeared in an instant, appearing in the position of another Kunai, which he could barely avoid. But that Rasengan hit the ground firmly, creating a huge deep pit!
Before the smoke and dust dispersed, Senju Chen's hands hit the ground.
The ground shook violently, and countless thick trees and vines rose up from the ground, rushing crazily towards all Flying Thunder God Mark points, that is, all possible landing points for Minato Namikaze, instantly turning most of the training ground into a terrifying demonic forest!
Using such a massive Ninjutsu in high-speed movement?!
Minato Namikaze was shocked. He finally understood that Senju Chen's fighting method regarded Flying Thunder God as a "line" connecting all fatal Ninjutsu, rather than a simple means of displacement!
The golden light flashed again, and he appeared at the edge of the forest!
"That's it, Little Chen"
"That's it, Brother Minato" two voices sounded at the same time.
At this time, Kunai in Minato Namikaze's hand was pressed against Senju Chen's neck, exactly.
The Thunder God Sword in Senju Chen's hand was wrapped around the handle by a vine, which was also pressed against the back of Minato Namikaze's head.
Tie.
Minato Namikaze slowly put down Kunai in his hand, his blue eyes filled with indescribable shock.
He didn't lose, but he didn't win either.
Senju Chen not only rivaled him in the use of Flying Thunder God, but even perfectly combined it with Rasengan and Wood Release. That fighting style was more violent and... deadly than his own.
He took back all his contempt and worries, and replaced them with a kind of recognition and dignity from the heart.
The young man in front of him is no longer a fledgling that needs the protection of his wings.
He is an eagle that has grown up enough to soar alone in thunderstorms.
"Brother Minato, now, am I qualified to perform this task?"
Minato Namikaze looked at him deeply. Although he recognized Senju Chen's strength in his heart, he still showed worry.
"Little Chen, this plan is still too dangerous."
"Don't worry, Brother Minato, you have seen my speed. If there is really danger, I will run away." Senju Chen also knew that Minato Namikaze was really thinking about himself, so he comforted him.
"And I believe that no one in the world can catch up with me except you. I also cherish my life. Don't worry, hahaha..."
