Sakura, of course, blindly Sasuke Uchiha.
Although Kushina Uzumaki called Minato a Minato, she was well aware of his strength and did not believe that Sasuke could match him.
Shinsei also favored Minato, even though Sasuke 'Chakra and physical reflexes had greatly improved after he awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
But he was facing the future Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. The two were about the same age and their Chakra reserves were not much different, but Minato Namikaze already possessed the two most important Ninjutsu.
Minato Namikaze was practically born for the Flying Thunder God. Ever since Shinsei taught him this Ninjutsu, he has improved rapidly. Although he can't use the Flying Thunder God Mark now, it's just a lack of Sealing Jutsu. But with Kushina Uzumaki's guidance, this weakness will surely be overcome soon.
Minato flung several Kunai at Sasuke Uchiha, Sasuke easily dodged them, only to see Minato suddenly disappear from the scene.
Flying Thunder God!
Sasuke already knew about this famous Space-Time Ninjutsu. His crimson Sharingan instantly opened, and he thrust his hand behind him.
With a clang, the Kunai was blocked, and Minato's right hand instantly formed Rasengan, pressing it towards Sasuke's back.
Sasuke's body crackled with lightning, his Lightning Release stimulating his cells. A blue Chakra sword extended from the fingers of his left hand, which he swung towards Minato.
A loud crack!
The Rasengan and the Lightning Release: Lightning Sword collided, and the violent Chakra exploded instantly! The powerful force Sasuke flying, and after several somersaults, he finally dissipated the force.
Shinsei's purplish-red Sharingan had quietly activated, allowing him to clearly see the battle that had just taken place.
Sasuke's Chakra control wasn't good enough. If it were me, the Lightning Release: Lightning Sword: Rasengan and continued towards Minato.
Sasuke's hair was somewhat disheveled, and there were small cuts on his fingers from which blood seeped. He stopped Sakura with a stern look, and his gaze toward Minato Namikaze became more serious.
Shinsei grinned silently, probably because he'd gotten a bit cocky lately, and didn't even activate his Sharingan immediately when facing Minato Namikaze.
Minato a little embarrassed, touched his hair, and said with a gentle smile, "I'm sorry, Sasuke, it was my fault."
Sasuke's gaze instantly turned cold, the Mitsudomoe swirling rapidly in his Sharingan. He raised his chin:
Are you looking down on me?
Minato quickly waved his hand. "No, no, no, Sasuke, I didn't mean that."
Sasuke pointed his right hand diagonally at the ground, and a blue Chakra sword extended from his hand once again.
The rapid flow of Chakra caused the air to hum, and faint lightning flickered beneath Sasuke's skin.
Sasuke sprinted forward like a blue flash, slashing down at Minato with his sword.
Minato Namikaze used a specially made Kunai to block the blue Chakra sword, but the Kunai in his hand was instantly cut in half. His left hand quietly Hand Seals, and his figure disappeared instantly, reappearing next to another Kunai.
Sasuke Uchiha raised his left foot and slammed it into the ground. Cracks appeared in the earth, causing the specially made Kunai fall into the cracks.
A figure flashed past the crack repeatedly as Minato Namikaze collected all the specially made Kunai in his hand.
Sasuke hand Hand Seals and aimed them at Minato beside him:
Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation Arrow!
A massive amount of flames erupted from Sasuke's mouth, forming a huge sea of fire.
Shinsei slapped the ground, and a wall of water rose up in a spinning motion:
Sage Art · Water Release · Water Formation Wall!
The wall of water enveloped the three onlookers, effectively keeping the surrounding sea of fire out.
Several Kunai the sea of fire, shooting towards Sasuke. Sasuke retreated rapidly, getting away from the Kunai.
Minato Namikaze appeared next to the Kunai, Kunai changing their direction with both hands and continuing to shoot them towards Sasuke.
Both players on the field were known for their speed, and their figures flashed across the field constantly.
Sasuke's expression turned cold, and he was completely surrounded by golden light. He formed a hand Hand Seals, about to unleash Ninjutsu.
"Alright, that's enough for now." Shinsei interrupted in time, recognizing Sasuke's gesture as an attempt to release the Yin Seal.
Shinsei moved with lightning speed, instantly appearing in the center of the arena and grabbing the wrists of both of them:
"Let's form the Seal of Reconciliation."
Minato said to Sasuke with a gentle expression, " Sasuke, you are very strong. I have never seen anyone stronger than you among my peers."
Minato glanced at Shinsei beside him, as if remembering something, and said, " Shinsei doesn't count."
Sasuke, flattered by the praise, said, "You are the strongest person I've seen among our age, besides Shinsei."
For the first time Sasuke experienced the terrifying dominance of the Flying Thunder God Technique. He couldn't hit it, couldn't catch up, and the rhythm of the battle was completely controlled by his opponent. His opponent didn't give him a chance to make eye contact, and he couldn't use the Sharingan Genjutsu he had learned.
As a disciple of the Hokage, he was certainly qualified to learn the Flying Thunder God, but unfortunately, he had no affinity for this Ninjutsu, and no matter how hard he studied it, he made no progress.
No wonder only the Second Hokage and the Fourth Hokage could perform such a powerful Ninjutsu. No, Sasuke glanced at Shinsei beside him; now there was another one.
In Sasuke's home on Uchiha Clan Compound, the wall that Shinsei had previously damaged has been completely repaired.
Sasuke brewed a pot of tea and poured it for Shinsei. He took out a stack of documents from the drawer, which were the Uchiha Clan's summary of their Sharingan using the Sharingan.
"Who is Namikaze?" Sasuke stared into Shinsei's eyes, as if trying to find the answer within them.
Sasuke wasn't stupid. He had never seen that boy named Namikaze before, and he even knew the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God. He must have a close relationship with Konoha.
That red-haired girl was also suspicious. Yesterday, he actually saw her yelling at the teacher, and the teacher didn't get angry; instead, she seemed to think it was perfectly normal.
Shinsei Hand Seals, and black Chakra Sealing Jutsu extended from his hands, enveloping the entire room.
"Young man, do you believe in light?" Shinsei downed his tea in one gulp.
Seeing Sasuke's questioning gaze, Shinsei said leisurely, "Just kidding, do you know about the Fourth Hokage and his wife?"
Although the Fourth Hokage died some years ago, Sasuke, as the Hokage's disciple, couldn't possibly be unaware of it.
He recalled the information about the Fourth Hokage, including the photos he left behind, and a bold idea formed in his mind.
"You mean..." Sasuke felt this idea was a bit crazy.
Shinsei nodded. "That boy is the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and that red-haired girl is his wife Kushina Uzumaki!"
Shinsei smiled smugly, thoroughly enjoying the bewildered looks on others' faces.
A dimly lit cave, with faint, ethereal light flickering around it.
The cave is deep, vast, and interconnected, covered with moss, and the sound of dripping water echoes far and wide within it.
This is Ryūchi Cave, one of the Three Great Sage Lands in the Shinobi World.
A group of slightly plump old women lay on their sides on huge stone chairs, with a long white snake tail gently stretching out beneath them.
The old woman exhaled a smoke ring, the snake's tongue flickering in the air.
The old woman retracted the snake's tongue into her mouth and sighed, "The human immortal, he's become powerful again. Is he going to return to that era?"
The old woman's eyes were unfocused, as if she were lost in memories. After a long while, her gaze hardened. "No, humanity can no longer produce its own immortals!"
She got up, took out two blank scrolls, and began to write on them with a pen.
The old woman tapped the stone chair with her tobacco pipe.
A middle-aged beautiful woman walked in. She gave a slight bow to the old woman.
" Great Sage!"
The old woman handed the scroll to the beautiful woman:
" Ichikishimahime, give one of these intelligence reports to those annoying Toad, and throw the other into Amegakure."
