You Can Only Save Him Today

One look at Obito's stance told Miya that this definitely wasn't over, but he wasn't afraid in the slightest. Instead, he chuckled.

"Heh heh~~"

"Not happy? Then get lost..."

The creepy smile on Miya's face made everyone present shudder.

Miya was angry!

A vast killing intent burst from Miya and instantly enveloped Obito, making him forget his pain as his terrified eyes went blank.

Miya had used this same move against Shuichi Tanaka last time, and he also intended to put Obito in the hospital for a while.

He raised his leg and stomped down.

Bang.

What everyone expected never happened, because Minato Namikaze blocked Miya's descending foot.

"Hm?"

"You're going to stop me?"

Miya stared at Minato Namikaze with a smile.

Looking at Miya's young face, Minato Namikaze's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly realized he seemed to have gotten himself into serious trouble.

When Miya first unleashed that terrifying aura, Minato Namikaze had felt it from the side, like a cold wind piercing his body, and understood that Miya had lost his temper.

When he saw Miya was going to attack Obito again, he knew that if the stomp landed, Obito would be lucky to escape with half his life. So he moved after Miya but struck first, kicking out to block the stomp.

Now, it seemed Miya had set his sights on him?

Minato Namikaze froze, shocked by the thought that had popped into his head.

"He's already lost. Stop!"

Minato Namikaze looked sternly into Miya's eyes, hoping he would let the matter drop.

A cold glint flashed in Miya's eyes. He pulled an extremely sinister smile and said:

"Who the hell do you think you are?"

Although one foot had been blocked, people had two legs.

Seeing the cold glint in Miya's eyes, Minato Namikaze's heart leaped. This was bad.

Just as Miya prepared to strike Obito with his other leg, Minato Namikaze realized the danger and moved too.

He was worthy of the title of Yellow Flash that he would receive a few years later; even now, glimpses of his speed were beginning to show.

Just as Miya's other foot was about to land on Obito, he rescued Obito at incredible speed.

Miya's kick missed, and his aura surged again. The pressure that had enveloped Obito shifted to Minato Namikaze at the edge of the training ground.

"You can only save him today."

Minato Namikaze understood the implication in Miya's words. He could save Obito once, but not a second time.

Besides, Obito still had to attend the Ninja Academy. If Miya made another move, Minato's rescue now would be meaningless.

If Miya were even more ruthless and struck outside the school gates, Obito still wouldn't be able to escape.

"What do you want?"

By now, Minato Namikaze had forgotten why he had come to the Ninja Academy today. Frowning slightly, he stared at Miya and his astonishing aura.

He also couldn't understand why Miya had such an intimidating aura. Even elite Chunin with extensive mission experience didn't have an aura as powerful as Miya's.

Miya had honed that aura in the Forest of Death. Over more than two years, no small number of fierce beasts had died at his hands, and on top of that, he had the Nuclear Fission Furnace in his body bolstering him.

Was this a joke?

"Simple. Beat me!"

"Then I'll let him go."

Miya licked his lips, his battle-hungry genes seemingly boiling at that moment.

He knew Minato Namikaze was definitely no ordinary fighter, but he was also the best whetstone Miya had right now. His strength had only recently broken through, and if he could have an all-out battle with Minato Namikaze, he would definitely gain a great deal.

"All right, I accept!"

Minato Namikaze nodded to Miya, then set down Obito, who was still dazed, and walked slowly toward him.

He also remembered his mission for the day. He could take care of both matters at once.

"I said, if you want to control me, then beat me."

"I'll fight with the resolve to kill you, so watch out."

As a Jonin, Minato Namikaze had to have absolute confidence in his own strength!

So he didn't pay much attention to Miya's threat and merely nodded.

He believed his strength was more than enough to defeat Miya. After all, Miya was still just a student who hadn't graduated.

Even so, Minato Namikaze didn't underestimate Miya. The strength Miya had shown so far already far surpassed that of every student at the school, and Minato had to deal with him carefully.

Chakra Particle Battle Armor.

Once Miya saw that Minato Namikaze was ready, a layer of azure Chakra instantly covered his body.

He went all out from the start.

Serious Punch.

It was another straight punch, but this one made Minato Namikaze's expression change instantly.

He was surprised that Miya could cover himself in a layer of Chakra Particle Battle Armor, and shocked that Miya could throw such a powerful punch.

The knowledgeable and experienced Minato Namikaze immediately determined that Miya was using a kind of Nintaijutsu he had never seen before.

In a flash, Miya appeared in front of Minato Namikaze, carrying a fierce aura.

Boom.

Minato Namikaze twisted his body, causing Miya's fist to miss. The sonic boom that rang in his ears made his gaze turn grave.

This strength was already no weaker than a Jonin's.

Miya wasn't disappointed when his punch missed. On the contrary, it would have been boring if he had sent Minato Namikaze flying with one punch!

Could this really be all the strength the renowned Konoha Jonin Minato Namikaze, the future Yellow Flash, had?

Bang, bang, bang...

Relying on his superior speed and reflexes, Minato Namikaze narrowly dodged Miya's successive attacks. The sonic booms constantly ringing in his ears made him realize just how powerful Miya was on the path of Taijutsu.

To outsiders, Minato Namikaze was in a precarious position, constantly being driven back by Miya. If he hadn't been fast enough, Miya would have sent him flying long ago.

Facing Miya's continuous attacks, Minato Namikaze felt hard done by.

Who could have expected Miya to possess such powerful Taijutsu? Now that Miya had him tied up, even his extensive combat experience was hard to put to use, because he had no time to form Hand Seals.

Unless he used that move!

But Minato Namikaze soon dismissed the thought. Unless he had no other choice, he didn't want to use it against Miya.

If word got out that a Jonin like him had to use an A-rank Ninjutsu just to escape a Ninja Academy student's assault, it would be far too embarrassing.

He had a means of fighting that he wasn't using. Ultimately, Minato Namikaze still didn't consider Miya his equal in strength.

He still regarded Miya as an ordinary ninja student and treated this fight as nothing more than a sparring exercise.
