JST Chapter 77: When Speed Isn't Enough
🕑 Added 2024-10-14 15:11:13 +0000 UTCThe scene was silent.
Every present was thinking about what Kazuki had just said.
Has the Flying Thunder God Technique been cracked by Kazuki?
From what he said, it seemed like he just needed to react faster than Minato when the kunai approached, and then... just cut it off before it could teleport away.
It sounds simple, and Kazuki did it just now, but when you think about it carefully, it seems that something is wrong?
"What the hell is this kid talking about..."
Jiraiya's eyes were dull, and he muttered to himself: "Are you suggesting that, even in a defensive stance, your speed and reflexes are superior to Minato's on the attack?"
Jiraiya knew Minato's speed best, which was a level that even he couldn't get to.
Even in the entire shinobi world, Jiraiya didn't think that any shinobi could surpass Minato in terms of reaction and speed.
Maybe Jiraiya was right.
But Kazuki was no ordinary shinobi. He was the result of an exceptional combination: based on Senju Tobirama, enhanced by the gifts of Uchiha Madara, Uzumaki Mito and others such as Shisui, Obito, Kakashi, Guy and Kakuzu...
He was a prodigy, a true combination of the best of the Senju and Uzumaki bloodlines, further enhanced by the visual power of the Uchiha. His skills were unmatched.
Although Tsunade didn't understand what Kazuki was saying, the speed of Kazuki and Minato had exceeded her reaction ability. Just now, she saw the golden light and the sword light flashing, and the result of the battle had been decided.
She was never a kunoichi who specialized in speed, and that fight was clearly out of her league.
But Tsunade suppressed her inner joy and tried her best to pretend to be indifferent. She waved her hand and said hypocritically: "Isn't this the talent of an average person? What's so surprising..."
But in her mind, Tsunade had already started to roar and cheer for Kazuki.
Jiraiya couldn't hold it anymore. Just when he wanted to turn around and argue with Tsunade, he saw Asuma's calm face.
As if all this was really normal...
Jiraiya's words stuck in his throat. He didn't want Tsunade to think he wasn't up to par, so even though his face turned red, he insisted: "This isn't over... No, it's not even close to over!"
"Minato hasn't shown everything he can do with the Flying Thunder God Technique yet!"
But no one paid attention to him. Instead, Orochimaru watched the scene with eyes full of excitement.
After completing the Wood Release experiment, Orochimaru found that the research on Hashirama's cells could not achieve his goal, and he needed a stronger talent to touch the threshold of immortality.
Orochimaru was already confused, but the talent shown by Kazuki made him excited again, and the desire burned in his heart!
This is simply the perfect shinobi template created by the Six Paths Sage!
He longed to have Kazuki and study him carefully from head to toe!
On the other side of the shinobi world, Uchiha Madara was already celebrating.
He no longer looked like the feared Shura of the Shinobi World, who emerged from seas of blood. At that moment, Madara looked more like an excited father watching his son in a competition.
In Uchiha Madara's Sharingan, Namikaze Minato overlaps with Senju Tobirama. And Kazuki... now completely matches the image of his younger brother in his memory.
"Senju Tobirama, your dirty trick can only work once!"
Uchiha Madara first cursed Senju Tobirama, then clenched his fists and roared to encourage: "Kazuki, tell those Flying Thunder God Technique users how sad and miserable the fate of those without the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan is!"
The spiral-headed White Zetsu on the side looked at Uchiha Madara, sighed, carefully closed the bedroom door for him, and shook his head.
"Do you want to continue, Minato-aniki?"
That question echoed in Minato's ears, somehow bothering him.
It was as if Kazuki was asking him: Do you still want to compete for the position of Hokage, Minato-aniki?
Minato had a fair character, but cold reality told him that when someone like Kazuki, several years younger than him, managed to defeat him, in a way it already proved that Jiraiya's line was behind Tsunade's...
If Kazuki was the same age as him, it might be okay and there would not be any critical impact.
But Kazuki was at the height of his growth as a ninja, and in addition, he came from the prestigious Uchiha clan...
If the result of this competition is spread, then it may be a chain reaction like a butterfly flapping its wings, which may cause a hurricane in Konoha!
The bets of each shinobi clan, the views of the top leaders, and the allocation of resources will all change...
This is a struggle of interests that has nothing to do with feelings and personal qualities, but it is also the most resolute opposition...
Minato's face changed, staring at Kazuki's smile that was even gentler than his usual smile, and said in a deep voice: "Of course, Kazuki-kun, hasn't this battle just begun?"
Minato cut off his sleeve with a kunai, tore it into strips neatly, and quickly bandaged the knife wound on his chest.
Blood permeated the cloth strips, soaking the green jonin uniform into dark red, but Minato's eyes were extremely firm-
This is the most difficult and most important battle for him as the true first genius of Konoha!
[A strong sense of possession from Orochimaru towards the host has been detected, the target has been linked.]
[A strong feeling of awe from Jiraiya towards the host has been detected, the target has been linked.]
[A strong feeling of competition from Namikaze Minato towards the host has been detected, the target has been linked.]
Kazuki listened to the notifications echoing in his mind, and as he looked at Minato, his expression softened even further.
If it weren't for Minato as his training partner, Kazuki really needed to slowly look for opportunities to link up these valuable shinobi...
But on this stage today, these powerful shinobi were like being beaten into a gift bag and stuffed into Kazuki's arms.
This made Kazuki very grateful to Minato.
So Kazuki decided to show his gratitude...
"Since we're going to continue Minato-aniki, I just vaguely understood something about your fighting style..."
Kazuki said softly: "Just now, Minato-aniki was the first to attack, so this time, shall I do it?"
Minato's eyes trembled, what did he understand again?!
In the short time they had been fighting, Kazuki had completely dismantled his Flying Thunder God technique.
Although Minato did not think that there were other people who could imitate Kazuki's approach, he had inexplicably begun to get nervous in his heart...
Could it be that his combat style had more flaws than he thought?
Orochimaru carefully observed the expressions of Kazuki and Minato, and his interest in Minato slowly decreased, while the look he gave Kazuki could be described as greedy.
'With just one sentence, Kazuki has already shaken the mind of Jiraiya's talented disciple...' Orochimaru sighed in his mind. 'The key to immortality lies in a perfect body, and Kazuki seems to have just that...'
At that moment, Orochimaru stopped worrying about the political consequences of the battle.
He seemed like a scientist in search of the ultimate truth, who after years of exhausting research, finally saw a glimmer of hope.
Suddenly, a thick, black layer began to cover Kazuki's body.
"Earth Release: Earth Spear." Kazuki explained with a smile, as he raised his hand. "It is an Earth Release ninjutsu that hardens the body without losing flexibility. Its defensive ability is strong enough to withstand explosive tags and ninja tools."
The black cloak on Kazuki's body grew deeper and deeper.
Kushina, who was watching from the edge of the field, activated her chakra perception, and her face immediately changed.
'Kazuki's chakra level is much higher than mine... And he's still pouring more chakra into that technique. What is he trying to do?'
'It can't be... this kind of chakra... Why does it feel so familiar?'
Without knowing exactly why, Kushina began to notice a faint resemblance of Kazuki's chakra to that of the Uzumaki clan, and even a vague resemblance to Uzumaki Mito's chakra.
'Could it be that Kazuki was also a survivor of the Uzumaki clan?'
'No, that's impossible...' She thought, as she looked at Kazuki's Sharingan and his black hair. 'He's clearly an Uchiha!'
'Could there be a mixture of blood between the Uchiha clan and the Uzumaki clan?'
Kushina knew this was impossible, but she also believed in her perception, so that her heart became more and more entangled...
[A strong sense of curiosity from Uzumaki Kushina towards the host has been detected, the target has been linked.]
Kazuki smiled even wider, convinced that Minato was his lucky charm.
Minato stared at Kazuki, and a bad feeling flashed through his heart.
And Kazuki hadn't started to attack yet.
As the Earth Spear ninjutsu defense reached its maximum power, Kazuki surrounded his arm with a large amount of chakra.
Despite the immense volume of chakra, it was controlled with precision...
Jiraiya looked at this familiar scene and muttered to himself: "Tsunade, what did you teach him..."
“Of course I taught him everything. My teaching ability can be called that of a genius!”
Tsunade responded very fluently, but under the extremely questioning eyes of Orochimaru and Jiraiya, she gradually felt guilty...
This boast was so exaggerated that even her face was embarrassed.
