The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 263 Knight Kick

"By the way, I thought Hideki you were going to use the Meteor Array to help yourself speed up."

After Minato sped up to catch up, he couldn't help but ask again.

“It does have this function…”

Hideki, who was drawing the talisman, shrugged and said,
"It's a pity that it would consume too much chakra."

"Don't even mention that I have very little energy left now. Even under normal circumstances, I wouldn't dare to travel like this..."

laugh--! ! !
At this moment, a strange sound like boiling water suddenly approached from behind.

Hideki and Minato turned around and saw a red figure rushing towards them at high speed.

The armor on the Five-Tails Jinchuriki's body was seen spewing out boiling steam continuously, pushing him forward at high speed.

Even though the two's movement speed is already outstanding in the ninja world.

But without the help of the power of Flying Thunder God Technique, the two of them are still slightly inferior to each other in straight-line sprint.

"Is it using boiling shroud to continuously eject steam to propel it forward?"

Hideki murmured to himself, feeling extremely envious.

After all, this is actually similar to what Minato just said, using the Meteor Array as a thruster.

Unfortunately, only a Jinchūriki like Han, who doesn't charge for chakra, is qualified to squander it like this.

However, if you can generate chakra electricity and then use other people's chakra as propellant, it would also be a good choice.

So if possible, Hideki really wants to see the structure of this steam armor up close.

But seeing the murderous look on that man's face, Hideki decided to keep his distance from him and continued to control the puppet arm to move forward quickly.

Although it was impossible to outrun the opponent, he could still continue to widen the distance between himself and the Iwagakure ninjas further behind him and seize the opportunity to severely injure Han.

In a short while, Han, with steam all over his body, caught up with them, and the heat he emitted was clearly noticeable even to Hideki in front of him.

Seeing this, Minato decided to take the initiative. He turned around and swung the shuriken with both hands, then quickly formed a seal.

"Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

The shurikens that shot out suddenly turned into thousands and flew towards Han in an overwhelming manner.

"Boiling Escape·Steam Armor!"

A large amount of white steam instantly spewed out of Han's armor, blocking all the shurikens flying towards him in one breath.

However, he did not realize that there was a sword of love mixed in with those shurikens...

The art of flying thunder god!
call out!
Minato's figure suddenly disappeared and came to the big tree where Han was passing.

After kicking the tree hard with his feet in the air, Minato flew towards Han like an arrow, stabbing hard with the kunai in his hand.

"Ok?"

Although Han was surprised by the speed at which Minato seemed to flash, he still responded quickly and turned around to block the kunai with his arm guard.

Minato was about to continue attacking, but he felt the temperature of the kunai in his hand was rising rapidly.

Is it the effect of boiling escape?
It seems that when this Jinchūriki uses the technique of spewing steam, his armor and even his body will become extremely hot, forming a natural means of defense...

Minato understood the principle in a flash, quickly covered his palm with chakra, and swung it towards the weak point of Han's armor again.

"Boiling Escape·Unparalleled Strange Power!"

Han said in a dull voice, and then a large amount of steam suddenly spewed out of the armor, and his body speed suddenly increased.

After twisting his body to avoid Minato's attack, he took the opportunity to punch out again.

With the help of the steam ejected from the elbow, the punch was incredibly fast.

Even Minato found it difficult to dodge, so he could only use the Flying Thunder God Technique again and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Han's brows furrowed as his punch missed.

This time he kept staring at Minato and made sure that the other party disappeared in an instant.

This is not some advanced instant body technique, but a rare space-time ninjutsu...

Namikaze Minato...

As a younger generation who has become famous in Konoha in recent years, Han naturally recognized him quickly.

This also made Han feel a strong desire to kill:
The already amazing strength of Minato Namikaze, coupled with the space-time ninjutsu...

This child is so terrifying, we must not keep him!

Even Hideki, who had just embarrassed him, could only be ranked second on his kill list.

Minato's figure appeared not far ahead.

Han made up his mind, overloaded the steam armor, and raised his foot to give a flying kick.

"Jet Foot!"

A large amount of steam was seen gushing out from behind the red armor, pushing Han forward like a rocket, and was about to hit the water gate.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm such a big guy, please don't treat me as transparent..."

Hideki couldn't help but complain.

However, after seeing Han's steam defense, he did not do it himself. Instead, he suddenly stretched out a pair of puppet arms and clamped the opponent while moving forward.

Click, click, click!
The puppet arm rubbed violently against Han's armor, slowing down his forward movement. Minato took this opportunity to distance himself and formed seals with both hands at high speed.

"As expected, you have to use chopsticks to pick up hot food."

Hideki made a casual joke, and immediately drew the hatred towards himself.

"Boiling Escape·Unparalleled Strange Power!"

Han made the armor emit a large amount of steam again, and with its force, he immediately broke free from the restraints on the puppet's arm.

But Hideki didn't actually continue to exert force.

After all, his puppet arm did not have strong heat-resistant protection, and it had shown signs of malfunctioning in the contact with the armor just now.

Since the task of covering Minato had been completed, Hideki did not linger in the fight and kept a distance from the opponent with the help of his other two puppet arms.

Han noticed that Minato was making hand seals frantically, obviously preparing to use a powerful ninjutsu.

So he had an idea and adjusted his position by spraying steam so that Hideki was between him and Minato as a shield.

Unexpectedly, Minato didn't seem to care about Hideki's life or death at all, and quickly completed the hand seal.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

Suddenly, a large amount of chakra surged out of his body and quickly turned into water, condensing into a ferocious water dragon flying towards Hideki and Han.

Being able to perform such a powerful water escape in a waterless environment, Han couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the young are formidable.

But he felt somewhat puzzled by the sight of Hideki standing right in front of the water dragon.

Were the two not as friendly as he imagined?
Or maybe they are so aware that they are willing to sacrifice the life of a genius in order to defeat him, the Jinchūriki?

Unexpectedly, just when the water dragon was about to hit Hideki's back, the four puppet arms suddenly spread out backwards and formed a small square barrier behind Hideki!

This scene made Han and the Five-Tails in his body feel somewhat familiar.

But before he could think about it, the huge water dragon opened its mouth, swallowed the barrier and Hideki in one gulp, and continued to attack Han.

I have to say that the escape technique chosen by Minato is very suitable. Water escape technique is indeed the nemesis of Han's boiling escape technique.

After all, he mainly used the boiling jutsu which was a combination of fire jutsu and water jutsu to instantly generate a large amount of steam inside the sturdy armor, and then used the reaction force generated by them to enhance his own strength and speed.

Even if the water outside was converted into steam due to the high temperature, he had no good way to utilize it, and it would also lower the boiling temperature.

So when Han saw Hideki buried in the dragon's mouth, he knew there was no need to stay here any longer, so he quickly sprayed steam and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, four puppet arms suddenly shot out from the water dragon's mouth, locking Han's body tightly like fangs.

"This is!"

Thinking of Hideki's strange behavior just now, Han suddenly reacted.

The barrier just created by the other party must be the same type that can stretch and buffer.

Therefore, even if he was hit by the water dragon, he could remain safe and sound, and then he could launch an attack from it and make him unable to move.

But Han didn't have time to think about it, and immediately used his supernatural strength to try to break free from the restraints.

However, the sharp teeth have arrived, and the dragon head made of water will follow soon...

boom!
laugh!
The surging water hit Han's armor violently, and was constantly evaporated by the high temperature, making it difficult to really hurt Han's body.

But his body temperature was also dropping suddenly, and there was no white smoke coming out of the air nozzle behind the armor.

So for a moment he was unable to break free from the dragon's bite and was swept away and flew backwards.

boom!
The water dragon slammed violently into a huge tree, and Han, who was hit first, felt a sharp pain in his back from the impact.

But it's not over yet.

Hideki, who was still in the water dragon, suddenly contracted the puppet arm and pulled himself forward at high speed.

At the same time, the floating gun on his back sprayed out blue light, and with the remaining force of the water dragon's impact...

With the combined force of the three, Hideki raised his foot and delivered a flying kick!
"Dragon Rider Kick!!!"

boom!
Hideki's flying kick hit Han hard, causing the huge tree trunk behind him to break.

There was also a dent in Han's armor, revealing spider-web-like cracks.

Then he himself fell downwards along with the collapsed treetops...

Hideki had a strong urge to finish off the opponent, but he already sensed that the Iwagakure ninja was not far away.

So he had no choice but to take the opportunity to fly forward quickly with Minato and escape.

Fortunately, without Han's obstruction, they were finally able to reach the evacuation point smoothly.

They both looked at each other and felt a little relieved.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, something strange happened again.

A familiar and terrifying chakra burst out from behind them again.

The escaping chakra alone created a strong hurricane, causing the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees to shake.

The two turned around and looked down, and were surprised to see red chakra emerging from Han's body as if it were real.

Then they transformed into the head of the Five-tailed King Mu and wrapped Han inside it.

Then King Mu opened his mouth wide, as if endless chakra began to condense, forming a black ball containing terrifying power...
