I am the most popular character in Naruto!

If Shuimen did a good job, then this appearance is equivalent to laying a solid foundation.

If Minato doesn't perform well, his future may be bleak.

"I think this method is feasible."

Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his fist on the table, signaling to Minato, "Minato, go all out against Chiaki. Don't worry about her getting hurt, fight her to the death, show her full power."

"???"

Chiaki panicked for a moment, "Wait... I meant you can attack me, but I didn't mean you can go all out... Wait, wait, wait..."

"I'll be fine with Tsunade here, but it still hurts!"

Give full play to your abilities...

With just this one sentence, Minato understood what Hiruzen Sarutobi meant.

He has been pushed to the forefront, and is here to showcase his abilities. As long as his abilities meet the standards, his future will be smooth sailing without any obstacles!

"Hmm, not a big problem. Chiaki, I'm going to attack now, watch out!"

Minato's gaze fell on Chiaki, a flash of golden light, and his figure vanished from the spot.

"Hey--"

Chiaki was furious. He felt a dazzling golden light appear before his eyes, and then a specially made kunai came crashing down towards his neck.

"!!!"

Chiaki instinctively tried to move his head to dodge Minato's attack, but Minato was too fast, and his blond hair had a dazzling effect, making Chiaki somewhat dazed and unable to dodge Minato's attack.

Ding

Just as Chiaki's heart pounded, a katana was extended and blocked Minato's attack with a crisp sound.

hiss……

Chiaki gasped, feeling as if the katana had just slashed past her neck, raising goosebumps on her skin.

"Are you serious?"

She swallowed hard, looking at Minato with a determined gaze, and at Sakumo Hatake, who was clearly retaliating against her.

"Please don't cause me unnecessary trouble..."

Sakumo Hatake scratched his head, while Minato withdrew his kunai and thrust it out again.

This time, his attack route was aimed at all of Qianqiu's vital points.

Chiaki instinctively wanted to resist and dodge, but she found that no matter how she tried to dodge, she could not avoid Minato's attacks and could only rely on her body to withstand them.

"WDNMD..."

Chiaki cursed under her breath. Minato's strength had increased a bit too much. She felt that if she faced Minato head-on, she might really be no match for him...

"interesting."

Sakumo Hatake's eyes lit up as he watched Minato's attack. He pressed Chiaki's shoulder with one hand and used the other to wield his katana, constantly deflecting each of Minato's attacks.

"?"

Chiaki was pinned to the spot by Sakumo Hatake and could not move at all. He could only let Sakumo Hatake draw his sword from behind, close to his neck, and aim it at Minato.

That bastard definitely did it on purpose, getting revenge for tricking me.

"Your physical skills are superb; Jiraiya couldn't have taught you that."

Sakumo Hatake spoke to Minato with satisfaction. Although he and Minato had gone through the Anbu trials together, they had never actually fought each other.

This time, his battle against Minato across a thousand miles allowed Sakumo Hatake to directly understand Minato's strength.

"?"

"I feel like this guy is being sarcastic and sarcastic towards me."

Jiraiya gave Sakumo Hatake a slight smile, and Tsunade chuckled, patting Jiraiya on the shoulder and saying, "Indeed, Minato hasn't inherited much from you. To say he's your disciple is more like saying he's my great-grandfather's disciple."

"I think Tsunade is right."

Orochimaru nodded seriously. Minato's talent was very similar to Tobirama Senju's, but Minato was still young and didn't have much time to study more techniques.

Otherwise, with Minato's talent, he could have developed many forbidden techniques like Tobirama Senju.

"Okay, okay..."

Jiraiya waved his hand dismissively, "Anyway, having Chiaki as my disciple is enough, okay..."

"Chi-chan is my disciple, you idiot."

Tsunade gave Jiraiya a disdainful look, while Orochimaru shrugged indifferently. "Actually, I'm the one who trained her. You just gave her an introduction. Anyone could do that."

"..."

Jiraiya covered his face and sighed deeply.

He had a few words he didn't know how to say: "MMP" (a vulgar expression in Chinese) to say. In this day and age, are they even fighting over disciples?

While Jiraiya and the other two were exchanging barbs, Sakumo Hatake and Minato had already been locked in combat for over a dozen rounds. Minato swiftly changed his attack routes, while Sakumo Hatake effortlessly defended against Minato's attacks.

"Not fast enough, faster."

"With this kind of speed, you think you can deal with the Third Raikage? Don't make me laugh."

Sakumo Hatake gave him sarcastic instructions, and Minato gritted his teeth and sped up his movements, but no matter how fast he tried, he couldn't match Sakumo Hatake's speed.

There's no way around it; the level of suppression here is too great, and it can't be compensated for by skill alone.

Even so, all the Jonin present had solemn expressions.

What was "not fast enough" for Sakumo Hatake was already extremely fast in their eyes, leaving them with almost no chance to react.

Sakumo Hatake's seemingly effortless defense appears to be something anyone could do, but the skill and difficulty involved are unimaginably high.

"In that case, I have no choice but to use my ultimate move."

Minato jumped back two steps, took a deep breath, and said, "Watch out!"

"Come."

Sakumo Hatake also became interested and beckoned to Minato.

"...I'll talk!"

"Can you please let me go?!"

Chiaki, who was in the middle, immediately lost her temper.

Chapter 246 The Power of the Flying Thunder God

"This technique of mine was inherited from the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and it is called—"

"Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Three specially made kunai appeared in Minato's hands, each held between his fingers, forming two fan shapes.

He crossed his hands in front of him, six specially made kunai poised to strike, aiming at all of Chiaki's vital points.

"I have nothing else but this katana, White Fang."

Sakumo Hatake casually waved the katana White Fang in his hand, his old companion that had accompanied him through so many years of battles.

"Okay! Come on!"

Minato felt his blood boiling and threw his specially made kunai at Chiaki.

"???"

"Hello--!!!"

Qianqiu closed her eyes in fright, "I'm going to get the crotches of both of you..."

You guys are getting carried away. If you want to fight one-on-one, go fight one-on-one!

Please let me go!

Qianqiu was in tears. She realized that she had really dug her own grave time and time again.

If I had known, I wouldn't have used the fact that I was Minato's target to lure Sakumo Hatake into action...

The person involved, Qianqiu, said: "I just regret it now, I really regret it."

"Very well! Let me witness the famous Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Sakumo Hatake gripped his katana tightly, yanked Chiaki aside, and jumped directly in front of the six specially made kunai.

"Huh? Huh, huh, huh?"

Chiaki felt a sudden jolt of force and sat down on the ground, staring blankly at Sakumo Hatake, who was blocking her way.

Is this really getting to me?

Great! Does that mean I can slip away now?

Ding Ding Ding!

Sakumo Hatake blocked three kunai in succession. Just as he was about to block three more kunai, a flash of golden light appeared, and Minato Namikaze appeared in front of Sakumo Hatake.

Without any trace or warning, he suddenly appeared in front of me.

"Ok?"

Sakumo Hatake raised an eyebrow slightly and swung his katana.

Swoosh

A flash of golden light appeared again, and Hatake Sakumo's attack missed its mark, sending the remaining three kunai flying.

The next moment, almost without any warning or preparation, Minato landed beside Sakumo Hatake and swung his kunai at him.

"Humph……"

With his exceptional reflexes, Hatake Sakumo managed to reverse the direction of his katana's attack and slash at Minato once more.

"not yet!"

Minato's figure disappeared again, shifting to the other side of Sakumo Hatake.
