I am the most popular character in Naruto!

Sasuke swallowed hard and looked at Minato. Minato stretched out his hand to make a tent in front of his forehead, looked at the mushroom cloud and said exaggeratedly, "Wow... the self-destruction range is indeed very large, but it's not even ten kilometers."

"Because it's only ten kilometers from here."

“Every ten kilometers, I will leave a specially made kunai, which I will retrieve on the way back.”

"Well, this can be considered a backup plan. I didn't expect it to actually come in handy."

Minato explained with a smile, and Sasuke twitched the corner of his mouth.

Whose movement skill can reach ten kilometers?

Naruto's father was indeed outrageous.

Seemingly sensing Sasuke's shock and lingering fear, Minato patted him on the shoulder.

"Keep striving to become stronger, and you too can become like me."

"You're only sixteen, your future is bright!"

"..."

Sasuke opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

Once the explosion had mostly subsided, Minato put his arm around Sasuke's shoulder and said, "Let's go back and clean up the mess, then we'll take those two back."

"Among those who deal with the Akatsuki, we two are probably the best, capable of capturing our opponents alive."

Sasuke nodded silently, then realized, "Deidara isn't dead either?"

Didn't he just self-destruct?!

"How could he die?"

Minato chuckled and said, "You might not have felt it, but I sensed the moment he self-destructed that he replaced his original body with a clone."

"This guy may be stubborn, but he's also quite clever."

"Using your verbal attacks to pretend to be provoked, then detonating your clone to escape, that's quite a talent."

"Clone?"

Sasuke's face immediately fell. He was indeed distracted by Deidara's self-destruction and didn't even think to use his Sharingan to carefully distinguish whether what was in front of him was a clone or the real body, thus giving Minato a fool of his own.

And this Deidara, he actually played dirty tricks on me, that's brilliant!

Sasuke gritted his teeth, secretly determined to break through to Kage level as soon as possible, or even surpass Kage level.

"Alright, you can rest for a bit. I'll bring them both back later."

Minato gave Sasuke a smile, glanced around, and then disappeared.

Before Sasuke could refuse, Minato's figure returned to Sasuke's side a few minutes later.

He was carrying two unconscious people in his hands, one of whom was a red-haired boy and the other was Deidara.

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

Minato shrugged, revealing an extremely relaxed expression.

Chapter 751 Kai and Kisame

In a wooded valley, two figures appeared at opposite ends, standing facing each other.

"I really didn't expect you to choose to fight me one-on-one."

Matt Kai twisted his neck, making a series of cracking sounds.

That was the sound of bones rubbing against each other, like popping beans, quite crisp.

"One-on-one battles are a man's youth!"

"In the battle of youth, I, Might Guy, will never lose!"

"If you ask why, it's because I am the proud Azure Beast of Konoha!"

Matt Kai gave a thumbs up, revealing his gleaming white teeth.

However, Kisame Hoshigaki, who was opposite him, remained completely unmoved, gazing into the distance. After sensing the fluctuations of Itachi's chakra, he revealed a chilling smile.

"Hahaha, that guy is definitely going to die if he faces Uchiha Itachi."

Kisame Hoshigaki grinned, revealing a mouthful of terrifying shark teeth that looked completely unlike those of an ordinary person.

Might Guy frowned. "Hey, you shark-faced bastard, Kakashi will never lose!"

"It's the same even when facing Itachi Uchiha!"

"Shark face?"

Kisame Hoshigaki glared at Might Guy with displeasure. "I have a name, Kisame Hoshigaki, the tailless tailed beast! Remember that!"

"I don't care what your name is! I can't remember it anyway!"

Might Guy clenched his fist and launched the first attack on Kisame Hoshigaki. "Since Kakashi and Itachi Uchiha are going up against each other, I'll finish them off faster than him. This is the duel of youth!"

"?"

Kisame Hoshigaki's displeasure intensified. Why can you remember Itachi Uchiha's name but not mine?

underestimate me?

"Konoha's great whirlwind!"

Might Guy launched a whirlwind kick at Kisame Hoshigaki, who calmly clasped his hands together, methodically forming several hand seals before taking a deep breath:

"Water Release: Exploding Water Wave!"

He leaped high into the air, dodging Might Guy's attack, and then spat out enough water to form a lake, drowning Might Guy.

Before Matt Kai could react, he was swept into the valley by the burst of water.

Wow

He tumbled to the ground, coughed, and jumped onto a tree, staring in utter shock at the pool of water beneath his feet.

This is a canyon, how much water is in your belly?

"Hehe, I was born in the Land of Water, so I prefer to fight in environments with water."

Kisame Hoshigaki landed steadily on the water's surface, looking at Might Guy with a half-smile, and said, "I see you're a taijutsu-type ninja, right? Can you still perform the same way fighting on water?"

"joke!"

Might Guy wiped the water droplets off his face and jumped onto the water, landing steadily. He knew basic water-treading skills, and even though he was more skilled in taijutsu combat, his chakra control wasn't too bad.

"My daily training includes punching 10,000 times in the water. Whether on the surface or underwater, I'm not afraid!"

Might Guy got into a fighting stance again and charged towards Kisame Hoshigaki, delivering a flying kick.

"Take this again! Power Prelude!"

"Let me have some fun first!"

Kisame Hoshigaki patted his back, which was constantly writhing, and clasped his hands together again.

His chakra is indeed ridiculously abundant, to the point that every ninjutsu he releases can drastically alter the surrounding environment.

What's even more impressive is that, due to Kisame Hoshigaki's own characteristics, the change in environment actually allowed him to fight even better.

"Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique!"

As Kisame Hoshigaki finished speaking, a huge shark made of water appeared in his hand.

The enormous shark opened its massive jaws and lunged at Might Guy, who was kicking at it. Might Guy was startled, but he gritted his teeth and charged into the shark's mouth.

"This is……!"

The moment he was surrounded by the giant shark bullets, Might Guy reacted.

This shark eats chakra!

Even with taijutsu, Might Guy would add a portion of chakra to increase damage, but this would obviously be countered by Kisame Hoshigaki.

This guy's ninjutsu... it actually absorbs chakra to amplify himself!

If Kakashi were facing this shark-faced man, he would probably have to run away in a sorry state.

pity……

This guy is facing me. Even without using chakra, Might Guy is confident that he can crush Kisame Hoshigaki with just the muscle strength he gains from daily training!

The same is true.

After Might Guy burrowed into the belly of the Giant Shark, he shattered it with a Leaf Gale kick, and then smashed Kisame Hoshigaki on the head with a Power Whirlwind.

To Might Guy's surprise, Kisame Hoshigaki simply piled up a massive amount of chakra in his hand, completely disregarding the chakra loss, and withstood Might Guy's successive powerful attacks.

This guy looks exactly like Chiaki from before!

This is the result of having too much chakra and nowhere to use it.

"Wow, that's impressive! Let me see if you have more chakra or I have more stamina!"

Might Guy sighed briefly, then immediately increased his offensive frequency.

Punches, kicks, elbows—Matt Kai will use any part of his body that he can use.

His techniques have progressed from Leaf Whirlwind to Great Whirlwind, then to Power Whirlwind, and next up will be "Extreme Leaf Vajra Power Whirlwind".

Kisame Hoshigaki, being a ninjutsu-oriented ninja, couldn't withstand Might Guy's relentless, mad dog-like attacks and immediately erupted in anger.

"Water escape! Big blast of water!"

"Water Release! Thousand Food Sharks!"

Countless streams of water formed an ocean, transforming the entire canyon into a world of water like a natural disaster. Kisame Hoshigaki created a lake on land.

Matt Kai struggled to swim out of the water, his body covered in bites from sharks, bleeding profusely, and his face contorted in pain.

"How much chakra does that require?! That's terrifying..."

"Hahaha, how much longer can you hold out?"

Kisame Hoshigaki laughed loudly, "I control this entire body of water! Whenever you use your chakra, you're essentially providing me with energy!"

Might Guy stood on the water's surface, feeling the faint suction beneath his feet, and realized that Kisame Hoshigaki wasn't exaggerating.
