This is a struggle for interests that has nothing to do with feelings or personal qualities, yet it is also the most resolute opposition...

Minato Namikaze's expression shifted as he stared at Aoshui's smiling face, which was even gentler than usual, and said in a deep voice, "Of course, Junior Brother Aoshui, isn't this battle only just beginning?"

Minato Namikaze used a kunai to cut off his sleeve, swiftly ripped it into strips, and quickly bandaged the knife wound on his chest.

Blood soaked the strips of cloth, turning the green Jonin uniform dark red, but Minato Namikaze's gaze remained unwavering—

This is the most difficult and important battle he has ever faced as Konoha's true number one genius!

[Sensing Orochimaru's strong possessive feelings towards his host, he has been designated as a target for confrontation!]

[Sensing the intense shock Jiraiya evoked in his host, binding him as a target for confrontation!]

[The host has developed a strong competitive spirit towards Minato Namikaze and has become his target!]

They're all tied up; Qingshui has finished tying them all up...

As Qing Shui listened to the series of notification sounds beside his ear, his gaze toward Minato Namikaze became increasingly gentle.

Without Minato Namikaze as his sparring partner, Aoshui would really need to slowly look for opportunities to bind these valuable ninjas together...

But on this stage today, these powerful ninjas are like a gift package, all stuffed into Qing Shui's arms.

This made Aokiji very grateful to Minato Namikaze.

Therefore, Qingshui decided to express his gratitude to him.

"Since we're continuing, Senior Brother Minato, I just had a vague realization about your fighting style..."

Qing Shui said softly, "You were the one who attacked first, Senior Brother Shui Men, so how about I take the lead this time?"

Minato Namikaze's eyes flickered. What had his junior brother figured out this time?

In just a short while, all the secrets of the Flying Thunder God Technique were laid bare...

Although Minato Namikaze didn't believe anyone else could imitate Aoshui's methods, a strange tension was inexplicably creeping into his heart...

Is there some obvious flaw in my fighting style?

Orochimaru carefully observed the expressions of Aokiji and Minato. His interest in Minato gradually decreased, while his gaze toward Aokiji could be described as greedy.

At this moment, however, all the ninjas present, as well as those watching the live stream, were focused on Aokiji and Minato, and no one paid any attention to him…

"A single sentence from Qing Shui had already thrown Jiraiya's excellent student into turmoil..."

Orochimaru thought to himself, "The path to immortality requires a perfect body, and Qingshui seems to possess that perfect body..."

At this moment, Orochimaru didn't even think about how the competition for the Hokage position would change after this battle ended.

At this moment, he was like a scientist pursuing the ultimate truth, who, though feeling slightly weary, saw the hope of success!

The Hokage position is like a symbol, a reflection of Orochimaru's past life's value, but what if he were to confront his ideals—

If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening!

I saw.

A dense layer of black slowly appeared on Qing Shui's body.

"Earth Release: Earth Spear"—this is an Earth Release technique that hardens the body without sacrificing flexibility, and its defensive capabilities can withstand ordinary explosive tags and ninja tools...

As Qingshui explained things to Minato, he smiled and raised his hand.

The black covering Qing Shui's body was deepening, reflecting a dark light like the tomoe of a Sharingan.

Kushina, who was watching from the sidelines, stared at Qingshui, activated her senses, and her expression changed:

"Qingshui's chakra level is far higher than Qingshui's... He's still pouring chakra into this technique, what exactly is he trying to do..."

"Wait, this feeling of chakra...why does it feel a bit like it?"

For some reason, Kushina seemed to sense the characteristics of the Uzumaki clan from Aoshui's chakra, and even felt a bit like Uzumaki Mito!

Could it be that Qing Shui is also an orphan of the Uzumaki clan?

"Impossible! How could such a thing happen..."

Kushina stared blankly at Aoshi's three-tomoe Sharingan and his long, black hair as black as a horse's mane. He looked exactly like a Uchiha!

Could it be that the Uchiha and Uzumaki clans could have mixed blood?

Kushina knew it was impossible, but she also trusted her intuition, which made her increasingly conflicted...

[Sensing that Kushina Uzumaki is showing strong interest in the host, binding her as a target!]

Aokiji's smile grew even brighter, and he felt more and more that Minato Namikaze was his lucky charm.

In the short span of time, four valuable and powerful individuals—Minato Namikaze, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Kushina—were all bound to Aoshui…

Minato Namikaze stared at Aoshimizu, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

Qingshui had not yet begun its attack.

When the Earth Spear Technique reached its defensive peak, a large amount of chakra wrapped around Qing Shui's arm.

While the amount of chakra is enormous, it is extremely orderly...

Jiraiya looked at this familiar scene and muttered to himself, "A brat from the Uchiha clan has mastered the monstrous strength of the Senju clan. Am I still drunk?"

"Tsunade, what exactly did you teach him...?"

"I teach everything, of course. My teaching ability can be described as genius!"

Tsunade responded smoothly, but under the extremely questioning gazes of Orochimaru and Jiraiya, she gradually became a little guilty…

She was so bragging that she was embarrassed.

"Senior Brother Minato, are you ready?"

Aozuki laughed like a little sun, returning Minato Namikaze's initial words to him: "Be careful, my speed and strength are still pretty good..."

this moment.

The Muramasa in Qingshui's hand burst into flames, and the raging fire instantly rose to more than ten meters high, with the tail of flames resembling a galloping fire dragon, twisting and roaring in the air!

At this moment, Qing Shui seemed to have become a completely different person. He changed his previous calm and wise fighting style and became extremely fierce and unrestrained. He didn't care about the Flying Thunder God Kunai that Minato had set up and directly slashed at him with his sword!

In the first two rounds, Qing Shui resembled a gentle, bookish young man wearing non-prescription glasses…

The current Qing Shui has the domineering aura of a ninja world demon who looks down on the world!

Minato Namikaze's pupils suddenly contracted.

The stark contrast hadn't quite caught up with him yet; the heat of the flames made it hard for him to breathe.

"Shh!"

Blue water descended from the sky, and Muramasa, with immense strength and roaring flames, slashed at Minato Namikaze's head with a single strike!

After the sword fell, the earth cracked and flames engulfed the surface, sweeping across the land in a raging torrent!

The Flying Thunder God kunai hidden in that area was also melted and shattered, becoming incomplete fragments of the technique…

"So fast!"

Minato Namikaze's figure instantly appeared on the distant Flying Thunder God kunai, his brows furrowed:

"If we don't use the Flying Thunder God Technique, Junior Brother Qing Shui is even faster than me. What an amazing Instantaneous Movement Technique..."

What Minato Namikaze didn't know was that Aokiji's talent in the Body Flicker Technique came from Shisui, Tobirama, and Madara.

With the Senju and Uzumaki clan's Sage Body as his engine, although his physique is still in the process of awakening, he is still slightly ahead of Minato Namikaze, who has not yet reached his peak...

"The power is astonishing. How could a human body possibly withstand such a strike?"

Minato Namikaze has a toothache.

They were clearly having a good start, a battle of wits!

Before each move, the brothers would strategize for a long time, thinking five steps ahead for every one step they took. It was as precise as a game of chess, a battle where combat intelligence was the dominant factor!

Why did Qing Shui suddenly start using such an aggressive and sweeping fighting style, like a berserker...?

This junior brother is quite the contrast!

As a top-tier assassin specializing in finishing off enemies, Minato Namikaze has never been particularly fond of powerful ninjutsu.

In his view, powerful ninjutsu, except in large-scale battlefields with organized group combat, is a waste of chakra the rest of the time.

With a ninja's physique, all that's needed is to smear a kunai on the throat; there's no need to waste extra chakra.

Even his teacher, Jiraiya, whose physique was among the best in the ninja world, was still quite passive when sparring with Minato Namikaze...

It's not that Jiraiya wasn't strong; on the contrary, his ninjutsu skills were exceptionally solid, making him an absolute powerhouse.

The problem is that no matter how fast the hand seals are, they can't hit Minato Namikaze, who has the Flying Thunder God Technique, while Jiraiya's throat is no different from an ordinary person's, and can be cut open by the same Flying Thunder God Kunai...

Minato Namikaze's fighting style was a counter to the vast majority of ninjas in the ninja world.

But the problem now is that his style doesn't seem to restrain Qing Shui in front of him!

Another slash came down!

Minato Namikaze teleported away again...

Blades and flames once again cleaved through an area, obliterating everything buried there!

Minato Namikaze stared intently at the dense black skin on Aoshimi's body.

Qingshui had already told him that it was some kind of earth-attribute defensive ninjutsu…

Minato Namikaze's slashes are actually quite powerful.

During the Third Shinobi World War, Minato Namikaze's slashes could even threaten the Fourth Raikage, and he could cut through parts of the Eight-Tails' telekinetic form.

"The Flying Thunder God kunai that I've carefully prepared are being gradually destroyed by Aoshui, and the situation is becoming increasingly dire..."

At this critical moment, Minato Namikaze remained remarkably calm:

"If I were to engage Junior Brother Qingshui in close combat, and I couldn't end the fight with a single blow, then given the ferocity and speed of his swordsmanship, I would most likely be struck down by his counterattack..."

"If I get hit by that sword, it won't be a question of whether I can continue fighting; I'll just have to lie there and wait for Tsunade-sensei to come to my rescue!"

Minato Namikaze stared at Muramasa, repeatedly considering whether or not to take the gamble.

Will his all-out strike be able to break through Qing Shui's defenses...?

If successful, the situation will naturally begin to reverse.
