Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

Chapter 38 Yaegaki Sword! (Please recommend and vote for this chapter!)

Compared to Hoshino Shuichi and Uchiha Shisui, Kurama Sanyou can be considered a pure genjutsu-type ninja.

Therefore, his fighting style was different from the other two. He would form hand seals and cast illusions before his opponents could rush in front of him.

Illusion - This is not the magic I'm talking about!

This is a visual illusion, blinding the enemy and making everything they see appear as a false illusion.

However, the young man with the katana was clearly very experienced in combat. After his first attack missed, he decisively closed his eyes before Kurama Yamayo could attack.

clang!

Using his hearing, the young man with the katana accurately blocked Kurama Yasunaga's attack from behind.

Kurama San'yo retreated after his initial attack failed, without engaging the enemy in close combat.

The young man with the katana decisively planted his sword in the ground and then formed hand seals to dispel the illusion.

However, Kurama Yamayo, who was retreating, did not remain idle. Two shuriken were already flying out, so that although the young man with the katana had broken free of the illusion, he still had to move away from his katana to avoid the shuriken.

Then Kurama Yamayo completed the second illusion.

He didn't recognize the magic of this star-shaped figure, so it was most likely an illusion technique of the Kurama clan.

Judging from the young man's physical reaction, this technique is clearly all-encompassing.

It is not the visual illusion of "this place is not" that was used before, but rather it affects all five senses at the same time.

The young man wielding the katana darted around aimlessly, muttering to himself as he attacked nonexistent enemies.

After finishing his surgery, Kurama Yamayo couldn't help but gasp for breath. After taking a pill, he didn't rush to attack but waited quietly for the right opportunity.

Suddenly, the young man with the katana stopped running around and locked his gaze precisely on Kurama Yamayo.

Hoshita Shuichi was slightly startled: "This is a fake illusion!"

At this moment, Minato Namikaze spoke up: "We concede defeat in this match!"

The technique I just used was the strongest illusion technique that Kurama Sanyou had mastered. Since the opponent saw through it and used it against me, there was no need to continue the fight.

Fortunately, Kurama Sanyou's chakra was insufficient, so he did not attack immediately after casting the genjutsu, otherwise he might have been hit by the katana-wielding youth.

Kurama Yamayo stepped back, bowing his head with some guilt: "I'm sorry, I dragged them down."

Hoshita Shuichi finished treating Uchiha Shisui and said with a smile, "It's not that you, Sanyo, are holding us back, but that the enemy you've encountered is stronger."

Uchiha Shisui nodded in agreement.

Minato Namikaze patted Yasuo Kurama on the shoulder, and He Xi smiled and said, "Shuichi is right, the opponents are different."

"Besides, we're still leading by one game. Now it's up to the teacher."

With that, Minato Namikaze stepped forward.

On the opposite side, Hoshino and his two companions saw the Jonin, Goku Kenichi, make his move.

Jonin vs. Jonin!

I was completely engrossed in the show and was really looking forward to it.

He had already witnessed Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique, but he had not yet seen another iconic ninjutsu, nor did he know if it had been created.

Suddenly, the two opposing figures moved at the same time, so fast that only afterimages could be seen.

"So fast!"

Hoshita Shuichi gasped inwardly.

If I hadn't obtained the "Ninja Tool Expert" title, which significantly boosted my reflexes, I probably wouldn't have been able to spot the two of them at all.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Shisui, who was standing next to him, also activated his Sharingan; otherwise, he would have had difficulty spotting the figures of Namikaze Minato and the other man.

At this moment, Kurama Yasunari exclaimed, "It's too fast! I can't keep up at all!"

Hoshino Shuichi and Uchiha Shisui, however, were shifting their gazes.

Ding!

clang!

The frequency of the clanging sounds was not high, but Hoshino Shuichi could tell that Namikaze Minato had the upper hand.

Suddenly, Kou Kenichi took a large step back and completed a ninjutsu by forming hand seals.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!

As Hoshino looked up, the water formed a water dragon that shot into the sky and then plunged down, crashing towards Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze threw the kunai in his hand straight at Kenichi Gu.

This was clearly an unexpected attack, but Kenichi had already mastered ninjutsu and was able to easily dodge the kunai.

But the next moment, to Kenichi's astonishment, Minato Namikaze vanished from his spot.

Where did you go?

Kou Kenichi looked her up and down, then felt a cold touch on her neck. Minato Namikaze's voice rang out: "You lost!"

His body stiffened, and Kou Kenichi slowly turned his head, cold sweat streaming down his forehead: "Such speed... May I ask your name?"

"Minato Namikaze!"

"I've learned my lesson!"

Kou Kenichi conceded defeat, not even wanting to fight the last team battle, and left with his men and corpses, not even bothering to say goodbye to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

He wasn't stupid. Although Minato Namikaze and the others didn't kill him, they didn't give the Fire Country Daimyo any face either.

If you don't know what's good for you, you might die here.

Watching Kenichi and the others leave, the Fire Country Daimyo's expression darkened slightly. He then covered half of his face with his fan, leaving only his eyes on Minato Namikaze and the other three. He then instructed the attendant beside him, "Demand information about them from Konoha, especially those three children."

Although the daimyo of the Land of Fire was not a ninja, he could still tell that Minato Namikaze was the strongest.

But clearly, Minato Namikaze is not someone he can win over.

However, that might not be the case for those three children.

After the waiter agreed, the daimyo of the Land of Fire instructed, "Treat them well."

After saying this, the daimyo of the Land of Fire was carried away.

Half an hour later, Hoshino and the other three, having finished their baths, received a grand welcome.

Not only are there sumptuous delicacies, but also a band playing music and graceful dancers performing.

Unfortunately, the performance was shown to four blind men.

With only food in their eyes, the four members of Hoshino Shizuka devoured all the food in a whirlwind.

The empty cups and saucers were cleared away, and the band and dancers left. Then, the daimyo of the Land of Fire arrived with his men, carrying the previous rewards.

Besides Kurama Sanyo, each of the three, including Hoshino Hideichi, received 100,000 taels.

Of course, the most important thing is the Kusanagi sword that the daimyo promised!

Minato Namikaze reached out and took it, thanked him, and then drew his sword.

Clang!

The sword rang out clearly and melodiously.

When Hoshino and the other two looked at it, it was a single-edged, straight sword about eighty centimeters long.

The blade was silvery-white, so shiny it could reflect a person's image. But the blade itself was jet black, reflecting no light whatsoever, a stark contrast between the two.

The servant of the daimyo of the Land of Fire said, "This Kusanagi sword is called the Yaegaki sword. Legend has it that it has the power to manipulate the earth, but no one has been able to unleash its power to this day."

Minato Namikaze nodded slightly, then channeled his chakra.

Buzz!

The Yaegaki sword trembled slightly, and a pale green glow appeared on its blade. Its sharpness increased dramatically in an instant, making Hoshino Shuichi and the others' hair stand on end.

However, Minato Namikaze did not sense any unique power within the sword; it seemed to be just an ordinary chakra sword.

Sheathing his sword, Minato Namikaze said to the attendant, "Please convey our gratitude to His Excellency the Daimyo."

"Furthermore, we have completed this mission..."

Before Minato Namikaze could finish speaking, the waiter hurriedly said, "Jonin Minato, there's no need to rush back to Konoha. His Majesty the Daimyo has ordered that you stay here for now and return to Konoha after the originally planned time has passed."

Minato Namikaze could only nod helplessly, "Then I'll have to trouble you!"
