After a brief exchange, the two sides faced off again.

Rasa stared at Minato Namikaze, his brain racing, trying to find a way to grab or hit him.

"The only way is to attack him from a blind spot while he's attacking, and do so without being detected..."

"Or they have a reaction speed that surpasses his."

Luo Sha thought about it, but secretly frowned.

We can't catch it, we simply can't catch it!

Then, his gaze fell on Hoshino Shuichi.

Since we can't directly target Minato Namikaze, let's start with his subordinates.

"Yakura, Matai, attack that brat with all your might!"

Luosha Road.

Yekura and the others immediately understood that they were going to use Hoshino Shuichi as a point to break through Namikaze Minato's defenses.

No one felt that it was bullying the weak or despicable, and they all nodded in agreement.

opposite.

Hoshita Shuichi keenly noticed Rasa and the others' gazes and whispered, "Minato-sensei!"

Minato Namikaze is experienced; how could he not notice?

He also understood what Hoshino Shuichi meant.

A clever scheme, a bait!

It's just a shadow clone anyway!

Two Sand Ninja from the opposite side then led the Jonin, who had been severely injured by Minato Namikaze, away from the battlefield where the Flying Thunder God Kunai were distributed.

Xingxia Xiu glanced at it and became wary.

He absolutely did not believe that the two Sand Ninja Jonin would simply watch the battle from the sidelines.

At this moment, the Jonin named Matai, who was standing behind Rasa and Yekura, moved and charged forward at high speed with a kunai in his hand.

Luo Sha and Ye Cang also immediately took action. The former manipulated the iron sand, forming a dense barrage of thousands of iron shards that shot down.

Meanwhile, Yekura's Scorching Release fireballs circled around from both sides towards the rear of Hoshino Shuichi and the others.

Xingxia Xiu saw all of this, formed two hand seals, and spewed out a stream of fire from his mouth, which then rapidly expanded into a huge dragon-shaped flame.

Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!

The dragon-shaped flames engulfed all the incoming iron sand shards, burning them into molten iron that fell to the ground.

As the flames subsided, shuriken whistled through the air as they attacked.

It was Matai, the Jonin who charged forward.

Minato Namikaze raised his hand and threw a shuriken, which he blocked with perfect accuracy.

At that moment, a fireball using the Scorching Release technique attacked from behind.

Shuichi Hoshino and Minato Namikaze dodged in unison.

Rasa raised his hand, and a large amount of iron sand surged toward Minato Namikaze, with various attacks coming one after another.

At this moment, Hoshino no Shuichi no longer had time to observe Minato Namikaze's side. He was already engaged in battle with Matai, a Sand Ninja Jonin, and there were also two Scorching Release fireballs.

A series of defeats!

Matai, this middle-aged Jonin, was already very strong. With his Scorching Release technique, Hoshino Shuichi could only rely on his high reflexes and concentration to cope.

However, what he found most difficult to deal with was the Scorching Release Fireball.

Even if it's cut open by his Blue Flame Heavenly Blade, it can reassemble itself, so it's better to just use the Rasengan to destroy it directly.

Suddenly, Matai retreated and formed hand seals, while the frequency of the two Scorching Release fireballs increased, leaving Hoshino no Tsukai no time to spare.

Although Hoshino Shuichi could also use the Rasengan, he didn't do it.

really.

When Matai finished printing the seal, he opened his mouth and blew, and a storm swept through.

However, this ninjutsu is not only aimed at Hoshino Shuichi, but at everyone on the entire battlefield, including Rasa, Pakura, and all the Flying Thunder God kunai.

Minato Namikaze, who was playing hide-and-seek with Rasa, suddenly appeared next to Shuichi Hoshino. Before the storm arrived, the two disappeared again.

Luo Sha protected himself with iron sand while keeping his eyes fixed on the flashing yellow light.

Good, no evacuation!

Luo Sha smiled.

At this moment, Yecang dispersed his Scorching Release fireballs, forming a wall of fire to protect himself.

Outside the battlefield, the two Jonin who were tending to the wounded also began forming hand seals at that moment.

Wind Release: Great Net!

The two, one after the other, used the same ninjutsu, creating a sharp, large-area net-like wind that swept across the entire battlefield as Matai's wind-style ninjutsu began to weaken, forming a continuous and uninterrupted attack.

With only his eyes uncovered, Luo Sha looked out at the battlefield shrouded in the raging wind and thought to himself, "In this situation, if I don't want to die, the only way is to run away."

It would be regrettable if Minato Namikaze escaped, but it would also allow us to further ascertain information about his Body Flicker Technique.

Furthermore, it can be determined whether Minato Namikaze's Body Flicker Technique is high-speed movement or displacement using space-time ninjutsu.

however.

Minato Namikaze, along with Shuichi Hoshino, silently appeared behind the two Jonin who were releasing Wind Release ninjutsu.

At this moment, the two Sand Village Jonin, who had just survived a fierce battle, felt something. Sweat beaded on their foreheads, their ninjutsu stopped, and they turned their necks to look back.

Minato Namikaze slammed down with his Rasengan, while Shuichi Hoshino went even further, slashing down with his Murasaki.

puff!

Rumble!

The body was severed in two, and the ground sank.

The two Sand Ninja Jonin were killed without a word by Hoshinobu Shuichi and Namikaze Minato.

Matai, who was also outside the storm's reach, turned and stared wide-eyed at the scene: "How is this possible?"

As the storm subsided, Rasa and Yekura removed their protective gear and turned to look at the billowing dust, their faces grim with disbelief.

"This guy can leave spells on people!"

Luo Sha reacted extremely quickly, instantly making the connection, and felt so depressed he wanted to vomit blood.

Two encounters, three men lost!

Just then, Xingxia Xiu turned into smoke and disappeared with a bang.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Matai couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

In other words, Minato Namikaze didn't need Shuichi Shita's help at all before.

The reason for doing that was to allow them to continue with their subsequent actions.

Their plan was completely exposed, and they even took advantage of the intelligence gap.

"Sunagakure should not provoke Konoha. Please convey this message to the Third Kazekage."

With that, Minato Namikaze vanished.

The battlefield was silent.

After a long while, Rasa looked up at the moon in the sky and said, "Yakura, destroy these kunai imbued with magic!"

Yekura nodded silently, and a fireball of scorching release flew up, melting the kunai one by one.

As for taking the kunai away for research, he didn't even consider it, and he wouldn't dare touch those kunai with magical properties.

……

The shadow clones fed back their memories, and Hoshino and the other two immediately stopped.

Sure enough, Minato Namikaze appeared shortly afterward.

"Let's rest for half an hour before continuing our journey!"

Minami Namikaze.

Kurama Yasunari let out a long sigh and laughed, "It seems there won't be any pursuers."

Minato Namikaze smiled: "That's true, but we still need to remain vigilant."

Hoshino Shuichi, however, was thinking: After this battle, the name of the Yellow Flash will probably start to spread throughout the ninja world.

One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand!

In the ninja world, any prestigious title is built upon a mountain of corpses.

The Yellow Flash is one, Konoha's White Fang is one, and so are the Killer Bees of the Cloud Ninja...

Composing himself, Xingxia Xiu said, "It's been a long time since I've had a good meal. I'll go hunt some game!"

Minato Namikaze nodded, but then said, "Shisui, you go with Shuichi."

……

After a meal of roasted rabbit, Hoshino and her three companions set off again, arriving at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rivers at dawn, and then heading southeast along the border.

However, they circled around from the north and arrived at River Valley Town again.

Konoha ninja stayed behind here, and it even became Konoha's rear base for this war against the Land of River.

To Hoshino Shuichi's great surprise, he actually saw Kakashi.

"Kakashi, when did you get here?"

After exchanging greetings, Hoshino Hideichi asked.

"Last night."

Kakashi replied, then said, "The village is still receiving reinforcements, so it seems the situation at the front isn't good."

Hoshino Hideichi laughed and said, "No, I didn't come from the village, I came back from the front lines."

Kakashi was stunned.

Just then, Kurama Yamayo's voice came, and Hoshino Shuichi patted Kakashi on the shoulder: "I'm leaving. If you go to the front lines, be extra careful, especially against the Sand Ninja puppeteers."

After finishing his sentence, Hoshino Shizuka hurriedly left and set off again with Minato Namikaze and the others, arriving at the front line where Konoha was confronting the Sand Village at noon.

The commander here is Sakumo Hatake!

Upon seeing Minato Namikaze and his three companions, Sakumo Hatake smiled and said, "Minato, we owe you all a lot this time."

Minato Namikaze humbly replied, "You're too kind, senior. It's what we should do."

Knowing Minato Namikaze's gentle and humble nature, Sakumo Hatake smiled and then looked at Shuichi Hoshita, saying, "Shuichi, thank you for your guidance to Kakashi."

Hoshino was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "Senior, you flatter me. Kakashi has also been a great help to me. It's not a matter of guidance between us, but rather an exchange between friends."

Sakumo Hatake admired Shuichi Hoshishita even more and said, "If you ever need anything about swordsmanship, feel free to ask me anytime."

Upon hearing this, Hoshino Hideichi was overjoyed and quickly bowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you so much, senior! I will!"

This is not the time to be polite.

Next, Minato Namikaze went to a Jonin meeting to exchange information.

Hoshino and his two companions waited for almost an hour before seeing Minato Namikaze again.

"We're going to have to part ways now."

Minato Namikaze's first words startled Shuichi Hoshino and the other two.

"Next, Shisui, the three of you will escort the wounded back to River Valley Town. Once we arrive, Shuichi, you will stay and join the medical team."

Then Minato Namikaze looked at Shisui Uchiha and Sanyo Kurama: "As for Shisui and Sanyo, you will also be temporarily teamed up with other people until the mission is over."

Upon hearing this, Hoshino Hideichi immediately understood that Minato Namikaze would inevitably have to contend with the powerful Sand Ninja next, and it was indeed inappropriate to bring them along.

Kurama Sanyou breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "I thought you weren't our team leader anymore, Minato-sensei!"

Minato Namikaze patted Haru Kurama on the shoulder and cautioned, "Be careful during the mission!"

"Don't worry, Minato-sensei, we will!"

Anma Sanyang patted his chest and guaranteed.

Next, Hoshino and his two companions escorted a group of wounded soldiers back to River Valley Town.

Before they could say much, Uchiha Shisui and Kurama Sanyou were called away by a middle-aged ninja.

Hoshino Shuichi, as a medical ninja, was also extremely busy.

Wounded soldiers continued to be brought to the front lines, and Konoha ninjas who had recovered from their injuries continued to return to the front lines from River Valley Town.

As Hoshino Shuichi got to know more and more Konoha ninjas, his superb medical ninjutsu was recognized by many Konoha ninjas. In particular, after learning that he had trained with Tsunade, he was eventually known as "the disciple of Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha".

Hoshino Hideichi neither refuted, explained, nor admitted to this.

He did indeed train with Tsunade!

As for others misunderstanding, that's not his fault.
