Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 35 Instant Kill of Minato Namikaze

"Earth Release Barrier! Earth Prison Hall Without End!"

The earthen walls rose from the ground, quickly forming a tightly sealed dungeon.

A B-rank control ninjutsu; anyone trapped by this technique cannot escape, as these earthen walls absorb the chakra of those trapped.

Three figures then slowly emerged from the ground.

The gaunt young man leading the group had his hand on the earthen prison, his brow furrowed slightly, before he removed his hand from the prison.

Without the supply of chakra, the earthen prison turned into soft mud and collapsed.

But there was no one inside.

"Such a fast reaction speed, he must be a seeded genin from Konoha."

They activated their ninjutsu the moment they were discovered, but the three still managed to escape in that instant.

This speed is not something an ordinary genin can possess, and the opponent's age doesn't seem to be that of a chunin or jonin.

This is also the source of their confidence in launching attacks.

"Mr. Nakado and the others have separated."

A girl with black markings like scorpions on her face pointed into the distance.

The girl's reconnaissance abilities are worthy of the Lord's trust.

Sensing the girl's presence, the three split into three routes and began to escape quickly.

That speed surprised her; it even reached the escape speed of a Jonin.

"Watch me tear them all to shreds!"

The crew-cut boy next to him had a bloodthirsty look on his face, completely disregarding the enemy's strength.

"Pursue them separately!"

After careful consideration, Nakado immediately issued an order: destroying Konoha's seed genin would only benefit Iwagakure in the future.

As for the possibility of failure.

The two men led by Nakado were also known as genius ninjas.

Given the age difference, he didn't think there was any possibility of failure.

The three quickly transformed into shadows and gave chase.

Minato Namikaze is moving quickly through the forest.

His brows were furrowed.

Just a moment ago, when the underground ninjas launched their attack, a strong sense of crisis alerted them.

The attacking team included Jonin.

The three immediately split up, knowing that if one of them could escape and relay the message, the others would have a chance to survive.

Those who are caught up by Jonin midway can only pray for their own good fortune.

Their strength is some distance from that of a Jonin.

This ruthless decision was naturally made by Jin Suo immediately through hand gestures.

In that extremely short time, Minato Namikaze didn't even have time to refuse before the enemy's ninjutsu was unleashed.

They could only act according to Jin's instructions.

Because this is the only action proposal.

He understood what Jin meant.

If the three of them act together, the opposing Jonin is capable of taking all three of them down at once.

It's better for one person to escape than for the other to be in danger.

Separation was the best option at the time.

"Kushina, Gin, survive!"

Minato Namikaze, his face grave, moved swiftly through the woods.

My ears twitched; I heard the sound of someone chasing me from behind.

Footsteps made a sound as they rubbed against the branches, gradually approaching from behind.

Based on the frequency of the sound, only one person is coming.

The enhanced perception brought by basic internal strength makes one extremely sensitive to sound, which is difficult for the opponent to conceal, even though the opponent has no intention of concealing it.

Minato Namikaze immediately stopped on a tree branch, waiting for his pursuers behind him.

No matter who is chasing him, he needs to delay them.

If you're a Jonin, you can only use your life to stall for time.

I tightened the headband rope at the back of my head a little.

He was prepared to die in battle.

Soon, the figure of a boy gradually became clear and stopped on the branch opposite him.

It wasn't that Jonin.

Minato Namikaze's heart sank to the bottom.

He most hoped that the Jonin would come after him, since he was the one most worth sacrificing among the three.

Are you unhappy to see me?

The boy gently licked the blade of the kunai, drawing a bloody line on his tongue, while an exaggerated smile appeared on his face.

He's like a madman.

"There are some."

Minato Namikaze took out a kunai and quickly began to analyze his opponent's strength.

The other person was probably fifteen or sixteen years old, much older than him, but a ninja's strength is never determined by age.

Minato Namikaze never underestimates anyone.

"You're really making me angry."

The boy grinned, revealing his sharp teeth.

"My name is Mountain Beast. Tell me your name, Konoha's genius."

Someone who can be called a seeded player of Konoha by Master Nakado must be a genius of Konoha.

"Konoha's geniuses are my best hunting targets."

The mountain beast grew increasingly excited, its brown hair faintly glowing red.

Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze turned and jumped up, crouching on the tree trunk in a launching stance, aiming at the mountain beast.

"He's not a genius."

It is far inferior to gold, at least.

"Whether you are or not, you will die here."

The mountain beast's body began to change; its hair turned blood red, and dirt and sand began to fall from its face.

"Secret Technique! Earth Beast Technique!"

The mountain beast had just changed its appearance when Minato Namikaze had already completed the hand seals.

Take a deep breath.

"Wind Release! Great Breakthrough!"

A powerful whirlwind blew towards the mountain beast in front of them.

Faced with the fierce wind, the mountain beast leaped up from the tree in time, and the soil and sand on its body turned into tentacles to grab the surrounding trees and stabilize itself.

Minato Namikaze then pushed off with both feet, his whole body shooting forward like a launched spring, slashing his kunai toward the mountain beast's chest.

The mountain beast's earthen tentacles wrapped around another tree and pulled it forcefully, causing it to dodge the attack.

The next moment, two more tentacles grew from his body and grabbed him.

Minato Namikaze had already prepared a response.

"Forward Slash!"

He rapidly approached the mountain beast by stepping on its tentacles, and no matter how the beast waved its tentacles, he walked on them as if they were flat ground.

They closed in an instant, and the kunai was slashed out.

Blood splattered.

Blood droplets sprayed from the mountain beast's chest, and its pupils turned crimson at that moment. It kicked out, forcing Minato Namikaze back.

The tentacles on his back pulled him to another branch, where he looked down at the beads of blood protruding from his chest.

he got hurt.

He gritted his teeth and questioned angrily.

"How dare you hurt me?"

He looked up at Minato Namikaze, but there was no one there.

"Shave! Continuous Slash!"

Minato Namikaze appeared on a tree branch behind the mountain beast and flicked the blood droplets on his kunai.

He doesn't have time to waste here.

Wounds appeared on the earth beast's body, and the earth and sand tentacles on its back were quickly severed, turning into dirt and falling to the ground.

"Sorry, I don't have time to waste my energy here."

Minato Namikaze's kunai hung down, a fierce wind enveloping his entire body and blowing his hair, ready to unleash his power.

"The battle has only just begun!"

The mountain beast roared, and more crimson sand grew behind it; this was its strongest form.

Even the geniuses of Konoha cannot...

"Steel-Cutting Flash!"

The fierce wind blades appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye, and before he could react, they sliced ​​through his body, cutting down a large section of the trees behind him.

"How can he be so strong!?"

The mountain beast didn't understand. He hadn't even had a chance to fully unleash his family's secret techniques yet, but because he enjoyed the thrill of torture, he was gradually increasing his strength to instill fear in his prey.

But the other side was going all out.

It's like he just uses a basic attack, and RQWE unleashes their full combo all at once.

A line of blood first appeared between the eyebrows and on the belly. The mountain beast, with a look of resentment in its eyes, split its body in two and fell to either side.

The battle has already been decided.

He didn't expect to lose in just a few exchanges.

He sacrificed his life.

He's a genius from Iwagakure too!!

Minato Namikaze stopped looking at the two halves of the body that had fallen.

They quickly darted into the woods.

Kushina didn't run far before stopping by a stream.

Looking at her reflection in the stream, Kushina gritted her teeth, her face full of resentment.

At this moment, she should be the one to evacuate as quickly as possible. If something were to happen to her and she lost the Nine-Tails, it would be a major blow to the village.

Kushina knew perfectly well which choice was the best.

but.

"I can't accept this! How could I just run away like this!"

The light reflected off the stream illuminated her resentful face.

She ran away when the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, so how could she possibly abandon her companions and run away now?

She picked up the kunai and turned to walk back the way she came.

"I will never abandon my comrades!!"

That's just how willful she is.

She had just followed Jin's orders to escape, but now she wanted to act according to her own ideas.

"That was truly a touching speech."

The girl with scorpion tattoos on her face leaned against a tree trunk, looking at Kushina.

"An enemy?"

Kushina assumed an attack stance. The enemy's appearance hadn't been seen at all, only revealed in the instant of the attack, causing the three to turn and run away.

Are Iwagakure and Konoha still allies?

The girl patted the belt around her waist, which bore the insignia of Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village).

"So thin!"

Kushina exclaimed in surprise, then immediately shook her head. Was this the time to be thinking about such things?

"Oh ho ho, you really have good taste. I don't even want to kill you anymore." The girl let out a strange laugh, looking at Kushina with a smile on her face.

After all, how many of those rough men in the village could notice her perfect figure?

Kushina was still intently watching the enemy.

"Try to kill me, then bring it on."

Kushina, who had little combat experience, did not choose to attack immediately, but waited for the girl to make a move.

A charming smile appeared on the girl's face.

"Sweetheart, I've made my move."

Swish.

A bloody scratch appeared on Kushina's cheek, and her pupils contracted as she quickly moved to the left.

The attacks seemed to be everywhere, and wounds appeared all over my body.

Kushina's pupils darted around rapidly, searching for anything that could attack her.

But it was just a patch of air.

No, her pupils began to dilate, and extremely fine dust particles brushed against her body.

It left behind a scar.

"We've been found out." The girl giggled and clapped her hands together forcefully, no longer pretending.

"Dust Escape! Dust Land."

Countless dust particles began to gather, covering this area.

Although it didn't obstruct her vision, Kushina covered her face with her hands, and small cuts kept appearing on her body.

"I'll ruin your lovely face for you."

The girl's face contorted in a ferocious expression.
