Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 304 The man who kicked away a Tailed Beast Ball!

Minato Namikaze got blown up!

Minato Namikaze, who just displayed an invincible demeanor on the battlefield, was someone that even Nagato, Naruto Uzumaki, and Tsunade couldn't do anything about...

Now he's been brutally defeated by Uehara Naraku!

Everyone present originally thought that Uehara Naraku's arrival was only to allow Naruto Uzumaki and Nagato to hold the battle in place and give them more time to find the enemy's weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

The only unexpected thing was that Uehara Naraku defeated Namikaze Minato in Kurama Mode as soon as he appeared, and did so simply by relying on his physical skills.

"Uehara is still as strong as ever..."

Naruto Uzumaki watched in shock as Naraku Uehara knocked away the golden Nine-Tails, and then directly shattered Minato Namikaze's Kurama Mode with a powerful Daytime Tiger Air Bomb.

"Because Uehara worked hard enough."

A glint flashed in Nagato's Rinnegan. He lowered his head and said softly, "If a person works hard enough, they will definitely be rewarded. Now he is able to take on the responsibility."

At that moment, Nagato made a decision in his heart.

If he was still a little worried about Konan and Uehara Naraku before, he is now completely at ease.

Konan gazed at Uehara Naraku's surging chakra and the immense power he displayed, her expression gradually softening.

These people breathed a sigh of relief after witnessing Uehara Naraku's strength.

However, Obito Uchiha, Minato Namikaze, and the others looked rather grim. Just as Naraku Uehara charged toward them again, Tobirama Senju suddenly appeared beside Minato Namikaze!

The next moment, the Second Hokage suddenly closed his fingers and quickly formed several simple hand seals!

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

A towering wave of water swept in, transforming into a water dragon that blocked Uehara Naraku's path. The water dragon roared and charged towards Uehara!

"Trying to use Water Release ninjutsu on me?"

Uehara Naraku suddenly extended his fingers and quickly clasped his hands together to form a messy hand seal. Then, an even larger water dragon surged from the ground!

The two water dragons collided instantly!

The chakra within the water dragon gradually ran out, and water splashed everywhere, as if a torrential rain was falling from the sky!

However, Uehara Naraku raised his finger again, and the falling water droplets floated up into the air, turning into water needles!

When it comes to mastering Water Release ninjutsu, there might not be anyone stronger than him in the entire ninja world, not even the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju!

The next moment, countless water needles covered Minato Namikaze and the others!

Like real needles of water, they shot down in dense, countless streams!

"Water Release: Water Pillar!"

Tobirama Senju suddenly clenched his hands, and a wave of water rolled out from beneath his feet, forming a circular water curtain around him, Minato Namikaze, and Obito Uchiha, blocking the incoming water needles!

Looking at the water-style barrier surrounding them, Minato Namikaze's face flashed with admiration: "As expected of the Second Hokage, his mastery of water-style ninjutsu is truly terrifying. He can even unleash such a unique water pillar technique..."

"No, his water-style ninjutsu is even stronger."

Tobirama Senju shook his head with a somewhat gloomy expression and said in a low voice, "That brat is far more skilled in Water Release ninjutsu than the average person. Even I have to admit that he is an extremely talented Water Release ninja. He is definitely more adept at countering Water Release ninjutsu!"

as predicted.

The next moment, Uehara Naraku flipped his hand over!

A huge red fireball appeared in his palm and shot rapidly toward the water pillar!

Just when everyone was surprised and thought that the fireballs would be stopped by the water pillars, the water pillar technique created by Tobirama Senju suddenly turned into puffs of steam and was quickly and completely evaporated!

This is not a fire-style ninjutsu!

This is another terrifying technique!

Minato Namikaze watched as the Water Pillar Technique dissipated into wisps of steam, a look of surprise flashing across his face. He involuntarily frowned, "Scorch Release... Is that the Scorch Release: Pakura's bloodline limit from Sunagakure?"

As a ninja who had fought against Pakura during the Third Shinobi World War, Minato Namikaze had also witnessed Pakura's Scorching Release ability. Unfortunately, Pakura died in the Third Shinobi World War, and the Scorching Release bloodline limit disappeared after that.

Unexpectedly, Uehara Naraku was able to obtain the lost bloodline of Scorching Release, which is a complete counter to Water Release ninjutsu!

Just when they thought it was over, Uehara Naraku slowly raised his finger, and the steam turned into vortexes that instantly surrounded the three of them!

"This is... Boil Release?"

Obito Uchiha's figure quietly entered a state of intangibility, watching as Minato Namikaze and Tobirama Senju's bodies were gradually destroyed by high-temperature steam, a red light flashing in his eyes!

The next moment, Obito Uchiha stretched out his palm and sucked countless water vapors into his Kamui dimension!

"That's right!"

Minato Namikaze's body slowly recovered, his eyes filled with even greater shock: "He must have synthesized two bloodline limits... This guy is far more terrifying than I imagined!"

"Yes, even more."

Obito Uchiha slowly nodded, glanced at the leisurely Uehara Naraku in the distance, and lowered his voice: "This guy previously manipulated me to leak information about his successful synthesis of bloodline limit, mentioning that he already possessed his own bloodline limit. Obviously, an ordinary bloodline limit would not satisfy him."

"No matter how many bloodlines he has..."

Tobirama Senju quickly closed his palms and whispered, "Regular ninjutsu is useless against him... Oh well, we never expected to defeat him with these ordinary techniques anyway."

The three ninjas, skilled in space-time techniques, exchanged glances.

The fact that Tobirama Senju was completely suppressed by Naraku Uehara after using only two Water Release ninjutsu proves the ineffectiveness of Water Release ninjutsu.

As for Fire Release ninjutsu…

It's definitely even less useful.

Because Uehara Naraku himself was very skilled at using Water Release ninjutsu to counter Fire Release.

"Let's all attack together!"

Minato Namikaze gripped a kunai in his hand again, glanced at the two men to his left and right, nodded to them, and the three of them charged towards Naraku Uehara at the same time!

To this day, these three ninjas, who are skilled in space-time techniques, are unmatched when they attack together, so no one can tell which one will use a space-time technique attack!

"I'll go first!"

Minato Namikaze tossed a shuriken into his hand, quickly closing it to close his palm, and whispered, "Let's distract the enemy first! Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

The next moment, countless starlight appeared in front of Uehara Naraku, shooting towards him in dense array!

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Uehara Naraku held up his finger, and a gust of wind blew wildly past him, blowing away the countless shadow clones of shuriken into nothingness!

Minato Namikaze and Tobirama Senju charged forward against the raging wind, appearing almost simultaneously on either side of Naraku Uehara, each wielding their own kunai and thrusting them toward his side!

Uehara Naraku grabbed Senju Tobirama's arm and was about to slam him onto Namikaze Minato, intending to send both of them flying with one blow!

"They've been caught!"

Tobirama Senju glanced at Minato Namikaze, and a flash of light appeared in both of their eyes. They exclaimed in unison, "Use that move!"

"Flying Thunder God Technique: Instantaneous Spinning!"

The two figures moved simultaneously!

Seeing his arm being grabbed by Uehara Naraku, Tobirama Senju suddenly activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, bringing Uehara Naraku with him and appearing behind Minato Namikaze!

Minato Namikaze also appeared in the same spot where Tobirama Senju was before!

At this moment, they formed an excellent angle for attack. Minato Namikaze held a Tailed Beast Ball in his hand and smashed it down on Naraku Uehara's back!

This time, it's definitely a crisis for Uehara Naraku!

They believed that no matter how fast Uehara Naraku was, he would have no chance of reacting in time to dodge their carefully planned attack!

Unfortunately, the next moment, Uehara Naraku stared at the Tailed Beast Ball, slightly curled the corners of his mouth, and suddenly kicked the Tailed Beast Ball away!

After being kicked away by Uehara Naraku, the Tailed Beast Ball instantly exploded, leaving a deep crater in the ground!

"Are you kidding me!"

Almost everyone present changed their expressions at the same time.

How can anyone in this world kick away a Tailed Beast Ball? Can something that explodes upon contact really be kicked away by someone?

To date, the solutions to Tailed Beast Balls have always been either to use powerful barrier defense ninjutsu to block them or to collide with the Tailed Beast Balls.

How could someone kick a Tailed Beast Ball away?

While Minato Namikaze and Tobirama Senju were still in shock, Uehara Naraku used his elbows to send them flying!

After a casual yawn, Uehara Naraku revealed a mysterious smile and said, "What an interesting battle... You two almost succeeded!"

"..."

That sounds so fake!

You can't believe anything Uehara Naraku says!

Just by seeing how easily he kicked away the Tailed Beast Ball, and how casual and carefree his every move was, it was clear that he was already certain that he would be alright.

Minato Namikaze's body gradually began to recover under the effects of the Impure World Reincarnation. A look of horror flashed across his face: "Kicking away a Tailed Beast Ball with his bare foot, what an amazing way to resolve that..."

"No…"

Uehara Naraku slowly opened his palm, pondered, and said, "Compared to what I truly want to kick away, the Tailed Beast Ball isn't really that powerful..."

Yes, it certainly can't be called powerful.

The third update will be later...

I think I've seen more donations from the big spenders, so I guess I'll need to add two more chapters...

But today was really busy!

If that doesn't work, I'll add an extra chapter tomorrow!
