Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 210 The Real Speed ​​Showdown

Minato Namikaze was not paying attention to the words of the Hidden Mist boy opposite him, which were clearly provocative.

What bothered him even more was that the enemy seemed to be far faster and quicker than before.

"Were those the medicines you took before some kind of secret remedy?"

Minato Namikaze felt a pang of regret at this thought.

Just now, when the other person swallowed those pills, their energy locked onto me, and at the same time, they used words to divert my attention.

As a result, before I could even hesitate for a moment, the other person had already swallowed those pills.

The intelligence report even mentioned that this kid was an excellent medical ninja, yet I still made such a mistake.

In fact, Minato Namikaze's frustration was somewhat unnecessary. Tachibana Kanagawa's current improvement was not entirely due to the "secret medicine." The speed enhancement secret medicine only brought about an increase in leg muscle strength and movement speed.

Rather, it was the two final taps on the chest that activated 'nerve reflexes' and 'body agility,' which boosted attack speed, that was the key factor enabling Tachibana Kengo to fight against Minato Namikaze.

Even after doubling her attributes, she was still slightly inferior to Minato Namikaze, but for Tachibana Kanagawa, who possessed dynamic vision and "danger prediction," it was more than enough.

Jianchuan Ju hid one hand behind his back, while the other hand pressed down on the divine spear, aiming at Namikaze Minato in the distance.

"Fighting Minato Namikaze is a battle of reaction speed, plus the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"Hehe, it's basically a whack-a-mole game. Minato Namikaze, the 'mole,' will appear at various 'holes,' which are the Flying Thunder God marks."

Those who react quickly hit the "groundhog," while those who react slowly get bitten to death by the "groundhog"!

Meanwhile, Tachibana Kanagawa, who possesses "danger prediction," is essentially using a cheat code, allowing her to foresee the appearance of "groundhogs" one step ahead of others.

Now that his multiple attributes have been enhanced, his strength has increased even further, which is why he was able to launch a counterattack with ease after the premonition appeared.

Unfortunately, "Danger Foresight" can only be triggered passively, so at this moment, all Jianchuan Tachibana needs is...

"Come on, you bastard!"

"Weren't you going to kill me?!"

Kenkawa roared wildly, while a faint green light emanated from his back, and he transformed into a green meteor as he rushed towards Minato Namikaze.

"Swallow Returns!"

Actually, at this moment, what Tachibana Kenkawa should do most is to wait for the opportune moment and play a defensive counter-attack against Minato Namikaze.

Unfortunately, the effects of Jianchuan Ju's acupressure and secret medicine are limited in duration.

Although Minato Namikaze had a misunderstanding, the way to deal with such a temporary promotion was always to delay.

If Tachibana Kenkawa is dragged into the weakened period after the buff ends, there's no point in fighting anymore; surrendering might give him a chance to survive.

Left with no other option, Tachibana Kenkawa had to take the initiative and issue a melee challenge.

At the same time, Lan Zai also unleashed "Lightning Flash" and "Shadow Clone" in succession.

They transformed into countless phantoms, protecting Tachibana Kanagawa, and charged towards Minato Namikaze together.

For a moment, this not-so-spacious area was filled with people.

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~"

Blue, green, and gold figures flashed continuously, dazzling the eyes, yet there was never a sound of weapons clashing.

Amidst the intertwining figures, after more than a dozen rounds, all the attacks between the two humans and the frog missed their mark, leaving behind only countless flashes of swords and flying dust.

However, the difference is...

Minato Namikaze relied on his abnormal reactions and the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Tachibana Kanagawa relies on an unparalleled combination of speed, agility, and cheat-like "danger prediction."

Lan Zai, on the other hand, possesses the ability to rapidly change direction with "Lightning Flash" and the ability to create indistinguishable afterimages with "Shadow Clone" to confuse opponents.

Unfortunately, in this clash of speed, Minato Namikaze ultimately prevailed.

Sensing the attack from behind, Tachibana Kenkawa unleashed another "Swallow Return" strike behind him.

The clone, which was originally a clone, instantly solidified. Holding a chakra kunai, it also used the "Swallow Return" technique and swung it towards Minato Namikaze.

"Whoosh~"

A golden light flashed, and Minato Namikaze, who was caught between the man and the frog, instantly activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and disappeared.

The figure reappeared, now behind Lan Zai.

Minato Namikaze seized the opportunity and silently generated a Rasengan, aiming it at Blue's lower back.

next moment.

With a loud "boom".

Amidst the dust and smoke, Minato Namikaze's attack, along with his own, passed straight through the little frog and crashed to the ground.

Tachibana Kanakawa seized the opportunity to launch another attack, but Minato Namikaze still managed to dodge it with a flash.

Once Minato Namikaze had stopped at a distance, he noticed that the frog summon's tongue was retracting from its master's wrist.

"Hiss~ Lanzi, the paralysis effect is stronger than I expected."

Although "Feather Perch" could barely dispel Lan Zai's paralyzing toxin, it was ultimately no match for the "Fine Ailment Extraction Technique," and Jianchuan Ju still subconsciously shook her wrist.

Then, with a grin, he looked at Minato Namikaze in the distance.

"Heh heh, with Shisui's Body Flicker and Tobi's Hollowfication, I wonder if the Fourth Hokage can hold out."

On the other hand, Minato Namikaze's expression grew increasingly solemn.

"Is this the summoning beast with space-time ninjutsu that Lord Orochimaru mentioned?"

"Since we can't figure out the underlying principle yet, it seems we should focus our efforts on him personally."

The stronger Tachibana Kanakawa became, the more Minato Namikaze wanted to eliminate this threat that very day.

The boy from the Mist Village opposite him, at such a young age, was already able to fight him to a standstill. If left to develop unchecked, who knows how far he would grow.

Thinking of this, Minato Namikaze clasped his hands together, preparing to form a hand seal.

"Have you switched to ranged attacks?"

However, Tachibana Kenkawa naturally couldn't just stand by and watch the other party unleash their ninjutsu.

Minato Namikaze can use the Flying Thunder God Technique to dodge ranged attacks, and can teleport away from even wide-range attacks. Neither he nor Ran could do that, so they had to fight in close combat.

Kanakawa Tachibana launched another charge, this time not only accelerating with the wind attribute on her back, but also with a large amount of water surging from her feet, increasing her maximum speed once again.

"I can still control it! The advantage is mine!"

But before Tachibana could reach Minato Namikaze, the latter had already completed the hand seals.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Ball"

Several air bullets were ejected from the entrance of Namikaze Mizuki and shot rapidly toward Kenkawa Tachibana.

However, when faced with the attack, Tachibana Kenkawa neither dodged nor evaded, or rather, he was unable to evade because he did not want to reduce his own speed.

Except for one air bullet aimed at his face being dispersed by the wind cone spat out by Jianchuan Ju, the other attacks directly pierced through Jianchuan Ju's arm and chest.

However, despite the attack hitting its mark, Minato Namikaze's pupils suddenly contracted.

The body of Jianchuan Ju, which had been pierced by the wind bullet, was completely restored in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the short sword attack closing in, Minato Namikaze leaned back and barely dodged the blade.

He then conjured another Rasengan with one hand and blasted it toward Tachibana's chest.

To everyone's surprise, Tachibana Kenkawa completely ignored the Rasengan that was about to strike her chest without flinching.

With a ferocious expression, he rapidly pressed down with his short sword, as if determined to perish together with Minato Namikaze.

"boom~"
