I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

"—Sizzle!"

Sparks flew as the bone sword and dagger clashed. But in an instant, the Assassin vanished. A deep, bloody gash remained on Kurokawa Kazuya's neck.

Although his injuries healed quickly, continuing like this was not a solution.

'There's no other way... I have to use Command Seals.' His eyes darted around, and Kurokawa Kazuya, assessing the faint shadows he could see, thought to himself: 'This time, the character I need to possess must have extremely high speed and powerful tracking abilities... After all, my current goal isn't to kill Assassin, but to get the Command Seals from Kirei Kotomine! No... not just that. Speed ​​and tracking alone aren't enough... I also need a character with strong hypnotic and suggestive abilities. Otherwise, even if I get to Kirei Kotomine, I won't know how to obtain the Command Seals. So... it'll be him...'

Chi-

The next moment, the Command Seals on the back of Kurokawa Kazuya's hand lit up.

......

"So that's how it is." Kirei Kotomine, who had rushed back to his residence and seen the light emanating from the back of Kurokawa Kazuya's hand through his connection with Assassin, said, "So it really is a Command Seal... It seems that guy is going to use that ability again... But I wonder if he has four left or fewer? Hmm... I see, it takes two Command Seals to use it once, so after this one he'll only have one left. Just in case... I'll tell Tokiomi Gosei."

......

"Is this the ability Master was talking about?" Assassin said, hiding in the thick fog and looking at Kurokawa Kazuya. "Well, it is indeed so. I sense danger."

A red beam of light enveloped Kurokawa and Miyako—

next moment.

Countless kunai rained down in all directions.

"Trying to find me this way?" Assassin said, blocking one of the kunai with his hand, "Watch me dismantle you!"

No, that's enough.

"Huh—?" Assassin was taken aback. Suddenly, a person appeared behind her! The man had short blond hair, a headband on his forehead, and held the kunai he had just knocked away. He was wearing a shrine robe with the words "Fourth Hokage" written on the back.

"When—?" Assassin's expression changed, and she turned around to find that Kurokawa and Miya had been there, but no one was there anymore. The next moment, she forcefully broke free from Namikaze Minato's grip on her wrist, and at the same time, she slashed at his chest with one hand!

"Um, young lady, could you please clear this fog? Your people are about to die." The man... the Fourth Hokage, named Minato Namikaze, said with a somewhat helpless smile.

Assassin was stunned... What on earth happened? The attack missed? What on earth happened?

Why... why can't I hit him no matter how hard I try, and why is he always by my side no matter how I try to hide?

“Minato Namikaze, kill her. She is an aggregate of countless vengeful spirits... a Heroic Spirit. Even if she dies here, it's just the death of an avatar to her... well, to put it simply, it's like the death of a shadow clone. You don't need to be so concerned, do you?” Kurokawa Kazuya said, handing over control of his body to the summoned person as always.

"That's true... but..." Minato Namikaze was actually quite relaxed right now because... the Flying Thunder God mark had been removed, and there was only one enemy, and this enemy gave him... a slightly off feeling.

"Don't underestimate me!" Assassin said, turning his body around and attacking Minato Namikaze with the dagger in his hand.

Clang—the dagger and the kunai clashed. Both men staggered back several steps.

"Indeed... I take back what I said before, you are indeed very strong... I see, no wonder you are a 'Heroic Spirit'... I can't underestimate you."

"You'd better finish this quickly... I have enough time to summon, but... those around here who haven't escaped this thick fog might not be able to hold on."

“I understand…” Minato Namikaze nodded: “Well then, I’m going in, Assassin!”

Although Kurokawa Kazuya was watching the battle, he was actually experiencing a much stranger feeling—a clone.

I've become two!

One consciousness is fighting Assassin on Minato's side. Another consciousness... has been following Minato since the moment he appeared—or rather, following his "shadow clones" to track Kirei Kotomine!

Chapter 119 Minato Namikaze

Minato Namikaze —

This is a character from a manga called "Naruto".

His most proficient technique is called "Flying Thunder God." It's a technique that involves marking specific kunai and then teleporting between them.

Furthermore, it can be transferred not only to kunai, but to any place where a mark has been made.

prior to.

Minato Namikaze had already left a mark on Assassin's arm when he first grabbed her.

Not just the arms, but also the back.

In that case, even if she cut off her own hand, she still wouldn't be able to escape Minato Namikaze's pursuit; Assassin's pride, her speed, had been sealed away.

That's not all.

As a top-tier ninja in "Naruto," he naturally possesses techniques such as genjutsu (illusionary techniques).

He used shadow clones to locate Kirei Kotomine and leave traces of his magic on him. Then, he instantly teleported there using the Flying Thunder God Technique and forced Kirei to hand over his Command Seals using genjutsu. This was his planned battle strategy.

As for the Assassin in front of him, Minato Namikaze would use all his strength to defeat her. After all, his character attribute is "good," and countless people around him are already on the verge of death. Staying in this fog would only lead to certain death.

Moreover, even if Assassin dies, he will simply return to Valhalla.

"Sorry, but since you're unwilling to remove this barrier—"

Rasengan!

As he spoke, Minato Namikaze appeared behind Assassin—a blue orb of light appeared in his hand and attacked from behind—

"ah----!!"

boom----

The Rasengan attack definitely hit its mark.

"I'm sorry... I can't purify your resentment. I'm not very good at that." Minato Namikaze said apologetically as he looked at Assassin lying on the ground.

"Mom...Mom...I want...to go back...."

As he spoke, Assassin, having been attacked in this way, slowly turned into specks of light and disappeared.

Minato Namikaze frowned slightly: "Incomplete...?"

"What?" Kurokawa Kazuya asked.

"No...it's nothing, it's probably just a characteristic of hers. I feel like she's missing something..."

In this Holy Grail War, the first Heroic Spirit to leave the stage has appeared.

As the surrounding mist gradually dissipated, Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief: "Your target is that person named Kirei Kotomine, isn't it?"

"Ah, that's right. With the Command Seal in his hands, this mission will be successfully completed."

“Well then, how about this?” Minato Namikaze said, dispelling his shadow clone. He instantly appeared at the location where the shadow clone had been running for over a minute, jumped onto a nearby building, and golden light emanated from his body.

Nine-Tailed Mode —

Normally, Minato Namikaze, summoned by two Command Seals, can last for thirty minutes. However, when using Nine-Tails Mode, one minute is equivalent to five minutes in his normal state.

"found it."

After searching for a while, Minato Namikaze opened his eyes and said, "That must be the Command Seal... But, is it called Kurokawa?"

"Yes, just call me Kurokawa."

"Hmm... then I'll get straight to the point." Minato Namikaze deactivated the time-consuming Nine-Tails Mode and said, "A powerful aura is heading this way. Should we dodge it, or fight it?"

"Let's find a secluded spot to fight," Kurokawa Kazuya said directly. "After all, you only have thirty minutes to move, so we can't waste them."

“That’s true… although it seems like we only have about twenty minutes left. But… let’s finish your business first.” Minato Namikaze said, quickly heading towards the location of Kirei Kotomine that he had sensed earlier.

......

News: Several people suddenly collapsed in Fuyuki City. Please see follow-up reports for details.

......

"Found you. You are Kirei Kotomine."

"I see. So you're the one Caster summoned using his abilities... You were quick. I was planning to use all my Command Seals just in case. But I didn't expect Assassin to be taken down so quickly."

"So, what are you going to do next?" Minato Namikaze asked, looking at the man before him who remained expressionless even in this situation. "Are you planning to run away? Or leave your Command Seals?"

"Of course I'll leave a Command Seal, then you'll let me go, right? As for escaping? I'm not confident I can escape from someone who can kill an Assassin in that state."

“If you’re this honest, letting you go isn’t impossible,” Minato Namikaze continued, frowning. He... sensed a strange quality in the man before him. Whether letting him go now was the right or wrong decision, he didn’t know.

"Kurokawa...do you think it's better to let him go or kill him?" Minato Namikaze asked Kurokawa Kazuya in his mind.

"..." Kurokawa Kazuya was also struggling with this.

Kirei Kotomine is definitely not a good person, neither before nor after being manipulated by Gilgamesh.

Before being seduced, he was an agent of the church, with countless lives on his hands. After being seduced, he became even more so, taking pleasure in destruction...seeing the suffering of others as his own happiness. Such people are not uncommon.

Even in the modern world that Kurokawa and Mi traveled to, they already constituted a considerable portion of the population. They always felt a sense of schadenfreude when they saw others suffering.

But that's all there is to it.

The person in front of me is different; he will personally create pain and then savor that feeling...

That's quite a terrible personality trait.

However, such a wicked personality also has its own charm... just like how some people like DIO, the Emperor of Evil, the born villain from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. But liking someone is one thing, and what if such a person actually appeared in real life?

More than half of the people who like this character probably want to smash him to pieces.

so...

After thinking for a few seconds, Kurokawa Kazuya said, "Kill...no, how about sealing him away?"

"Sealing, huh... Hmm, not bad, I also know a little bit of sealing techniques."

Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief and said.

“Then, extend your hand.” Kirei Kotomine said, extending his hand.

“Okay.” Minato Namikaze said, extending his hand. The next moment, the Command Seals on Kirei Kotomine’s arm disappeared one by one.

At the same time... Kurokawa Kazuya also clearly felt the extra Command Seals on his side.

"Only seven?" Minato Namikaze asked Kurokawa Kazuya, voicing his doubts.

"That's right. I tried it myself. After all, my Assassin isn't easy to control. If I'm not careful, she could kill me, her Master."

"I see." As he said this, Minato Namikaze suddenly placed his hand on Kirei Kotomine's stomach.

"What is this?" Kirei Kotomine was taken aback.

"The Four Symbols Seal—"
