Crack!
Namikaze Minato's pupils widened instantly. The lava used for defense was extremely thick, rendering the kunai unable to pierce through...
More terrifying was the scorching heat, which, although not in direct contact, managed to burn the skin on Namikaze Minato's hand.
Roshi turned his head and coldly said, "Flying Thunder God Jutsu? I didn't expect there would be a genius in Konoha who mastered this jutsu!"
"But it's unfortunate for you that you encountered me. I am not afraid of your laughable kunai..."
Roshi twisted his sore neck and swung a lava-laden heavy punch horizontally towards Namikaze Minato!
In an instant, Namikaze Minato vanished from the spot, and Roshi's attack missed.
"This guy is not the type I excel at dealing with!"
Teleporting away, Namikaze Minato furrowed his brows in thought: "If Aomi were here, he could easily subdue him. Although Lava Release is a Kekkeigenkai, it appears even more vulnerable to Water Release than Fire Release..."
"What a pity, Aomi is probably also tied up in the Hidden Mist? The ninjas from the Blood Mist Village are not that easy to handle..."
What Namikaze Minato didn't expect was...
Aomi was actually standing not far from him, leisurely observing the noisy battlefield, learning some interesting ninjutsu.
Many low-level Earth Release and Water Release techniques, although often not very significant, were still considered accumulated materials.
Under the cover of "Demonic Illusion: Steaming Multistoried Building," Aomi remained invisible, unnoticed by anyone on this battlefield.
"Lava Release Chakra Mode is quite a formidable technique, even more advanced than Lightning Release Chakra Mode, but its weaknesses are also more apparent."
The Tomoe in Aomi's eyes slowly rotated, replicating this jutsu: "Kisame could take down Roshi, but facing Namikaze Minato would be a tough battle; this is the restraint of attributes..."
"Indeed, one must keep learning and maintain a humble heart."
Aomi turned to look and saw Jiraiya also caught in a fierce struggle.
With the enhancement of Boil Release and Five-tailed Chakra, Han's speed made his burly figure appear like a phantom, each punch carrying terrifying power.
If it weren't for Jiraiya's exceptional taijutsu and some protective ninjutsu like Needle Jizo, he might have struggled to withstand it.
"Jiraiya-sensei, go kill their rear ninjas!"
Namikaze Minato instantaneously moved to Jiraiya's side, furiously throwing a kunai into the distance, and the two of them teleported to the rear of the Hidden Rock!
When not fighting against these two Jinchuriki, this master-apprentice duo began their slaughter.
Under the omnipresent Flying Thunder God Jutsu, every golden flash meant the death of a Hidden Rock ninja, the killing speed akin to mowing grass!
And with Chakra as abundant as Jiraiya's, various Five Elements Jutsu were unleashed madly, reminiscent of the style of Sarutobi Hiruzen in his youth.
Roshi and Han exchanged a glance, decisively abandoning the attack and quickly retreating...
That damned Flying Thunder God Jutsu user!
There are too many ninjas in the Hidden Rock, and how many does Konoha have?
This mowing-style tactic, although it seemed like an overload for the ninjas of the Hidden Rock Village, they were still real comrades!
This is not the Blood Mist Village; there are still bonds here...
Thus, under the evolution of Namikaze Minato's Flying Thunder God Jutsu, this battle became a game of preventing each other from mowing down their comrades.
Roshi and Han, Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato, chasing each other, continuously leaping across the battlefield...
And the other Konoha ninja, inspired by what they witnessed, had their morale greatly boosted!
As the battle fully unfolded, the battlefield was divided into segments, each fiercely contested.
The fighting distance between Namikaze Minato and Jiraiya, Roshi and Han grew further from the center...
And on the edge of the battlefield.
Uchiha Obito's eyes sparkled with three Tomoe, neatly taking down the menacing Hidden Rock in front of him, revealing a handsome smile.
What he didn't realize was...
Behind him, Aomi was watching him with interest, as well as the person above him—
Third Tsuchikage, Both Scales Onoki!
