Chapter 20: The Blood Flower Blooming In The Air, The Speedy Ninja Did Not Avoid The Attack
A slender and seamless barrier of sword light appeared before everyone's eyes.
Minato was completely bewildered. A continuous sound of wind breaking filled his ears. The blade split the air, creating an extremely sharp whistling noise. These sounds gathered together, turning into a buzzing roar that erupted atop the Naval Headquarters building.
Pushed to the ultimate limit, the movement of the sword was no longer visible.
All the swordsmen in the entire world seemed to choke, unable to speak. Even Hawkeye was no exception.
A second is not a long time; it passes in the blink of an eye.
But in the next second, Yuichi stopped the Zanpakutō and returned to his original stance, pointing diagonally at the ground. The airflow remaining on the blade formed a cyclone, spreading instantly and turning into a strong wind that blew Yuichi's robe.
As for the kunai thrown by Minato—they had burst into pieces in the air, scattering in all directions. The fragments fell, piercing into the ground with clinking sounds.
Looking at the calm Yuichi, who had swung his sword at such terrifying speed without seeming tired at all, Minato was stunned. His breathing remained steady. Did this guy feel nothing after such exertion? How could people in this world have such terrifying physiques?
Huh—
Suddenly, Yuichi moved.
Instantaneously!
Minato only felt a blur before his eyes and heard a rush of wind in his ear.
The next second, Yuichi's face flashed past his own. Minato instantly felt an extremely cold breath travel from his spine straight to the top of his skull.
This feeling! It was just like the last time he died. Minato would never forget it. And now, experiencing it again, he was paralyzed by the memory.
For a moment, Yuichi's face disappeared from his field of vision. Suddenly, he seemed to hear Yuichi's voice.
"Is this the 'Golden Flash' of the world of ninja?"
"So slow..."
In this moment, Minato even forgot to use the Flying Thunder God Technique because he was paralyzed by Yuichi's words.
He! How does he know the name Golden Flash?
This was a title only people in the Ninja World would know. This world was completely different! How could people here know such a thing?
In an instant, countless guesses flooded Minato's mind.
However, at this moment—
Clang—Clang!!
The deafening sound of a blade rang out.
Naval Headquarters, Marineford!
In the sky above the square in front of the headquarters building, Minato jumped into the air, surrounded by several gorgeous sword lights.
All the Marine soldiers stared wide-eyed. They had only one word in their hearts: Fast!
What a quick slash!
They just saw Yuichi jump up slightly, the kanji for 'Justice' on his white coat fluttering in the wind. Suddenly, the light of the blade seemed to flash from under the eyelids of every Marine soldier.
Then, the figures of Yuichi and Minato interlaced.
Scarlet blood shone, blooming in the air.
On the Zanpakutō Yuichi was holding, a few drops of blood blew off the blade. Yuichi, suspended in the air, smiled.
Sure enough, Minato was stunned for a moment when he said the words "Golden Flash"! Otherwise, it would be impossible to hit Minato, who possessed the Flying Thunder God. Even though the previous kunai had been cut to pieces, Yuichi knew that Minato must have set up kunai elsewhere on the island, or left a mark somewhere else. If he wanted to escape, a moment was enough. If he moved to another location with the Flying Thunder God, Yuichi could do nothing.
Minato! The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. Konoha's Golden Flash, a man feared by all ninjas.
In another world, he got hurt by another horrible man.
When such a picture appeared in the Ninja World, the ninjas in the Five Great Shinobi Countries felt it was incredible. That was the man who mastered space ninjutsu. His speed couldn't even be matched by the Raikage of the Hidden Cloud! He could be called the fastest ninja in the world.
But such a legend was hacked by a guy with monstrous sword skills in another world. Were the people in that world so strong? His attack was actually faster than Minato's!
Konoha Anbu Ninja: "Impossible! How could Lord Fourth be... hit by that guy!"
"Why didn't Lord Fourth dodge at that moment? With his speed, he could completely dodge!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Minato... what's wrong with you? Why didn't you teleport!"
If anyone else had doubts, Hiruzen was fully aware of Minato's power. Although the blow just now was truly fast—too fast for normal people to react to—it shouldn't have been too difficult for Minato to avoid. It was impossible to get hit!
But Minato didn't make any moves. He just stood there stupidly, as if he had completely forgotten Yuichi in front of him. Very strange!
Fourth Raikage A also had a look of surprise and confusion. "Why... Why didn't you dodge? Minato, what are you doing?"
The Cloud Shinobi around the Raikage were a little overwhelmed by his sudden roar. Maybe Konoha's Fourth Hokage just didn't have time to dodge. Why did Lord Raikage suddenly become so emotional?
Pirate World.
In the sky above the Naval Headquarters building, Minato, whose chest was torn with several bloody gashes, fell from the sky. At this moment, Minato didn't care about his injury at all; his eyes were still fixed on Yuichi.
He... how... how did he know...!
Swish!!
Just when everyone was watching Minato fall, an extremely fast wind sounded suddenly. A green figure flashed across the air in an instant, rushing straight toward Yuichi.
At the same time, Kakashi, who was acting as a decoy below, caught the falling Minato.
Boom!!!!!
A fierce explosion of air rang out loudly.
A strangely dressed guy suddenly appeared in the sky, yelling, "Take this!!"
It was a pity that this person's attack failed. Yuichi, who was supposed to fall like Minato, cast Moonwalk in the air.
Bang bang!
Stepping on the air twice in a row, he jumped back to the roof of the Naval Headquarters building in an instant.
As a result, the attacker's prediction was wrong, and he kicked heavily into the building, breaking directly through the wall. The whole person smashed into the Naval Headquarters building!
Boom!!!
"Who is that?"
"Looking at his outfit, he seems to be a 'ninja' too!"
