Chapter 240: The Surrendered Minato and the Unrelenting Jiraiya
After losing his will, the combat strength of Impure World Reincarnation’s body could be said to be fluctuating between high and low, it was purely relying on his own instinct to fight.
However, without a doubt, after the old and weak Hiruzen obtained Impure World Reincarnation’s body, his combat strength increased a lot.
“Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique)!”
Hiruzen threw out a huge Shuriken in his hand, closed his fingers, and quickly made a series of hand seals. The Shuriken in his hand instantly split into a pile of shadow clones, shooting in the direction of Jiraiya and others!
“Doton, Doryū Jōheki (Earth Release: Earth-Style Rampart)!”
Jiraiya made a hand seal at the same time, releasing an Earth-style Rampart in front of the giant shuriken. But the thick wall was cut open by the giant shuriken!
Jiraiya could not help but frown and say with lingering fear, “This old man is really ruthless!”
However, just as Jiraiya let out a sigh of relief, Minato’s clear voice appeared in his ears, “Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique)!”
This made Jiraiya almost forget!
Minato was the same as Hiruzen. Both of them were actually skilled in Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique. It was just that their direction was different!
After Minato threw a shuriken in the air, his hands quickly joined together to form a seal. His speed was faster than Hiruzen by more than a fraction!
In the next second, the small shuriken suddenly split into countless clones!f???wｅ????e?. c??
Just like those dense twinkling stars in the dark night sky, these stars fell from the sky!
Those dense and innumerable meteors were the masterpieces of Minato releasing the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique. Every ninjutsu in the hands of Minato would have extremely powerful power researched by him!
“Katon, Karyū Endan (Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet)”
Jiraiya quickly closed his palm, opened his mouth, and spat out a powerful flame towards the falling shuriken, burning the densely packed shuriken in the air!
The shuriken in the sky turned into smoke under the attack of the flame and dissipated.
Even the shadow clone shuriken was still a shadow clone in the end. As long as it encountered a sufficiently powerful attack, it would disappear.
“Phew, it’s finally solved?”
Choza stood up, shook his head, and looked at Minato in the distance, he whispered, “Minato is still so terrible…”
“After all, he is the most perfect ninja…”
Shikaku slowly closed his palm and said in a low voice, “Let’s try to control them first, Kagemane no Jutsu (Shadow Imitation Technique)!”
A shadow quickly extended from under his feet and spread towards Fourth Hokage. Although it was only a tentative move, Shikaku would do his best!
After all, once Minato ran rampant on the battlefield, it would be a huge problem for them.
Obviously, this was completely useless.
Minato’s speed was definitely not something that the shadow could catch up to. However, Shikaku did not stop. He only watched as Minato dodged the shadow and whispered to his teammates, “Stop him, Choza!”
“Understood! Bubun Baika no Jutsu (Partial Multi-Size Technique)!”
Choza’s fist suddenly became huge, and he suddenly punched towards Minato’s area, forcing Minato to disappear in an instant!
However, no one expected that Minato would jump onto Choza’s hand, leaving a mark of the Flying Thunder G.o.d on his body!
“Is it over?”
This was the first thought that came to Choza’s mind.
Once Minato left behind the mark of the Flying Thunder G.o.d, it was almost impossible to escape his pursuit!
“No, just in time!”
Shikaku chuckled. He glanced at Inoichi who was beside him and whispered, “Then I will leave the rest to you, Inoichi!”
“Hmm…”
Inoichi reached out his palm and landed on Shikaku. He used his Mind Body Switch Technique to control Shikaku’s body and sense where Minato was.
“He’s here!”
Inoichi found Minato in his perception.
He said in a low voice, “But I can’t tell when he will appear next to Choza…”
“Right now!”
The shadow of Shikaku instantly expanded, wrapping around all the surrounding areas, and coincidentally wrapping around Minato who had just landed!
In the next second, just when they thought that they could control Minato, a trace of golden chakra gradually emerged from Minato’s body and converged on his body into a golden chakra coat.
Kyuubi mode!
Minato instantly broke away from the control of Shadow Imitation Technique, and swept out a kick, sending the three people of Shikaku, Inoichi, and Choza flying!
“…”
Jiraiya’s jaw was almost scared off. He stared at Minato, who was bathed in golden light and murmured, “This is… Kyuubi’s Chakra!”
What the h.e.l.l!
Letting Shikaku and the other two deal with an ordinary Minato was difficult enough, but Minato still had Kyuubi’s Chakra!
No, not only that, he could even perfectly use Kyuubi’s chakra!
Just the current aura of Minato was clearly more than one level stronger than when Naruto revealed his eight tails during the Chunin exam!
What the h.e.l.l was this!
However, it was not a bad thing for Minato to use this to erupt Kyuubi’s chakra.
Because his will has been restored. Although he still can’t get rid of Uehara’s control, he could at least report a lot of information to Jiraiya…
A trace of relief flashed across Minato’s face. He turned to look at Jiraiya, and he seemed to have survived a disaster, “Long time no see Jiraiya-sensei…”
“Minato…”
Jiraiya’s look was still on his golden chakra coat. He asked in a low voice, “What exactly is going on?”
“This matter…”
“Fourth Hokage-sama!”
Just as Minato was about to open his mouth to explain, he suddenly felt Uehara’s will once again descend into his mind!
In his spiritual world.
Minato stood in a lake.
Uehara’s face appeared above him like a G.o.d. He said in a gloomy voice, “Fourth Hokage-sama, there are some things you shouldn’t say. Originally, the task I gave you was just to hold them back. If you say too much, then I can only let you kill them.”
“…”
Minato raised his head and looked at the huge face above his spiritual world. His face was ugly as he asked, “At least, you have to tell me what your purpose is!”
“Don’t ask too much.”
Uehara looked gloomily at the golden little man in the spiritual world and whispered, “I thought it would be Second Hokage who regained his senses first. I didn’t expect it to be you. But it doesn’t matter. As long as you dare to leak information, I will control your body and kill them!”
After Uehara finished speaking, he added, “Let me give you a friendly reminder. The current Fifth Hokage Tsunade is right next to me. I can kill her at any time and clean up all the higher-ups in Konoha!”
Uehara felt that it was not safe, and continued to add, “Since you used Kyuubi’s Chakra, then you can sense the location of your son! Obito is near him, so I can kill Naruto and Kakashi at any time!”
“…”
This person… was a little vicious!
It was not easy for Minato to regain his consciousness, so he wanted to use this opportunity to report some information to Jiraiya. He did not expect that Uehara would immediately use Jiraiya’s life to threaten him.
It had to be said that this kind of threat was very effective.
Because Minato was very clear that with his current ability to use Kyuubi’s power, Jiraiya, Shikaku, and the others were definitely not his match.
If Jiraiya got the information, and the entire upper echelons of Konoha were wiped out, then what was the point of getting the information?
No, it seemed that he could use other methods?
For example, a codeword?
“Don’t think about using codewords or gestures to leak the information.”
Uehara said coldly. He directly wrote the ending for Minato, “I never look at the process. I only look at the result. Maybe if I feel that something is wrong, I will get rid of them immediately. So you better think clearly where you should stand!”
Uehara looked at the silent Minato and said coldly, “Don’t think that you are the only chess piece. You and I are just a messenger that can be replaced at any time. If you want to do more things with this body in the future, you better follow my orders.”
Uehara’s huge face in the spiritual world added, “If all the higher-ups in Konoha are killed, you should know what will happen to Konoha, right?”
“I understand.”
Minato slowly lowered his head.
This kind of threat was very simple and crude, but also very effective.
Compared to those seals, Uehara used his feelings and fetters, which were undoubtedly more effective. He could even exchange for Minato’s submission.
After all, Minato wanted to reveal the information for the safety of Konoha. If Konoha was gone, what was the point of him revealing the information?
But if he did not reveal the information…
It should be a slow death of Konoha, right?
Minato felt that he had to think of a perfect plan.
Uehara slowly looked at Minato under the spiritual world, and suddenly revealed a sinister smile, “Just in case, I have to warn you in advance. In addition to what I threatened you before, I should add something else.”
In the spiritual world, Uehara’s huge smiling face was like a devil’s smile in Minato’s eyes. He gently opened his mouth and said, “If Jiraiya and the others know my true ident.i.ty, I will revive Uzumaki Kushina and control her to fight with your son Naruto. In order to avoid this tragedy, you will definitely listen to me, right?”
“…”
Minato could not help but grit his teeth.
To actually let Naruto, who had never seen his mother, and Kushina, who had never seen his son, duel with each other, was this still a sane person could do!
This demon took almost every aspect of him into consideration.
Sensei, wife, son, student, companions.
Almost every threat was fatal to Minato. This was the first time in Minato’s world that he had seen such an evil guy!
This kind of demon!
In particular, his strength was also very strong.
Minato gritted his teeth and raised his head to look at Uehara’s face. He asked, “I have to know why you did this, right?”
“You will know sooner or later.”
Uehara’s voice gradually became ethereal, “Don’t worry, what I have done is not a bad thing for Konoha. I have to hide in order to deal with a hidden mastermind.”
“Then…”
Minato looked up and said coldly, “I will cooperate with you for the time being, but I don’t want to hurt Jiraiya-sensei!”
“Yes, it’s okay. I don’t want to hurt him either.”
In the spiritual world, Uehara slowly nodded and whispered, “I’ll leave that battlefield to you. Just help me stall Jiraiya and the others.”
Uehara’s will projection dissipated from Minato’s spiritual world, leaving behind only one sentence, “I am also a kind person. I will not do something as cruel as forcing a student to kill him.”
After Uehara’s will dissipate.
Minato returned to reality and his face was slightly ugly. He carefully checked his body and he was still under Uehara’s control.
The only thing he could be free of was his mouth.
Thinking of Uehara’s threat, Minato slowly clenched his fist. He looked at Jiraiya and said in a deep voice, “I’m sorry, Jiraiya-sensei, I must stop what you want to do now. This is the choice I have to make.”
“Hahahaha…”
Jiraiya was not angry. Instead, he laughed heartily. He slowly closed his fingers and formed a challenge seal, “Minato, if I remember correctly, you really wanted to challenge me, right?”
“That’s right.”
Minato also slowly formed a challenge seal, and the golden chakra cloak in his body gradually faded away, and he once again returned to his normal state.
Minato looked straight at the gradually becoming solemn expression of Jiraiya, and a trace of seriousness appeared on his face, “Then… Sensei, please advise me.”
“You guys go and fight the old man!”
Jiraiya ordered Shikaku and the others to attack Third Hokage. He slowly closed his palm and continued to chat, “Do you need to make any rules?”
“No rules.”
Minato shook his head and said in a low voice, “Even Jiraiya-sensei can kill me because I won’t die in Impure World Reincarnation’s state!”
“Can I use a sealing technique?”
Jiraiya looked at Minato and continued to ask, “I am very good at using a sealing technique… I wonder if I can seal you up now?”
Minato’s face immediately revealed a bit of embarra.s.sment, “This might be possible, but I am also very good at sealing techniques. Even if Sensei used up his life to use the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, it would still be useless, because I was…”
Minato’s voice suddenly stopped. He could not reveal any information about Uehara, he had almost leaked it just now!
“Then, can I use Sage techniques?”
A meaningful smile appeared on Jiraiya’s face. He slowly wiped the toad oil paint and formed a summoning hand seal. He shouted, “Kuchiyose!”
“Sensei… is still the same!”
Minato shook his head helplessly and said softly, “Sensei has been chatting with me all this time just to prepare enough time for the two Sage f.u.kasaku and Shima to enter Sage mode, right?”
A burst of summoning smoke sounded.
At this moment, Jiraiya’s image had changed greatly. His face was painted with oil, and two small toads appeared on his shoulders. However, his aura had become much stronger!
Jiraiya waved his hand proudly and laughed heartily, “Ha ha ha ha… You little brat guessed right!”
“Who is the enemy this time?”
Shima looked around and suddenly looked at Minato in disbelief, “Wait, little Jiraiya, isn’t this little Minato?”
Minato nodded in a friendly manner and whispered, “It’s been a long time! Sage Shima, Sage f.u.kasaku.”
“In short, Minato has been resurrected and controlled by someone.”
Jiraiya said in a concise and comprehensive way about the current situation. He said in a low voice, “We have to defeat him now. We have to rush over to support Naruto and Kakashi. Maybe they are surrounded by Akatsuki!”
“I see…”
f.u.kasaku nodded with a dignified face. He said in a low voice, “This is not easy. If I remember correctly… Minato seems to have learned Sage mode, right?”
“That’s right, Sage mode, activate!”
After Minato calmly nodded, his eyes suddenly flashed with the oil color of Sage mode, “Because I have the help of Kyuubi in my body, it can help me extract natural energy so that I can enter Sage mode at any time…”
Jiraiya, “…”
f.u.kasaku, “…”
Shima, “…”
“I’m sorry, Jiraiya-sensei.”
Minato shook his head, a trace of apology flashing across his face. He seriously declared, “I can only tell you that I must block your pa.s.sage.”
“Then come!”
Jiraiya closed his palm, his face also becoming solemn, “Minato, don’t feel sorry. I once told you that in the world of ninjas, no disciple must always obey his Sensei. Moreover, you are just being controlled!”
After that, Jiraiya said in a deep voice, “What we have to do is not to defeat Minato, but to break through his defense and rush to the position of Naruto and Kakashi!”
