"Captain!!"
"He's already dead."
Xin helpfully clarified, flicking the blood off his kunai. Without looking back, he said to Minato and Nawaki:
"These three chûnin are yours to handle."
Minato and Nawaki needed battle experience, needed to hone their skills, and they needed war merits.
After dispatching the Sand jōnin, Xin left the three chûnin to them.
Both nodded, silently launching their attacks.
Panicked, two of the Sand chunin rushed to meet them, while the third immediately fired a flare, signaling for reinforcements.
Seeing the flare, the surrounding Sand ninjas quickly converged on their location.
Xin watched Minato and Nawaki's battle with a calm expression. If they needed help, he was ready to step in immediately. As for the approaching enemies, Xin wasn't concerned. Unless the entire Sand Village army arrived, this vanguard of a few hundred wasn't worth worrying about.
Minato and Nawaki's combat styles were polar opposites.
Minato relied on his exceptional body flicker technique, striking with lethal precision at the perfect moment.
His reflexes, nearly superhuman, allowed him to exploit even the tiniest opening to deliver a fatal blow.
On the other hand, Nawaki's approach was all about brute force.
Nawaki had an immense amount of chakra-maybe not on the scale of a "chakra sea," but definitely enough to be called a "chakra ton."
And being from the Senju clan, he had plenty of jutsu scrolls and notes at his disposal.
As a result, Nawaki's fighting style relied heavily on ninjutsu.
The legendary Taijutsu and Genjutsu that made the Senju clan as famous as the Uchiha were barely visible in his approach.
Watching Nawaki unleash a barrage of ninjutsu, Xin couldn't help but think that Nawaki might become the next Third Hokage.
The difference was that Nawaki didn't know as many jutsu, but he had an overwhelming amount of chakra to throw them around.
Thanks to his abundant chakra, Nawaki managed to turn the C-rank Water Release: Wild Water Wave into something akin to a B-rank jutsu.
A massive jet of water blasted out, smashing the enemy's corpse until it was unrecognizable.
The scene was almost too gruesome to watch.
Xin covered his eyes, trying to avoid getting a headache.
He suddenly felt the same urge Tsunade often did-to just smack Nawaki around a bit.
"I won."
As Nawaki finished off his opponent and looked around for the last enemy, Minato appeared beside him, casually tossing aside a kunai with a nicked blade.
"..."
Damn it!
He beat me to it again!
Nawaki felt the urge to curse.
Both he and Minato were well aware that they couldn't compete with Xin, so they ended up constantly trying to outdo each other, whether openly or subtly.
But most of the time, Nawaki ended up on the losing side.
Why does Minato always get there first?
Nawaki scratched his head in frustration.
