After Minato Namikaze finished speaking, he dashed straight toward Anlushan without waiting for Mirai Uchiha's reply.
Sāra quickly closed her eyes to locate the origin of the Dragon Veins, then rushed toward it without delay.
"Seeking death?!"
Anlushan controlled his massive body and launched an attack on Minato Namikaze.
Minato moved like a yellow flash, weaving effortlessly through the gaps between attacks.
Occasionally, he struck Anlushan's body with Rasengan techniques.
At that moment, Anlushan was utterly helpless against Minato.
Witnessing Minato's performance, Mirai Uchiha couldn't help but nod approvingly.
Even though this version of Minato wasn't at his peak yet, he already possessed incredible combat power.
Talent really is innate.
Seeing Mirai's reaction, Choza Akimichi proudly said, "That's what a true Konoha ninja can do."
Mirai Uchiha simply gave a small smile and remained silent.
Hearing that, Shibi Aburame let out a quiet scoff. "Not bad?"
"You really have a reckless tongue. No wonder you dared to impersonate a Konoha ninja."
"As I told you beforehand, once Anlushan is dealt with, we won't let your act slide anymore."
While they were talking, the battle between Minato and Anlushan intensified further.
[Dragon Veins Great Fireball Jutsu!]
Since he couldn't hit Minato, Anlushan began continuously releasing Great Fireball Techniques one after another.
Soon, the entire factory became an ocean of flames.
Several fireballs also surged directly toward Choza Akimichi and Shibi Aburame.
Minato could only flash back to shield them from the incoming Great Fireballs.
Seeing his tactic worked, Anlushan immediately shifted his target from Minato to Choza Akimichi and Shibi Aburame.
"You can dodge all you want—"
"Let's see if you dodge or save your companions!"
An unassuming tactic proved unexpectedly effective.
Even Minato Namikaze began to slow down after repeatedly deflecting the Great Fireballs fueled by the Dragon Veins.
Minato had just shielded Shibi Aburame and Choza Akimichi from another attack when Anlushan suddenly shifted his focus to Sāra. She had already reached near the origin of the Dragon Veins.
[Ultimate Dragon Veins Great Fireball Jutsu!]
An enormous purple fireball several times larger than previous ones surged toward Sāra.
"This is bad!"
"Minato Namikaze, Choza Akimichi, and the rest all turned pale.
This guy actually managed to launch such a powerful attack. They were in grave danger now.
At this critical moment, there was no way Minato could block an attack of this scale.
Anlushan's eyes gleamed with excitement.
Fools! His target had always been Sāra from the start.
Once Sāra was dead, the rest would be completely under his control.
"Darn it! If only I had been just a little faster!"
Sāra bit her lip tightly, her face filled with frustration.
Was she really going to die here?
Witnessing the murderer who killed her mother using the power of the Dragon Veins to enslave the people of Loulan...
"Someone, please save me!!!"
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew Sāra's long hair, and a dazzling silver-white light flashed by.
That unstoppable [Dragon Veins Great Fireball] was instantly split in two by a single sword slash.
"Queen Sāra, I have come to rescue you."
Looking at Mirai Uchiha's face, Sāra felt as if her heart stopped beating for a moment.
A feeling unlike any she had ever known surged through her inner will.
Sāra murmured instinctively, "So... handsome..."
Minato Namikaze, Choza Akimichi, and Shibi Aburame were also startled by Mirai Uchiha.
That sword is so fast!
How sharp that blade aura was!
Even Sakumo himself had never unleashed such a fierce strike!
Seeing his attack failed to kill Sāra, Anlushan became somewhat furious.
"You bastard! You've ruined my plans time and again—I'll kill you first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an even brighter blade aura rushed forth again.
With a single slash, Anlushan's body was cut clean in half.
"It's useless. No matter how many times you strike, it won't make a difference."
Accompanied by Anlushan's laughter, his body healed once more.
Minato couldn't help but warn, "Anlushan possesses an immortal body. Such attacks only waste your own strength."
"You should evade his strikes, maneuver around him, and buy Sāra time to sever the connection to the Dragon Veins."
Regaining her senses, Sāra quickly turned back, ready to continue interfacing with the Dragon Veins.
However, just as she began to move forward, Mirai Uchiha suddenly yanked her into his embrace.
"Avoid his strikes?"
"Watch me take him down with one slash."
Mirai reached out toward empty space, grabbing hold as the black Truth-Seeking Ball transformed into a pitch-black long katana.
A shiver from deep within their souls lingered in everyone's hearts.
Grasping the hilt, Mirai raised his blade and struck.
The black blade aura advanced slowly, yet Anlushan felt absolutely unable to dodge.
Silently, as easily as cutting through soft butter, Anlushan's body was split in two once again.
"How many times do I have to tell you… it won't work?"
Before Anlushan could finish speaking, his tone shifted to terror: "Damn you! What have you done to me?!"
"Why can't my body regenerate anymore?!"
"I can still feel the power of the Dragon Veins…"
"Damn it!"
Anlushan's voice, filled with hatred and unwillingness, gradually weakened until it finally disappeared completely.
"Just a speck of dust. Not even a fraction of what I am."
Mirai Uchiha snorted coldly. The black blade formed from Truth-Seeking Balls in her hand dissolved back into nothingness.
Truth-Seeking Balls could reduce anything they touched to oblivion.
That Anlushan managed to utter a few final words after being struck by the Truth-Seeking Ball proved the immense power of the Dragon Veins.
But an ant remained an ant.
Even if a human faced an ant that could resurrect endlessly, it would still be nothing more than a toy.
[Ding! Congratulations, Master. Reward obtained successfully: +1 Chakra!]
Mirai Uchiha didn't pay attention to the System's notification echoing within her mind. Instead, she focused her gaze on Sāra in her arms.
"That slash just now… was it cool?"
Although fully aware that the other person was teasing her, Sāra couldn't resist her own heart and softly replied, "Cool…"
Seeing the shy look on Sāra's face, Mirai Uchiha couldn't help but throw her head back laughing. "Hahahaha…"
At this moment, Minato Namikaze, Choza Akimichi, and Shino Aburame beside them stood rooted to the spot, completely dumbfounded.
Holy hell! With just one slash, she took down Anlushan before his Dragon Veins' power could even react…
