Minato Namikaze's Nen Ability awakening wasn't as drawn out; Naruto directly used 'Hatsu' to stimulate the life energy within him.
Streams of life energy began to surge from his body.
Within three minutes, Minato Namikaze had controlled the erupting life energy and successfully achieved 'En'.
"So fast... as expected of the man known as the fastest in the Ninja World!"
Itachi and Shisui both exclaimed in admiration at this sight.
Compared to them, Minato Namikaze's speed was indeed much faster.
It wasn't because Minato Namikaze's aptitude far surpassed theirs, but because Minato Namikaze had already awakened once in the Sealing Space.
Moreover, he had awakened it himself, so for the second awakening, he only needed to find that feeling, and it would be very easy to achieve!
Naruto took a cup of water, placed a leaf on it, and handed it to Minato Namikaze.
"Dad! Try it, are you still a Specialization type?"
Naruto asked with anticipation.
"Mm!" Minato Namikaze nodded and then began to test his Nen Ability type according to the water divination method.
As he placed his hands, wrapped in Nen, on both sides of the cup, the water within the cup began to disappear at a visible rate.
When the water completely vanished, even the emerald green leaf was gone, as if it had never existed from the start!
"Sure enough, it's the same as when I awakened it in the Sealing Space!"
Seeing this, Minato Namikaze said with great joy.
Minato Namikaze was indeed quite happy, after all, when he was in the Sealing Space, he had only just begun to understand his Nen Ability; if it had suddenly changed, all his painstaking research during that period would have been in vain!
"Speaking of which... Dad, have you developed your Nen Ability?"
Naruto asked curiously.
"Hehe..." Minato Namikaze chuckled, "Of course I have, I'll show you in a couple of days!"
Minato Namikaze's meaning was clear: he didn't plan to demonstrate it now.
Since his dad didn't want to show it, Naruto naturally didn't insist.
"In that case, to help you better adapt to your body, let's have a few battles!"
Naruto suggested, and he also glanced at Shisui and Itachi.
Seeing this, the two of them also became excited.
"We are willing to be Fourth Hokage's opponents!"
Minato Namikaze didn't refuse; Naruto was right, to adapt to a new body faster, combat was indeed the best method!
"Alright then! Come at me, both of you!"
As he spoke, Minato Namikaze held a Flying Thunder God Kunai, ready for battle.
At the same time.
In the Land of Rain, at a temporary Akatsuki Organization base.
Kakuzu and Sasori were waiting there, and the person they were waiting for was, of course, Orochimaru, who had not yet arrived.
"Damn Orochimaru, making me wait for him for so long!"
Sasori said, clearly annoyed.
At this moment, Sasori was using Loli Sasori's body, and her pose, with hands on hips, complaining about Orochimaru, gave off a very tsundere girl vibe.
"Ahem... I say, Sasori! Can't you just change back to your previous appearance? The one where you're sitting inside your Hiruko!"
Kakuzu truly felt uncomfortable seeing Loli Sasori!
In fact, Kakuzu was already bewildered the first time he saw Sasori.
Because Sasori had always appeared before all Akatsuki Organization members in the form of Hiruko.
But today, after arriving here and meeting with Sasori, he actually emerged directly from Hiruko, and his appearance was that of a small loli!
Sasori heard Kakuzu's words, glanced at him, and said, "I'm just adapting to the performance of my new puppet!"
To prove to Kakuzu that he wasn't a loli, Sasori even took out his original humanoid body and continued, "This is my original appearance!"
Kakuzu: ...
What could Kakuzu say? He could only remain silent.
Just then, a childish voice rang out from outside the temporary base.
"Hehehe, sorry! I'm late!"
Hearing this voice, Sasori and Kakuzu both looked out and saw a boy of about ten years old, smiling at them.
"You... you're Orochimaru?"
Kakuzu asked in disbelief.
"Yes!" Orochimaru nodded with a smile.
After Orochimaru admitted his identity, Kakuzu was somewhat speechless.
If it weren't for Orochimaru wearing the Akatsuki Organization's black robe with red clouds, he really wouldn't have recognized him!
Ignoring Kakuzu, Orochimaru looked at his old partner, Sasori.
"Oh, Sasori, you really did change your gender, didn't you!"
Sasori didn't care about Orochimaru's teasing at all; instead, he retorted with sarcasm.
"Little brother Orochimaru, you've finally become a pervert too!"
"Hehehe, the feeling is mutual!"
Watching the sharp exchange between the loli and the boy, Kakuzu felt completely exasperated.
What the heck... Am I supposed to bring this loli and this boy to invite Uchiha Shisui to join the Akatsuki Organization?
Never mind what Uchiha Shisui would think, I myself would feel so embarrassed!
My coolness factor is already shattered on the ground...
Sasori and Orochimaru, unaware of Kakuzu's thoughts, continued their verbal sparring.
At the end of their bickering, Sasori directly changed bodies, sealing the loli body in a scroll and instead using his original appearance.
"Hehehe, Orochimaru, if you're so capable, you change bodies too!"
Orochimaru: ...
"Alright..." Just then, Kakuzu's voice interrupted their trash talk.
"Since everyone's here, let's go!"
Orochimaru nodded at this, and Sasori also gave up arguing with Orochimaru, returning to the loli's body.
Sasori truly wanted to quickly adapt to all three bodies.
All three bodies were strong, but they all required adaptation.
And so, the three set off, heading towards the Red Base.
On the other side.
On the open ground of the Red Base.
Itachi and Shisui panted, looking at Minato Namikaze, who still wore a gentle smile.
"As expected of Fourth Hokage, his strength is too great!"
Shisui, though exhausted, had eyes and an expression that showed great excitement.
After all, his opponent was his idol, the Fourth Hokage.
The previous battle between the three could basically be described as a complete domination by Minato Namikaze.
Itachi had not yet fully developed his own Nen Ability.
Although Shisui's Nen Ability had reached a certain level of development, his Nen was insufficient, and its power was still too small.
So, the two could only fight Minato Namikaze using Ninja combat methods.
However, Itachi's most skilled genjutsu and Shisui's most skilled Body Flicker Technique were completely useless in front of Minato Namikaze.
Against genjutsu, Minato Namikaze also had Mangekyo, so it was basically ineffective.
As for the Body Flicker Technique, no matter how fast it was, could it be faster than Flying Thunder God?
This was also because Minato Namikaze hadn't even used his Mangekyo Sharingan's ocular techniques; if he had, the two would have been defeated even faster!
