"As expected of the man known as the Yellow Flash, his reaction speed is truly fast."
Uchiha Yuzuru looked at Minato Namikaze a hundred meters away and couldn't help but praise him.
If Minato Namikaze's reaction had been a little slower just now, he would have been pulled into the Kamui Dimension.
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru walking towards him unhurriedly, Minato Namikaze felt a pressure he had never experienced before.
To fight or to flee?
Minato Namikaze's heart was in a constant struggle.
Logically speaking, he should have immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to a safe place.
But emotionally, Minato Namikaze yearned to defeat Uchiha Yuzuru.
If he could defeat Uchiha Yuzuru, his prestige would become even higher, and his chances of becoming Hokage would greatly increase.
With his thoughts racing, Minato Namikaze made up his mind.
One more gamble.
Based on previous intelligence and the recent battle, Uchiha Yuzuru possessed the ability to phase his body.
After phasing his body, any attack would become ineffective.
However, if the opponent wanted to launch an attack, he had to materialize his body.
In other words, as long as he seized the moment when the opponent materialized his body to launch an attack, he might win this battle.
Thinking of this, Minato Namikaze's eyes became incredibly firm.
Although it was extremely difficult to seize such an opportunity in battle, he was very confident in his speed and reaction ability.
If he ran away without even trying, he felt he would develop a Heart Demon.
The battle strategy quickly formed in his mind, and Minato Namikaze actively picked up a kunai and charged towards Uchiha Yuzuru.
Seeing this, Uchiha Yuzuru also smiled: "To dare to actively attack me in this situation..."
"Minato, even though you are my opponent, you are not bad at all."
With that, Uchiha Yuzuru also quickened his pace.
The hundred-meter distance was crossed in an instant, and Minato Namikaze threw a Flying Thunder God kunai towards Uchiha Yuzuru.
The kunai passed through Uchiha Yuzuru's body without incident.
Uchiha Yuzuru's right hand rested on Minato Namikaze's shoulder: "I win."
Just as he was about to touch Minato Namikaze, Minato Namikaze's figure instantly disappeared.
The next second, Minato Namikaze teleported above Uchiha Yuzuru using the Flying Thunder God kunai.
"Yuzuru, this move is called Flying Thunder God Second Step!"
As Minato Namikaze spoke, the kunai in his hand stabbed down fiercely.
Immediately after, Minato Namikaze's pupils suddenly constricted.
His attack passed through Uchiha Yuzuru's body without any obstruction.
Uchiha Yuzuru had condensed a Rasengan in his hand at some point: "Minato, this move is called Rasengan Flash Super Spinning Dance Howl Kamui Two Styles!"
Bang!
The Rasengan slammed into the back of Minato Namikaze's chest, and the crisp sound of bones cracking echoed at the same time.
Minato Namikaze's body flew out like a kite with a broken string, rolling dozens of meters on the ground before finally coming to a stop.
"Pfft!"
Minato Namikaze spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with many fragments of internal organs.
But before Uchiha Yuzuru could deliver the finishing blow, Minato Namikaze's figure had already disappeared.
"This Chakra..."
"It's the Nine-Tailed."
Uchiha Yuzuru was slightly surprised.
From beginning to end, Minato Namikaze had never used Nine-Tailed Chakra.
According to his guess, the Nine-Tailed and Minato Namikaze should not have reached a truce, and normally Minato Namikaze should have completely Sealed the Nine-Tailed with his own Chakra and Sealing Ninjutsu.
For a Ninja like Minato, it was not strange to be able to do this.
What surprised him was that the Nine-Tailed actually chose to use its Chakra to save Minato Namikaze at the last moment... "Does it distrust me more than Minato Namikaze?"
"That's right... those eyes brought too many unpleasant memories to the Nine-Tailed back then."
Uchiha Yuzuru smiled and shook his head.
Back then, Uchiha Madara, with a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan, repeatedly called the Nine-Tailed a "beast" and then forcibly controlled it to use it as his personal Spirit Beast.
Compared to Minato Namikaze, it was only natural for the Nine-Tailed to distrust him more.
After understanding this, Uchiha Yuzuru didn't dwell on it too much.
With the System, he could almost be said to have no upper limit, while even if Minato Namikaze could use the Nine-Tailed's power, he would at most be at the Super Kage level, posing no threat to him.
It was still the same saying, enemies who had already been defeated by him would only see the gap between them widen as time went on.
Because in terms of the speed of increasing power, no one could compare to him.

Land of Fire.
Frontline camp.
Danzo Shimura sat upright in the main tent, silently processing the documents on his desk.
Since the Ninja World War began, he had been sent to the front line by Hiruzen Sarutobi to serve as the temporary commander.
Although there was suspicion of using his Root, it also gave him great power, and all major and minor affairs at the front line were basically decided by him.
He simply couldn't refuse the temptation of such absolute power.
Suddenly, a masked Root Ninja walked in quickly.
"Lord Danzo, three Ninja from Hidden Rain Village are requesting an audience outside."
Hearing the Root's report, Danzo Shimura frowned: "Are they sent by Hanzou?"
"No, they claim to be members of Akatsuki," the Root Ninja said in a deep voice, "They say they want to discuss stopping the war with us."
"Akatsuki?"
Danzo Shimura snorted coldly: "What kind of damn organization is that? I've never even heard of it."
"Go drive them away."
Upon hearing this, the Root Ninja added: "Oh, and they also said they are Lord Jiraiya's Disciples."
After hearing the Root Ninja's words, Danzo Shimura became a little interested.
After the Second Ninja World War ended, Jiraiya did indeed stay in Hidden Rain Village for three years.
He had also sent people to investigate, and it seemed Jiraiya had indeed taught Ninjutsu to three children from Hidden Rain Village.
"I'll go see them."
Danzo Shimura changed his mind.
Although Jiraiya usually seemed unreliable, he would never waste his time on three worthless brats for no reason.
These three people must have something special about them!
Led by the Root Ninja, Danzo Shimura arrived at the conference room in the camp.
In the conference room, Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan sat upright.
Because of Jiraiya, even though they were not Konoha Ninja, coming here felt like seeing family.
This made the three of them, who had been orphaned since childhood, feel a certain sense of nervousness.
As the door opened, Danzo Shimura slowly walked in.
"Are you Akatsuki?"
Yahiko immediately stood up and smiled: "That's right, we are Akatsuki, who are determined to bring light to Hidden Rain Village!"
