章 26: Fighting Minato

"If it was not your intention to spy on me, then what was your intention of coming here?" Asked Yama.

"Jiraiya Sensei told me that we have a young genius from Konoha in our camp, so I decided to visit you and look at your skills."

Yama laughed a little when he heard Minato. "So basically that pervert sent you here to humiliate and degrade me."

Minato was once again surprised by Yama, he couldn't believe that Yama was so smart that he could grasp the truth of the situation so quickly.

"Aren't you ashamed, you're ten years older than me, you're considered the greatest genius of all time, your teacher is the perfect Sannin, your lover is the girl from the Uzumaki clan who can teach you high level Fuinjutsu, and yet you still want to bully me.

"A kid who got stronger on his own, who didn't have a teacher like the perverted Sannin to help him get stronger, the kid who survived and fought alone in the war and made a name for himself, and you want to come here and put me down.

"I expected better from you but you turned out to be scum like the rest of them, you want to humiliate me don't you, well I wish you luck because you're going to need it and let me tell you one thing, if you're careless I'm going to rip your head off."

Yama sounded angry on the outside, but inside he was very happy. He just wanted to make fun of Minato a little, just because he could and because he thought it would be fun.

Friday could sense Yama's true feelings, so he knew he wasn't really angry at Minato and was just pretending to be angry, but Pakura didn't have Friday's ability to sense feelings, so she thought Yama was angry at Minato.

She walked up next to Yama and glared at Minato.

"If you dare to even touch Yama, I swear I will kill you if thats the last thing i do. He's done so much for your village and instead of rewarding him you treat him like this, I guess all shinobi villages are just scum."

Minato was now undecided on whether or not he should fight Yama. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that fighting him was wrong and that he should try to mentor him instead.

Yama could see the hesitation on Minato's face and began to panic. He wanted to fight Minato and compete with him, he didn't want to waste this opportunity. He touched Pakura on the shoulder.

"Pakura, it's alright, I want to see the strength of the greatest genius of all time."

He looked Pakura in the eye and gave her a small nod to tell her it was okay. Pakura backed away and went to a corner with Friday to watch the fight.

Yama glared at Minato. "Well, what are you waiting for, come at me."

Minato still hesitated.

"Advanced Soru."

While Minato was still hesitating, Yama came right in front of him. He didn't want to use the finger pistol because that was deadly and he had caught Minato off guard, so he didn't want to hurt him because that would be unfair.

So instead he just raised the temperature of his finger and flicked it at Minato's forehead. Just as Yama's finger lightly touched his forehead. Minato used the Flying Thunder God and backed away.

'He's much faster than I expected, but that was an attack I could have easily dodged. I need to concentrate.'

"Haha, so much for being a genius, if I wanted I could have killed you right here, do you want me to show you how?"

"Flaming finger gun." Yama once again raised the temperature of his finger and this time he trusted the finger to a tree next to him and his finger went through the hard tree as if it was butter.

Minato saw this and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry for disappointing you." He took out two of his marked kunai and spoke slowly. "Let's go for a second round, this time you won't be able to touch me."

Yama didn't take those words lightly, he carefully ran towards Minato again. Minato threw one of the kunai at his head.

Yama dodged the kunai by moving his head slightly, but he kept a close eye on the kunai, knowing that Minato could teleport there.

Just as he was about to reach Minato, Minato let go of the other kunai from his hand and the kunai began to fall to the ground.

Yama knew that Minato was about to teleport behind him, so he turned around and hit the kunai behind him. Minato appeared there as he expected, but just as his punch was about to connect with Minato, Minato disappeared again.

Minato teleported back to the kunai, which he released from his hand. The kunai was still in the air at this point, that's how fast the two of them were moving.

Yama knew he messed up and activated Arnament Haki all over his backside, not knowing where Minato would attack him.

Minato created a Rasengan and attacked Yama at his ribs. Yama saw this with his Observation Haki and increased Arnament Haki concentration on his ribs.

The Rasengan landed on his ribs and he was sent flying forward, but he managed to land on his feet. Yama wasn't really hurt because he used Arnament Haki at the last second.

"I didn't expect you to be able to defend against that, is that a jutsu you developed too?"

Pakura was worried about Yama, but when she heard Minato, she let out a sigh of relief. Friday, on the other hand, barked and cheered for Yama, knowing that neither of them had any malicious intent, so they would both be fine.

Yama laughed and didn't answer him. He slowly transformed into his Hybrid form. Yams also released his conqueror haki. Suddenly, Minato felt a huge pressure oppressing him, trying to tear him to pieces.

Yams spoke slowly. "Let's go for round three."
