章 477: I Alone Am Enough!
A yellow-haired man's voice was not loud and could be completely drowned in the sound from the battlefield, but it was strangely clear to everyone's ears. It was as if he had the ability to freeze time, instantly attracting everyone's attention to him.
"This is..."
The eyes of Iwagakure ninjas flickered. They faintly felt that this man was different from the other Konohagakure ninjas, but the determination in his blue eyes made them feel like they had seen a wild beast.
This was an indescribable feeling.
It was like being targeted by a wild beast, the kind of beast that will bite them no matter what.
Almost an instant.
The momentum of Iwagakure ninjas was suppressed by the sudden appearance of the yellow-haired man.
As for Konohagakure ninjas, everyone's eyes were focused on Minato. Their eyes quickly changed, from doubt at the beginning to surprise and excitement later.
Namikaze Minato!
Konohagakure's Star Ninja!
A genius student of one of Konoha Sannin, Jiraiya. He had become the Jonin of the village at such a young age. He was a very gentle, sunny, and extremely reliable ninja.
The sudden appearance of Minato seems to have given the Konohagakure ninjas a shot stimulant, which directly raised the depressed mood of everyone. They all understood one thing...
Reinforcements had arrived!
This made the Konohagakure ninjas in despair suddenly see a glimmer of hope. It was like a drowning person who had grabbed a life-saving straw. Facing the instinctive desire to survive, as long as they grasped it, they would not let go easily.
"Minato!"
"It really is you!"
"Reinforcements arrived?"
"Have the reinforcements arrived?"
"..."
Konohagakure ninjas asked Minato one after another. Their eyes were filled with anticipation. They wanted to get a definite answer from Minato.
The questions of Konohagakure ninjas were also transmitted to the ears of Iwagakure ninjas. At the same time, doubts appeared in the minds of Iwagakure ninjas. Almost everyone's attention was focused on Minato.
"Yes."
Minato nodded without hesitation. There was a slight change on his cold face. The corners of his mouth slowly curled up. He looked like he was smiling, but the smile on his face did not change the coldness on his face. It still looked as murderous as before.
"OH!!!"
As soon as Minato said this, the Konohagakure ninjas on the scene immediately cheered. Everyone had a feeling of being saved from death. They could not help but relax their tense nerves a lot and let out a sigh of relief at this kind of uneasiness.
"How many reinforcements have come?"
At this time, Hatake Sakumo, who had been bitterly supporting just now, jumped out and retreated back to Konohagakure's camp. The current change caused the battlefield between the two sides to pause for a short period of time.
Hatake Sakumo deliberately asked a key question.
Right now, he was in the same mood as before.
That was to fight and retreat.
As long as they managed to fool Iwagakure ninjas, they would be able to smoothly make Iwagakure ninjas retreat. This way, they would be able to avoid many unnecessary losses.
As he spoke.
He even winked at Minato.
The meaning displayed was very obvious.
That was to let Minato deliberately say a lot of reinforcements. This would not only increase the confidence of Konohagakure ninjas but also make Iwagakure ninjas worry.
After all...
Hatake Sakumo was very clear about Konohagakure's situation.
Now, even if Minato personally came, he would not be able to bring many reinforcements. Most of the ninjas had already been brought out by him. This was Konohagakure's last line of defense.
"There are only two people."
Minato said softly. His voice could still be clearly transmitted into everyone's ears. After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to the back. He said, "Kushina is behind."
"..."
For a moment.
Everyone was speechless.
Everyone showed a completely different reaction.
Among them was Konoha White Fang, Hatake Sakumo, who was completely stunned in place. He never thought that Minato would still say such words after seeing his obvious signal. It was simply inconceivable.
However...
His heart was already cold.
This was not a problem that a single person or two could solve!
The so-called reinforcements...
That would require a group of people!
He felt that Minato's words were too honest, to speak so clearly without lying at all, wasn't this a bit too pedantic?
Finished!
This was how Hatake Sakumo felt right now.
The fire of hope that had been ignited was instantly destroyed at this moment, and there was no way for it to continue burning.
The smiles on the faces of Konohagakure ninjas froze. They stared at Minato's back foolishly. There were many words in their minds, but at this moment, they all held back. They could not say a word, and they were almost all dumbfounded.
Good fellow.
The reinforcements that they had been longing for.
There were only two people.
Moreover, the other one was standing behind them and watching the show.
Now, who was responsible for protecting who was still unclear!
This made their elevated emotion instantly feel like they had been poured with a basin of cold water, and they were directly beaten back to their original forms.
"Hahahahaha..."
After a brief moment of shock, Iwagakure ninjas let out loud laughter. They all started laughing at Konohagakure.
"I'm dying of laughter! There are only two!"
"Can this also be called reinforcements?"
"I thought it was a bluff when I got aggressive just now."
"This is too funny!"
"I've never seen such a thing!"
"Are you here to make a fool of yourself?"
"..."
The faces of Iwagakure ninjas once again showed the feeling of victory in their hands. In their eyes, the Konohagakure ninja army had been completely defeated.
One more person.
One less person.
There was no difference at all.
It would not cause any effect at all!
...
On the tree.
Aoba quietly watched everything that was happening here.
The paper around his body had already transformed into a part of the tree. Through Kami no Shisha no Jutsu(Paper Person of God Technique), he had disguised himself as part of the tree. Let alone being unable to sense his aura, even if someone looked over, this place was no different from a tree.
"Naughty."
Aoba said to himself. He knew very well that with Minato's mind, how could he not understand what Hatake Sakumo meant?
But...
That was not what Minato meant at all.
They could retreat.
But there was no need.
Right now, all of Iwagakure ninjas were here.
It was a good time to catch all of them in one fell swoop.
Although Minato was a very gentle ninja, he still had a sense of propriety when it came to matters involving Konohagakure. He would not be lenient easily.
"Minato has become even more confident."
"If I'm not wrong..."
"Right now, his strength is even stronger than he was the Yondaime."
"If I have to find something that he lacks..."
"The only thing he lacks is experience!"
Aoba looked at Minato seriously. He knew that with Minato's talent, it would not take him so long to completely grasp the Sage Mode. If he stayed in Mount Myoboku, there would definitely be an even stronger improvement.
Just as Aoba was waiting for a good show.
The commander of the Iwagakure ninja army, Michiru, stepped forward and directly arrived in front of Minato. His speed was very fast. He raised his hand and directly slapped it toward Minato's face.
"You stinking brat, you sure talk a lot of nonsense!"
Michiru was very angry. It was not easy for him to mobilize the Iwagakure ninjas' momentum, but he was interrupted by a boy who suddenly appeared in front of him. Although Iwagakure ninjas were still confident of victory and the smile on their faces was like watching a comedy. There was no longer the flame of revenge.
It had to be said.
Iwagakure momentum was indeed dispelled a lot.
It was also caused by such a young man.
This made Michiru very angry in his heart.
Of course.
The current Minato had not made a name for himself, and the name of the yellow flash had not spread among Iwagakure. Even Michiru, the commander of the ninja army, did not know what kind of strength Minato had.
Only through the simplest judgment.
That was...
Minato's face, which clearly still had a hint of immaturity on it, looked like he wasn't even 20 years old. No matter how strong he was, how powerful could he be?
He couldn't be stronger than Konoha White Fang, right?
If there was another Konoha White Fang, it might be a bit difficult for them in terms of top-notch combat strength, but facing a mere youth, he wasn't afraid.
Swish!
Michiru's palm brought along a strong gust of wind as it flew toward Minato's face at an extremely fast speed.
As a ninja.
The action of slapping was completely unnecessary.
If he had the chance to do this, he could have used other ways to kill the other party.
However.
Michiru did not have such a choice.
His goal was very simple.
That was to first humiliate this youth who had interrupted their Iwagakure's momentum and then use this method to mobilize the Iwagakure ninjas' momentum again.
No one had expected that Michiru would suddenly make a move. After all, Iwagakure ninjas were still laughing loudly, and Konohagakure ninjas had not recovered from the ups and downs.
Everything happened too quickly.
When they reacted.
Michiru's palm was about to hit Minato's face.
However.
Minato didn't even move. He looked as if he hadn't seen Michiru at all. He didn't even blink and was completely immersed in indifference.
The next moment.
Under the gaze of almost everyone present.
Just as Michiru's slap was about to hit Minato's face.
Minato's figure suddenly disappeared.
Swish!
Michiru's palm directly slapped the air.
It did not hit anyone at all!
The sudden change caused Michiru's center of gravity to instantly lean forward, and it was difficult to control it as it tilted toward the direction where Minato had disappeared.
Just as Michiru was about to step out his left foot to stabilize his body.
A yellow flash suddenly appeared and Minato reappeared where he had just been. This person squatted slightly and stared at Michiru who was falling toward him. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. His right hand was holding the special kunai on the ground. He suddenly pulled it up and drew a sharp arc in front of him.
Swish!
The sound of wind breaking suddenly sounded.
Then a line of blood splashed out.
That eye-catching blood-red light was reflected in everyone's eyes.
Thud!
Michiru fell heavily to the ground. His eyes were wide open, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. There was a deep blood line on his neck, which had taken away all his vitality. Until the moment of his death, he did not know what had happened.
"Hiss..."
Everyone looked at Michiru's corpse on the ground and took a deep breath at the same time. Everyone's mood was extremely heavy. At this moment, they were speechless.
It was too fast.
Everything happened too fast.
Even Hatake Sakumo did not react in time.
Apart from Aoba, who was silently observing everything on the tree, everyone was stunned by this sudden event.
"There are indeed only two reinforcements."
Minato did not even look at Michiru again. His right hand was holding the special kunai that was still dripping blood. His cold blue eyes were staring at the dense Iwagakure ninjas in front of him.
"The other person will only watch the whole show!"
"The one who will really make a move..."
"Only me!"
"But."
"To deal with you people."
"I alone am enough!"
Minato's tone revealed extremely strong confidence. After saying this, he suddenly stopped, controlled the chakra in his body, and began to quickly absorb the natural energy around him.
Only...
The Iwagakure ninjas in front of them didn't know that Minato was currently storing up natural energy for Sage Mode, and couldn't move at all. Everyone was in shock just now, and no one dared to act rashly.
After all, the person who made a move just now was their commander, Michiru, and he was easily killed by a slit in the throat.
Of course.
Michiru's own strength was not that weak.
The reason why he was so easily killed by Minato was because Michiru had underestimated him. He had wrongly estimated that this youth might be the most talented youth in Konohagakure's history!
Hum!
Just when the atmosphere was silent for almost two minutes.
Minato suddenly closed his eyes.
A terrifying amount of chakra appeared on his body.
An orange eyeshadow appeared on his tightly closed eyes. It was the Sage Mode sign. After the sign appeared, the violent chakra in his body disappeared.
Everything calmed down again.
At this moment.
Minato opened his eyes. His originally blue eyes turned into golden frog eyes. His entire aura changed.
"It's time for the war to end."
