Chapter 51: Since It’s Like This, Amaterasu! (2/2)
Fire is an Attitude!
It symbolizes Wakaho's resolve to protect his comrades!
Shikaku Nara realized that even if Minato had enough chakra left, he couldn't activate the Flying Thunder God if he didn't cancel the Multiplication Technique.
So, he could only buy them time!
The three fire dragons and the young boy were closing in. A shout rang through the air, youthful yet full of unwavering resolve and fury!
"Fire's Will! Grant me power!"
Wakaho had finished forming the seals. The three fire dragons—one beneath him and two on either side—spread their massive jaws wide!
"Fire Style: Fire Dragon's... Roar!"
Four torrents of dragon fire erupted simultaneously!
Shikaku's expression froze. How could one block this will of fire!?
At that moment, a small figure that usually reassured Konoha's ninjas suddenly blocked in front of the three!
The Third Hokage might not have the Flying Thunder God Technique, but he could use the technique of shrinking the gigantic Monkey King, Enma, to create a forced displacement effect.
The Third Hokage's hands formed seals, and a Shadow Clone appeared by his side.
"Ninjutsu: Thunder Water Dragon Bullet!"
Boom!!!
The electrified water dragon charged at the four torrents of fire, clashing with the intense flames!
The Third Hokage's figure seemed small, but at this moment, he appeared as monumental as ever!
"There's another expert?"
Wakaho's view was initially blocked by the flames and the two fire dragons on either side. He only realized that the Third Hokage was the one holding off his four-stream fire attack.
At this point, the Third Hokage was not as old as he would become. Although past his peak, he was still on the cusp of greatness. It wasn't an exaggeration to call him "still in his prime."
The Thunder Water Dragon Bullet forcefully clashed with Wakaho's fire dragons, making the fire's roar slightly subdued, showing some signs of being overwhelmed!
"Four streams of dragon fire still can't match a combined jutsu?"
"Combined jutsu is this strong?"
Wakaho narrowed his eyes. Since that was the case...
"Amaterasu!"
The Five-Tails' chakra surged. The high-temperature flames from Wakaho's mouth were suddenly enveloped in a white boiling release chakra. The scale and impact of the technique were significantly enhanced, immediately overpowering the Thunder Water Dragon Bullet!
But it didn't stop there!
The boiling release chakra also began to "corrode" the Thunder Water Dragon Bullet, enveloping it and continuously eating away at the technique!
"This is bad!"
The Third Hokage was startled. How could this kid's technique be so fierce!?
That white, strange smoke was even corroding chakra!
"It looks like I have to forcibly stop him."
Minato, chewing on an energy pill, took a deep breath and pulled out his "Kunai of Ninja Love" from his tool pouch.
The information from Sakumo-senpai must have been incorrect.
That child clearly wasn't under an illusion; the Uchiha clan crest and the Sharingan, along with the headband, were genuine.
Although he didn't know exactly what had happened...
It was time to stop this!
But just as Minato was about to act!
"Don't be hasty, Minato-kun."
A pale hand rested on Minato's shoulder.
Orochimaru, riding a snake, had finally arrived!
Orochimaru's voice was still hoarse and charming, calm yet a bit weary.
He had finally caught up...
So, what was happening?
Why was Minato's team attacking the Five-Tails?
Why was the teacher also involved?
Did the teacher not receive his urgent message?
But he had seen many Konoha ninjas heading to the frontlines on his way!
Or was it that this kid, Wakaho...
Hiss, could it be that this child discovered something about the teacher...?
Orochimaru's expression turned peculiar.
Could it be?
