Swoosh!
In the moment before being hit by Hideki's, Minato suddenly disappeared again and appeared on the branch below.
Looking up at Hideki who was still flying in the sky, Minato shook his head and smiled bitterly, feeling both admiration and a bit amused.
What is admirable is Hideki's endless creativity. He actually thought of combining the boundary stone floating cannon and physical skills to enhance his close combat ability.
What's funny is that these moves are a bit chaotic, full of flaws, and it feels like the style is a bit off.
But what makes Minato most helpless is that Hideki has the capital to mess around...
Because he had just stepped on the ground for less than two seconds, the remaining few floating cannons began to attack him again.
Even if he wanted to take the opportunity to attack Hideki who was still in the air, it would be difficult to find a chance.
So don't underestimate these moves because they may have many flaws. They may be baits set by Hideki.
Sure enough, when he slowly landed on the ground with flames spurting out of his feet, Hideki rushed towards him without stopping and launched an attack with the floater cannon.
Obviously, Hideki did not come up with this set of tactics on a whim, but created it after careful consideration.
After all, the closer the distance, the higher the flexibility and power of the floater.
Hideki's joining will add another variable to this already complicated battle situation, directly increasing the complexity by an order of magnitude.
If he did not possess superior spatial thinking ability and reaction ability, he would probably be confused by this situation which was even more chaotic than a real battlefield.
However, after dealing with Hideki for a while, Minato gradually discovered many shortcomings of this tactic.
Perhaps it was incompatible with Hideki's previous fighting style, so the completeness of this set of combat techniques was far inferior to the Star Barrier Technique just now.
For example, the physical skills still follow the Konoha style, and cannot be perfectly coordinated with the various formations of the floating gun.
And probably because of the need to take into account close combat, the attention is distracted, so although the power of the floater has increased, the attack mode has become much more monotonous.
After writing down various details and preparing to inform Hideki later, Minato began to concentrate.
It seems that this is Hideki's trump card. It is amazing that he can develop it to this level in just one month.
Now is the time to respond...
"Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Minato moved around during the fight and came to an angle that could cover Hideki and most of the floaters, and used this ninjutsu again.
A large number of shurikens with chakra attached by Minato were thrown out like raindrops, and they actually cut off several hidden chakra lines that controlled the floating cannons at once.
Only the four floating cannons that were responsible for forming an iron wall to block Hideki were spared.
"Chance!"
Minato was waiting for the opportunity when the interference from the floating gun would be reduced, and he immediately exerted force with his feet and shot towards Hideki.
Hideki didn't waste time reconnecting the floater, but chose to accept Minato's challenge and raised his fist to meet it.
At the same time, the remaining four floaters were attached to his wrists like bracelets, and began to spray out large amounts of chakra tail flames to help Hideki accelerate further.
Swish!
Just when the two were only a few steps away from meeting each other head-on, Minato suddenly threw the trident kunai in his hand forward.
Since one could lose his life if he made a mistake in teleporting with the Flying Thunder God Technique, he had only dared to teleport to fixed coordinates before.
But thanks to the special training he just had, Minato finally mastered the key points and finally had the confidence to teleport to the moving coordinates.
And the kunai that just flew out happened to have drawn the Flying Thunder God technique for positioning...
At this time, Hideki seemed to have not realized Minato's intention. He just turned his head to avoid the kunai attack and punched Minato at the same time.
The floater sprayed chakra tail flames, driving Hideki's right fist to swing out at high speed like a blue meteor, and it seemed that it would hit the opponent faster than Minato's fist.
However, just as his fist was about to hit, Minato's face showed a rare sly smile, the same as Hideki's.
"I won..."
Swoosh!
Minato disappeared from where he was, and appeared above Hideki's head just as his punch missed.
He held the Flying Thunder God Kunai that just flew by with one hand, and with the other hand, with the force of his whole body spinning in the air, he slapped Hideki's back below...
"This is Flying Thunder God... Stage 2!"
However, Minato did not realize that the moment before he hit, Hideki's mouth also raised a funny arc and whispered:
"Spicy Tensai."
Boom!
A ball of highly concentrated chakra suddenly burst out from his body, transforming into a hemispherical barrier that expanded outward at high speed, instantly sending everything around it flying...
The barrier pushed outward about five meters with Hideki as the center, and then it quickly dissipated in the wind due to the depletion of chakra, turning into a dreamy blue light rain.
Hideki still stood there, unable to move for a moment, and could only tilt his head back and close his eyes to rest.
He found that he had underestimated the consumption of this move. Not only did it use up all the chakra in the capacitor, but he also had to pay for it himself.
It's really not easy to pretend...
At this time, behind a tree trunk not far away, Minato walked out slowly, holding the trunk.
Before the strange barrier erupted just now, he already knew something was wrong, so he quickly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape, so he was not injured.
After using the Flying Thunder God Technique twice in a row, even he felt like vomiting and looked a little embarrassed.
However, when he saw Hideki, wearing a blue kimono, looking up and bathing in the star-like blue light rain, he forgot the dizziness for a moment.
At this moment, Minato finally became completely certain of one fact.
That is, although Hideki is far inferior to himself in ninja talent, with his intelligence and wisdom, he can definitely become a powerful ninja who is not inferior to himself...
The reason for this idea was that in this competition, in addition to practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato also intended to assess Hideki's strength.
Because in the past two months, he has witnessed many of Hideki's pioneering efforts and the impact they had on Konoha.
Work-study programs, point systems, workshops, toy stores, open-air movies, and a bunch of inventions that refreshed his worldview...
So he has made up his mind to work with Hideki to make Konoha a better place.
And the key to realizing this dream does not lie with him, but with Hideki, who has all kinds of wonderful ideas and the ability to realize them one by one.
Once Hideki unfortunately passes away, all of this will become like water without a source and a tree without roots, and he will not be able to continue on his own.
Although he has realized that Hideki must have hidden strength, he still needs to have a rough idea of his specific strength.
If Hideki was the type who was good at inventing but not so good at fighting, then he would have to take on more responsibilities and help Hideki out.
Fortunately, Hideki did not disappoint him.
Not only did he show the ability to protect himself, but the potential he displayed even shocked him.
He is fully capable of serving as a perfect comrade-in-arms and fighting alongside him in the future.
In this way, some arrangements do not need to be activated...
If Hideki knew what Minato was thinking right now, he would definitely faint in the bathroom crying.
Brother Minato, you would protect me, why didn't you tell me earlier! Then why did I work so hard before, and now I have exposed so much of my strength? ?
