Being Fooled Every Now and Then, Each Time is Different
For three consecutive days, Yamanaka Kei would arrive early at the Cultivation Cave every morning to spar with Jiraiya.
When his Chakra was exhausted, he would eat Soldier Pills to quickly recover. If he got injured, he would use Medical Ninjutsu to treat himself.
He would continue until the sun completely set, then return home exhausted, continuing to research the Senju Clan's Water Release inheritance in the evening.
Thanks to his own formidable comprehension and learning abilities, as well as the buff from Jiraiya's purple entry, [Teacher of Destiny].
Over these three days, the combat experience he had read and recorded from other ninjas' memories during his five years in the Analysis Team, along with those dazzling Water Release ninjutsu, gradually began to merge into his own being.
Whether it was ninjutsu selection, timing, response to moves, or combat rhythm, he was completely different from before.
Jiraiya originally thought that after gradually figuring out Yamanaka Kei's ninjutsu and trump cards, he would gain an absolute advantage in their battles.
Who knew that his idea was beautiful, but reality was frighteningly real!
If he wasn't careful, he, one of the Sannin, the hero Jiraiya, would have to perform 'Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss', 'Magnificent and Imposing', 'Love Circulation', 'Gleaming Eyes' in front of the Cultivation Cave...
It would have been fine if only Yamanaka Kei was here.
But Namikaze Minato brought Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha, and Nohara Rin to join in the fun on the afternoon of their first sparring day.
Yamanaka Kei's three little disciples also started cultivating nearby that same afternoon.
Kushina and that little girl named Honoka even brought lunch boxes and reported in on time every day at noon.
And once they came, they wouldn't leave!
They would stay until evening, then go home with their respective boyfriends.
Damn it!
It was true that he liked gathering material, but he didn't want to be used as material!
In order to avoid dancing those embarrassing dances in public.
He didn't hold back or slack off at all in the following two days, but the outcome remained unchanged.
It was a testament to his strong heart that he didn't just black out and kick the bucket!
After three days.
Without a word, Jiraiya packed his things and ran off to Mount Myōboku to cultivate.
Sage Mode was hard to learn? He would learn it no matter how hard it was!
He was one of the Sannin... He was at least... He, he, he...
He was letting down his titles!
"It feels like Teacher Jiraiya won't be back for a while."
Namikaze Minato looked at the empty clothes and toiletries in Jiraiya's usual residence, and truly felt his teacher's determination this time.
"Were we laughing too loud before?"
Nohara Rin looked somewhat helplessly at Yuhi Kurenai, who was holding her hand.
Yuhi Kurenai shook her head, her expression also a little uneasy, and could only turn her gaze to her own teacher.
"Don't go taking responsibility onto yourself for no reason. I'm the one who directed him to dance, and I haven't said anything yet."
Yamanaka Kei ruffled the heads of the two little girls, one with each hand.
"Jiraiya's dances are actually quite beautiful, it's just a shame we won't see them today."
Obito Uchiha wiped his goggles, feeling that Teacher Kei's words made a lot of sense.
He just still felt a little regret in his heart.
He hadn't been able to completely memorize those dance moves yet!
If, and he meant if, he and Rin were to be together in the future...
And he could have Rin dance for him...
"You're having a nosebleed."
Kakashi Hatake's dead fish eyes swept over Obito's increasingly lewd expression.
He coldly reminded the guy who always seemed to be missing a screw in his head.
He really couldn't understand.
Why would someone get a nosebleed when thinking about Jiraiya dancing?
Wasn't that just perverted?
"Ah? Ah! I, I, I just, just recently..."
Obito wiped away the blood, his face flushed red, wanting to explain but unable to find a reason.
"Yesterday, I saw your urine was so yellow, I knew you were having internal heat, this is the full power of youth!"
Might Guy slapped Obito on the shoulder, flashing his big teeth and giving him a thumbs up.
Obito looked at Might Guy in disbelief.
Wait...
Bro, is there really no other reason?
"Internal heat during puberty, tsk, normal."
Shiranui Genma clicked his tongue, a Senbon in his mouth, his gaze quickly sweeping over Nohara Rin and Obito.
As a smart outsider, he had seen through everything.
Namikaze Minato and Yamanaka Kei exchanged a smile.
Youth is, after all, restless and passionate.
They had both come from that age, how could they not know what these little guys were thinking?
"Alright, alright, enough with the jokes, let's get ready to start today's training."
Yamanaka Kei clapped his hands, drawing the attention of Might Guy and the others.
"Yes!"
The Three Little Ones responded immediately.
Might Guy immediately started running around the Cultivation Cave.
Yuhi Kurenai and Shiranui Genma maintained the standard triangular formation of a ninja squad, following Might Guy's footsteps.
Thanks to Kushina's improved Sustained Four Limbs Heavy Seal.
The Three Little Ones have all experienced varying degrees of increase in their physical strength recently.
The training effect that originally took several hours to achieve now only takes less than an hour.
Apart from Might Guy, who needs extra training to further enhance his taijutsu, Yuhi Kurenai and Shiranui Genma have devoted almost all of their remaining time to practicing new ninjutsu.
"Let's work hard in today's training too!"
Namikaze Minato also encouraged Kakashi and the others.
Having long been accustomed to this rhythm, the three of them also began their own training.
As for Yamanaka Kei and Namikaze Minato.
"Start?"
Yamanaka Kei raised an eyebrow, a Kunai nimbly twirling on his right fingertip.
"Don't you dare act again."
Namikaze Minato also took out his Flying Thunder God Kunai.
His handsome face wore a rare seriousness and earnestness.
He had watched all of his best friend and teacher's sparring matches over the past three days.
He couldn't understand it.
How could his friend hide so much?
Family secret techniques, Genjutsu, Water Release, taijutsu, Medical Ninjutsu, sealing techniques...
How much was he hiding!
"If you don't act, I won't act."
Yamanaka Kei's eyes narrowed slightly.
The next moment.
Clang~!
Sparks from the Kunai collision splashed around.
The two lithe figures retreated as soon as they made contact, almost simultaneously throwing the Kunai in their hands.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
In the not-so-wide mansion, two figures, sometimes visible and sometimes hidden, like ghosts, constantly collided.
After a little probing, the two jumped out of the mansion almost simultaneously.
Yamanaka Kei flicked two Kunai, one shooting towards the sky and the other towards the ground.
Meanwhile, Namikaze Minato, with four Flying Thunder God Kunaito press from both sides in each hand, spun and flung them all towards Yamanaka Kei, using the strength of his waist and abdomen.
Clang~ Clang~ Clang~ Clang~
The Flying Thunder God Kunai collided with each other in mid-air, directly altering their original flight paths.
Two flew towards the top of Yamanaka Kei's head, sealing off his upward dodging space, and two flew towards his feet, similarly blocking the downward path.
The remaining four Flying Thunder God Kunai drew arcs, heading straight for his vital points.
Uchiha Shuriken Throwing Technique?!
A look of surprise flashed in Yamanaka Kei's eyes.
This kind of flashy throwing technique, which required extremely high insight and reaction ability, and was also difficult to practice, actually had limited practical value.
Most of the time, it could only achieve a surprising effect.
Except for the Uchiha Clan, who found it much easier to learn due to their Sharingan, and didn't mind learning this trick.
Few people usually practiced and used such throwing techniques.
Over time, the prefix of this technique was crowned with the name Uchiha.
Yamanaka Kei didn't expect that Namikaze Minato would use this move to cooperate with the Flying Thunder God Technique.
You should know that a normal Shuriken, once thrown, was thrown.
Most of the time, it had no follow-up effect.
But wherever Namikaze Minato's Flying Thunder God Kunai went, he would go!
On closer thought, this move was a perfect match for the Flying Thunder God Technique!
However...
Too late!
The collision and friction of ninja tools would always affect power and speed.
Normally, this small difference might not be a big deal.
But between two people whose neural reactions were equally fast to an extraordinary degree, this difference was enough for Yamanaka Kei to seize the initiative in the early stages of the battle!
Ignoring the Flying Thunder God Kunai coming straight at him.
Yamanaka Kei swiped his right hand across the corner of his mouth, drawing out a few drops of gum blood, and his figure disappeared directly in place, appearing on the side of the Kunai he had just thrown towards the sky.
Summoning Technique: Crow!
"Caw caw caw~" "Caw caw caw~" "Caw caw caw~"
Nine jet-black crows shot out from the rising Chakra smoke.
Like jet-black arrows, they quickly scattered in all directions.
Feeling the Flying Thunder God Technique Formula embedded with Binding Lock Seals on these crows, Namikaze Minato's face darkened.
For the past three days, he had been observing Yamanaka Kei's battle with Jiraiya-sensei.
Seeing that his close friend had not used the Flying Thunder God Technique, he had even asked the reason.
The answer he received was that his close friend's control over the Flying Thunder God Technique was still insufficient, and there was probably a long way to go before he could apply it to actual combat.
As a result...
The 'long way to go' you were talking about was a setup to use against me, wasn't it!
We're brothers with a close connection, and you're playing mind games with your brother?
The more Namikaze Minato thought about it, the angrier he became.
Ever since he made such a friend, he had been tricked every now and then, and every trick was different!
