Chapter 132: Konoha's Fierce Tiger, The Destruction Dragon of the Ninja World

The meeting ended.

As they walked out of the tent, Seiki was about to share his thoughts with Minato when he noticed Minato's serious, contemplative expression and instead asked, "Minato Aniki, are you thinking about how we should coordinate?"

Hearing Seiki's voice, Minato snapped out of his thoughts and enthusiastically said, "Seiki, I heard from the teachers that the two who inherited the titles of 'A' and 'B' in Cloud Village have always been known as the AB duo. I think maybe we should also give our partnership a more impressive name too!"

Instantly sensing an ominous premonition, Seiki asked cautiously, "Then what do you suggest, Minato Aniki?"

Minato clapped his hands together excitedly, "I've got it! How about the Spiral Flying Thunder God Dance Extreme Azure Team?"

Seiki sucked in a cold breath, "I think..."

Minato rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "Not good enough? How about Konoha's Fierce Tiger, The Destruction Dragon of the Ninja World combo then?"

Seiki's eyes gradually glazed over, "Well actually..."

Inspiration struck Minato again, "How about the Radiant Combo of Thunder Arrow Ten Four? If that doesn't work, we could also try the Twin Leaf Flying Thunder God Golden Light Roar Squad!"

Letting out a sigh, Seiki said, "Minato Aniki, promise me one thing—never get creative when naming children!"

Fortunately, Naruto was named after the main character in Jiraiya's novel. Otherwise, would he have been called something like Invincible Golden Flash Cyclone First Style?

Wanting to steer the conversation back on track, Seiki quickly said, "Minato Aniki, I actually have a few practical ideas for this joint operation."

Minato naturally understood the urgency and importance of the matter and immediately shifted into focus mode, "Go ahead, Seiki."

Looking serious now, Seiki explained, "According to Orochimaru-sama, Cloud Village's AB duo has always been trained from childhood to develop their synergy. With only a few days of practice ourselves, it's difficult enough just to approach their level of connection, let alone surpass them!"

Nodding, Minato sighed. If only coordinating with a partner were as straightforward as mastering ninjutsu!

Seiki continued, "So rather than trying to build synergy, maybe we should focus on how we collaborate using the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Given Minato's intelligence, he immediately grasped Seiki's idea, "You mean having reciprocal Flying Thunder God markings on each other?"

Nodding, Seiki elaborated, "This way, we can instantly teleport to each other's side and employ a straightforward two-on-one tactic."

Getting increasingly excited, Minato added, "From what the teacher said, their signature move involves attacking simultaneously from front and back, meaning they must separate first to use their combined technique!"

Picking up the thread, Seiki continued, "So whenever they separate, we gang up on one of them; if they reunite, we scatter instantly to completely disrupt their rhythm!"

Minato felt like he was standing on the edge of a whole new era. Previously, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique alone, so options were limited. But now, with two people using the Flying Thunder God together, many exciting possibilities emerged!

Just thinking about it made Minato's hands tingle with excitement.

"Then for these few days, let's try getting familiar with each other's technique forms!"

...

[Lightning Tackle]

Two streaks of lightning tore across the sky. With a deafening boom, a massive stone statue standing on the flat ground had its neck shattered instantaneously.

"Good job, B! Your strength is getting closer to mine!"

"Still not enough! Not even close! I need more meat to tear through—Yo!"

Those around him had long grown used to Killer B's rhymes, so nothing he did surprised them anymore.

Dodai examined the fracture on the statue's neck on the battlefield, then stood up excitedly to report, "Raikage-sama, A and B's Lightning Tackle has surpassed all previous AB combinations. Their partnership will undoubtedly become a nightmare for those Konoha ninja!"

The Raikage looked at them with satisfaction. "Even I wouldn't dare face your attack head-on anymore."

A, however, felt somewhat annoyed. "B transforming into Eight-Tails during battle leaves absolutely no room for our coordination!"

"You're wrong, A!" The Raikage said solemnly. "Orochimaru is no ordinary opponent. Now that he knows about B's existence, there's no way he'd leave such a huge threat unchecked!"

A frowned. "You mean that Minato Namikaze?"

The Raikage spoke seriously, "That man who redirected B's Tailed Beast Ball and slipped away from the battlefield despite your joint attack — his mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique even surpasses that of Seiki Shimaseki!"

A sounded frustrated. "This time was my mistake; next time I won't let him escape!"

"Next time? You really expect there to be one?" The Raikage snorted coldly. "The people from Konoha aren't fools. They'll definitely provide him with powerful allies next time — probably his teacher, one of the Sannin."

A's eyes lit up suddenly. "So this upcoming battle will truly be our first coordinated operation between me and B?"

Killer B also became excited. "Time for collaboration to begin! All enemies must die — Yeah!"

"Don't get careless," the Raikage earnestly warned. "Your goal this time isn't about how many enemies you kill, but rather... eliminating that Minato Namikaze! Against someone who possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Lightning Tackle remains your only chance!"

"Roger that! B, let's hurry and train!"

"No room for mistakes — our enemies sure as hell aren't weak!"

...

Five days later, deep inside a forest near the rear flank.

[Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!]

[Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld!]

Two shadow clones of Jiraiya simultaneously unleashed their techniques in opposite directions back-to-back, but both were easily dodged by Seiki and Minato.

The essence of a ninja lies in swift movement and ambush tactics. Standing still like they did made their intentions and movements instantly transparent.

Jiraiya certainly knew this approach would put him at a disadvantage, but he had no other choice!

Seiki and Minato stood back to back. If both clones attacked one person simultaneously, it meant exposing their backs to the other. If they attacked separately, one of Seiki and Minato would immediately switch positions with the other, allowing them to gang up on this thirty-three-year-old shinobi using cunning and unfair tactics!

With no alternative, he had no choice but to fight back-to-back with his own clones, which turned them into easy targets due to their reduced mobility.

Another round of long-range attacks cleared the battlefield, and Jiraiya finally couldn't take it anymore. "I'm out! You guys are way too cheap!"

Minato spoke gently. "Sorry about that, sensei!"

Seiki followed up, saying, "Thanks for helping us test our tactics, Jiraiya-sama!"

Hearing how they spoke, Jiraiya actually felt a bit embarrassed. After letting out a couple awkward chuckles, he sighed, "A single Flying Thunder God Technique doesn't seem like much on its own, but when used together... it's just not fair!"

Then he added gleefully, "Heh, I wonder if that AB duo from the Cloud Village will still dare face you after this!"

At this moment, the messenger snake beside them poofed out of existence.

Seeing this, Jiraiya's expression turned serious. "The summoned beast being recalled means the frontline battle is about to begin again!"
