Chapter 24

*Whoosh!*

*Bang, bang, bang...*

In the forest of death, golden and red lights flickered, and sparks were emitted every time the kunai collided.

"Hu... hu... hu..."

Namikaze Minato shook his hand and said with a wry smile, "This pure physical strength, is that what you recently obtained?"

Standing on the opposite tree, Sora smiled and replied, "Too little time has passed, one day is only enough to get used to this power. But even in this case, there are no problems with controlling and collecting chakra."

"This is true?"

Namikaze Minato nodded, "In that case, I also have to show my strength."

Sora spread his hands, "I was going to eat some barbecue before leaving, but you insisted on fighting me."

Shaking his head slightly, Namikaze Minato pointed to the large letters on the back of his cloak: "As the Fourth Hokage, I still have to see if I can hold you. Otherwise…"

Both looked into the darkness nearby, there were people who did not greet Minato, the Fourth Hokage, but simply watched everything from the darkness.

Obviously, these are ninjas of the Root, the darkness of Konoha, belonging to Danzo.

It's a pity that old devil Danzo didn't come in person, otherwise I might have thought of a way...

*Whoosh!*

A moment later, golden and red figures flashed in the forest again.

Every time the two collided, there was no prior sign of a collision. In the second stage of the Flying Thunder God, each kunai was a coordinate, and the speed of space-time ninjutsu was fully revealed.

The same Flying Thunder God, the same reaction speed, it was impossible to determine the winner.

Rasengan!

The wind attribute chakra rotated unevenly within the sphere of blue light and constantly burst out.

Facing the instantly approaching Rasengan, Sora punched it directly.

*Boom!*

A very loud roar sounded, and with one blow Namikaze Minato was sent flying.

The fist, which had not exhausted its momentum, hit the ground. It seemed as if an earthquake had suddenly started, and a huge crater appeared at the site of the impact.

"This is the end…"

"This is the end."

The two said the same words at the same time and Minato, who had been thrown back, quickly jumped to his feet and looked at the mark on his arm and smiled. In an instant, the two-word mark (Uzumaki Sora) turned into his own mark (Ninja Love Blade).

Sora did the same, they both smiled after instantly transforming their marks.

Minato, limping, looked at Sora's hand, which had just collided with the Rasengan. The scars quickly disappeared, and the arm was restored.

"Divine Regeneration Technique? No! You don't have the Yin Seal. This is the power of the First Hokage..."

Sora waved his hand casually: "The Rasengan technique, which does not require seals, is indeed suitable for the Flying Thunder God. I could only face it head on as it activates instantly. But still, the collision just now had to hurt you too, didn't it?"

Minato looked at the wounds on his body left by the last blow, raised his head slightly and, smiling, said: "Seal of His Own Curse."

After the words were spoken, the black curse mark quickly spread throughout Sora's body.

For some time he could not move.

"From the very beginning of the battle, you and I were clear that mutually imprinting the marks of the Flying Thunder God on each other would not affect us."

"I just didn't expect that in just one day you had already mastered the enormous life force and chakra of the First Hokage. Your last blow was not much inferior to Tsunade-sama's striking force."

"The Seal of the Own Curse was placed at the moment of contact, so I said this is the end. The deterrent effect won't last long, so why don't you leave now and I'll win?"

Looking at the black curse mark on his body, Sora smiled and replied, "Is this the result you are aiming for? Judging by your own reaction, you really are not confident in yourself."

The next second, while his body was still sealed, Sora raised his hand slightly.

This scene made Minato frown slightly, "Is this the power of the First Hokage? Such physical abilities and abysmal recovery abilities are truly headache-inducing. What was the First Hokage thinking about, transferring such power?

Minato said words that only he and Sora could understand.

Once Hashirama Senju's power was demonstrated, Minato naturally understood where that power came from.

But what he didn't understand was why Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, decided to bargain with such terrifying power.

Red hair, Uzumaki...

For a while, Minato, looking at the color of Uzumaki Sora's hair, began to understand something, but in a way, it made him even more confused.

"The First Hokage Senju Hashirama was once called the God of Ninja throughout the ninja world. Those who did not live in that era will not understand the horror of this name," Uzumaki said. His arms began to tense, and the black cursed mark retreated centimeter by centimeter.

*Boom!*

Accompanied by a huge noise that sounded from his release, Sora looked at Minato and said, "Before a man who can turn a desert into a lush forest in an instant, such sealing techniques are nothing."

"I have not yet gotten used to the changes in my body and the changes in the chakra nature of several attributes, otherwise, I might listen to the roar of the tailed beast in my hands."

This made Minato swallow his saliva, because he knew the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox in Kushina's body and had even been to the place where the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was sealed.

Is it possible to defeat such monsters without much effort?

Just how strong was the First Hokage?

At this time, Sora raised his hand slightly, and the chakra in his palm began to rapidly condense and spin.

Minato on the opposite side was a little stunned for a while, is this a Rasengan?

Was it enough for him to see once?

*Boom!*

The spinning ball of chakra exploded, Sora shook his head in disappointment as his newly injured arm quickly recovered.

"The battle just gave me a lot of inspiration, and improvements should happen very quickly. With the subsequent development of this ninjutsu, his power should become enormous."

Sora lowered his hands and looked at the two people hidden in the shadows: "Two Root rats, convey my message to Danzo. If he wants to live, let him bury himself in the ground and not come out. If I catch him next time, he won't be so lucky again."

Having said this, Sora disappeared from his place, and red flashes began to flash in the forest.

The recently discarded specially made kunai were picked up by him one by one, and only Minato's kunai remained in place.

"These kunai are quite expensive..."

After leaving these words, Sora completely disappeared from the forest.

...

"Sensei".

Minato looked at the two who dared to approach, smiled and said, "He's actually very easy to get along with... right?"

Kabuto nodded meaningfully, "Big brother is as good a person as the director of the orphanage."

Kakashi looked at him, "Your definition of a good person is very simple..."

Kabuto glared at him, "Possessing great strength but not intimidating the weak, even the high-ranking people of Konoha dare not attack him! He's a good person and that's what I'm sure of."

*Pa!*

Minato put his hand on Kakashi's shoulder, who was about to retort, "Kabuto is right, that's why I believed him back then."
