Chapter 26: Fierce Battle (Edited)

The series of attack left everyone in awe.

Although they seemed a bit simple, with Minato's age, it was extremely rare to be able to use the Shadow Shuriken Jutsu, use the paper bombs to create a smokescreen and finally use a Wind Jutsu.

Even Hiruzen had a hint of admiration and couldn't help but praise, "Honestly, Minato should win, the timing of those moves was great!"

"It is impossible to meet a C-rank Jutsu head-on, and even if you do, you will be injured, thus losing your ability to defend yourself."

Several Jounin were arguing with each other.

On the stage, even though Minato cast that Jutsu, he did not relax at all, he was still alert to any incoming attack.

Seeing the incoming wind Jutsu, Naito's eyes had complicated feelings.

He must say that Minato's plan was very good. Forcing him into a corner where he had to collide head-on with the Wind Jutsu.

His fist finished hitting, and his whole body was leaning forward, making it difficult to directly retreat or dodge the incoming attack.

No one could escape in this situation.

'If it were someone else, in fact, I might have lost.... Unfortunately, the person you are facing is me,' these thoughts flashed through Naito's mind.

The Wind Jutsu approached Naito, but in front of this Wind Jutsu, he did not show any trace of fear or panic, he was extremely calm.

Since there was no way to dodge... Why should he dodge?

Even if it was a C-Rank Jutsu, so what?

If one fist wasn't enough, then he would throw two.

In the next moment.

With his right fist as it was, he suddenly clenched his left fist and a halo of white light appeared on it.

Buzz!!!

The next moment, Naito's left fist, which was carrying the shock power with full force, suddenly shot out.

Crack!!!

The halo of white light burst out and in front of Naito's fist, white cracks were created.

Boom!

The shockwave crashed directly into the incoming wind Jutsu and a muffled explosion was heard!

This was the result of the confrontation of the shockwave and the wind Jutsu thrown by Minato.

Previously, it was impossible to destroy the C-Rank Great Fireball Jutsu.

But now, he, who faced a C-Rank Jutsu, was able to destroy it directly!

In an instant, the audience erupted in an uproar.

"Oh my goodness, really.... He really destroyed a C-Rank Jutsu?"

"Naito's Kekkei Genkai is.... So strong!"

"He can even destroy a C-Rank Jutsu with his bare hands!"

Countless people exclaimed unconsciously, with expressions of disbelief.

Even the ninjas did not expect Naito's shockwave to be so powerful that even a C-Rank Jutsu could be destroyed with just one punch.

Similarly, Minato, who thought that the outcome of the battle was already decided, could not help but take a breath of cold air, with a hint of surprise on his face, "Is it... that strong?!!!"

At this moment, Minato finally became extremely serious, turning his full attention to the upcoming battle.

Beating Naito wasn't as easy as he thought!

Considering what happened, losing was no longer impossible.

On the other hand, Naito, who shattered the wind Jutsu with his fist, withdrew his arms and made his wrists crack.

The blow now contained all his strength.

The terrifying power of the shockwave also brought a small charge to his body.

"Now, after opening the First Gate of the Reverse Hachimon Tonko Hachimon, I can destroy any kind of C-Rank Jutsu.", Naito muttered, this time he clearly saw the true power he can produce with his Kekkei Genkai.

With a slightly satisfied expression, Naito's eyes landed on Minato again.

Whoosh!!

In the next moment, Naito once again rushed towards Minato.

Seeing Naito charge towards him, Minato did not hesitate to retreat.

Facing Naito, who destroyed a C-Rank Jutsu with his fists, Minato did not hesitate to avoid the melee.

What a joke!

If one punch can wipe out a C-Rank Jutsu, then this means that every punch he throws is equal to a C-Rank Jutsu, and he didn't even need to form hand seals.

Engaging in close combat with Naito is just a death wish.

However, even if Minato retreated quickly, his speed compared to Naito's was still a bit slow.

Although Minato's reaction speed was incredibly fast, he can't really take advantage of that without Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Jutsu).

After a few moments, Naito caught up to him.

Then, Naito simply punched with his fist.

At the critical moment, Minato's seal printing speed caused a surprise to the audience. It was an almost instantaneous substitution Jutsu, dodging Naito's strike at the last second!

Crack!

The wooden block was shattered into countless fragments by Naito's strike.

On the other hand, Minato appeared in a distant place, sweat dripping down his forehead and breathing heavily.

Retracting his fist, Naito turned to look at Minato, who had been dodging, he spoke calmly, "The Substitution Jutsu is quite annoying... but it's about to end."

Of course, in terms of chakra recovery, Minato can't compare to Naito, who opened the first gate of the Reverse Hachimon Tonko.

Catching his breath, Minato took a deep breath, then looked at Naito with a hint of confidence in his eyes and said, "Yes, it's almost over."

In other words, it was as if he had already witnessed Naito's defeat.

The next moment, Minato began to make seals with his hands.

Another C-Rank Jutsu.

"Fire Jutsu: Flames of the Phoenix Sage!" (Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu).

The release of this Jutsu immediately attracted countless puzzled eyes, even Naito was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Minato's actions.

His strike can easily destroy any C-Rank Jutsu.

The casting of a C-Rank Jutsu was simply a loss of chakra.

Just as Naito felt perplexed by Minato's actions, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked behind him.

Bunshin no Jutsu?

Seeing the clone appear, the entire audience was surprised.

Although no one noticed when Minato used the cloning Jutsu... but even with the clone, what effect will this action have?

"What is the purpose? You can only use it to distract the enemy, you can't attack with it."

"This cloning jutsu is quite perfect... huh? No! No! It's not the Cloning Jutsu!"

Everyone's expressions changed the next moment.

They saw that behind Naito, Minato's presumed clone, began to form hand seals and cast a Jutsu!!!!

"Wind Jutsu: Great Rupture!!!"

Boom!

Two Jutsu were launched, one after the other, fire and wind.

Two C-Rank Jutsus caught Naito in the middle, forming a pincer attack!
