Chapter 50

"Ah!" Takayama Jun screamed, and his right foot was hit again. The shoe was in tatters around the wound, and the fragile hamstring was torn directly by the sharp cat claws.

Without medical ninjutsu treatment, he was temporarily crippled. In addition, due to the internal injuries caused by the Rasengan, even the Jonin was at the end of his rope.

"The main goal is keep him engaged and busy, no need to fight hard, meow~" After Takeshi finished speaking to Gamaken, he jumped into the forest. Frontal combat was not his strength, and he had already gained a lot of points in the few fights, and his chakra was almost exhausted.

If he continued to fight, he may lose his life. A trapped beast was most dangerous, let alone a Jonin. Life is more important than points.

After sneaking into the forest, he exchanged points for the lowest-priced special cat food. This cat food can restore physical strength and some chakra, and is most suitable for consumption at this time.

After eating, he returned to Rin. After confirming that there was no threat, Rin continued to treat the mission target, while Takeshi hid behind the medical box and observed secretly.

Kakashi's shadow clone was obviously not as strong as it was at the beginning, and it could only be 50-50 against a Chunin. 'Kakashi you really need to get alot better.' Takeshi complained secretly in his heart, but had no intention of going up to support him.

His strength has not been completely restored. Secondly, there is no danger there in a short period of time. The strongest Takayama is disabled in his hands and feet and has lost most of his combat power. At this moment a normal Chunin would be all more threatening than him.

For now, all he needs to do is hold on. If those ninjas attack with earth clones like Kakashi used shadow clones (surprise attack from underground), both Rin and the mission target will die if there is no one to protect them. And he did seriously injure a Jonin, which is an achievement by itself.

"Huh..." After a while, Rin put down her hand and breathed a long sigh of relief. The mission target was fully healed. In a few moments, this guy should wake up, and then she and Takeshi won't have to be so passive.

"Takeshi, Obito's side..."

"Don't worry, nya!" The little black cat is lying down. Obito's side looks dangerous, but in fact it's just a skin injury. It doesn't matter at all. That kid didn't hang out with Guy in vain.

Now his physical skills are impressive and pretty good. The only pity is that he probably hasn't learned the Eight Inner Gates passed down from the Guy's family.

Otherwise, even if he opens the first of the eight gates, he would still be able to win a surprising victory in a battle.

At this time, he listened carefully. The movement in the valley became lighter and lighter. It seemed that Minato was about to finish killing the enemies.

He glanced at the exhausted Takayama that was fighting Gamaken, and found that the ninja in Amegakure Village seemed to have awakened...

In the distance, the Takayama was fighting while retreating. The wounds all over the body were bursting and bleeding.

From the strong attack at the beginning, he turned into a panic and fled. Seeing that he were at the end of his efforts, it was just the right time to kill him.

"Meow!" he called in a low voice, then sneaked into the forest and quickly circled behind Takayama. But while running, Takeshi was thinking about something.

He had two thousand points before, plus the more than one thousand points he got from genjutsu, sneak attacks, and injured legs in the battle with Jonin, he had more than three thousand points.

Originally, he thought he could give priority to the Shadow Clone jutsu. However, after experiencing successive battles, Takeshi discovered that although the Shadow Clone jutsu was powerful, It was quite chakra intensive and he still needed a long-range ninjutsu to fill the gap.

Otherwise, relying solely on quite chakra consuming ninjutsu such as Rasengan and Wild Lion's Mane alone, he would not be enough chakra.

Because it was a temporary idea, he didn't have any good goals. He was browsing shop while running his eyes, observing which ninjutsu was cheap and easy to use.

The cheapest one is Wind Release Great Breakthrough. It is easy to perform and therefore very cheap, but the effect is relatively poor. Although in the hands of Jonin such as Minato, kunai, shuriken and even Fire Release ninjutsu can be blown away, but if used in his mouth, it can only make people feel abit chilled...

Another glance After a few glances, it saw a good jutsu - Wind Release Vacuum Bullet. Worth two thousand points. Quite Cheap! Takeshi looked at the Takayama in the distance and decisively redeemed this ninjutsu.

With this ninjutsu, he can shoot while hiding without having to fight in close quarters all the time. It is tried and tested method.

The usage of the jutsu is relatively simple, so he can master it immediately after redeeming it. In simpler terms, there is no need to form seals. All he needs to do is open his mouth to accumulate chakra, and then spit it out.

He ran behind Takayama, waited for a while... Inhale, spit out! A series of air bullets flew out. After Takeshi spit out bullets, he felt a little weird - why did the feeling of spitting out bullets feel a bit like spitting on others?

Takayama was fighting and retreating from this huge toad, but suddenly heard a gust of wind behind him, and it was obvious that someone was attacking him with wind release.

He immediately dodged to avoid it, but the series of wind bullets were so fast that they almost arrived near his body in the blink of an eye.

At this time, his left hand was half disabled, and his right hand was numbed by the huge force of the Gamaken.

He could only try hard to prevent these wind bullets from hitting his vital parts. His left arm and right foot were injured, so he simply used them block the blow.

The attack almost passed through, but Takayama vaguely felt that the wind bullet seemed to be a little moist, and had a slightly sticky feeling, a bit like... phlegm.

But let alone phlegm at this moment, even if someone spits in his face, he will still have to endure it, because the Gamaken is attacking again.

If this continues, let alone killing the target, he may be the one dying. While he still has the strength, he needs to escape at this moment...

Takayama had this thought in his mind, and his fighting spirit became less and less determined. He glanced around, blocked the opponent's armoured fist with a Sword, and then threw couple Smoke bombs into the ground.

However, the next second, a scream came from the smoke. When the smoke dissipated, Minato was holding Takayama, looking quite exhausted.

"Good job, next..." Minato patted the Gamaken but stumbled and almost fell. Apparently he was fighting two teams alone and rushed back quickly. Even he was exhausted.

"Let's rest for a while. They likely won't attack again soon." The Gamaken is over there. Although he is young, he has accumulated a lot of senjutsu chakra in his body. He does not know ninjutsu but is good at defense and long-duration fighting. He still has a lot of strength after fighting for so long.

"Go and help, first help Obito."

"Yes." The toad jumped up and headed towards the combat zone. Minato sat down, glanced at the corpse next to him, and then pondered for a moment, then formed a seal with his hands and spit out a small fireball, burning the wound on Takayama's chest, making it difficult to see the five bloody holes.

"Meow?" Takeshi emerged from a short distance away and was puzzled for a moment after seeing this scene, and immediately understood the intention of Minato's move. This wound was obviously injured by five Rasengans at the same time.

"Good job." Minato stroked his head, then sat on the ground and continued to observe Takayama's wounds. The sword wound was Kakashi's, on his foot...

"Takayama used to be an ANBU member of Iwagakure Village, and he was very powerful. Fortunately, you and Kakashi cooperated well this time to take the lead in severely injuring and destroying his left hand, otherwise there would be lethal consequences." To a ninja, hands are crucial. There are only a few people who can form seals with one hand or with their feet.

Most people need to form seals with both hands. Losing one hand is equivalent to cutting off the ninjutsu of a Jonin. Although Takayama is good at swordsmanship, he is not one of those people from the Land of Iron who only practiced swordsmanship.

Without ninjutsu, half of his strength was immediately lost. In addition, his hamstring was severed and he was unable to move, which is why he has been fighting so far rather than retreating.

"That's good, meow!"

"I'll treat you to a big meal when we go back. Besides... I'll ask the Uchiha clan head about taking you to the cat ninja castle of their family to buy some weapons and armour. It's always better to have a layer of protection. I'll pay for it, don't worry." Minato was feeling generous. After completing this mission, he can get a lot of reward, which can be used to buy ninja tools for the little black cat.
