Chapter 288 Limiting Namikaze Minato's Speed

After half a day, Kanpū and his group arrived at the logistics supply route. This is a long and narrow rock path that can only accommodate two people at the same time. There are also steep rock walls on both sides.

"It's not easy to ambush here." Kanpū frowned slightly as he looked at the long and narrow rock path in front of him.

'If we lie in ambush in the rock path, there is no way to hide people on such a long and narrow road.'

'If we lie in ambush on the rock wall, it is too obvious.'

Kanpū himself is not afraid, after all, he has the Transparent Release, but the rest didn't.

"Yes, I don't think it's very good either."

Maika then looked at Minato, "Minato-sama, what do you think?"

Minato looked up at the top of the rock wall. As this place is already very close to the Land of Earth, the sky is no longer gloomy. Through the narrow cracks on the rock wall, a faint sunlight can be seen.

"This is indeed a good place to ambush."

Minato pondered and said, "If you can dive into the rock walls on both sides…"

'The rock walls?'

Kanpū's fixedly looked at the rock walls on both sides, and a thought flashed through his mind, then he said: "Is it a trap?"

There are several Earth Release Ninjutsu that allow the user to enter the ground, such as Subterranean Voyage, Hiding in Rock Technique, and Hiding Like a Mole Technique, 'If this is really a trap, aren't 't the rock wall on both sides full of Iwagakure's Shinobi?

Kanpū formed the hand seals to use Sensor Ninjutsu, but unfortunately, his trashy Sensor Ninjutsu could not sense the inside of the rock, and then he creates a shadow clone, and ordered the shadow clone to dive into the rock wall using Subterranean Voyage.

"Kanpū, you think too much."

Maika looked at Kanpū strangely, "Although you are the one who tortured the information from that Iwagakure's Shinobi, but everyone was there at the time, and that Iwagakure's Shinobi didn't seem to be lying."

Kanpū then said: "What if the information that Iwagakure's Shinobi has was meant to lure us into taking the bait?"

Konuma suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed: "I understand, those two Iwagakure's Shinobi are likely to be bait, the bait that led us here!"

Several people felt their scalps numb at this moment.

"Did they sacrifice two of their companions just to bring us here?" Maika was shocked. Although they are from different side, this approach of sacrificing their companions was really unacceptable.

Soon, Kanpū's shadow clone came out of the rock wall and shook his head at Kanpū. He turned a half circle in the rock wall and didn't encounter any figure.

"Is there actually no Iwagakure's Shinobi?"

Kanpū disbanded the shadow clone, but still feels unsafe, so he turned around and looked towards Minato, "Minato-sama, why don't we withdraw, safety first."

Minato pondered for a while, and then took out a handful of kunai engraved with Flying Thunder God Technique's formula, and said: "You guys stay here and wait for me, I will go in and take a look."

"Minato-sama." The licking dog Maika hurriedly try to squeeze Kanpū away, but he couldn't squeeze him, so he had no choice but to push his buttocks and forcibly squeezed in front of Kanpū, and then respectfully reached out to take the kunai.

'A**kisser!'

Kanpū really wanted to stab him with a thousand years of dead, but when he remembered his extraordinary strength… 'Forget it, if I stabbed him, it would not end well.'

Then, Minato's figure flashed and he entered the rock path directly.

After a while, there was a sudden earth-shattering vibration in the rock road. Under the shocked gazes of Kanpū's group of six, the steep rock walls on both sides of the narrow rock path seemed to become two doors, slowly merging with the violent shaking!

The mud and debris in the sky spread from the depths of the rock path along with the smell of soil, making people want to sneeze.

'This is… Sandwich Technique?!'

"Quickly run!"

Kanpū's expression changed. Before he came, he had seen this place from a distance, and there were two tall hillsides. How could he think it would actually be Sandwich Technique?

At this moment, his desire to survive exploded. He instantly used Transparent Release and became invisible on the spot, then he ran quietly and quickly ran far away!

The shaking sound formed by the closing of the rock walls resounded through several dozens of kilometers, which perfectly covered the sound of Kanpū's footsteps!

At this time, Maika, who was standing in the same place, tightly held the special kunai in his hands. Yoshihide, Konuma, Junichi, Mai also surrounded him, and the five people did not pay attention to Kanpū at all.

The huge rock walls are still rumbling, and the five people are nervous.

"Why hasn't Minato-sama come back?"

"It's okay, Minato-sama will be fine."

Boom!!!

With the loud rumbling sound, the two huge semi-circular rock walls finally closed, and the ground in a radius of dozens of kilometers calmed down in an instant. At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside Maika, and it's none other than Minato!

"Minato-sama, you are finally back!"

"That's great!"

"Sure enough, it's a trap of Iwagakure, everyone quickly retreat!" Minato didn't have time to reminisce with them, so he decisively ordered to retreat.

But at this time, hundreds of Iwagakure's Shinobi rushed out of the surrounding ground, besieging Minato and the other five under the rock wall in all directions. Then, without giving time for Minato to throw the kunai, they immediately formed hand seals to use Earth-Style Wall, earth walls rose up irregularly, surrounding Minato and the other five, and also blocked Namikaze Minato's sight and his… special kunai!

"Namikaze Minato, this is the end!"

Yamahashi appeared on the huge rock ball behind the six, looking down at Minato and the others with hatred in his eyes, but there was also a bit of complacency.

At the beginning, he issued an order to retreat whenever someone encountered Yellow Flash, but it was something deliberate!

The first reason is naturally because of Minato is so powerful that he can kill 50 Jōnin instantly. With such terrifying strength, anyone who encounters him will die, so issuing this order can effectively prevent the Iwagakure's Shinobi who overestimate their capabilities from sending themselves to death.

The second reason is to paralyze Minato, make him proud, make him lower his guard, make him mistakenly think that Iwagakure's Shinobi can do nothing to him, make him more reckless and active in the rear, and then wait for the opportunity to kill him!

The third reason is to help Minato become famous!

The more famous Minato become, the more prestige they will gain after they kill Namikaze Minato, and the greater the blow to Konoha!

The death of an ordinary Jōnin, and the death of a Jōnin who can be as famous as Konoha's Sannin, the difference is huge!

Because of that, after Minato became famous in the Shinobi World, Yamahashi, as the leader, personally led a team to ambush Minato!

'As for how to kill Minato…'

'Hehehe!'

'Namikaze Minato is indeed powerful, but his power is mainly reflected in speed!'

'As long as his speed is limited, his strength will be limited, and there is a chance of killing him!'

After confirming with Kitsuchi the process of Minato fighting the fifty Iwagakure's Jōnin on that day and the process of killing his disciple, Monga, Yamahashi understood where Minato's power came from.

'Kunai!'

'The kunai thrown by Namikaze Minato must have been marked with special time-space coordinates, which is the basis for him to be able to move instantly in a short distance!

'As long as we can limit Namikaze Minato's kunai, we can limit his speed, and we can…kill him!'

Yamahashi squinted his eyes, and a smile slowly emerged from the corner of his mouth: 'Monga, sensei will avenge you!!'

Below, Minato, who was surrounded by the messy stone walls, did feel a little troubled.

Hundreds of Iwagakure's Shinobi are scattered in all directions, blocking his figure with stone walls, and the distance between them is also extremely large, so it is difficult for his kunai to be accurately thrown to their location. Of course, the biggest trouble comes from the six behind him… 'Huh?'

'How come there are only five people?'

Minato counted, 'Where's Kanpū?'

Maika, Yoshihide, Konuma, Junichi, and Mai also seem to realize.

"Where's Kanpū?!"

"Why is he missing?"

"Did he get into the ground?"

"Impossible, there are so many Iwagakure's Shinobi here, how could he get into the ground under their noses?"

"He can't just disappear out of thin air, right?"

The five people watched the surrounding vigilantly while muttering. There was not much worry in their expressions, because Minato, who is standing next to them, didn't look panicked!
