[119] Namikaze Minato

Namikaze Minato

This is a character from the manga called "Naruto."

His most proficient technique is called "Flying Thunder God." By placing marks on specific kunai and then using them to teleport like space-time jutsu.

Moreover, it's not just kunai; he can teleport to any place marked with his seals.

Earlier,

Namikaze Minato had already left marks on Assassin's arm when he first caught her.

Not just her arm, but her back as well.

In this way, even if she were to cut off her own hand, Namikaze Minato could still track her. Assassin's prideful speed had been sealed.

Not only that.

As a top ninja in "Naruto," he naturally knew genjutsu techniques.

He used shadow clones to find traces of spells on Kotomine Kirei's body. Then, he instantly moved using the Flying Thunder God and used genjutsu to force him to hand over the command spells. This was the battle plan he had set.

As for the Assassin in front of him, Namikaze Minato would also give his all to defeat her. After all, his character attribute is "Good," and there are countless people around him who are in dire straits. Staying in this mist would lead to a dead end.

Moreover, even if Assassin were to die, she would simply return to the Throne of Heroes.

"Sorry, since you're not willing to lift this barrier—"

Rasengan!

With that said, Namikaze Minato had already appeared behind Assassin. A blue light sphere appeared in his hand and attacked her from behind.

"Ah—!"

Boom!

The Rasengan attack hit squarely.

"Sorry... I'm not good at purifying your resentment. I'm not skilled in that aspect," Namikaze Minato said apologetically as he looked at Assassin lying on the ground.

"Mom... mom... I want to... go back..."

Saying that, Assassin, who had been hit by the attack, slowly turned into dots of light and disappeared.

Namikaze Minato furrowed his brow slightly. "Is she incomplete..."

"What?" Kazuya asked.

"No... it's nothing. It might be this person's characteristic. I feel like something's missing in her..." Namikaze Minato said.

In this Holy Grail War, the first Heroic Spirit to exit had appeared.

Watching the mist dissipate around him, Namikaze Minato breathed a sigh of relief. "Your target is that person called Kotomine Kirei, right?"

"Yeah, that's right. Once I obtain the command spells from him, this mission will be successfully completed."

"Well then," Namikaze Minato said as he dispelled his shadow clone and instantly appeared at the location where his shadow clone had been running for over a minute. He jumped onto a nearby building, and a golden light appeared on him.

Nine-Tails Mode —

Under normal circumstances, Namikaze Minato could maintain two summoned clones for thirty minutes. However, using the Nine-Tails Mode, one minute was equivalent to five minutes in normal conditions.

"I found it."

After searching for a while, Namikaze Minato opened his eyes and said, "So that's the so-called command spells... But.. your name Kurokawa Kazuya, right?"

"Yes, just call me Kurokawa."

"Well... then, let me be straightforward." Namikaze Minato dispelled the time-consuming Nine-Tails Mode and said, "There's a powerful presence heading this way. Should we hide or fight?"

"Find a place with no one and fight," Kazuya said directly. "After all, you only have thirty minutes to act. Don't waste it."

"That's true... although it looks like I only have a little over twenty minutes now. But... let's finish your business first." Namikaze Minato said and quickly headed towards the location where he had sensed Kotomine Kirei.

...

[News: Several people suddenly collapsed in Fuyuki City. For more details, please see the following reports.]

...

"I found you, are you Kotomine Kirei?"

"I see, so you're the person Caster summoned using her abilities... You act fast. I was prepared to use all the command spells just in case. But I didn't expect Assassin to be eliminated so quickly."

"So, what's your plan next?" Namikaze Minato looked at the emotionless man in front of him, even in this situation, and asked, "Are you going to escape or leave the command spells?"

"Of course, I'll leave the command spells. That way, you'll spare me, won't you? As for escaping, I have no confidence in escaping from someone who could kill Assassin in that state."

"If you're this honest, sparing you might not be impossible," Namikaze Minato continued, furrowing his brow. He felt a strange quality from the man in front of him. Right now, he wasn't sure if it was right or wrong to spare him.

"Kurokawa, do you think it's better to spare him or kill him?" Namikaze Minato asked Kazuya in his mind.

Kazuya was also in a dilemma.

Kotomine Kirei could not be considered a good person, whether before or after being influenced by Gilgamesh.

Before being influenced, he was the executor of the Church, responsible for numerous deaths. And after being influenced, he became even worse, finding pleasure in destruction and seeing others' pain as his own pleasure. Such people were not uncommon in the modern era Kazuya had come from. There were many who took pleasure in others' suffering.

However, Kotomine Kirei was different. He would personally create pain and then savor that feeling...

It could be said that he had a particularly malevolent personality.

But even so, this malevolent personality had its own allure... just like how some people liked DIO, the natural-born villain in JOJO. However, liking a character was one thing, and if he were to appear in reality...

More than half of those who liked this character would probably want to eliminate him directly.

So...

After thinking for a few seconds, Kazuya said, "How about killing... No, how about sealing him?"

"Sealing, huh... Well, that's not a bad idea. I also have some knowledge of sealing jutsu," Namikaze Minato said in relief.

"Then, extend your hand," Kotomine Kirei said, reaching out his own hand.

"Okay," Namikaze Minato said, extending his hand. In the next moment, the command spells on Kotomine Kirei's arm disappeared one by one.

At the same time... Kazuya clearly felt that they had gained additional command spells.

"Only seven?" Namikaze Minato asked Kazuya's question.

"Yes, that's right. I used one myself, after all. My Assassin isn't that easy to control. One wrong move, and she would have killed me, her Master."

"I see," Namikaze Minato said, and then, his hand suddenly pressed against Kotomine Kirei's abdomen.

"What's this?" Kotomine Kirei was puzzled.

"Four Symbols Seal—"
