"Boom!"
The power of the A-rank ninjutsu broke through Saburo Watanabe's Lightning Release Chakra Mode defense. The powerful Rasengan began to wreak havoc on his back.
When Minato pressed Saburo Watanabe to the ground, a huge commotion occurred.
Saburo Watanabe was seen lying on the ground, which had sunk nearly half a meter deep. A crater with a radius of 5 meters was also officially formed, showing the power of this move.
That was just on the surface. At this time, Saburo Watanabe's internal organs were severely damaged. If it weren't for his strong body and the Lightning Release Chakra Mode that had absorbed part of the damage, he would have likely been killed in one hit.
Saburo Watanabe had completely lost his combat ability. He was lucky to be alive.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for defeating a Jonin. Reward: Lightning Release development +15%."
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for reaching 80% in Lightning Release development."
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the A-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu - Chidori."
Obtaining another A-rank ninjutsu, Minato was overjoyed.
His hard work had not been in vain. As for the matter of Chidori requiring the Sharingan, it was not important to Minato at all.
The improvement of his spirit development and the extremely high reaction speed required for the Flying Thunder God Technique would allow Minato to use Chidori without any obstacles.
Minato walked to Saburo Watanabe's side, sealed his chakra with a sealing jutsu, and then created a shadow clone to watch over him to prevent him from committing suicide. A living person was much more valuable than a dead one.
He had his eyes on the other party's Lightning Release Chakra Mode and wanted to learn it.
It was much better than the Eight Inner Gates, as it didn't harm the body.
Well, it was better than the first few gates. If the Eighth Gate of the Eight Inner Gates was opened, it would truly crush the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
But Minato didn't care. A strong body was fundamental, so he was determined to get the cultivation method for the Lightning Release Chakra Mode. Besides, the combination of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode and Chidori would be a great killing weapon.
He just needed to capture him and bring him back to Konoha.
Then, he would let the Yamanaka clan make a move. Konoha had ways to get the Lightning Release Chakra Mode from this guy.
Hmm, of course, just in case, he also had to capture that elite Chunin, Ichiro Watanabe. He was afraid that this Saburo Watanabe's Lightning Release Chakra Mode might not be complete.
"Yo! You're the first one to take down an enemy, aren't you, Minato? As your teacher, I now know your true strength. Even a Jonin was defeated by you."
As Minato was pondering the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Jiraiya came before him, carrying a half-dead Ichiro Watanabe.
"Thump!"
Jiraiya casually threw Ichiro Watanabe on the ground. Seeing this, Minato quickly went forward to check. He was overjoyed to find that his life was not in danger.
He used a sealing jutsu again, sealing his opponent. Then, he would take him back to the village for intelligence gathering.
"It's not that my strength is too great. I only have the strength of a Special Jonin right now, but I estimate I can reach Jonin soon. And this guy lost to me completely because he was too careless and his luck was too bad."
Minato then told Jiraiya some of the details of the battle, as well as the fateful, coincidental Rasengan at the end.
"That Jonin's luck was really bad. If his position hadn't been right on top of the Flying Thunder God formula, he wouldn't have been taken out in one hit. But luck is also a kind of strength."
Jiraiya laughed heartily. No matter what, his disciple could defeat a Jonin, which was something to boast about.
As Jiraiya and Minato chatted, Mikoto Uchiha and Hayate Gekko also defeated their opponents and came before them.
"Not bad, very good! Team Jiraiya's first mission has been successfully completed. But this was originally a B-rank mission, but it was actually the most difficult of A-rank missions, almost on par with an S-rank."
Jiraiya gave his three students a thumbs-up.
Although Mikoto Uchiha and Hayate Gekko were not his disciples, only his students, Jiraiya was also very happy.
"It's all thanks to Teacher Jiraiya and Minato holding back the strongest few. Only then could we defeat the three Chunin," Mikoto Uchiha said modestly.
Hayate Gekko also nodded. It was a fact, and he couldn't refute it.
"Alright, that's enough. Let's go back to the village, and then I'll have the old man give you the reward for an A-rank mission," Jiraiya said, checking everyone. He then took the surviving Hidden Cloud Village ninjas back to the village.
Out of the seven Cloud ninjas, only three survived: Ichiro Watanabe, Saburo Watanabe, and one Chunin.
Of course, Jiraiya didn't even leave the corpses behind. He directly stored them in a storage scroll, as corpses could also be used to extract intelligence.
Minato and Jiraiya created shadow clones to watch over the three captured ninjas, in case they made any strange moves.
Because of the three burdens, it took them four days to return to the village.
Jiraiya went straight to the Hokage's office to report on the mission, especially about Minato. He wanted Hiruzen Sarutobi to help him get the cultivation method for the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
