Minato felt like crying. What should he do next? Keep killing Chūnin, or find a Jōnin to kill?
But Minato didn't have to wait long. A Jōnin targeted him. After continuously killing three Chūnin from Iwagakure, he naturally attracted attention.
"Kid, your strength isn't bad. You're not just cannon fodder. But your good luck ends here. Let me send you to hell." The Iwa-nin Jōnin revealed a cruel smile.
Crushing geniuses was his favorite thing to do. He wondered who this kid had offended to be thrown onto the battlefield at such a young age. If he were in Iwagakure, he would be treasured.
Hmm, this Jōnin is perfect. This way, Minato no longer had to face his difficult choice.
He looked around. Hmm, there are some teammates nearby. I can't use large-area-of-effect ninjutsu, only targeted ones.
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears!"
Sharp stone spikes emerged from the ground one after another. The Iwa-nin Jōnin had excellent control; none of the spears harmed the people on his side.
Not only did it attack Minato, but it also helped his nearby allies.
Minato couldn't do much about this. His attacks were either single-point or large-area; he didn't have one like Earth Flow Spears that could be separated for pinpoint kills.
Faced with the attack, Minato didn't dodge. He took a step back and then used a small Rasengan to break the sharp stone spikes.
Huh, wait. It seems I do have one that can be separated and counters the Iwa-nin's element. It's just a bit low-level, and I haven't used it in a long time, so I naturally forgot about it.
"Lightning Release: Ground Crawl!"
He did as he thought. His hands quickly formed seals. Arcs of electricity appeared on his body, then spread across the ground, attacking the enemy Jōnin.
The electricity running along the ground split off from time to time to attack nearby Iwa-nin. Since it was on the way, he helped his Konoha comrades, just like the Iwa-nin Jōnin had done earlier.
"Earth Release: Rising Earth Wall!"
A large stone slab rose from the ground, blocking the path of the Lightning Release: Ground Crawl.
Leaving a Flying Thunder God seal on the spot, Minato rushed towards the Iwa-nin Jōnin. He decided to engage in close combat, then find an opportunity to use Chidori and finish this guy off.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh."
As Minato tried to get close to the Iwa-nin Jōnin, the opponent threw several shuriken to obstruct him.
To deal with such a small trick, Minato handled it with one "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough," blowing all the flying shuriken away.
Seeing the obstruction failed, the Iwa-nin Jōnin frowned. Relying on his confidence in his strength, he decided to clash head-on with Minato.
A dignified Jōnin, how could I be afraid of a little kid? So what if this kid also has Jōnin-level strength?
"Earth Release: Rock Fist!"
The Iwa-nin Jōnin concentrated Earth-nature chakra in his hand, turning it into a hard stone fist, and struck at the charging Minato.
"Wind Release: Whirlwind Fist!"
Right, we're both using fists. Let's see whose fist is harder. The intangible Whirlwind Fist slammed against the tangible Rock Fist.
"Boom!"
After the two ninjutsu collided in mid-air, they both disappeared.
But in that short moment, Minato finally got close to the Iwa-nin Jōnin.
"This distance is enough. It's time to let this ninjutsu appear in the ninja world, and let my name resound a little." Minato quickly formed three seals.
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp..." Just as the Iwa-nin Jōnin frowned, seeing his ninjutsu and the kid's cancel each other out, a sharp, piercing sound came from ahead.
It was like a thousand birds chirping at once. The sound spread out from the kid's hand. But when he saw the visible ball of lightning in the kid's hand, the Iwa-nin Jōnin's face changed.
"What kind of terrifying ninjutsu is this? How can a kid master such a powerful technique? It must be at least an A-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu, right? Damn it, and Lightning Release just happens to counter my Earth Release."
The Iwa-nin Jōnin started cursing in his heart. Where did this little monster come from? He's so strong, he's not leaving any way for others to live.
Not only the Iwa-nin Jōnin facing Minato, but even the surrounding Iwa-nin and Konoha ninja couldn't help but turn pale. That blinding lightning was truly terrifying. If hit by that thing, who could survive?
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp..." The dazzling lightning was not only shocking, but it also drowned out all other sounds.
"Minato... Hiss... That terrifying Lightning Release probably doesn't lose out to the Third Raikage of Kumogakure, right? Don't tell me the kid developed it himself."
"That damn brat, keeping such an incredibly powerful ninjutsu hidden even from his teacher. He's really not cute at all." Although Jiraiya was complaining, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.
Tsunade, who had always called herself Minato's older sister, was also filled with pride upon seeing this. My 'brother'.
