During the probing just now, Minato discovered that the Water Release ninja, Anbu A, was relatively slow. Therefore, Minato prepared to make him the breakthrough target.
He once again created four shadow clones. Three of them rushed towards Anbu B, while the other one rushed to entangle Anbu A.
"Kid, I already told you shadow clones are useless," Anbu B said while fighting the shadow clones, simultaneously guarding against a sneak attack from Minato's real body.
"Chirp chirp chirp..." The piercing sound of birds chirping gathered in Minato's hand. A dazzling white ball of lightning throbbed in his hand, with blue arcs of lightning dancing around it.
"Crap! Why wasn't such a terrifying Lightning Release in the intelligence reports?"
"Damn it, that visible ball of lightning chakra in the kid's hand is too dangerous. I absolutely cannot be hit by that move."
"Not good! His target is Anbu A! This is bad, I have to provide support, or Anbu A is in danger."
"Damn it, his target is me! If I can get back alive, I'll definitely kill all of Root's intelligence agents as a sacrifice!"
On the battlefield, Anbu A and Anbu B's expressions changed drastically.
One look at that ninjutsu and they knew they couldn't be hit by it. They immediately became more cautious.
"Swoosh."
The Chidori finished forming. Minato kicked off the ground, his entire body turning into a bolt of lightning, his mind already firmly locked onto Anbu A.
Minato's face exuded an astonishing killing intent. Shimura Danzō, I'll kill one of yours first as interest. When I get back, I'll settle the score with you.
As Minato dashed towards Anbu A, the shadow clone entangling Anbu A charged forward, pouncing fearlessly. It was just a shadow clone, so it couldn't die anyway.
As for Anbu B, he was also tied down by the three other fearless shadow clones, losing the optimal window to provide rescue.
Relying on that astonishing speed, Minato instantly rushed in front of Anbu A, who was busy tangling with the shadow clone and trying to dodge.
The dazzling lightning was incredibly violent. The intersecting blue and white light clearly illuminated Anbu A's face, which was filled with despair.
"Puchi!"
The Chidori, like an incomparably sharp spear, pierced through Anbu A. His fragile body couldn't stop it at all, and his entire torso was penetrated in an instant.
Minato pulled his hand back. A round hole appeared in Anbu A's body. Through this hole, Minato could see the scenery behind Anbu A.
"Urk."
Anbu A moved his lips, wanting to say something, but his injuries were too severe. His head drooped, and he took a bellyful of words with him to hell.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing one Elite Jōnin. Random reward: Sage Body Development +5%."
Yoho, a random reward for the Sage Body. It's been a while since I got this reward. Not bad, not bad. This wave wasn't a loss.
As the Sage Body Development increased by 5%, Minato clearly felt the chakra throughout his body increase slightly.
"Next, it's your turn. I definitely won't let you leave. Just wait for death." As Minato spoke, he took out about ten three-pronged kunai and threw them in all directions.
"Thud thud thud."
Ten kunai covered the entire 180-degree area in front of Anbu B. Minato flashed with a golden light to a corner, then took out another ten three-pronged kunai and threw them.
Just like that, Anbu B was completely surrounded, 360 degrees, by twenty three-pronged kunai.
It sounds like a long time, but this all happened in just one second. Anbu B didn't even have time to stop it. The Flying Thunder God Technique was terrifying.
"I have filled the surrounding 50-meter radius with kunai marked with my Flying Thunder God formula. Now, you have no escape." After doing all this, Minato stared at the Elite Jōnin, full of killing intent.
Anbu B was frightened by Minato's murderous gaze and subconsciously took a step back.
His heart was filled with panic. Two of them couldn't kill this kid; instead, one was killed. Now he was the only one left. How could he fight?
Moreover, the opponent was a user of space-time ninjutsu, and the surroundings were filled with his coordinates. He couldn't even run away.
Anbu B's heart sank to the bottom. This feeling of waiting for death was not pleasant; it was simply torture.
The saddest part was, he didn't even have the right to take the enemy down with him. What kind of situation was this? It was too bullying.
"I curse you all to go to hell with me!" Anbu B cursed the entire Root in his heart.
If Minato knew his inner curse, he would definitely tell him, "Don't worry, your last wish will be fulfilled."
Although Anbu B was in despair, he hadn't given up. We are both Elite Jōnin. I can at least stall for time. Don't forget, there's still a comrade fighting on the other side.
As long as he can capture those two as hostages, maybe I won't have to die here today.
At this thought, hope reignited in Anbu B's heart. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. I'll drag this out as long as I can.
But he had no idea that the Jōnin he placed his hopes on was currently being suppressed by Mikoto and Nagakaze's combined efforts, in a precarious situation.
