Chapter 277

But as soon as they came into contact, Minato found a solution.

You know, Obito defeated many strong men with this ability, but Minato almost made Obito's ability ineffective even though it was the first contact.

At this time, Naruto seemed to have become Minato at that time, and Minato became Obito at that time.

"But..."

"You shouldn't use this ninjutsu."

In front of Minato was the Rasengan that was about to disappear because of Naruto's clone, but... this was the ninjutsu invented by Minato Namikaze.

Minato's palm appeared on the Rasengan, and the blue light quickly grew larger in the next moment.

"Senjutsu. Secondary Multiplication Rasengan Flash Pill!"

Under normal circumstances, Minato would have no way to counterattack effectively, but the situation at this time was not normal at all.

Minato's attack also hit Naruto the moment Naruto's attack arrived.

"Boom! Boom!"

The Rasengan with the blessing of natural energy directly shattered Naruto's chakra coat, and at the same time, Naruto's fist also smashed Minato directly into the ground.

The terrifying force directly smashed Minato's waist, and Naruto was also injured. However, out of instinctive combat reaction, Naruto used the Shadow Clone Technique again in mid-air.

A large number of clones protected Naruto's body, and Naruto's body also arrived next to Toneri after landing.

At this time, Toneri's eyes had already emitted white light, and the five attributes of chakra were fully condensed, ready to attack at any time.

But Naruto raised his hand to stop Toneri.

Toneri didn't say much. He was worried about the other party's pursuit, so he just reminded him.

"That person is very strong, not like an ordinary ninja."

"That is... Konoha's fourth generation Hokage, and also a good friend of Brother Shanks."

"It's just..."

Naruto stood up tremblingly. His clothes on his chest were torn and several bones were broken, but this kind of injury was nothing to Naruto.

What really concerned him was...

"Why...why can he use my Rasengan!!"

Naruto is different from others. He has a lot of chakra in his body, so even if he reintegrates some of his chakra into his body, he can still perform ninjutsu.

It won't be like Zabuza's ninjutsu, where his ninjutsu will directly regress by several levels, because Naruto only knows a few ninjutsu, and there is not much room for regression.

But Naruto understands that the counterattack just now is very abnormal, extremely abnormal.

In the distance, Minato stood up again.

Looking at the large piece of missing on his waist, Minato smiled proudly. If it was an ordinary person, no, to be precise, if it was the old him.

Then Naruto just won.

"It's great that I've grown up and can stand on my own!"

The smoke and dust dissipated with the wind, and Minato's divine robe rustled. He turned and looked behind him.

In the distance, Naruto's clones made way for the main body. Naruto looked at Minato from a distance, and for the first time in his eyes, there appeared...

sadness.

That carefree kid also felt sadness for the first time.

If something had never existed, it would be fine.

Naruto's eyes were filled with tears, but he said nothing. He just looked at Minato in the distance quietly.

He put down his right hand that was covering the "injury" on his chest. That was the place where he was hit by the Rasengan. The injury was not light.

But what Naruto really covered up was his heart.

He raised his head, and tears slid from his lower eyelashes and fell to the ground with this action.

And his face once again regained its former cheerfulness and sunshine, as well as the look that seemed a little carefree.

"Konoha's fourth-generation Hokage, Namikaze Minato!"

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I am a man who will become a Hokage and lead Konoha to a new era! !

Fourth-generation Hokage, I will prove it to you. I, Uzumaki Naruto, will prove it to you one day!"

Naruto panted and roared these words.

At this moment, Naruto seemed to have returned to the time when he was in the Land of Waves, when he was childish and arrogant, when he boasted to Shanks.

He said he wanted to become the Hokage of Konoha, to lead Konoha into a new era, and to become the Hokage of the new era.

Naruto has experienced a lot and has become much more mature, but... Naruto now says these words like a child back then.

He just wants to prove something...

He can be their pride, the pride of his parents.

"Is that so?"

Minato's voice was gentle, as if it was not him who fought with Naruto the last moment.

But this voice seemed to carry a hint of pride.

"If your mother could see you now, she would be very pleased, Naruto."

Minato looked at his son. Naruto was already a strong man who could be compared with these "shadows".

But Minato also knew that the reason why Naruto could achieve what he has today was inseparable from Shanks.

Although he had never seen Shanks and didn't know Shanks, Minato could clearly see Shanks' care for Naruto and... the care of other Uzumaki clan members for Naruto through the newspapers that Kabuto gave him.

"Naruto!"

"If you meet Shanks, thank him for me."

A smile appeared on Minato's face. He, an incompetent father, was really... very grateful to Shanks, very grateful for Shanks' presence.

I am very grateful that his son was not bullied by others, not bullied by the world government, and was not treated as a senseless war machine by those people.

He... was grateful to Shanks.

After saying this, Minato disappeared.

he left.

Everything was as if it had never happened. Only Naruto felt a trace of reluctance in his heart. He looked at the wound on his chest. It was obviously painful, but he felt... it seemed warm.

And what Minato said before leaving also reminded Naruto of something.

"Ku Lama...the Yondaime Hokage is my father, right?"

Naruto looked at his right hand. As someone who has been exposed to the ultimate power of Ninja Sect, Naruto has a very keen sense of the bond, that is, the response of will.

Kyuubi just nodded.

"Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

"No wonder Brother Shanks takes such good care of me. It turns out I'm the son of his good friend, hehe."

Naruto's mood suddenly became cheerful at this time. Combined with what Minato said when he left, Naruto was even more sure that Minato and Shanks were friends.

Otherwise, why should I thank Brother Shanks the next time I meet him?

"However, Brother Shanks and my father are friends, so I still call Brother Shanks my brother?"

Naruto mused, this seniority seemed a bit chaotic.

Chapter 274 Gaara’s Showdown

On the other side, Kabuto's clone disappeared, and Minato left the battlefield.

To be precise, this is not a real battlefield, just their initial contact.

Where Kabuto left, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, and Sasuke felt the residual natural energy at the scene.

To be precise, he realized that he had encountered an enemy after seeing Naruto's burst of power, so he rushed back.

"Immortal?"

Sasuke's perception is very strong, which means that Toneri's perception of natural energy is stronger than Sasuke's. In other aspects, Sasuke's perception is superior to those of the same sex.

"Shikamaru, is there something wrong with Naruto?"

Sasuke communicated with Shikamaru from a distance through Ino's ability to "occupy the fruit". Ino's fruit ability was also reversed by using the "Heart Turning Technique" of the Yamanaka clan. Various developed secret techniques are very important to Ino. There is no difficulty.

Long-distance call locking is also one of the capabilities.

"It's okay. Naruto was a little injured, and an adjutant was injured. The injuries are not serious."

"but……"

"But what?"

Sasuke frowned. The situation on his side was also very troublesome. He just showed up and this happened. This was not a good sign.

"The person who took action was the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who was reincarnated from the filthy earth.

The opponent is very strong, much stronger than those strong men in the old era. I did not expect that the fourth generation Hokage was so strong. "

Shikamaru knew all kinds of records about Konoha by heart. Although Konoha didn't have as many records about Minato as other Kages, they were still more than normal ninjas.

Shikamaru knew that the Fourth Hokage was a genius with extremely outstanding abilities, and could even be said to be the top genius in Konoha because he was too young.

As for the "Sandaime" who has the most records in Konoha's database, well... Shikamaru can only say, it's hard to say, Shikamaru more or less looks down on the strong men of the old era represented by the Sandaime.

The more you know, the more you can understand the difference between the new era and the old era.

But now a strong man suddenly appeared, and he was a strong man from the old era, but he was so strong that it completely broke Shikamaru's stereotype of the old era.

"The Fourth Hokage, Kakashi-sensei's teacher?"

"The man Shanks calls Kizaru."

After hearing Shikamaru's surprised tone, Sasuke was not surprised at all. Although he was a figure from the old era, he was a strong man remembered by Shanks, and he was by no means ordinary.

"Where are you?"

Shikamaru asked, knowing that Sasuke had also found something.

“There are remnants of natural energy, but no personal information about the other party was found, and no personal spiritual power was left behind.

Not found. "

Sasuke is not a fool, his brain works better than Naruto's under normal circumstances.

Sasuke said he couldn't find it, but he had actually targeted the immortals of the World Government.

Except for the top sages of the World Government, the sage mode used by normal ninjas will leave their own traces, either some spiritual power or a stronger will.

This is a sign of insufficient control of the celestial chakra, but for celestial beings, this problem does not exist.

“If there is no evidence, then there is no need to continue the investigation.

However, be careful, the enemy has appeared, and except for people inside Konoha, everyone may become our enemy. "

After Shikamaru finished speaking, he shook his head at Naruto, Toneri and the others.

"We haven't found out which side the enemy belongs to. Be careful. The war has already begun."

Shikamaru can be sure that since other enemies have appeared here, there will definitely be no shortage of enemies in other places.

War has broken out.

As for the cause of the war? Who cares?

Just like World War I, after the Sarajevo incident broke out, who would care about the assassins of the dead?

Shikamaru didn't care, and the people who participated in the war this time didn't care either.

The monster was a bonus, although it was a big bonus, but it was just a bonus after all.

The next day, at the border between the Swamp Country and the Demon Country, as the sand wrapped around Gaara slowly shattered, Gaara also felt the will contained in the sand fading.
