Chapter 28 Genius

Led by Jiraiya, they came to an open space in the woods outside the village.

He has been guiding Minato in his training here all along.

"What I am going to teach you today is the jutsu created by the Sandaime Hokage, my teacher."

Jiraiya's face was serious and he pulled out a shuriken.

"This technique is called Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique."

"The inspiration comes from the Shadow Clone Technique of the Second Hokage."

Jiraiya threw the shuriken at the target and deliberately slowed down the speed of forming hand seals.

As Jiraiya completed the hand seal, the number of shurikens, which was originally only one, increased rapidly and flew towards the target densely.

Accompanied by dense thumping sounds.

The entire target was covered with shurikens.

"Although the seals are not complicated, they require extremely delicate mobilization of chakra."

"Therefore, this jutsu is rated A-level."

"It took me nearly a year to master this ninjutsu."

Summoning Minato to his front, Jiraiya took out a scroll, which clearly recorded the hand seal method of this ninjutsu and how to mobilize chakra.

As a good friend of Hiruzen, Danzo naturally knew enough about this ninjutsu.

Since Jiraiya dared to teach him this technique, it proved that the Minato in front of him had already mastered the Shadow Clone Technique.

He is just a kid who graduated from Ninja School early.

Danzo had a clearer understanding of Minato's talent.

......

After Minato practiced for two and a half hours, Jiraiya took the initiative to stop him.

"Okay, Minato, take a break."

Patting Minato's shoulder, Jiraiya spoke softly with a satisfied smile on his face.

He could see that Minato was gradually figuring out the jutsu.

From then on, just let nature take its course.

"That's perfect. After you rest, let Danzo-sama guide you."

Hearing Jiraiya's words, Minato nodded in obedience.

He put away the shuriken on the target and sat down next to Kushina.

In the sunlight, the figures of the two were reflected in the eyes of Danzo and Jiraiya.

Looking at the sincere smiles on both sides, they couldn't help but sigh.

Young is so good.

Unfortunately......

Both of them are famous singles in Konoha.

When Jiraiya thought of how he had been rejected many times by Tsunade, he wanted to bite his handkerchief and cry.

As for Danzo, in his early years, the only person he loved was "Hokage".

Don't get me wrong, it's the position of Hokage, not that guy Hiruzen.

This caused him to miss the perfect age for falling in love.

The two of them watched the children showing off their love with mixed feelings.

......

"It can be seen that you have a talent for the training of ninjutsu."

Seeing that Minato was almost done resting, Danzo ignored Kushina's resentful expression and interrupted their conversation.

I'm dying of laughter. I won't have dinner if I keep watching this.

I’m almost full!

"So, I won't teach you any ninjutsu today."

Danzo began to adjust his own state.

"Actual combat exercise. You will be given ten minutes to attack me with all your strength."

"Remember, do it with the belief that you can kill me!"

As Danzo finished speaking, an astonishing aura burst out from his body.

Kushina's face turned pale. As a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, she could clearly sense the other party's chakra that was like a sharp blade.

It's so scary. He looks like just an ordinary uncle.

She couldn't help but start to worry about Minato.

Jiraiya, who was originally leaning against a tree, was also shocked by this momentum and stood up straight.

This guy Danzo is serious!

However, he soon relaxed.

[It's better to be more serious, so that Minato can experience the feeling of actual combat in advance. ]

I thought so.

After all, it's impossible for Danzo to really kill Minato.

And I am here too.

At this time, Minato had put away his smile and his eyes were serious.

The moment the other party released his aura, he felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.

It seemed as if in the next second, he would be stabbed by the poisonous fangs.

The entire back of my neck could feel the chill.

"I see, this is the strength of a jonin level?"

Leaning down, Minato leaned back with his right foot, pulled out a kunai, and assumed a fighting stance.

Covering his feet with chakra and pushing off the ground hard, Minato rushed towards Danzo like an arrow.

So fast.

For a Genin, this speed is already very good.

By slightly turning sideways, Danzo easily avoided the attack.

But at the moment they passed each other, Minato threw the kunai in his hand and began to form seals with his hands.

"Wind Escape·Breakthrough!"

Taking a deep breath, Minato opened his mouth and exhaled a ball of wind.

Wind-attribute ninjutsu is known for its speed, accuracy and ruthlessness.

In his opinion, the throwing of kunai should be able to expose Danzo's weakness.

“It’s a good idea.”

Complimented the other person.

Danzo pulled out a shuriken from his tool bag and threw it forward, successfully knocking down Minato's kunai.

As for the next Wind Style Breakthrough...

Not planning to use ninjutsu to block this move, Danzo chose to jump sideways to avoid it.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Seeing that Danzo acted as he expected, Minato, who had not yet landed, immediately summoned a shadow clone.

Then he let the shadow clone grab his ankles, spun himself around and threw him out, flying towards Danzo.

"Fire Release·Fire Bullet."

Minato did not intend to give Danzo time to react, and before he rushed to him, he used Fire Style to suppress the opponent.

Feeling the heat of the flames, Danzo, who had just stood firm, did not dodge and allowed the fireball to swallow him.

As we all know, Fire Style cannot kill people.

Therefore, when the flames died down, those who rushed to the water gate saw only a charred wooden stake.

"Sure enough, it's a substitution technique!"

He had already guessed it when the other party did not choose to dodge.

As a rule, after performing a substitution technique, the practitioner will usually appear behind the enemy!

"Lightning Release: Thunder Wave."

Lightning flashed around the water gate, forming a protective net created by lightning.

Just as Minato expected, Danzo was indeed behind him.

Danzo also keenly observed his hand seals and retracted his attack.

Move backwards to avoid lightning.

Wind escape, fire escape, lightning escape, shadow clone...

as well as--

With his arms raised, Danzo took Minato's flying kick.

This is excellent physical skill.

I have to say that as a ninja, Minato is indeed a genius.

Feeling the numbing sensation in his arm, Danzo turned sideways again and watched Minato's foot kicking past his face.

"That's a bit too much."

Reaching out and grabbing the opponent's calf, Danzo exerted a little force and threw Minato far away.

At this time, only five minutes had passed.
