Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 270 Guidance
Spring of Konoha 43.

Two and a half years have passed since the Second Shinobi World War, and Konoha Village has completely recovered from the pain of war, with everything thriving.

The Senju clan, like grass that has been burned by wildfire but sprouted again in the spring breeze, has grown from a meager existence of two Chunin and three Genin at the end of the war, almost to the point of disbanding, to a lineup of two Jonin, four Chunin, and three Genin, including the shogun.

Although they cannot compare with the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, they have already reached the scale of a mid-level Konoha ninja clan. The birth of several newborns has also brought more laughter and joy to the clan's territory.

In addition, two children who reached the appropriate age entered the ninja academy. One was born last year and the other is a freshman this year. Both of them have good ninja talents. It is foreseeable that in two or three years, the Senju clan will have new strength again, adding new branches and leaves to this withered tree that has come back to life.

As a freshman at Konoha Ninja Academy this year, Senju Eiichi is a devoted fan of Kanekichi and, influenced by his elders, he develops a mutual dislike for Obito of the Uchiha clan.

On their way home from school, the two six-year-old children could bicker and argue.

"Brother Yi is a hundred times stronger than your clan's Uchiha Fugaku, no, a thousand times stronger!"

"No, Fugaku-nii is ten thousand times stronger than Senju Intsuki! A hundred thousand times stronger!"

"Our brother Yi improved the medical system of Konoha Hospital, increasing the efficiency of medical ninjas several times over!"

"What efficiency and stuff..." Obito Uchiha didn't understand, and he wasn't familiar with Fugaku, but he still stubbornly said, "Our Fugaku-nii-san has taken on so many, many requests!"

"cut--"

Walking behind, the 5-year-old genius Kakashi rolled his eyes with disdain, thinking that his peers were really childish, and reached out to grab the big hand next to him.

"Father, weren't you on a mission?"

"Hmm, take a couple of days off." The renowned Konoha White Fang, Sakumo Hatake, looked at his son with a gentle gaze: "How are you doing, Kakashi? How are you adjusting to life at the Ninja Academy?"

"They're alright." Kakashi shook his head slightly. "They're just little kids."

White Fang laughed: "Kakashi, sometimes you should be a little more lively like your peers."

"Forget it, am I supposed to be like those two idiots and chime in with something like 'My father is the best, right?' Even though that's a fact, arguing with idiots would just make me the idiot," Kakashi said, pursing his lips.

"Hahaha." White Fang laughed, "You can't say that, Kakashi. Senju Intent and Uchiha Fugaku are representatives of the younger generation of the Senju and Uchiha clans, and they are very likely to become the next clan leaders of the two clans. They are both very powerful ninjas with unlimited potential in the future."

Kakashi paused for a moment, then raised his head with some curiosity and asked, "I do hear these two names often. Father, who do you think is stronger?"

"Them..." White Fang said, "There are more than just those two among the younger generation. The Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Inuzuka, and Aburame, these young ninja clans have all become Jonin in the past two years, and they are all very excellent ninjas."

I can't predict who will be more powerful in the future, but judging from the current situation, I have higher hopes for a boy named 'Minato Namikaze'.

"Minato Namikaze?" Kakashi heard the name for the first time and was about to ask again when a hearty laugh suddenly came from not far behind him.

"Really? There's a kid you think so highly of, Sakumo. I have to go and see for myself."

White Fang turned around and smiled, "You're finally back, Jiraiya."

……

The most outstanding among the younger generation?

Minato himself did not think so.

In a wooded area on the west side of Konoha, Minato stared seriously at Guan Yi across from him, while Kushina stood nervously on the other side.

Over the course of more than a year, as Minato Namikaze grew more familiar with Senju Ichigo, he gradually discovered that this 'genius medical ninja' was far more complex than everyone thought.

After Minato first tried to ask Guan Yi for guidance on his training difficulties and received Guan Yi's instruction, he discovered that in addition to medical ninjutsu, Guan Yi also possessed unfathomable combat abilities.

Even though he had recently become a Jonin like Guan Yi, he still didn't feel that he had become a ninja on par with Guan Yi.

Today, he came to Guan Yi for advice again because he had developed a new technique.

After a brief preparation, Minato said in a calm voice, "Senior Senju Ichi, please give me your guidance."

"Come on, Minato."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato Namikaze's figure transformed into a golden afterimage, breaking through the light and shadow of the setting sun and rushing to Guan Yi's front.

Minato hasn't mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique yet, but his skill in Body Flicker Technique is at least worthy of being called the Yellow Flash.

Compared to an ordinary Jonin, his movement speed is more than three times faster; ordinary people can't even track his movements. But Guan Yi is no ordinary person. Just as the kunai in Minato's hand was about to pierce his chest, he slightly tilted his body and raised his hand to grab Minato's wrist with a thud.

"The intention to launch a feint attack is somewhat obvious."

*Thud*—A kick sent Minato's body snapping into two pieces, a pre-prepared substitution jutsu allowing Minato to briefly escape Guan Yi's sight.

Swish swish.

Several shadows flashed rapidly among the distant trees, moving at high speed around Guan Yi. In a moment of concealment, two kunai were thrown at him.

Their flight trajectories were extremely precise. While attacking, they blocked Guan Yi's paths to dodge backward and to the left, so Guan Yi followed their instructions and dodged to the right.

Sure enough, Minato, lowering his center of gravity, charged towards Guan Yi from behind at an even faster speed, his right hand clenching into a claw at his side.

hum-

Amidst the piercing whistling sound of the air, Minato condensed a ball of spinning chakra in his palm. The pale blue energy vortex emitted a low buzzing sound, causing the air to tremble slightly!

"Spiral pills!"

Kushina clenched her fist nervously beside her.

This is it!

She knew better than anyone how much effort Minato had put into this new technique. Countless nights of chakra manipulation practice, countless adjustments to the rotation speed and density, finally condensed the scattered chakra into this destructive and penetrating power, developing this unique A-rank ninjutsu, the Rasengan, that Minato possessed.

Although I don't think this trick alone can hurt the teacher, it should at least make the teacher less relaxed and at ease!

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is harsh.

The Rasengan that was aimed at Guan Yi seemed no different from an ordinary kunai. Guan Yi simply turned to the side and easily grabbed Minato's wrist as if he had eyes in the back of his head. Then, with a pull, he sent the Rasengan crashing to the ground.

Boom—

Amid the explosion, smoke and dust billowed, and a small crater was created in the flat, solid ground.

"Not bad."

Hearing Guan Yi's praise, the traitor Kushina was somewhat disappointed. Was it still not good enough? Just then, she suddenly saw Minato, whose wrist Guan Yi had grabbed, turn into white smoke with a bang.

Huh? Shadow clones? When did that happen?
As an observer, she hadn't even noticed when Minato used Shadow Clone Jutsu, and if that was also a feint, then...

The next instant, Kushina's eyes widened in surprise. Hey, Minato, aren't you going a bit too far? Don't actually hurt our teacher!
buzzing-

The Rasengan's whistling sound was several times louder than before. The instant the shadow clone disappeared, the three Minatos simultaneously leaped onto Guan Yi's head as he bent over, each slamming a Rasengan down on him!
Guan Yi raised an eyebrow.

As expected of Minato Namikaze, this double feint attack tactic wasn't particularly special or outstanding, but his decisive judgment was truly remarkable.

With his current chakra reserves, using multiple shadow clones and Rasengans simultaneously would be extremely taxing on him.

But Minato, realizing that there would be no point in not doing so, did it without hesitation. This is something most people would never do in their entire lives.

So……

Faced with the 'Spiral Chain Ball', Guan Yi did not get up to defend, nor did he form a substitution hand seal. He simply clenched his left fist and slammed it into the ground!

Boom—!!

A terrifying explosion echoed, and the ground within a radius of tens of meters shattered!
Kushina's initial worry instantly shifted to something else; she stared wide-eyed, her facial muscles twitching as she watched the billowing dust and flying stones.

bang bang—

Before he could unleash the Rasengan, the two Minato shadow clones were scattered by the flying rocks, and Minato's main body also hurriedly canceled the Rasengan, switched to a defensive stance, and was sent flying.

In the distance, large trees fell one after another, and the surrounding terrain was devastated in an instant.

"...Teacher! Didn't you go a little too far?! Minato—"
