This puppeteer is a bit... well...

Chapter 46 You say stop, and you just stop?

As the saying goes, pick the softest persimmon to squeeze...

Among the group from Konoha, Minato is a top-tier Kage-level ninja, while Shiki and Choza are elite Jonin who have experienced countless battles. Each of them is the kind of person who could easily beat a Centipede without the Dragon Vein.

As for Naruto... although Naruto at this time was not as strong as he would become later, he was still at the level of a regular Jonin in his normal state.

If things get out of hand, the background music will start, and everyone will have to make way.

Kakashi is the weakest.

At only 10 years old, he was merely a Chunin, and had been separated from his comrades, making him the perfect target for a breakthrough.

Ryuji would naturally target him.

Kakashi was caught off guard by Ryuji's armored armor and was sent flying by a slap.

The force was so great that his facial bones cracked, he lost consciousness, and fell from a height of hundreds of meters.

"Go to hell!"

Ryuji raised his palm, aimed it at the falling figure, and gathered chakra in his palm.

"call out!"

A yellow figure flashed, and Minato appeared beside Kakashi, hugged him, and then disappeared back to the ground.

—The Flying Thunder God Technique.

By creating a talisman mark using chakra, the caster can jump directly to the mark.

After losing once, Minato learned his lesson and left a mark on his companions in advance to prevent a repeat of Shiki's situation.

Seeing that the target had been rescued, Long Er simply changed his target and placed his palms facing the ground.

Chakra gathered in his palm and then erupted. A surging wave of flames descended from the sky, turning the heavens red.

Zhiwei raised his hands, and countless insects vibrated their wings, forming a black canopy in the air.

"Boom!"

The flames struck the swarm of insects, creating ripples like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

The swarm of insects scattered, burning sparks falling like rain, and the air was filled with the smell of burning insects.

[Super Multiply Technique!]

Dingza swallowed the black pill, his body swelled into a ten-meter-tall giant, then rushed to the center of the street, picked up a stone pillar and threw it into the sky.

Undeterred, Long Er unleashed his full power with his thrusters and swooped down.

"Bang!"

The stone pillar shattered in mid-air, and Long Er, with undiminished momentum, hurtled straight towards the several people on the ground.

Target: Yu Nuzhiwei.

It wasn't that he disliked Zhiwei, but among everyone present, he posed the greatest threat to him, followed by Ding Zuo.

Although Minato is strong, he has too few attack methods and cannot break through the "armor" defense, so he is almost no threat.

But Zhiwei is different from Dingzuo.

The insects of the Aburame clan are so small that they can enter through gaps in their armor to attack.

Choza's Multiplication Technique is also extremely destructive.

As for Naruto... his Rasengan shuriken is quite threatening, but since he hasn't yet mastered Sage Mode, he can't throw it.

Given the nature of "A", no, even Ryuji himself couldn't possibly be hit by him.

Therefore, the best option is to take out Zhiwei first, and then Dingzuo.

But Shiki wasn't the 10-year-old Kakashi, and Ryuji's attack wasn't a sneak attack either. He reacted in time and fled.

"boom!"

Like a meteorite hitting the ground, the moment Ryuji made contact with the earth, the whole world seemed to freeze in that instant.

next second.

The violent shockwave plowed the earth, sweeping outwards from the point of impact and blowing everything in its path away.

Naruto was a little slow to react and was blown away, crashing into the wall of a tall tower. Choji was also blown backward and then fell down in a sorry state, rolling around continuously.

Zhiwei flew over a hundred meters away, like a kite with a broken string. Only Minato managed to escape in time using the Flying Thunder God Technique and was unharmed.

The entire earth shook as if an earthquake had struck, and it didn't stop until an unknown period of time.

The Konoha members, enduring their injuries, stood up and scattered around, their expressions tense as they stared at the spot where Ryuji had fallen... The area was shrouded in dust, obscuring the view inside.

But that's precisely what makes it so nerve-wracking.

Where is he?

What is his current situation?

Is he preparing some kind of ninjutsu for a ranged attack, or is he preparing for another close-quarters assault?

"call out!"

A high-explosive shell pierced through the smoke and dust, flying towards Dingzuo.

Everyone was on edge and reacted immediately.

Ding Zuo leaped high into the air, dodging the explosive bullet, and simultaneously slashed down in the direction the bullet was launched with the pheasant sword that had also grown larger.

The rest of the people rushed there in time, ready to provide support at any time.

The immense weaponry and power unleashed a hurricane, first dispersing the smoke and dust... The crater, tens of meters in diameter, was now completely empty.

The enemy isn't there.

Ding Zuo's eyes widened. The slash was irreversible, and the massive blade struck the deep pit, creating huge cracks.

The flying debris and shockwaves were incredibly powerful.

But Long Er appeared in front of Zhiwei, his right fist already clenched and aimed at him—this was a feint, a sneak attack.

Zhiwei's attention was drawn to the explosive grenade; even when he was on guard, he was wary of the location where the grenade was launched.

At this moment, Long Er rushed in front of him and he only just reacted. It was too late to dodge.

He had no choice but to raise his hands to block the enemy's fists.

"Bang!"

Amidst the sounds of bones shattering, Zhiwei was sprayed with blood as he was sent flying like a cannonball.

Minato was a step too slow and jumped over, so he had to rescue his companion who was flying in the air to prevent him from crashing into the building and suffering secondary damage.

Even so, Zhiwei fell into a coma.

Minato teleported with Shiki to a distant tower, where they sat side-by-side, and then quickly examined Shiki's body.

He suffered broken arms, several fractured sternums, and severe internal organ damage from the impact; he will die soon.

Minato quickly used a medical first aid kit to provide emergency treatment, barely managing to keep him alive.

"No, we can't stop him at all."

After a moment of contemplation, Minato leaped back to the battlefield.

Choza's massive body crashed to the side of the plaza, and Naruto used Shadow Clone Jutsu to engage the enemy.

But when Long Er throws a punch, the force of the punch can wipe out a whole group, making the human wave tactic completely ineffective.

"stop!"

"Watergate shouted loudly."

Naruto stopped and turned to look this way.

Ryuji didn't stop. He punched and shattered several shadow clones, then, with undiminished force, sent Naruto's real body flying.

"You think you can just attack whenever you want, and stop whenever you want?" Ryuji stopped and turned to look at Minato with a cold smile. "I have the upper hand now. Whether I stop or not is up to me."

After saying that, he took a step and walked towards Naruto.

"I'm not afraid of you, you bastard!"

Undeterred, Naruto wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, pushed himself up, and burst forth with orange chakra, creating an invisible wind that blew in all directions.

Minato, who was preparing to rescue the person, was stunned.

If we can use the power of the Nine-Tails, we might be able to win.

However, if Naruto is allowed to run wild, it's hard to say what the future will hold.

It's possible that the world could be destroyed.

"Is this all the chakra you have? You're really looking down on me!"

As Minato struggled with his inner turmoil, the battle resumed.

Ryuji and Naruto rushed toward each other at inhuman speed, raising their fists to strike one another.

Some people don't understand why spacetime correction is necessary, so let me explain: it's for the sake of logical consistency.

Even if the protagonist encountered Naruto and Minato from the beginning, it would be the same. As long as the protagonist eventually obtains the Dragon Vein, it's impossible for Minato to seal it. This would prevent the protagonist and Naruto from time-traveling, making the story inconsistency untenable. It's that simple; it's not about the plot being unchangeable.

It's fine to offer suggestions, but please be polite and don't threaten me in the book reviews if I don't write much.

I do care a lot about readers' opinions when I write books, but I will not revise my outline for readers' opinions (authors who do this usually end up cutting their books).

No one can write a novel that pleases all readers. Even Lord of Mysteries has its share of people who find it boring, let alone a nobody like me who isn't even worthy of shining the shoes of the big shots.

The water gate wasn't prepared for this moment to kill.

The reason for the change is that the protagonist hesitated about whether to kill, which did not fit my idea of ​​the protagonist being decisive and ruthless, so I changed it to him taking action directly.

Even if that part isn't changed, the next chapter will still feature Centipede coming to the rescue.

I don't understand why some people think the plot can't be changed. The plot has already been changed a lot by now.

If you really don't like it, please leave quietly; if you do like it, just support it silently.

Don't swear or argue.
