Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Chapter 128 Two People, Different 'Pressures' (Second Update)

To be honest, Inuzuka Tsurugi's attacks are unlikely to pose a threat to Yubi.

The person he truly cared about wasn't Inuya Tsurugi.

It was always Minato Namikaze!

He had been observing Minato's movements—the kunai shot at him was timed perfectly, and he had to retaliate.

However, since no one can move first, the thrower's movement should logically be a beat slower.

However—Minato was able to arrive first despite being behind, seemingly dodging his landing point in advance.

This is not the Flying Thunder God technique; it is simply a plan to carry out an assassination at supersonic speed by creating a fleeting opportunity through the most basic attack.

A kind of teleportation technique.

"It was all done in the blink of an eye when I used my blood to knock away the kunai—" Yubi tensed up as a thought flashed through her mind.

Even if the kunai posed little threat to him, it would still instinctively attract his attention briefly.

Once inside the forest, it was Inuzuka Tsurugi who launched the first attack.

In a very short time, Shuimen had observed the entire forest environment, and his mind had deconstructed the spatial structure of the entire battlefield—

His own dodging movements and routes were simulated in advance by him in the dimension of spatial perception, and a more efficient route was optimized, so that his actions seemed to reach the destination one step faster than his own.

This is a simple and unpretentious way of fighting—it maximizes combat efficiency!

It's not some powerful ninjutsu or escape technique—the purpose of everything is simply to find the enemy's weakness.

Even if the enemy has no weaknesses, you must use your abilities to create weaknesses for them.

That's a bit scary.

To achieve this "back to basics" effect, the requirements for personal ability and attributes are extremely stringent—because even the slightest mistake or inadequate execution will prevent one from finding that opportunity that others cannot see.

Yubi's brain also completed data analysis on Minato Namikaze, who appeared behind him.

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, the water gate, raised with a kunai, pierced Yubi's heart from behind.

But the sensation in his hand and the sound he heard indicated that the attack had failed to cause any effective damage.

Minato took a closer look and saw that the enemy's back was covered with a layer of blood-red crystals, like a shield, blocking the kunai from piercing him.

Minato immediately raised his hand, about to touch Yubi's body.

However, with a whoosh...

A barely perceptible gust of wind swept by, and Minato sensed the danger, immediately jumping away.

A sharp thread shaved off a few strands of his hair.

boom!

At that moment, the Fang Over Fang launched by Inuzuka Tsurugi above finally struck down, slamming into the ground where Yubi was standing.

A large cloud of mud was kicked up.

However, when she jumped out of the pit, panting, she found that her target was already standing not far away, looking calm.

Her attack missed.

Yubi and Scorpion stood to one side.

Minato and the others stood opposite.

The situation on the field is two against six.

Behind Scorpion, dozens of puppets dressed in red robes were floating in mid-air. Some of these puppets were familiar faces to Yubi.

He was a former high-ranking official of Sunagakure.

Unlike when it was still a human body, the chakra threads that now guide and control the puppet no longer originate from Sasori's fingers, but rather—shoot out from his modified body.

This scene also made Minato, Shikaku, and others change color.

The extent of their control over these puppets, and the skill in manipulating them, was unprecedented.

"It's them—"

When Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Ino saw Yubi and Sasori's faces clearly, their tone immediately changed.

Shikaku said to his companions with great seriousness, "Be careful, they are—the Blood Healer Yubi and Sasori of the Red Sand from Sunagakure!"

The famous twin stars of Sunagakure.

They were the murderers who killed their Konoha Jonin many years ago.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the group changed drastically.

"It seems that you two were indeed among the people Konoha sent to pursue us."

Upon hearing this, Yubi raised the corners of her mouth and stared at Shikaku, who looked as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

"Now, this is a war that your Sunagakure village started—it's time to settle the score for the death of Senior Otani back then," Shikaku said in a deep voice.

"Can you do it?"

Yubi stared into Shikaku's eyes, then suddenly lowered her voice and asked, word by word.

"————"

Upon hearing this, Shika swallowed hard.

"These two—are they the cowardly rats who slunk away in fear back then?"

Scorpion chimed in with a sarcastic remark from the side.

"That's right."

Yubi responded with amusement.

Then, Minato gave Inoichi and Shikaku a look.

Without warning, they launched another surprise attack in conjunction with the dog's claws.

The other two Konoha Jonin also instantly formed hand seals and aimed at Sasori.

"Fire Release: Great Flame Technique!"

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet!"

Both of them spewed flames from their mouths at the same time, but the forms and changes of their fire-style techniques were different.

Ok?

Upon seeing this, Yubi immediately recognized the identities of the two people.

A member of the Sarutobi clan from Konoha.

"Earth escape earth flow wall."

Yubi instantly formed a hand seal and slammed his hands on the ground, causing a huge stone wall to rise from the ground and block part of the spreading fire.

Of course, his Earth Release skills were nowhere near the full power of the two Konoha Jonin; Yubi was simply buying himself and Sasori some time.

He didn't want to waste too much chakra.

He and the scorpion dodged and jumped away again.

Their battle plan was quite clear.

In their view, they seemed to pose a greater threat than the scorpion.

Therefore, the two Jonin of the Sarutobi clan rushed directly towards Sasori, while the remaining four Konoha's new generation targeted Yubi.

Their intention was to separate the two men on the battlefield, prevent them from joining forces, and force them to fight alone.

Minato lunged forward again, and Inuzuka Tsuru used a similar technique called Fang Twist Fang. This high-speed rotation turned the man and the dog into two rolling saw teeth, and the effect on the enemy was no longer a simple impact, but also included a cutting effect.

While in the air, Yubi activated Blood Escape right in front of the two of them.

Crimson scales leap and the Winged King!

This instantly boosted his physical attributes, especially the explosive power and speed enhanced by the Winged King's blessing—when the fog lifted, Yubi turned the tide, no longer defending or dodging, but instead—taking the initiative to attack!

His speed made it impossible for Inuyasha's ninjutsu to catch up.

Yubi was like a streak of blood-red light darting through the forests and mountains—too fast for the naked eye to catch.

Even Minato was forced to use the Flying Thunder God Technique in order to restrain him!

Because if he didn't use the Flying Thunder God Technique, relying solely on his simple reactions and basic Body Flicker Technique, Minato realized that even he couldn't keep up with Yubi's speed.

Bang bang bang!

The following scene became a one-man show between Yubi and Minato Namikaze.

Yubi moved around the arena with ghostly speed, while Minato disappeared into thin air time and time again, only to attack and close in again and again.

The clashes between the two were brief, brief exchanges that quickly ended before they resumed their fierce battle.

"Completely unable to react—"

Yubi's heart skipped a beat.

This is no longer about speed.

The Flying Thunder God Technique, a space-time ninjutsu, has exceeded the scope of what can be predicted.

It is even more impossible to perceive or capture.

No matter how fast you go, it won't help if you can't determine the location of the target.

Because—I can't keep up with the other person's movements.

This prevented him from using some of his Blood Release techniques, as they were ineffective and a waste of chakra.

Therefore, the only thing Yubi can do right now is to keep moving, forcing Minato to actively lock on and get close to him with each attack—he knows that spatial transfer like the Flying Thunder God Technique consumes a lot of chakra.

Yubi defended against Minato's attacks by using the "blood armor" attached to his body. His solidified blood almost completely enveloped his body, making it impossible for Minato to inflict any effective damage with each attack.

But the opponent continued to attack relentlessly, not because they were stupid, but because they knew they were not fighting alone. By constantly putting pressure on themselves, they were creating opportunities for their comrades to attack!

On the other side, Minato was also feeling immense pressure.

His match against Yubi was very difficult for him.

There's a very discordant and eerie feeling about it.

Awkward—

This was a situation he had never experienced with any other enemy.

After a brief moment of fighting, Minato realized something—though he found it absurd, it couldn't be wrong.

That is—this Blood Doctor Yubi has an extremely thorough understanding of his methods and fighting style!

Even when facing his attacks—in some designs that intentionally circumvent the "Flying Thunder God Technique".

This included confirming the landing point and trajectory of his marked kunai, as well as the crimson shell that instantly disintegrated, destroyed his spell, and then reformed after he placed the mark on it.

The constant high-speed movement further complicates his spatial locking and perception, increasing the difficulty.

All of these factors made the fight extremely painful for Minato.

There's even a feeling—like being played by the other party.
