Naruto: The Tavern Speech Begins to Make the Land of Rain Great

The two quickly devised a plan.

The Hidden Cloud Village has three ninjas, while Minato Namikaze and Yahiko only have two.

Only by turning the battle into a two-on-two fight can one have a relatively better chance of winning.

Therefore, they must first eliminate one of the opponents.

Based on the actions of this group, the ninja at the front is clearly the Jonin.

Well then, let's deal with the ninja at the back of the team first.

Just do it.

The two quickly hid in the nearby forest and headed towards Kushina's direction.

"Achoo!"

The last Cloud Village ninja sneezed.

"This awful weather! It's unbearably hot during the day and freezing cold at night."

Even with this kind of weather, it's still much better than Kumogakure.

Compared to the cold winters and summers, cold mornings and evenings, and high altitude of Kumogakure, Konoha is like the place where the Sage lives.

I really don't know if I'll ever have the chance to settle down in Konoha.

Of course, this refers to settling in Konoha as a Cloud Village ninja.

Thinking of this, the last Chunin yawned again.

"It's another five minutes to the border."

"Um."

Takai glanced at his surroundings and nodded.

Once they reach the border, they will be completely safe.

Lord Ai specially arranged for a rendezvous at the border to ensure their safety.

Or rather, it's about Kushina's safety.

Takai glanced again at Kushina, who looked bewildered behind him.

Hopefully, this guy can really control the Eight-Tails.

Kushina's condition was clearly not good.

Walking for four hours straight left her completely exhausted.

But compared to physical exhaustion, she suffered more mental breakdown.

It was a kind of confusion, not knowing where to go or what to do.

It is also a kind of despair deeply etched in one's heart.

Her red hair did not bring her any hope.

It will only bring disaster.

She overheard the conversation between the Cloud Village ninja.

It's only a five-minute drive to the border.

The last glimmer of hope was completely extinguished.

She walked along the road mechanically, like a walking corpse.

But just then, a faint sound reached her ears.

She looked back and saw two figures rushing towards the Cloud Village ninja who had been guarding her at the end.

The Cloud Village ninja was yawning, completely unaware of any danger.

This is an opportunity!

Minato Namikaze suddenly thrust out the kunai in his hand.

"Whoosh!"

The kunai made a whooshing sound as it cut through the air.

The target was the temple of the Cloud Village ninja.

Echoing Minato Namikaze's attack was Yahiko's offensive from the left flank.

The same kunai, the same sharpness.

This speed...

His performance far surpassed that of a typical genin.

Kushina Uzumaki's still numb face twitched slightly.

hope.

She saw hope.

The two kunai approached the Cloud Village ninja at an extremely fast speed, almost simultaneously.

Three meters, two meters, one meter...

Until it reached the temple of the Cloud Village ninja.

Did you make it?

No, kunai…

stopped.

A pair of large hands simultaneously pressed down on the wrists of Minato Namikaze and Yahiko as they swung their kunai.

The next second, the two figures flew out.

"hateful."

A trickle of blood flowed from Minato Namikaze's mouth as he looked at the unharmed Cloud Village ninja and Yahiko beside him.

"Are you alright?"

Compared to Minato Namikaze, Yahiko was much better.

He simply staggered to his feet, without even spitting out any blood.

This is probably thanks to the training of Watanabe Tetsu and Rin.

"It's alright, it's just that this is a bit of a problem."

Yahiko gripped his kunai tightly and looked warily at the three Cloud Village ninja.

"I must say, you guys are pretty good."

Takai crossed his arms and raised his head.

"If I hadn't intervened, he would probably be dead by now."

He glanced at the terrified Chunin behind him, then said calmly.

"What a waste, he almost got killed by two kids."

Takai turned his gaze back to Minato and Namikaze.

"Now that you've found this place, perhaps Konoha's reinforcements will arrive soon."

A sinister smile spread across his face.

"Then I will kill you all within a minute."

After saying that, his body vanished instantly.

The next moment, he appeared in front of Minato Namikaze.

So fast!

One punch.

However, Minato Namikaze's reaction time was not slow either. He twisted his body to the limit and barely dodged the attack.

But Takai clearly wasn't going to let him off the hook, and delivered another whip kick to Minato Namikaze.

Jonin's taijutsu is far superior to Chunin's.

Takai is also much larger than Minato Namikaze.

This kind of suppression was simply too much for Minato Namikaze to handle.

Even if you manage to dodge two or three attacks in a row, you're bound to make a mistake under continuous attacks.

It can be said that even in terms of physical attacks, Minato Namikaze gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

Yahiko is also having a tough time.

Facing two Chunin, Yahiko had no room to maneuver.

He gathered his chakra.

"Water Release: Water Chaos Waves!"

With a low murmur, drops of water condensed on the ground.

And each drop of water, together, forms a wave.

The waves rose two or three meters high and surged toward the two Cloud Village Chunin.

But how could the Hidden Cloud Ninjas be vegetarians?

They quickly retaliated with ninjutsu.

"Lightning Release: Earth Walk!"

"Lightning Release: Lightning Ball!"

After a series of ninjutsu exchanges, Yahiko's chakra was rapidly depleting.

Yahiko, whose strength was already close to that of a Chunin, found it difficult to hold back when facing the combined attack of two Chunin.

However, the unreserved use of chakra will hasten Yahiko's defeat.

...

"Captain, should we make a move?"

One of the secret agents looked at the squad leader next to him and asked.

"No, let me think about it again."

To be honest, she quite admired the two boys in front of her.

He possessed such abilities at the age of around ten.

One can hold his own against a Jonin in taijutsu, while the other can contend with two Chunin in ninjutsu.

Although their defeat was already a foregone conclusion.

But even this level is surprising enough.

Perhaps if we give them some time, they can become stronger?

After all, things haven't reached a point of despair yet, have they?

With Takai's final kick, Minato Namikaze was knocked to the ground.

His body was covered in bruises, but he would continue to fight.

As long as he is not killed, he will get up again and again and fight again.

His way of enduring is to persevere to the end.

He endured the pain, slowly stood up, and his sharp eyes swept over Takai.

Left hand, vulnerability.

Minato Namikaze swiftly dodged, causing Takai to miss his target.

Then, with a slight flick of his wrist, blood spurted from Takai's arm.

Takai looked at the scratches on his arm; his face showed no anger, only excitement.

"You're a genius, let me see where your bottleneck lies."

If Takai's previous attack was a probe, then this attack is an all-out effort.

A bolt of lightning struck Takai.

Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

In this mode, his speed and strength will be greatly enhanced.

Takai took a slow breath.

Then, he moved.

The next second, Minato Namikaze felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

He flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing into three trees before coming to a stop.

"Minato Namikaze!"

Kushina also witnessed this scene.

She could easily tell that Minato Namikaze and Yahiko had come to rescue her.

But now, Minato Namikaze has been sent flying by Takai's punch, and his fate is unknown.

Yahiko, standing to the side, was also being suppressed to the point of being unable to breathe.

What if they don't come after us?

Perhaps they will survive.

A sense of guilt arose in Kushina's heart.

At that moment, she desperately wished she hadn't plucked those individual hairs, so the other person wouldn't notice her signal.

It must have been her selfishness that ruined them.

"Let them go! I'll go with you!"

Kushina roared, but Takai clearly didn't care about her shouts.

Takai walked a few steps to Yahiko, who was panting heavily and could barely stand.

He looked at Yahiko, who was so composed that he even smiled, his expression revealing an indomitable spirit.

He slowly took out a kunai.

"It's your turn."

Then, he thrust out a knife.

"No!"

As Kushina watched the kunai gradually pierce Yahiko, the resentment and despair in her heart completely transformed into rage.

She felt a forbidden power being unleashed within her.

Powerful and ferocious.

But just as she was continuously responding to that forbidden power,

A cold voice rang out from not far away.

"Who dares to touch my disciple?"
