Chapter 327 Another Clash with Minato

"It's done!"

At the top of the tower, blue-purple ionized chakra coiled around Li Yao like lightning.

The moment the antenna converter transformed the dragon vein chakra into time-reset plasma chakra, Li Yao copied it.

The reason it was so fast is largely thanks to Li Yao's fact that he had figured out most of the nature and changes of the dragon vein chakra over the past two years.

Although he still couldn't replicate the complete Dragon Vein Chakra, replicating the plasma Dragon Vein Chakra, which only had the characteristic of time reset, was easy for Li Yao.

In fact, the nature and changes of the Dragon Vein Chakra have been largely understood. Even if the complete Dragon Vein Chakra cannot be replicated, it is more than enough for Li Yao to develop some spacetime ninjutsu chakra.

However, compared to directly copying the space-time abilities obtained from the Dragon Vein Chakra, developing and researching them yourself would undoubtedly be much slower.

After all, Li Yao never thought he had much talent for developing ninjutsu.

Hiss... In an instant, countless bloody marks appeared on Li Yao's body. He used Wind Release to slash himself, leaving countless wounds.

It's sizzling!

Time-reset ionized chakra flickered across his body.

The countless wounds on his body that were still bleeding a moment ago were instantly healed.

This kind of complete recovery is similar to super-fast regeneration, but it's not the kind where time goes backward, blood returns to the body, or wounds heal backward.

Instead, the body is directly reset, or rather, the save file is reloaded to the moment before the injury.

The amount of chakra in his body also returned to the amount of chakra he had at that moment.

This... is a flaw that isn't really a flaw.

With a thought, Li Yao reset his body with time-reset ionized chakra, but this time he reset it to the peak of his chakra.

In this way, the chakra will be at its maximum, and then you just need to reset time to the point where the chakra is at its maximum.

"Who are you?"

Minato instantly appeared on one side of the tower's top, staring warily at Li Yao across the antenna converter.

If this man hadn't emitted several waves of chakra in succession, he wouldn't have even realized that Loulan had such a powerful figure.

Even now that he was standing in front of this man, he still couldn't sense a single trace of chakra in the man's body, as if he were facing a human statue.

This method of concealing one's chakra was something Minato had never heard of before.

And he just noticed that.

The dragon vein chakra in this man's body was not drawn from the device in front of him that converts dragon vein chakra, but rather condensed within his own body.

Minato knew exactly what this meant.

No one has ever been known to be able to condense the power of a dragon vein.

no doubt!

Very strong!

The man in front of me is very strong!

In that instant, Minato felt a strong sensation, like a heavy hammer pounding on his heart, reminding him that this man was very strong, and that he might die if he wasn't careful.

At this moment, Li Yao was not surprised by Shui Men's arrival. With his current perception ability, he could sense all living beings with souls within a radius of tens of kilometers around Loulan.

Watergate is no exception.

"It's been a long time, Minato-kun."

Li Yao wore a gentle smile, a smile that Minato found strangely familiar, because it was the smile he wore when he was known as Little Sun, a smile full of sunshine.

However, Li Yao's sunny smile seemed a bit forced.

But it still left Minato momentarily bewildered.

Who are you?

You smiled at me so warmly, do we know each other?

Completely bewildered, Minato instinctively asked, "Who exactly are you?"

call out!

Li Yao instantly appeared in front of Minato and punched him in the stomach.

"So fast!"

Minato's expression changed, shocked by the unprecedented speed of the opponent. Among the enemies he had encountered, this unknown man was the fastest, even he himself was impressed.

However... the Flying Thunder God Technique!

call out!

Just as Li Yao's fist was about to hit Minato, Minato, with his abnormally fast reflexes, used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to Naruto's side, who was carrying his Flying Thunder God kunai.

"This guy's reaction speed is as unbelievably fast as ever!"

Li Yao stopped, looked at the empty air in front of him, and shook his head in amazement.

He managed to distract Minato for a moment with his words, yet even with his speed, he still couldn't touch him.

That's an insane reaction!

People say Minato is fast, thinking they're referring to the speed of his Flying Thunder God Technique.

But what truly made Minato fast was his abnormally fast neural reaction speed, which was like slowing down time thousands or tens of thousands of times.

Only someone with such abnormally fast reflexes could accomplish the feat described in the original work: throwing Flying Thunder God kunai at dozens of Iwagakure ninjas, then instantly teleporting dozens of times using the Flying Thunder God technique and killing dozens of Iwagakure ninjas.

The Flying Thunder God Technique's instantaneous movement, combined with Minato's terrifyingly fast reflexes, created the fastest speed in the ninja world.

Many enemies who faced Minato didn't even know when they were killed.

This is the Yellow Flash of Konoha, a ninja with abnormally fast reflexes.

Li Yao originally thought that after multiple upgrades, his nerve reaction speed was no weaker than Minato's, but now it seems that he may still be a little lacking.

"In this way, if we want to take down Minato, we can't show him abilities that he's too afraid of, then we can lure him into attacking us and making physical contact with him, and then we can take the opportunity to seal him away."

With this in mind, Li Yao didn't rush to find Shuimen.

Below, Centipede, controlling a giant scorpion puppet, had already caught up to the central square and was manipulating several chakra threads to shoot towards Queen Sara of Loulan.

"Let's solve the problem of the dragon vein first."

Even though there was only one month left, Li Yao wanted to make the most of it to record as many changes in the nature of the dragon vein chakra as possible.

The key is to get rid of the centipede. Although this guy can't seal the dragon vein, he has studied the dragon vein for many years and knows how to make the dragon vein go berserk and destroy itself in advance.

Teng!

Li Yao stretched out his hand and conjured a long sword made of ink and water, severing the antenna that converted the dragon vein chakra that reset time. Without this, Baizu could no longer use the ability to reset time.

Then Li Yao jumped down and casually flicked his hand in mid-air, a sharp ink-like blade slicing through the chakra threads of the centipede, saving Queen Sara of Loulan who was bound by the chakra threads.

Naruto, who was rushing over, paused and then came to Sara's side to ask if she was injured.

"I'm fine..."

Sarah shook her head, looking at the back of the man who had landed in front of her from the air, her face full of doubt.

"Is he one of your comrades, Naruto?" Sara asked Naruto, who was standing beside her.

Before Naruto could even speak, Minato, who had followed, instantly appeared beside them, carrying them one in each arm and retreating thirty meters away.

"He's not one of ours!" Minato said gravely.

"But we're not enemies either." Li Yao turned around and smiled, saying, "My goal is also to stop Centipede, so we're not actually enemies."

Minato remained noncommittal, while Naruto looked at Li Yao and asked疑惑地问道, "Then who are you?"

Naruto looked at Li Yao, then at the older brother who made him feel close to him, and for a moment he was a little confused about what was going on.
