I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 170 I will go into battle in Gundam form! (Fourth update, 1.4 words, please vote!)

Minato Namikaze prided himself on being a ninja who had seen many storms.

The legendary Sannin of Konoha, the A-B duo from Kumogakure, the Tsuchikage and Jinchuriki from Iwagakure...

Minato Namikaze has truly witnessed a great many of the strongest ninjas in the world along his journey.

Even his fiancée, Kushina Uzumaki, is a hidden master.

Once the nine tails are released, do whatever you want!

however.

If the many water-style ninjutsu that Uchiha Kagami displayed in the battle, including the final super water tornado that connected heaven and earth, were still within Minato Namikaze's comprehension...

So, at this moment, this chakra giant is freely flying in mid-air...

What on earth happened?!

"Such powerful Yin Release chakra, and it actually stabilized like that..."

Minato Namikaze was somewhat numb.

He suddenly felt that he couldn't understand the times anymore.

Isn't ninja combat all about probing and deceiving each other, gathering intelligence and exploiting weaknesses to launch a fatal blow?

Even if a super-large creature occasionally appears, its existence has little to do with the ninjas themselves; they are mostly tailed beasts or large summoning beasts.

As a result, Uchiha Kagami pulled out a colossal giant...

It could even be a super giant with wings that can fly...

According to Minato Namikaze's estimation, the bright yellow giant that Kagami Uchiha released at this moment was at least ten meters tall.

If a humanoid creature of this caliber were to appear in actual ninja combat, it would essentially signal the end of the era for "traditional ninjas".

At least in Master Men's own perception, he felt he couldn't do anything about the other party.

Even without actually testing the defensive strength of the special "Giant Ninjutsu" that Uchiha Kagami is using at this moment.

However, the strongest single-target attack that Minato Namikaze can currently unleash is actually "Sage Art: Goemon," a combination of fire, wind, and oil techniques used in his Sage Mode in conjunction with the Sages Fukasaku and Shima of Mount Myōboku.

However, the refinement and condensation of Sage Chakra requires maintaining a static state for a very long time.

At the same time, Minato Namikaze's own chakra reserves were limited, which prevented him from using Sage Chakra for extended periods.

For Minato Namikaze, "Sage Art: Goemon" is basically just a high-power Sage Art that requires a long period of stillness, charging up, and then being used once.

The attack has been effective.

However, its practical value is almost zero.

This is why Minato Namikaze rarely uses Sage Mode in actual combat.

He was not very good at cultivating immortal arts.

Leaving aside "Sage Technique: Goemon".

Minato Namikaze's strongest single-target attack—considering its practical value in combat—is still his close-range kunai attack.

Fire Release? Wind Release?

Cold weapons are still the best way to deal with flesh and blood like ninjas!

But how can you use the Flying Thunder God Kunai to deal with that flying giant that's over ten meters tall in the sky?

Minato Namikaze glanced at the specially made kunai in his hand, then at the yellow giant in the sky.

"Look at Lan Gui..."

"Watch me!"

Nara Rinka raised his right hand, and a jet-black projectile condensed in his palm before being released at the bright yellow giant in the sky.

[Spiral Shadow Kill Cannon]!

The jet-black projectile shot out like a black lightning bolt across the sky, striking the bright yellow giant in the blink of an eye and hitting its chest and abdomen with perfect accuracy.

boom!

The Spiral Shadow Cannon struck the yellow giant's body, and the collision of the two equally powerful Yin Release chakras created a deafening sound in mid-air.

According to the principle of mutual destruction, when ninjutsu of the same nature clash, they will cancel out the chakra containing the nature change within them.

After the Spiral Shadow Kill Cannon struck the yellow giant, the Yin Release chakra contained within it canceled out the Yin Release chakra that constituted the yellow giant.

The color of light emanating from the part of the latter's body that was hit faded considerably at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But apart from that, it has almost no other effects.

Even with the almost inexhaustible supply of Yin Release chakra from Uchiha Kagami, the damaged parts of the yellow giant are rapidly returning to their original color.

Minato Namikaze was secretly alarmed upon seeing this.

He had witnessed firsthand the destructive power of the "Super Explosive Spiral Death Missile" unleashed by Nara Rinkei.

Last time, Uchiha Kagami was hit in the abdomen by a "Super Explosive Spiral Death Missile".

If it weren't for the limitations of his reanimated body, Uchiha Kagami would have died from that Shadow Bullet attack long ago!

Yet, this "Super Explosive Spiral Death Missile," capable of blasting through the body of an impure spirit and even collapsing half of the valley wall beneath the Mubi Bridge in Genshin Impact, failed to break through the yellow giant's defenses.

Minato Namikaze felt unprecedented mental pressure due to the lack of offensive capabilities.

Nara Rinka also felt some pressure.

Excluding the [Dust Release: Particle Style] technique, which is not yet usable.

【Spiral Shadow Kill Cannon】is almost one of the most powerful ninjutsu that Nara Rinka currently possesses.

I didn't expect the attack to be so weak against Susanoo...

Compared to Minato Namikaze.

Nara Rinkachi clearly had a deeper understanding of "Susanoo".

According to Nara Rinkazu's assessment, the "Susanoo" released by Uchiha Kagami at this moment, apart from the strange wings on its back, could probably be described as "the third stage of Susanoo".

It possesses a complete humanoid form, wields a strange weapon, and its body is covered with special armor...

Apart from size.

The Susanoo that Uchiha Kagami had condensed at this moment was already incredibly close to the "fourth stage".

At this stage, Susanoo has virtually no weaknesses, except for a very few special ninjutsu techniques.

In addition, Uchiha Kagami can fly...

Even Nara, who was in charge of the laurel tree, found the situation difficult.

However, Nara Rinkazu and Namikaze Minato felt the pressure.

Despite being resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation, Uchiha Kagami showed no signs of fatigue.

After getting a general feel for Susanoo, Uchiha Kagami flapped his yellow wings and swooped down toward Nara Rinkazu and Namikaze Minato on the water below.

Susanoo raised the strangely shaped spiral spear in its right hand and, like a flying knight from a folk tale, swiftly and fiercely thrust it at Nara and his companion.

Without any prompting, Nara Rinkazu and Namikaze Minato simultaneously dodged to the side.

The increase in size will inevitably lead to a decrease in speed.

Nara Rinkazu and Namikaze Minato moved with incredible speed, using their respective Body Flicker Techniques to avoid a direct collision with Uchiha Kagami.

Uchiha Kagami's Susanoo resembled a yellow meteor falling from the sky, crashing heavily onto the water below and creating a huge wave.

Take advantage of the brief obstruction of vision created by the waves.

Nara Rinka instantly resonated with the energy contained within the [Chakra Crystal] and separated a [Shadow Clone].

The chakra of both water and fire natures was rapidly condensed and extracted within the Shadow Clone. He charged towards the spot where Uchiha Kagami had just fallen, like a fearless warrior.

As the spray dissipated and fell, the scene on the water's surface was revealed.

Minato Namikaze's gaze fell upon the conspicuous yellow giant, but he unexpectedly discovered Nara Ranka, who was charging toward the yellow giant.

"That's... a shadow clone?"

Minato Namikaze frowned slightly, ready to provide support at any moment.

"Has Lan Gui come up with some brilliant battle strategy?"

Immediately afterwards, Minato Namikaze witnessed a scene he would likely never forget.

Nara Rinkazu stomped heavily on the water's surface, using the slight recoil to leap high into the air, raising his seemingly ordinary right fist.

At this moment, the water and fire nature chakra within his body was condensed and fused together, forming a brand new [Boiling Release] chakra, which reached its boiling point in the blink of an eye, and wisps of white steam seemed to rise from Nara Rangsuke's entire body.

"Superhuman Strength!"

Nara Rinka aimed at Susanoo's chest, concentrating all of his chakra and power into a simple, unadorned straight punch. The surging power burst forward like a raging river.

Bang—crack!

Nara Rinka's fist collided with the bright yellow Susanoo, and the collision between the two produced a short sound, followed by a series of cracking sounds.

Centered on the point where Nara Rinka's fist landed, cracks began to appear on the surface of Susanoo's armor. These cracks then spread rapidly in all directions, instantly covering Susanoo's chest.

Ding!

With a crisp sound, pieces of yellow debris scattered from the chest area of ​​Uchiha Kagami's Susanoo, quickly dissolving into the air.

The Susanoo that had just easily defended against the Spiral Shadow Kill Cannon had a huge hole punched into its chest by Nara Rinka's Shadow Clone!

The enormous Susanoo was also forced to stagger backward by Nara Rinkazu's punch.

"The power of that punch..."

Minato Namikaze's eyelids twitched slightly.

"I remember Lan Gui seemed to have studied with Lady Tsunade for a while?"

But before Minato Namikaze could even process what he had just witnessed, Nara Rinkazu's Shadow Clone Technique exploded in mid-air with a loud "bang."

obviously.

That "Super Strength Fist," which combined [Super Strength] with [Boiling Release: Super Strength Unmatched], had exceeded the chakra output limit that the [Shadow Clone]'s body could withstand.

The Shadow Clone Technique also dissipated in mid-air due to the depletion of chakra.

But even so.

With this attack, Minato Namikaze finally saw a glimmer of hope for victory!

"Lan Gui, how many more times can you use an attack like that?"

Unexpectedly, Nara Rinka did not respond to the question, but instead asked a question in return.

"Brother Minato, if I were to smash this yellow giant and pull out the Uchiha Mirror inside, would you have a way to seal him away in the shortest amount of time, just like last time?"

"If I use my full sealing technique, I won't be able to participate in the battle..."

Minato Namikaze thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said.

"But I can guarantee that as long as you bring Uchiha Kagami-senpai out, I can apply the sealing technique to him!"

"That's enough..."

Nara Rinka gazed at the fully restored yellow Susanoo and silently released the [Yin Seal] technique.

"I will sortie in Gundam form!"

Fourth update.
