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

Chapter 383 Master Men is performing Gua Sha!

As early as when he returned to the village, Nara Rinkei had the idea of ​​challenging Minato Namikaze, but unfortunately he never had the chance to put it into practice.

Now that I've finally found some free time, and the little sun has come knocking on my door...

Nara Rinkaku would certainly not let go of this rare opportunity.

The reason he wanted to spar with Minato Namikaze was quite simple.

Nara Rangatsu wanted to obtain more information about the sage techniques passed down from Mount Myōboku through this legitimate successor.

Leaving aside the most important aspect, durability.

In Nara Rinkazu's eyes, Minato Namikaze's level of mastery of Sage Mode surpassed that of his master, Jiraiya!

For Jiraiya to enter Sage Mode, he needed a long period of preparation, the assistance of two great sages, and his appearance would be significantly eroded by the Toad Sage Chakra.

Master Men, however, can instantly enter [Sage Mode]! (Although Master Men exits [Sage Mode] even faster, in seconds...)

Regardless of how fast or short the door master was, he definitely possessed magical abilities!

That's enough.

However, Nara Rinkazu's generous invitation was not immediately accepted by Minato Namikaze.

"Lunch is no problem at all, or rather, I was planning to invite Lan Gui to have lunch with me anyway."

Minato Namikaze looked slightly troubled and spoke slowly.

"But a friendly sparring match... is that really necessary?"

Minato Namikaze vaguely sensed that Nara Rinkazu might have some other ulterior motives towards him.

He just witnessed Nara Rankei beat up the Third Hokage with his own eyes...

The infamous (and notorious) Dark Ninja couldn't even last a few rounds against Nara Rinka.

The entire Root organization was wiped out by Nara Rinkazu's ninjutsu.

Not to mention the other powerful ninjas and tailed beast weapons who fell to Nara Rinka!

A ninja of this caliber suddenly issued a challenge at this moment...

If Minato Namikaze hadn't known the Nara clan's temperament, he would have thought that Minato had somehow offended Nara Rinkazu, causing this top-tier ninja from the same village to want to teach him a lesson.

Why are the Konoha ninjas making things difficult for the Konoha ninjas?

Seeing Minato Namikaze's resistant attitude, Nara Rinka remained silent for a moment.

In fact, as his strength and prestige continued to rise, it became increasingly difficult for him to find someone to spar with (and harvest secret scrolls).

Even a cheat-like master like Master Men doesn't really want to fight him anymore...

Nara Rinkazu had no idea how much his battle with Hiruzen Sarutobi had shocked Minato Namikaze.

"Then... let's eat first!"

……

I never expected this.

Nara Rinkazu finally got the chance to spar with Minato Namikaze.

He didn't pay any other price; he simply cleverly changed the name of the battle.

Sparring and fighting?

No, it's experimental ninjutsu!

Under the pretext of exchanging information about the development progress of the Rasengan, Nara Rinkazu brought Minato Namikaze to the training grounds of Kikyo Castle.

"Lan Gui's personality is really different from the other ninjas of the Nara clan..."

Minato Namikaze gazed at Nara Rinkazu, who was preparing for battle, and secretly grumbled to himself.

"He's just too aggressive, especially in combat..."

"Brother Shuimen".

Nara Rinkazu looked at Minato Namikaze with a smile, as if he were looking at a thriving golden leek.

"I'm ready!"

Minato Namikaze exhaled, completely clearing his mind of distractions, and calmly looked at his opponent.

Although he doesn't consider himself a match for Nara Rinka.

But surrendering before the battle even begins is not Minato Namikaze's style!

This is a perfect opportunity to personally experience the power of the Dark Shadow!

"Experimenting with ninjutsu? That's just a cover..."

Minato Namikaze hesitated for a moment, but finally reached into his ninja tool pouch and took out several uniquely shaped Flying Thunder God kunai.

"I guess I should just go all out!"

Minato Namikaze held the Flying Thunder God kunai between his fingers, and with a slight flick of his wrist, several gleaming Flying Thunder God kunai flew in a triangular formation towards Nara Rangsuke.

Should I start with Flying Thunder God Technique?

Nara Rinka subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to use a spell to interrupt Minato Namikaze's offensive rhythm.

However, considering the "reputation" of this sparring match, he suppressed the urge to unleash the [Spiral Shadow Piercing Bullet] and allowed the Flying Thunder God Kunai to approach.

Just as the Flying Thunder God Kunai was closing in and about to hit Nara Rinka's body.

A giant black hand, as large as a palm leaf fan, emerged from Nara Rinkazu's shadow, blocking his path and intercepting the Flying Thunder God kunai that were approaching almost side by side.

Black Knight!

Just then, the mark on the Flying Thunder God Kunai on the left flashed, and Minato Namikaze's figure traversed time and space, arriving directly in front of the giant chakra hand.

Minato Namikaze gripped the Flying Thunder God kunai tightly in his right hand, twisted his waist sharply, and forcibly changed his position in mid-air to dodge the strike of the Black Warrior's giant hand.

But he dodged it. The other Flying Thunder God Kunai he threw were like mosquitoes, slapped away by the Black Warrior and scattered on the ground around him.

Minato Namikaze, turning his body, swung the Flying Thunder God kunai in his right hand at just the right moment.

Suddenly, a layer of shimmering chakra light wrapped around the sharp blade of the Flying Thunder God kunai, and a faint whistling sound could be heard. It was Minato Namikaze who had covered his kunai with a sharp layer of wind release chakra.

The already extremely sharp Flying Thunder God kunai becomes even more powerful in armor-piercing ability after being enhanced by Wind Release chakra.

clang--

Minato Namikaze, wielding the Flying Thunder God kunai, struck the back of the Black Warrior's giant hand with a sharp, resounding clang.

"As expected... Lan Gui's giant transformation ninjutsu provides uniform defensive power throughout her entire body!"

Minato Namikaze's eyelids twitched slightly.

He had personally witnessed the Third Hokage stab Nara Rinkazu's black giant with a kunai.

As a result, the black giant was unharmed, while the fine kunai broke on the spot.

From that moment on, Minato Namikaze realized that the defensive power of Nara Rinkazu's Black Giant Technique was terrifying!

This is why Minato Namikaze chose to wrap a layer of wind-style chakra around his Flying Thunder God kunai.

If you use a simple kunai to slash at the [Black Warrior].

It's likely that the Flying Thunder God Kunai will meet the same fate as the exquisite kunai that Hiruzen Sarutobi used before.

The attempt to break through the armor was thwarted instead!

Fortunately, the Flying Thunder God Kunai was covered with a layer of Wind Release chakra at this moment.

Although it failed to break through the Black Warrior's defense, at least the Flying Thunder God Kunai, which was enveloped in Wind Release chakra, was not damaged.

Minato Namikaze makes direct contact with the Dark Knight.

Nara Rinka manipulates the shadow of the "Black Warrior" in an attempt to control the opponent's actions.

Minato Namikaze glanced at the shadowy figure reflected in the giant hand of the Black Warrior out of the corner of his eye, and decisively activated the Flying Thunder God Technique a second time.

When fighting against Nara clan ninjas, the primary prerequisite is to avoid any shadows that connect with the opponent!

Minato Namikaze appeared in another part of the training ground, with a Flying Thunder God kunai stuck upside down in the ground beneath his feet.

The scattered landing points of the kunai that [Black Knight] just knocked away provided Minato Namikaze with just enough space to move around flexibly.

Minato Namikaze didn't hesitate much the moment he landed.

His feet slammed heavily on the ground, and he used the Body Flicker Technique with unparalleled fluidity, instantly closing in on Nara Rinka like a gust of wind.

In Minato Namikaze's free left hand, a chakra ball emitting a faint glow was spinning in the air at an extraordinary speed.

"Rasengan!"

Minato Namikaze shouted and aimed at Nara Rinkazu's position, thrusting his left hand straight out, sending a Rasengan hurtling forward with a gust of wind.

With a slight thought, Nara Rinkachi's skeletal form, the [Black Warrior], appeared around his body, forming a very effective protective barrier.

boom--

Minato Namikaze's Rasengan slammed heavily into the surface of the Black Warrior's skeleton, instantly unleashing a deafening roar in the empty training ground.

A strong gale, carrying clouds of dust, spread in all directions.

In a short time.

Neither Nara Rinkazu nor Minato Namikaze were able to conceal their figures in the raging wind and dust.

But once the smoke and dust cleared and the gale stopped, the wind died down.

Master Men looked ahead with hope.

The Black Knight was completely unharmed.

[Rasengan] failed to break through the defense.
