Chapter 165 Minato VS Old Purple

In the center of the battlefield, waves of heat rolled in.

"Kids from Konoha, get out of the way!"

Old Purple had now fully entered Lava Release Chakra Mode, his entire body enveloped in crimson, high-temperature lava, like a small, walking volcano.

With each step he took, the ground beneath his feet was instantly scorched into charred earth, and even the surrounding air was distorted and blurred by the intense heat.

He suddenly threw a punch, the huge lava fist carrying a world-destroying momentum, heading straight for Minato Namikaze.

"Molten Release: Flower Fruit Mountain!"

Dozens of massive lava projectiles erupted from his body like a volcanic eruption, blocking all of the Watergate's escape routes.

Despite the onslaught that could melt steel, Minato remained calm.

Instead of taking the hit head-on, he subtly turned the specially made kunai in his hand.

"Ninja Art: Flying Thunder God Technique!"

"Whoosh!"

The golden figure vanished instantly, leaving only a kunai slowly falling to the ground.

The next second, the lava bombs blasted into the open ground, creating deep craters and splashing lava everywhere.

"It's behind!"

As a Jinchūriki, Rōshi has extremely rich combat experience.

Almost the instant Minato disappeared, he turned around abruptly with his beast-like instincts, and at the same time, a chakra tail behind him swept out like a whip.

"when!"

A crisp metallic clang.

Minato's kunai collided violently with the lava tail. Despite the protection of chakra, the kunai instantly turned bright red and was about to melt.

"It's so hot."

Minato felt a chill run down his spine, and using the momentum, he leaped backward, widening the distance once again.

He glanced down at the kunai in his hand; the blade was already curled up from the intense heat.

"As expected of a Jinchūriki, such defense and attack power are indeed troublesome."

Minato took a deep breath, casually threw away the discarded kunai, and took out two new ones from his ninja tool bag.

His gaze fell on the thick Lava Release armor on Old Purple's body.

"Ordinary physical attacks are ineffective against him; we must find a way to break through that defense."

"Are all Konoha ninjas good at is running away?"

Old Zi grinned maliciously and slammed his hands on the ground.

"Lava Release: Scorching River Rock Technique!"

This time, instead of sporadic fireballs, a torrent of magma erupted from his mouth, sweeping towards the Water Gate like a tsunami.

The scope of the coverage is so broad that it is simply unavoidable.

"Since there's no way to avoid it..."

Minato's eyes narrowed, and he stopped retreating.

He formed hand seals simultaneously, his movements so fast that they were just afterimages.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

A powerful hurricane spewed from his mouth, but not for attack; rather, it was to fuel the fire.

Wind can fan the flames, but it can also change the direction of the fire.

The howling wind forcefully blew the torrent of lava off its original trajectory, causing it to rush past the Water Gate.

"Chance!"

A glint of light flashed in Minato's eyes.

The moment the lava flowed, the nine Flying Thunder God kunai in his hand were scattered like a torrential rain.

"Boohoo!"

The kunai were nailed to the rocks, tree trunks, and even the ground around Old Purple.

In an instant, a "Flying Thunder God Barrier" centered on Old Purple was formed.

"What is this?"

Old Purple frowned, looking at the densely packed kunai around him, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

"It's not over yet."

Minato's figure disappeared again.

This time, his speed was faster and more unpredictable than before.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Golden flashes leaped wildly among the kunai, like a golden lightning bolt weaving a net around Old Purple.

Each flash is accompanied by an attack.

"Rasengan!"

Minato appeared to the left of Old Purple, pressing the blue chakra ball in his hand hard against his shoulder.

"roll!"

Old Purple roared, and his lava armor erupted, attempting to force open the water gate.

But Minato's figure vanished the moment he was touched.

The next second, he reappeared on Lao Zi's right side, this time firing the electromagnetic pistol that Che had given him.

Left side, right side, top of head, back...

In just two seconds, Minato launched more than a dozen attacks in succession using Body Flicker Technique and Flying Thunder God Technique!

Although every attack was blocked by the Lava Release armor, the high frequency of the attacks made it impossible for Old Purple to retaliate, leaving him only able to passively take the hits.

"Damn it! You fly!"

Old Zi was getting annoyed by this guerrilla tactic.

He roared, and his four tails lashed out simultaneously, attempting to launch a full-scale, all-around attack.

"Tailed Beast Ball!"

Rōshi opened his mouth, and dark red chakra began to condense inside.

Since we can't catch you, we'll just blow you and this whole area up!

Looking at the rapidly forming black energy sphere, Minato's expression became more solemn than ever before.

The Tailed Beast Ball is a strategic-level ninjutsu capable of altering terrain. If he were to unleash it at this distance, not only would he die, but the Konoha positions behind him would also be affected.

"We can't let him release him!"

Minato's eyes were resolute.

Instead of dodging, he instantly appeared directly in front of Old Purple, less than two meters away from the Tailed Beast Ball that was about to be launched.

"court death!"

A cruel sense of pleasure flashed in Lao Zi's eyes.

"Flying Thunder God Technique - Second Stage!"

Minato hurled the kunai at Rōshi's head, while instead of retreating, he advanced, extending his right hand.

In his palm, a chakra ball twice the size of a regular Rasengan and with a deeper color was spinning wildly.

"Even though I haven't come up with a name yet, please accept my Rasengan!"

Nishikawa Tetsu glanced at Minato with a distracted look. Good heavens, isn't that the Giant Rasengan? No wonder he's the Yellow Flash. He had only mentioned it to Minato casually before, but he didn't expect that Minato had already developed the Giant Rasengan.

Just as the Tailed Beast Ball was about to be launched.

Minato's figure disappeared again, reappearing where Kunushi was—that is, above Rōshi's head.

Using gravity, he slammed the Giant Rasengan in his hand down onto the top of Old Purple's head, above the mouth where the Tailed Beast Ball was forming.

"boom!!!"

Two terrifying energies collided at point-blank range.

The rotational force of the Giant Rasengan did not directly counteract the explosive force of the Tailed Beast Ball. Instead, it used the centrifugal force generated by the rotation to forcibly change the trajectory of the Tailed Beast Ball!

"What?!"

Old Zi felt a tremendous force coming from above his head, and his head sank uncontrollably downwards.

The Tailed Beast Ball that was originally aimed at Minato was forcibly pressed into the ground!

"Boom—!!!"

A deafening roar.

The Tailed Beast Ball exploded beneath Old Purple's feet.

A terrifying shockwave, carrying lava and debris, instantly engulfed everything.

A giant mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

The smoke and dust cleared.

A crater tens of meters in diameter appeared on the ground.

Old Purple knelt at the bottom of the pit, his Lava Release armor shattered, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and his four tails dull and lifeless.

He was actually injured by his own Tailed Beast Ball!

At the edge of the deep pit, Minato knelt on the ground, panting heavily.

His right hand was trembling slightly, and his sleeve had been burned, revealing a charred arm.

Although the attack just now successfully deflected the Tailed Beast Ball, the aftershocks of the explosion still injured him.

"Cough cough...Good lad..."

Old Zi slowly stood up, the contempt in his eyes completely gone, replaced by an acknowledgment of the strong and an even stronger killing intent.

"You actually managed to push me to this point... Tell me your name."

"Konoha, Minato Namikaze."

Minato stood up, looking somewhat disheveled, but his posture remained upright.

"Very good, Minato Namikaze."

Rōshi's chakra erupted once again, and this time, his body began to change. His red skin gradually deepened, and his size increased.

"Then let me show you the power of a fully transformed tailed beast!"

"roar--!!!"

With a deafening roar, a gigantic red ape appeared on the battlefield.

Four-Tailed Son Goku, Perfect Form!

Facing this colossal beast, which resembled a mountain, Minato gripped his kunai tightly, a confident smile playing on his lips.

"The complete form...?"

"Looks like I'll have to show you some real skills."

The golden light shone again.

The battle has only just begun.
