Yasu originally wanted to find a place to train and consolidate the insights he gained during the battle with Kuroyama Tatsuji in the Hot Spring Village.
However, he didn't expect to run into Minato no matter where he went.
He didn't want to train in front of Minitoe.
It made him uncomfortable.
When he turned around to leave, Minato used Body Flicker Technique to block his path.
Yasu looked at Minato with a displeased expression and said: "What? Do you want to lecture me again? Even your teacher couldn't lecture me, what makes you think you can?"
Minato shook his head: "I won't lecture you anymore. Just like Teacher Jiraiya said, in war, what you did wasn't wrong. You simply chose any means to achieve victory."
"Although I don't agree with your methods, I can't say that your methods are wrong. It's just that our ideals are different."
Yasu's eyebrows twitched involuntarily: "Oh? It seems Lord Jiraiya is very responsible. But a friendly reminder, next time on the battlefield, if you block me like last time, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Alright, I don't want talk to you anymore. Move aside, I need to go train."
Minato didn't move aside, looking directly at him and said, "Actually, there's one more thing..."
Yasu sensed the fighting spirit on Minato's eyes and asked in surprise: "What, you want to fight me?"
Minato said seriously: "Not a fight, a spar. It's been several years since our last spar. I want to see how big the gap between us is!"
Yasu looked at him for a long time, then suddenly laughed: "Forget it, Minato Namikaze, you don't interest me right now."
If Minato knew Flying Thunder God Technique or Sage Mode now, that would be a bit more interesting.
But right now, he doesn't know anything, just a few Wind Release ninjutsu.
Moreover, Minato's speed has reached its limit and can't keep up with him at all.
As for the Rasengan.
Whether Kushina will become a Jinchuriki is still unknown, because Minato created the Rasengan inspired by the Tailed Beast Ball of the Tailed Beast.
So, it is almost impossible for him to create the Rasengan through Kushina's Nine-Tailed Beast Ball.
Therefore, Yasu had no interest in the spar proposed by Minato.
After all, the result was already expected.
Seeing him reject his request for a spar, Minato frowned, then pleaded: "Yasu, I know there's a big gap between us right now, but I want to know how big the gap between us is. Please give me this chance."
Yasu looked at him with a strange expression: "Aren't you worried that the gap between me and you is too big, and you'll stop progressing from now on?"
Minatoreplied seriously: "Absolutely not. If that's really the case, just like you said before, it's because I don't have enough strength, and I can't blame anyone else."
Yasu stroked his chin and sized up Minato: "I see. To be honest, I have no interest in sparring with you, but I'm very interested in seeing you depressed and unable to recover. So, I agree to this spar."
A hint of joy appeared on Minato's face.
He knew that he was definitely inferior to Yasu now, and the gap between them was still very large.
But he wanted to know how big the gap between them was, and how much he needed to catch up to reach him.
Then Yasu and Minato turned around and walked backward at the same time.
After taking fifteen steps, the two turned around and faced each other again at the same time.
Minato was now full of fighting spirit and ready to fight: "Yasu, I'm ready."
Yasu casually placed his arm on the hilt of his ninja sword and said: "Coincidentally, I'm researching a new move, but I haven't succeeded yet. But even if it's an unsuccessful move, it will be difficult for you to resist. It may end the battle in an instant, so should I let you make a few moves to enjoy yourself? Lest you get frustrated because you didn't even get to make a single move."
Minato said seriously: "Since it's a spar, we must fight on equal footing, otherwise it will be meaningless."
"Is that so? Then as you wish, I'm really looking forward to your frustrated face."
Yasu placed his hand on top of the hilt of his ninja sword and slightly bent his body.
Seeing his starting stance, Minato's eyes narrowed, and he immediately recognized it.
This is Yasu's most commonly used move, First Form: Thunderclap and Flash.
Although Yasu's speed is indeed much faster than it was a few years ago, Minato is very clear about the shortcomings of Thunderclap and Flash.
Even if Yasu compensates for the shortcomings by using the surrounding terrain to change the direction of his advance multiple times, it is still difficult to prevent him from reacting.
Because even if he changes the direction of his advance, it doesn't change the fact that he is attacking him in a straight line.
Minato began to form hand seals, forming the hand seals for the Summoning Technique.
In his opinion, Yasu's real prowess lies in the later sword forms of Thunder Breathing, Fire Style ninjutsus, and Sharingan.
So, Minato planned to summon a toad from Mount Myoboku to assist him in battle.
While he was forming hand seals, Yasu also made his move.
"Thunder Breathing, First Form: Thunderclap and Flash! Godspeed!"
The ultimate Thunderclap and Flash, the fastest flash.
The sound of thunder that resounded around him when he made his move was louder than the sound of thunder that resounded during a normal Thunderclap and Flash. At the same time, the ground beneath his feet instantly turned pitch black, leaving deep footprints on the ground.
Because his legs are covered by his pants, they cannot be seen. The blood vessels in Yasu's legs were all bulging, showing how strong the power accumulated in his legs was now.
An instant, Minato only blinked an instant and Yasu who seemed to be still in place have already moved.
Immediately afterward, Minato felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. His whole body flew out, crashing heavily into a tree trunk, vomiting a mouthful of blood, and collapsing weakly on the ground.
He struggled to raise his head and glanced at Yasu.
Yasu's ninja sword was not unsheathed at all. He was slashed with the scabbard just now.
No! He shouldn't have been slashed. He just raised the scabbard, that's all.
Yasu simply used the power of speed to hit his abdomen with the scabbard.
Otherwise, if he had added a slash just now, Minato felt that it was impossible for him to only suffer this little injury, and several bones would definitely be broken.
Looking at the charred path and deep footprints on the ground, his pupils shrank.
When Yasu moved just now, how much power did his feet have to step out such deep footprints?
Minato's gaze fell on Yasu again.
Is this the new move he is researching?
