Minato Namikaze hurled three Flying Thunder God Kunai toward Han.
The three kunai flew at Han from left, right, and front directions.
"Left? Right? Or straight ahead?"
Han tried to figure out where Minato Namikaze would appear from.
But soon Han stopped thinking about it.
Because Minato would definitely appear from one of these three kunai.
Since that was settled, there was no need to guess which kunai Minato would appear from.
Han planned to push his speed to the limit, striking down Minato with a single blow no matter where he appeared.
Minato activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.
As soon as he saw that flash of yellow appearing from the left,
[Boil Release! Monster Strength!]
Han boosted his chakra to boiling point in an instant, enhancing his physical strength throughout his entire body, then smashed his fist toward Minato.
But compared to Minato's speed, Han might as well have been moving in slow motion.
Just as Han's fist was about to hit Minato, Minato once again used the Flying Thunder God Technique, teleporting to the kunai on the right, dodging the attack completely.
Han had quick reflexes too, twisting his body instantly and launching a spinning kick at Minato.
Then Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique again, this time teleporting to the kunai directly in front.
At the same time, Minato threw the Iron Sand Ball given by Shindai onto Han's armor.
The ball immediately scattered into iron sand and adhered to Han's armor.
Afterwards, Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique once more to increase the distance between himself and Han.
Han paid no attention to the iron sand, watching Minato instead with growing frustration.
Han sneered coldly, "You're as slippery as an eel. Do all Konoha ninja know how to do is run?"
Minato spoke in the gentlest tone possible, "Would you kindly remove your armor?"
Beneath Han's metallic mask, his lips curled slightly in irritation.
Without this armor and without borrowing the power of the tailed beast, he might really not be Minato's match.
There's just no way to land a hit on Minato.
"Shindai!"
Minato called out to Shindai.
"Hey Shindai, come on! Sensei's calling you!"
Obito excitedly shook Shindai's arm.
Shindai frowned and said, "Stop shaking me! I'm not deaf! You're really distracting me like this—Kakashi, hold him down!"
For the first time ever, Kakashi obeyed Shindai without hesitation, firmly restraining Obito to prevent him from disturbing Shindai.
Shindai focused intently on controlling the iron sand clinging to Han's Steam Armor; the grains seeped through the holes and gaps in the plating.
Inside Han's Steam Armor were highly sophisticated mechanisms designed to maximize the effectiveness of his Boil Release abilities.
Now what Shindai needed to do was use his Iron Sand Body to destroy the delicate internal components of Han's Steam Armor, then block all its vents.
Shindai swiftly completed his task.
Shindai grinned sinisterly. "Alright, now things will get interesting!"
Kakashi, Obito, and Rin Nohara heard Shindai announce that he was done, so they all turned their gazes toward Han in the distance.
Minato Namikaze had already prepared himself for another fight with Han.
After all, Shindai's method was merely experimental; Minato couldn't possibly rely solely on Shindai's Iron Sand Body.
Han noticed that this time Minato only threw one Flying Thunder God Kunai, and his eyes lit up immediately.
If it was only one Flying Thunder God Kunai, it would be easy to handle.
However, Han failed to notice the three Flying Thunder God Kunai that had fallen beside him earlier.
Seeing an opening, Han activated Boil Release: Unrivalled Strength once more, surging his chakra into a boiling state.
At the very moment Han activated his Steam Armor using Boil Release, Han suddenly sensed something was off.
Because Han heard sounds like "clinking and clanking" from his Steam Armor, and there was no steam being released as expected.
Han's expression suddenly changed drastically—those "clinking and clanking" sounds were his Steam Armor's mechanical parts shattering.
"Crap!"
Feeling searing heat building up inside him, Han tried to halt his jutsu—but it was already too late.
The vents of the Steam Armor had been blocked by Shindai's Iron Sand Body. If this continued, the steam wouldn't be able to escape...
Before Minato Namikaze could even attack Han with the Flying Thunder God Technique, suddenly there was a loud 'Boom!'
Han exploded right on the spot.
The explosion created a wave of heat.
Minato Namikaze stared in shock at the exploded Han.
He had originally assumed Shindai's plan would only disable Han's Steam Armor, but he hadn't expected it to actually cause Han to explode.
Meanwhile, Jiraiya and Roshi stopped fighting simultaneously and turned their gazes toward Han.
They saw fragments of the Steam Armor scattered everywhere. Han was naked, his entire body covered in severe burns—his appearance now grotesquely disfigured.
Shindai's grin stretched all the way to his ears.
This was beyond satisfying!
Clearing his throat, Shindai said coolly, "The Enemy Is Embarrassed, So I'll Strip His Clothes Off."
Minato Namikaze wanted to seize this opportunity to kill Han directly.
Suddenly, powerful tailed beast chakra erupted from Han's body. His whole body was covered in dark red tailed beast chakra, two tails appeared behind him, and the number of tails kept increasing.
Roshi frowned and said, "Hey, Han, are you going to fully transform into your tailed beast state?"
Han's hoarse and furious voice rang out, "I'll kill them all!"
"I see. Then let's end this battle right away."
Roshi and Jiraiya stepped back from Han and moved to stand beside him.
Roshi's Tailed Beast Chakra erupted violently, cloaking his body in a fierce crimson aura as he grew more tails.
This overwhelming malevolent chakra made Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya turn serious.
Meanwhile, Shindai, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin Nohara began trembling uncontrollably.
Han and Roshi, already in partial tailed beast transformations and barely recognizable as human, had not yet completed their change. Their bodies continued to absorb vast quantities of Tailed Beast Chakra.
As the two colossal beasts emerged before them, everyone present was overcome with sheer terror.
Shindai gazed at Roshi and Han in disbelief—could they really be perfect Jinchuriki?
At this moment, Han and Roshi had fully transformed into Tailed Beasts, becoming Four-Tails and Five-Tails respectively.
Through relentless training, Han and Roshi had mastered control over their respective beasts' power, retaining full consciousness even during complete transformations.
[Tailed Beast Ball]s began forming in the mouths of Four-Tails and Five-Tails.
Jiraiya said grimly, "Minato, it's a [Tailed Beast Ball]! We need to pull back for now!"
"Right!"
Minato reached out and touched Jiraiya, using the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear beside Shindai and the others.
Without Minato even needing to speak, Shindai and the others instantly grabbed hold of him.
Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique again, instantly removing them from the battlefield.
Back on the battlefield, the two [Tailed Beast Ball]s exploded, unleashing an earth-shattering detonation.
Even after escaping the battlefield, the shockwave nearly sent Shindai and the others sprawling.
Minato gazed intently toward the explosion site, frowning deeply as he murmured, "So this is the power of a Tailed Beast..."
His thoughts turned to Kushina Uzumaki then.
That very same power was sealed inside her...
