"You heard me correctly. Don't think that just because I've revealed a lot about the future, I'm on your side. It seems… we're enemies now…"
Seeing that besides Minato Namikaze, Shibi Aburame and Chōza Akimichi on either side had also adopted a defensive stance, Kaoru's lips curved slightly upwards. A brilliant light erupted from his Mangekyō Sharingan. "Golden Flash Minato Namikaze… indeed a ninja worth my attention…"
As soon as Kaoru finished speaking, the previously relaxed atmosphere instantly turned grim. Wan'er beside him also sensed the murderous intent. Black bones reappeared, enveloping her.
Shibi Aburame, beside Minato Namikaze, immediately dispersed countless dense black insects around his body. Chōza Akimichi, meanwhile, used a partial Multi-Size Jutsu, making the fist of one arm incredibly large.
Suddenly, a scarlet light flashed in Kaoru's crimson eyes. Just as he was about to react, a spiraling ball of blue light began to enlarge on the ground.
"Tch… there's already a Flying Thunder God Jutsu seal on the ground. But I've already set mine up too…" Kaoru's lips curled slightly. He activated the Flying Thunder God Jutsu and vanished from his original position.
Minato Namikaze, who had just teleported to the ground beneath Kaoru and unleashed the Rasengan attack from above, saw his vision blur and Kaoru disappear. His heart suddenly jolted, and he instinctively vanished from his spot again.
"You react quite quickly… As expected of the fastest man among the Hokage ninja…"
Kaoru mused slightly. To everyone's astonishment, Kaoru had, at some unknown point, appeared like a ghost at the spot on the ground where Minato Namikaze had just attacked.
Glancing at Minato Namikaze, who had returned to his original standing position between Shibi Aburame and Chōza Akimichi, everyone finally realized that in less than a blink of an eye, Kaoru and Minato had already exchanged two rounds.
This speed?!
Someone could actually keep up with Minato's Flying Thunder God Jutsu?!
Shibi Aburame and Chōza Akimichi stared with expressions of utter horror. In an era when the moniker "Golden Flash" resounded throughout the ninja world, who could have imagined that someone could instantly match Minato's speed and repel him?
"Such incredible speed. I almost…" Minato Namikaze, who had returned to stand between Shibi Aburame and Chōza Akimichi, stared intently at Kaoru, his eyes becoming extremely serious. He glanced at the traces on the ground and discovered that besides his own Flying Thunder God Jutsu seal, there was another one.
"How is this possible…" Minato Namikaze's face showed surprise, and he then stared at Kaoru, saying, "Do you also know the Flying Thunder God Jutsu?!"
"You truly live up to the name 'Golden Flash'… Not only your mastery of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, but also your unparalleled reflexes…" While everyone was shocked, Kaoru's expression also began to show a hint of seriousness. "That's right, the Flying Thunder God Jutsu… I know it too!"
...
"Brother, is this okay? To be enemies with Naruto and his father?" Wan'er, who had come to Kaoru's side, asked with worry in her beautiful eyes. "And Naruto's father seems very powerful."
"It's fine. They are not from the same world as us," Kaoru said calmly, looking at Wan'er's worried expression. "Don't worry… he's not my opponent yet."
"Damn it, I didn't expect you to be like that Mukade, a…"
"Don't speak. Your opponent is no simple ninja…"
Before Naruto could finish speaking, Minato Namikaze interrupted him. His azure eyes stared intently at Kaoru before him, showing no carelessness.
"Not only that, but the girl beside him is also a troublesome ninja. Chōza, Shibi, you must be careful…" Minato Namikaze's cautionary words still hung in the air when he instantly made his move.
The next time Minato Namikaze appeared, he was behind Kaoru, a Rasengan glowing with blue light in his hand, striking at Kaoru. Simultaneously, Shibi Aburame and Chōza Akimichi on the other side suddenly scattered countless Flying Thunder God Kunai towards Kaoru.
"Flying Thunder God Second Stage, huh…"
A deep light flashed in Kaoru's scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan. He sensed Minato Namikaze's attack from behind and also noticed the Flying Thunder God Kunai thrown by Shibi Aburame and Chōza Akimichi. He instantly moved, tossing several of his own Flying Thunder God Kunai from his ninja tool pouch into the surroundings, and then vanished from his original position!
"Such a fast reaction!!!"
Sensing the gust of wind from behind him, Minato Namikaze gritted his teeth slightly. He had never encountered a ninja like Kaoru who was so proficient in space-time ninjutsu and possessed such exceptional reflexes in all these years.
Under everyone's focused gaze, a dark black and a golden light flashed. Kaoru and Minato Namikaze had already exchanged countless rounds in an instant. In each exchange, they would often use space-time ninjutsu to teleport themselves at the very moment they were about to be hit by the opponent, and then launch their own attacks.
"My eyes… my eyes can't even see their battle…"
During the lightning-fast exchange between Kaoru and Minato Namikaze, Naruto, standing dumbfounded nearby, opened his mouth in shock. He realized he couldn't track the movements of either Kaoru or Minato Namikaze at all.
"I never imagined that in the future ninja world, such a ninja would appear…"
During the light-speed battle with Kaoru, Minato Namikaze was horrified to discover that no matter how hard he tried to use the Flying Thunder God Second Stage, he couldn't even touch a corner of Kaoru's robe.
"Hmph… It seems the Flying Thunder God Second Stage is your limit. In that case, it's time to end this boring game…"
At this moment, Kaoru's voice, light and dismissive, echoed from the void. After this endless chase through space-time, Kaoru was gradually losing his interest in playing.
Perfect Sage Mode, Activate!
In the blink of an eye, an intangible aura erupted from Kaoru's body, stirring up countless swirling dust particles. Instantly, a mysterious hue appeared at the corners of Kaoru's eyes.
"This is… Sage Mode?!"
At this moment, Minato Namikaze, having just escaped Kaoru's fierce surprise attack, heard Kaoru's words broadcast into the surrounding air. He suddenly saw the change in Kaoru's body and felt a fatal sense of crisis.
He, too, was a master of Sage Mode, having studied at Mount Myōboku under Jiraiya. However, he doubted he could achieve such an effortless fusion with the notoriously difficult natural energy, activating Sage Mode instantly!
In a flash, the two landed on the ground again. The Kunai scattered around them were now stuck haphazardly in the ground. These included Minato's Flying Thunder God Kunai and Kaoru's Flying Thunder God Kunai.
"Sage Art: Hard Whirlwind Blade!!!"
A giant shadow descended. A piercing sonic boom and a rumbling roar ensued. Kaoru was now holding a Hard Whirlwind Blade, which was as large as a small asteroid, prepared at some unknown time. Amidst the sound of tearing air, it was also boiling with churning, high-temperature flames!
"That… I must dodge it, or transfer it!!!"
Seeing the incredibly imposing Hard Whirlwind Blade Kaoru was unleashing towards him, Minato Namikaze's pupils instantly shrank to the size of needles. In this crisis, all his potential was squeezed out.
"Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder!!!"
Minato Namikaze raised his hands, opening a Flying Thunder God barrier in the direction of the Hard Whirlwind Blade's attack, intending to transfer this roaring giant ninjutsu to a distant location!
"Too naive… Flying Thunder God Third Stage!!!"
