"Dad is really strong!"


    Naruto, perched on the railing of another section of the arena, jumped up and down in excitement as he watched Minato unleash his full power. Right now, he wanted nothing more than to rush out and fight alongside his father!


    Sasuke looked at the battle expressionlessly, with his teeth clenched, ''Dad, you… need to work harder!!''


    The two were engrossed in the battle, but Kurenai, next to them, frowned.


    Although Minato had killed four enemies in an instant, the gold dust wave controlled by ''Rasa'' was sweeping down with unstoppable force. If they got caught in it, they would…


    "You two, the front lines are getting more dangerous. It''s time to leave with me!" Kurenai urged.


    "No! I will never leave!" Naruto clenched his fists, his blue eyes shining with determination as he stared at Minato wearing the Hokage Robe.


    If Naruto wasn''t leaving, Sasuke was even less willing to go.


    ''I have lost my face because I was defeated by Lee. If I leave now, I''m afraid that Naruto will alwaysugh at me, and regard me as a coward!''Kurenai was about to insist when a loud crash from the front caught her attention. She turned her head and saw that the gold dust wave had already poured into the arena. In a blink of an eye, it engulfed the fallen stand and rolled towards them.


    Fortunately, the stands where they are located are as high as 100 meters, so the gold dust wave can''t reach them.


    Kurenai sighed in relief.


    At this time, Minato, Fugaku, Kakashi, Guy, Asuma, and Tenzo had all stood on the rock wall, staring coldly at ''Rasa'' standing on the gold dust desert.


    "Kanpū, are you alright?" Guy loudly shouted at the gold dust desert.


    "I''m fine."


    Under the gold dust wave, Kanpū, wearing the green Chakra Cloak, flew up majestically, with four Truth-Seeking Balls spinning around him, disintegrating the approaching gold dust into nothingness.


    ''Four balls?''


    ''Rasa'' narrowed his eyes slightly.


    "Kanpū, where''s Orochimaru?" Minato asked quickly.


    "That one was a fake. He''s already blown up." Kanpū said calmly.


    Just now, when the stand copsed and fell to the ground, Kanpū, protected by the Truth-Seeking Balls, was unharmed, but Orochimaru on the opposite side was not. He was forced to the limit by Kanpū''s green Chakraser, and was then affected by the copse of the stand. He then died tragically under Kanpū''s greenser!


    "Fake?" Minato frowned.


    Then, as if realizing something, he turned sharply towards rasa on the gold dust desert, his eyes filled with suspicion, "You... could it be?"


    "Hehehehe… Yondaime''s intuition is really sharp." A cold and hoarseughter came from the mouth of ''Rasa'', sending cold shivers down one''s spine.


    "Thisughter?"


    Kakashi''s face changed drastically, horror written all over it, "Orochimaru? It''s you! How is it possible?!"


    ''Ma Release is Yondaime Kazekage''s Kekkei Genkai, how could Orochimaru use it?''


    "That person is Orochimaru?" Guy also thought of this and said in confusion, "Then what about these golden sands?"


    "It''s Hiruko''s Chimera Technique! "


    Minato took a deep breath, and calmly exined, "This Forbidden Technique allows one to acquire others'' Kekkei Genkai by absorbing them!"


    ''Chimera Technique?''


    ''There''s actually such a bizarre technique in the Shinobi World?''


    Kakashi, Asuma and the others look at each other in shock.


    "Hiruko was from Konoha, so it''s not surprising that you know about him." ''Rasa'' touched his face and peeled off ayer of skin, revealing Orochimaru''s cold, sinister visage beneath.


    "Putting it that way, Yondaime Kazekage is dead?" Kakashi asked.


    "And so are you." Orochimaru said confidently.


    Hearing this, Kanpūughed, "Orochimaru, you''re getting a bit too cocky."


    ''You are the one who''s cocky…'' Kakashi looked Kanpū floating in the air with the green Chakra Cloak, and could not help butin.


    "Kanpū-kun, your ck ball is indeed terrifying, but its ws are also very fatal. You can''t defeat me with them." Orochimaru said, staring at the four Truth-Seeking Ball behind Kanpū vigntly.


    "Then, shall we test that?" Kanpū raised an eyebrow.


    Seeing Kanpū''s eager expression, Orochimaru''s expression stiffened, and he couldn''t help but recall the scenes of being entrapped by Kanpū in the past.


    ''Could those ck balls have other functions?''


    Orochimaru''s expression grew serious, but then he smiled again.


    ''I am worrying too much.''


    ''So what if Gekko Kanpū still has tricks up his sleeve?''


    ''Under my Wood Release, any Ninjutsu, Forbidden Technique, Genjutsu and Kekkei Genkai are all useless!''


    ''Besides, I still have Ma Release, Sharingan, and Steel Release, there''s no way I would lose!''


    Orochimaru lowered his hands and said with a smile, "Let''s test it then."


    As soon as the words fell, he heard a series of sharp winds came from the left.


    Orochimaru waved his hand nonchntly, and the gold dust desert shook. Then suddenly, a big wave of gold dust blocked off the special kunai thrown by Minato, and then buried them in the depths.


    Minato sighed slightly, knowing his attempt had failed again.


    Orochimaru turned his head and lightly said with a chuckle, "Yondaime, your Flying Thunder God Technique no longer poses a threat to me."


    "Then, how about me?"


    Guy eximed, "Eight Gates Technique, Gate of Opening, Gate of Healing, Gate of Life, open!"


    Opening three gates in session, Guy''s foot hit the ground, causing the rock to crack. He broke the sound barrier, creating invisible shockwaves, and arrived in front of Orochimaru with a piercing sound of lightning and wind.


    ''So fast!''


    Orochimaru''s pupils shrank, as even his gold dust can''t stop Guy''s attack!


    ''Unfortunately…''


    A cold smile appeared on Orochimaru''s lips, ''Your Taijutsu is useless against me!''


    ''Steel Release!''


    With a thought, Orochimaru''s entire body was coated suddenly in a dark, metallic hue, which resembled Armament Haki!


    "Leaf Great Whirlwind!"


    Whoosh …


    The harsh wind whistled past Orochimaru''s face.


    ''Missed?''


    Orochimaru was stunned.


    ''With Guy''s Taijutsu, how could he miss?''


    Orochimaru looked up and saw Guy throwing out a bunch of oddly-shaped kunai with a smirk.


    ''Namikaze Minato''s Flying Thunder God Kunai?''


    Orochimaru''s expression changed, and he quickly manipted the gold dust beneath him to surge upward, and at the same time, he quickly retreated back.


    Whoosh!


    A ring-shaped shockwave exploded from the special kunai, golden light shed, and Minato appeared in front of Orochimaru.


    "Nami! Kaze! Mina! To!!" Orochimaru, who quickly retreated backwards, stared coldly at Minato, who was just around the corner.


    Minato calmly ced his palm on Orochimaru''s chest.


    Orochimaru''s pupils shrank, ''He wanted to leave the Flying Thunder God Technique''s imprint on me?''n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    ''Bastard!''


    Feeling both surprised and angry, Orochimaru''s body quickly turned into soft steel and his body twisted, making his upper half contort into an exaggerated ''S'' shape.


    ''It really doesn''t work.''


    Minato''s hand couldn''t stretch that far, ''Since there is no way to do it, I can only settle for the next best option!''


    Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!!


    In his right hand, Minato instantly formed a rapidly spinning Rasenshuriken!


    This is an S-Rank Ninjutsu created after hebined the perfect Shape Transformation Rasengan with Chakra Nature Transformation. Its power is extremely terrifying!


    But correspondingly, its stability still needs to be improved.


    The moment Wind Release: Rasenshuriken was formed, Minato loudly shouted, "Guy, quickly retreat!"


    "Understood."


    Boom!


    With afterimage flickering, Guy has already retreated several hundred meters away at instant.


    Then, the golden light shed again, as Minato instantly returned to the previous position with Flying Thunder God Technique after throwing the Rasenshuriken.


    In the next moment, the Rasenshuriken exploded!


    Boom boom boom…


    Countless Wind Attribute Chakra condensed fine needles, like chaoticsers, struck Orochimaru''s steel body with relentless ferocity.


    Even the big wave of gold dust was blown to pieces!


    Orochimaru felt like he was trapped in a tornado of steel des, enduring wave after wave of relentless cutting.


    ''Damn it!''


    Orochimaru''s eyes were wide with rage. Even with Steel Release activated, he was reaching his limit, struggling to withstand the terrifying assault!
