Chapter 85: Chapter 85: The Long-Awaited Fight.
After Yasu proposed to Orochimaru that he wanted to go to the Land of Grass, he began the handover process.
Once the handover was complete and he had packed his belongings, Yasu waited patiently for his transfer order.
Orochimaru wouldn't assign him any tasks for the next few days, and he would be able to enjoy a rare few days of rest.
So, he lazed around the camp for three days.
Everyone already knew that Yasu was leaving the Land of Hot Water.
Uchiha Kyosuke and the other three had listened to his advice, but not completely.
While they didn't follow Uchiha Kazuo, they didn't follow Minato, but instead accepted Nara Shoji's assignment, and the four of them went to four different teams.
Because in their view, if the four of them joined Minato's team at the same time, it would be like submitting to him.
Although Uchiha Kyosuke and the others had been suppressed by Yasu for the past few years, they were still proud in their hearts and didn't want to bow their heads to anyone.
So, it was better to accept Nara Shoji's arrangement and go to the designated teams.
Night fell.
Yasu lay on a small hill, gazing at the moon.
Once the all-out war starts, it would be the time when he would be truly busy.
At that time, the elite jonins from various ninja villages would emerge, and the ways to obtain witness points would appear like a burst from a well.
Suddenly, a kunai landed beside him.
This kunai was not a traditional kunai, but a three-pronged kunai, with the words 'Endurance Love Sword' marked on the handle.
The next moment, Minato appeared at the location of the kunai.
Yasu curled his lip and said: "Isn't it a little late to come and show off your Flying Thunder God Technique now?"
Minato put his kunai back into his ninja pouch and asked in a gentle tone: "I heard you're going to the Land of Grass, why so suddenly? The situation there is very stable, it shouldn't need you to provide support, right?"
Yasu replied casually: "Where I want to go is none of your business."
Seeing him like this, Minato sighed: "Still hasn't changed at all, still so unsociable."
Yasu said impolitely: "You're right about that, I've never changed, and I still hate you as always."
Minato smiled, not minding, and continued: "Before going to the Land of Grass, you should go back to Konoha, right?"
"I'm also going back. Konoha is currently preparing for a full-scale war. When the war starts, even genin will have to go to the battlefield. To improve the combat power of the genin, I'm going to lead a three-man team. You and I are both jonin, you should have received this order too, right?"
Yasu twitched his lips and said: "I am indeed going back to Konoha, but I won't be leading any children."
He had indeed received this order.
But how much combat power can students who have just left the ninja school have? It's not like they are all geniuses like Kakashi Hatake.
Genin who have never experienced combat are just cannon fodder on the battlefield.
Maybe not even cannon fodder.
And he himself is busy enough, he doesn't have time to lead kids to fight.
So, Yasu didn't intend to accept this order at all, and planned to find a reason to refuse it when the time came.
Hearing that he didn't plan to lead a genin team, Minato felt it was only natural: "I thought so, I would find it strange if you would lead a team. You're probably just going back to Konoha to see Kushina."
Yasu frowned and said: "What do you want from me? I don't want to chat with you. If you want to fight me, just say so!"
Minato admitted: "That's right, I did come this time to spare with you. After all, after you go to the land of Grass, we will be separated by two different battlefields, and it will be difficult to see you again, so I wanted to take this opportunity to challenge you again for a spar. I originally wanted to catch up with you first, after all, we have fought side by side in The Land of Hot Water for so many years..."
"Stop, stop!"
Yasu really couldn't listen anymore and interrupted Minato: "Enough, don't say such things to me, what fighting side by side, we haven't fought side by side at all in the past few years, and there's nothing to catch up on with you, so don't say such hypocritical words, it's sends chills to my spine."
He then stood up from the ground, rested his arm on his ninja sword, and said to Minato: "But I also want to see how fast your Flying Thunder God Technique really is, so don't talk so much nonsense, just come."
Minato took out two Flying Thunder God kunai from his ninja pouch.
"I'm ready, Yasu."
"Then let's begin!"
At the instant Yasu's voice fell, Minato threw out the two Flying Thunder God kunai in his hand, attacking him in two different directions.
Yasu activated his Sharingan, observing Minato's Flying Thunder God kunai.
The Flying Thunder God Technique uses a jutsu to achieve instantaneous movement. The user leaves a Flying Thunder God seal on the target in advance, so that the user or objects indirectly in contact with the user's chakra can be instantly moved.
Moreover, the Flying Thunder God Technique can be used for offense, shortening the distance of long-range ninjutsu, disrupting, ambushing opponents, and transferring targets. It can also be used for evasion and escape in times of crisis. It is a very versatile space-time ninjutsu.
Now that Minato has thrown out two Flying Thunder God kunai, it means that he has two choices.
The first choice is to choose one of the two Flying Thunder God kunai to teleport to, and the second choice is not to use the Flying Thunder God, and these two Flying Thunder God kunai are just feints.
But Yasu is not someone who waits to be defeated.
He took the initiative to rush towards the Flying Thunder God kunai closest to him.
In Minato's view, Yasu should have guessed that he would use the Flying Thunder God to teleport to the location of that Flying Thunder God kunai to attack him.
But in that case, Yasu's right rear would be wide open, and as long as he teleported to the location of the other Flying Thunder God kunai, he would have a high probability of successfully attacking him.
Minato was about to activate the Flying Thunder God, but suddenly stopped.
Because based on his understanding of Yasu, Minato believed that Yasu would not sell such an obvious flaw to him.
Especially when Yasu knew the ability of the Flying Thunder God Technique.
So, he forcibly suppressed the urge to use the Flying Thunder God and stayed in place.
The next second.
At the moment when Yasu slashed at the Flying Thunder God kunai in front of him, he launched a large number of shuriken towards his right rear.
If Minato chose to teleport to the location of that Flying Thunder God kunai, he would face a large number of shuriken.
Yasu looked at Minato, who was staying in place, in surprise: "Oh? Did you see through my intentions, or did you just intend to test me first?"
Minato looked at him solemnly.
Seeing his eyes, Yasu smiled: "It seems that you saw through my intentions, it was indeed a bit obvious."
