Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Troublesome Flying Thunder God
Minato saw through Yasu's intentions and did not rashly use Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to the location of the Flying Thunder God kunai to attack him.
In Yasu's view, the Flying Thunder God Technique was indeed quite troublesome, but it wasn't without ways to deal with it.
There was no doubt that the speed of the Flying Thunder God Technique was very fast, because it didn't require hand seals. When used, it directly teleported to the location of the Flying Thunder God mark in an instant, so there was no pause in between. It could be said to be a matter of an instant.
However, after Minato teleports to the location of the Flying Thunder God mark, he needed to rely on his own actions to make an attack.
In this process, there was an opportunity.
However, seizing this opportunity was not a simple matter. One needed to have a fast enough reaction speed to be able to resist or evade Minato's attack.
And to counterattack Minato, one needed to be even faster than his reaction speed.
Besides that, there was another way.
That was like what Yasu did just now, confirming the Flying Thunder God kunai and then predicting the location where Minato would appear.
However, the premise of this method was that there were few enough Flying Thunder God kunai on the field.
Otherwise, if there were too many Flying Thunder God kunai on the field, then Minato could teleport at will. Even if the prediction was successful, he could use the Flying Thunder God Technique again to change his position.
And Minato knew this too, so he took out several more Flying Thunder God kunai and threw them towards Yasu's surroundings.
Yasu slightly bent his body, making the starting stance of First Form: Thunderclap and Flash.
Minato guessed that he intended to use Thunderclap and Flash the moment he teleported to the location of the Flying Thunder God kunai.
However, Minato was also very confident in his current speed.
And he didn't think that Yasu could touch him, even with that move Thunderclap and Flash: Godspeed from before.
This time, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique, teleporting to the location of the two Flying Thunder God kunai that were initially stuck on the ground.
Minato teleported twice, throwing shuriken towards Yasu from various directions.
Yasu activated Observation Haki, and the trajectory of the shuriken was clearly sensed by him.
He evaded the shuriken with the smallest range of motion.
In the next instant, Minato teleported to the location of a speeding Flying Thunder God kunai, grabbed the kunai, and was about to stab him.
The moment Yasu made a move, Minato teleported again, switching to another Flying Thunder God kunai that was speeding through the air and extremely close to Yasu, slashing at him with a backhand.
The stab towards Yasu just now was Minato's feint, wanting to force him to use Thunderclap and Flash.
And the current slash was the real attack.
According to Minato's prediction, if Yasu used Thunderclap and Flash, then his back would already be exposed in front of him.
However, to his surprise, Yasu hadn't used Thunderclap and Flash just now and was still facing him head-on.
There was a "clang" sound.
Yasu's ninja sword struck Minato's kunai.
Before his next slash came, Minato used Flying Thunder God to distance himself from him.
Looking at him not far away, Minato exclaimed: "Yasu, your combat intuition is really as sharp as ever. After discovering that my attack was a feint, you stopped Thunderclap and Flash so timely."
Yasu looked at Minato with a strange expression: "Who told you I was planning to use Thunderclap and Flash just now?"
Minato was stunned for a moment: "Huh? Wasn't it? Then your posture just now..."
Yasu was too lazy to explain and continued to make the slightly bent body posture.
He made this posture only to cooperate with the use of Observation Haki, which could make the body move more quickly, that was all.
The speed of Thunderclap and Flash was very fast, but its mobility was far from enough compared to the Flying Thunder God Technique, so there was no need to use it at all.
Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique again, attacking him several times.
But he only defended, without attacking.
Minato also had no way to deal with him in a full defensive mode.
Whether it was the front or the back, the moment Minato appeared, he also moved instantly, resisting or evading his attack.
Yasu could now be said to be relying entirely on his Observation Haki.
The moment Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear; his Observation Haki could instantly capture his position.
Coupled with his excellent reaction speed, he could timely resist or evade Minato's sneak attacks.
However, Yasu's reaction speed was not faster than Minato's, so he could not make an effective counterattack against him.
Therefore, Yasu simply abandoned offense and focused on defense.
However, he did not completely give up attacking, but was waiting for an opportunity.
When Minato no longer took out Flying Thunder God kunai from his ninja tool pouch and chose to pull out the Flying Thunder God kunai from the ground, he understood that his opportunity had come.
"Thunder Breathing, First Form: Thunderclap and Flash, Eightfold!"
Yasu burst out with lightning all over his body, turning into a bolt of lightning and rushing towards Minato.
"Finally attacking!"
Seeing that Yasu, who had been defending all along, finally made a move, Minato felt a little excited.
He kept using Flying Thunder God to evade.
And Yasu used the surrounding terrain to change his rushing direction multiple times, always attacking the moment Minato appeared.
But he didn't even touch the hem of Minato's clothes.
So, Yasu stopped his attack, stood still, and looked at Minato not far away.
At this time, Minato was very excited.
All along, he had been extremely troubled by Yasu's Thunder Breathing, but now he could finally easily deal with his attack.
Although it was not enough to win against him, at least now Yasu could not defeat him either.
"18."
The number Yasu suddenly said made Minato puzzled: "18?"
Yasu looked at the Flying Thunder God kunai on the ground and said: "You only have 18 Flying Thunder God kunai in total, right?"
Minato looked at his Flying Thunder God kunai on the ground, and suddenly his face changed.
There were now 17 Flying Thunder God kunai stuck on the ground, plus the one in his own hand, making a total of 18 Flying Thunder God kunai.
He suddenly looked up at Yasu's hand, a transparent thread was held in his hand.
Yasu pulled the thread, and the 17 Flying Thunder God kunai on the ground gathered together.
He created a shadow clone, two pairs of scarlet Three-Tomoe Sharingan looked at Minato, and the corners of their mouths curled up: "Now, you only have two Flying Thunder God kunai as a medium for teleportation. In that case, you can't run around everywhere. If you use Flying Thunder God again, I only need to stare at the one in your hand and this pile of Flying Thunder God kunai."
Minato's face sank. Now he understood why Yasu had been defending all along, instead of attacking.
