Minato, who had just gone through a long taijutsu duel, was now separated from Shimuranomiya. He gasped for air.
Minato looked at Shimuranomiya with very solemn eyes. This battle can be said to be Minato's most difficult battle. Because he felt that both sides were evenly matched, and both sides were wind escape ninjas.
"It seems that if you want to defeat Shimura Palace, you must think of some other methods..." Minato secretly thought about countermeasures in his heart.
But Shimura Palace obviously didn't want to give Minato a chance to breathe. He knew that Minato on the opposite side was not a character that could be dealt with casually.
But Shimuramiya was older, so his endurance was naturally much stronger than that of second-year Minato. As long as he drags on and the opponent's energy is exhausted, he will win sooner or later.
So Shimura Palace immediately rushed over again. He wouldn't leave Minato any chance. He needs this win.
After the two sides tested each other, they collided again.
Minato nimbly avoided the opponent's fist, then his body sank quickly, and he punched Shimuranomiya hard in the waist.
Facing this menacing punch, Shimuramiya's expression remained unchanged. He blocked Minato's fist with his right hand, dodged his body to the side, and at the same time quickly raised his left leg and hit Minato's stomach with his knee!
Minato was in pain. Shimuramiya, whose expression remained unchanged, showed no intention of stopping. He quickly straightened his left leg and launched another sharp whip, kicking Minato away hard.
Minato endured the pain, and the moment Shimuramiya hit him with his left leg, he grabbed Shimuramiya's ankle with his right hand, and with the huge impact, he took both of them off the ground.
boom!
The two sides were entangled on the ground, rubbing, panting, and then separated from each other.
Minato stood up and quickly pushed back Shimuranomiya with a whip kick. Shimuramiya quickly retreated, and then began to quickly form seals with both hands at the same time.
"Wind Release Fengqie!"
An extremely sharp wind blade formed in his hand, and then quickly rushed directly towards Minato.
Minato immediately took out a kunai from his ninja bag and prepared to use the kunai in his hand to deflect the small wind blade.
However, how could the Wind Release, which was compressed to the extreme and formed into wind, be bounced away by the kunai.
After the kunai resisted slightly, it was cut open. However, because of this, the wind blade that was originally aimed at Minato's chest was forced to change its direction by Minato.
The wind blade scraped across the clothes on Minato's arm, and then a cut was made, and blood immediately flowed out.
''Watergate! ''The Rope Tree shouted from below.
Uchiha Tatsumi frowned, Minato's handling of this situation could be described as very reckless.
You are so reckless.
How can one use one's own kunai to forcefully catch the opponent's wind escape. At this time, you should quickly avoid it. Or use a substitute technique, then hide and look for opportunities.
If the opponent used the shuriken to launch a long-range attack at this time, how could Minato avoid it
Sure enough, Shimura Palace was overjoyed when he saw Minato using a kunai to catch Fengdun.
Immediately throw out several shurikens.
After the throw, Shimuramiya immediately ran straight towards Minato.
Uchiha Tatsu frowned and looked at Minato. Based on his understanding of Minato, he would not be so stupid. There should be some backup options.
Minato on the stage had no intention of blocking those shurikens.
Minato threw a smoke bomb directly from his ninja bag with his right hand.
Instead of avoiding kunai, you throw smoke bombs
After a burst of smoke dissipated, what was left on the ground was a log shot by the shuriken.
''When did you use the substitution technique! ? ''
Shimuramiya stopped and looked at the log at his feet in shock.
He looked around warily.
Although he didn't know when Namikaze Minato used the substitute technique.
However, he won this one.
''Chen, did you see clearly? Minato, when did he use the Substitute Technique? And what is that smoke bomb for? '' Shengshu asked doubtfully in the audience.
Uchiha Tatsu shook his windbreaker, smiled and said to Naoki, ''Naoki, you are wrong. That's not a substitute technique. Minato was such a genius. ''
''Not a substitute technique? ''
Minato's combat IQ is indeed high, and he is worthy of being the golden spark that will scare his enemies in the future.
''In the back? ''Shimura Palace suddenly looked back.
However, there was still no one.
Something doesn't feel right at Shimura Palace. What's wrong
''Bang. ''The logs on the ground suddenly turned into water gates.
''The wind escapes and the wind cuts. ''Minato quickly formed a seal.
Shimuramiya didn't react, and the wind cut directly through Shimuramiya's hair, cutting off half of his black hair.
Shimura Miya's legs softened and he fell directly to the ground.
If Minato's last blow had just hit him, his life would probably have been lost. It was obvious that Minato's Wind Release was not aimed at him in the end.
However, he also lost.
''This one is Namikaze Minato's victory. ''Orochimaru's hoarse voice sounded.
… … … …
"Minato, are you okay?''
Uchiha Tatsu asked with concern while supporting the staggering Minato.
At this time, the blood on Minato's body kept flowing. This is the reason for bearing Shimuranomiya's shuriken.
Minato deliberately intercepted the wind escape, and then exposed the flaw to Shimuranomiya.
When Shimura threw shurikens, he directly received those shurikens. Then he threw a smoke bomb and used the transformation technique on himself, turning himself into a log.
However, under the obstruction of smoke bombs, Shimuramiya thought that Minato was using a substitute technique and relaxed his vigilance on the logs on the ground.
The strategy is very simple, but during the battle, if you make any mistakes, you will be seen through.
This kind of dangerous move will only be used when one's own strength is insufficient.
However, this is how battles between ninjas happen.
How can we say that every opponent will be weaker than ourselves. Ignoring anything can have fatal consequences.
''Too hard, Minato. Let's go to Tsunade-sama's place and have a look. ''Uchiha Tatsu said.
''Ahaha, I'm going, Chen. ''Minato seemed to be in a good mood after defeating his opponent.
After all, he worked hard to defeat a strong enemy, which was enough for Minato, who was still in the ninja school, to be proud.
At this time, Orochimaru's voice sounded again.
"The third and final game, this battle is just to select the top three. So the next is the last battle."
''Mikoto, come on. ''Uchiha Tatsu touched Mikoto's head.
''Well, Chen. ''Mikoto showed a confident look.
Mikoto has already been told everything that needs to be explained. The rest depends on her own efforts.
After Uchiha Mikoto and Aburame Shiwei stood still on the ring, Orochimaru spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Then, the battle begins!"
Mikoto's attributes are fire and thunder.
As for Mikoto, she has already mastered ninjutsu such as Fireball, which focuses on large-scale strikes. Faced with the parasitic secret technique of the Aburame family, restraint is undoubtedly very obvious.
The battle is about to break out.
