Chapter 448 Another battle with Nagato
"Isn't it about time we set off?"
"We must strike a blow to Akatsuki's arrogance today."
After watching Rope Tree leave, Minato turned sideways and said this to Huang Tu and Lao Zi who were standing beside him.
His face was full of determination and his words were powerful.
"That's natural."
Huang Tu did not spoil the fun, and continued with Minato's words with a smile.
"I'll make arrangements."
Lao Zi resisted the urge to throw cold water on him and walked quickly towards the center of the camp.
It's not that he wants to destroy his own prestige, he's just a little traumatized by the beating from Nagato.
He has never been so powerless in front of someone!!!
"Um, Minato-kun."
"Do you think it would be better if our personnel could be under unified command?"
Huang Tu walked beside Minato and after some hesitation he spoke out his thoughts.
He knows that sometimes when two teams are together, the sum of their parts may not be greater than their total.
"You have a point. Let's just make do with it for now."
"Let's wait until they are more familiar with each other."
Minato made up a fairly reasonable excuse to get away with it.
Is this a joke, two teams mixed together?
Are the ninjas of Konoha and Akatsuki really going to fight to the death?
"alright."
After all, he was asking for help, so Huang Tu agreed reluctantly.
At least if they fight on their own, it won't affect the combat effectiveness of their respective teams, and he can barely accept it.
The two chatted for about half a minute, each with their own thoughts. The Rock Ninja team gradually gathered together, and Lao Zi came to them again.
"Everyone is here, let's go."
Huang Tu and Minato greeted each other, and under their orders, the two teams began to move aimlessly.
"Akatsuki's spies wouldn't be that blind, would they?"
It had been a long time since departure, and Lao Zi couldn't help complaining.
Still no trace of Akatsuki was found.
"Don't worry, it's impossible for a target as big as ours to go undetected."
Minato was confident and was still thinking about what the scene would be like when he met Nagato again.
"Correct."
"Maybe Xiao Ren is hiding somewhere right now, thinking about how to eat us."
Huangtu looked around and spoke seriously.
"Haha, I'm just worried they won't come."
Minato laughed out loud, and Lao Zi looked at him and didn't say anything else.
The troops continued to march forward without stopping, and everyone's spirits were tense.
In the distance, Nagato's lips curled up into a smile.
Senior Brother Minato is really here!!!
"What is a person laughing at?"
But his every move could not escape Nono's eyes.
"Brother Minato is here."
"It looks like they are trying to lure us out."
Nagato had received the news from Kawakaze and had been waiting these days.
"Really? Then you have to act well."
Nono's eyes lit up. If the Iwagakure didn't have any more support, this show would almost be impossible to continue.
"It must."
"Assemble and prepare to attack."
Nagato jumped down from the hill and led the high-spirited team towards Minato.
Nakamura Daiki howled excitedly like a wolf, finally finding those wimps of the Iwagakure ninja.
"Please accept my greeting gift."
As the distance got closer, Nagato used the ability of Shurado to launch several rockets at the Iwagakure team.
The rocket spewed flames and rushed away, and the Akatsuki ninja behind him also quickened his pace.
"coming."
Minato suddenly stopped, and his powerful perception ability allowed him to detect Nagato's attack at the first moment.
Although judging from the trajectory of the chakra fluctuations it's not aimed at the Konoha team, it doesn't matter anyway.
But Minato still decided to show off, so that any minor mistakes later on could serve as evidence.
"The Big Ball Rasengan."
Minato dodged with a flash of his body, and the ball in his hand expanded rapidly and collided with several rockets.
bang~
There was a huge explosion, deafening.
"Small means."
Retreating back to Yellow Earth and Old Purple, Minato's tone was dismissive.
"Don't underestimate the enemy. He can do more than that."
Huang Tu's face was as gloomy as water, and he looked at the direction where the rocket came from with a serious look.
"Let's go at him together. I don't believe three of us can't beat him."
Lao Zi said harsh words but took a defensive stance.
The morale of the Iwagakure ninja was already low, and the team was a little disorganized for a while, and the Konoha ninjas who were new to the battlefield had not yet calmed down.
"Then come on."
Minato didn't take Nagato by force, and he wouldn't do it even if he could.
In that case, Huang Tu and Lao Zi, who have freed their hands, will bring a devastating blow to Xiao Ren.
"superior."
Following the responses from Lao Zi and Huang Tu, Nagato was the first to appear in everyone's sight.
"Attack in groups."
Minato threw down a sentence and disappeared again without waiting for Huang Tu and Lao Zi to respond.
While he was moving, he scattered the special kunai in all directions, and the distance between him and Nagato was getting closer and closer.
Huang Tu and Lao Zi attacked Nagato from the left and right respectively.
"Do you think that a large number of ants can kill an elephant?"
"It seems that you still don't understand the gap between us."
Nagato sneered, showing no intention of retreating.
The next moment, the four of them started fighting. Nagato was the third one, and with the extra mechanical arms, he was not at all inferior in close combat.
"Rasengan."
Minato was knocked back by a punch from the mechanical arm, and he stepped forward again and aimed a Rasengan at Nagato's chest.
Looking at the way he gnashed his teeth, he seemed to wish he could kill Nagato directly. No one could tell that the two of them were in the same group.
Huang Tu and Lao Zi attacked even faster upon seeing this, and every punch and kick was extremely vicious.
"ridiculous."
Nagato sneered, making his defense watertight, and even freed up one hand to absorb all of Minato's Rasengan.
"What a tough opponent."
The Rasengan failed, and Minato and his two companions distanced themselves from Nagato. At this time, the fight among their ninjas had already begun.
The three teams fought together, shouts of killing were heard one after another, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
"The yellow-haired boy next to Tsunade?"
"I said, when did you Iwagakure recognize Konoha as your father?"
It was as if Nagato had just recognized Minato's identity, and his next sentence was full of sarcasm.
Hearing this, Minato almost couldn't help laughing out loud, wondering when did Nagato become so poisonous?
"Fuck you."
"You are allowed to betray us and join forces with the Cloud Ninja, but Konoha is not allowed to support us, the Rock Ninja?"
Lao Zi's face immediately turned red. If he couldn't defeat him, he would have wanted to tear Nagato apart.
"Betrayal? Not really."
"You know clearly what you were thinking at the beginning."
Nagato looked at Lao Zi and chuckled, not angry at all.
"It's no use talking more."
"Today I will vent my anger for Lord Hokage."
Minato took a step forward and stopped them from talking nonsense, as he was afraid that he would actually burst out laughing.
"Tsunade is not my opponent, how can you?"
Nagato casually stretched out his finger and lightly tapped Minato, his arrogant attitude clearly showing that he did not take Minato seriously.
