Chapter 24: Minato is really the protagonist

At Konoha's fifth training ground, Xuanwu and Minato stood in the middle of the field. Everyone else was watching quietly from the outside, except for two people.

"Come on, Brother Xuanwu!!!"

Kushina got a flag from somewhere and waved it and cheered.

"Come on, Minato. Defeat Xuanwu and I'll buy you some candy."

Opposing the childish Kushina was the even more childish Tsunade, who was also waving a flag, and more vigorously than Kushina.

The two women are actually competing with each other, neither of them is giving in to the other, but are you two supporting the opposite side?

Seeing Tsunade supporting Minato, Xuanwu was extremely angry. Minato was also very hurt when he saw Kushina supporting Xuanwu.

"Brother Xuanwu, I'm about to start."

Minato is a polite child and will inform before attacking.

Akimichi Xuanwu drew a circle under his feet and said, "Come on, come on, use all your strength. As long as you can get me out of this circle, you win."

"I will work hard."

He added in his mind, "I must behave well in front of Kushina."

Minato's expression changed, and he lost his usual gentle image. He looked extremely focused and rushed towards Xuanwu.

The two of them got close, Minato stabbed Xuanwu with his kunai, and the latter raised his arm to block, "It's so hard, did Xuanwu use his Haki right away?"

Minato's kunai stabbed into his arm, but it couldn't break the defense at all. "Should I use Haki to attach to increase the strength and attack power of the kunai? But with my current physical and mental strength, I can only mobilize a small amount of Haki, and it won't last long. Moreover, although Haki can increase attack power, it consumes a lot of energy. Using it now will seriously affect my endurance."

After rejecting the idea of ​​using Haki, he changed his mindset. Since Kunai alone couldn't break the defense, then...

There is a faint wind attribute chakra attached to the kunai blades in Minato's hands. A kid under the age of 7 has actually learned how to change the nature of chakra. That's not all. He can also accurately control the wind attribute chakra to only attach to the blades to reduce chakra consumption. Can you believe it?

Then he began to attack Xuanwu from all angles, but Xuanwu still fought him with bare hands.

Jiraiya said, "Is Minato really only seven years old?"

Tsunade was very proud, "Of course, he is a little genius, do you regret not following my bet?"

"Brother Xuanwu will definitely win, humph."

Kushina was not happy.

"It's Minato."

Tsunade didn't give in to her at all.

"It's Brother Xuanwu."

"It's Minato."

The two of them got closer and closer, until their foreheads touched each other, fire flashed in their eyes, and Kushina's hair even fluttered slightly. The smell of gunpowder around them was stronger than that of Genbu and Minato in the field.

"Humph!"

Just when everyone thought that the two of them were going to have a fight, they both spoke at the same time, then turned their heads away, crossed their arms over their chests, and ignored each other.

Jiraiya was in no mood to care about these two childish ghosts, and said to Orochimaru: "Orochimaru, could you do this when you were seven years old?"

Orochimaru shook his head, "Not only me, I think Sarutobi Sensei can't do it either. But compared to him, I am more interested in Xuanwu-kun."

"Yes, he used his body to block the wind blade's cut without any damage. Although it is because Minato's wind attribute chakra is not strong enough, but even so, his physical strength is too terrifying."

Jiraiya said as he looked at Xuanwu who was only wearing an orange training suit (the same as Goku's).

He can do it too. With earth-attribute chakra, he can perform hardening technique. However, although hardening technique can increase body strength, it will greatly reduce body flexibility. It is obvious that the Xuanwu in the field is not using hardening technique.

"I always feel that there is an amazing power in Xuanwu Jun's body."

As a scientist, Orochimaru was obviously more perceptive. He licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue and became more interested in Akimichi Genbu.

......

The scene switches to the battlefield, where Minato has been attacking Akimichi Genbu at a high intensity for over 10 minutes, but with little success.

He took a few steps back, still maintaining a fighting stance.

He knelt on one knee, crossed his arms over his chest, held the kunai in his hands, and his hot breath formed a mist when it met the cold air. After all, he was less than seven years old, and the burden of continuous high-intensity attack was still too great.

"Oh, that won't do. Even with your stamina, it won't work. Whoever becomes your wife in the future will be in trouble."

Minato directly gave him two smoke bombs.

"Wind escape, wind cutting technique", several huge wind blades shot towards Xuanwu, and the huge wind blades slashed at him, sparks appeared, but in the end they still failed to break his defense. Only a few white marks were left.

Minato's attack did not stop. He used his shadow clone again. The shadow clone rushed towards Xuanwu in the smoke. After reaching the attack distance, he directly used the ninjutsu, "Wind Style, Beast Wave Palm". A high-intensity wind blade hit Xuanwu's stomach, but it did not hurt.

The shadow clone was dispersed by Xuanwu's backhand, but Minato had already moved behind Xuanwu with the cover of smoke and the shadow clone's attack, "Wind Escape, Vacuum Sword".

The wind-attribute chakra attached to the kunai has materialized into an extremely sharp sword, which slashed at Akimichi Genbu's back. This time, Minato finally broke Akimichi Genbu's defense, but it only left a red mark on his skin, without even bleeding.

"Brother Xuanwu is really tough."

Seeing that his attack only caused such little damage, Minato Namikaze felt helpless.

Dodging the giant hand of Akimichi Genbu, Namikaze Minato retreated to a safe distance again. He was really tired. He was only 7 years old and had been fighting for so long and had used several advanced ninjutsu. Although his chakra was far beyond that of his peers, it was almost exhausted so far. Not everyone is as good at chakra as Genbu at such a young age.

The smoke dissipated, revealing Xuanwu's figure. This attack did have a certain impact on him. At least his shirt had been cut into pieces by the wind blade, revealing the strong figure hidden in the clothes.

Tsunade couldn't help but take a few more glances, "Xuanwu-kun has a really nice figure."

"Minato, you can't resist such a simple stimulation, haha."

"Brother Xuanwu, you really have bad intentions. You told me that men should not say they are incompetent, and you gave me all kinds of explanations. Now you use these words to deliberately make me angry and attack you, wasting my chakra."

"This is called all is fair in war. How are you? Are you almost exhausted?"

"The following is my last move. If I still can't do anything to Brother Xuanwu, I can only admit defeat."

"Come on, come on, brother, I am indestructible, show me your dominance."

Genbu took it for granted that Minato was going to use Haki for the final blow, so he finally assumed a fighting stance.

Stand sideways with your feet apart, with the front toe slightly turned inward and the back toe facing diagonally, with the front heel slightly off the ground. Bend your knees slightly, lower your center of gravity, and bend your arms naturally. Place your left fist in front of you, slightly below your eyes, with the fist facing diagonally forward. Place your right fist on the side of your neck and jaw, keeping your elbows clamped.

It was obvious that Xuanwu wanted to take this move head-on.

Minato adjusted his breathing, took out the last smoke bomb and threw it at his feet.

"Hide your figure?"

Soon, a "whoosh whoosh" sound was heard in the smoke. Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar sound, Xuanwu was speechless, "No way, you have learned this ninjutsu too. Are you the protagonist or am I the protagonist?"
