I teach kendo in the ninja world

Foggy Village.

Water Shadow Building.

Next door to Mizukage's office.

Kana's [Sealing Yin Formation] is finally finished.

Because it was only a preliminary effect test, the range she painted was not too large. Those winding runes like tadpoles and earthworms only covered a space of about two meters in radius.

Naturally, it is not enough to be used as a fighting venue. A single teleportation spell can escape the scope of the sealing array.But after all, it is just testing the perceptual isolation effect, so it can barely be used.

As a tester, Araki took the initiative to walk into the sealing array area.

"let's start."

Kana formed a seal with her hands, and all the runes on the ground lit up at the same time.

Araki, who was in the center of the magic circle, instantly felt that the perception he had released was like hitting a wall, and was actually pushed back.

There is no impact within this two-meter radius, but if you want to continue to explore outside, you often hit the wall, as if there is an invisible and unshakable barrier surrounding you like a high wall.

high wall?

Thinking of this, he spread his perception to the sky above his head and asked: "Does this magic circle have a roof?"

"top?"

Kana asked in confusion, and then she understood after seeing Araki's gesture pointing to the sky, "Yes, the height of this sealing formation is also two meters."

Sure enough, Araki's senses touched the invisible ceiling not far away.

After checking it inch by inch, he found that there was really no gap to get through, whether it was above his head or under his feet, including all around, so he nodded with satisfaction.

The first step of testing is completed.

Then he flicked his finger and shot out a small thunder pill.

It is the necessary prop [Thunder Wedge] to assist the sword skill [Star Return].

[Sealing Yin Magical Circle] only targets perception, and is completely defenseless in terms of physics and ninjutsu, so this [Thunder Wedge] flew out of the range of the magic circle smoothly.

The next second, Araki's figure flashed away and appeared directly at the [Thunder Wedge] position.

The sealing formation is useless.

"What's going on? This seal is actually useless?"

Goji Yagura frowned upon seeing this.

Although the internal principles may be different, since Araki's space transfer cannot be blocked, how effective can it be when facing the [Flying Thunder God Technique]?

"It's not like that..."

Araki walked back and muttered: "The position I teleported to [Thunder Wedge] is not just determined by perception. The connection between us is even closer, a bit similar to the blood contract induction of necromancy." . Let’s do this, Chana, you try giving me another contract seal.”

[Contract Seal] was developed by the Uzumaki clan, specifically targeting enemies with powerful psychic beasts.

Its effect is to forcibly cut off the contractual relationship between the enemy and the psychic beast, so that the psychic beast is no longer controlled by the enemy, or the enemy can no longer summon the psychic beast.

This sealing technique is much more convenient than the [Sealing Yin Array]. There is no need to lie on the ground to carve any runes.

Kana came over and pressed her palm between Araki's chest and abdomen. The spell began to spread from her palm, and the seal was quickly completed.

Then Araki walked into the range of [Sealing Yin Array] again and popped out [Thunder Wedge] again.

chi chi-

The small thunder pill flew out of the range of the magic circle with its unique subtle electric sound. Araki took advantage of the situation and activated [Star Return], but found that he could not move.

You can obviously see the [Thunder Wedge], but you can't move yourself there.

Some deep connection between him and [Thunder Wedge] was severed.

"Okay."

After several unsuccessful attempts, he came to a conclusion.

"Necromanticism is a summoning ninjutsu known to be able to span the longest distance. The connection between the blood contract is much closer than perception. The combination of the Yin-sealing magic circle and the contract seal should be able to completely block the [Flying Thunder God] Technique]. But Namikaze Minato will not give you the opportunity to press the seal directly on his stomach..."

Araki looked at Kana, "It would be best to make the contract seal into the shape of a magic circle and nest it with the [Sealing Yin Magic Circle]. Can it be done?"

"Okay, that's not a problem."

Kana agreed happily, "These sealing techniques were originally magic circles. The seal formed instantly with a slap, but it was just a simplified operation after a long period of research. It is very simple to restore it to the magic circle form."

"very good."

Araki nodded, "Then the second question. Although this magic circle can hinder the [Flying Thunder God Technique], it can't stop Namikaze Minato from running out on his own. Even without the space ninjutsu, his teleportation technique is still unique. , it is difficult for us to trap him within a certain range and prevent him from leaving. So it is best to find an environment that is difficult to escape from, such as a cave or a crypt. Or..."

He thought about it and felt that it would be a bit difficult to trap Namikaze Minato relying on the natural terrain.

First of all, those places themselves make people wary, and it is not easy to invite people over.

And even if they were in a cave, if Minato Namikaze sent a rasengan down, all the caves would probably collapse.

Although the Rasengan cannot break the defense of the Third Raikage, it does not mean that it is not powerful enough.

Except for a few defensive ninjutsu such as [Thunder Armor] and [Earth Spear], generally jounin will lose combat effectiveness immediately after being attacked.

And Minato Namikaze doesn't completely understand the sealing technique. Although he may not be as good as Kana, he can definitely think of a way to break the seal by destroying the runes of the sealing array.

If the cave collapses, then the sealing runes they carved will probably not be spared either, and they will no longer be able to defeat each other.

Thinking of this, he added: "We also need to prevent Minato Namikaze from destroying the patterns of the sealing circle."

"In this way, the difficulty will be greatly increased."

Goji Yagura held his chin in thought, "This sealing array itself has no defensive capabilities at all, and the opponent is famous for its super mobility. It is difficult for us to guarantee that we can keep an eye on him."

"...Otherwise, add a sealing formation that has relatively strong defensive capabilities into it?"

Chana thought for a while and asked tentatively.

"Huh? You want to say..."

"Four Scarlet Sun Arrays."

Kana did not show off and expressed her thoughts directly, "The Four Red Sun Formation requires four people to set up formations in the four directions of east, west, north and south. After the formation is completed, a rectangular red transparent flame barrier will be opened, which can target the target. Completely isolated from the outside world, neither outsiders can enter the barrier, nor enemies inside the barrier can escape. The barrier is covered with red flames, and once you touch the four walls of the barrier, you will be burned by the flames. The strength is even enough to easily withstand the Tailed Beast Jade, but the requirements for those setting up the formation are a little high."

"what do you need?"

Yagura asked.

"This formation consumes a lot of chakra, so the person setting up the formation must have a chakra that is not inferior to the five shadows."

"The amount of chakra is not inferior to that of the Five Shadows..."

Goju Yagura touched his chin and counted softly, "Araki is one, Kana you can also be counted as one, Kisame is still in the Demon Country and cannot come back, but Bubbles can also be counted as one? That makes three, And then add myself?”

"The bubble is a bit forced, isn't it? Can he control Vulpix now?"

Araki raised some objections.

As a six-tailed jinchuriki, although Bubble was directly accepted as a disciple by Goju Yagura, due to his age and still attending ninja school, Araki didn't have much contact with him.

If you think of him as a Vulpix, the amount of chakra is naturally not an issue.

But considering that Bubble is still in ninja school, it's really worrying how much control he has over Vulpix.

What if the Vulpix escapes due to excessive chakra consumption in the middle?

The fact that Vulpix escaped is not a problem in itself, it is just Vulpix, and some people can catch it again.But if it affects the layout of the [Four Red Sun Formation] and allows Namikaze Minato to escape, that would be bad.

So to be on the safe side, Araki doesn't want to bring in an unstable factor.

"But if we don't bring bubbles, even if we include me, we won't be able to gather four ninjas with such a huge amount of chakra!"

Goji Yagura is worried.

Chakra measurement actually depends more on talent.

Take Kisame Kisaki for example. When he was a genin, his chakra capacity was probably comparable to that of the Five Kages.Of course, large quantities come from large quantities, and strength are two different things.

But there are also people, even if they really inherit the name of Kage, their chakra capacity may be very worrying, and it may lower the average chakra line of the five Kage levels.

"Black Bone should be fine."

Araki said suddenly.

Kaguya Black Bone is now the treasure of the Kaguya clan. After gathering the corpse veins and Byakugan, he has awakened his bloodline for the second time and returned to his ancestors. His physique can be said to be the closest to the outsider of the Otsutsuki clan in the entire ninja world.

"Black Bones? This is a good candidate."

Yagura was stunned for a moment, then nodded suddenly.

Because Kaguya Hei Gu stayed in the clan to optimize genes during this period and hadn't appeared for a long time, so he didn't think about it for a while.

Now that I think about it, it's really just right, but it may take some effort to convince the Kaguya clan to let him go.

But after all, they are only participating in the formation and not participating in the battle, so the risk is not too great.

"In this case, the formation will be composed of you, me, Kana and Hei Gu?"

"As a Mizukage, you have received too much attention. Logically speaking, you should not leave the village casually."

Araki rubbed his eyebrows, trying to find another candidate who could replace Goji Yagura.

But after thinking about it, even the chakra amounts of Qianyue Qianyue, Kaguya Cyborg, and Xiuhei may not reach the standard, let alone someone like Goju Yagura who still has a lot of surplus.

After thinking for a while, he couldn't find any other qualified candidates. Araki sighed: "There are still not enough talents!" It was actually difficult to gather a few ninjas who could arrange the [Four Red Sun Formation].

Terumi Mei is qualified to participate in the future, but now she is still far away.

"Forget it, let's go take a look at the bubble, let Kana check the seal status for him, and then we go to the training ground to practice. If he can maintain the [Four Red Sun Formation] for at least 10 minutes, he can go in your place. .”

At that time, it is tentatively scheduled to have an iron cage battle in the multiple sealing formations between Namikaze Minato and AB brothers.

Under such circumstances, the battle between them shouldn't last too long.

10 minutes is enough to decide victory or defeat, life or death.

If Brother AB is really not confident, he wouldn't mind stepping in to replace one of them.

……

……

Ultimately, the performance of the bubble was a pleasant surprise.

Perhaps because of the careful teachings of Goju Yagura, the only perfect jinchuriki in the entire ninja world, he avoided many detours and accurately grasped the essence of the relationship between jinchuriki and tailed beasts.

The relationship between the two is not slavery, oppression or confrontation, but a life-and-death partnership.

Therefore, although he cannot fully control the power of the tailed beasts, the Vulpix almost never goes out of control and becomes violent in his body.

It's great to blow bubbles.

At a young age, he has already shown the perfect jinchūriki!

Under such circumstances, there was no problem with the rehearsal. Let alone 10 minutes, the four of them even lasted for half an hour without blushing or out of breath.

Thus, the Namikaze Minato hunting operation officially began.

……

……

In the northern border of the Fire Country, Yunyin Village Camp.

Kirabi was suddenly startled, as if he had received some message. He paused in silence for a while, and then walked into Ai's room with a happy face.

"Brother, there is good news."

After Kirabi entered, he found that there were other ninjas in the room reporting work, so he winked at Ai.

Ai understood immediately and dismissed the ninja in front of him with a few words. Then he stepped back and asked in a low voice, "Quick, tell me in detail."

"Araki and the others have arrived at the northeastern border of the Land of Fire, but for the sake of confidentiality, they did not approach our camp and Konoha's. Instead, they prepared at the selected ambush location. What we need to do now is how to lure Namikaze Minato past."

Kirabi recounted the news he had just received from the clone.

"Do they really have a way to deal with the flying thunder god's technique? Can it be guaranteed to be foolproof?"

Ai's tone was very excited.

"There should be no problem. They used three sets of sealing formations nested inside each other, and they also dispatched four strong men to assist. It seems that they are bound to win."

Kirabi nodded confidently.

"That's good!"

Ai couldn't help but bumped his left and right fists against each other, then immediately turned around and returned to his seat, picking up a pen to write.

His method of inviting Namikaze Minato was very simple, that is, he directly wrote a letter inviting him to help find traces of the Third Raikage.

After all, judging from the last traces, the Third Raikage was undoubtedly taken away by someone using space ninjutsu.

Whether Konoha wanted to cover up the traces he had left, or to blame others, personally participating in the search was the most convenient way.

They should not be able to resist such temptation.

……

……

Leaf Camp.

Seeing the Kumogakure messenger delivering Ai's letter, Namikaze Minato, Jiraiya and Shimura Danzo gathered together for a small meeting.

"The letter said that they once again found traces of the Raikage near the northeastern border, but the last trace disappeared out of thin air again, so they wanted me to help see if I could analyze anything valuable. clues."

Namikaze Minato looked at the letter on the table and first expressed his opinion, "I think you can go. They will take the initiative to ask us for help, indicating that they no longer regard us as the confirmed murderers. This is an opportunity to deepen the relationship between the two parties. . If I can really help them find the Third Raikage, then the two sides can even turn enemies into friends and form an alliance."

Danzo, on the other hand, looked at the location of the northeastern border thoughtfully: "Northeast, to the north is the Kingdom of Thunder, and to the east is the Kingdom of Water. Could it be that the Kirigakure Village is really responsible for the Raikage's disappearance?"

Then he raised his head and looked at Minato, with a sinister smile on his face, "Even if we can't find the Raikage, as long as we find a way to dump this blame on Kirigakure Village, then we may also improve our relationship with Kumogakure."

Danzo's statement made Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato frown.

Especially Jiraiya, he has been working hard to promote the Five Nations Alliance, and he abhors behaviors like Danzo's.

"No! Don't do these unflattering things. The culprit that caused Raikage's disappearance may be a secret organization that has been hidden deep in the ninja world."

After refuting Danzo verbally, he expressed his previous guess, "Do you still remember the previous Wooden Ninja attack that occurred on Turtle Island in the Land of Thunder?"

"Of course I remember. It is said that it was to fight for Nagato. Kumogakure always thought that it was our people who did it. This is also the fundamental reason why they declared war on us."

Namikaze Minato said.

"Yes, we were still fighting a naval battle with Kirigakure Village at that time. This was the trigger for Kirigakure Village to join the war so quickly."

Jiraiya nodded solemnly, "We have explained this matter, but no one believed it. But we must know that the so-called Wooden ninjas, except Tsunade, although Kazamatsu Masaki and Haruno Ouya are also It was successfully awakened, but the power was not even stronger than the ordinary Five Elements Escape Technique, let alone the power of the first generation of adults. It was not enough to support scenes like the rumored Battle of Turtle Island.

"Also, Minato and I were both eyewitnesses to the assassination of the Third Mizukage. Although it is difficult to argue with this incident because we actually took action twice, but ask yourself, Minato, how much damage did you cause to the Third Mizukage? How about it?"

Namikaze Minato frowned and thought about it, "Although he was hit by a Rasengan from me, he escaped very quickly, and he also attended the Chuunin Exam of the Land of Thunder normally. I guess the injury was not too serious."

"That's right. When Tsunade and I finally infiltrated, we couldn't see the third Mizukage's face at all. We only knew that he was assassinated and the murderer was said to be a wood escape ninja."

Jiraiya continued, "So there must be something happening in the middle that we don't know about. The so-called wood escape is completely a means of framing our Konoha, just like this time's space ninjutsu."

"Sigh~"

After listening to Jiraiya's words, Namikaze Minato took a deep breath, "So Jiraiya-sensei, you suspect that this unknown organization did what happened to the Third Raikage?"

This is a bit scary...

First it was the Third Mizukage, and then the Third Raikage. The targets this organization chose to attack were all big shots who stood at the top of the ninja world. They could hit the target with one hit, leaving no trace at all, and they could accurately put the blame on the tree. leaves on the head.

Who is so heartbroken?

"So what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that not only do you want to go this time, but you also have to be more careful. If possible, you'd better take care of the ninjas on Kumogakure's side. If after you meet this time, the son of the Third Raikage also disappears. If so, then we won’t be able to argue with you at all. Yunyin Village will also fight us to the death!”

Jiraiya warned, "If you find anything or need help, please contact me in time and I will arrive immediately."

"Understood, please don't worry, Jiraiya-sensei, I have the Flying Thunder God Technique, so I won't be in danger no matter what."

Namikaze Minato nodded, his blue eyes full of confidence.
