Naruto: Five Lives, Five Times the Excitement

Chapter 249 Rasa vs. Minato Namikaze

Without any unexpected problems, Kyosuke successfully left the barrier and arrived outside Mount Ashikura.

By the time the Sand Ninja began fighting desperately and destroyed all the shadow clones, Kyosuke's original body could no longer be found.

Not long after, Kyosuke and Kakashi reunited. Everyone was happy and relieved to have completed their mission safely.

After finding a safe hiding place, everyone began to treat their injuries. After resting for a few hours, they began to retreat to the base camp.

At the same time, Konoha's main force also began its attack.

On a mountain peak, Mi Shou's shadow clone sat cross-legged, his right hand stroking the hilt of the sword at his waist, his left hand supporting his chin, watching the war movie in the distance with great interest.

"What a spectacular show! The various killing techniques used on the battlefield have reached the level of art."

A few days ago, Yamori decided to go to the battlefield to secretly help Sensuke, and then he ran into trouble.

He severely offended the Daimyo of the Land of Fire by stealing a large amount of chakra metal. The wealthy and powerful Daimyo not only gave Konoha a mission, but also placed a bounty on the gold exchange.

With the power of money, all of Mi Shou's information was exposed, and he was relentlessly pursued by both the legitimate and criminal worlds.

Under normal circumstances, Mi Shou would welcome everyone to come and hunt him down.

Firstly, it allows one to hone their combat skills through real-world experience.

Secondly, it can make money. Some of the pursuers have bounties on their heads, which can be exchanged for money.

Thirdly, Kiichiro's experiments also require materials, and with more pursuers, he can always find some good experimental materials.

Fourthly, killing people occasionally can cultivate one's character, relieve stress, and benefit one's physical and mental health.

It achieves four goals at once; it's beautiful.

However, now that we're going to help, we can't afford to be harassed, and we must try our best to hide ourselves so that people with ulterior motives don't guess about Mi Shou's connection with others.

After much effort and many twists and turns, Mi Shou finally arrived at the battlefield in time.

I learned from Chisuke that the commander of the Sand Village was Rasa, and Mikami sent a shadow clone to the battlefield to gather information about Rasa.

Rasa is Chisuke's enemy, which means he is also the enemy of Yamori and the others, so he naturally needs to be paid close attention to.

This is a great opportunity. In the fierce battle between Konoha and Sunagakure, Rasa will surely show all his strength.

The Sand Ninja, outnumbered and caught off guard by Konoha's surprise attack, suffered heavy losses at first and their defenses were almost breached.

Rasa led a group of elite Sand Ninja to take timely action, which temporarily halted Konoha's offensive.

"He is the enemy's commander, Rasa. According to intelligence, he possesses Magnet Release, making him extremely difficult to deal with."

On a high ground behind the battlefield, Nara Shikaku faced the battlefield, watching Rasa slaughter Konoha ninjas, and introduced Rasa to Namikaze Minato with a blank expression.

On the battlefield, Rasa's attacks were extremely swift, and one Konoha ninja after another fell at his feet, almost pushing the battle line back.

"I'll take care of him; you can command the battlefield."

Minato Namikaze left behind a sentence and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already behind Rasa, and his right Rasengan was about to hit Rasa's head.

"Success!"

Upon seeing this, a Konoha ninja showed an excited expression.

Before the war began, Minato Namikaze distributed over a dozen kunai to some Jonin captains.

These kunai are imbued with the Flying Thunder God Technique. If they encounter a powerful enemy they cannot handle, these Jonin captains will throw out the kunai, and Minato Namikaze can use the Flying Thunder God Technique to provide instant support.

This Konoha ninja was one of the Jonin who obtained the special kunai. He saw Rasa rampaging across the battlefield, killing a large number of Konoha ninjas, and bravely went to fight him. During the battle, he found a suitable opportunity and casually threw out the special kunai.

He did this to lull Rasa into a false sense of security, creating a better opportunity for Minato Namikaze to strike.

After all, Minato Namikaze's appearance in different locations has completely different effects.

Rasa dodged the kunai and flew to a position above and behind Rasa, giving Minato Namikaze a great opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

In the eyes of this Konoha ninja, his strategy had paid off. Minato Namikaze's Rasengan was only one meter away from Rasa, and he could kill Rasa in the blink of an eye.

Just as he was feeling happy, the Konoha ninja felt a sharp pain in his heart as a triangular cone made of iron sand pierced through his heart.

Rasa suddenly lowered his head, and the triangular pyramid, covered in bits of flesh and blood, shot towards Minato Namikaze behind him.

Minato Namikaze had no choice but to abandon his attack on Rasa, and the Rasengan struck the triangular pyramid.

With a loud bang, the triangular pyramid collapsed, and countless iron filings flew around the two men.

"Magnetic Release: Iron Sand Rain!"

Rasa took a step back, dodging Minato Namikaze's attack. He then formed a hand seal, manipulating the surrounding iron sand into long, thin needles that shot towards Minato from all directions.

Minato Namikaze immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique to reach a distance of several dozen meters and stand opposite Rasa.

The Sand Ninja and Konoha Ninja consciously moved away from the area around the two, giving them enough space to fight.

"Minato Namikaze, against Magnet Release, you can only jump around like a clown; you have no chance to hurt me at all."

Luo Sha slightly raised his hands, and the iron sand floated up like dust, condensing into sea urchins covered with sharp spines, covering all the space around him and forming a defensive barrier with a diameter of more than ten meters.

Sea urchins are only a few centimeters apart, making it absolutely impossible for humans to pass between them.

If Minato Namikaze used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport near Rasa, he wouldn't have a chance to attack and would be seriously injured.

Seeing this, Mi Shou's eyes lit up.

"The Flying Thunder God Technique can teleport instantly, but there is a prerequisite: there must be space for the user to teleport. Rasa used iron sand to compress the surrounding space, which to some extent did limit the Flying Thunder God Technique. Good idea, we might need it in the future."

Then, Mi Shou's expression turned serious.

"Compared to our last encounter, Rasa has become much stronger, and he's using Magnet Release much more skillfully. Sensuke is in for trouble. I hope Minato Namikaze can step up his game and kill Rasa here, which would save us a lot of trouble."

As Mikami spoke, Minato Namikaze put away his kunai, bit his finger, and used a summoning jutsu.

"Bunta, thank you for your help this time."

A giant toad appeared, and upon hearing Minato Namikaze's words, took a deep drag on its pipe, puffing out a cloud of smoke from its massive pipe.

"Leave this small matter to me! Let's go!"

Gamabunta leaped into the air, drew his short sword from his waist in mid-air, and slashed fiercely at Rasa in front of him.

The sharp spines of those sea urchins are extremely dangerous to humans, but they are nothing to the giant toad Gamabunta.

Even if you get stung by a sea urchin, it will only cause superficial injury.

"Trying to break through my defenses with a summoned beast?"

Rasa didn't dare to take Bunta's attack head-on, so he flew back and began to counterattack.

More iron sand condensed, forming an even larger triangular pyramid, which shot towards Gamabunta.

Gamabunta landed, his short sword slashing the ground and sending up a flurry of flying stones.

Sea urchins shot at Gamabunta from all around, causing many wounds. Gamabunta remained calm, swung his sword upwards, and slashed at the flying triangular pyramid.

"Humph!"

Feeling the force coming from the triangular pyramid, Gamabunta grunted, placed his left hand on the back of the sword, and braced himself with his feet to withstand the impact.

Minato Namikaze completed the hand seals above Bunta's head.

"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"
