At that instant.
The entire scene became exceptionally intense.
In mid-air, Minato Namikaze and Uchiha Chiri's main bodies were engaged in a thrilling, entangled battle.
Chidori and Rasengan clashed!
The extreme speed of Chidori Shuriken and the transfer of Flying Thunder God Kunai.
Yellow and blue collided.
The entire process was incredibly fast.
Aside from Uchiha Tenxiu, who could clearly see the battle, even an Elite Jonin like Yamato could only get a general idea, unable to fully comprehend or devise countermeasures, let alone Sara nearby, who stared wide-eyed, witnessing this Ninja battle.
"Is this what a Ninja is?! So, so powerful…" Sara couldn't help but cover her mouth, pressing tightly against Uchiha Tenxiu's side.
As a Queen.
Although she was accustomed to grand spectacles in her daily life.
However, compared to the shocking power displays of Ninja, battles were far more exhilarating and stirring.
At this moment, she watched dumbfounded as two different colors moved across the hall in the distance, appreciating the clash between these powerful Ninja.
Of course.
More accurately, Uchiha Chiri was fiercely pursuing Minato Namikaze, forcing him to escape using space.
"Don't even think about escaping!" Uchiha Chiri released even more Chidori Shuriken, sealing off all possible Kunai locations in every direction, ensuring that any Flying Thunder God Technique transfer would be hit by her pre-predicted Shuriken.
Because of this, he could only release more Kunai.
Although Minato Namikaze, with his spatial abilities, could completely escape and leave the Land of Loulan.
However, if he didn't use his powerful self as bait to tie down Uchiha Chiri.
Then, Naruto, who had been severely wounded, would not be able to receive rescue.
If someone else were to act as a distraction while Minato Namikaze went to rescue Naruto, the outcome would simply be that the powerful Uchiha Chiri would kill the distraction.
Even Minato Namikaze himself.
Could not confront Uchiha Chiri head-on.
Although his neural reflexes could react to Uchiha Chiri's attacks, in other aspects, he was too far behind to fight one-on-one.
He could only rely on his high neural reflexes to use his advantage in responding to Uchiha Chiri's pursuit.
For instance, from the start of the battle until now, he had kept his guard at the highest level, and he did not confront Uchiha Chiri's eyes with his own vision, fearing falling into the Sharingan's Genjutsu.
Given her strength and Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
No matter how Minato Namikaze thought about it, he wouldn't believe her Genjutsu was weak or couldn't affect a Ninja of his level.
Therefore, he constantly remembered the combat tactics against the Sharingan taught by Jiraiya, avoiding these unfavorable factors.
And Zhili also constantly remembered Uchiha Tenxiu's teachings to her, always aiming to improve herself, and did not use her trump card.
Otherwise, with Minato Namikaze's current strength facing a full-power Uchiha Chiri, he would simply be instantly killed by her.
"Perhaps, a few years later, a peak Minato Namikaze might have the means to contend with Zhili!" Uchiha Tenxiu's mind flashed with the image of Minato Namikaze becoming Hokage after the Third Great Ninja War a few years later. At that time, as Hokage, he would have the right to view all of Konoha's secrets.
Not only would this allow Minato Namikaze to access all of Konoha's Ninjutsu and Forbidden Techniques, enriching his arsenal, but he could also acquire resources only available to the Hokage, strengthening his foundation. With the accumulated knowledge of the entire Konoha Ninja Village, while it wouldn't make his strength skyrocket, it would be enough to compensate for his existing weaknesses, greatly increasing his future potential.
Furthermore, he would have various ways to engage in targeted combat, not being restrained by Ninja of the same rank.
And now.
Once Zhili adapted to his fighting style and grew tired of this game, she could easily kill him.
Then…
"Should I kill him? Or let him live?" Two thoughts constantly clashed in Uchiha Tenxiu's mind.
As a critical fate node.
If Minato Namikaze, the father of the future Child of Prophecy, died at this moment, would it attract the attention of those behind the scenes?
Although he had shielded himself from being predicted and locked his own timeline, locking the entire world's time loop. This prevented people from other worlds, and those from his future world, from crossing into his past or present spacetime.
However, it did not seal off the prediction abilities of people within this world regarding their own kind.
It's just that these abilities couldn't involve him.
But something like the Child of Prophecy, who was locked by past predictions, suddenly losing his father, would definitely draw their attention. They might not see all the prophetic images, but they would certainly know that the future they envisioned had been completely shattered!
This way.
The Six Paths Sage behind the scenes and the Sages of Mount Myōboku would quickly emerge following Minato Namikaze's experiences.
The result would be that the time left for him to plunder in this world would not be very long.
"I can't leave him Chakra seeds either. As a key individual in this world, he must be under the Six Paths Sage's observation. Thus, there's no need for the Six Paths Sage of this Pure Land to discover that I also possess the ability to create Chakra seeds!" Uchiha Tenxiu thought, his heart ultimately not settling on a decision to kill the opponent right now.
At least.
Before the Tailed Beast's power was collected.
These key individuals.
Should be given a pass for now!
In the hall, the yellow and blue figures intertwined like lightning, dazzling the eyes.
At the same time.
Shibi Aburame and Akimichi Choza coordinated closely, launching fierce attacks on Uchiha Chiri's Shadow Clone, giving her no chance to breathe, fearing she might approach Uzumaki Naruto or support her main body, putting Minato Namikaze in a pincer attack.
Just then, Yamato also seized the opportunity, letting out a soft cry: "Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!" As his words fell, the ground suddenly trembled violently, and dozens of gigantic trees shot out from underground like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. These large trees grew rapidly, their dense branches extending like tentacles, sweeping towards Uchiha Chiri's main body and Shadow Clone.
A portion of the growing trees precisely blocked the wailing Naruto's figure, forming a natural barrier.
At that instant, Yamato unhesitatingly unleashed another Ninjutsu: "Wood Release: Wood Clone Jutsu!" His body instantly turned woody, then rapidly split into several Wood Clones. These Wood Clones moved with extreme agility, like phantoms, rushing towards Naruto at astonishing speed.
In a blink of an eye, the Wood Clones reached Naruto's side. They quickly surrounded Naruto and instantly completed the substitution of the main body with a clone.
And the original Naruto was left in place by a Wood Clone, as if nothing had happened.
"It's Wood Release? However, it feels like these Wood Release are a bit weak." Uchiha Chiri's Shadow Clone looked at the targets spreading towards her, a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Before she could think more about the Wood Release, a giant hand locked onto her figure and grabbed fiercely towards her position.
Close behind was a swarm of insects.
Large numbers of Parasitic Insects with sharp fangs, like a sky full of mosquitoes, lunged towards Uchiha Chiri.
If it were a normal Ninja.
There would truly be no way to deal with these Ninjutsu.
"Hmph! So many years have passed, and you haven't made any progress, relying on your past abilities to live, without any improvement or development." Uchiha Zhili's figure was as agile as lightning, performing a swift aerial maneuver, easily avoiding Akimichi Choza's Multi-Size Right Hand grab. Under the application of her Three-Tomoe Sharingan, the opponent's normally rapid lock-on and grab, which would be quite fast for Ninja of the same rank, was as slow as a turtle under the dynamic vision of the Three-Tomoe.
Originally, Akimichi Choza's right hand shot out like a gale, attempting to grab Uchiha Zhili, but his movements were easily seen through and dodged by Uchiha Zhili.
Uchiha Zhili not only successfully evaded the attack but also took the opportunity to stomp on the surface of Akimichi Choza's right hand.
The entire process was fluid and seamless.
Without any superfluous actions.
At the same time.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...
