Chapter 128 The first round of confrontation

The landforms of the Land of Fire are completely different from those of the other four major nations. It should be said that the landforms of the five major nations are all different.

The Kingdom of Wind is full of deserts, and the Kingdom of Earth is better than the Kingdom of Wind. The large areas of land are barely suitable for farming. Yi Chen has never been to the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Water, but the conditions should be similar to those of the Kingdom of Earth.

Only in the Country of Fire, its land is extremely fertile, and all inaccessible places are covered by forests. Where there are human activities, large areas of land have been reclaimed for farming, and its output is far from comparable to that of the other four countries.

Based on this, although the Fire Nation's military strength cannot be compared with one against four, its economic strength far exceeds that of the other four nations combined.

It is precisely because of this that the Fire Nation allocates far more funds to Konoha every year than the other four countries.

And Konoha relies on this economic advantage to far surpass other countries in various fields.

For example, medical ninjutsu. The research and development of medical ninjutsu cannot be explained by Tsunade's extraordinary talent. The research funds spent on it are enough to make the Kages of the other four countries feel distressed.

In addition to medical ninjutsu, Konoha also has various forbidden techniques, and the research on these forbidden techniques is not simple.

Yichen has experienced this personally. When Yichen was testing the fire domain fragments in the enchantment class before, he spent a lot of money on the enchantment class. This was the cost of Yichen's experiment alone.

Later, after the entire boundary team received full support from the village, they continued to conduct various research for about ten years. The cost was huge. Although Yichen didn't know the specific data, he also knew that it must be an astronomical figure.

It is precisely because Yichen made the village fully support the enchantment class that Yichen was able to obtain many resources in the enchantment class that others could not obtain. This also brought a lot of convenience to Yichen's cultivation path.

The Iwa Ninja Village only had one research project on the Fire Domain Fragment, which was barely able to support itself. However, Konoha developed countless forbidden techniques during the Second Hokage period, and during the Third Hokage period, many human experiments were conducted, represented by Danzo Orochimaru.

Especially for Hashirama's cell culture research, the funds spent are estimated to be enough to support Konoha in another ninja war.

My thoughts flew a little far, and when I came back to my eyes, the natural conditions of the Fire Country were far superior to those of the other four countries, with lush trees everywhere.

In such a terrain, as an elite jounin, it is very easy to sneak in silently. Not to mention that Yichen can also sense the two auxiliary ninjutsu, Ninjutsu and Camouflage Jutsu.

With a smooth journey, Yichen crossed through the Country of Taki and entered the Country of Fire, and soon arrived near the Konoha camp.

After arriving near the camp, it is no longer realistic to sneak in as silently as before.

Yichen simply had no intention of sneaking into the Konoha camp secretly. He was seeking death.

Yichen's method was very straightforward. He approached a patrolling Konoha genin team from the north of the camp and used a teleportation technique to approach the three of them. Then, relying on the elite jounin's physical advantage, before the opponent's chunin captain could react,

A direct punch hit the opponent's abdomen.

Only after the chuunin was punched away by Yichen did he realize that there was a sneak attack. And his three genin subordinates only belatedly shouted about the enemy attack after he fell to the ground.

Yichen stopped making any moves after punching him, and instead watched quietly as the three genin hurriedly ran to their chuunin captain.

The three of them first checked the captain's injury, and then reacted and formed a battle formation to guard against Yichen.

Masumi didn't move. He waited until the other chuunin recovered from his punch, and then he said: "I am the deputy commander of the Iwa Ninja Eastern Front Force, I am going to bring a message to Namikaze Minato. I want to

Challenge him."

Hearing that this Iwa nin wanted to challenge Minato-sama, whom they admired, the three genin who were also civilians seemed very angry, and they seemed to start fighting if they disagreed.

But unlike the anger of the three subordinates, the chuunin had already realized the gap in strength between the two sides. After hearing Yichen's self-reported identity, he understood that he was only qualified to play a small role as a messenger.

So the chuunin said very wisely: "Senior, please wait a moment, we will go back and report to Lord Minato."

After saying that, he glared hard at the three subordinates who were glaring at Yichen, then turned around and ran towards the camp.

Looking at this scene, Yichen didn't mean it as a joke. If he hadn't been mentally gifted, he would probably be one of many similar genin by now.

After the group of patrolling ninjas left, Yichen chose a relatively open place nearby. He was a ninja with long-range output, and the terrain was too complex for his disadvantage.

When the chuunin returned to the camp with Masuchi's message, Namikaze Minato was discussing some matters about Takino Country with two middle-aged ninjas.

When they heard that the patrolling ninja was in an emergency and that the person coming was injured, several senior officials called the person in without any delay.

After the Chuunin finished his report, Minato and the other three were a little surprised. Fire and Earth had not yet officially declared war. In theory, the two sides were still at peace, but everyone knew that a war was inevitable.

Under such circumstances, it is somewhat intriguing that Yichen came here alone.

An elite jounin wrapped his whole body in a windbreaker said: "Although this Yichen's training talent is unclear, his strategy cannot be underestimated."

"Senior Aburame Shimi is right. Teacher Jiraiya also said before that this Masumi's status in the Iwa Ninja Village may be higher than we imagined."

Namikaze Minato confirmed Aburame Shimi's view. Apparently, after taking up the post as the commander of this unit, Namikaze Minato had learned about Yichen's intelligence.

"Teacher Jiraiya once inquired about information. What happened in the Country of Whirlpool back then was that the Iwa Ninja was guiding all parties behind the scenes. It seems that the Iwa Ninja high-level officials were influenced by this Yoshichen before they made the plan against Konoha."

"What? When the Uzumaki Country incident happened, this Masaki was probably still a student who had just entered the ninja school." Another elite jounin was obviously taken aback by Namikaze Minato's words.

"Senior Akimichi Tingming, Teacher Jiraiya can't confirm this. He can only infer it from some clues."

Namikaze Minato explained impatiently.

This news was quite shocking. During the Uzumaki Country Incident, three ninjas almost died in battle. At that time, this incident shocked the entire ninja world. Unexpectedly, the initiator of such a major event was just a student of the ninja school.

Although Namikaze Minato said that this was just Jiraiya's guess, Jiraiya's guess, one of the three ninjas, was basically a fact in the hearts of Konoha ninjas.

Qiudao Dingming hesitated for a moment and asked, "Now that Yichen is challenging you, will you still go?"

Namikaze Minato smiled and said: "Of course I want to go. The two countries of Fire and Earth haven't fought yet. If I have to challenge him, I have to defeat him so that the Earth Country knows the strength of the Konoha ninja and doesn't dare to act rashly."

When Namikaze Minato spoke, his eyes shone with confidence.

After about half an hour, Yichen, who was waiting quietly, opened his eyes. In his perception, there were about a dozen people approaching quickly.

Sure enough, after a while, Namikaze Minato came to Yichen with a dozen elites including Aburame Shimi. The group stopped about a hundred meters away from Yichen.

Namikaze Minato originally wanted to come alone, but Aburame Shimi and Akimichi Tingaki were worried about Masaki, so they sent a dozen jounin to accompany Namikaze Minato.

Yichen didn't pay attention to these people. After Namikaze Minato stopped, there was no one else in Yichen's eyes.

Unlike Masuzu who was staring at Namikaze Minato, Namikaze Minato just looked at Masuo before speaking: "Iwa ninja elite jounin Masuo, we don't seem to know each other, why are you asking me to fight?"

Yichen didn't want to talk nonsense, and he was not good at talking nonsense: "We'll talk about it after we fight."

While speaking, Yichen had already started forming seals.

Namikaze Minato's eyes narrowed, and he shouted "Back off" to let his entourage retreat, while he had already used the teleportation technique.

"Water Release - Drizzle no Jutsu (Group Water Line Jutsu)." Facing Namikaze Minato's first ninjutsu, Yichen's choice was the less lethal Drizzle no Jutsu.

It only takes one second for Yichen to perform a B-level ninjutsu with only 5 seals. Moreover, Yichen can use hundreds of water lines at the same time. Hundreds of water lines are divided into several waves under Yichen's control.

times, each wave can cover a 120-degree range in front of Yichen.

Every time Namikaze Minato flashes using the teleportation technique, Masujin will shoot a wave of water towards him.

Namikaze Minato was able to perform Ninjutsu without seals. Although Yichen's drizzle technique was not Muji, Yichen combined with his own Muji instantaneous body to control the distance between the two within a certain range. Namikaze Minato thought

The attempt to bring the two people closer instantly did not come true.

The Konoha ninjas watching on the side were all surprised. One of them said: "This Yichen's seal formation speed should be more than 5 seals per second."

Aburame Shimi, as an elite jounin, saw it most clearly and said concisely: "About 5.5 seals per second."

Waterline ninjutsu is the ninjutsu that Yichen is best at. When Yichen performs this type of ninjutsu, his seal formation speed reaches nearly 5.7 seals per second.

These Konoha ninjas had never seen an opponent with such terrifying speed in forming seals, and they were directly frightened by Yi Chen's move.

Another jounin said at this time: "This Yichen is not only fast in forming seals, but also uses the teleportation technique very smoothly. It seems that he can teleport without seals at least 5 times."

"Yes, with this terrifying speed of forming seals, coupled with the Mu-seal Instantaneous Body, I'm afraid I won't be able to get close to him at all. In the end, I will only be beaten to pieces by his ninjutsu."

"After all, he is a ninja who dares to challenge Lord Minato. It is not surprising that he has such strength."

At this time, a jounin paid attention to the place hit by Yichen's water line, and said slowly: "Fortunately, the attack range of this group ninjutsu is not very strong."

After hearing this, everyone looked at the trees and the ground where the water pressure lines had made small holes, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Of course, if this kind of power hits a ninja, it will be injured, but as long as the vital points are avoided, it can still be withstood. If the ninja wears some good quality protective gear, he may be able to charge forward with the attack.

At this time, the form of the battlefield changed. This was the Kingdom of Fire, surrounded by dense trees. Although Yichen had chosen a relatively open place as the battlefield as much as possible, there were still many obstacles.

Masujin's water line is not very powerful, so these trees are enough to provide cover for Namikaze Minato.

After using the cover of trees to rush forward several times, Minato finally closed the distance between the two.

However, all this was within Yichen's expectation. Yichen never expected to defeat Minato with just a drizzle technique.

So when Minato Namikaze once again used the cover of trees to approach Masumi, Masumi decisively changed the seals.

"Water Release - The Jutsu of Rapid Rain (the technique of group water pressure line)."

Yi Chen's original intention was to use the powerful penetrating ability of the water pressure line in the Heavy Rain Technique to catch Feng Shuimen off guard.

But Namikaze Minato was Namikaze Minato after all. Yi Chen's Heavy Rain Technique only had 2 more seals, which was less than 0.2 seconds in terms of time, but Namikaze Minato noticed something was wrong immediately.

After noticing the abnormality, Namikaze Minato Feidan did not approach again, but decisively used the teleportation technique to dodge to one side.

Although Masujin's water pressure was fast, Namikaze Minato still managed to dodge the attack before it came.

However, due to Namikaze Minato's concession, the distance between the two returned to the original 100 meters or so.

This time the two had a tacit understanding not to take action immediately, but had a brief confrontation.

The first round of confrontation came to an end, and it seemed that they were evenly matched, but Yichen knew that he was at a disadvantage.

Yichen uses B-level ninjutsu, and Namikaze Minato uses C-level teleportation, so the consumption of the two is inconsistent.

Furthermore, Yichen's biggest advantage is the speed of forming seals, which has been thoroughly demonstrated in the two people's tug-of-war just now.

But Namikaze Minato only used a simple teleportation technique from beginning to end.
