Reborn wind shadow: Attack the country of fire in the beginning

In an instant, Minato leaped from the top of Gamabunta's head, and he and Gamabunta split up, attacking Rasa from the left and right.

How could Rasa possibly allow them to get close? Gamabunta was one thing, but letting Minato get close was practically suicide.

Rasa immediately formed hand seals.

"Magnet Release: Gold Dust Rain!"

As the words fell, countless golden needles densely filled the sky behind Rasa, transforming into a rain of needles that flew towards the two, covering a vast area and moving at such speed that it was impossible to dodge.

"Leave it to me!"

Minato immediately formed hand seals, his hands creating afterimages.

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"

A powerful gale erupted directly from Minato's mouth, engulfing all the incoming gold dust needles within it. The gale didn't stop, heading straight towards the Shukaku construct.

Rasa's gaze didn't change in the slightest. When it came to Wind Release, he was also an expert.

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"

He used the same Wind Release technique again, and the two gales collided, instantly forming an insurmountable wind barrier between the Shukaku construct and Minato and Gamabunta. Gamabunta, who tried to get close, was blown away.

"As expected of the Kazekage, such impressive Wind Release!"

Gamabunta thought for a moment, then offered his suggestion.

"Minato, I can't be of much help against a monster like that. Gamaken would be more suitable."

Minato had also realized this.

"I understand. Thank you for your trouble, Gamabunta-sama!"

"Don't mention it. I'll head back then!"

Minato would have liked Gamabunta to stay and help him deal with the other Sand Village ninja, but having summons participate in ninja battles between people was somewhat against Mount Myōboku's rules. Gamabunta had only come to fight out of respect for Minato. Now, having him fight ordinary Sand ninja was definitely out of the question.

As Gamabunta returned to the summoning realm, Minato quickly formed hand seals.

"Summoning Technique!"

As the white mist dissipated, a large red toad holding a black iron fork and carrying an iron shield on its back appeared before Minato.

"Gamaken-sama! I'm counting on you from here on out. You just need to hold back that monster for me!"

Gamaken looked at the giant monster before him and immediately understood Minato's intentions.

"I understand. Although I'm clumsy, I'll do my best!"

Rasa could only feel envy at this sight.

This was the foundation of the Leaf Village. Such powerful summons could be exchanged at will, but Rasa could only rely on himself.

Gamaken waved the iron fork in his hand, thrust his legs forward, and arrived in the air, swinging the fork down at the Shukaku construct. Rasa used Shukaku's arms to block, immediately feeling the difference between Gamaken and Gamabunta. Gamaken's strength was far greater than Gamabunta's, and Rasa felt the Shukaku construct beneath him tremble all over.

"What terrifying power!"

If he were knocked down like this, even the Shukaku construct might not be able to withstand it. At this moment, Minato had already seen an opportunity and was rapidly approaching.

Seeing this, Rasa immediately formed hand seals.

"Magnet Release: Gold Dust Rain!"

"Leave it to me!"

Looking at the countless needles flying towards him, Gamaken took out the shield on his back and directly held it up.

Minato followed closely behind!

"Troublesome fellow!"

Rasa clapped his hands together, and two sand arms shot out from the ground, grabbing towards Gamaken's feet in the air.

"Leave it to me!"

"Wind Release: Severing Pressure!"

Sharp wind blades flew out, directly cutting off the two arms, turning them into endless fine sand falling from the sky.

At this moment, Gamaken had already arrived in front of the Shukaku construct, and with great experience, he didn't approach with his flesh, but directly held up the shield, relying on the weight and momentum of his body, and slammed it heavily towards the Shukaku construct's head.

Now Rasa really had no choice.

He could only abandon the Shukaku construct, retreating backward.

"Opportunity!"

At this moment, Minato finally saw an opportunity.

The so-called opportunity was twofold: first, Minato was very close to Rasa. Even if the Flying Thunder God kunai was knocked away at this distance, he would still be able to completely close the distance between them. As long as he got close to Rasa, then to Minato, who possessed the Flying Thunder God and the Rasengan, Rasa would be meat on the chopping block.

Second, Rasa was now in mid-air, without a foothold, making it difficult to adjust his posture. Although this had a negligible impact on a Kage-level ninja, for a ninja of this level, a single opening could be fatal.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and the Flying Thunder God kunai flew out directly.

Rasa naturally controlled the iron whip formed by the gold dust again, wanting to knock the Flying Thunder God kunai away, but the Flying Thunder God kunai only flew halfway before the Flying Thunder God Technique was activated, and Minato's figure appeared, then grabbed the Flying Thunder God kunai, looked at the incoming gold whip, directly swiped the kunai across the gold whip and threw it towards Rasa, while Minato's figure disappeared from the spot.

Because the distance between the two at this time was too short, almost instantly, the Flying Thunder God kunai had already arrived at Rasa's face.

Holding a Rasengan that shone with a bright light, he appeared in front of Rasa, tearing through space.

Rasa's eyes flickered slightly, and he put his hands together.

"Gold Dust World Barrier!"

Countless golden thorns directly covered Rasa's surroundings, wanting to block Minato.

But at this moment, Minato's figure disappeared again.

"Whoosh!"

"!!!"

"Got him!"

Minato's emotionless voice rang out from behind Rasa, and the dazzling light of the Rasengan completely enveloped Rasa at this moment.

But at this moment, Minato's face, which should have been happy for seizing victory, suddenly furrowed.

"That's not right!"

Because the feeling that came from the Rasengan after hitting Rasa was too strange. It didn't feel like hitting a solid object, but rather like the feeling of sand. The unease in his heart made Minato involuntarily retreat backward.

But Rasa's counterattack didn't come. Instead, Minato heard Gamaken's voice in his ear.

"What is this?"

Minato looked in the direction of the voice in surprise.

He saw that at the same time he attacked Rasa, the sand of the Shukaku construct, which had been scattered by Gamaken's shield, seemed to suddenly come to life, instead enveloping Gamaken, who was close at hand, completely.

Gamaken waved the iron fork, thrusting his legs forward, wanting to struggle, but suddenly found that he couldn't exert any strength in his whole body, and even the connection with Mount Myōboku was cut off.

"This is?"

Countless violet-patterned incantations appeared out of thin air, transferring from the Shukaku construct to Gamaken's body.

As Kushina Uzumaki's husband, Minato was also quite skilled in sealing techniques, so his expression changed drastically.

"This is a sealing technique! Crap!"

Minato reacted, but it was too late.

In just an instant, Gamaken was sealed into a giant sand-gravel sealing formation like a pyramid, only having time to leave a sentence.

"I'm sorry, Minato!!!"

And Rasa's figure slowly appeared from the top of the pyramid.

Minato turned back to look, and as the dust dissipated, Rasa, who had just been hit by the Rasengan, was still completely transformed into the shape of sand.

"A sand clone? Was it prepared in advance?"

Minato frowned tightly. Although such a result was also within his expectations, after all, the opponent was the Kazekage, and it was unlikely that he would be defeated by himself so easily, but Gamaken's being sealed was definitely beyond his expectations.

In other words, the other party's target wasn't him, but Gamaken?

But why?

This was definitely not planned from the beginning!

Because whether it was Gamabunta or Gamaken, they were both summoned by him during the battle. It was impossible for the other party to predict it in advance. For some reason, thinking of the conversation between the two sides not long ago, Minato suddenly had a guess.

"Could it be that the Sand Village doesn't intend to fight to the death with the Leaf Village?"

As if to confirm his guess, Rasa, standing on the top of the pyramid, slowly said.

"Now, Leaf Village ninja, with just a flick of my finger, I can crush your summon into powder..."
