Reincarnation of Naruto

Chapter 54 Invitation to Battle

"Pfft"

While Aangji was working hard to maintain the concentration of water attribute chakra and wind attribute chakra in his body.

A gust of wind appeared out of thin air around him, which directly cut the sleeve of Aangji's left forearm, leaving a red blood mark on his forearm.

"It failed again."

Aangji didn't even glance at the small wound, and fell into distress.

Over the past year, this situation has happened countless times.

Every time he failed, Aangji would either be drenched in water, or his clothes and skin would be cut by the wind blade, leaving bloody marks like this.

It's pretty good now, but it was even scarier when I first started to fuse the Ice Release Blood Successor.

I remember one night, after Aangji finished training, his whole body was cut into a bloody man by the wind blade.

All his clothes were in pieces, making Minato and the others think that Aoji had been attacked by an enemy.

Another time, after Aangji failed to match the two attributes of chakra in his body, he felt as if he had been sunk to the bottom of the sea and almost drowned in the water.

These are the consequences of the failure of the proportion of wind and water chakra in Aangji's body.

Just like this, I failed again and again. Although I was hurt every time, the situation was always developing in a good direction.

This failure only left a small hole.

"Then continue." Aangji was not discouraged. At least he had seen some light on the road ahead and would not be enveloped in despair like he was a year ago.

Until Aangji left two blood marks again, and was soaked in water once on his feet and once on his head.

Aangji finally ended the training and returned to the camp to lie down and rest.

In the darkness, a figure opened his eyes and looked at Aangji's tired figure, who had not fallen asleep for a long time.

"Aoji, you have been working hard, and I will not relax." This person was Namikaze Minato.

Dark night came, and sleepiness finally overwhelmed Aoji and Minato.

The next day, a few people got up early, packed everything, took a soldier's food pill, and prepared to continue heading towards Konoha Village.

After all, it was only one day before the mission ended, and they hadn't been back for a while, so several of them were very excited.

"We must have three big bowls of Ichiraku Ramen when we go back to reward us for all our hard work." As if thinking of the deliciousness of Ramen, Uchiha En couldn't help but lick his lips.

"It's okay. I haven't encountered those bandits and rebels in recent times. Except for yesterday, the last time we encountered rebels was more than half a month ago." Uzumaki Kushina didn't have anything to say about this.

express.

As soon as they arrived, Kumogakure and Iwagakure had already stopped fighting Konoha, Kirigakure had not moved, and only Sunagakure was still jumping around.

The troublemakers who saw that the situation was not good fell silent.

Secondly, Aangji's team of four is now well-known in the Land of Fire. The evil people are afraid of them, and the good people welcome them.

Nowadays, many times, after the four members of Aangji inquire about the lair of the traitorous ninja, by the time they pass by, the other party will have already fled in advance.

It is different from four years ago when a group of bandits and rebels could be cleared out basically every two days.

Now the possibility of not meeting these guys even for a month has arisen.

I can only blame a few people for being so famous now.

This is also the reason why a few people did not waste time looking for the remaining ninjas and bandits.

You might not be able to find a single bandit hair in two days, let alone the cunning rebel ninjas and wandering ninjas.

"Haha, this may be the so-called 'tang' of close nostalgia, not timid but sincere." Aangji teased his friend with a smile.

Minato had been observing the surrounding environment, while silently watching the warm daily bickering between the three friends.

"I hope to live like this forever." Minato Namikaze thought to himself.

A few people were chatting on the side of the road and rushing on their way, and it was soon afternoon.

"That's all right. We'll get up tomorrow morning for the rest of the journey. We'll be back in the village around noon. There's no need to be in such a hurry."

Only the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance remained, and Minato did not force his teammates to travel all night.

Not to mention that after a day, everyone was already very tired.

Moreover, traveling all night is very dangerous and tiring.

There's nothing else to do anyway, so there's no rush, right?

After dinner, the group went to the forest to hunt two hares, picked some wild fruits, mushrooms and wild vegetables, and also went to the nearby river to catch some fish.

Then around the campfire, Kushina Uzumaki cooked a delicious meal.

Although Bingliang Pills can also satisfy hunger, if there is food to eat, who would want to eat cold things to satisfy hunger.

Just think about when you are eating instant noodles, and there are people next to you eating lobster, abalone, and a Manchu-Han banquet. How can you still swallow it?

After the meal, we rested for a while. Because of the summer, the sky was still bright at this time.

Aangji stood up and walked to Namikaze Minato.

Taking a deep breath, Aangji said firmly: "Minato, practice with me, try your best."

Aangji's tone was serious, without the slightest hint of joking.

"Have you successfully developed your ninjutsu?" As he said this, Minato had already stood up.

The other three have seen Aangji's craziness every night in the past year.

However, they only thought that Aoji was developing new ninjutsu and did not think about the limits of blood inheritance at all.

The conversation between Aoji and Minato, as well as their subsequent actions, also attracted the attention of Kushina Uzumaki and En Uchiha next to them.

Among the four of them, Aoji and Minato have always been the strongest.

Until a year ago, the two were equally matched in strength, and each would win or lose in a fight, commonly known as a 50-50 split.

However, in the past year, Minato's strength suddenly increased by leaps and bounds.

They can clearly see this from their usual battles with the enemy.

Not only Aoji, Uchiha En also felt a slight pressure every time he faced Minato. As a girl, Uzumaki Kushina still liked Minato, but she didn't have much intuitive feelings.

But as a Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, when I wanted to prove my own strength.

After activating the three tails of the Nine Tails, her keen sense told her that she was no match for Minato.

And Uzumaki Kushina in the three-tailed state has reached the shadow level!

Contrary to Minato, Uchiha En and Uzumaki Kushina could feel that Aoji's strength had not improved much since a year ago.

The most obvious thing is that although Uzumaki Kushina still can't defeat Aoji normally, when she opens the three-tails, she feels that Aoji is not her opponent.

As for Uchiha En, he found that he could fight Aangji for longer and longer.

I believe that if we continue like this, we will not be far from catching up with or even surpassing Aangji.

After hearing Minato's question, Aangji shook his head and did not explain much.

"I want to see the gap between you and me now, and try to break through myself." Aangji said while looking at the smiling Namikaze Minato.

"Okay, I accept it, Aangji, I will do my best, but you have to be careful." Namikaze Minato also put away his smile at this time and said with sharp eyes.

Since my friend has this request, I will definitely agree to it.

The two have known each other since they first entered the ninja school, and have been roommates for many years. The friendship between them cannot be expressed in words at all.

But over the years, the two have fought countless times, but there has never been a winner.

Today it may be that I narrowly win, but next year it may be that you beat me.

But ever since he broke through the boundaries of film-level strength a year ago, the two of them have never fought each other again.

Minato could feel that Aoji was no longer his opponent.

And from that time on, Aangji would squeeze himself crazily every day.

Minato knew that Aoji must be very unwilling and wanted to catch up with him.

And he has been waiting for Aangji's ninjutsu that has been developed for a year.

I just didn’t expect that Cangji would challenge me before successfully developing it.

Originally, Minato thought that this battle would be delayed until Aoji successfully developed this ninjutsu and reached the Kage level.

"Yan, who do you think will win between the two of them?" Uzumaki Kushina watched excitedly as the two friends prepared to start the competition.

One of them is one of his best friends, and the other is the person he likes.

"If it was a year ago, I would probably say I don't know. Now, Aoji can't beat Minato." Uchiha En had already opened his Sharingan, and he was ready to take a good look at the two friends after a long absence. Years of fighting.

"Yes, Minato has entered another realm, and Aangji was almost at this level a year ago. His chance of winning in this competition is very low." Not only was it very low, Uzumaki Kushina just politely did not say anything. Aangji's winning rate in this competition is zero.

It's not just Uchiha En and Uzumaki Kushina who don't like Aoji.

Even Hinata Aoji himself felt that he had no chance of winning.

From beginning to end, this competition was just Aoji trying to break through the bottleneck with the help of Namikaze Minato's pressure.

If there is no breakthrough, not only Minato will pull himself further and further away, but Uchiha En and Uzumaki Kushina will also get closer and closer to him.

No, strictly speaking, Uzumaki Kushina has also surpassed herself.

Although he was very unwilling in his heart, Aangji had to admit that these were the naked realities before him.

When you are standing still and others are moving forward, you will only slowly fall behind everyone in the end.

Aoji and Minato walked to the open space next to them, stood about 10 meters apart from each other, and then formed a seal of opposition at the same time.

This seal will be knotted every time a few friends compete. There is no reason, just because of the sense of ritual.

They will also form a seal of reconciliation at the end of the battle.

This has become a habit engraved in the DNA of many people.

"So, Minato, are you ready? I'm coming." Looking at Namikaze Minato opposite, Aoji said excitedly.

"Ah, come on, I've been waiting for you, Aangji." Minato was also happy to be able to fight against his friends again.

Aangji didn't know why, but he clearly felt the difference in strength between himself and Minato. At this moment, not only was he not afraid that he would lose, but he also felt a faint sense of expectation.

It can be said that the mental shackles Aangji put on himself at this moment have been released.

For the past year, Aangji has stopped fighting with Minato. Unexpectedly, an emotion called fear has arisen deep in his heart unknowingly.

Afraid of losing, afraid of failure, afraid of having the genius hat of the Hyuga clan taken off from my head.

I clearly didn't care about this title.

When did you start to fear losing?

It should be that over the years, I have been able to be evenly matched with the fourth generation Hokage in the future of the original work, and I have lifted myself up infinitely from the bottom of my heart.

In Aangji's subconscious mind, he thought that if he no longer fought Minato, then he would always be the genius of the Hyuga clan who could win or lose with each other!

This is probably one of the reasons why Aangji has been unable to concentrate the water and wind chakra in his body into ice escape this year.

The loopholes in the mind cannot be repaired through hard training in reality.

If Aangji hadn't suddenly invited him to fight Namikaze Minato on a whim, he would still not be aware of the seriousness of this problem.

It would be meaningless to wait until you think you can defeat the opponent before you request a fight.

Without the courage to face difficulties, you will never be able to make a breakthrough!
