Chapter 151: Hidden dangers emerge
To confront Minato Namikaze personally is an extremely risky adventure, and Shiba Kiyokawa is naturally well aware of the dangers involved.
But he still went on without hesitation!
This is certainly not due to complacency or arrogance.
In addition to his sense of responsibility as a leader, he also saw the huge benefits behind this risk!
Namikaze Minato is now the pillar of Konoha's entire northern region. Too many people are following his light, but few are aware of the crisis involved.
Minato cannot fail!
Let alone failure, even if he was no longer invincible and no longer able to kill everyone, it would be a devastating blow to the morale of Konoha, which was already in jeopardy!
At least the Akatsuki organization has Nagato who is becoming more and more mature under the training of Shiba Kiyokawa and can take over.
On the other hand, in the northern part of Konoha, there was no one else who could take charge of the situation except Minato Namikaze.
Konoha is indeed full of talented people and geniuses, but they have too many fronts to deal with at the same time!
Not to mention that a few years ago they tricked Bai Ya to death, killing a great general of their own village in vain.
At this moment, no one knows how much pressure Minato Namikaze, who always appears confident and warm, is actually under!
So even though he was still crying after being tricked by Shiba Kiyokawa, he still launched another attack without hesitation the next moment!
Flying Thunder God is still flashing!
But at this time, Shiba Qinghe became unusually steady!
He has always been a calm and restrained poisoner. No matter whether he is heartbroken or angry, it will not affect his rationality when making decisions.
Ice crystals surrounded him, and the famous sword Siming in his hand was also stained with a thin layer of frost.
The next moment, Minato Namikaze appeared beside him again!
At this time, Minato Namikaze had initially gotten rid of the dazzling flash. He squinted his eyes slightly, waved a kunai with one hand and wiped it towards Shiba Kiyokawa's neck, while the other hand shook and threw another kunai to the side at the same time.
His attacks became more cautious, and he was ready to move his position at any time and launch the second stage of Flying Thunder God.
But he didn't expect that such caution would actually distract his own attention!
As soon as he swung the kunai, he suddenly realized—
Oops, the distance is an inch short!
His perception had just been affected by the illusion!
Damn!
He clearly knew in advance that Shiba Kiyokawa was good at illusions, but there were too many things to guard against at the same time, so he neglected to be on guard against his opponent's illusions!
It was like he had too many things to consider for Konoha at the same time, so much so that after the war began, his energy was greatly distracted and consumed.
Despite Minato Namikaze's comprehensiveness, he quickly discovered the illusion and removed its influence.
But the greatest lethality of Flying Thunder God lies in the word "fast"!
A moment of misjudgment and pause was enough for Shiba Kiyokawa to react and respond!
"Ding!"
Minato Namikaze's second remedial swing hit the closed thin ice crystal shield.
Then Shiba Kiyokawa raised his sword from bottom to top!
Forced by the sword, Minato Namikaze had to teleport again and leave the spot.
However, the landing point of the second stage of Flying Thunder God was not far away.
After keeping a short distance, Namikaze Minato stood outside the attack range of the katana and quickly formed seals with both hands!
He is famous in the ninja world for his Flying Thunder God Technique, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know other ninjutsu!
After forming a seal, he threw out the shuriken.
"Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
This is a ninjutsu that has been passed down from generation to generation. Orochimaru knows it, and his disciple, Minato Namikaze, also knows it.
At this time, the distance between him and Shiba Kiyokawa was about ten meters.
A katana couldn't reach that far. But for the shurikens flying all over the sky, a dozen meters was just a blink of an eye!
At that moment, Minato Namikaze smiled confidently.
For him who has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, distance will always be under his control!
In the past, his surprise attacks and kills were so stunning and frightening to the enemies that few people knew that he was actually also good at pulling and kite-flying tactics!
He is quite confident in controlling the distance.
Unfortunately, this time, Minato Namikaze's information was behind again.
Shiba Qinghe exhaled slightly, his eyes focused, and the three ice flowers behind his head began to spin rapidly at this moment!
The tactical reinforcement of Ice Escape had an unexpected effect at this moment!
This is the value of the bloodline limit customized ninjutsu - his newly mastered moves perfectly fit his current tactical needs!
With a slash of the sword, ice and snow quickly gathered in front of the blade!
The attack distance of three to five meters is the limit of the katana, but that is not the limit for Shiba Kiyokawa!
"Wind and Frost Sky, Ice Spin Slash!"
Wind blades, ice and sword energy intertwined together, forming a deadly ice tornado!
While blowing away all the shurikens, it also completely engulfed the place where Minato Namikaze was standing!
Want to pull me?
A distance of more than ten meters is probably far from enough!
In the end, this attack was dodged by Minato Namikaze. After all, Flying Thunder God's mobility was still unattainable.
But Shiba Kiyokawa was happy to accept this situation.
"You can only hide? Is this the limit of Konoha's yellow flash?"
He deliberately made loud and arrogant remarks, spread his ice wings behind him, and pretended to be aggressive while continuously chasing after the flashing and teleporting Minato Namikaze.
In fact, Shiba Kiyokawa knew very well that such a pursuit was completely useless from a tactical perspective.
How could it be so easy to catch Flying Thunder God?
But from a strategic perspective, doing so is of great significance!
Because just letting the Konoha and Iwagakure ninjas present see that Namikaze Minato repeatedly returned empty-handed and fled in a panic was enough to push the situation in the direction he wanted to see!
The hidden danger has been quietly exposed!
The ninjas of Konoha began to get anxious and uneasy.
"What's going on? Is Minato-sama being suppressed?"
"How is this possible?! Namikaze Minato is obviously invincible!"
"This can't be true! This can't be possible!"
On the other hand, on our side, the Iwagakure troops, which had been frightened and whose fighting spirit was almost collapsed, miraculously regained some courage at this moment.
"It seems that this line of defense can still be defended?"
"Can we still salvage it a little bit more?"
"The yellow flash was really blocked? I... Is it too late for me to recognize the people of Akatsuki as my big brothers now?"
As for the Akatsuki organization, they don't need any extra encouragement at all!
From the moment Shiba Kiyokawa arrived, the morale of all the remaining troops in the four battalions has been maintained at its peak, as if it was locked and could not be shaken at all!
One person becomes a stabilizing force to stabilize an entire war zone. Such a feat seems great and requires no further explanation, but in fact, every step is like walking on a tightrope.
In the original work, Minato Namikaze did complete it successfully, and his execution was extremely perfect, making it his pinnacle moment when he was elected as the Fourth Hokage!
It's just a pity that in the current world line, there is someone who has been eyeing the only steel rope under his feet with scissors from the very beginning.
The appearance of Shiba Kiyokawa makes Namikaze Minato feel more pressured!
The more he fought, the more anxious he became!
However, as if it weren't raining, more bad news came in the distant wind.
