Naruto: Kushina's Redemption, My Revenge

Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Advancing the Frontline



Before Minato Namikaze could react, Chinya's sudden blow struck him in the abdomen. He slammed against a tree trunk and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Minato truly hadn't expected that Chinya would say it exactly right — ending the fight in an instant.

Chinya sauntered up to Minato Namikaze and looked down at him. "This sparring match — you lost."

Minato wiped a trail of blood from his mouth. "So this is your new move? Your speed really is something else. It's still Thunder Flash, but its velocity surpasses regular Thunder Flash, and its cutting force is significantly stronger.

I never imagined there'd be such a huge gap between us — so vast that I couldn't even block a single strike. Chinya, this match was my loss."

Chinya clicked his tongue at Minato Namikaze. "Hmm, why do you not seem the slightest bit discouraged? On the contrary, you appear even more excited. Logically speaking, since you see me as your rival, upon seeing the gap, you should at least feel some disappointment."

Minato gave a small smile. "Exactly why I see you as my rival means I'll never get discouraged. Right now, I'm genuinely thrilled. I'll keep striving harder — starting with barely blocking one of your strikes, gradually growing stronger, until I can withstand two, three, and eventually catch up to you..."

Chinya twitched his lips slightly. "Whatever makes you happy. That was a pretty boring spar."

As Chinya turned to leave, Minato Namikaze quickly asked, "Chinya, earlier you mentioned that this move wasn't completed yet. So just now — did you finish it?"

Chinya paused for a moment, then tossed back, "No," before walking off directly.

Minato quietly sucked in a breath.

Such a powerful technique was still incomplete?

Chinya's [First Style Thunder Flash Swift] was truly not yet perfected.

[Type One Thunder Flash] required Chinya to use Lightning Release chakra to stimulate the meridians in both legs to the maximum, then release all of it in one explosive burst.

Yet while performing it, Chinya had sensed a distinct hesitancy, and the stimulation from the Lightning Release chakra was insufficient — he knew his speed could go even faster.

But currently, his legs couldn't withstand that level of speed.

Even now, his feet were still throbbing painfully.

Moreover, the chakra consumption had been immense.

Nevertheless, even this incomplete version of [Type One Thunder Flash Swift Strike] moved far faster than standard Thunder Flash techniques.

And since it was still part of the Thunder Flash family, even if incomplete, Chinya could still execute it.

[Thunder Flash Swift Speed] and [Kazekami Raijin] represented two different development routes.

[Thunder Flash Swift Speed] relied on ultimate speed to produce ultimate power.

Meanwhile, [Kazekami Raijin] was a supreme technique combining other sword forms, more balanced overall — though its speed was slightly inferior to [Thunder Flash Swift Speed].

Chinya felt the aching in his legs and let out a quiet sigh.

Training for [Thunder Flash Swift Speed] couldn't be rushed.

Because success wasn't just about training alone — the endurance of his leg meridians needed to improve accordingly.

His legs had to endure even more stimulation from Lightning Release chakra before he could truly unleash his lightning-fast speed.

Chinya found a quiet spot and forced Minato Namikaze from his thoughts entirely.

In his opinion, unless Minato had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique or Sage Mode, there was no way for him to stand a chance against Chinya.

Otherwise, even if he developed the Rasengan, it wouldn't make a difference.

Chinya dove into his daily regimen of grueling training.

...

The next morning.

The current 32 ninja who were still capable of fighting gathered once again.

Leading these 32 ninja was Orochimaru.

"Everyone, create as many Bunshin as possible first, then form a Shadow Clone. After that, assemble in teams. Keep your original body in formation with your clones while advancing the front line! Jiraiya-sensei!"

Upon hearing Orochimaru call him, Jiraiya-sensei solemnly responded, "Present!"

Orochimaru gave orders to Jiraiya: "You and I will each take one end of the formation. Summon your summoned beasts. When encountering Cloud Ninjas, use the summoned beasts to drive them away. Any that slip through the net will primarily be dealt with by us two."

Accepting Orochimaru's command, Jiraiya acknowledged in a low voice, "Understood!"

Orochimaru called out again, "Chinya!"

Chinya stepped forward, "Present!"

Orochimaru ordered him, "I'm assigning you an independent mission here. You have the fastest speed and highest mobility. Conduct scouting within a fifty-meter radius around our unit. Immediately use your summoned beast to notify me upon detecting enemies."

Chinya asked, "Teacher Orochimaru, is this purely a reconnaissance mission?"

Orochimaru coldly replied, "If you're confident, go ahead and kill them!"

Chinya bowed respectfully, "Understood!"

Orochimaru turned toward the other ninja and commanded, "The rest of you, unless Cloud Ninjas physically approach us, your task is simply to maintain the Shadow Clone and Bunshin formations. Understood?"

"Understood!"

Orochimaru announced, "Then we'll begin advancing the front line now! After moving forward ten kilometers, set traps nearby and hold the defensive line. Be ready to act according to my commands at any time!"

The ninja began creating their Shadow Clones and Bunshin, forming into teams.

Noticing that Minato's complexion looked particularly pale, Jiraiya frowned and asked, "Minato, what's wrong? Why do you look so unwell? Didn't you get enough rest yesterday?"

Minato shook his head, "I'm fine, Jiraiya-sensei. It won't affect the battle."

Jiraiya advised, "Take care of yourself then, don't push too hard."

Everyone had already created their Shadow Clones and Bunshin.

Even a single ninja creating one Shadow Clone and five Bunshin ended up with seven bodies total.

With 32 ninja, each producing seven bodies, they looked like a force of over two hundred—truly a breathtaking sight.

Orochimaru nodded in satisfaction, "Move out immediately!"

Under Orochimaru's and Jiraiya's command, the ninja formation surged forward.

Meanwhile, Chinya started acting independently, conducting reconnaissance within a fifty-meter radius around the group.

For the first two kilometers, Chinya didn't notice anything unusual.

However, starting from the two-kilometer mark, he begins detecting movements.

Chinya formed a series of hand seals and slammed his palm onto the ground.

[Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes]!

Instead of spitting them out like Orochimaru, Chinya summoned a surge of snakes straight from his sleeve.

Chinya ordered these snakes to spread out and report back any intelligence they gathered.

At the same time, Chinya also summoned a small black snake from Ryuchi Cave.

"You go find Master Orochimaru and let him know things are moving now. Tell them to stay on guard."

"Yes, Master Chinya!"

The little black snake twisted its body rapidly and departed.

Soon enough.

Several snakes returned to Chinya, coiling around his arms and reporting their reconnaissance findings.

"A scouting trio, huh?"

A cold glint flashed in Chinya's eyes as he tightened his grip on the Ninja Sword.

The battle was about to begin!
