Naruto : Minato back to the past

The land of grass.

rustle!

In the dark forest, there was the sound of dense footsteps.

Judging from the footsteps, there should be only one person, but he moved very quickly, and under the cover of darkness, only a faint afterimage could be seen.

The fast-moving figure finally stopped. He glanced sideways and saw a thin figure on his shoulder.

It is Kushina!

"Is the little girl awake again?"

The man smiled slightly. They had already left the territory of the Land of Fire a long time ago, but in order to prevent the pursuit of Konoha's ninjas, he chose to take a detour through the Land of Grass.

Kushina opened her somewhat heavy eyes, and all she saw was darkness and a biting coldness.

Before she could even say anything, the man who lifted her up was about to knock her unconscious again.

At this moment, the man suddenly felt a piercing chill coming from behind him, which instantly made his hair stand on end.

"Shhh!"

Lightning flashed around his body in an instant, turning into armor and covering him.

Swish!

The next moment, he rushed forward as fast as a flash of lightning.

However, just as he rushed out, a golden light was chasing him from behind.

As the sound of wind blades cutting through the air rang in his ears, the man covered in lightning armor also felt the danger.

The target of the wind blade was the arm that he was holding Kushina by.

In a hurry, the man moved his arm, and the wind blade seemed to have anticipated it. It suddenly changed from a slash to a draw, sweeping across.

He had no choice but to step away immediately, but the man did not grab Kushina, and the two of them broke away from each other directly.

The wind blade was thrown out directly. Seeing this, the man wearing the lightning armor did not avoid it. Instead, he punched out directly with a roar of thunder.

"clang!"

With one punch, the kunai covered by the wind blade was instantly broken into several pieces. However, the lightning on the man's fist was also pierced, almost touching his body.

This made the man furious. He landed on a tree and then stomped his feet, using the force to rush out. The whole person soared into the sky like lightning, and the sound of violence was endless.

In mid-air, a golden figure caught Kushina, and he ignored the lightning figure that rushed towards him.

Swish!

The next moment, he suddenly disappeared from where he was, and reappeared at the place where the lightning figure had originally stood.

He placed Kushina on the tree trunk to sit against it and held her hand, and his palm suddenly felt slightly numb.

The man paralyzed her body and even her nerves with lightning chakra.

However, Minato immediately used his own chakra to dissolve it, and Kushina immediately became much more sober.

When she raised her eyes and saw Minato in front of her, her big eyes sparkled.

She moved her still numb lips and choked up, "You're back."

Seeing Kushina like this, Minato's heart trembled violently.

But now he temporarily suppressed his anger, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "It's okay now."

Then he slowly turned his head and met the eyes of the tall and strong figure wearing lightning armor.

"C" Minato narrowed his eyes slightly, he had already felt this powerful chakra.

It was C, the high-ranking official of the Cloud Ninja Village whom Minato had met during the mission in the Land of Hot Springs!

"It's you, little brat!"

Compared to Minato's indifference, C's face showed a look of horror.

Although Minato's appearance and height have changed greatly compared to five or six years ago, his deep blue eyes and dazzling hair color have not changed.

"Namikaze Minato!"

C's heart trembled violently. This name was no longer unfamiliar to him. When he first saw it in the battle report, he thought it was just a mistake, but as the war progressed.

The name of Konoha's young ninja, Namikaze Minato, obviously has some fame in the ninja world!

If it were just these, C would not be so shocked. What shocked him even more was that through the brief fight just now, even though he was very reluctant to believe it.

Now Minato's strength is no less than his!

If they hadn't fought before, C would never have believed that a boy who was only thirteen years old this year could actually stand shoulder to shoulder with him!

What a terrifying growth rate!

In the dark night, when C's gaze truly met those azure blue eyes, the icy coldness contained in them made even his heart tremble.

"How is that possible?"

C had fought countless battles in his life, but he had never had a feeling like this.

At this time, a feeling of oppression from the strong makes the weaker ones afraid before the battle even begins.

If the opponent was The Third Hokage of Konoha, it would be fine to have such a feeling.

However, Minato is just a thirteen-year-old boy. Even if he is strong, with his pride, how can he easily admit such a feeling?

He just thought it was an illusion.

Staring at C in front of him, Minato frowned slightly.

Because even if he had great abilities, it was impossible for him to kidnap Kushina in Konoha at this time.

However, the guess naturally did not get an answer, Minato's voice sank and he shouted angrily:

"How did you bring Kushina out of Konoha!"

These provocative words fell into C's ears, and immediately made him furious.

"You bastard, you are not qualified to question me!"

C immediately became furious, but did not lose his mind. His eyes were still fixed on Kushina beside Minato.

Minato's expression darkened when he saw this.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Immediately, Minato waved his arms, and dozens of three-prong kunai flew towards C.

They are spread across tree trunks and grass.

Minato's eyes narrowed, and the next moment he appeared in front of a kunai closest to C. The three-prong kunai in his hand was once again surrounded by wind blades, and he chopped it down suddenly.

C's reaction was equally strong. He swung his fist to fight back, and the fist rubbed against the air, making a hissing sound.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the two of them retreated several meters at the same time. The wind blade on Minato's three prong kunai was completely shattered, and even the kunai itself had a broken blade.

On the other hand, although the lightning armor on C's fist was completely cut open, the armor itself was not damaged.

Minato once fought with the Fourth Raikage A before he became the Raikage. Although C's Lightning Armor was not as strong as his, it was also extremely sturdy.

A sudden attack like the one in the beginning would definitely be able to pierce through the Lightning Release Armor and injure him, but regretting it was not a wise move.

Swish!

However, Minato did not retreat. The chakra in his hand spun and compressed, turning into a small typhoon-like chakra light ball.

"Rasengan!"

C did not dodge or evade, and collided with it!

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

In the quiet forest, the two men continued to fight. The speed of C and Minato was not much different now. Relying on Flying Thunder God, Minato could even defeat him repeatedly.

"boom!"

There was another collision. C rushed towards Minato madly and punched him. However, Minato suddenly disappeared from the spot and appeared next to a Flying Thunder God mark.

"Boy, you are still too young!"

Seeing this, C smiled faintly and changed his fist into a palm. He had already memorized all the locations of Minato's Flying Thunder God Marks, and this was just a feint.

His real purpose was to capture Kushina again.

However, how could Minato not know what he was thinking?

However, C has his own plans, and Minato also has his own plans.

When he appeared, Minato made a seal with his hands, and black lines spread out across the grass like a snake, and finally turned into a barrier.

"Bang!"

C just happened to hit the barrier, causing violent ripples on the surface of the barrier, but he himself was also bounced away by the force.

He glanced sideways suddenly, and his furious expression was exactly the same as when he confronted Sakumo in the woods outside Hotspring Town that year.

"You did it on purpose!"
