A few breaths after Namikaze Minato disappeared, Lin and the two Loulan royal family members heard movement from the direction of the royal court.

The noise coming from it was obviously the sound of fighting. Lin, who had keen hearing, could even hear the loud screams of the centipede.

Obviously, this is Minato Namikaze beating the centipede.

Lin smiled when she heard this voice.

[Teacher is worthy of being the successor favored by the Fourth Hokage. He is so strong. 】

[If the teacher hadn't needed to protect me and the two mission issuers, he would have killed this enemy long ago. After all, this is just a puppeteer at the Chunin level.]

But what surprised Lin was that the sound of the battle was sometimes high and sometimes low, and the centipede's screams were getting louder and louder, but the battle never ended.

She began to worry.

In fact, Lin's worries were not excessive.

Minato Namikaze's fight was not easy. The centipede's attack was really of no use to him and he couldn't even touch the shadow of the "golden flash".

However, the huge body of the centipede also brought great trouble to everyone. Even if they attacked with all their strength, they could only peel off a few layers of defense and could not reach the core vital points.

After Ye Cang's attack that almost cost him his life, Baizu completely gave up the centipede mentality with stronger attack power and instead adopted the form of a round and thick clay doll, with countless layers of clay defenses piled up.

What's even more terrible is that here in the Loulan royal court, the power of the dragon vein has reached its maximum, and the recovery speed of the centipede puppet body has increased by more than ten times.

The wounds inflicted by Minato Namikaze healed rapidly before he could hit him a second time, and were even further strengthened.

The centipede looks more and more like a ball, and can only rely on its blade feet to fight back. Its only attack is with the whip knife dragged behind it, and its attack efficiency is getting lower and lower.

But his defense is indeed getting stronger and stronger. This is not the strength that comes from increasing hardness, but the strength that comes from increasing thickness.

Minato Namikaze and his student Kakashi Hatake have the same fighting style, and this kind of human bomb defense accidentally hits the target they are not good at dealing with.

Each of Namikaze Minato's attacks could cause great damage to the Centipede, but it could recover instantly, leaving no chance for the damage to accumulate.

The Centipede, whose defense was getting stronger and stronger, paid the price of increasingly slow movements, and was almost hit by Minato Namikaze, and all his counterattacks could only hit himself.

The battle had reached such a passive situation that the centipede was so angry that it screamed, but there was nothing it could do.

Because he absolutely dared not lower his defense, otherwise he might be killed instantly by Minato.

The battle between the two men reached a stalemate.

The initiative is completely in the hands of Minato Namikaze. He can even withdraw from the Loulan royal court when he is exhausted and continue fighting after his strength recovers.

It’s not that Baizu hasn’t tried to rush out and chase Minato, but as long as he leaves the royal court, his recovery speed will be significantly reduced.

Minato Namikaze seized the opportunity and launched continuous attacks. Despite the recovery of the centipede, he broke through at least sixteen layers of defense and almost dug out his core.

Baizu is also an experienced ninja who has fought in two wars. He knows that he cannot focus solely on increasing his defense, but if he doesn't increase it, he will die immediately when facing Minato Namikaze.

No matter how passive you are, it is not as dangerous as being killed by others. This is a last resort.

After Jinggu's attempts, Namikaze Minato no longer even entered the royal court. Instead, he stayed outside to think about problems, and only occasionally entered the royal court to test whether his ideas were correct through battle.

Baizu knew very well that the enemy was looking for his weakness. If he remained trapped in the Loulan royal court, he would eventually die.

Maybe Minato Namikaze's attack power is not strong enough, but with so many ninjas in Konoha Village and Sand Village, there must be ninjutsu suitable for attacking him.

As long as Minato finds out the information about Centipede and knows that the core of his power is still Earth Release, he can mobilize a few Lightning Release ninjas to kill Centipede easily.

"I can't do this. I can't die like this!"

Baizu screamed madly: "I still have a puppet army. I will mobilize the puppet army to kill and destroy. Konoha's top ninja Minato Namikaze, what will you do?"

"If you don't care about the people of Loulan, I will let the puppet army attack the Land of Fire and attack Konoha Village!"

"The number of Dragon Vein puppets is infinite. Even if I have to sacrifice a hundred puppets for the life of a Konoha Genin, I will win the final victory. What can you do?"

"Hahaha, I, Centipede, am invincible. You can't stop me from winning the war, and you can't stop me from becoming the king of the ninja world!"

Suddenly a strong wind blew, and a large amount of ice crystals appeared on the huge puppet, and the movement of the centipede was suddenly stuck.

A cool voice shouted: "Now, go!"

Ye Cang's slender body suddenly appeared behind the centipede, and the three huge orange fireballs in his hand were poured into the centipede's body one by one, evaporating a large amount of water vapor.

The subsequent explosion produced a large amount of debris and dry dust, all of which sprayed out from the not-so-big breach.

Burning Escape: Over-steaming

This bloodline limit, which has special effects on the human body, is also very effective against clay puppets, and its destructive power is almost entirely directed internally.

The centipede rolled on the ground screaming, throwing Ye Cang off its body.

The screams of the tumbling centipede soon turned into laughter: "Ye Cang, I am completely different now than before. I am invincible now!"

"Not to mention you, even the Jonin Namikaze Minato from Konoha Village can't do anything to me!"

The chubby puppet turned over and stood up, swinging its whip-like tail, attacking Hao and interrupting his ice escape ninjutsu.

Faced with the endless stream of ice escape, the centipede actually used molting to shed its frozen outer shell layer by layer to avoid being frozen.

Seeing that all the attacks from everyone were dealt with by him, Baizu laughed crazily: "Sure enough, the combination of me and the dragon vein is invincible!"

As an order of the Five Elements spread, more clay puppets moved closer to the royal court.

The densely packed puppets linked their hands and feet together to form high walls, surrounding the royal court and trapping all the ninjas.

Baizu grinned and said, "The power of the dragon vein is infinite, but the power of the ninja is limited. No matter how powerful you are, you will die here!"

Namikaze Minato, Hao, Jing, and Ye Cang were all indifferent in the face of being trapped. They even turned a deaf ear to Baizu's words and ignored them completely.

After all, Baizu is just a Chunin, the kind of Chunin who is not valued and has never been able to act on his own.

His knowledge and experience were obviously insufficient, and he could not be compared with Kage-level ninjas like Minato Namikaze and Ye Cang.

What seemed like an impenetrable encirclement to Baizu was nothing more than a small nuisance full of loopholes in the eyes of the two top ninjas, which could be broken through at any time.

As for Hao and Jing, although they are very young, they have experienced the pursuit of the Fourth Mizukage under the leadership of the previous clan leader Ying, and their mental quality is absolutely extremely strong.

Namikaze Minato looked at Ye Cang and greeted him with a smile: "So you are Ye Cang, the Scorch Release hero of the Sand Village. The Sand Village said that you have been killed by them. So they showed mercy?"

Ye Cang snorted coldly: "I have been killed by the Sand Village, but I was lucky enough to be rescued from hell. I have nothing to do with them anymore."

Namikaze Minato confirmed Ye Cang's look, then looked at Hao: "It seems that the one who saved Ye Cang was the Snow Clan. From the information I know, you should have been exterminated by the Hidden Mist Village. So you are living in seclusion in the Kingdom of Wind?"

Hao and Jing looked at each other and laughed at the same time: "Namikaze Jonin, if you can not report it, the Snow Clan will still disappear in the ninja world."

Namikaze Minato smiled and replied: "As a ninja, it is not a good character to conceal something, but I think you can trust the wisdom of the Fourth Hokage Orochimaru. He will accept your request."

Hao smiled and said, "Okay, I believe in the wisdom and decision of the Fourth Hokage Orochimaru."

Hao's smile was so bright and confident that it made Minato's heart skip a beat.

[This is not a smile that one hopes to entrust to others, but a smile of confidence and peace of mind. Is there a powerful force behind the Snow Clan? ]

【It’s incredible.】

Hao and Jing are not as strong as Ye Cang and Namikaze Minato, and their psychological quality is indeed much worse, but they are indeed confident in their hearts.

Uchiha You is guiding them through this crisis as Zhu Rong.

When boys and girls know that there are "adults" behind them, they will of course feel safe and not worry about their lives at all.

After coordinating their respective positions, the ninjas present began to think of ways to deal with the centipede.

Namikaze Minato was the first to speak, "The centipede's puppet is not difficult to deal with. The problem is that he is now deeply bound to the power of the dragon vein and has gained incredible recovery power. He is impossible to kill."

"The key to defeating him is to cut off the power of the dragon vein, but this is the key location and he has firmly occupied it. The Queen of Loulan cannot get in at all."

Ye Cang said: "That means we have to defeat him first, then we can let the Queen of Loulan come in and finish him off."

Minato nodded and said, "That is true, but my attacks cannot keep up with his recovery speed, so I can't do anything to him."

Ye Cang also gritted his teeth and said: "I tried it just now, and I couldn't do it."

Hao and Jing shook their heads together and said, "Our Ice Escape is not good enough, the attack power is very poor, and there is no way to completely suppress the puppet's recovery speed."

Namikaze Minato smiled and said: "Then let the four of us join forces, combine our strengths, and see if we can make the destructive power exceed the recovery ability of the centipede."

Everyone agreed.

First, Hao and Jing joined forces and performed the powerful ice escape ninjutsu.

Ice Release: Blizzard

The strong wind mixed with snowflakes and ice blades blocked Baizu's vision and made his puppet body stiff and brittle, making it easier to destroy.

Namikaze Minato performed the technique of instant body movement, and a series of afterimages revolved around the centipede. The ninja sword was swung out with bright rays of light, cutting neat marks on the centipede's body.

Along the traces of these grid patterns, large chunks of clay fell off, revealing more clay inside.

Ye Cang appeared in time at the deepest gap and shot the fireball in his hand into the centipede's body.

The violent explosion shattered the cracked shell, peeling off several layers of the thick shell at once.

The centipede's wild laughter disappeared, and he let out a scream of fear, calling on the puppets outside to come in for support.

At the same time, the puppets around him pounced directly on Baizu's body. These puppets not only turned into clay to repair the defects on his body, but also directly replenished his strength, making him even stronger.

A cold light flashed in Hao's eyes, and four ice walls rose from the ground, blocking the mad influx of clay puppets and preventing the centipede from obtaining more body materials.

Jing created large pieces of ice on the floor, even stacking them to a thickness of more than ten centimeters, slowing down the penetration of the dragon vein's power and minimizing the speed at which the centipede repaired itself.

The cooperation of the four ninjas produced obvious results. The huge and round body of the centipede was peeled off layer by layer, and soon became torn into pieces and in a miserable state.

His screams and curses were incessant, revealing endless fear and despair.

Just when everyone thought they had won, Baizu suddenly laughed loudly again: "Hahaha, you fell into my trap. This is where I have lived for four years, and this is also the battlefield I have been preparing for four years!"

Suddenly, the ice on the ground bulged up high, like the back of a monster arching from below.

As the ice collapsed, a powerful energy rushed into the sky.

This natural energy was so powerful that it instantly evaporated the thick ice on the ground, but Hao, Jing and Ye Cang felt nothing. Only Minato Namikaze felt something vaguely.

As the ice evaporated, the ice wall blocking the entrance and exit lost its foundation and collapsed under the pushing of numerous puppets. A large group of clay puppets poured into the royal court like a flood.

The situation unexpectedly turned around in an instant, and the four ninjas couldn't help but frown. They totally didn't understand why this happened.

Baizu laughed loudly: "The dragon vein is the flow of energy on the earth, but it miraculously possesses a tidal force similar to that of the sea, and it corresponds to the movement of the sun and the moon in the sky."

"After I discovered this tidal phenomenon, I recorded it for two years and figured out the timing of the tidal operation. I calculated the time accurately today, so I am here to fight you to the death."

"When the dragon vein tide rises, my recovery and combat power will be strengthened several times, and I will..."

Just as Baizu was talking endlessly about how powerful he was, a figure jumped out from the tide of puppets, holding a huge ball of energy in his hand.

Wind Style: Rasengan

The Rasengan, as big as a volleyball and with a spiral wind cut, hit the laughing centipede hard behind it, and the thick clay defense was shattered like dry sand.

A huge penetrating wound was made on the centipede's huge body, which was enough to pass through Uzumaki Naruto, who launched the attack, and he fell headfirst in front of Namikaze Minato.

Minato's eyes sparkled brightly, and he asked in surprise: "Naruto, what is this jutsu?"

Uzumaki Naruto rubbed his confused brain and answered subconsciously: "This is the Rasengan, an A-level unclassified ninjutsu developed by the Fourth Hokage. It took me seven full days to learn it."

Minato continued to ask: "Rasengan is a wind-style ninjutsu? Does it require wind-style chakra to activate? But I feel like most chakra doesn't have any attributes. Is it a ninjutsu without attributes?"

Uzumaki Naruto replied: "Ah, you are right, Rasengan is an attributeless ninjutsu. I am trying to add wind chakra to it to increase the destructive power of Rasengan."

Suddenly he asked in confusion: "Fourth Hokage, didn't you develop the Rasengan?"

Namikaze Minato shook his head and smiled: "Maybe, but I am definitely not a developer standing here, but a learner."

He raised his hand, and his five fingers formed into claws. Attributeless chakra gathered in the palm of his hand, forming tiny drills that rotated in a staggered manner. As the chakra's rotation speed became higher and higher, it actually emitted a dazzling light under the extremely fast friction.

With just the first attempt, the attributeless Rasengan appeared in the palm of Minato Namikaze's hand.

He threw out the Sword of Ninja Love casually, and he instantly appeared behind a clay puppet. He pressed the Rasengan in his hand on the puppet's back, instantly shattering it into pieces all over the ground.

Namikaze Minato was very satisfied with the power of the Rasengan. He smiled and said, "It is indeed a very suitable ninjutsu for me. This can be regarded as making up for my major shortcoming of insufficient attack power."

"Thank you, Naruto."

Uzumaki Naruto stared blankly at Namikaze Minato who completed the Rasengan in one go, his heart full of doubts.

[Why did the Fourth Hokage thank me? 】

Minato Namikaze was extremely excited. His tactical system was very simple, consisting of only two elements: high speed and precise destruction.

As he obtained the Flying Thunder God Technique from the Fourth Hokage Orochimaru, his speed was increased to a whole new level, causing the attacks of kunai and ninja swords to be unable to keep up.

He had long wanted to obtain a completely new way of attack, and even set his sights on his wife. He also witnessed Kushina use the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball several times.

Minato Namikaze's idea was to develop a new kind of unmarked ninjutsu by simulating the Tailed Beast Ball, which would be used in conjunction with the Flying Thunder God Technique of teleportation to deal a devastating blow to the enemy.

However, from the idea to the realization of a ninjutsu, there are always countless difficulties that need to be overcome.

Especially since Minato wanted the unsealed ninjutsu, only such ninjutsu that could be cast instantly could be coordinated with his Flying Thunder God Technique, otherwise it would be a waste.

Therefore, the development of the Rasengan is extremely difficult, and there has been no significant progress to this day.

But when he saw Uzumaki Naruto use the Rasengan, it was like seeing a formula for solving a problem for Minato Namikaze, and all the difficult problems became clear to him.

Therefore, he did not need to make any preparations and could complete the Rasengan just by stretching out his hand.

The only problem is that Minato Namikaze was not happy with the name Rasengan.

[Too simple, this name is too simple, Rasengan doesn't sound domineering at all. ]

[Based on the characteristics of this ninjutsu and the name of the real developer, Spiral Flash Super Roar Zero is a good choice. Well, maybe we can add a Zero to represent that this is the basic mode. ]

[Once I add the wind chakra into it, I will change the name to Spiral Flash Super Wheel Dance Roar Three Styles.]

[Such a majestic name, as long as I read it out loud, it will definitely shock the enemy and make them tremble with fear! ]
