Baizu was not at all worried about the sudden change.
In his opinion, it was completely meaningless for Minato Namikaze to temporarily learn new ninjutsu from the Konoha Genin.
Perhaps the addition of this powerful ninjutsu would cause him to lose a few hundred more puppets, but it would never change the outcome of his inevitable victory.
After all, Baizu is just a Chunin, still a long way from being a Jonin, and cannot understand the key difference between a Jonin and a Kage-level ninja.
Only Ye Cang at the scene understood what kind of qualitative change would occur if the Rasengan technique was combined with the teleportation ninjutsu performed by Minato Namikaze.
Before this, Minato Namikaze was a standard Kage-level ninja, but after this, he became one of the top Kage-level ninjas.
Ye Cang himself no longer had the confidence to defeat him.
Also paying attention to this change is Uchiha Yu's wooden clone. They understand more clearly that the real "Golden Flash" will soon appear in its complete form.
However, Uchiha You was more concerned about Uzumaki Naruto. This child of destiny had brought him so many surprises today.
Stimulated by Baizu, he took out the Nine-Tails Chakra and took the opportunity to practice the Myoboku Mountain Senjutsu, creating an indelible time node in the long river of time.
Through this nodule, Uchiha You even touched the truth of time and was only one step away from a critical node.
But unfortunately, as Uzumaki Naruto's changes became stable, the changes in the time ripples also became stable, causing Uchiha Yu's gains to begin to decrease sharply.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath and murmured, "It turns out that the strength of the ripples of time does not depend on the size of the force or the scale of the change. The key is the growth trend of change and connection."
“No matter how big the change is, as long as it tends to be stable, the ripples in time it causes will subside.”
"Come on, Uzumaki Naruto, make some more changes, I am just a little bit short, help me create a little more time ripples, so that I can break through the key and achieve the most important goal I have envisioned!"
"Uzumaki Naruto, if you can help me achieve my goal, I will definitely reward you. It will be a reward that will definitely satisfy you!"
Uchiha You looked at Uzumaki Naruto with great anticipation, hoping that this unexpectedly number one ninja would bring him greater gains.
…
Minato Namikaze has a lot of ideas about the Rasengan.
It's not just a name change, but also getting inspiration from Naruto, injecting chakra with attributes to make the Rasengan undergo a qualitative change in its attributes, and even deforming the chakra again to create a double-deformed Super Rasengan.
However, during the battle, Minato Namikaze's hands and feet moved even faster.
In just a moment, Minato Namikaze designed the next tactics.
He waved his hand and scattered 16 swords of ninja love. These special kunai followed their own trajectories and surrounded the round centipede.
The next moment, Minato Namikaze appeared next to almost every sword of Ninja Love.
At the same time that Minato threw the Sword of Ninja Love up again, he also took out a Rasengan with his other hand and smashed it onto Centipede without any mercy.
As a powerful Kage-level ninja, Minato Namikaze's strength is much stronger than Uzumaki Naruto when he reaches his peak after adulthood.
Although they are both Rasengan, the damage caused by Minato when he used it was far greater than that of Uzumaki Naruto, and he directly created a huge spherical wound on Centipede's body.
The clay in the wound turned into dust almost instantly, causing the recovery speed to become extremely slow.
The powerful impact force of the Rasengan spreads along the body, causing hidden injuries over a larger area, greatly reducing the strength of the defense.
The most terrifying thing is that Minato Namikaze's attack speed is beyond imagination.
In the blink of an eye, Minato Namikaze launched 64 attacks, creating 64 large holes with a diameter of nearly one meter.
With such a horrific damage efficiency, the centipede's recovery speed cannot keep up with it no matter what.
Moreover, even though Baizu was hit so many times in an instant, he didn't even realize that he was being attacked. He just felt his body swelling and suddenly he became uncontrollable.
Namikaze Minato's attack was not over after a few dozen attacks. He had plenty of physical energy and chakra, enough to support him to keep attacking continuously.
The huge spherical clay puppet was beaten into a honeycomb shape in the blink of an eye, and then it was torn and damaged on a large scale. The long whip tail broke first, and then dozens of foot swords were broken one by one.
Before the centipede could even let out a scream, half of its head disappeared.
He couldn't scream anymore.
Before anyone could react, Minato destroyed most of the giant puppet and dug out the core of the centipede human puppet.
The huge puppet that has lost its core control is like a monster without eyes and ears, or even like an octopus without a brain. Not only can it not heal the injuries it has received, it can't even maintain its own image.
The huge dragon vein puppet unexpectedly changed from a strange-looking clay doll into a mud monster struggling on the ground.
The Namikaze Minato of Konoha's 46th year was much younger and more energetic than the him who was in Konoha's 48th year in another time and space. His personality was even more aggressive. Once he found the enemy's weakness, he would deliver a fatal blow without hesitation.
He never thought that he would have to cooperate with Uzumaki Naruto to perform a Tai Chi Rasengan battle between father and son.
Even with the core of the Centipede puppet in his hand, Minato Namikaze only confirmed it for the last time and then destroyed it with the Rasengan, completely ending the battle.
With the death of the centipede, the power of the dragon vein and tens of thousands of puppets lost control and began to run wild. Screams were heard from all directions.
At this time, after reuniting with Lin, Kakashi's team was complete and came to the royal court with the Queen of Loulan as their protector.
Namikaze Minato said to the queen: "Please take back the ownership of the dragon vein as soon as possible and cut off the source of the centipede's power."
The Queen of Loulan asked in surprise: "Anlu... No, Baizu is not dead yet?"
"No." Minato Namikaze pointed to a pile of wood under his feet.
Under the nourishment of the natural energy of the dragon vein, these broken woods are actually slowly recovering, and the amazing fine structure can already be seen.
Namikaze Minato stepped on the wood and broke up the structure again, then said: "The centipede transformed itself into a human puppet, but for some reason, not even a piece of flesh and blood was left, and it became a real puppet that completely relied on the dragon vein to survive."
"Although he has become a puppet without any autonomy, a poor creature whose life and death depends on the dragon vein, if his connection with the dragon vein is not cut off, he will truly be an unkillable monster."
"The current state of the Centipede is very similar to that of the Tailed Beasts."
Minato looked at the Queen of Loulan and said, "So if you want to make Baizu truly die, you, Queen, have to deprive him of his connection with the dragon vein."
"Your Majesty, I would like to remind you that your people may be being hunted down because of the out-of-control puppets. Please cut them off as soon as possible."
"Every minute that passes now, many people from Loulan will be killed."
The Queen of Loulan collected her thoughts, stood in the center of the royal court, stepped on the squirming clay, and began to sing the sacrificial song that had been passed down by the royal family to this day.
As her clear singing voice resonated with the dragon veins, the clay beneath her feet gradually lost its supply of natural energy and fell into silence.
The sawdust under Minato Namikaze's feet no longer recovered. It was as if a piece of wood that had been dormant for thousands of years had encountered fresh oxygen. It lost its color visibly to the naked eye and entered a state of rapid decomposition.
Right in front of everyone, the pile of wood that was once the core mechanism of the centipede puppet weathered into dust within a few breaths, without even a trace left.
The centipede finally died completely.
The exclamations and screams that spread throughout Loulan Kingdom quickly subsided, and it was obvious that the clay puppets had also lost their vitality.
Uzumaki Naruto breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It's all over."
Ye Cang and Hao looked at each other and relaxed.
Jing, who had eaten a mouthful of dog food, pouted in dissatisfaction but said nothing.
Rin and Hatake Kakashi also smiled and relaxed, and Might Guy even raised his hands and cheered loudly.
This was Kai's first A-rank mission after joining the Hatake team, and it was such a grand scene that it would definitely become his most profound memory.
Even the usually cautious Minato Namikaze smiled in a relaxed manner.
But at this moment, natural energy erupted from under the feet of the Queen of Loulan again, even sending the queen herself flying ten meters high.
If Minato Namikaze had not reacted quickly enough and caught her using the Flying Thunder God Technique, the queen would have definitely fallen to death.
Even with Minato's rescue, the Queen still broke both of her legs.
That was the damage caused by the impact of the dragon vein. Even with Minato Namikaze's reaction speed, he was too late to rescue.
Immediately afterwards, a larger-scale eruption began. Natural energy mixed with powerful earth-style chakra shot up into the sky like a volcanic eruption, and spider-web-like cracks appeared on the ground of the royal court.
The earth was shaking. The earthquake caused the newly built high-rise buildings to tilt and collapse. The people living in them screamed, but their screams were drowned out by the rumbling sound.
The violent earthquake made it difficult to stand steadily. All the ninjas concentrated their chakra on their feet and firmly attached themselves to the ground to maintain stability.
Uzumaki Naruto exclaimed loudly: "What's going on? Why would killing this enemy make the situation worse?"
Namikaze Minato looked at the pale-faced Queen of Loulan and asked loudly, "Do you know what's going on? What can we do to solve this disaster?"
The Queen of Loulan answered loudly: "It was Baizu. He destroyed the seal of the Loulan royal family's inheritance. The stability of the dragon vein was destroyed by him. He made himself the key to maintaining stability."
"The dragon vein is now in its prime stage. The energy of the earth veins of the entire earth is concentrating on Loulan. If it cannot be suppressed, the entire Loulan country will be completely destroyed. The entire country will sink into the ground in an unimaginable earthquake, and there will be no living people left."
"Minato jonin, do you know sealing techniques?"
"Only by sealing the dragon veins here in the royal court can we suppress the arrival of this earth vein invasion and save the most Loulan citizens."
Minato Namikaze did not say anything, but instantly moved to the place where the Queen of Loulan had just stood, which was also the core location of the natural energy eruption.
He endured the pain of his body being washed, and quickly formed seals with his hands, performing the Four Symbols Seal, the sealing technique he learned from Kushina and which he was best at.
This is also the most stable sealing technique among all the vortex sealing techniques, even far superior to the Bagua seal.
Only this kind of sealing technique with the simplest structure can maintain stability under the impact of the earth vein energy.
But the power of the dragon vein was completely different from the dragon vein two years later in history. The power of the dragon vein at high tide far exceeded the limit of Minato Namikaze.
Even if one uses all one's strength and places layer upon layer of seals, one cannot suppress the increasingly powerful natural energy.
Minato's sealing technique is like throwing a huge rock into an erupting volcano, which can only temporarily suppress the erupting magma.
Not only did his seal fail to solve the problem of the dragon vein, but it was brewing a greater crisis.
…
The sudden crisis surprised Uchiha Yuuto. After a little hesitation, he decided to help Minato complete the seal.
Although he hoped that Uzumaki Naruto would make another unexpected move, causing a larger time ripple, allowing him to complete the most important task.
But the dragon vein tide was an event that was completely beyond his expectations. If it was not handled well, it would be a disaster similar to the eruption of the Yellowstone super volcano.
It is true that all the people of Loulan would die, but the number of people who died in the end was definitely not just this many.
With Loulan Kingdom as the center, most of the Wind Kingdom, and the River Kingdom in the southeast, tens of millions of people will become direct victims of the eruption.
An eruption of this magnitude would certainly disrupt the climate for years to come.
Extreme cold disasters, extreme droughts, sea storms, and even locust plagues may occur repeatedly.
In such a series of disasters, countless people will die.
Although Uchiha You is very hard-hearted, he cannot sit idly by and watch such a large-scale disaster erupt, and he is also afraid of such a huge cause and effect. If he can prevent the disaster from erupting, he will never stand idly by.
Moreover, after such a large-scale explosion, the dragon vein is likely to undergo tremendous changes in the future, and will no longer be able to travel through time for several years or even decades.
What if from now on I no longer have the power to travel through time? That would be the biggest loss of all.
Out of emotion, reason and conscience, Uchiha You has to take action.
But just as he was about to make a move, a pair of slightly immature hands pressed on Minato Namikaze's hands.
The fairy chakra, a mixture of the Nine-Tails' chakra and natural energy, was injected into the sealing technique like a mighty river, forcibly suppressing the dragon vein energy that was about to erupt.
It turned out that it was Uzumaki Naruto who stood up and, despite the Nine-Tails' dissuasion, tried desperately to stop the disaster that he could not understand.
At this moment, the Nine-Tails Chakra from another world was injected into the Four Symbols Seal.
Senjutsu Chakra is a mixture of Nine-Tails Chakra and natural energy. With the help of natural energy, Nine-Tails Chakra is fused with dragon veins for the first time.
This is an unprecedented change. The ripples of time have risen again, producing dizzying fluctuations.
As the useful wooden clones disband one by one, massive amounts of information converge on the distant original body. Different perspectives bring about a cross-collision of information, which stimulates inspiration.
When more than 100 wooden clones disbanded, Uchiha You finally saw the key information he wanted and grasped the core law of time conversion.
In the mountains of River Country, he used complex hand seals and sealing techniques to simulate the phenomenon that happened to Uzumaki Naruto, and finally a door with a diameter no larger than the cross-section of a hair opened.
[Successfully, I passed through the Dragon Vein’s Gate of Time. No, this should be the Gate of the World! ]
[My path to becoming the Lord God has begun! 】
Uchiha You was so excited that he no longer cared about hiding his existence. He said to Miwa Masayo, "Rika-chan, let's go!"
The tabby cat, who was exercising his tail, asked curiously, "Where are you going, meow?"
Uchiha You replied proudly: "Go and receive Loulan and the dragon vein."
The tabby cat asked in surprise, "Meow? But Loulan is making a lot of noise right now, aren't you afraid that the Six Paths Sage will block you there, meow?"
Uchiha You shook his head and said, "No, I now feel that the Six Paths Sage doesn't know about Loulan."
"Perhaps the Otsutsuki clan's understanding of time is not as good as that of space. They may not be able to perceive the time power of the Loulan Dragon Vein at all."
"You know, my clone in the East Sea has already felt the ripples of time, but neither the Six Paths Sage nor the Ōtsutsuki Isshiki who is hiding in the ninja world has shown any signs of coming out to take a look."
"The power of time from the dragon vein is probably my most powerful weapon against the Otsutsuki clan."
"And now it has been proven that the dragon vein is the key to my path, I must obtain it."
Uchiha You clenched his fists and said firmly: "Anyone who stands in my way will be my mortal enemy."
"Even if the Six Paths Sage is really lying in ambush nearby, I will do my best to beat him to pieces, no matter the cost."
Miwa Masayo laughed: "Okay meow, I don't want to hide anymore meow, beat the Six Paths Sage meow!"
Uchiha You shook his head helplessly and said: "In fact, I am really no match for Otsutsuki Hagoromo, but today is a special situation. If he really comes out, I can only fight him to the death."
"I still hope that the Six Paths Sage has not discovered Loulan, so that we can make a fortune quietly."
"You, you're getting softer and softer, it's really annoying."
Miwa Masayo complained unhappily, "Although you were also very timid in the past and avoided Shimura Danzo and the Third Hokage as much as possible, if any of their men tried to harm you, you would immediately and resolutely fight back, nyan."
"Yuu, count it yourself, how many Root ninjas did you kill before you fell out with Danzo?"
Uchiha You helplessly defended himself: "Rika-chan, the Third Hokage is different from the Six Paths Sage."
"The Third Hokage is generally soft-hearted and has many concerns. Even if he knew I was an enemy, he would not dare to take action for various reasons."
"But the Sage of Six Paths is a truly ruthless man full of idealism. As long as he determines that an enemy must be eliminated, he will not hesitate to kill him, even if he is his own mother or son."
"He is a truly ruthless man."
"I am really scared of this guy."
