Naruto: The Strongest Medical Ninja in the Shinobi World

Chapter 79 Border War 2

This toad is enormous, similar in size to Gamabunta, and is about sixteen or seventeen meters tall.

It held a giant spiked iron fork in one hand and a huge shield like a pot lid in the other.

Gamaken is quite powerful. Although it is a defensive summon, it is good at both offense and defense and is brave in battle.

More importantly, it is loyal and obedient, never backing down in the face of a powerful enemy, and fighting to the end even when injured.

Han looked at the giant toad summoned by the blond ninja and immediately confirmed that it was Jiraiya's direct disciple.

He has always been extremely confident in his own strength and speed, and no one in Iwagakure can match him.

But today, he was completely outpaced in speed by a young Konoha ninja.

I never expected that Konoha would have such a rising star who is proficient in space-time ninjutsu.

Although he did not recognize the "Flying Thunder God Technique," he knew that once such a genius rose to prominence, he would become a major threat to Iwagakure.

The Han dynasty has made up its mind: we must kill them today and eliminate this threat forever.

Waaah—!

The steam billowed through the specially made armor, producing a sharp sound like a train whistle that echoed throughout the battlefield.

A white tail suddenly appeared behind Han, swaying from side to side and radiating a powerful aura of chakra.

Whoosh—! Rumble!

His speed increased again, his figure blurred, and he rushed towards Toad Jian like a swift shadow.

The speed of the car was so fierce that the hard rocks beneath its feet crumbled all the way.

Clang!

Despite its large size, the toad was surprisingly quick, and the giant shield blocked its way in time.

Han's red armor crashed heavily into the giant shield of the pot lid.

Gamaken was knocked back several meters, but he managed to regain his footing thanks to his massive weight and strength.

During the standoff, it swung its giant iron fork and slashed down fiercely!

Seeing the iron fork coming, Han quickly retreated.

Although it is fast, it relies on steam propulsion, which has obvious drawbacks—it has a strong straight-line impact but is not agile enough when turning.

Even steam-powered punches and kicks are difficult to execute smoothly and effortlessly.

At this moment, Han created distance, his chakra surging again, preparing to unleash a more powerful "Jet Kick," intending to aim at the toad's head and flip it over in one fell swoop.

Swish!

Just as he was about to unleash his power, Minato's figure suddenly appeared behind him.

During the earlier probing attack, Minato had already secretly imprinted the Flying Thunder God Technique formula onto Han's red armor.

Han's attention was briefly drawn to Hama Jian, causing him to reveal a momentary weakness.

He quickly adjusted his offensive and suddenly swung his arm to counterattack.

However, Minato seized this fleeting opportunity, placing his right hand on Han's shoulder, his chakra surging and connecting the two.

call out!

Shuimen and Han's figures disappeared from their original spots at the same time.

-

Two kilometers outside the canyon, in the direction of the Hidden Rock Unit, lies a secluded valley.

Two figures suddenly appeared.

The instant he landed, Minato dodged Han's outstretched arm with a flick of his wrist, and with one hand forming a hand seal, the numerous explosive tags buried around him instantly ignited.

Han frowned and looked around. The trap was so vast that escape would be difficult.

Boom! Boom! Boom! ...

The detonators exploded one after another, sending debris flying, flames shooting into the sky, and the roar echoing back to the battlefield.

The giant rock above the trap was blasted apart and tumbled down with a crash.

At the very moment of the explosion, Minato's figure flashed and he returned to the original battlefield.

If possible, he would prefer to take the enemy to a more distant place.

However, the opportunity to forcibly remove them is extremely short-lived; two kilometers is the limit.

He wasn't sure if the explosive tag trap could kill the Iwagakure Jinchuriki, but the opportunity had been created.

Next, they will join forces with Jiraiya to defeat the other Jinchuriki as soon as possible.

-

While Rōshi was engaged in a fierce battle with Jiraiya, he caught a glimpse of the blond-haired boy fighting with Han.

Unlike Han, he recognized that the other party was using the "Flying Thunder God Technique" that the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, had once used.

He never expected that someone could learn this technique and use it so skillfully in actual combat.

Like Han, Lao Zi was also aware of the threat posed by this young ninja.

With that kind of teleportation speed, once they rush into the Hidden Stone Formation, no ordinary ninja would stand a chance.

Rather than defeating Jiraiya, he would rather kill this boy here.

After Han was taken away, the distant explosions distracted Lao Zi slightly, but he was not worried about Han's safety.

He himself, however, dared not be careless in the slightest when facing the combined attack of Jiraiya and the young ninja.

In particular, the opponent also summoned two giant toad spirit beasts.

The giant short sword and spiked iron fork kept swinging, and even with the Lava Release Chakra Mode protecting him, he dared not take the blows head-on.

Jiraiya and Minato worked together seamlessly, with Gamabunta and Gamaken as the main attackers, while occasionally using shuriken and kunai to restrain Rōshi.

With the two deliberately guiding the situation, the battle gradually deviated from the main battlefield between Konoha and Iwagakure.

-

Han, who was thrown into the explosive tag trap by Shuimen, did not panic even though he knew he could not escape.

The moment the explosive tag detonated, his chakra erupted.

"Boil Release: Unparalleled Strength!"

The chakra instantly rose to its boiling point, and the erupting steam counteracted the impact of the explosion.

Woo! Woo—!

Faced with flying pebbles and rolling boulders, Han, relying on his steam armor and tailed beast chakra, charged outwards recklessly.

The whistling sound grew sharper as it approached from afar, and in just over ten seconds, he had rushed back to the battlefield like a speeding train.

Minato's heart tightened upon hearing the siren.

The enemy was clearly not seriously injured—the Jinchūriki was indeed extraordinary.

"Unfortunately, I'm not skilled enough with the Rasengan yet, and I can't condense it instantly." He sighed inwardly.

In a flash, without hesitation, he shot a kunai at Lao Zi, his hands quickly forming a hand seal.

"Sword Shadow Clone Technique!"

The kunai that flew out instantly split into dozens of entities, covering Old Purple like a dense rain.

Clang! Clang! Clang! ...

Despite his continuous blocking and dodging, Lao Zi was still hit in the body by three kunai.

The kunai that struck turned into white smoke and dissipated, but the wounds it caused healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Minato, there's a limit to how high the temperature can be tolerated. Use your Wind Release to help me later," Jiraiya said quickly during a lull in the battle.

"Understood!" Minato replied.

Seeing that another Jinchūriki was about to return, Jiraiya had to seize the opportunity before him.

"Bunta!"

"Okay!"

"Combination Ninjutsu: Toad Oil Flame Bullet!"

Jiraiya formed hand seals and unleashed Fire Release, while Gamabunta spat out toad oil.

Minato teleported onto Gamabunta's back, placed his palm on Gamabunta's head, and unleashed a jet of wind-style chakra wrapped around an oil column.

Wind, fire, and oil, the three elements combine to create a blazing flame that crashes down on Lao Zi.

Just as Lao Zi was about to form a hand seal to unleash a lava wall to defend himself, he was tightly wrapped up from behind by a long white hair.

"Shadow clones? When?"

He turned around and saw that another Jiraiya had somehow sneaked up behind him using Earth Release.

The white hair was as hard as iron, and even when it was burned by the lava in the Lava Release mode, making a hissing sound, it was still firmly bound.

Jiraiya, the Shadow Clone, didn't hesitate and formed hand seals.

"Earth Release·Yellow Spring Marsh!"

The ground beneath Lao Zi's feet instantly turned into a muddy swamp, and the sinking silt entangled his feet, making it difficult for him to escape.

As the flames rushed towards him, the chakra of the Four-Tails around Rōshi surged dramatically.

A terrifying aura surged into the sky, and the almost solidified red chakra enveloped its entire body, eventually transforming into a giant ape head.

The wind fanned the flames, and the toad oil flaming bombs, carrying intense heat capable of incinerating everything, fiercely attacked.

However, the raging flames were actually dispersed by the solidified Four-Tails chakra on Old Purple's body.

With the help of the surging power of the tailed beast, Rōshi easily broke free from the Swamp of the Dead and quickly escaped the sea of ​​fire.

-

At this moment, Han roared back with a sharp cry.

Seeing that Old Purple was getting serious, Han was not to be outdone. He released all the tailed beast chakra within his body, condensing it into a giant white beast head.

The two unleashed their chakra with unrestrained force, and the sheer power of their outward projection caused the ground rocks to crack and split open with fissures of all sizes.

The entire battlefield came to a brief halt due to these two terrifying forces, and the ninjas from Konoha and Iwagakure looked on in astonishment.

Jiraiya stood side by side with Minato, their expressions more solemn than ever before.

"So this is a Jinchuriki... The chakra is terrifying."

Minato's teammates, who had been unable to intervene in the battle, stood frozen in place, drenched in cold sweat, staring at the terrifying aura emanating from the enemy.

"If you want to fight us, bring the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!" Old Purple shouted with a loud laugh.

The ape's head opened its massive jaws, and terrifying chakra began to condense, eventually forming a small black sphere.

This sphere, containing destructive power, gradually expanded as chakra was continuously injected into it.

On the other side, Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, remained silent, and a black sphere that kept growing larger condensed in front of his white beast head.

"It's a Tailed Beast Ball! Let's retreat, Minato!" Jiraiya said solemnly.

"yes!"

"Bunta, Ken, you two go back first," Jiraiya shouted.

"Jiraiya, Minato, take care," Bunta replied in a gruff voice.

Before Hama Ken could utter a word of humility, he and his brother turned into white smoke and disappeared.

Minato reached out and touched Jiraiya, then used Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to his two teammates.

Fortunately, they all carried Flying Thunder God Kunai.

He quickly connected the three of them with chakra.

At this moment, two black Tailed Beast Balls, carrying destructive force, attacked fiercely.

"Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Whoosh!

Rumble—!!!

The explosion sent rays of light soaring into the sky, and the hard rock ground rapidly cracked, instantly forming a huge crater.

The entire Red Rock Canyon shook violently, and the roar echoed through the sky.

-

On the main battlefield not far away, the vigilant individuals had already fled far away when the two Jinchūriki released their destructive aura.

At that moment, an explosion occurred, the earth shook violently, and the shockwave whipped up a fierce wind. The ninjas who were fighting fiercely were suddenly knocked off balance and fled in a sorry state.

Some people were blown away by the strong wind, and some were injured by falling rocks.

Faced with such an attack, the aftershocks alone would be unbearable.

The previous fighting now seemed like a joke.

Fortunately, Jiraiya and Minato intentionally diverted the battle from the main battlefield, and Rōshi and Han also considered their subordinates and did not aim the Tailed Beast Balls at ordinary ninjas.

Although there were casualties, the entire army was not wiped out.

-

Several kilometers away, Minato landed suddenly with Jiraiya and the other two, while two of his teammates stumbled and fell.

In the distance, the light from the Tailed Beast Ball explosion pierced the sky and the earth; the destructive white light was chilling.

A rumbling sound followed, and the ground beneath their feet trembled.

"Alas, are we dead? Is this the afterlife?" Dekayi, with his brown skin, looked around in panic.

"Don't worry, Dekaichi, Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique to get us out of here." Maki, with her black hair, was still shaken. "If it weren't for the Flying Thunder God Technique, we probably would have really gone to the afterlife."

"It was a close call." Jiraiya sighed. "I never expected that two Jinchuriki from Iwagakure would actually master the Tailed Beast Ball."

"Is that the power of the Tailed Beasts...?" Minato's expression was solemn as he gazed into the distance at the exploding light.

He thought of Kushina, and the Nine-Tails at the Jinchuriki handover ceremony—

It is currently sealed within Kushina's body.

Only after experiencing the Tailed Beast Ball firsthand did he truly realize the terror of the Tailed Beasts and understand the importance of Jinchuriki to the ninja village.

"Minato, lead us back and cover the retreat of the Konoha forces together," Jiraiya said in a deep voice.

"Yes, teacher," Minato and his two teammates replied in unison.

If the Jinchuriki of Iwagakure hadn't mastered the Tailed Beast Ball, they might still be able to defend this key passage in the canyon.

For now, we can only evacuate temporarily.

If this attack lands on Konoha's position, ordinary ninjas would be powerless to defend against it.

Only he and Minato were able to contend with him using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The defending forces must now retreat, disperse, and adopt a mobile defense.

He planned to have Minato use the Flying Thunder God Technique to harass the enemy's rear, cut off their supplies, and force Iwagakure to stop there.
