Konoha's West Gate Official

In the woods, Ximen looked at the gentle Minato opposite, but his expression was extremely serious. It was not an easy task to pass the other party's assessment.

Then he asked: "As long as it can cause any harm to you, it is considered a success, right?"

"Of course, even if it cuts a corner of your clothes, you win."

Minato said with a slight smile, he was quite confident in his own strength.

Hearing this, Ximen's eyes flickered slightly. The two brothers were with each other day and night, and the other brother could be said to be the person who knew him best. To win in this situation, you have to be surprised.

As soon as he thought of this, he took out a kunai from his ninja bag, and like an arrow from a string, he quickly rushed out and launched an attack.

Minato, on the other hand, had a calm look on his face. There was no need to take things too seriously when dealing with a child who was only ten years old.

He raised his arm slightly, easily blocking the former's attack, and then quickly approached with a hand in a grabbing posture, trying to subdue him in one fell swoop.

Seeing this, Ximen whipped out a sharp whip leg, and bumped into each other with his right hand. At the same time, he immediately retreated, barely able to escape.

Seeing this, Minato smiled slightly, then raised his fingers and said, "Not bad, continue."

Ximen didn't say much. He rushed forward again with a look on his face, and his attack became even faster. Through previous trials, he had already understood how powerful the other party was, and he did not dare to hold anything back.

And Namikaze Minato also increased the strength on his hands a bit. No matter how the former attacked, he seemed to be able to do it with ease.

"Be careful, I'm coming."

With a reminder, Minato immediately turned from defense to offense, his fists and palms were extremely fierce. Even if he doesn't use Flying Thunder God and Rasengan, his strength is still strong.

After a few moves, Ximen was forced to retreat continuously, and the danger was everywhere. He truly understood the terror of a shadow-level powerhouse.

However, little did he know that Minato was even more surprised at this time. This younger brother's strength really exceeded his expectations. His physical fitness is stronger than that of many adults, especially his extremely keen perception, which is even more extraordinary.

There were several attacks that were about to succeed, but were dodged at critical moments, as if the opponent had anticipated his actions.

"interesting."

He only smiled slightly, and then launched a more powerful attack.

Seeing that the offensive became more and more fierce, Ximen complained in his heart. The gap in absolute strength could not be made up so easily.

Although he can use his sense of sight to capture the opponent's attack trajectory in advance, being able to feel it doesn't mean he can definitely dodge it. If his physique and spirit hadn't been strengthened to a certain extent, he might have been captured long ago.

At this time, Namikaze Minato struck hard, knocking the former away more than ten meters.

Ximen groaned and hid in the surrounding woods to adjust a bit. The fierce battle just now left him a little overwhelmed.

Minato smiled slightly, and then walked towards the woods, looking around for any trace of him.

At this moment, a subtle sound of breaking through the air was heard, and two black shurikens were seen flying across each other at a very tricky angle.

Minato still had a calm expression on his face, and he knocked one of them to the ground with a flick of his fingers, and then he easily avoided another attack by shifting his body slightly.

At this moment, a burst of white smoke burst out, and the shuriken disappeared out of thin air, replaced by Ximen's figure.

"Spiral pills!"

With a loud shout, rich chakra condensed in the palm of his hand, and turned into a round translucent energy ball under high-speed compression and rotation.

This is Namikaze Minato's signature skill, the A-level Muji Ninjutsu, the Rasengan!

He has been practicing hard for this move and was able to master it skillfully half a year ago.

Seeing this scene, Namikaze Minato also had a look of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that the other party could actually do it to this extent.

Not only did he secretly learn the Rasengan, but he also used the transformation technique so skillfully that he even hid it from himself.

Faced with such a surprise attack, even some Jonin would probably fall for it. But if you want to defeat him based on this, it is not that easy.

Looking at the incoming Rasengan, Minato quickly turned sideways to avoid the attack, then raised his hand to grab the former's arm and wrist, and threw him to the ground with a sudden force.

The Rasengan exploded, and the powerful energy burst caused the solid ground to burst open, creating a large crater. At the same time, Ximen was also captured and his body was pinned to the ground.

Minato chuckled and said, "You performed well, but it's time to end."

The subdued "Ximen" didn't seem to be disappointed or nervous at all, and also smiled: "Really?"

As soon as the words fell, the figure actually shattered with a "bang" and turned into a puff of thick smoke that dissipated.

"Shadow Clone!"

Minato was really shocked this time, and he never expected that the other party would let a shadow clone cast the Rasengan.

You know, even a chunin's chakra level will consume nearly half of the chakra after using two advanced ninjutsu in succession.

But Ximen paid such a high price just to make him take it lightly and expose his flaws. I have to admit that I really underestimated this brother.

However, if this is just bait, then where is the backup plan...

Just when this idea flashed through his mind, the shuriken that had been knocked to the ground suddenly turned into thick smoke and dissipated, and Ximen's true body was revealed!

"The Konoha Whirlwind!"

A wide-ranging lower leg sweep was launched, attacking the opponent's bottom plate with lightning speed. This is a physical technique that he and Metkai developed together some time ago, and it just comes in handy now.

Minato's expression changed, and he dodged with his quick movements and quick reactions.

But it wasn't over yet. The moment he stood up with his feet dangling in the air, another Rasengan struck. It was obviously a combo.

Seeing this scene, Namikaze Minato finally showed a cautious look in his eyes, and then his body made a difficult turn without any help, avoiding the former's attack.

At the same time, his right palm slammed onto Ximen's arm, deflecting the direction of the attack at the critical moment. The Rasengan in the former's hand hit the big tree next to him.

With a "bang", the strong tree trunk burst open, and the tree as thick as a washbasin was directly broken.

At the same time, a flash of light flashed from Ximen's eyes, and he turned around to remove the remaining power of the Rasengan.

Immediately afterwards, the short blade at the waist was instantly unsheathed, and a cold light suddenly burst out!

"Draw the knife and cut!"
