Naruto: My Unique System

Chapter 174: Seals And Ninjutsu Talents!

"Fire Release! Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu!"

On the training ground, as Minato leaped back, a series of small fireballs were expelled, rushing towards Tatsuma who was approaching him.

Bang Bang Bang~

Tatsuma didn't counter with Ninjutsu nor did he attempt to dodge. With his hands wrapped in Chakra, he directly met the fireballs, and at the moment of collision, the Chakra on his palms exploded, shattering the fireballs.

Combining techniques of Enhanced Strength and Vacuum Palm, these low-power Ninjutsu were rendered ineffective, allowing Tatsuma to quickly close the distance between him and Minato.

At such a short distance, Minato couldn't even form hand seals in time. His hands brushed past the outer side of his thighs, and two shurikens were thrown out by him.

Facing the shurikens, Tatsuma slightly slowed down, then proceeded to deflect them. After all, Minato's skill in Ninja Tool Throwing was also extremely high, and there was a real possibility of being injured by his endlessly changing trajectories of ninja tools if one wasn't careful.

Minato, who had widened the distance once again, quickly landed. Unable to adjust his posture in the air or exert a second burst of power, his speed advantage was completely nullified.

Seeing Minato trying to slip away again, Tatsuma's face darkened. He now detested Minato's astonishing speed talent. With one hand, he threw ninja tools to block Minato's path, forcing him to constantly change speed and slow down.

With the other hand, he began forming hand seals, a jutsu he rarely used in real combat.

"Ninja Art! Bringer of Darkness Jutsu!"

In an instant, Minato felt his field of vision closing in as if two curtains were slowly drawing together, leaving nothing but pitch-black darkness in front of him. He quickly overflowed his Chakra, sensing the Chakra fluctuations around him.

However, he dared not use Genjutsu Release to dispel it, as it would disrupt his own Chakra. Tatsuma was too familiar with him; any disruption to his Chakra would give him the opportunity to defeat him.

Though in darkness, Minato's Chakra Sensing still allowed him to maintain distance from Tatsuma. Suddenly, Minato sensed Chakra ahead of him, evidence of Ninjutsu.

"This Chakra is Earth-Style Wall!"

Minato quickly assessed the situation and swiftly veered to the right, attempting to evade the obstruction of the Earth-Style Wall.

Thunk~

Suddenly, Minato felt everything spinning, and the darkness in front of him gradually disappeared. Minato faintly saw, beside the Earth-Style Wall, a towering tree.

There was still a not-so-shallow dent on the trunk, evidently caused by Minato's Iron Head Technique.

Chakra Sensing could detect Chakra and discern enemy numbers and movements, but it couldn't sense naturally occurring objects. Perhaps there were more sophisticated sensory jutsu that could achieve this, but clearly Minato didn't possess them.

"Minato, is this the fifth time you've fallen for this?"

Ting~

Tatsuma, with a kunai held against Minato's neck, smiled. Minato, upon hearing this, gave a resigned smile.

Indeed, he had fallen for it five times, the same trick every time.

No matter if he went left or right, he would collide. Even on the third attempt, when he chose to jump to avoid, little did he know that above the Earth-Style Wall was the canopy of a large tree, and he ended up crashing into the protruding branches.
