Naruto: My Unique System

Chapter 183: Injuring Hanzo

Minato looked at Tatsuma beside him in a daze. After a series of large-scale Ninjutsu, he noticed that Tatsuma's expression had become somewhat tired.

This rapid chakra depletion and the body's unconscious conversion of stamina into chakra were normal signs for a ninja, but what was abnormal was that Tatsuma's chakra had instantly become saturated again.

"Tatsuma, are you okay?" Minato asked with some concern. Tatsuma smiled and replied, "I'm fine for now."

The Eight Trigrams Seal formed by the Four Symbols Seal and the Double Four Symbols Seal are an extremely flexible Sealing Jutsu. It has a miraculous effect on energy sealing and can autonomously adjust the rate of energy leakage.

Tatsuma had partially released the Four Symbols Seal engraved on his arm by Uzumaki Mito. He didn't dare to fully release it, afraid of falling into a state dominated by emotions.

However, even if only a small opening of the seal was released, the dispersing tailed beast chakra quickly replenished Tatsuma's depleted chakra, and it even had a revitalizing effect on his body cells.

Although this strictly controlled flow of Nine-Tails chakra couldn't affect Tatsuma's current emotions, this chakra, unlike his own refined chakra, couldn't be freely manipulated. Still, it was a decent supplement.

Tatsuma reached into his pouch behind his waist and pulled out a small scroll, saying to Minato, "I can't use ninjutsu for the time being. I need to engage in close combat. Be careful."

To actively use the Nine-Tails' chakra and perform large-scale ninjutsu, Tatsuma couldn't do it yet. He needed a little time to adapt to this particularly energetic and subjectively active chakra.

Hearing this, Minato also drew out a kunai, nodding in agreement.

In fact, Minato was now more proficient in close combat. Deep in the heartland of the Land of Rain, his Fire Release and Wind Release would be greatly affected, while Lightning Release was his least proficient nature transformation technique.

And in comparison, his speed, which was already not inferior to that of a jonin, was his advantage. Coupled with the close combat skills he had honed over the years, his close-quarters threat on this battlefield was undoubtedly greater.

It was only earlier that he had to choose long-range attacks to complement Tatsuma's large-scale ninjutsu.

Seeing Minato was ready, Tatsuma quickly unsealed the scroll in his hand. The chakra short sword gifted by Sakumo Hatake fell into his hand.

The two exchanged a glance, and almost simultaneously, they unleashed their power and charged towards the distant Rain Ninja.

"Wind Release: Blade of Wind!"

Wind nature chakra overflowed from the chakra short sword, wrapping around the blade. The blade extended seemingly out of nowhere, slicing through several Rain Ninja directly.

With Tatsuma, who no longer needed to conserve chakra, the Blade of Wind technique ended directly without even a withdrawal motion. He swiftly leaped up and charged towards a Chunin from the Land of Rain.

"Water Release: Water Blade Slash!"

This time it was the gathering of Water Release chakra. Tatsuma descended from high altitude and swung down, the Rain Ninja hastily blocking with a ninjato, only to be easily cut through by the chakra short sword.

The blade, infused with Water Release chakra, sliced through the Rain Ninja's body. The Water Release chakra rapidly corroded the Rain Ninja's body, causing his blood to flow faster, resulting in severe blood loss, and he fell to the ground unable to rise.
