"Konoha really values our Hidden Mist, aside from Orochimaru, they've even sent the Yellow Flash." Minazuki Kan's expression turned solemn.
If the enemy is the Yellow Flash, then his previous orders were too careless and disrespectful to the Yellow Flash.
To deal with an opponent like the Yellow Flash who can match the AB Combination, it's natural to gather all available forces.
Moreover, killing the Yellow Flash and killing an unremarkable Konoha Jonin are not the same thing. The merit and fame they bring are not on the same level.
"If I can kill the Yellow Flash, the position of the Fourth Hokage might not be out of reach," Minazuki Kan thought while gathering a large amount of Chakra.
He would not underestimate the Yellow Flash, nor would he overestimate him. Minazuki Kan believed that he could go toe-to-toe with the Yellow Flash, and with some Hidden Mist Jonin, it would be more like six-four.
At this moment, there's no need for Minazuki Kan to issue orders; the Hidden Mist began to take action to collectively deal with Mokgetsu.
After all, Minazuki Kan is somewhat of a Ninja Clan Leader and needs to save face. He can't just say one person is enough and then change to everyone together a minute later.
"Ice Release: Thousand Ice Soaring!"
Minazuki Kan converted a large amount of Chakra into Ice Release Chakra to create a dense array of ice senbon, which shot towards Mokgetsu like a shower of arrows.
While unleashing the ninjutsu, he was memorizing the location of Mokgetsu's Flying Thunder God Kunai, ready to unleash an Ice Release attack whenever Mokgetsu used Flying Thunder God to move.
Even though the attack range of Thousand Ice Soaring is large, it is not enough against a ninja who mastered Space-Time Ninjutsu. Minazuki Kan was only using it as an opening ninjutsu.
The previous attack was merely probing, but now the real battle begins.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bomb Jutsu!"
A Hidden Mist Jonin gathered Chakra and spat out a water dragon towards Mokgetsu.
"Hiramekarei·Release!"
Aohire Karei raised the Twinsword Hiramekarei, injected Chakra, and released a Chakra Light Ball at Mokgetsu.
Jinin Akebino, more skilled at close combat, didn't attack but instead held his Great Saber, quietly waiting for an opportunity.
Various ninjutsu attacks poured towards Mokgetsu.
In response, Mokgetsu silently divided into a Shadow Clone.
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bomb!"
"Wind Release: Pressure!"
Mokgetsu's main body gathered a large amount of Chakra at his throat, rapidly undergoing nature transformation to spit out a massive flame, forming a sea of fire upfront, and then the Shadow Clone spat out a high-pressure wind sphere.
The moment the high-pressure wind sphere touched the high-temperature flames, it transformed into a terrifying tornado, with the wind fanning the flames, instantly making the sea of fire ferociously devour and turn nearby trees into black ash.
The rain of senbon arrows and various Water Release techniques coming their way were melted and evaporated in face of the overwhelming flames.
Rumble!!
Explosions rang out continuously, and ultimately, the flames and all the incoming ninjutsu turned to nothingness, only the ashen remains of trees and scorched earth proving the ferocity of the fire.
"The Yellow Flash actually has such powerful Fire Release and Wind Release?" Minazuki Kan looked at Mokgetsu in confusion.
One must know that the nature transformation of Water Chakra restrains the nature transformation of Fire Chakra, and so many Hidden Mist used Water Release, yet Mokgetsu didn't move an inch and blocked it with wind and fire ninjutsu.
The Yellow Flash has used other ninjutsu before, but what Mokgetsu just used is completely different.
"Could it be that the Yellow Flash has made another leap in strength?" Minazuki Kan harbored a terrifying suspicion.
Being a young man in his early twenties, Namikaze Minato is currently in a phase of rapid growth with endless possibilities.
"Can't calculate it like that, just say he can respond to more situations now," Minazuki Kan shook his head.
Even though the combined ninjutsu was very strong, it didn't complement the Flying Thunder God well. One couldn't teleport with Flying Thunder God and start sealing signs on the spot; even the slowest person couldn't get hit by such an attack.
Nevertheless, Minazuki Kan quietly noted this information to update the intel on the Yellow Flash later.
Even Minazuki Kan was surprised by Mokgetsu's ninjutsu potency, not to mention the other Hidden Mist, all looking as if they'd seen a ghost.
"This is the level of ninjutsu of a true Ninja World powerhouse. There must be something wrong with Sosuke," Zetsu thought secretly from the shadows.
Mokgetsu's combined ninjutsu was powerful but within a reasonable extent; the Fire Release from Sosuke baffled Zetsu as to how he cultivated it to such a level. Despite living for so long, Zetsu had never seen anyone rely on sheer effort to hone Fire Release to such a degree.
After a simple defense, Mokgetsu took three kunai from the ninja pouch again.
