"Suimen, you take care of the seventeen on the left, and I'll handle the seventeen here who look like 'grandpas'."
"Ah! Okay... okay." Minato Namikaze didn't know who Lin Yu's "grandpa" was, but it wasn't his style to ask too many questions. They needed to deal with these enemies quickly and take Yukiko back for treatment!
*Swish, swish, swish!*
Minato threw seven specially made kunai into the fray. Seven was his limit right now; any more would affect his accuracy, but seven was enough!
Minato Namikaze had completely recovered his chakra. Although he didn't understand how Senior Lin Yu had achieved this, his only thought now was to defeat the enemies before him!
His figure vanished!
Minato Namikaze suddenly appeared behind an Iwagakure ninja, standing on a kunai etched with the Flying Thunder God's formula.
*Pfft!*
Before the enemy could react, Minato's kunai sliced through his throat. His figure flickered and vanished again, along with the specially made kunai stuck in the ground.
Minato Namikaze was no soft-hearted individual. While his personality was sunny and a bit naive, he was no saint. He showed no mercy to his enemies, and a swift kill was his norm.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been known as the Yellow Flash in the future!
Seeing that Minato had begun, Lin Yu casually severed a pillar of earth and chuckled, "Alright, let's start on our side too. For the sake of you extras, I'll give you three seconds to make your first move."
Iwasaki Tomoya was startled at first, then shouted to Minato's side, "Be careful of his thrown kunai! Spread out and use taijutsu to engage him!"
Despite Lin Yu's dismissive mockery, Iwasaki Tomoya felt a surge of anger. However, seeing the little blond-haired kid who had killed half his team back in action, Iwasaki Tomoya's resolve began to waver.
The only reason he dared to pursue Minato Namikaze was because he knew Minato's chakra was depleted, rendering him incapable of exhibiting that incredible "speed."
But he never expected that in just a short while, not only had the opponent recovered from his injuries, but his chakra had also been restored. How could this not fill Iwasaki Tomoya with fear?
Thinking this, Iwasaki Tomoya suddenly had an epiphany! Was this person a medical ninja?!
He was just pretending to be calm and buying time!
Waiting for that little blond-haired kid to finish off some of them before coming to their aid!
What a cunning red-haired brat! He almost fell for his trick!
I knew it, if he really had the ability to instantly kill all seventeen of us, why would he just stand there and let us attack first!
Iwasaki Tomoya, believing he had seen through Lin Yu's scheme, smirked, "Kid, stop pretending! I, Iwasaki Tomoya, have seen through your plan. You have no chance of winning!"
"Huh?"
Lin Yu had no idea what Iwasaki Tomoya had concocted in his mind. Seeing Iwasaki Tomoya's mouth twisted into a 45-degree upward angle, Lin Yu felt a strange sense of familiarity. Could this guy be a transmigrator too?
Lin Yu pointed to his eyes and said to Iwasaki Tomoya, "Hey you, have you seen these eyes of mine before?"
Iwasaki Tomoya glanced over, and his heart tightened. Sharingan? This is bad! He's going to use genjutsu!
Iwasaki Tomoya quickly closed his eyes and shouted, "Beware of genjutsu! Everyone, don't look at his eyes."
The surrounding Iwagakure ninja, upon hearing Iwasaki Tomoya's shout, also closed their eyes like him. Suddenly, it was as if they had entered a "blind massage clinic," with "technicians" everywhere waiting to get paid.
Lin Yu was utterly speechless. If I were going to use genjutsu, would I let you look at my eyes? Does this guy have a problem with his brain?
Never mind, it seems like it was just a coincidence. Let's finish them off quickly, rendezvous with Jiraiya, and go back to persuade my brother Tsuchi-ge faster!
"Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"
As Lin Yu brought his hands together in a clap and shouted, the grass around the Iwagakure ninja quickly collapsed. Thick branches surged from beneath the ground, instantly entangling the seventeen Iwagakure ninja who were standing with their eyes closed. Bound by the branches, they were completely immobilized, and their chakra was being siphoned away.
At this moment, one Iwagakure ninja couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "Iwasaki Tomoya! Are you a spy sent by Konoha?! The opponent didn't use any genjutsu at all, why did you tell us to close our eyes and await our doom!"
"Damn it! Iwasaki Tomoya, may you die a horrible death!"
"Iwasaki Tomoya! I... I'll poke your little ding-dong!" An Iwagakure ninja, tied upside down by branches, no longer bothered to struggle and made a forceful lunge towards Iwasaki Tomoya's crotch.
Iwasaki Tomoya: n
As expected of the Flying Thunder God Technique, I must learn this jutsu to impress the ladies!
Lin Yu wasn't sure if he had spatial talent, but judging from the dojutsu awakened by his Mangekyo, mastering the Flying Thunder God should not be difficult!
After this mission, he would go to Hiruzen Sarutobi and fleece him!
Lin Yu's mission in the Land of Grass this time was simple: repel the Iwagakure!
"Lin Yu, I'm done on my side too!"
Kushina, removing her Tailed Beast Cloak, arrived in front of Lin Yu carrying a bundle of Kusagakure ninja on a stick like candied hawthorns, nudging her head towards him as if seeking praise.
The Kusagakure leader and his subordinates had not fared well. Some were dismembered by the Rasengan, while others had their minds eroded by the Nine-Tails' chakra. Even with their limbs bound, they were biting onto other Kusagakure ninja. The scene was tragic!
Iwasaki Tomoya: Brothers of Kusagakure! Fellow sufferers!
Kusagakure leader: ...Thankfully I'm the one on top, phew~
"Hey! Are you serious with that sigh of relief!?"
Iwasaki Tomoya, enduring the pain, had his mouth tilted at a 75-degree angle. You can imagine how much pain he was in!
It was all that damned red-haired brat's fault! Why did he make me look at his eyes! Hiss~ It hurts so much!
The three women beside them blushed and looked away. The scene made their pretty faces turn crimson, and even the weakened Uzumaki Yukiko had a few blushes on her cheeks.
"Senior, do we need to capture them as prisoners?" Minato Namikaze asked.
Lin Yu shook his head, "No need, taking them along will delay our journey too much. Let's send them on their way."
With that, Lin Yu brought his hands together and controlled the forest he had conjured with his chakra, burying the Kusagakure ninja, bundled together, into the earth to become nourishment for the trees.
There was no bloodshed. Lin Yu gave them a quick end. The branches burrowed into the ground and pierced their hearts. Only faint screams seeped out of the ground, disappearing into the heavens with the breeze.
No one present found Lin Yu cruel. War was like this; mercy to the enemy was cruelty to oneself, and it could even endanger those around you.
Kushina and Mikoto had understood this point before they left the village. While they might not have been able to kill so many people at once, they certainly harbored no sympathy. In fact, if their loved ones were harmed, they wouldn't hesitate to fall from being an angel to a demon.
