Chapter 12: The Master Defeats His Student
As Minato appeared, Hashirama and Tobirama's eyes quickly focused on him.
"This yellow-haired man is the Fourth Hokage? He's wearing the Hokage robe and he's still so young. Is this the Fourth Hokage?" Hashirama sighed, and he assessed Minato's overall strength with a single glance, and was very satisfied.
"Is this Hiraishin no Jutsu? This guy actually learned the forbidden art that I created. Truly amazing!"
Tobirama also clicked his tongue. It had been more than ten years since he had invented Hiraishin no Jutsu, and he had never kept it secret.
But only a few people in Konoha could learn it, but would ninjas learn it decades later? So, the Fourth Hokage could be considered his student?
Secretly, Tobirama felt happy, feeling like he was escorting his grandson.
"Sir, what is the Fourth Hokage's name? How is he?"
"His name is Namikaze Minato."
"For one thing, he can be considered the best Hokage in history."
"Ah?"
Hashirama and Tobirama were both a little surprised. Wasn't it disrespectful to praise someone's Fourth Hokage as the best in front of the First and Second Hokage?
At least be tactful and save face!
Lux didn't bother to argue, that's what he thought in his heart.
Minato wasn't the strongest Hokage, but he was undoubtedly the best.
He was born an ordinary person, but he single-handedly swept the Third Great Ninja War. He was loyal to the village, loved his wife deeply, was decisive in killing, and had such great military exploits that even the most formidable residents of Kumogakure Village dared not breathe, and Hiruzen even took the initiative to hand over the throne.
Besides his short lifespan, he had almost no shortcomings.
Again, give him a few more decades.
Then there would be no need to play out most of the later parts of Naruto.
And Konoha's future… there wouldn't be many things like losing power and embarrassing the village. When Kumogakure Village kidnapped Hinata, was it because the title of Yellow Flash was no longer fierce?
Hearing this, Hashirama and Tobirama became very curious about this future Fourth Hokage.
They wanted to know what kind of extraordinary junior this immortal being could call the best Hokage.
"Of course, he's very good as Hokage. But as another identity, he failed…"
"Ah?"
The reversal was a little quick, and the two were a little confused.
But this time, Obito also arrived, drawing their attention again.
"Is that the Sharingan? Another evil Uchiha?"
"Tobirama!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say evil. But it's most likely that this guy is controlling the Kyuubi, right? What's his method of movement? Is this also space-time ninjutsu?"
"Wait, then he's the one who attacked the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki while she was giving birth? Brother, this guy is a wicked beast!"
Tobirama was also excited and immediately labeled Obito as a wicked Uchiha.
It was hard for Hashirama to say anything about this. Attacking a pregnant woman giving birth was indeed shameful.
This Uchiha was indeed a bit bad…
"Wait a minute, he has a familiar aura about him. It seems like he has your cells?"
"Indeed, half of this guy's body is your brother's cells. What happened?"
Tobirama also showed doubt, when did the Uchiha get his brother's cells?
"You'll understand after this question."
"Come on, let's bet first. Who do you think will win?"
Lux was interested and decided to gamble.
However, Hashirama and Tobirama both agreed that Minato would win.
The first was based on vision and experience. In Hashirama's eyes, although Obito was mysterious, his aura was too childish. Far from being comparable to the battle-experienced Minato.
Tobirama's judgment was even simpler, it was purely faith in his Hiraishin no Jutsu. This space-time ninjutsu was too abnormal.
"Tsk… Alright then, how long do you think this battle will last?"
Hashirama: "One hour?"
Tobirama: "I think ten minutes!"
The two heard Lux's intention and realized that Minato would win. But the assessment of the battle time differed.
Hashirama, who was able to fight Madara for three days and three nights, and Tobirama, the fastest man in the ninja world, naturally had different feelings about time.
❀❀❀
On the other side, the fight between Minato and Obito began instantly.
There was no need to talk much about the outcome.
In just two encounters, Minato analyzed Obito's attack methods and the weaknesses of Kamui.
And during the fight, Obito was seriously injured by Rasengan + Hiraishin no Jutsu 2nd Stage!
The whole process only took two rounds and lasted less than half a minute.
"This is Hiraishin no Jutsu Stage 2? Tobirama, he's even learned your tricks?"
Hashirama clicked his tongue, he remembered vividly the trick used to chop Izuna to death.
"No, this is different!"
"He's upgraded Hiraishin no Jutsu. My second stage Hiraishin no Jutsu can only be transferred to moving objects and cannot activate ninjutsu at the same time."
"This Fourth Hokage can actually activate Hiraishin no Jutsu while performing ninjutsu."
"Activate two ninjutsu at the same time? So powerful!"
"No wonder the evil Uchiha miscalculated…"
"This guy's Hiraishin no Jutsu and teleportation technique are better than mine!"
"The next Hokage of Konoha is really good, very good!"
Tobirama was very generous with his praise, and was able to praise him personally, even though his personality was arrogant, it was enough to show Minato's greatness.
Even though he couldn't overcome the limitation of "a ninja can't perform two ninjutsu at the same time", but the Fourth Hokage actually did it!
Even though Rasengan doesn't require seals, it's still outrageous.
"Able to use two ninjutsu at the same time, with such sharp fighting intuition, and still so young, this Fourth Hokage might be stronger than me in the future!"
Hashirama also praised excitedly.
Of course, this was a bit exaggerated, but it was also a beautiful expectation for outstanding junior ninjas.
After all, he and Madara didn't actually have this strength when they were Minato's age.
With such an outstanding Fourth Hokage leader, he could already envision a bright future for Konoha.
However, since the Fourth Hokage is so strong, how did the Fourth Great Ninja War begin?
On the other side.
The fight between Minato and Obito had also ended.
When Rasengan hit Obito's back just now, it also carved a Hiraishin no Jutsu mark.
Minato teleported right in front of Obito and shot another Contract Seal, directly severing the connection between Obito and the Kyuubi, and releasing the Kyuubi from illusion control. Less than three rounds.
Obito was completely defeated by Minato. Not only did he lose the Kyuubi, half of his body was seriously injured, his left arm melted completely, and he was no longer able to fight.
"As expected of the Fourth Hokage, you were able to break my arm and release the Kyuubi."
"But the Kyuubi will be mine sooner or later!"
"I am the one who can unify the world. In terms of means, I have more means…"
Obito uttered his harsh words, but his body was honest, and he immediately activated Kamui to escape. If he stayed any longer, his life might be in danger.
Minato didn't choose to chase after him and immediately rushed towards the village.
Compared to the mysterious masked man who ran away, the Kyuubi still needed to be dealt with immediately.
