Chapter 82: Yellow Flash

A ninja's foot speed far exceeds that of an ordinary person; while not comparable to a city's high-speed rail, it is not much slower than a regular train.

The Konoha ninja set off in the morning, and by evening, they had covered nearly half the distance.

However, since they were preparing to head to the battlefield, it was obviously impossible to travel through the night. After covering half the distance, Orochimaru issued an order requiring all ninja to set up camp and rest.

A group of ninja casually used tents and ninjutsu to build a temporary camp, and after leaving a portion of the ninja to keep watch, everyone else prepared to rest.

Uchiha Feiyu, who had also been preparing to rest, was called over directly by Orochimaru and entered the main tent with a helpless expression.

Just as he walked into the main tent, Uchiha Feiyu was slightly stunned. Besides Orochimaru and a dozen or so Jonin, there was also a young man with a head of blond hair standing there. This young man's face was full of exhaustion and his eyes were bloodshot, yet he still smiled very politely after seeing Uchiha Feiyu enter.

"Feiyu, let me introduce you. This is Jiraiya's disciple, Namikaze Minato. It is precisely because of his existence during this period that those Cloud Ninja have not been able to enter the Land of Fire and wreak havoc."

"Nowadays, he has already carved out a great reputation on the battlefield, and the Cloud Ninja call him the Yellow Flash."

A bitter smile appeared on Namikaze Minato's face, and he shook his head:

"What kind of Yellow Flash am I... The entire Cloud Ninja front line has already been wiped out, and I can only fight guerrilla warfare to delay the Cloud Ninja's pace slightly."

"If killing over 800 Cloud Ninja in three days is considered only 'slightly delaying the Cloud Ninja's pace,' then I think if there were two or three more ninja like you, the Cloud Ninja would probably be wiped out entirely."

Orochimaru's voice was still as cold as ever; only Uchiha Feiyu, who was very familiar with him, could detect the exclamation in his tone.

Of course, let alone Orochimaru being amazed, Uchiha Feiyu was equally astonished—killing 800 Cloud Ninja in three days; unless the opponents were all ordinary Chunin and Genin, Uchiha Feiyu admitted he could not do it himself.

Not to mention that Namikaze Minato was all alone, while the opposition had the Third Raikage and the AB Combination—if Uchiha Feiyu had seen such a situation, he would have already turned tail and run; he wouldn't have had the guts to stay and fight guerrilla warfare!

It can only be said that the Yellow Flash, who possesses the Flying Thunder God, is the eternal god when fighting one-on-one. Conversely, having him lead a large force to fight actually tied his hands and feet, preventing him from unleashing his full strength.

It can be said that having this Yellow Flash lead a large force into the field from the beginning was a tactical error in itself. This kind of person should act alone and fight guerrilla warfare to exert his perfect effect.

"Minato-kun coming here this time is to report some intelligence to us..."

Orochimaru then went on and on, introducing quite a bit about the Cloud Ninja's movements. Unfortunately, Uchiha Feiyu was not concerned about this; as a typical lone-wolf type ninja, he had no intention of commanding battles.

It wasn't until Orochimaru began to speak about the Cloud Ninja powerhouses that Uchiha Feiyu perked up. These powerhouses who could threaten him were the things Uchiha Feiyu truly needed to pay attention to.

"Among all the Cloud Ninja powerhouses, the most difficult to deal with is naturally the Third Raikage. Regarding the issue of the Third Raikage, let's let Minato-kun speak first!"

Orochimaru's words made everyone's gaze turn to Namikaze Minato. Namikaze Minato gave a bitter smile and slowly began to speak:

"The Third Raikage... how should I put it? He is a ninja completely different from a normal ninja!"

"Unlike ordinary ninja who like to use concealment to hide their intelligence, then probe for strengths and weaknesses to find an opening for a fatal blow, the Third Raikage does not conceal any of his intelligence!"

"During battle, the Third Raikage will use the Lightning Release Armor formed by the Lightning Release Chakra Mode to protect his body, and then use Ninja Body Technique to kill his enemies. His characteristics are only three..."

"Attack is extremely high, speed is extremely fast, and defense is extremely strong!"

"Attack is high—so high that defenses like Water Wall or Earth Wall, even if stacked seven or eight layers deep, can be pierced in a single blow!"

"Defense is strong—so strong that a combined ninjutsu released by more than a dozen ninja didn't even scratch the surface of the opponent!"

"Speed is fast—the opponent's speed is equivalent to having the Body Flicker Technique activated at all times. Here in Konoha, besides me, no one can keep up with his speed!"

The Third Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode is known as the Strongest Spear and the Strongest Shield. In the original work, even the S-Rank Wind Style: Rasenshuriken, which specifically counters Lightning Release, could not pierce his Strongest Spear, so one can imagine just how strong his defense was.

The only thing that could pierce the Strongest Shield was that guy's own Strongest Spear, the Hell Stab. It can be said that both his defense and attack are absolutely at the Super S-Rank level.

As for speed, don't look at how he couldn't compare to his son; in reality, the speed gap between the two was only a tiny bit. To ordinary Chunin, Genin, or even Jonin, this speed made no difference to them.

After these words were spoken, the tent was already deathly silent. Let alone those ordinary Jonin, even Orochimaru had a gloomy face and a look of helplessness.

However, Namikaze Minato's words were not yet finished, and he continued:

"Besides this, this Third Raikage might also know some Space-Time Ninjutsu!"

Once these words were out, everyone present couldn't help but let out a soft "Ah," and Uchiha Feiyu was even more shocked.

When did the Third Raikage learn Space-Time Ninjutsu? Could this guy also be a transmigrator?!

"Minato-kun, you aren't mistaken, are you? The Third Raikage... I haven't heard that he has any talent in the area of space-time?"

"This Third Raikage is already monstrous enough; if he really learned Space-Time Ninjutsu, how are we supposed to fight?"

Facing the heated discussion of the crowd, Namikaze Minato also gave a bitter smile:

"I am not certain whether the Third Raikage knows Space-Time Ninjutsu, but the first time, he did indeed appear in the center of our main camp after a sudden flash, and then began to slaughter wantonly."

"It was precisely because of the opponent's sudden attack without any warning, combined with the full mobilization of the Cloud Ninja outside, that led to our main camp being completely lost and nearly wiped out."

"Thinking about it carefully, besides Space-Time Ninjutsu, there doesn't seem to be any other explanation. And at the time, I did indeed feel intense space-time fluctuations."

After Namikaze Minato's voice fell, the entire tent was suddenly silent. The expressions on everyone's faces were a bit ugly, only Uchiha Feiyu seemed to have thought of something and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
