Chapter 18 Phantom Instantaneous Movement Technique
"You two, catch this!"
The medical ninja, who loved watching the drama unfold, tossed his and Yuya's ninja tool kits to Gojo Yoru and Minato Namikaze.
The two of them took it and put it on with practiced ease.
"Nice to meet you!"
Gojo Yoru and Namikaze Minato once again formed a opposing hand seal towards each other.
Immediately, before Yuya could shout for the battle to begin again, they simultaneously reached for their ninja tool pouches at their waists, took out three shuriken, and threw them at each other.
At the same time, they held kunai in their hands and followed behind the shuriken, their eyes fixed on each other through the shuriken.
In his eyes, he saw the image of swords clashing and grazing as they were shot at him.
Gojo Yoru and Namikaze Minato, as if looking in a mirror, simultaneously raised their kunai and deflected the incoming shuriken.
Clang—
The sounds of two sharp blades clashing almost overlapped.
From the students' perspective, Gojo Yoru and Namikaze Minato, who were originally a few meters apart, suddenly turned into black afterimages and crashed into each other after deflecting the flying shuriken.
After the figures appeared, a series of incredibly intense and dazzling hand-to-hand combat ensued.
While students in grades one through four were still forbidden from using kunai, Gojo Yoru and Minato Namikaze not only used them with ease, but their dynamic vision was also like the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, able to accurately capture every movement of the other and the trajectory of the kunai's attack.
With their terrifying reflexes, the way they parried, dodged, and attacked was so effortless and graceful, as if it were not a battle between ninjas but a contest between samurai.
The medical ninja, who had initially taken this unconventional duel lightly, now had a serious expression, his eyes filled with horror.
Are you kidding me? Such agility and reaction speed, are they really just two fourth-graders?
If you didn't know better, you'd think it was two Uchiha who had awakened their Sharingan fighting!
Yuya's body was tense, ready to teleport in and interrupt the battle at any moment.
He didn't want his negligence to cause trouble for his two students, whom he was incredibly proud of.
Intense close-quarters combat demands a high level of concentration.
If you're not careful, your opponent might seize your weakness and decide the outcome of the game.
In this respect, Gojo Yoru undoubtedly has the advantage.
In just a few rounds, Gojo Yoru created an opportunity.
With a slanted slash, it collided with Minato Namikaze's kunai once again. Taking advantage of the moment, Yoru's five index fingers inserted into the ring at the end, using the force to change the kunai from an inverted grip to an upright grip, and then slashed it hard towards Minato Namikaze's chest.
Anyone else would have been caught off guard by Gojo Yoru's unexpected move.
Minato Namikaze, whose reaction speed was astonishing, instinctively gathered chakra in his feet the instant he saw Gojo Yoru change his attack.
Before Gojo Yoru's kunai could even reach him, Minato Namikaze vanished in a blur.
Gojo Yoru didn't seem surprised.
As soon as Minato Namikaze disappeared, he turned around and threw the kunai in the direction of eight o'clock.
With a clang, the two kunai collided and bounced off to the ground.
Then, a series of loud thuds rang out, and Gojo Yoru and Namikaze Minato's fight went from kunai melee to hand-to-hand combat.
This time, Gojo Yoru gained the upper hand even faster.
The difference in their physical abilities was simply too obvious.
At this age, girls often develop faster than boys.
Yoru Gojo, who has grown to 1.6 meters tall, is only about a head taller than Kushina Uzumaki, which is about 20 centimeters.
However, he was a head taller than Minato Namikaze, about 25 centimeters taller.
The difference in height translates into an absolute dominance in strength.
Minato Namikaze simply blocked Gojo Yoru's whip kick to the side, and his entire arm went numb. He leaned to the side and was almost kicked to the ground by Gojo Yoru.
Minato Namikaze's eyes were filled with shock, clearly not expecting that Gojo Yoru's power would become so strong in just one year since they last fought.
Without the slightest hesitation, Minato Namikaze leaped backward, creating distance between himself and Yoru Gojo.
Before the person even landed, their hands began forming hand seals.
Upon seeing the attribute represented by his first handprint, Yuya and the medical ninja's expressions immediately changed.
Gojo Yoru, who also ranked among the top three in his grade in academic subjects and knew all the hand seals by heart, could immediately tell what kind of ninjutsu Minato Namikaze wanted to use.
So he quickly formed a hand seal.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
"Earth Release: Earth Returns!"
Two voices rang out almost simultaneously.
As soon as Minato Namikaze landed, his cheeks bulging, he opened his mouth and exhaled a distorted stream of air.
The next second, the airflow expanded and grew stronger, transforming into an invisible giant wave that roared toward the five nights.
Just as the gale was about to engulf Gojoya, a huge square stone slab suddenly rose from the ground in front of them.
The strong wind crashed against the stone slab, but instead of knocking it down or shattering it, it scattered in all directions, stirring up a large cloud of dust that made the students watching from a short distance quickly raise their hands to shield their eyes.
"As expected, he can use the Five Elements Escape Technique. He truly deserves to be called a genius."
Yuya and the medical ninja sighed slightly.
Because the strong winds had not yet subsided, even Minato Namikaze, who was skilled in teleportation, was unable to take the opportunity to teleport behind Yoru Gojo and launch a sneak attack.
Taking this opportunity, Gojo Yoru once again formed hand seals.
With two loud bangs, two plumes of white smoke appeared out of thin air.
As the wind dispersed the smoke, two clones that looked exactly like Gojo Yoru appeared on his left and right sides.
Yuya and the medical ninja were not surprised to see the two clones.
Because of the handprints of the five nights, they knew that this was just the most basic clone technique.
Those two "Gojo Yoru" were just phantom clones without any physical form.
If Gojo Yoru had created shadow clones, they wouldn't be so calm.
However, what they saw next made their eyes widen in horror.
As soon as the gust of wind subsided, Gojo Yoru and his two phantom clones burst out from behind the stone slab and ran towards Minato Namikaze.
Minato Namikaze's pupils contracted slightly. He quickly took out three shuriken from his ninja tool pouch and threw them at the three Gojo Yoru, trying to determine whether they were using a basic clone technique or a more advanced shadow clone technique.
Seeing the shuriken flying towards him, Gojo Yoru's main body dodged to the side, while the other two Gojo Yoru let the shuriken pass right through them.
Upon seeing that Gojo Yoru had only used a clone technique, Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief and then fearlessly charged forward.
Perhaps because Gojo Yoru was too close, Minato Namikaze didn't have much time to think.
As a result, he overlooked a crucial point.
The clone technique can only create illusory clones without a physical form.
Moreover, these phantom clones will turn into a cloud of smoke and dissipate with just a light touch.
However, Gojo Yoru's phantom clone, despite being pierced by the shuriken, did not disappear.
Clearly, this is no ordinary phantom clone.
However, Minato Namikaze quickly discovered this.
He charged forward, dodging a straight punch from Gojo Yoru that suddenly became much slower, while simultaneously unleashing a backfist punch aimed at Gojo Yoru's chest.
However, the punch did not feel like it hit a solid object; instead, it passed right through Gojo Yoru's body.
However, the scene of the shuriken passing through the phantom clone just now clearly confirms that this is Gojo Yoru's true form.
Could it be that these three are all phantom clones, and Gojo Yoru's true form is hidden somewhere else?
Just as Minato Namikaze was thinking this and being wary of his surroundings, a fist that was rapidly growing larger suddenly came into view.
Seeing the phantom clone coming at him with a punch, Minato Namikaze's expression changed drastically, and he finally realized something.
Unfortunately, it was too late!
With a loud bang, Minato Namikaze's adorable face was deformed by a punch.
The immense force not only distorted that handsome face but also sent his body flying through the air, demonstrating the sheer power of Gojo Yoru's punch.
And... this is just the beginning of the combo!
