Minato watched Xin's almost imperceptible movements, feeling a surge of excitement. Like Xin, Minato also excelled in close-quarters combat, relying on speed. For him, ninjutsu was merely a supportive tool, unlike Nawaki, who focused more on ninjutsu.
But Minato lacked Xin's chakra reserves and the powerful physique that allowed Xin to explosively boost his speed with chakra. So all Minato could do was watch enviously as Xin tore through the battlefield.
He need to master the Flying Thunder God Technique as soon as possible. Only then will I be able to keep up with Xin.
Maybe not even match him, but at least follow in his footsteps.
Clenching his fists, Minato silently encouraged himself.
Am he doing this wrong?
After all this effort, he only managed to take down one enemy.
Nawaki, panting heavily, watched Xin dart across the battlefield and began to doubt himself.
Why does it look like Xin is cutting through enemies like they're nothing, while he... he have to give everything he got just to kill one? Even Minato is more efficient than me.
Maybe after this war, he should go back and train in the Senju clan's swordsmanship and taijutsu? The Senju were just as skilled as the Uchiha in both areas. But whether Nawaki could reach Xin's level by picking up those skills again was another question entirely.
The clash of weapons, the roars of beasts, and the screams of the dying created a grim symphony of battle. Every moment, shinobi from both Konoha and the Sand Village fell. Despite Konoha's advantage, they were still suffering losses. This was the reality of war- there was no such thing as a bloodless victory.
After wreaking havoc on the battlefield for a while, Manda felt his time was almost up. With a powerful sweep of his tail, he knocked down the last remaining Sand jōnin, Masa's comrade, and swallowed him whole. Satisfied, Manda devoured a few more corpses before raising his head to catch Xin.
"Master, my summoning time is almost over."
Summoned creatures like Manda had a time limit on how long they could stay in battle. Once that time was up, the summoning jutsu would automatically end, sending Manda back to Ryuchi Cave.
"No worries, you've done more than enough."
Standing on Manda's head, Xin surveyed the remaining Sand shinobi. More than half were dead, and those who survived were visibly terrified, their morale shattered. Despite their superior numbers, it was clear that Konoha would win this battle.
"Return now. I'll handle the rest."
"Yes, Master."
