When Uchiha Hai showed killing intent towards Kushina, not only did Minato feel it, but also the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Anbu he had sent.
This made Hiruzen Sarutobi frown. The Uchiha clan had indeed grown accustomed to arrogance, wanting to kill someone over a mere verbal dispute. It seemed he needed to warn the Uchiha clan. Kushina could not be touched.
"Go and summon the head of the Uchiha clan. I have an important matter to discuss with him," Hiruzen Sarutobi said, taking a puff from his pipe and calling out to the empty office.
"Yes!"
...
"Who will be like a dead dog, we don't know yet. All of you, go to hell!" Uchiha Hai's eyes closed and then opened again, a two-tomoe Sharingan spinning within.
He then took out several shuriken and threw them at Minato. But this time, they were not simple shuriken; it was the Uchiha clan's unique Sharingan-controlled windmill technique—Triple Attack of the Military Sword.
"Wind Release—Great Breakthrough!"
Wind Release was the best choice for dealing with bladed weapons. Minato quickly formed hand signs, took a deep breath, and then exhaled an endless gale from his mouth, blowing all the shuriken and their connecting wires away.
"Fire Release—Flame Bullet!"
After exhaling the gale, Minato didn't stop. While Uchiha Hai's attention was on the shuriken, he released another Fire Release ninjutsu.
Faced with the fire attack, Uchiha Hai had no choice but to give up controlling the shuriken and jump to dodge the Flame Bullet.
"Comparing Fire Release? I'll show you who the king of Fire Release is! Fire Release—Great Fireball Technique!" Uchiha Hai, who was in mid-air, was not slow with his hand signs, and a huge fireball shot out from his mouth.
"What a joke. As if I would lose to you in Fire Release? Take this! Fire Release—Great Fire Annihilation!" Minato was not intimidated at all. Did he really think he was the ancestor of fire manipulation? Just wait until I complete the first stage of my Fire Release development, and I'll show you what it means to be the ancestor of fire manipulation.
For now, let him have a taste of a B-rank Fire Release.
Although it wasn't as overwhelming as the one Uchiha Madara used, it was still much larger than the Great Fireball Technique.
After the two fire techniques collided, the Great Fire Annihilation overwhelmingly swallowed the Great Fireball Technique and continued to attack Uchiha Hai in the air.
Seeing this, Uchiha Hai's eyes narrowed. Impossible! How could someone use a Fire Release stronger than the Uchiha clan's? It was simply unbelievable.
The great fire mercilessly engulfed Uchiha Hai in the air, but Minato did not show a joyful expression. Instead, he observed his surroundings with even more gravity.
Because the Uchiha Hai in the air had turned into a charred piece of wood.
"Substitution Jutsu. As expected of an elite Chunin of the Uchiha clan. I didn't even see when he started forming the hand signs," Minato thought to himself in alarm while remaining vigilant.
"Over there!" At this moment, Kushina suddenly pointed in a direction. There was a large tree there, which was Uchiha Hai's hiding place. The Uzumaki clan's unique sensory abilities were quite formidable, especially after opening the Mind's Eye of the Kagura, which made them even more invincible.
Hearing this, Minato didn't even consider whether Kushina was telling the truth and trusted her without reservation, once again shooting a Flame Bullet in the direction Kushina pointed.
"Swoosh!" After the Flame Bullet attack, Uchiha Hai had no choice but to jump out. His surprise attack plan had failed.
"Despicable! Interfering in a two-person battle!" Uchiha Mahui pointed at Kushina angrily from the side.
"Aren't you despicable? Finding someone so much older than Minato to fight him. And me? If you can't win, don't talk about fairness. With my Minato's talent, he'll only be 10 in a year, but this Uchiha Hai will definitely not be Minato's opponent in a year."
The protective wife demon Kushina was online again, pointing at Uchiha Mahui and scolding him.
And she was right. From the few exchanges just now, the two of them were evenly matched in strength, and this Uchiha Hai was seven years older than Minato.
In a year, this Uchiha Hai would not only be no match for Minato, but he would probably be left far behind.
"You... you..." Uchiha Mahui pointed at Kushina for a long time but couldn't say anything, at a loss for words.
"You... with such a clumsy tongue, you come out looking for trouble? You idiot, you fool, and you bastard," Kushina once again verbally assaulted Uchiha Mahui, leaving him with no ability to fight back.
This made the people present, especially the Shikaku trio, break out in a cold sweat. As expected of the Bloody Habenero. Even her verbal attacks were so imposing.
Everyone present knew this, even Uchiha Hai. In a little while, he would be no match for the yellow-haired kid in front of him. How infuriating! A commoner could surpass the Uchiha clan.
Jealousy and anger filled Uchiha Hai's heart. He would absolutely cripple this yellow-haired kid at all costs. This way, the Uchiha clan would have a genius, and this yellow-haired kid would be a failed cripple.
