  "My... my Flying Thunder God Teique... no longer works?!"

  Minato's forehead was slick with cold sweat. Ever since mastering the Flying Thunder God Teique, this was the first time he had entered a situation where he was pletely uo use it.

  "I have a question. How do you know the Rasengan?"

  Konan didn't attack immediately. She wao know—how Minato khe Rasengan.

  "I saw Shi before… so I studied it and figured it out." Minato scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

  He felt as if he had stoleeique, but iy, he had simply developed it through his own uanding.

  "That's all I wao ask—Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!"

  A massive shuriken-shaped mass of wind chakra spun rapidly in Konan's hands before she hurled it straight at Minato.

  Minato's eyes widehis was the greatest crisis he had ever faced as a Shinobi, especially now that his Flying Thunder God Teique was sealed.

  He was still young and inexperienced. He panicked.

  "I have no choice—Body Flicker Teique!"

  He focused Chakra into his legs and moved with incredible speed. Even without the Flying Thunder God Teique, he was still fast.

  "That was close…"

  Minato looked at the massive crater created by the Rasenshuriken, his heart pounding. Was this the advanced version of the Rasengan?

  "Tch, did I tear a muscle?"

  He felt a sharp pain in his legs. He had injured himself with that burst of speed.

  But he didn't have time to worry about his injuries. Konan attacked again, her paper shuriken flying towards him.

  ....

  "She's pletely overwhelming Minato…" Shin said with a smile as he watched from a distance.

  But he knew Konan couldn't truly defeat Minato.

  The Spatial Loly sealed a hundred-meter radius. Once Minato left this area, he could use his Flying Thunder God Teique again.

  Then Konan wouldn't be able to do anything to him. Space-Time Ninjutsu was that powerful.

  But Shin didn't stop Konan. There was still value in this fight. It would give her valuable experience.

  ....

  Konan charged at Minato with a paper sword. She had learned swordsmanship from Shin, and her skills were det.

  Minato, struggling against her fierce assault, was soon forced into purely dodging. Each time he failed to evade in time, another cut was left on his body.

  At first, he had tried blog with a kunai—only to realize her paper sword could slice straight through it. After that, he didn't dare to csh head-on again.

  ....

  "I o help Minato,"

  Jiraiya, after repelling Rasa, saw Minatling and couldn't just stand by and watch.

  Minato was his prized student. There was no way he could just stand by and watch him get beaten down.

  "Summoning Jutsu!"

  Jiraiya smmed his hand on the ground, bringing famabunta from Mount Myōboku.

  "Bunta, I need you to hold off the Fourth Kazekage for a bit—I have to go help Minato!"

  Jiraiya said, then ran towards Minatamabunta gred at him. He was supposed to fight a Kage?

  "Jiraiya, I'm going baount Myōboku if I 't handle him!" Gamabunta roared in frustration.

  Naturally, Jiraiya couldn't argue. He wasn't about to let Gamabunta die just to dey Rasa.

  All he needed was a little time to extract Minato from the battle—then he'd return.

  "Hmph! You think a sioad stall me?!" Rasa gred at Gamabunta.

  Rasa scowled and raised his hand, anding a tidal wave of golden sand to crash down on Gamabunta.

  "Heh… yon looking down on me, brat."

  Gamabunta drew his sword and attacked Rasa. He was massive, almost as rge as a Tailed Beast. His sword was also huge.

  Although Rasa acted disdainful, he didn't dare uimate Gamabunta.

  ....

  Meanwhile, Jiraiya had arrived at Minato's side.

  "Minato! You okay?"

  Jiraiya asked. Minato was covered in blood, his face pale.

  "I'm fine, Sensei."

  Minato shook his head. He wasn't fatally injured, but he had lost a lot of blood.

  Konan looked at Jiraiya and Minato, her expression turning serious.

  She was fident she could defeat Minato alone, as long as he couldn't use his Space-Time Ninjutsu.

  But against both Minato and Jiraiya? That was aory.

  "Konan, do you still remember me?" Jiraiya asked with a plicated expression.

  Konan didn't answer, but she nodded slightly.

  She remembered Jiraiya—one of the legendary Sannin.

  "Konan, if you try to hurt any Konoha Shinobi… Even if we knew each other before, I won't hold back." Jiraiya said seriously.

  Jiraiya might be a goofball usually, but he was serious when it came to important matters.

  "We were never close to begin with, so there's no need for you to hold back." Konan's voice was as cold as ever.

  "Jiraiya, bullying a child isn't right."

  Shin's voice suddenly came from behind Jiraiya, startling him. He turo see Shin.

  "Shin-nii!"

  Konan immediately rushed to his side, her expression softening into a rare smile.

  "You did well, Konan. Your strength is now enough to surpass most shinobi in this world."

  Shin praised her as he lightly patted her head.

  "Shin-nii, you stop patting my head? I'm not a child anymore," Konan said, pouting.

  "Sorry, I'll be careful ime," Shin said with a chuckle.

  "I'm just showing affe. Is that wrong?"

  Hearing that, Konan's face turned red. She lowered her gaze and mumbled softly. "…There are other ways to show affe…"

  "Jiraiya, long time no see," Shin looked at Jiraiya.

  "Oh, and Minato, as well. Speaking of which… How's Uzumaki Akiko doing? As a fellow Uzumaki, I should at least che.

  "Akiko is fine," Minato said.

  "Shin, what's your purpose here?" Jiraiya asked.

  He wouldn't be able to rex until he knew Shin's iions.

  "Hmm… If I had to say… I guess it's to train Konan,"

  Shin raised a hand, intending to pat Konan's head again, but hesitated—remembering her earlier pint.

  Konan saw this and… strangely, felt a bit disappointed.
