Chapter 88 Compassion
BOOM ...
Countless steel balls swept through the Sand Village troops like a natural disaster, raising a cloud of dust.
Sakumo Hatake watched this scene with a look of utter shock in his eyes.
This kid's chakra reserves seem to be hundreds of millions more than he expected.
As the fine drizzle falling from the sky swept away the dust, the situation in the arena came into view for the two.
The initial force of about one hundred men was reduced to less than fifty after this wave of overwhelming attacks, and most of the survivors were wounded.
"Damn it, that wretched brat!"
The commander, who had just been smugly shouting, clutched his left arm and let out a mournful roar.
His left arm looked unnaturally twisted, his forehead was covered in blood, and the bodies of his teammates lay at his feet.
This attack came too suddenly. No one expected that a kid this young would have such terrifying strength!
What's even more unexpected is that the opponent was still able to use the Sword Shadow Clone Technique in that state!
Although the attack just now looked impressive, if earth-based defenses had been established in time, it wouldn't have caused such heavy casualties.
But when they saw the steel ball being smashed away, the first reaction of the Sand Ninja present was shock, or they instinctively dodged, which made them lose the best opportunity to form hand seals.
"I didn't expect it to work so well!"
Sakumo Hatake was also quite surprised by this result.
Minato looked at Sakumo Hatake: "Senpai, shall we continue?"
"No, let's go."
Sakumo Hatake shook his head: "They're no longer a fighting force. The other two groups of enemies should be arriving soon. Your chakra is also running low, isn't it?"
"Hmm—enough."
Minato instantly retrieved the steel ball and, amidst the hostile gazes of the Sand Ninja and the groans of pain on the ground, returned to the camp with Sakumo Hatake.
"Lord Sakumo, the other two ninja groups are less than thirty kilometers away from us!"
As soon as the two returned to the camp, they learned about the enemy's movements from the ninjas who had been waiting for them.
"Let's go south!"
Sakumo Hatake replied without hesitation.
Hark, the leader of the western front, has already been taken down by Minato.
In addition, compared to the flanking forces that need to be divided to encircle the enemy, the number of enemy troops attacking from the front is relatively small.
With the existing combat strength of the camp, as long as the enemy forces in the south can be dealt with first, it will be enough to deal with the enemy on the front line.
Without wasting words, Minato raised his hand and slapped the other person, and the two figures disappeared again.
The two continued to use the same tactics as before: using simple traps to attract the enemy's attention, and then launching an attack when the enemy was off guard.
Unlike the previous rapidly advancing group, this group was highly vigilant. The leader was a young man in his twenties who immediately ordered a halt after the scout ninjas discovered the trap.
"Come out, your ability to conceal your presence is terrible."
The leader's gaze fell on the rock where Shuimen was hiding, and he said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a little blond boy peeked out from behind the rock.
"It's a child—"
The team leader frowned slightly, his gaze falling on Minato's headband: "So he's already a ninja?"
"She looks way too young."
A hint of pity flashed in the eyes of the black-haired woman beside the team leader. She looked at the team leader and said hesitantly, "Xiaohong—"
"This is a battlefield, Akiko."
Xiaohong's tone was solemn: "Explosive tags thrown by children are just as deadly!"
"I see."
Akiko sighed almost imperceptibly. The child opposite her didn't look much older than her child, and was just as pretty and well-behaved.
She felt a pang of pity for him, as he was at an age when he should have been enjoying the love and care of his family at home.
Seemingly sensing his wife's thoughts, a hint of helplessness flashed in Xiaohong's eyes.
He glanced at Minato and said coldly, "Kid, this is a battlefield, not a place for someone your age. I'm giving you a chance; leave now!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding ninjas immediately stirred.
"Lord Takahiro, isn't this against the rules? This brat just set a trap on our path!"
"Yes, even if he's young, that child is still a Konoha ninja. He might be a genius, and if he grows up to be something special—"
"Alright, this level of trap is worse than even the kids at the ninja academy. He's just an insignificant brat."
Takahiro said calmly, glancing at Minato, "Leave now."
Upon hearing this, Minato fell silent for a moment.
He never expected that he would receive goodwill from the opposing camp in a place like the battlefield.
This emotion, which began with pity and was expressed with a tolerant attitude, instantly diluted his murderous intent.
However—given the current situation, he has no choice but to act decisively.
He's just an avatar; let the real body worry about these things.
Thinking of this, he first created a shadow clone to synchronize information with his main body.
Then he tossed a few kunai toward the direction of the Sunagakure troops.
"Looks like they're not planning on leaving."
Watching the kunai fall aimlessly and helplessly in front of him, Takahiro shook his head, seemingly regretting what was about to happen: "Let's finish it off."
As soon as he finished speaking, two muffled thuds were heard.
Minato's figure appeared in front of him at some point, holding a kunai in each hand, and stabbed him and Akiko in the abdomen respectively.
"Children should not be on the battlefield, and neither should those with soft hearts."
Upon hearing this, Xiaohong and the other person lowered their heads in disbelief, looking at Minato, who appeared in front of them like a ghost.
"How...how is this possible?"
Puff puff puff—
Vines sprouted from the ground, binding the two together like dumplings, while continuously absorbing their chakra.
Then, to the horror of the two men, another blond-haired man appeared on the battlefield with a white-haired man, and amidst the chaotic sounds of fighting, they began to reap the lives of the Sand Ninja.
"Your personalities aren't suited to leadership, but I don't dislike people like you," Minato said calmly.
"Damn it, die! You wretched little beast!"
A Sand Ninja with a ferocious expression rushed towards Minato, brandishing his long sword and slashing heavily at Minato's neck.
But Minato simply waved his hand, and a golden light flashed, causing the Sand Ninja to split into two groups and fall heavily to the ground.
"If we meet again next time, I won't hold back."

Minato's gaze lingered on Takahiro's fiery red hair for a moment, and he felt a strange unease. (In the manga, it's orange, and so is Sasori's.)
Judging from their appearance, these two are very likely Scorpion's parents.
He spared the two men's lives partly because of their recent act of compassion.
On the other hand, it's for Granny Chiyo's mastery of the Reincarnation Technique!
After all, it is a ninjutsu that can transfer life, or even give a puppet real life.
In Minato's view, this technique was no less valuable than the Reanimation Jutsu.
I spared your son and daughter-in-law on the battlefield. Just for their lives, it wouldn't be too much to ask for their reincarnation, would it?
