"No, no, no, I absolutely didn't mean to look down on you!"
High in the sky, Onoki floated with his arms crossed, looking down at the golden figure trapped in the earth release prison.
On his wrinkled old face, he appeared to have everything under control.
"It's just that you're not the Raikage, and you don't have his body, so all of us are completely enough!"
"Hehe, is your Flying Thunder God unable to teleport out?"
At this point, Onoki's smile immediately faded. "Enough small talk, let's begin!"
As his voice fell.
Hundreds of Iwagakure shinobi at the same time formed hand seals.
"Earth Release: Rock Shelter Collapse!"
"Earth Release: Stone Slab Coffin!"
Rumble!
The rock wall above Minato's head instantly shattered, and countless massive rocks fell from the sky, smashing fiercely into the area where he stood!
And the moment these rocks broke off from the wall, new stones immediately filled the broken places.
Minato was given no chance to escape.
At the same time, the earth also began to collapse, and a bottomless, giant pit continuously formed.
The sky fell and the earth sank!
This was a true trap from all sides!
Facing this world-destroying attack, Minato's figure instantly transformed into a golden light, disappearing from his original spot.
Flying Thunder God!
The next second, Minato appeared at the other end of the earth release prison.
However, he had barely stood firm.
The rocks above his head and the pit below his feet followed like shadows, swallowing him once more!
The golden light flashed again.
Minato's figure began to jump at high speed within the cramped space.
Each flash narrowly avoided a fatal attack.
But his expression grew more and more serious.
Constant spatial jumps rapidly used up his chakra.
Meanwhile, the opponent's attacks were like an endless tide, wave after wave, showing no signs of stopping.
If this continued, he would eventually be worn down to death here!
"It's useless, Minato Namikaze." Onoki's voice echoed in the air again. "Your Flying Thunder God relies on jumping using space and time coordinates left on special markings."
"This earth release prison was specifically designed to counter your Flying Thunder God, and it comes with a barrier that disrupts space."
"Are you already unable to sense the spatial coordinates?"
"Just surrender, don't make any more pointless struggles."
Minato ignored Onoki's mind games.
Surrender, how could he?
A kage cannot surrender!
However, Onoki was indeed right.
When he used Flying Thunder God to jump just now, he felt that the connection to the jutsu markings on the kunai he had left outside had been cut off!
His mind raced, searching for a way to break the situation.
Force a breakthrough?
If he didn't break this earth release prison, there was no option for a forced breakthrough at all.
The only way now was to find the weak point of this earth release prison, and then use the Flying Thunder God Technique to jump out!
But where was the weak point?
Minato's gaze, like a hawk, swept over every inch of the surrounding space.
He moved at high speed, dodging the Iwagakure attacks.
At the same time, he used his extraordinary sensing to examine every node of the barrier.
Suddenly.
His gaze locked onto Onoki!
Any large-scale barrier jutsu must have a core.
And this core is usually controlled by the caster himself!
As long as he could take down Onoki, or make him unable to maintain the barrier, this cage would collapse on its own!
Let's try!
A firm glint flashed in Minato's eyes.
He no longer passively dodged.
Instead, he charged fiercely toward the spot directly below Onoki.
However, no one noticed that dozens of overlapping explosive tags had quietly stuck to the rock cracks beside the earth release prison's rock wall, hidden in the smoke and dust raised by the Iwagakure attack.
"Trying to attack me?" Onoki instantly saw through Minato's intention, a mocking sneer appearing on his face. "Naive!"
His hands slowly came together in front of his chest, and a clear, white light cube giving off a destructive aura formed before him.
"Let me show you what true power, superior to everything else, looks like!"
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
Buzz!
A dazzling white light instantly shot out from Onoki's hand!
The deadly white light cube moved at extreme speed, and wherever it passed, even the air seemed to break down, leaving a twisted trail.
Onoki's first move was a killing blow!
He knew very well that against a speed-type shinobi like Minato Namikaze, any testing was useless.
Either don't attack!
Or, kill him in one blow!
Therefore, this strike was extremely fast!
And extremely ruthless!
It blocked all of Minato's forward routes!
However.
Facing this strike capable of instantly killing any strong opponent.
Minato not only didn't use Flying Thunder God to dodge, but instead charged toward the white light!
In his right hand, a blue chakra sphere was spinning at high speed.
Rasengan!
"Hmm? Not dodging? Then you're seeking death!" A cruel glint flashed in Onoki's eyes.
In his opinion, Minato's action was no different from suicide.
However.
Just as the Rasengan was about to collide with the Dust Release beam.
Minato's figure once again transformed into a golden light and vanished!
He used the Rasengan as a cover to activate Flying Thunder God!
Boom!
The white light struck the ground, silently.
A huge circular pit appeared, its edges smooth as a mirror, as if a piece had been erased from thin air by something.
Onoki's expression instantly became serious.
Not good!
A master like Minato Namikaze would never make meaningless moves.
The opponent's target, from the very beginning, was not him!
But... Onoki looked down without thinking.
He saw a golden light appear beside a rock wall.
That was exactly where Minato had thrown the explosive tags before launching his attack.
He had returned to his original spot.
At this moment, the high-speed spinning Rasengan in Minato's hand had expanded to its limit.
"Great Ball Rasengan!" Minato roared, pressing his hand fiercely against the rock wall!
Rumble!
The massive Rasengan instantly cracked the rock wall upon impact!
Immediately after.
The explosive tags he had set up beforehand were set off by the Rasengan's violent chakra flow!
Boom!
A tremendous roar, more terrifying than any previous explosion, shot into the sky!
A violent shockwave, mixed with countless burning broken stones, swept in all directions!
The sturdy earth release prison trembled violently under this terrifying impact, and cracks spread everywhere!
And the Iwagakure shinobi maintaining the barrier also experienced a slight mess in their formation amid this sudden change!
Now!
Minato's eyes flashed with light!
He had reconnected with the jutsu markings outside.
Although very faint, it was enough for him to make the jump.
Golden light flashed!
Seizing the instant the barrier showed a flaw, Minato's figure instantly disappeared into the sea of fire!
