Chapter 89:

"Eh, Minato is here?" Akira was slightly surprised and when he looked up, he saw a figure with blonde hair sprinting towards him quickly.

Minato soon arrived a short distance away from Akira. He saw the scorched ground everywhere and saw the Iwa ninjas who fell on the ground. Shock flashed in his eyes and it took a moment for him to calm down.

"Akira, I knew you were the one fighting with the Iwa ninjas just now!" Minato flashed step continuously and finally arrived in front of Akira: "I saw a huge thunderstorm with intense lightning striking from the sky just now. Could it be your ninjutsu?"

"Yes." Akira nodded.

"It's really you!" Minato was just guessing. He happened to be nearby and saw the amazing and majestic scene of the 'lightning style, Kirin'. The scene could be described as catastrophic was printed in his heart.

Minato was shocked. Akira did all of this?

"It's not good for us to stay here for a long time, otherwise the other Iwa ninjas will probably catch up. Let's withdraw for now and we can continue talking after that." Akira said.

Minato have a bunch of questions, but he could only force it down: "Okay, I understand..."

Akira and Minato left together, in case more Iwa ninja approached again.

"Akira, the ninjutsu just now..." As he retreated, Minato still couldn't restrain his curiosity and couldn't help asking.

The ninjutsu just now really impressed him too deeply and he couldn't help but recall the amazing yet terrigying scene in his head.

When did Akira even learn such a mysterious and powerful ninjutsu?

Minato has always felt that he has made rapid progress and his current strength may be able to compete with ordinary elite ninja, but after witnessing Akira's strength, he doesn't know what to say anymore.

He felt like he is always one step behind Akira and the gap seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

"The ninjutsu just now is a ninjutsu I developed by myself, named 'Kirin', which can use the lightning power in the thunderstorm to attack the enemy." Akira explained briefly.

"Kirin? This name is really appropriate. The terrigying changes in the form of the lightning just now is really like the legendary beast Kirin..." Minato's expression became more complicated and said

Akira continued: "This time our information gathered from our spying is minial. This is the base for Iwa explosion corps, but there are only about a hundred people and it is not a large force."

"Yes." Minato nodded in agreement, he then suddenly thought of something: "Where is Kato Dan?"

Minato finally remembered, that Dan had yet to appear.

Akira said softly: "Dead."

"Dead? How?" Minato was very surprised. How could Kato Dan, a peak level jonin die and the user of of the powerful spirit transformation jutsu, die so easily.

Of course Akira would not tell the truth, but simply said: "Kato Dan was discovered by the Iwa and was besiged. Among them was one peak level jonin and ten elite jonin Iwa ninjas. I rushed to the rescue, but I was one step too late and gotten besieged by Iwa ninjas as well, so I had to use the 'lightning style, Kirin' as a last resort."

Akira had already thought about the excuse beforehand.

Minato nodded: "So that's the case." Minato didn't doubt Akira words, there is always a threat of death at any time on the battlefield and furthermore they were in Iwa ninjas territory with just three of them.

This time, Akira got rid of Kato Dan and killed Kisseki and his group of seven other elite jonins. Thus he is also exhausted from the intense chakra consumption.

Immediately, Akira took out a food pill to replenish his strength and energy.

"Dan is cut to death. It seems like Iwa's strength here is very strong. We have to report this to Tsunade and Orochimaru." Minato analyze and concluded.

"Well, of course." Akira nodded.

The figures of the two of them flashed with increase speed and prepared to return back to Konoha's base.

Not long after Akira and Minato left, more than a dozen Iwa ninjad rushed to the scene one after another. The mess and the horrible appearance of the dead Iwa ninjas being struck by lightning fell into their eyes and they all felt fear and cold sweat.

"Kisseki sama was actually killed together with ten other members of our explosion corps! who is the other culprit?"

"Too terrifying, the power of the lightning just now is really heart rendering scary, the power far surpassed any lightning ninjutsu I have seen..."

"Who is it..."

The Iwa ninjas who came heart palpitates when they saw the corpse of Kisseki and others. Just by thinking about it they shuddered with cold sweat.

They know Kisseki's strength very well, hr is absolutely a peak level jonin. Kisseki was also the team leader of explosion corps and the right-hand man of the commander Shirotsuchi

But now, not only Kisseki, but also five other Iwa ninjas alongside him, plus the previous Iwa ninjas, all have been killed!

Judging from the traces on the scene and the terrifying lightning ninjutsu they saw just now. It can be confirmed that they were killed by only a ninjutsu and they didn't even have the power to resist.

Who the hell is the culprit?

Even though the Iwa ninjas here are not involved in the fight the that just occurred, but it does not prevent them from imagining and kept thinking.

One by one they turned pale from fright and feel that the ninjutsu is more terrifying then what they had thought before ...

Akira didn't know how intense the shock that the lightning style Kirin he released had caused to Iwa ninjas.

Akira and Minato quickly evacuated from there and returned to a safe area away from the battlefield. Then he change his clothes and hurried back to Konoha's base.

Konoha's base is still a long distance away from Akira and Minato. After a long journey, did they finally returned back to the base

When Akira and Minato dragged their tired bodies back to Konoha's base, Tsunade and the three were slightly surprised and immediately asked Akira and Minato about the situation this time.

Akira told the "truth" and the rough story of what happen. After learning that Akira and Dan were besieged by Iwa ninjad and that Dan was killed, Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru were all shocked.

"Kato Dan's is strong and his spirit transformation jutsu is even more difficult to handle. However he was actually killed in this battle?" Orochimaru frowned and sighed with emotion.
