Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Minato: Are You Not Going to Stop with These Crazy Ideas?



"If I didn't know you had this kind of power, I'd really want to kick you right now!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"What do you mean, 'just do it however'? Can't we take this a bit more seriously, at least show some respect to the enemy?"

Okay, maybe that's nonsense. In war, the best kind of enemy is a dead one. If you can

eliminate them without a sound, there's no need to give them any chance to resist or call for backup.

In the dead of night, a massive purple-blue sphere of light rose in Takuya's hand. Although the Rasengan Tailed Beast Bomb was even more powerful, in situations like this, targeting enemies hidden within fortifications, the Thunderburst was the better choice.

After all, the piercing power of lightning chakra was undeniable-especially against underground bunkers and similar facilities. Iwagakure, for instance, struggled against Kumogakure precisely because Earth Release was poor at defending against the piercing nature of Lightning Release.

This weakness often placed Iwagakure, with its Earth Release-based techniques, at a disadvantage against Kumogakure's Lightning Release forces. The only thing that saved Iwagakure from being overwhelmed was its collective Earth Release techniques, which, when performed by enough skilled shinobi, could become a significant threat even for the highly mobile forces of the Cloud.

"What's that?"

Inside the military fortress, a Kirigakure sensory ninja's eyes suddenly widened. He sensed a terrifying and unfamiliar concentration of lightning chakra.

The dark night sky suddenly lit up, as if someone had turned on a giant searchlight, illuminating the entire underground bunker.

"Thunderburst!"

The enormous sphere was hurled by Takuya.

**Boom!!!**

Before the Kirigakure ninja could react, the ground beneath them started shaking violently. The underground bunker collapsed in an instant, the explosion spreading across and consuming the entire base.

The fierce explosion almost seemed to turn the night into day, like a massive firework blooming in the night sky.

"That kid's Lightning Release... it's even more terrifying now," Jiraiya murmured, feeling the vibrations caused by the blast.

The others weren't nearly as composed. Although they'd heard about Takuya's powerful Lightning Release before, this was the first time they had seen his Thunderburst in action.

The sturdy underground fortress was gone, reduced to nothing but a crater over ten meters deep and over a hundred meters across.

And that fortress was built into solid rock, not soft soil. The sheer force...

Could anyone believe that was caused by a technique casually thrown by someone?

Except for Jiraiya and Nawaki, everyone else was wide-eyed in disbelief.

What had Takuya just done?

He simply raised his hand, threw a glowing sphere while shouting "Thunderburst," and then it was over.

There wasn't even a bone shard left of the enemies, let alone anything else.

"If I remember right, he used this technique to blow apart Amegakure's city wall, right in

front of Hanzō the Salamander," Yūhi Shinku said, swallowing nervously.

if you used something to assist?

A water-filled balloon... have the chakra rotate inside it..."

Minato didn't jump up in excitement as Takuya expected. Instead, he stared at Takuya

speechlessly.

"Did you use that method while experimenting with your Rasengan Tailed Beast Bomb?"

"*Cough!*"

Takuya choked, almost dying from his own spit.

"Used my... what?!"

The Rasengan Tailed Beast Bomb was just a name I came up with randomly! I didn't use any

props!

"Snowy gave me a little guidance at first, and I figured out the rest myself. Who needs

balloons?"

Takuya rolled his eyes and added, "Yeah, yeah, just think of it like that. I used balloons, so you don't need to feel discouraged. Give it a try when we get back-balloons aren't just for

blowing up, you know. They're also for... having fun."

"Uh..."

Minato's eyes narrowed in suspicion. "Are these balloons... serious balloons?"

"Perfectly serious. When we get back, your teacher can take you to try out some non-serious ones."

Off in the distance, dark shadows approached quickly. Jiraiya, leading the way, heard Takuya's

words from afar.

"What's this about serious and non-serious?"

Takuya nudged Minato forward. "Minato said he wants to try out some of those non-serious

balloons."

"Oh?"

Jiraiya's eyes lit up with a mischievous grin. "Looks like Minato is finally growing up."
