Nara Langui closed the panel, washed and had a meal.

"Isn't it just hard work and laziness? It's not unacceptable."

After breakfast, Nara Langui hurriedly left Platycodon City and headed for Konoha.

The place where Namikaze Minato met for the battle was not at the outskirts of Kikyō Castle, but at Konoha's training ground.

Arriving at the village, Nara Langui first went to the Mandian Hall to buy some battle-prepared ninja tools, and then went to the third training ground.

It's five minutes to ten in the morning.

Nara Langui sat silently on the ground of the third training ground, constantly adjusting his breathing.

Just then, a flash of yellow flashed across.

Namikaze Minato appeared in front of him.

It was different from what he had seen before. Today, Minato Namikaze had taken off his jounin-specific green vest and was only wearing a set of dark blue sportswear.

"Sorry, Nara-kun."

Namikaze Minato also noticed Nara Langui's presence immediately. He looked slightly surprised and nodded quickly to apologize.

"I'm late."

I thought that the ninjas of the Nara clan would be at least half an hour late...

I didn't expect this child to come so early, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time...

Among the Nara clan, there really is a different kind of diligent ninja...

Nara Langui cannot detect Little Sun's psychological activities.

"No need to apologize, Namikaze Jonin."

Nara Langui stood up from the ground and looked at Namikaze Minato calmly.

"There are still a few minutes left before the agreed time, I came too early.

"You shouldn't mind if I do some battle preparations in advance at the third training ground, right?"

Battle...preparations?

Namikaze Minato twitched the corners of his mouth, with a trace of cold sweat on his forehead.

He seemed to have underestimated the importance this child attached to today's challenge...

"it does not matter."

Namikaze Minato took out a kunai from his ninja bag and held it in his hand.

“Since we are all here, let’s start discussing directly.

"Use this kunai as a signal. When it falls to the ground, the battle officially begins. How about it?"

"no problem."

Nara Langui took a deep breath and prepared himself for battle.

"let's start!"

The two stood opposite each other, each casting a "Seal of Opposition".

Namikaze Minato gently threw out the pitch-black kunai in his hand and threw it into the air.

The iron kunai flipped several angles in mid-air, then slowly fell, and penetrated straight to the ground.

And at the moment when the kunai touched the ground.

Whoosh!

Namikaze Minato's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, and his movement speed could not be seen clearly.

Nara Langui's pupils shrank slightly, and his nose noticed a strange smell approaching earlier than his eyes, and it was right behind him.

"The battle begins."

Namikaze Minato's voice came from behind him, along with the cold smell of iron weapons.

"But it's over, Nara-kun."

"Yeah?"

Nara Langui's voice sounded calm, and the shadows that had been laid out in advance spread out under his feet like a circular net.

"I don't think so."

Thank you very much to "Drinking Friends 993" for the tip!!
