However, he did not stop. Another clone was also rapidly forming a second Rasengan.
He and his shadow clone each held a Rasengan and charged towards Minato.
Just as Minato was using a kunai to thwart Sasuke's attack, Naruto followed up with a double Rasengan.
In an instant, Minato also conjured a Rasengan in his hand, which collided with Naruto's, sending Naruto flying and instantly turning into smoke and dissipating.
Just as he was about to dodge Naruto's other Rasengan.
Sasuke seized the opportunity and used ninjutsu to form hand seals, unleashing a large fireball that restricted Minato's movement.
Minato acknowledged the teamwork and skillfully avoided the second oncoming Rasengan by using a very small angle difference.
Just then, Hinata used the visual obstruction caused by the fireball to reach Minato's side.
展开双臂，向他发起了攻击。
Faced with the threat, Minato immediately threw kunai at her.
However, Hinata, who was quick to react, easily caught the kunai, which was not very strong, and threw it away.
At this moment, Hinata, filled with unwavering determination, recalled countless times she had trained diligently and said:
"Naruto trusts me so much! I absolutely cannot let everyone down!"
Then she unleashed her family's signature soft fist technique—the Bagua Sixty-Four Palms—her hands striking out like a storm.
Minato smiled, praising the ferocity of the attack while continuously defending himself.
Although Naruto's second Rasengan failed to work, he lost his balance and his whole body suddenly emitted red chakra energy.
Here, a blue flash gradually took shape between Sasuke's fingers.
"．〃Thousand Birds"
Ready, moving in circles around the target at extremely high speed in the air.
This forced Minato to not only defend against Gentle Fist attacks but also pay attention to Sasuke's movements.
A giant red claw appeared on Naruto's body and attacked directly.
In response, Minato condensed a new small storm, which struck the giant claw formed from red chakra.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sasuke charged into the battle with his electric-like skills.
With the view completely blocked, only by relying on X-ray vision can one continue the attack without being affected.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Hinata grabbed the item on the other person's waist—a training bell.
Feeling the emptiness, Minato smiled, turned around, and caught the two people who were trying to escape.
After adjusting his posture in mid-air, Sasuke landed safely on the ground.
Exhausted and unable to support herself any longer, Hinata fell directly into a strong and warm embrace.
(Okay) "Are you alright, Hinata?"
Naruto quickly steadied her and put her back on the ground.
Upon hearing this, her face flushed red, but her eyes were filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Holding up his spoils, he exclaimed excitedly, "Naruto, we won!"
The sound of teammates' hearty laughter and figures giving thumbs-up in congratulations rang out from the side.
Minato was very pleased to witness the end of everything.
She looked at the two children with a particularly tender gaze and said, "Congratulations everyone, you've passed the test!"
An important meeting within Konoha has just concluded.
At this conference, Orochimaru demonstrated his political skills for the first time.
Compared to the previous Third Hokage, Orochimaru was more assertive and decisive.
His ambiguous stance regarding the issues concerning the two advisors and elders clearly indicated his desire to protect them.
The vacant spots were directly allocated to the Hyuga clan, a former major ally of the Uchiha clan.
Chapter 240 High-Level Meeting! Kawasaki Clan Chief!
This made those previous attempts to weaken their own strength backfire and backfire.
Kawasaki's representative then requested an investigation into members of the Sarutobi clan, but this request was denied.
Because these individuals belong to secret units and therefore cannot be subject to public investigation.
As a result, all the participants in the discussion saw Kawasaki storm off, his face grim.
Back in Uchiha territory, he felt that today's performance had been effective and had indeed earned Orochimaru a certain amount of fame and goodwill.
The next step should be carried out according to plan.
Kawasaki first wrote letters to the leaders of the major powers.
They were sent to Iwagakure-tsuchikage, Onoki, Sunagakure-kaze-kage, Rasa, Kumogakure-raikage, Ai, and Kirigakure-mizukage, Terumi Mei-chu respectively.
The task of delivering the message to the Land of Water was assigned to Shisui.
The messenger sent to the Land of Lightning was a man named Yaoyue.
As planned, the combat drills targeting the younger generation, which lasted for nearly two months, have finally come to an end.
During this process, many novices gained valuable practical combat experience, and the entire Uchiha clan also gained considerable fame as a result.
The high frequency of injuries during this period honed the skills of the medical team.
I am currently skilled in treating common external injuries.
Meanwhile, after the rotation system was put into practice, some veteran soldiers gradually developed an interest in education.
The announcement of the official closure of the training grounds was regrettable for many, but they had no choice but to accept the reality.
After all, from a strategic perspective, the objective has already been achieved and there is no need to delay any further.
Immediately afterwards, Kawasaki himself convened a meeting of the entire clan to discuss important matters.
This is the first time he has held a family gathering of this scale since he took over as patriarch.
Those who were able to participate were all beings with the strength of three or more Magatama. They sat quietly in their seats, waiting for instructions.
Everyone knew that today's gathering must be because Kawasaki was about to make some big move again.
Looking down at the rows of fellow students sitting below.
Kawasaki was filled with emotion and exclaimed, "With so many people supporting and helping us, what great thing can't we accomplish?"
His habit of not liking to talk too much nonsense led him to get straight to the point:
"My decision is for us to break away from the existing system and establish an independent force!"
These words struck like a bolt from the blue, leaving the audience stunned.
Although it appears to have achieved autonomy on the surface, it is still nominally under the jurisdiction of the original village.
If independence is officially declared, it means that all individuals with combat capabilities can migrate freely without restrictions.
These innocent civilians are not people who can be abandoned at will.
If met with resistance or counterattack, it could even escalate into an armed conflict, causing numerous casualties.
For the clan, the most important consideration is how to ensure the safety of these ordinary families and prevent them from suffering harm;
Therefore, the key issue we face now is how to deal with non-professional soldiers.
These individuals are crucial to ensuring the smooth implementation of the entire migration process without causing unrest.
Every decision that the Kawasaki clan chief has made throughout history.
No matter how absurd it may seem at first, it always benefits the entire community in the end.
Therefore, everyone trusts him very much.
After discussing for a while, everyone quieted down and looked at their clan leader.
After everyone calmed down, Kawasaki spoke:
"Our Uchiha clan has existed since the Warring States period, until we co-founded Konoha Village with Hashirama Senju,"
"It is all for the sake of achieving a peaceful and stable life."
"However, neither our family nor our personalities are suited to be subordinate to others."
"Since I became the interim elder and now I have become the clan leader, my goal has always been to free us all from the mess in Konoha."
"Since giving up the status given to us by Konoha, we have realized our wish that everyone can live a prosperous life through business."
Everyone present nodded in agreement.
Since leaving the security detail and ceasing to participate in missions, most people have actually been doing better.
Those who had previously worked in the garrison felt much more relaxed, no longer having to face situations where they performed their duties but did not receive recognition.
Everyone is working hard to make a living.
To become stronger, you can complete missions in the Sound Village.
If you choose an ordinary life, then go home and have more children.
After a series of subsidy measures were implemented, the more children the Uchiha clan had, the wealthier they became.
Nowadays, many families have two to three children, and some even have four or five.
Then, Kawasaki continued:
“Under these circumstances, life in Konoha Village will face a bottleneck.”
"When these children grow up, our population will increase significantly, and the resources needed will also increase exponentially."
"The word 'Konoha' means limitation and constraint to us."
"For the sake of future generations, we must leave here!"
"Those of you here today are the pillars of our family. Please raise your hands to vote on whether to support independence."
Upon hearing this, the crowd below agreed with his idea and raised their hands.
Some of them were supporters who unconditionally trusted Kawasaki, while others agreed after being persuaded.
