Chapter 13 - The spar (1/2)

{AN: So, I found out writing battles with the writing style I've used until now. Thus, I will try this new style for this chapter, and after I post is, I will comment two comments, one saying; ”new style” and one saying; ”old style”, so please upvote the comment with the style you like better. Anyway, I have seen this style used in other fanfics, and I think it makes the story more fluid.

Anyway, here's how it works:

”Normal talk”

'Thought'

*Tailed-beasts and the like talk*

~Tailed-beasts and the like thought~

Also, updates might be slow for a while, since I'm entering exam season (◡︵◡)

After colliding weapons with Minato, I quickly created some distance between us. I smirked, as I saw Minato take out some kunai, not even realizing what I did…

'Whenever I throw some kunai, that I have attached my chakra to, they will immediately turn towards Minato, good try but I win this exchange!'

I had taken some inspiration from the recently deceased Toroi, in that, as soon as our weapons touched, I magnetized Minato's entire body, which would make any metal with my chakra signature attached become homing, whenever they were close to him.

Minato threw his kunai, quickly starting the hand signs for his jutsu. ”Shadow kunai jutsu!”. The kunai he had thrown, split into two, which then once again split, creating a solid wall of kunai, that would be impossible to dodge…

Thinking fast, my mind came upon the picture of Pain's deva path using the universal push in three hundred and sixty degrees, making any throwing weapon be repelled from him. I had been playing with this idea before, but I was never able to make it work…

As if given a revelation from God, I remembered the technique I just used on Minato… making a mental facepalm towards my stupidity

'It's just like in my old world, where you would have to align the micro-magnets in the iron before it becomes magnetic. Here my chakra is the equivalent to the micro magnets, so if I pulse a magnetic field with my chakra, it will attach to the weapon, allowing me to repel them towards Minato, and use his own weapons against him'

”Magnet style: dual wave pulse magnetic repulsion mark one”

I sent out two quick pulses, the first to magnetize the iron, and the other to repel them. Just as planned, some of the kunai got repulsed, homing in on Minato, who was quickly replaced by a log, revealing that had used the replacement technique to get out of range.

Unfortunately for me, most of the kunai, about three fourths, continued their path towards me…

'Shit, why didn't it work, ohh wait, those must be the shadow kunai, which is made up of Minato's chakra, that probably overwhelmed my chakra, making my jutsu fail… now I just have to block these kunai first'

'Where is he now?'

I looked around me, not daring to relax, since I knew that Minato could launch a surprise attack any time, keeping up the hand sign, so I would be able to react in time.

I slowly shifted my position towards an opening in the trees in the training ground, hoping it would give me more time to reach to the oncoming attack.

'If I get to the middle, it should be far enough away, so he won't be able to use the substitution technique'

I smirked slightly at my thought, momentarily shifting my attention, which Minato captivated on.
