Holy Grail War? Dragon Ball War

His figure ran across the wilderness; the half-day journey wasn't too strenuous for Ban's speed.

Even though he doesn't have a body like the one from Edo Tensei, his physique is not weak.

Is there still a little distance?

He looked up at the already dark sky. He had encountered many residents of this world on this journey.

Through inquiries, Ban was also able to learn about the situation of the "great powers" here.

“Really”

Looking back on everything I've been through, why didn't I understand such a simple truth before?

"!"

The running stopped, the Sharingan was open, and the figure wearing the Hokage robe "flashed" out from behind.

A small section of Susanoo's skeletal hand extended from the arm, grabbed the opponent's wrist, and threw him away before the Rasengan could strike his back.

Minato was taken aback by the opponent's astonishing reaction, but he did not hesitate and instead used the Flying Thunder God Technique to disappear again.

"Flying Thunder God Technique?"

"I see. I remember you are..."

"Naruto Uzumaki's father, Minato Namikaze, right?"

Recalling the figure he had just seen, even though he hadn't seen the face clearly, he would never forget the striking blond hair.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Madara would never forget the enemies who caused him so much trouble in battle.

"!"

Minato, who was hiding in the distance, was startled when his identity was read out in one breath.

Sharingan.

That appearance

As the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, Minato Namikaze was not so incapable of not recognizing who it was.

Even though they had never met this person before, their appearance and description were recorded in Konoha's secret intelligence.

Uchiha Madara!

What puzzled him was that this Uchiha Madara was completely different from the "masked Madara" he had encountered before. Not to mention his demeanor, even his tone of voice was very different.

Moreover, logically speaking, this person should have lost to the First Hokage in the battle at the Valley of the End and subsequently died. Even if he was summoned as a dead person, he shouldn't have such insights.

"I didn't expect to run into Konoha ninjas here."

Unable to describe his feelings, Ban simply sighed.

Based on their exchange, he knew that this Minato Namikaze had probably never fought him before.

Otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have been so "reckless" as to choose the Flying Thunder God Technique to get close.

For him now, reacting to the Flying Thunder God Technique is incredibly easy.

"You are an enemy Servant."

"Then there's no need to be polite."

"Use your Sage Art to attack! Aren't those shadow clones hiding far away just for this?"

As if he had seen through the layout of the Minato Gate, Madara not only did not back down, but took a few steps forward and took the initiative to enter the "battlefield" set up by the Minato Gate.

The ground there was covered with Flying Thunder God techniques, which Minato Namikaze had carved in advance to facilitate battle.

He even saw through Minato's backup plan.

Sage Mode

"!"

Minato frowned; this Madara seemed to know him all too well.

Even the function of shadow clones has been discovered.

Indeed, he is not very good at Sage Mode. Condensing natural energy takes a lot of time and is not sustainable.

Therefore, having come prepared this time, he created two shadow clones elsewhere to prepare in advance.

Unexpectedly, Madara saw through it at a glance.

Are you considering countermeasures?

Not being attacked immediately, Madara knew that his words had alerted the other party.

With direct attacks proving ineffective, Madara knew exactly what his opponent would do next.

(That's right, to avoid the effects of the Sharingan, attacking from behind is the most convenient.)

(And normal attacks are unlikely to defeat me through Susanoo.)

(The way to achieve a decisive victory is...)

The figures reappeared, but this time there were two of them, not one.

Shadow clone!

With no shortage of mana supply, this was already a very convenient and easy-to-use ninjutsu for Minato.

As Susanoo's arm extended, Madara delivered a slash without even turning his head.

But then the two figures disappeared again, and then reappeared not far away.

There are an unusually large number of Flying Thunder God Techniques set up here, giving Minato Namikaze ample initiative.

The technique invented by Tobirama was quite troublesome in a certain sense.

This is especially true when the enemy possesses threatening attack capabilities.

"Boooooooh!!"

Despite repeated attempts to harass him, Madara always reacted promptly. Even when he threw kunai to try and close the distance, Madara would still notice and knock the kunai away.

(Do you know anything about the Flying Thunder God Technique?)

The true form remained hidden in the distance, but Minato found it difficult to reach it.

He might be able to defeat other ninjas with the Rasengan, but against this one, the ordinary Rasengan is not enough.

So he planned to use another method, but unfortunately the other party seemed to know, and was particularly wary of letting him get close.

The gap, less than a meter wide, was like an insurmountable chasm.

It would be too difficult to touch Madara Uchiha using a "sealing technique"!

"You are a ninja who is more adept at using the Flying Thunder God Technique than Tobirama."

"If you set up your spells properly and use them to harass others, you could make it impossible for many people to do anything about you in this great battle, right?"

"Not to mention possessing excellent sealing techniques."

Seeing that Minato was putting up a tug-of-war and stalling, Madara knew that even if he revealed a weakness, the opponent's main body would not take the bait.

"With a huge supply of magic power, there is absolutely no need to worry about using ninjutsu."

"Apart from lacking the element of immortality, it is not much different from the Impure World Reincarnation."

This "Shadow Clone Minato" is indeed comparable to the so-called "Homecoming Minato" in a certain sense.

Minato can make countless mistakes, but even a single oversight could be disastrous for Madara, who was caught in a sealing jutsu.

The best solution is to remove the Flying Thunder God imprints from the surrounding area.

But achieving that level is not something that can be done easily.

"If you don't intend to fight me head-on, then I'll have to move on."

Of course, Madara wasn't entirely without options. After all, he was aiming for the other side's territory. As long as he ran all the way there, lured out the enemy, and wiped them all out, it wouldn't matter if only Minato Namikaze was left in the end.

Realizing that Madara was continuing his advance, Minato had to maintain the harassment with his shadow clones while contacting Amakusa.

…………

"Hmm, can't Assassin (Minato Namikaze) take on this alone?"

"The opponent looks quite formidable."

In the church, Amakusa also received a message from Minato, and he pondered deeply.

Berserker is still recovering, and Assassin is chanting incantations.

"Then let's make plans for both possibilities."

Thinking of the remaining two riders, Amakusa smiled.

(Assassin, go and bring Lancer to the battlefield.)

(I'm going to inform Saber, the master and servant)
