Chapter 241: The Third Mizukage
"What?"
Minato was chatting with Konan and the others one moment, but his expression suddenly changed the next. The person chasing from behind was definitely not a friend, so he dashed to the stern.
His sharp eyesight could make out the turbulent seawater in the distance. Just as Nagato had said, something was rapidly approaching.
"Prepare to fight!"
The distance was still too far, and Minato couldn't identify the enemy yet. Everyone immediately took up their positions, and Nawaki joined Minato at the stern. The sea was considered his home ground.
"I'll go take a look," Nawaki said and soared into the sky, heading toward the churning sea. Running directly across the water would be too risky, which was why Minato had refrained from checking himself.
"Be careful," Minato cautioned, his eyes never leaving the approaching figure.
Nawaki reached the area above the churning waters. Without needing a closer look, he noticed the sea had suddenly calmed. A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately began forming hand seals.
"Minato, protect the ship."
"Water Release: Water Wall." As Nawaki completed the hand seals, a towering water wall rose from the sea, shielding the stern of the ship.
"They've caught up."
