Minato Namikaze and Uchiha Setsuna had already clashed several times.
The two constantly flickered through the forest, dazzling to the eye, with the clanging sounds of Flying Thunder God Kunai and Ninja Blades colliding.
After Minato Namikaze and Uchiha Setsuna clashed again, both sides simultaneously retreated.
Minato Namikaze looked at Uchiha Setsuna in front of him with a grave expression.
He possessed space-time movement similar to his own, but even more flexible, which must be the ability of his Mangekyo Sharingan.
He had also unsealed the Nine-Tailed and tamed it, and... he could freely enter and exit Konoha's barrier without hindrance. Within his knowledge, there was only one person who could do this.
"Are you... Uchiha Madara? No, that's not right, he died a long time ago."
Uchiha Setsuna snorted coldly, "Hmph, I'll die? I am an immortal existence!"
Minato Namikaze said in a deep voice, "Given the circumstances, it doesn't matter who you are, but why are you targeting Konoha?"
"Because, I want to do this. All of this is for my dream!"
Uchiha Setsuna raised the Ninja Blade in his hand, pointing it at Minato Namikaze.
Minato Namikaze also raised his Flying Thunder God Kunai, preparing for battle.
Minato Namikaze's gaze was fixed on Uchiha Setsuna, deep in thought.
The opponent's strength was formidable, possessing the ability to control the Nine-Tailed, and space-time Ninjutsu superior to his own and the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama. A decisive battle had to be fought here, otherwise, it might become even more troublesome than the Nine-Tailed's rampage.
If he were to instantly jump to Konoha now, this guy would follow, only making the already chaotic battlefield even more chaotic.
Now, he could only trust his comrades in the Village.
Moreover, he had already discovered the weakness of the opponent's instant movement.
"You have no hope left. After tonight..." Uchiha Setsuna instantly appeared to Minato Namikaze's left, his Ninja Blade thrusting towards Minato Namikaze: "Konoha will become history!"
Uchiha Setsuna's Ninja Blade pierced Minato Namikaze.
Before the smile could fully form on Uchiha Setsuna's face, Minato Namikaze suddenly turned into a puff of smoke.
"What? A Shadow Clone?!"
Meanwhile, Minato Namikaze appeared behind Uchiha Setsuna.
"Rasengan!"
A Rasengan appeared in Minato Namikaze's right hand, and he slammed it hard into Uchiha Setsuna's back.
Uchiha Setsuna coughed up a mouthful of blood, was sent flying, and only stopped after breaking a tree.
"Your space-time instant movement can only be performed within your line of sight. You cannot instantly move to positions in your blind spot!"
Uchiha Setsuna struggled to his feet from the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Did you use a Shadow Clone during our recent exchange? That's truly impressive."
Uchiha Setsuna now also felt that Minato Namikaze was extremely troublesome.
He hadn't expected Minato Namikaze to discover the weakness of his ocular Jutsu in such a short time.
Minato Namikaze's analysis was correct; his ocular Jutsu could only perform instant movement within his line of sight, and he couldn't instantly move to positions outside of it.
Minato Namikaze suddenly vanished from his original spot.
Just as Uchiha Setsuna was also preparing to instantly move, Minato Namikaze suddenly appeared in front of him, pressing his right hand heavily onto his body.
Uchiha Setsuna's pupils constricted to a point: "Did the previous attack leave a Flying Thunder God Jutsu formula mark on me?!"
Sealing Techniques formulas appeared on Uchiha Setsuna's body.
"Contract Seal? You plan to separate the Nine-Tailed from me?!"
"This way, the Nine-Tailed will no longer be yours! Rasengan!"
Minato Namikaze used Rasengan again, pressing it towards Uchiha Setsuna.
Uchiha Setsuna raised his left arm to block the Rasengan, and he retreated backward with the momentum, creating distance from Minato Namikaze.
At the same time, Deva Path Pain, Konan, and Sasori appeared beside Uchiha Setsuna.
Uchiha Setsuna's left arm, struck by the Rasengan, seemed to melt, dripping onto the ground.
This left arm was a White Zetsu's arm, with blood flowing from the connection point.
Minato Namikaze looked at Deva Path Pain and the two others with a troubled expression; three more troublesome individuals had appeared.
Deva Path Pain said to Uchiha Setsuna, "It failed, let's retreat."
Although Uchiha Setsuna was unwilling, there was nothing he could do; staying any longer would be useless.
Uchiha Setsuna looked at Minato Namikaze and threatened, "Minato Namikaze, this time you got lucky. Next time, you won't be so fortunate. The Nine-Tailed will be ours sooner or later. When it comes to methods, I have plenty."
Uchiha Setsuna made an empty slash with the Ninja Blade in his right hand, and a space-time rift appeared.
Uchiha Setsuna, Deva Path Pain, Konan, and Sasori entered the space-time rift.
After the four entered the rift, the space-time rift vanished in mid-air.
Minato Namikaze's expression was extremely grave, because he felt that Uchiha Setsuna was not lying.
...
Konoha.
The Nine-Tailed, having regained its sanity, instead rampaged even more fiercely.
After all, the Nine-Tailed also harbored hatred for Konoha.
Previously, when the Nine-Tailed was controlled by Uchiha Setsuna's Sharingan, Uchiha Fugaku's Susanoo could barely contend with it, and with the help of Hiruzen Sarutobi and others, they slowly forced the Nine-Tailed out of Konoha.
But now, the Nine-Tailed was even more aggressive, and prolonged use of Susanoo consumed too much Chakra, causing Uchiha Fugaku to be on the verge of collapsing.
As the Nine-Tailed's punch struck Uchiha Fugaku's Susanoo again, Uchiha Fugaku's Susanoo was shattered and disappeared, and the situation once again turned unfavorable.
Obito and Rin Nohara found Uchiha Shisui.
Obito and Uchiha Shisui had become good partners, and upon seeing Uchiha Shisui struck in the abdomen and sent flying, Obito immediately rushed to find Uchiha Shisui with Rin Nohara.
Uchiha Shisui lay in the rubble, a black rod impaled in his abdomen, unable to exert any strength.
"Shisui!"
Obito and Rin Nohara rushed to Uchiha Shisui's side.
Obito pulled out the black rod from Uchiha Shisui's abdomen, and Rin Nohara began to treat Uchiha Shisui.
However, Uchiha Shisui stopped Rin Nohara, "Now is not the time for treatment. I still have to fight."
Uchiha Shisui struggled to stand up.
Obito anxiously said, "How can you fight in your current condition?"
Uchiha Shisui covered his constantly bleeding abdomen and stood up, "The Clan Head's Susanoo has been defeated, the situation is very bad, I must step in! Next, I will use Susanoo..."
Obito pressed Uchiha Shisui's shoulder, "Shisui, let me handle this next! Rin, continue treating Shisui!"
Uchiha Shisui frowned, "Obito!"
Obito said with a firm tone, "Believe me, I can also use Susanoo! And, I also want to be a hero for once, to perform well in front of the person I like!"
When mentioning the person he liked, Obito's gaze shifted towards Rin Nohara.
Rin Nohara suddenly hugged Obito, "Obito, I'll wait for you to come back!"
Obito was stunned for a moment, then broke into a happy smile, "Mm! Wait for me to come back!"
Obito rushed towards the Nine-Tailed's direction.
