Naruto: Countless versions of myself superimposed at the same time!

Suma Shi was greatly shocked. The kid's movements, eyes, and combat experience were completely different from before!

That's a fighting instinct that comes from countless trials and tribulations.

Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara were dumbfounded.

Nohara Rin covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"How could Kiyohara suddenly become so powerful?"

Kurenai Yuhi's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

In the arena, Kiyohara and Suma Shi clashed head-on, Kiyohara using skill to deflect most of the force of the rock's fist.

However, given the limited basic chakra and strength, he was forced back a few steps by the shock, and his arm felt slightly numb.

Dealing with multiple people at the same time is extremely taxing on him.

"I was too weak in the past..."

When the rogue ninja Kiyohara possesses his body, he can always feel the limits of that body.

Even if you fight at full capacity, it's difficult to maintain that for a long time.

Suma Shi also noticed Kiyohara's fatigue and sneered:

"He's at his last gasp! Let's attack together and finish him off!"

The remaining dozen or so Iwagakure ninjas surrounded them again, unleashing all their deadly moves!

At this critical juncture...

A golden light appeared in the center of the battlefield as if teleported!

There was no warning, as if he was always meant to be there.

The newcomer had dazzling blond hair, wore a green ninja vest, and had a handsome face with a reassuring calmness.

It was Minato Namikaze!

He didn't even look at it for long before the specially made kunai in his hand turned into afterimages.

puff!puff!puff!

The three Iwagakure ninjas almost simultaneously had their throats slashed by kunai, and before they could even finish, their faces still showing expressions of shock, they collapsed, exhausted.

Suma Shi's pupils constricted sharply; a strong sense of crisis made the hairs on his body stand on end, and he shouted:

"Golden flash!!"

He almost instinctively wanted to use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or technique) to escape underground.

But the water gate was even faster!

"Flying Thunder God Technique, Second Stage!"

With a flash, Minato appeared behind Sumashi, his specially made kunai slashing mercilessly across Sumashi's back.

Boom!

Sumashi flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashed into a large tree, and then completely lost his life.

Then, Minato Namikaze used the same method to eliminate the remaining enemies.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

The battle, which was just on the verge of collapse, was instantly reversed by the arrival of one person.

At this moment, the rogue ninja Kiyohara also broke free from the possession, and Kiyohara himself took over the controls.

Kiyohara inexplicably had a sense of déjà vu, like his armor was disintegrating...

"call……"

Kiyohara was panting. He had used his full strength during the attack on the rogue ninja, and now that it was over, he was sore all over.

"As expected of Minato Namikaze."

Kiyohara thought to himself, looking at Minato Namikaze in front of him.

These people, the Iwagakure ninja who brought them immense pressure, are nothing more than easy minions to Minato Namikaze now.

After all, Minato Namikaze was one of the three strongest commoner ninjas.

As for the two people after that, Kiyohara believes they are Shimon Kai and Senjin Kabuto in that order.

All three of them had no bloodline limitations and relied solely on their talent to reach the end.

Unfortunately, in the end, he could only be relegated to a supporting role, buying time for Naruto and Sasuke and creating opportunities for them.

Minato turned around and looked at Kiyohara, who was panting heavily and almost exhausted, and then at the shocked Kakashi, Kurenai Yuhi, Rin Nohara, and Genma Shiranui.

With an apologetic expression on his face, he began to speak:

"Sorry I'm late."

Looking at the landslide behind him and the Sharingan in Kakashi's left eye, Minato Namikaze had already foreseen what was going to happen.

Obito has probably already... sacrificed himself.

"Thanks to you, Kiyohara."

Minato Namikaze looked at Kiyohara.

While he was still far away, he saw Kiyohara dragging several Iwagakure ninjas by himself.

If it weren't for Kiyohara, Kakashi and the others wouldn't have been able to withstand his arrival.

Kakashi will no longer be able to stand; he will simply faint from exhaustion of chakra.

"This is what I should do. I will not abandon any of my comrades. This is my ninja way, Lord Minato."

Kiyohara shook his head.

Now that Minato Namikaze has arrived, it can be said that this mission is 99% complete.

All that's left is for Minato Namikaze to lead them to blow up the bridge, and Kiyohara can go back and claim his war merits.

Now all you need to do is show your spirit of the Will of Fire.

As expected, Minato Namikaze was stunned for a moment upon hearing Kiyohara's righteous and awe-inspiring words.

He was somewhat impressed by Kiyohara's high level of awareness.

"Thank goodness Minato-sama came, otherwise we definitely wouldn't have been able to escape."

Genma Shiranui wiped the senbon that had fallen to the ground with the corner of his clothes and put it back in his mouth.

He felt like he had just been on the verge of death, and almost made it to the Pure Land.

Minato Namikaze remained silent for a moment after hearing Genma Shiranui's words, and then said:

"No, I am not a real hero."

Minato Namikaze actually felt somewhat guilty.

The greatest contribution of Kakashi's team and Kiyohara's team was actually to collect enemy information and bring the specially made kunai with his mark into enemy-controlled areas.

Only then could these hidden ninjas be wiped out in one fell swoop, saving a lot of time and energy.

"Who is the real hero?"

Genma Shiranui was somewhat stunned.

"It is Kiyohara, it is Kakashi, it is Obito, and it is all of you. You are the true heroes."

Minato Namikaze shook his head.

Kiyohara, in particular, outperformed Obito, who had Uchiha blood, and Kakashi, the son of White Fang, in this mission.

This made Minato Namikaze see his own reflection in Kiyohara, who had also gradually become excellent in the same way.

"Alright, we should go now. After we blow up the bridge, we can go back to the village."

Minami Namikaze.

"Finally, I can go back to the village."

A smile appeared on Yuhi Kurenai's face, as if she had been relieved.

Will we be able to set off back to the village by tomorrow at the latest?

Chapter 25: A Scam by Capital

puff.

Seeing that Minato Namikaze had defeated all the enemies, the tension that had been building in my heart finally eased.

Exhaustion washed over Kakashi like a tidal wave, engulfing his body and mind, and he immediately collapsed.

"Kakashi!"

"Nohara Rin shouted."

She quickly checked Kakashi's condition and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that he was just overexerting himself.

"Genma, you carry Kakashi on your back."

Minami Namikaze.

Nohara Rin and Yuhi Kurenai, the two girls, were unable to participate, and Kiyohara had just exerted the most effort and was exhausted.

Therefore, the heavy responsibility of carrying Kakashi fell to Genma Shiranui.

"Yes, Lord Minato."

Genma Shiranui nodded and carried Kakashi on his back.

"Shall we leave now?"

Kiyohara asked after Kakashi was carried on his back.

"It's too late tonight. Let's rest for the night and then destroy the bridge tomorrow."

Minami Namikaze.

"Is that so..."

Kiyohara thought about it for a moment, but still didn't voice his doubts.

That's why no one went to collect Obito's body.

Neither Kakashi, Rin Nohara, nor Minato Namikaze mentioned this matter.

Even in the Kakashi Gaiden, Minato Namikaze wiped out all the enemies on the field, just like he does now, showing that they weren't in a rush.

If Minato Namikaze had arrived immediately and managed to clear away the rubble and take the "corpse" back for burial, there probably wouldn't have been so many problems later.

Even if he encountered Madara Uchiha, Minato Namikaze possessed the "Flying Thunder God Technique," so escaping wouldn't be difficult.

Madara Uchiha is powerful, but he is too old now and is only kept alive by the "Gedo Mazo".

Even if some forbidden technique temporarily restores his strength, it's impossible for him to go too far to chase after Minato Namikaze.

The "Flying Thunder God Technique" doesn't have the same forward swing as "Kamui".

In the end, Kiyohara didn't say anything more.

This matter won't bring him any benefit.

If a real fight breaks out, Minato Namikaze might be able to escape, but Kiyohara might not be.

Before leaving, Kiyohara didn't forget to check his bag.

After searching through all the corpses of the Iwagakure ninja, Kiyohara didn't have time to take stock of his loot and had to leave with the others.

…………

At the same time, Madara Uchiha, who was below, slowly opened his eyes, his three-tomoe Sharingan seemingly looking at something in the darkness.

Sure enough, where he was looking, the wall rippled like water, and White Zetsu brought over Obito, who only had half a body.

His cross-section was covered with a thin layer of white flesh, which stopped the bleeding.

"It's already been brought over, Lord Madara."

One White Zetsu was followed by another short White Zetsu, whose size was similar to Obito's.
