I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 769 Let go of the urge to help others and respect their fate.

"Be careful, pay attention to the timing of the seal, and trust your teammates."

On a battlefield, a golden light flashed, and Minato landed carrying a female ninja from the sealing squad. The girl, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, completely stopped listening to Minato the moment she saw his face.

She just nodded mechanically, her eyes already starting to sparkle with little hearts, seemingly forgetting that she had almost been killed just moments before.

Minato placed her on the ground and noticed that something was wrong with her. He reached out and checked the female ninja's pulse, which was strong and powerful. Apart from a slightly high heart rate, it was much healthier than that of other ninjas.

It's understandable that her heart rate was high, after all, they were on the battlefield. Minato thought that the girl might be frightened, so he looked up and observed the surroundings. It was relatively safe, so he thought he could let the female ninja adjust her mindset and emotions.

Ignoring the female ninja, Minato looked around again. There were quite a few ninjas in danger, but Minato's gaze didn't linger for long until he saw a ninja wearing a Konoha uniform also in danger.

The kunai was thrown out, followed by a golden light that instantly rescued the Konoha ninja from the battlefield. The speed was so fast that even the White Zetsu and the Edo Tensei ninja who were attacking the Konoha ninja couldn't react in time.

Golden light flashed across the battlefield as Konoha ninja were constantly rescued. This was one of the tasks Tobirama Senju gave to Minato Namikaze: to control casualties on the battlefield.

Minato himself might not have come up with such a "vicious" plan, but as the Hokage, he instantly understood the importance of this action to Konoha.

Therefore, unlike Itachi, who was still struggling with his doubts, Minato decisively accepted the order to eliminate high-threat opponents on the battlefield while preserving his own forces as much as possible.

Won't this approach be criticized? What's wrong with the Hokage saving the ninjas of his own village? If they're not happy, let their Kage come and save them too.

Konoha had even given similar opportunities beforehand, allowing the Kage of each village to undergo the Impure World Reincarnation, so that the current situation where the high-end combat power of each village is far inferior to that of Konoha would not have occurred.

But they gave up on it themselves, what does it have to do with Konoha? If these ninjas want to criticize someone, they should criticize their own superiors.

Minato was a good person, but also an outstanding ninja. Therefore, when he saw ninjas who were the same age as his children, or even younger than his children, asking for help, he would feel sad, but he could also bear to ignore them.

"Kakashi! How much longer?"

However, when the entire team was reduced to ten percent, Minato also took action, eliminating more than a dozen White Zetsu in one fell swoop, and sealing several reanimated ninjas. He landed next to Kakashi and said in a slightly serious tone.

"Excuse me, teacher, I ran into someone I know."

Kakashi gently pushed up his loose headband and looked at the two people in front of him: Zabuza Momochi, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and wielder of a great sword, and his attendant, Haku, a boy who looked like a girl.

Upon hearing this, Minato glanced at Haku and, noticing his age, frowned. He said, "Let's handle them properly and let them rest in peace as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Kakashi nodded, while Minato pulled out several kunai, looked at the other resurrected members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and said:

"These people look somewhat familiar; they're Senior Dai from back in the day."

"It's them, it's a pity Kai isn't here."

Kakashi glanced at the group of people who were rampaging through the crowd, but quickly looked away. Minato clenched his kunai slightly, and in an instant, golden chakra energy erupted from his body, covering his entire being.

"After I take care of them, you will be in command of this battlefield. Don't be reckless."

"Yes, teacher!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several kunai flew out. Even though the Seven Ninja Swordsmen's movements seemed random and disorderly, at a certain moment, the kunai still mysteriously arrived beside them.

A series of golden lights flashed, as if an old-fashioned electric lamp had been lit in the midst of the battlefield. The golden light meandered, yet they were strung together, radiating a dazzling light.

"Bang bang bang~"

Several collapsed bodies of impure earth reincarnations flew high into the air, and the kunai changed direction and followed closely behind them.

In just a moment, Minato defeated the remaining members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Several sealing talismans appeared in his hand. Those around him only saw him land for a fleeting moment before he vanished as a phantom.

And just a moment later, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, who had collapsed and were unable to continue moving for a short time, all had sealing talismans affixed to their bodies.

The sealing spell spread, covering the group. By the time they landed, they had turned into mummies. Unless the sealing talismans were removed, they would no longer be able to fight.

Meanwhile, some members of the Konoha Sealing Team tacitly gathered together and surrounded the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to prevent the White Zetsu from interfering.

"I'm going to check on the other battlefields. You guys hold the line and don't let the situation get any worse."

Minato addressed the members of the sealing squad, who responded in unison. Minato then activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, teleporting himself to another battlefield at a previously designated coordinate.

The combined forces of 100,000 and at least 100,000 White Zetsu make for a terrifying number of troops. Therefore, although it is assumed that the first battle will be the decisive one, the battle lines will still be stretched out and divided into several battlefields.

Because if 200,000 people are clustered together, the efficiency of the process would be far too low.

Moreover, compared to many White Zetsu who only act on instinct, fighting in groups is very disadvantageous for the Allied Shinobi Forces, because White Zetsu do not change their forms, while the Allied Shinobi Forces do.

The dispersed battlefield, even if it is just divided into several battlefields, is also of great help to the Allied Shinobi Forces. First, it improves combat efficiency and avoids a large number of people pointlessly watching the war.

Secondly, it prevents a mutiny in one team from affecting other battlefields, making battlefield control simpler and more effective.

However, in order to facilitate mutual support, relocation, or other tactical coordination, the battlefields are not particularly far apart, so Minato can flexibly move between different battlefields to provide support.

When only the large battlefield where Tatsuma was located remained, Minato stopped and sensed the situation in that direction.

"Such powerful chakra must belong to Madara Uchiha, right?"

A hint of seriousness appeared on Minato's face, but it quickly dissipated, replaced by confidence born of trust.

"Tatsuma should be fine. If all else fails, we can ask the First Generation for help."

Relieved, Minato lifted one side of his collar, revealing a pin-shaped communicator microphone inside. He pressed the switch and said, "Second Hokage, we can move out at any time, but I haven't found it yet."

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud bang came from afar, and huge octopus legs flew through the air, accompanied by the chakra fluctuations of various tailed beasts. The shockwaves even made the canopies of the trees around Minato sway.

Even from a great distance, Minato could sense the intensity of the battle. When he saw what appeared to be a flash of golden light, Minato narrowed his eyes, his gentle tone turning chilling as he said, "I've found it."

Second Generation Lord, I will be leaving the group to operate independently. Please wait here for a few minutes while I get in position to assess the situation.

"receive."

The miniature communicator in my ear transmitted Tobirama Senju's voice.
