Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 485 is finished.

However, this was the first time Li Yao had ever seen someone so capable of causing such intense pain that it drove a person to the brink of spiritual collapse.

"Minato, of all the people I've met, I, Li Yao, would say you are the most devoted in terms of affection!"

Li Yao's voice rang directly in Minato's ear.

Unfortunately, Minato could no longer hear anything at this point.

He watched his wife, Xin Jiunai, whose face was filled with happiness and contentment, and finally, with a smile on his lips, his soul completely collapsed and dissipated, and he died.

Li Yao did not stop him, nor did he use the Six Paths Yang Power to revive Minato. He simply watched Minato die, watching the character he admired most in the Naruto anime from his previous life die.

Minato is not like the Third Hokage or Danzo.

There are only two people in the entire ninja world that Li Yao wants to torment indefinitely, especially the Third Hokage. Even if Li Yao loses interest in tormenting him one day, he will still make the Third Hokage live in pain forever.

Apart from these two, Li Yao killed the others without hesitation, at most giving them a painful blow before they died.

Just like everything Minato saw earlier.

Li Yao simply didn't expect that Minato's love for Shinjiro was so deep that Minato died without Li Yao having to take action himself.

To be honest, Li Yao was deeply moved by this affection.

To reciprocate this profound emotional experience, Li Yao made a decision. He looked at Xin Jiunai, whose eyes were filled with excitement and happiness, and sighed inwardly.

"Sigh! Go in peace, Minato. From now on, I am yours. I will take good care of Shinobu and your son... hmm?"

Li Yao's expression suddenly stiffened, then relaxed again.

"What's wrong?"

Xin Jiunai's senses are now very sharp, especially her senses of Li Yao's physical condition. She sensed the moment Li Yao's body stiffened.

"It's okay, you can continue!"

Li Yao smiled and said that Xin Jiunai didn't mind and continued her wild galloping.

"It's over!"

Li Yao smiled wryly. He had been so moved by Minato's deep affection that he hadn't been able to save Minato's soul in time.

Now, Li Yao wasn't sure if Naruto would be able to get out.

Originally, according to Li Yao's idea, Naruto and Sasuke had to be born, because only the two of them could lure out the Sage of Six Paths.

Although Sasuke wasn't born yet, his Fire Release clone, which retained Fugaku's soul and body, made it possible for Mikoto to conceive Sasuke.

Naruto is in a bit of trouble.

Kushina is still alive, but Minato is only a physical body; his soul just dissipated and disappeared—the kind of disappearance that even Impure World Reincarnation couldn't summon back.

This means that even if Li Yao possesses Minato's body now, he still cannot make Kushina conceive Naruto, or rather, conceive Ashura, the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths.

After all, the key to the reincarnation of an Asura's soul lies in the soul itself.

Only the union of Minato, who possesses a soul, and Kushina, who also possesses a soul, could give birth to Naruto, the reincarnation of Ashura.

"Sigh, why didn't I think of that?"

"What do we do now?"

As Xin Jiunai released the pressure, Li Yao remained calm and composed, his eyes filled with contemplation.

"what……"

Xin Jiunai suddenly let out a soft moan, and her whole body went limp instantly, with only a few tendons still causing her muscles to twitch.

Feeling the smooth, delicate skin enveloping him like slime, Li Yao suddenly had a thought.

Perhaps, it's not necessary for Minato's soul to be intact, or rather, it's not necessary for Minato himself to be present.

Li Yao suddenly had an idea.

The reincarnations of Ashura and Indra, the two sons of the Sage of Six Paths, will forever only be reincarnated within the ninja clans that possess the bloodlines of Ashura and Indra.

In the ninja world, the Senju and Uzumaki clans possess the Ashura bloodline, while the Uchiha clan has always possessed the Indra bloodline.

Therefore, the key to Naruto's birth lies with Kushina, not Minato. Even if it were a different man, Naruto would still be Naruto, without a doubt.

Even his personality won't be too different from Naruto's in the original work.

As we all know, whether it's Hashirama or Naruto, as reincarnations of Ashura, their personalities are similar and there won't be much difference.

Indra's reincarnations, Madara Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha, were similar.

Therefore, Li Yao doesn't need to worry about Naruto not being able to get out.

His only concern was how much white chakra energy he would need to release to get Kushina pregnant with Naruto.

Li Yao still has time for this problem; he can take it slowly. If once isn't enough, he can try a thousand or ten thousand times until Naruto is born, and the same goes for Sasuke.

With his future plans unchanged, Li Yao felt even more at ease.

……

The Land of Thunder.

While Li Yao's main body was busy, his earth-escape clone was being chased around.

Three thousand meters above the ground, fluffy white clouds drifted by.

Earth Release clone - Ishii, carrying Ash and Big Wave Secretary, flew in front, with the Fourth Raikage flying behind the three.

"Don't run away! Didn't you say you were coming for me? Now I'm here, let's fight!"

"What? Is the Fourth Tsuchikage scared? What a coward!!"

The Fourth Raikage may not be the strongest Raikage of all time, but his voice is definitely the loudest. Even from a distance of a thousand meters, his provocation seemed to ring right next to the ears of his Earth Release clones, Ishii and the other two.

"hateful!"

"Let me tear that bastard's mouth apart!"

Earth Release clone - Ishii didn't react much. Haito couldn't take it anymore and wanted to turn around to deal with the Fourth Raikage, but the Super Light Rock Technique was performed by Earth Release clone - Ishii. Under the control of Earth Release clone - Ishii, she couldn't turn around and fly away.

"Ishii!!" Gray Earth looked at the Earth Release clone - Ishii.

"Don't rush, be patient, we haven't reached Kumogakure yet."

Earth Release clone - Ishii calmed down Ash, telling him to get Kumogakure to accept a ceasefire. He shouldn't use absolute power to subdue the Raikage in front of everyone in Kumogakure, because these impulsive guys wouldn't easily accept a ceasefire agreement.

"Alright, when we get to Kumogakure, you absolutely have to give that bastard a good beating." Gray Earth turned around and glared fiercely at the Fourth Raikage.

"No problem." Li Yao smiled, put his arm around the waist of his secretary, who had big waves in her hair, turned around and flew backward, dawdling as he flew, while glancing at the Fourth Raikage behind him who was gritting his teeth.

No matter how strong you are, if you can't fly as fast as me, you can only stare helplessly.

This is the current situation of the Fourth Raikage.

Seeing the provocative scene of the three despicable men and women in front of him, the hot-tempered Fourth Raikage's anger surged.

But no matter how furious he was, he couldn't fly past Li Yao's earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magical technique) clone, Shi Yan, who was in front of him.

"Damn it, don't run away! Fight me, you bastard!!!"

"what……"

The Fourth Raikage had no choice but to try to provoke his Earth Release clone, Ishii, into stopping, since it was flying towards the village.

As early as when the Anbu learned... no, it was after the Fourth Tsuchikage deliberately lowered his flight altitude to tell the Anbu ninja that he was flying towards the village, the Fourth Raikage intercepted him in advance.

At this time, the Fourth Raikage's physical body may not be as strong as that of his father, the Third Raikage, but he is even stronger than his father in controlling the Lightning Release Chakra Mode ninjutsu.
