Soon after, Minato Namikaze returned from the battlefield.

He had no wounds, but he was panting heavily; the long battle had taken a heavy toll on him.

"What happened? Why did you send a signal to call me back?"

Minato Namikaze asked, panting, though he was somewhat dissatisfied that he had been called back without an emergency.

But he wasn't angry; instead, he asked gently.

Uchiha Iori explained the situation in detail, and her strong confidence infected the others.

After listening, Minato Namikaze nodded and said gently, "Then leave the evacuation to me. You can use your secret technique with peace of mind."

"Even if the results are not good, I can still bring you back. Don't feel pressured. We have basically achieved our objective in this operation."

Minato Namikaze's voice was gentle yet firm.

He truly lived up to his nickname "Little Sun," as he never forgot to take care of his teammates' feelings even in the midst of such a tense battle.

After saying that, Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring Inuzuka Jacques and the others to the back, and then quickly returned to Iori's side.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Minato Namikaze asked with a smile.

"No need, please watch my performance." Uchiha Iori replied confidently, and then it was his turn to perform.

With Minato Namikaze gone, the Iwa ninja gradually regained their command and slowly regrouped.

Seeing the Iwa ninjas gathering around, Iori took a deep breath, and his chakra rapidly converged, all of which was concentrated at the tip of the Demon Spear.

Seeing Iori's actions, the Iwa ninja all stopped in their tracks.

"Team 1, use Multiple Earth Flow Walls to defend; Team 2, use Rock Iron Cannons to disrupt him."

Although Anshan was furious, he remained rational and quickly issued orders.

Although Iori's specific intentions are unclear, this massive chakra reaction should not be underestimated.

"Too late, prepare to die, Gáe Bolg!"

Iori leaped high into the air, dodging the incoming flying stones.

He concentrated all his chakra into the spear in his hand, his arm veins bulging, and threw the spear out with all his might.

Like a crimson meteor streaking across the sky, the demonic spear fell from the heavens.

Like divine punishment, it easily shattered the multiple layers of earthen walls.

The semi-enclosed space actually amplified the power of the explosion, and the blast wave, carrying the stench of blood, swept across the entire battlefield.

As the smoke cleared, only severed limbs and wreckage remained; the violent explosion had obliterated many lives.

Of the dozens of Iwa ninja who had gathered earlier, only a few Jonin survived.

All the other ninjas died in the explosion.

Even the surviving Jonin were all severely injured and incapacitated.

Minato Namikaze seized the opportunity and took the exhausted Iori Uchiha back to the rear.

He used the Flying Thunder God Technique again to enter the battlefield and easily reaped the last remaining Jonin.

"I have witnessed your power. I am honored to be your teacher and I am also fortunate that you are a ninja of Konoha."

Nobuhiko Tsukiko said to Iori, his eyes sparkling with satisfaction and pride.

"This power is no less than that of a Tailed Beast Ball. In the future, I may be able to boast that I once trained a man who will be a force to be reckoned with in the ninja world."

"Haha, compared to the Tailed Beasts that can unleash Tailed Beast Balls indefinitely, I'm still far behind."

Uchiha Iori smiled modestly. He was still somewhat self-aware, knowing that he only had the strength for one or two attacks at the moment, and his chakra reserves remained a major weakness.

They still need to use genetic technology to revert to their ancestral form and obtain the physique of the Thousand Hands clan.

After the explosion, the Iwa ninja were routed. Having lost their commander and nearly half of their fighting force, their vanguard had lost its threat.

By the time their reinforcements arrive, Jiraiya and Konoha's support forces should also be there.

The first battle between Konoha and Iwa ninja ended in a complete victory for Konoha.

Upon returning to the camp, the Jonin and Uchiha Iori received a hero's welcome.

Originally, everyone was prepared to sacrifice themselves in the face of the Iwa ninja's offensive, but thanks to their efforts, Konoha suffered almost no casualties.

Although it is still wartime and celebrations are not convenient, the atmosphere in the camp is no longer as somber as before.

"Don't relax yet. Although we have defeated the vanguard of the Iwa ninja, it is still unknown when their reinforcements will arrive."

"We can celebrate after Jiraiya-sensei and his support team arrive."

Minato Namikaze began to maintain order. He was almost unharmed in the battle, and as the current supreme commander, he had to step in to maintain order.

Akimichi-do Higashi, Inuzuka Jacques, and Tsukiko Nobuhiko were all taken to the medical tent; they had all suffered serious injuries in the battle.

Iori was worried about Tsukikage Nobuhiko's injuries, so she followed him.

"It's nothing serious, the internal organs were just impacted."

"But the flesh in my abdomen was first gouged out, and then burned by fire jutsu, so I need to rest for a while," Nohara Rin said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Iori touched her nose sheepishly, knowing that she didn't know any medical ninjutsu and that this was the only way to stop the bleeding quickly.

Thinking of this, Iori suddenly remembered something, left the medical tent, and returned to her residence.

Valhalla, activated.

Chapter 12 'Every Flaw Should Be Repaired'

Upon arriving at the Hall of Heroes once again, Uchiha Iori went straight to Medea.

"Miss Medea, if I may ask, is your Noble Phantasm a healing type?" Iori asked somewhat shyly.

Heroic Spirits are a peculiar existence; the same person can manifest in multiple different forms within them.

The self in youth, the self in middle age, and the self in old age—each with different experiences and skills—are the same being.

It will appear in different states depending on the specific circumstances.

Depending on their actual appearance, the Noble Phantasms and skills possessed by a Heroic Spirit are all different.

According to legend, Medea was the daughter of Aeetes, King of Colchis of Greece.

She was the granddaughter of Helios, the sun god, and also a witch of Hecate, the goddess of magic.

Because of the goddess Aphrodite, Medea was cursed to "fall in love with Jason, the captain of the Argo."

When she fled abroad with Jason, she tried to trap her father's ship, which was pursuing them.

She personally committed the atrocities of dismembering her younger brother and scattering his remains into the sea, thus earning her the contemptible label of "witch."

In the Type-Moon universe, after Jason returned to his homeland, Medea used magic to kill Jason's uncle, who had seized the throne.

After Jason fell in love with someone else, she killed Jason's mistress and her two children, and drove away.

Although in the past anime, Medea appeared in the form of a young woman, and her Noble Phantasm was called "All Signs of Response and Breaking the Rules", which was a Noble Phantasm that was specifically designed to counter energy attacks.

However, in the game Fate/Grand Order, Medea (Lily), who appears in the world as a young girl, possesses a Noble Phantasm with powerful healing effects.

"Yes, Mr. Iori, please copy it if you need it. It would be great if it could be of any help."

Medea (Lily) smiled sweetly; Medea, still training in the Temple of Hecate, was not yet the betraying witch she would later become.

As a child, she was innocent and kind, and she had enthusiasm and trust for everyone.

"Thank you, Medea. Is there anything I can help you with? Please let me know if you do."

Iori said gratefully that the heroic spirits in Valhalla had helped him a lot, but had never asked him to repay them in any way.

Iori wanted to do something for them.

Medea (Lily) was slightly taken aback, then said happily, "If possible, please collect some recipes unique to this other world for me, especially desserts."

"Sweet snacks are a symbol of friendship. Because most people will stop being angry or sad after eating snacks."

"It's my pleasure to serve you, my lady."

Uchiha Iori performed a somewhat unorthodox European gesture, which amused Medea into giggling.

Then Iori hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Miss Medea, it is said that you also possess all the memories of your life. How do you feel about your later experiences?"

He had pondered his relationship with his past life, but found it meaningless; philosophical speculation offered no help in his current situation.

Medea (Lily) pondered for a moment, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

"Yeah, it's like watching a play. Even though I know it's my life and I understand it's my future, it doesn't feel real at all."

"To be honest, I never imagined I would become such a terrifying woman in the future."

Her voice carried a hint of sadness; as a young girl, she feared her future self and her future.

Iori had no way to answer this question; the past of the Heroic Spirits was already fixed.

After a long silence, Iori said to Medea:

"If one day I can pull people out of Valhalla, I hope to become your partner."

Medea (Lily) smiled, her eyes sparkling with hope. "Then I look forward to that day."

Iori greeted the other Heroic Spirits in the Hall of Heroes and hurriedly left to treat her teacher.

Medea (Lily) watched him leave, lost in memories.

-----------------

Back in the present world, Iori begins to recall the specific details of the Noble Phantasm.

Every flaw must be repaired.

Grade: C

Type: Anti-Magic Noble Phantasm

Pain Breaker. A healing artifact, the counterpart to Medea's "All-Encompassing Breaker" (used by the Caster Medea). It can reduce all damage caused by curses and magic to zero.

"Fix all flaws" is not a time-based operation, but rather an automatic repair function that calculates the original appearance.
