At that moment, a cheer came from within the barrier, and Akimichi Tou couldn't help but turn his head to look.
"My hands!" "My feet!"
Several ninjas who had lost limbs in the battle shouted excitedly as their hands and feet were restored under the golden light, as if time had reversed.
Their faces were filled with uncontrollable joy and excitement. After losing their hands and feet, they thought that their only option was to retire, and that the rest of their lives would be very difficult.
But thanks to Iori's treatment, their hands and feet miraculously grew back, as if they had been given a new life.
"Can it even cure physical disabilities? Is this really something medical ninjutsu can do?"
Akimichi Tou looked at the scene before him in shock. This was beyond his imagination. He had never seen or even heard of such a method before.
Thanks to the combined efforts of Iori and everyone else, Konoha suffered almost no casualties after the battle. Even those warriors who were on the verge of death or had physical disabilities recovered their health under Iori's treatment.
The ninjas who had been seriously injured or crippled were slowly gathering around Iori, filled with the joy of rebirth and deep gratitude.
Their eyes were filled with gratitude. They bowed deeply to Iori, thanking her for saving them and giving them a new lease on life.
"If you need anything, please feel free to send us," the people said.
Iori nodded, accepting their loyalty. As the war progressed, the number of ninjas who had benefited from Iori's kindness increased rapidly, and Iori's tentacles were slowly infiltrating every corner of Konoha.
Chapter 110 The End of the Kannabi Bridge
I wonder how Jiraiya and the others are doing. I hope they can hold on.
Minato Namikaze was filled with worry as he rushed toward the battlefield of Iwa ninja.
The series of battles had depleted Minato's chakra reserves, and in order to maintain sufficient fighting power upon arriving at the battlefield, Minato dared not use the Flying Thunder God Technique too often.
Now, Minato only has two ninjas left by his side: Kakashi Hatake and Rin Nohara.
Kakashi's eye has already transformed into a Sharingan, and without Iori's personal intervention, the Kannabi Bridge arc continues to unfold according to Madara Uchiha's script.
Obito Uchiha awakened his Sharingan in adversity, and with his emotions and will, he helped Kakashi overcome the trauma of his past.
It helped him overcome the shadow left by his father's death and allowed him to accept others again.
However, he was pinned to the ground by the Iwa ninja's ninjutsu, leaving him with only one eye, which he gave to Kakashi.
"Kakashi, how are your eyes feeling?" Rin asked as she ran closer to Kakashi.
It was also her first time undergoing Sharingan eye transplant surgery, and she was filled with anxiety, only able to ask Kakashi how he felt during breaks in their activities.
Kakashi reached out and touched the eye, then said firmly to Rin, "I'm fine. This is Obito's last gift. Wearing it makes me feel like Obito is still by my side and hasn't left."
A flicker of hesitation crossed Minato's eyes as his gaze remained fixed on Kakashi.
In his perception, Kakashi's Sharingan was like a deep black hole, constantly devouring his chakra.
“The Uchiha clan will definitely not want their members’ eyes to be out of the public eye. If you insist on keeping them, you will face a lot of pressure.”
"Besides, the Sharingan might not be a good thing for you. Do you really want to keep it?"
Minato asked hesitantly.
"Minato-sensei, please, this is Obito's keepsake. I want him to stay with me."
Kakashi looked at Minato with a determined gaze, his tone pleading. This eye meant a great deal to him, and he didn't want to lose it.
Looking at Kakashi's resolute face, Minato had a thousand words in his heart, but in the end, they all turned into a sigh.
"Alright then, no matter what happens, I'll support you."
Minato knew this decision could cause huge trouble, but he also knew that as a teacher, he had to stand by his students.
"Thank you, Minato-sensei." Kakashi's face showed a touch of emotion after hearing Minato's words.
He knew that bloodline limits, as the foundation of the ninja clan, were absolutely not allowed to be leaked.
If anyone tries to covet one's bloodline, it's like a declaration of war—a fight to the death.
Minato says he'll support him now, but who knows what price he'll have to pay to save that eye.
"Alright, let's stop and rest for a bit. The battlefield is just ahead. I'll charge straight in. You guys prepare to provide support from the sidelines. If there's an opportunity, get into Konoha's lines. Understand?"
Minato suddenly reached out and stopped the two of them while they were speeding.
The battlefield was just ahead, but he wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he started to plan his tactics.
After resting, Minato took the lead and ran towards the battlefield, his trident kunai ready to be thrown at any moment.
Kakashi, with Rin by his side, kept a distance from Minato and followed closely behind him.
However, as the water gate approached the battlefield, a sense of unease welled up in his heart.
The clamor of the battlefield had subsided, replaced by an unsettling stillness; the battle seemed to have come to an end.
Seeing this, Minato's heart pounded faster and faster. He was filled with anxiety and worry, and he was very afraid that Konoha would be the loser.
When he finally arrived at the battlefield, the Iwa ninja had already retreated to their camp, and the Konoha ninja were cleaning up the battlefield in preparation for their return.
When the water gate arrived and he saw the scene in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
If Konoha had been defeated, the ninjas cleaning up the battlefield wouldn't have had such peaceful expressions.
He teleported in front of a ninja and asked urgently, "Is the battle over? Did we win? Were our losses severe?"
His questions came like a machine gun, raining down on the ninja opposite him.
Upon seeing Minato, the ninja hurriedly replied, "We've won! Lord Uchiha Iori has come from the village to support us."
"He killed the Four-Tails and forced the Iwa ninja to surrender. Now, Lord Jiraiya is negotiating with the Tsuchikage regarding the surrender."
Upon hearing this, Minato's eyes flashed with surprise. He had never expected that Iori, who had gone to the Land of Wind to provide support, would appear on the battlefield of the Land of Earth.
Kakashi and Rin, realizing the battle was over, quickly caught up and found Minato. After the three reunited, Minato planned to report the mission's progress to Jiraiya first.
Although the mission may have lost its meaning now, the procedures must be followed as a sign of respect for the comrades who sacrificed their lives for it.
On his way to report to Jiraiya, Minato said to Kakashi:
"Let's seek Iori's support first. He's probably the strongest Uchiha right now. With his support, your chances of keeping the Sharingan will be much higher."
"But would Iori-senpai be willing to help me? As an Uchiha, he should also value his bloodline limit, right?"
Kakashi said hesitantly, his heart filled with worry.
Iori's relationship with them can only be considered a friendship, and he might not be willing to support such a thing.
Minato gently patted Kakashi on the shoulder, offering him encouragement and support.
"No matter the outcome, we have to try. Iori-kun is a good person; he will understand your choice."
Minato's voice carried a hint of determination. He understood the Uchiha's current predicament and also had the desire to change the relationship between the two sides after he took power.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he planned to have a good talk with Iori about the Fourth Hokage.
After Obito's death, the connection between Minato and the Uchiha clan was severed. Given Minato's determination to protect Kakashi at all costs, it was difficult for their relationship to remain unaffected.
After all, this involves the issue of the clan's bloodline flowing out, and any small decision could trigger the Uchiha clan's nerves.
Therefore, Minato planned to extend an olive branch to Iori, bringing him into his camp to eliminate the influence brought by Kakashi.
However, Minato is still unaware of what happened in the Land of Wind, and he still views Iori through the lens of the past.
In his heart, Iori was still that young ninja who had just grown up, powerful but lacking in prestige.
In reality, Iori is already Minato's biggest competitor.
Chapter 111 The Fourth Hokage and the Fifth Hokage
Upon entering the camp, Minato remained silent as he looked at the bustling scene before him.
The ninjas of Konoha had begun celebrating their victory in the war. They sat around the campfire, sharing their experiences in battle, raising their glasses to toast their survival and triumph.
Minato didn't stop. He walked through the jubilant crowd and headed straight for the combat tent, where he found Jiraiya.
Seeing Minato's travel-worn appearance, Jiraiya's eyes flashed with concern as he asked, "Are you alright? Was the operation at Kannabi Bridge a success?"
"Success! We successfully blew up the Kannabi Bridge and destroyed the Iwa ninja's supply line."
Shuimen's voice carried a hint of weariness; the long journey and the pain of the students' deaths were becoming unbearable for him.
"Obito sacrificed himself on the battlefield, leaving one of his eyes to Kakashi."
Minato pointed at Kakashi's Sharingan and said.
"The Sharingan? That's a bit tricky. Although the Uchiha clan isn't as wary of the outflow of their bloodline as the Hyuga clan, they will still demand that the person return to the clan and change their surname to Uchiha if there are any signs of it."
Jiraiya looked at Kakashi and sensed the difficulty of the problem, but seeing the determination in Kakashi's eyes, he knew that he would not choose to compromise.
"Why don't you go find Iori-kun first? He should have a very important position in the Uchiha clan now. With his support, you will have a chance."
Jiraiya shared a similar view with Minato, believing that it was precisely because of his good relationship with Iori that it would be easier to find a breakthrough through him.
Minato asked Jiraiya for Iori's location, then took his leave and headed towards Iori's location with Kakashi and Rin.
At this moment, Iori was collecting body samples from three friends, as the resurrection of the ninth-ring spell Stasis Cloning required their clones to be released.
Iori is currently extracting their body tissues, preparing to cultivate their clones in the laboratory as tools for resurrection.
After collecting body samples from his three friends, Iori was preparing to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to Konoha when he noticed Minato walking towards him.
Minato's face was etched with exhaustion and worry, but a hint of determination shone in his eyes, as if he had made up his mind.
Seeing that only three people remained in the team, Iori narrowed his eyes, a complex emotion flashing through his mind.
It seems Madara has succeeded; Obito is probably already in his hideout.
[The lead actor for the Nine-Tailed Night is about to be in place. Hopefully, Minato can step up his game and not let us down.]
Iori thought to himself that the talisman he gave him when he left had no effect at all, which meant that Madara had most likely sent out Black and White Zetsu as the director.
To ensure that Obito can act according to their plan.
“Iori-kun, I’ve come here to ask you for a favor,” Minato said, looking at Iori.
“Please speak,” Iori replied, a hint of understanding in his eyes. He had already guessed Minato’s purpose, which was probably about Kakashi’s Sharingan.
The original work vaguely states that the Uchiha clan ultimately agreed not to take Kakashi's Sharingan.
Iori felt that partly it was out of consideration for the future Fourth Hokage, as Fugaku was actively courting Minato at the time and naturally wouldn't easily disagree.
