Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

Madara Uchiha took a deep breath and began to feel his body completely drained.

how to say……

When he ate that [Three Dragons Turn to Annihilation], his body was already close to its limit. It was only thanks to the tenacious fighting spirit of the older generation of Sengoku ninjas, coupled with the hope of victory that was "close at hand," that he managed to hold on and fight for a while longer.

I thought I could take advantage of Mikami Yu's weakened state and quickly end the battle, then return in triumph with Obito. I never expected to suffer another devastating blow so soon...

Madara Uchiha was now barely able to maintain his Susanoo, and could only use Wood Release chakra to press on his wounds to keep himself from collapsing, while raising his right hand and bringing his two fingers together: "I didn't want to use this technique here, but..."

"Let me show you what despair after hope really means!"

"Do you still have the ability to deal with a tailed beast that has gone berserk?"

As they were speaking,

Madara Uchiha suddenly exerted his power, his chakra surging: "Binding Technique, Release!!"

The so-called "curse binding technique" was the technique that Madara Uchiha used to temporarily seal the Three-Tails into Rin Nohara.

Compared to the "Four Symbols Seal" and the "Eight Trigrams Seal," this sealing technique is very rudimentary, and its effects often only last for a few hours before it risks going out of control at any time. However, this doesn't matter for Madara Uchiha's plan, since his goal is not to increase the number of Jinchuriki in Konoha.

And now,

Madara chose to accelerate the process, moving the stage play that was originally intended to be performed at the Konoha base ahead of schedule.

Madara Uchiha was already anticipating the expressions on Yu Mikami and the others' faces when they saw a tailed beast appear in the distant forest.

however……

"……Um?"

This feeling...

Something's not right!

Something's definitely not right!

Madara Uchiha's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly raised his head to look in the direction where Rin Nohara was.

Through layers of dense, overlapping trees, the person could not be seen.

However, Madara Uchiha could sense that after that hand seal, the spell he had placed on Rin Nohara did not seem to have loosened; instead, it was being blocked by another external force.

Looking around, Fugaku Uchiha, Kakashi, and Obito were all within sight. The only people supposed to be with Rin Nohara were Shisui and Hizashi Hyuga… Theoretically, Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan could indeed help suppress the Three-Tails, but the power just now was clearly not a genjutsu, but rather…

Sealing Technique!!

Could it be that……

A slightly absurd yet highly likely truth popped into Madara Uchiha's mind.

As if to confirm his guess,

Next second,

A gust of wind rustled, and a golden flash streaked silently across the sky.

A young man wearing a dark green Konoha Jonin vest, radiating an aura like a small sun, appeared in the area like lightning. He crouched down and landed about ten meters in front of Mikami Yu, holding a three-edged kunai engraved with the words "Sword of Shinobi Love".

He glanced around discreetly, then smiled and asked, "Am I late, Yu?"

"...It's not too late at all."

Yu Mikami curled the corners of his lips into a faint smile: "Just right."

Quiet.

Several seconds of silence followed.

Suddenly, Obito, who was not far away, jumped out of the pit where he had been hiding, and excitedly looked at the golden figure, shouting with surprise, "Minato-sensei?! Kakashi, look, it's Minato-sensei!"

"Wow, great! Minato-sensei is here, we're saved!"

"..."

Faced with Obito's animated gestures, the blond youth simply smiled, then turned his gaze to Mikami Yu and exchanged a glance with him.

That's right.

The person standing here right now is none other than Minato Namikaze!

And the reason he came here...

This was all orchestrated by Yu Mikami.

Back on the battlefield in Sunagakure, Minato Namikaze had given Yu Mikami and Kakashi a Flying Thunder God Kunai for support purposes. Although Yu Mikami never got to use it due to his sudden rise to prominence, the kunai remained with the two of them. It was initially kept by Kakashi and then handed over to Yu Mikami after he was promoted to Jonin.

The Flying Thunder God Kunai is essentially a displacement coordinate and does not have the function of transmitting messages.

Even if it existed, it wouldn't be effective given the distance of thousands of kilometers.

To break Madara Uchiha's trap, Minato Namikaze was the most suitable reinforcement. After all, there were very few people in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who could fight Madara Uchiha, and even fewer who were proficient in sealing techniques and capable of sealing tailed beasts. Excluding Kushina Uzumaki, who was under house arrest, Minato Namikaze was the only option.

and so……

Before setting off to rescue Nohara Rin, Mikami Yu had already created a shadow clone with 10% of its chakra, sending it to fly with the giant eagle to the Cloud Village battlefield to find Namikaze Minato, inform him of the general situation, and ask him to use "Flying Thunder God Technique" to come and provide support as soon as possible.

Given that the situation on the Hidden Cloud battlefield had basically stabilized, Minato Namikaze, upon learning of the situation, immediately informed Jiraiya and then secretly left the camp, traveling thousands of miles from the Land of Hot Springs to the Hidden Mist battlefield.

Previously, when he unleashed the "Unthinking Slash," Mikami Yu had already learned through the "Summoning Jutsu" that Namikaze Minato had arrived nearby.

However, the latter did not immediately come to the battlefield. Instead, he went to check on Nohara Rin's condition and placed another "Four Symbols Seal" on her. This is why Uchiha Madara was unable to release the Three-Tails.

Of course, this "Four Symbols Seal" alone is not enough to completely seal the tailed beast, but it is enough to temporarily stabilize Nohara Rin's condition and get rid of the risk of going berserk.

The rest can be dealt with slowly after the trouble is resolved.

after that,

Minato Namikaze used "Flying Thunder God" again and arrived at Yu Mikami's side.

The timing was perfect.

opposite.

Madara Uchiha's gaze, shifting between Yu Mikami and Minato Namikaze several times, swirled with conflicting emotions as his mind raced.

He was, after all, a seasoned veteran who had experienced countless battles. Although he was unaware of the situation beforehand, he was now able to piece together the whole story by working backward from the outcome.

But the more I think about it...

Madara Uchiha felt increasingly uneasy.

—Why does it feel like this guy in front of me has read the script beforehand, knows that he is Uchiha Madara, and plans to use the tailed beasts to his advantage?

Otherwise, how could he have made these targeted arrangements so far in advance? Even his plan to induce the Three-Tails to go berserk seemed to be within his expectations, so he just happened to summon Minato Namikaze, who could solve the problem... Is this really reasonable?

Could it be that this inherently evil white-haired old ghost, after being resurrected, dug up his grave in Konoha, investigated the information that "Uchiha Madara may have faked his death," and then connected it with Kirigakure's blood mist policy over the past few decades, thus deducing his connection with Kirigakure?

This guess is certainly far-fetched.

However, excluding the option of "Yu Mikami using cheat codes", this is the most logical explanation.

After all, Tobirama Senju was a man of deep cunning and shrewdness. After being ambushed and killed by the Gold and Silver Brothers using the Six Paths Tools, he would only become more cautious. It's not surprising that he would anticipate potential unexpected situations and make multiple preparations.

but……

In the current situation, none of these things really matter.

The crucial point is that the moment Minato Namikaze appeared, Madara Uchiha's plan had already completely failed. Moreover, it's likely that after today, the news that "Madara Uchiha is still alive" will quickly spread throughout Konoha and even the entire ninja world…

Perhaps it's time to start thinking about my future.

Madara Uchiha thought so.

……

"Speaking of which..."

Minato Namikaze carefully examined Madara Uchiha and said in a low voice, "This one, is this the Madara Uchiha you mentioned to me before? The ultimate eye technique of the Mangekyou Sharingan, Susanoo... So this is what it looks like? It really looks spectacular."

"Yes."

Yu Mikami nodded and replied in a low voice, "I was just guessing. I didn't expect him to actually be alive. It's unbelievable... Luckily you arrived in time, otherwise we would probably all be dead here."

"Oh."

Minato Namikaze chuckled: "You're still as humble as ever, Yu. To be able to fight to this extent against the 'Shura of the Ninja World,' who is on par with the First Hokage, your strength has probably surpassed mine. It's a pity that Jiraiya-sensei isn't here; I'm still not very good at dealing with opponents like this."

That's the truth.

Minato Namikaze is an assassin-type ninja, specializing in attacks against people, but relatively weak against tailed beasts and Susanoo. He is not as easy to fight as turret-type ninjas like Jiraiya and Onoki. Moreover, Jiraiya has the trump card of Sage Mode. If he can successfully activate it, he can probably be considered the strongest fighting force in Konoha at present.

but,

While he might not be good at it, Minato Namikaze wasn't without ways to deal with a real fight. For example...

"Spiritual communication!"

Minato Namikaze bit his thumb, slammed it to the ground, and Gamabunta's figure appeared in the smoke, shoving him and Yu Mikami into the air, several meters high: "Brother Gamabunta, thank you for your help. This enemy might be a little tricky..."

"?"

Gamabunta stared at the towering Susanoo opposite him, and his entire body went numb.

Not a buddy...

I'm going to fight Madara Uchiha? Really?

Are you perhaps planning to kill me under the guise of this opportunity and then inherit my estate at Mount Myoboku?

Minato Namikaze ignored Gamabunta, then pulled a handful of Flying Thunder God kunai from his ninja tool pouch and hurled them in various directions, landing on the ground, trees, rocks, and other surfaces. While doing this, he explained a few words to Yu Mikami beside him:

"I've recently developed a few new techniques and tested them a few times on the Cloud Village battlefield. I wonder how they'll fare for Lord Uchiha Madara... Anyway, let's give them a try."

Chapter 306: We must think of a more vicious word than "birth" to describe Tobirama Senju!

The moment Minato Namikaze arrived at the scene, the outcome of this battle was no longer in doubt.

After all, before he arrived, Mikami Yu had already reduced Madara's clone to a sliver of health; the only problem was dealing with the Three-Tails inside Nohara Rin's body.

Now that Lin's condition has stabilized, there's nothing to worry about. All that's left is some finishing touches.

Gamabunta was unaware of these inside details.

Having finally mustered the courage to confront Madara Uchiha with a death wish, it unleashed its strongest technique, the "Toad Short Sword Slash." After only a few strikes, Madara's Susanoo began to crumble and disintegrate, and Madara himself plummeted to the ground amidst the whirlwind of the sword.

"...Huh?"

"Wow, I'm this strong now? Even Madara Uchiha is no match for me?"

Wen Tai was a little confused, and then he was overjoyed.

That's Madara Uchiha!

He was someone who could control the Nine-Tails with just a glance and suppress the entire ninja world alongside Hashirama Senju!

But now it has shattered Susanoo with a single blow.

Whatever the objective reasons that led to this scene, it doesn't affect the fact that Bunta now has something to brag about. The next time he sees other toads, or that stinky snake in Ryuchi Cave, he can give them a good thrashing.

Thinking of this, the resentment that had been inexplicably channeled into Gamabunta's stomach vanished completely: He hadn't expected Minato to be such an honest person after all, genuinely thinking of him when good things came his way…

next to.

Minato Namikaze didn't care about Gamabunta's thoughts. At the same time as Gamabunta slashed out, he used a Body Flicker Technique to jump down from the toad's head and attack Madara Uchiha, slapping the Rasengan he had just made onto Madara's face: "Rasengan!!"

……

Cold, shivering.

Inside an underground cave near the Hidden Mountain base, Madara Uchiha, who had lost control of his character, opened his eyes once more, his expression becoming somewhat uncertain.

There's nothing else I can do.

Madara Uchiha was truly on the verge of a breakdown.

Originally, Madara intended to educate the younger generation by attacking Mikami Yu's group. He thought he could easily end the battle with his overwhelming strength, then bring Obito back to brainwash him, and then pull the plug, waiting for the "Eye of the Moon Plan" to advance to the stage he wanted...

As a result, he was killed twice in one night.

The stark contrast between the plan and reality made Ban feel embarrassed, and he even wanted to swear on the spot.

However, Madara Uchiha was, after all, the patriarch of a powerful clan with a thousand-year history; his status was undeniable, and he couldn't afford to act too rudely. Moreover… as he became agitated, Madara felt a sharp pain in the wound on his chest, and the wound on his palm showed signs of reopening.

—The effect of that slash just now was also reflected in his body, but it wasn't enough to kill him.
