March, early spring.

In an uninhabited hilly area of ​​the Country of Grass, the final decisive battle between Konoha and Iwagakure began.

Having lost a large amount of supplies, Iwagakure made a desperate plan.

Facing Iwagakure's unconcealed general attack, the Konoha troops of the Land of Grass naturally had no choice but to go up and fight.

Probably Iwagakure also saw that after the rise of the yellow flash wave Feng Minato, the strategy of delaying time with Konoha was undoubtedly an extremely stupid strategy.

That's why I want to decide the outcome with Konoha in one breath at this time.

On the day of the battle, the clear sky was obscured by dark clouds, and rumbles of explosions came from the battlefield.

The release of ninjutsu caused the earth to crack, fire and water attacks intertwined, and wind and thunder wreaked havoc on the battlefield.

On the fierce battlefield, a golden light penetrated deep into the core of Iwagakure's troops, causing chaos there.

When many Konoha ninjas pass by, the battle is often over.

When people saw that light, they already understood that it was a personal battle belonging to someone.

Under that extremely exaggerated speed, any defense seemed weak and ridiculous.

Even the Iwagakure ninjas did not expect that a yellow flash that could only bring a slight threat at the beginning would become a serious problem for Iwagakure today.

Their combined earth escape strategy was unable to cope with the yellow flashing space-time ninjutsu.

That is already a speed in the inhuman realm.

In the eyes of the Iwagakure ninjas, Yellow Flash is undoubtedly the fastest ninja in the world.

The battle lasted for a long time and ended with the complete defeat of the Iwagakure ninjas.

Corpses, corpses, corpses, corpses everywhere you look.

Iwagakure's bloodstained ninja Bakudushiri was also killed in the battle, and his life was harvested by the yellow flash Namikaze Minato.

On the battlefield, the yellow flash is a ruthless killing god to the Iwagakure ninjas.

Wherever the golden light shines, death is certain.

◎

The day after the battle, both Konoha and Iwagakure were counting the battle losses.

As the victor, Konoha had fewer casualties than Iwagakure. And one of the statistics is shocking, that is, nearly two-thirds of the approximately 1,500 Iwagakure ninjas who died in this battle

He died at the hands of yellow flash.

The fatal wound made by the special kunai, and the obvious mark made by the rasengan.

This data is extremely shocking.

Even the Konoha ninja who was responsible for statistics was amazed at Minato's strength. Unknowingly, he had grown to become one of the top ninjas in Konoha.

The rumor that he is stronger than the Sannin may not be groundless.

After the battle, Minato was unscathed, only his clothes were stained with some dust, and his physical strength and chakra were somewhat depleted. It was obvious that he could continue to fight.

If the Iwagakure ninjas hadn't retreated in time, I'm afraid...

Even if the Konoha ninja calculated this answer himself, he still felt that it was not a record that a young man in his twenties could achieve.

"Watergate has important flaws."

Nara Shikaku said to his friends Choza Akimichi and Kaiichi Yamanaka.

There were only three of them in the simple tent.

Shikaku walked in from the outside and said this as soon as he came in, looking quite cautious.

Both Ding Zao and Hai Yi looked at Shikaku in confusion.

This time in the battle with Iwagakure, thanks to Minato's power, we were able to achieve a complete victory. As a ninja, this was perfect.

Why does Shikaku say that Minato is flawed?

"I just went to count Minato's results on the battlefield in the past few years."

"What's the problem? I don't think that's a false record."

Dingzuo said this.

Shikaku shook his head and sighed in distress: "It's not that the results are false, but that they are too real to be called a flaw. The current Minato reminds me of Sakumo Kame who committed suicide a few years ago.

Tolerate."

Ding Zuo and Haiyi's expressions changed.

Hatake Sakumo is one of the few taboo names in Konoha that cannot be mentioned.

Not only himself, but also the names of the other three members of the former White Fang team were deliberately erased from Konoha.

Although many people remember it, senior officials have already ordered to downplay this matter.

"Shikaku, to put it simply, why did you mention Sakumo Jounin?"

Haiyi asked confused.

Shikaku replied: "Because Minato and Sakumo jounin are very similar. They are both very mobile ninjas. One person is equivalent to an army."

"It is not good?"

"It's good to a certain extent. But Sakumo Jōnin is so powerful and was once one of the candidates for the Fourth Hokage, but the biggest problem is... he doesn't have a team."

This is a bit rebellious.

But Hatake Sakumo committed suicide, and the top management suppressed all kinds of negative public opinion with an absolute advantage. It also confirmed that Hatake Sakumo had a huge reputation in Konoha, but he did not have his own team of cronies and did not have real power, so that incident

At the end of the incident, the thunder was loud and the rain was light.

"You mean..."

"I have also speculated before about why Minato is so good, but his team is very weak. Through Minato's outstanding performance on the battlefield here, and comparing his past record with Sakumo Jounin, I found the common ground.

"

"What do they have in common?"

"One man stage."

Shikaku looked serious.

Single stage? Ding Zuo and Haiyi seem to understand but not realize it.

"They have strong raiding capabilities, and one person is the strength of an army, which is equivalent to giving up the assistance of other ninjas. They can complete the task alone. Previously, we and Kakashi only raided the Iwagakure supply point.

Responsible for blowing up the Kannabi Bridge and attracting Iwagakure's attention, Minato raided all Iwagakure's supply points by himself and completed the task perfectly."

In that mission, to be honest, Shikaku didn't feel that he had any sense of participation. The whole process was like watching a show.

With Minato's strength, one person can do a great job.

It's not that Shikaku belittles his abilities, it's just the fact.

Minato's personal light was too dazzling.

Being unsociable and outstanding is also a kind of tragedy.

"If you are too good, you will put pressure on your peers. At the same time, if one person completes the task, his peers will appear incompetent. Minato may be able to gain huge fame by relying on his own strength, but this kind of fame is like a castle in the air. It seems that his status is very low."

"High, but when it comes to actually participating in village affairs, reputation without real power is meaningless."

Once such a person becomes Hokage, he will definitely be a puppet.

Ding Zao and Hai had complicated expressions on their faces, understanding what Shikaku meant.

At the beginning, Hatake Sakumo only needed three team members to form the invincible White Fang team.

However, Minato, who is a yellow flash, is more thorough than the White Fang team and is truly a one-man army.

Because no one can keep up with his movements.

The ninjas who teamed up with him could only feel that their existence was redundant and incompetent.

In the two major actions that changed the disadvantage of Konoha in the Land of Grass, Minato deservedly took the lead.

However, every move he makes is like a one-man performance on stage.

People will be admired and impressed by his strength, but they will not have any further sense of identification with him.

At least most of them couldn't agree more with Minato.

At best, he is just the second Konoha White Fang.

"Minato stands too high, so high that many people can only look up and respect him, but cannot touch him because it will hurt themselves."

Lu Jiu smiled bitterly.

He never thought that Minato had such a flaw.

If you want to become the Hokage in the village, fame and strength are on the one hand, but leadership skills are also very important.

In most of Minato's actions, one person ends the battle alone.
To be continued...
