Chapter 43 The Final Battle (Part 1) (New book, please collect and recommend~)
"Qi-kun, you..."
"Don't worry, he's just unconscious from a Genjutsu. I know what you mean, and I know what the Village means, but we need to be quick. He has a Tailed Beast inside him."
Uchiha启 calmly looked at Minato Namikaze. He naturally guessed Minato Namikaze's thoughts, or rather, he was accommodating the Village's thoughts.
If they wanted to end the war and not give the Land of Earth another chance to start one, then naturally some people couldn't be killed, such as Kitsuchi, and such as the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.
Kitsuchi probably never dreamed that he had avoided Minato Namikaze's fatal blow, when in fact, Minato Namikaze just didn't want to kill him!
Although the Land of Earth was currently preoccupied, once certain individuals died, these Stone Ninja might become ticking time bombs.
Moreover, every great nation has relatively sufficient war potential. Since Konoha has already shown what it means to fight one against five, if the Land of Earth fought them with all its might, the Cloud Ninja would absolutely be happy, but Konoha would definitely suffer greatly.
Therefore, Uchiha启 completely understood Minato Namikaze's decision. Although for him it was better for enemies to die, following Minato Namikaze still required him to honestly listen to his arrangements.
As for Uchiha启's Genjutsu, it probably wouldn't last much longer. If Han was an ordinary Ninja, then Uchiha启's Genjutsu could keep him in this dazed state for a long time, even causing him to kill himself.
But he was a Jinchuriki, and with two different Chakras within him, he could break free from Genjutsu faster, even if it was a Sharingan Genjutsu.
It was true that Sharingan Genjutsu could Control Tailed Beasts, but the prerequisite for that was the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Uchiha启 indeed already had this foundation, but how many days had he had this Eye?
Firstly, he didn't dare to easily expose his Eye, and secondly, he hadn't properly studied his other abilities.
Uchiha启 had learned a bit about the innate Dojutsu, but after using that thing once, Uchiha启 became somewhat wary. He found that this Dojutsu's consumption was too terrifying for him; it wasn't just Chakra consumption, but a triple consumption of Eye Power and mental power!
Development and exploration are arduous processes, and familiarizing oneself with one's abilities is not an overnight task. Uchiha启 still had a long way to go.
Minato Namikaze couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing Uchiha启's words. Sure enough, this young man, who was the same age as Kakashi, was truly extraordinary, actually able to think about problems from the Village's perspective.
But why had he never heard of such a talent before?
Looking at Uchiha启's scarlet eyes, Minato Namikaze sighed. He understood what was going on.
Minato Namikaze truly had nothing to say about the Uchiha Clan's internal affairs, because it was their own business. However, such a family's actions did indeed bury many truly intelligent Ninja.
And that Clan...
Minato Namikaze shook his head. As Jiraiya's disciple and the leader of the Jonin class, Minato Namikaze naturally knew many things.
He was also somewhat uncomfortable about this matter, especially since his intelligence naturally told him what would happen if such a standoff continued.
"If I could become Hokage..." Minato Namikaze thought to himself, but this was just a thought. Although he had a chance in Konoha's political system, it would basically not be him.
"Captain Minato." Just as Minato Namikaze was sighing, Uchiha启 suddenly called out, "Do you want to take this guy back after completing the mission?"
"Take him back?" Minato Namikaze snapped out of it, glanced at Han, who was still in a daze, and pondered for a moment: "Good idea. This way, we'll have more leverage."
"Of course." Uchiha启 nodded. "By the way, where's Imai Kenta? Has he gone ahead already?"
Uchiha启 looked around. During the mission, the mission itself was naturally more important. Of course, the most important thing was that once this damn mission was completed, they could go back.
Although the future of the Hokage world was full of constant conflicts, and the internal struggles within Konoha had never truly subsided.
But a moment of peace would allow Uchiha启 to rest well and study his abilities, which was far better than endlessly hovering between life and death on the battlefield!
"He's already gone ahead. There are no signs of a fight for now." Minato Namikaze nodded. "But I'm afraid it's not optimistic, because I don't think—"
Minato Namikaze didn't finish his sentence. The next second, his expression suddenly turned serious. Even Uchiha启's expression couldn't help but become wary.
They turned their heads in unison. At this moment, although Han was still in a daze, a powerful, suffocating Chakra burst forth from him!
This was the power of a Tailed Beast. This power erupted so quickly that in the blink of an eye, Han's entire body was covered in red Chakra, and this Chakra began to swell, gradually taking on the form of a Tailed Beast!
Uchiha启 frowned. This situation was not what he had considered!
Sure enough, on the battlefield, to avoid all trouble, it was best to directly kill defeated enemies.
But it was inevitable that on the battlefield, sometimes you had to consider political issues. Sometimes, living people were indeed much more valuable than dead ones.
Uchiha启 sighed. His ninja blade was already ruined, so he could only take out his Kunai. However, he was considering whether to go back and get a ninja blade to use.
"It seems we have some trouble." Minato Namikaze sighed. "You go down first. No, other Stone Ninja are also surrounding us. I'm afraid we'll have to continue fighting."
"Ah, it might indeed be troublesome." Uchiha启 also sighed. "I hope Imai Kenta performs a little better. I don't know what the situation is like for him down there right now."
"I'm afraid he's also encountered some trouble now." Minato Namikaze frowned. "He's encountered an unknown opponent. I hope he won't have any problems."
"Sure enough, there are enemies under the bridge too." Uchiha启 nodded. "If it really doesn't work, should we go down together, forcefully complete the mission, and then leave?"
This was the last option, but also the riskiest. Once they exposed their backs, countless Ninjutsu and sharp Kunai would be waiting for them.
Their best option now was to hold off the Ninja above and wait for Imai Kenta's performance below. If that guy failed, then it would be big trouble, and Uchiha启 and the others would have to rush down themselves and detonate the bridge.
If he succeeded, then he would just need to run up and rendezvous with Uchiha启 and the others and leave here.
"Hmm, for now, this is all we can do. I hope he can complete the mission."
"Like before?"
"Yes, like before."
It feels strange. It's clearly stated that the protagonist doesn't want to expose his Mangekyo, and overuse would be fatal for him since he doesn't have a sibling.
Moreover, before fighting Kitsuchi, he used several Shadow Clones to deceive others, and his fight with Kitsuchi was already in an incomplete state.
After escaping, he didn't have time to rest and recover. He's deep behind enemy lines, big brother, do you think others would give him a chance to rest?
In an incomplete state, carelessly using Ninjutsu would lead to death, and the protagonist cherishes his life so much, would he waste it?
Finally, if everyone wants the protagonist to go all out, then let him do it once.
That's all.
