"What do you want?"
After glancing back slightly and receiving Yukina and Kushina's despondent shakes of the head, Minato Namikaze slowly raised his head. Looking at the figure wearing a cold sneer within that flame-like mass of Chakra, he spoke word by word.
There was no way back now.
At the same time, as he looked at Uchiha Nobuhiko before him, Minato Namikaze's heart sank to the bottom. A battle was unavoidable.
"Uchiha Nobuhiko, an S-rank wanted criminal and traitor to the Uchiha Clan. He possesses a Mangekyō Sharingan similar to Hirohiko's, possibly an even more advanced form. It appears to lack the side effects of Hirohiko's Mangekyō Sharingan, and he can use a higher-level defensive ocular technique. That flame-like mass of Chakra around him should possess nearly absolute defensive power. It can withstand Yukina's attacks, so ordinary ninjutsu, including my Rasengan, likely cannot break through it. In the coming battle, we will not only lose the initiative—we may lose our lives as well."
As his heart sank, after loudly questioning Uchiha Nobuhiko, Minato Namikaze quietly conveyed information about the enemy before them to those behind him with a solemn expression. At the same time, he clearly and concisely explained their current situation.
Over this period of observation, Minato Namikaze had indeed grasped quite a bit of the other party's strength. However, the more he understood that strength and formulated various plans, the more he realized that they seemed powerless.
Even Yukina's special Gentle Fist, which possessed the greatest destructive and penetrating power against defenses here, could not damage Uchiha Nobuhiko's defensive ocular technique. Their strongest offensive methods likely could not break through that defense either.
In other words, the enemy might be invincible against them.
And judging by how Uchiha Nobuhiko used those Black Flames more skillfully than Hirohiko,
