"It's over..."

He pulled out his blood-soaked right arm and Qingye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Kitsuchi was dealt with, so there shouldn't be any more troublesome opponents.

Below, seeing Kitsuchi's fate unknown, the Iwagakure Ninja completely lost their will to fight and began to flee in all directions.

Swish!

Below, with a flash of golden light, Minato Namikaze finally arrived beside Kakashi.

He looked around the battlefield, which resembled purgatory, then suddenly sensed another Flying Thunder God Technique marker nearby. He looked up towards the dirt mountain.

"Uchiha Qingye!"

Minato Namikaze's expression was one of surprise.

Below were Kakashi, Rin, and the others, while above was Uchiha Qingye alone. The answer was obvious:

The terrifying commotion on this battlefield had indeed been caused by this young man, who was about the same age as Kakashi.

Without time for further reflection, Minato Namikaze immediately took a headcount.

Kakashi, Rin, and the Ino-Shika-Cho squad were missing, but all three members of Qingye's squad were present.

"Where is Obito?"

Seeing the injuries on Kakashi's face, Minato Namikaze felt a bad premonition.

Seeing Kakashi lower his head, Minato Namikaze sighed inwardly.

"We'll talk about it later. I'll take you back first."

Having them hold hands, Minato Namikaze placed his hand on Kakashi's shoulder and, with a flash, appeared beside Qingye on the mountaintop.

"Qingye, let's go!"

His vision flickered again and again.

This was accompanied by a dizzying sensation, as if he were carsick.

After activating the Flying Thunder God Technique over a dozen times, Minato Namikaze also found the Ino-Shika-Cho squad, who were still within the Land of Grass, and brought them along. A total of nine people returned to the Konohagakure camp.

"Phew... it's finally over."

Yamanaka Santen collapsed on the ground, his face deathly pale.

This was undoubtedly the craziest mission he had ever experienced in his life.

Kakashi, Hyuga Himon, Akimichi Dōtō, Nara Shiosui, and the others were in similar states, either injured or exhausted from depleted Chakra.

Now that they had returned to the Konohagakure camp, they could finally relax.

"Thank you all for your hard work this time. You are all heroes of Konohagakure."

Minato Namikaze praised them, then suddenly noticed that Qingye had brought someone else with him. Upon closer inspection, it was Kitsuchi!

He had seen Kitsuchi lying on the ground, his fate unknown, and had assumed he was dead.

Qingye had even brought Kitsuchi back?

Minato Namikaze stepped forward and crouched down, reaching out to feel for a pulse. He found that Kitsuchi still had a faint breath and quickly called out for a Medical Ninja, "Quickly take Kitsuchi for treatment and do your best to save his life!"

With Kitsuchi as a hostage, future peace talks with Iwagakure would be easier.

Qingye watched as Kitsuchi was carried away, but he didn't stop them.

Now he couldn't go to the underground exchange market to fulfill Kitsuchi's wish of donating his body.

However, after the war ended, if the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki of Iwagakure wanted to ransom his son back, he would definitely have to pay a ransom to Konohagakure.

Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi, that old geezer, was useless, he wouldn't return Kitsuchi to Iwagakure without getting a single cent, right?

...Probably not?

"Right, Jonin Minato!"

Qingye reminded him as a precaution, "Perhaps you could use your Flying Thunder God Technique to leave a mark on Kitsuchi. This way, if there's a conflict with Iwagakure in the future, it could serve as a deterrent."

"Certainly, no problem!"

Minato Namikaze's eyes lit up slightly.

This kind of opportunity to capture an important figure from an enemy village was rare, and he had never experienced it before.

Perhaps with this, future wars with Iwagakure could be avoided.

Qingye added, "It's best to mark it discreetly, so they don't discover it."

The Flying Thunder God Technique markers could not be removed.

However, if they were to remove the corresponding skin, perhaps that could eliminate the Flying Thunder God Technique marker? One had to be cautious!

Or perhaps mark a spot where even if they discovered the Flying Thunder God Technique marker, they wouldn't dare to make a move?

For example...

Minato Namikaze watched Qingye's gaze sweep up and down his body, his eyes gradually drifting towards the space between his legs, and a chill ran down his spine.

This, this, this is a bit too much, isn't it?

The method is too vicious!

For both Kitsuchi and himself!

Marking the Flying Thunder God Technique on that kind of place... The Flying Thunder God Technique requires him to physically press it onto the corresponding spot to mark it!

"Ahem, I will seriously consider this matter."

Minato Namikaze quickly stopped Qingye's bold idea. After thinking for a moment, he suggested, "Perhaps we can take the opportunity of Kitsuchi's surgery to mark the Flying Thunder God Technique inside his body?"

This way, it would be absolutely impossible to discover!

And it wouldn't be so disgusting...

"...Brilliant!"

Qingye couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

With this, Kitsuchi would likely be crippled in the future.

The Ino-Shika-Cho squad each followed a Medical Ninja to check their injuries.

Nohara Rin also urged Kakashi to hurry to the camp infirmary with her for a detailed check-up.

"I only have superficial injuries, but Obito..."

Kakashi sighed.

Earlier, he had sensed the stealth attack from an Iwagakure Jonin and pushed Obito away, resulting in his left eye being cut.

As a result, after Obito activated his dual-Sharingan to kill the stealthy Iwagakure Jonin, he quickly returned the favor for that push.

Kakashi, who had lost an eye and couldn't react in time, became Obito's burden!

Facing an attack from another Iwagakure Jonin, Kakashi, who had lost an eye and couldn't react in time, was desperately pushed away by Obito. He could only watch helplessly as Obito was buried under the rubble.

"Is that so..."

Minato Namikaze sighed. Even though he was accustomed to life and death on the battlefield, he couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion at this moment. "I will go and retrieve Obito's body later and bring it back to Konohagakure for burial."

"I'll go with you, Teacher Minato!" Kakashi clenched his fist.

It was Obito who helped him out of his confusion after his father's death. He couldn't let Obito be buried in a foreign land like this.

"I'll go too!"

Nohara Rin still found it hard to believe. A classmate for four years at the Ninja Academy, a teammate for three years after graduation, that always optimistic and cheerful Obito had died just like that.

"Yes, we'll go together then."

Minato Namikaze said, looking at Kakashi's left eye. "But we'll wait until your injuries have healed, Kakashi. As for your left eye, we can see if there are any replacement eyes available when we return to Konohagakure."

"No problem." Kakashi nodded.

Losing an eye had a huge impact on his strength.

"...Wait!"

Qingye, who was still not back in his own tent, heard this and suddenly froze. He focused on the bandage covering Kakashi's left eye.

Isn't this conversation a bit off?

"You just said, you're going back to get a replacement eye?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Kakashi was confused.

Isn't this kind of thing normal?

Qingye remained silent, a thunderclap of realization striking his mind.

If Kakashi was going back to get a replacement eye, that would mean that what was under Kakashi's left eye bandage was his original eye, not a Sharingan?

So, does that mean Uchiha Obito now has a complete pair of Sharingan?!
