"It's over..."
Please provide the text you would like me to translate and revise.
Pulling out his blood-soaked right arm, Qingye finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Kitsuchi had been dealt with. There shouldn't be any more troublesome opponents.
The Iwagakure Ninja below had seen Kitsuchi left either dead or alive, and had completely lost their will to fight. They began scattering in all directions.
Whoosh!
A flash of golden light appeared below. Minato Namikaze had finally reached Kakashi's side.
He looked around at the hellish battlefield, then suddenly sensed another Flying Thunder God Formula nearby. He raised his head and looked toward the top of the earthen hill.
"Uchiha Aoya!"
Minato Namikaze looked astonished.
Kakashi, Rin, and the others were below, while Uchiha Aoya was alone above. The answer couldn't have been clearer:
The terrifying commotion on this battlefield had indeed been caused by a boy about the same age as Kakashi.
Without time to dwell on it, Minato Namikaze immediately took a head count.
Kakashi and Rin were there. The Ino-Shika-Cho squad wasn't. All three members of Qingye's squad were present.
"Where's Obito?"
Minato Namikaze saw the injury on Kakashi's face and felt a knot of dread tighten in his chest.
When Kakashi lowered his head, Minato Namikaze sighed inwardly.
"We'll talk about it later. I'll take you back first."
He had them join hands, then placed a hand on Kakashi's shoulder. In a flash, they were beside Qingye at the top of the earthen hill.
"Qingye, we can go!"
The view before his eyes shifted again and again.
A dizzying sensation, like motion sickness, came with it.
After using the Flying Thunder God Technique more than a dozen times in a row, Minato Namikaze also found the Ino-Shika-Cho squad still inside the Land of Grass. He brought them along, and the nine of them returned to the Konoha camp.
"Whew... It's finally over."
Yamanaka Santen collapsed to the ground, his face pale.
It was undoubtedly the craziest mission he'd ever experienced.
Kakashi, Hyuga Himon, Akimichi Dōtō, Nara Shiosui, and the others were in much the same state, either injured or drained of Chakra and too exhausted to move.
Now that they were back at the Konoha camp, they could finally relax.
"You've all worked hard. You're all heroes of Konoha."
Minato Namikaze praised them, then noticed that Qingye had brought someone back with him. He took a closer look and realized it was Kitsuchi!
He'd seen Kitsuchi lying on the ground earlier, seemingly dead.
Had Qingye brought back even Kitsuchi?
Minato Namikaze went over and crouched down. He checked Kitsuchi's pulse and found that he still had a faint breath. He hurriedly called out to a Medical Ninja: "Take Kitsuchi for treatment immediately! Do everything you can to keep him alive!"
With Kitsuchi as a hostage, negotiations with Iwagakure would be much easier.
Qingye watched as they carried Kitsuchi away, but didn't stop them.
So much for helping Kitsuchi complete his bodily donation at the Underground Bounty Brokerage.
Still, once the war was over, if Ōnoki, the Third Tsuchikage, wanted to buy his son back, Iwagakure would surely have to pay Konoha a ransom.
Even if that useless old geezer Hiruzen Sarutobi was involved, he wouldn't return Kitsuchi to Iwagakure for free, would he?
...He wouldn't, right?
"By the way, Minato-senpai!"
To be safe, Qingye offered a reminder. "You could use your Flying Thunder God Technique to mark Kitsuchi. Then, if we ever clash with Iwagakure again, it'd be a good way to keep them in check."
"Sure, no problem!"
Minato Namikaze's eyes lit up.
The chance to capture an important figure from another village alive was rare. He'd never had one before.
Perhaps they could use this to avert a war with Iwagakure down the line.
Qingye added, "It'd be best to place the mark somewhere discreet, so they don't discover it."
The Flying Thunder God Formula couldn't be erased.
But if the corresponding patch of skin was removed, maybe that would get rid of the formula? Better not to take chances!
Or perhaps they could put the mark somewhere that Kitsuchi wouldn't dare let anyone cut into, even if he discovered the Flying Thunder God Formula?
For instance...
Minato Namikaze watched Qingye's gaze roam over him, slowly drifting toward the space between his legs. He shuddered.
Th-that's a bit much, isn't it?
That was far too vicious!
For both Kitsuchi and himself!
Placing the Flying Thunder God Formula there... Minato Namikaze would have to press the mark onto that exact spot with his own hand!
"Ahem. I'll give it some serious thought."
Minato Namikaze quickly put a stop to Qingye's outrageous idea. After thinking it over, he suggested, "Maybe I could use Kitsuchi's surgery to place the Flying Thunder God Formula inside his body?"
There'd be no way to find it!
And it wouldn't be so disgusting...
"...Brilliant!"
Qingye couldn't help giving him a thumbs-up.
This would probably ruin Kitsuchi for good.
The Ino-Shika-Cho squad members followed Medical Ninjas away to have their injuries checked.
Nohara Rin also urged Kakashi to hurry to the camp's infirmary for a thorough examination.
"I only have an external injury. But Obito..."
Kakashi sighed.
Earlier, he'd sensed an Iwagakure Jonin's invisible attack in time and shoved Obito aside, only to have his own left eye slashed.
After awakening his Two-Tomoe Sharingan and killing the invisible Iwagakure Jonin, Obito had quickly repaid Kakashi for shoving him away.
With one eye blinded, Kakashi had become a burden to Obito instead!
When another Iwagakure Jonin attacked, Kakashi couldn't react in time with one eye gone. Obito shoved him out of the way with all his strength, and Kakashi could only watch as Obito was buried beneath the rubble.
"I see..."
Minato Namikaze sighed. Even he, who had seen death countless times on the battlefield, couldn't help but feel the loss. "I'll go and find Obito's body later, then bring him back to Konoha for burial."
"I'll go with you, Minato-sensei!" Kakashi clenched his fist.
It was Obito who had helped him out of the despair he'd fallen into after his father's death. He couldn't let Obito lie buried in a foreign land.
"I'll come too!"
Nohara Rin still could hardly believe it. Their classmate of four years at the Ninja Academy, their teammate for three years after graduation—the usually cheerful, sunny Obito—was really gone.
"Okay, we'll go together when the time comes."
Minato Namikaze looked at the bandage covering Kakashi's left eye. "But let's wait until you've recovered. As for your left eye, once we're back in Konoha, we can see if there's another eye that can be used to replace it."
"That's fine." Kakashi nodded.
Losing an eye had affected his strength too much.
"...Wait!"
Qingye, who still hadn't returned to his tent, suddenly froze at their words. He stared at the bandage covering Kakashi's left eye.
Wasn't there something wrong with this conversation?
"You just said you'd replace his eye after we got back?"
"Yeah. Why?" Kakashi asked, confused.
Wasn't that perfectly normal?
Qingye said nothing. A thunderbolt seemed to strike through his mind.
If Kakashi had to go back to replace his eye, then the eye beneath the bandage on his left side was his original one—not a Sharingan?
Which meant Obito now had both of his Sharingan?!
