Qingshui is Captured

Namikaze Minato, summoned by the Heavenly Dao, was called out by name. His expression was subtle. Although he didn't recognize Uchiha Kō below him, he was all too familiar with himself below.

The fact that he could go to such lengths for Uchiha Kō can only mean one thing: Uchiha Kō was a good person.

And he, Qingshui [Young Minato], is also a good person! It's a bit too much for a good person to be paired with another good person.

He wanted to tell Heavenly Dao that he didn't want to go, but Heavenly Dao's eyes were fixed on him, not giving him a chance to refuse.

Qingshui had no choice but to say, "Yes!"

He then stepped into the portal and arrived on the battlefield. Just as he was about to move, he brushed past his Nine-Tails self.

The two stopped simultaneously. Namikaze Minato looked at Qingshui in silence for a moment, then spoke, "I didn't expect you to participate in this war."

Qingshui scratched his head. "Cough cough, I didn't expect this either. There was nothing I could do. The people above forced you. If you didn't come, you'd be dead."

He pointed his finger to the sky, then gave a wry smile and looked embarrassed.

To be honest, he really didn't want to come, but the forces of Heavenly Dao were forcing him, leaving him no choice but to comply.

Namikaze Minato understood, and he nodded. "In that case, then, war?"

Qingshui shook his head. "Just arrest me already. I know I can't beat you, and I know myself very well. I would never do anything to harm the Ninja World or the world."

Namikaze Minato laughed, "Sure, but we still need to pretend to fight for a bit."

Qingshui thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, let's have Flying Thunder God contest then."

Namikaze Minato nodded, and then the two golden lights began to fight. When Qingshui's Kunai came into contact with Namikaze Minato's Kunai, he secretly groaned.

He hadn't expected his Nine-Tails form to be so powerful; in just one exchange, his Kunai was sent flying.

Seeing this, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but smile, "You are no match for me now, neither in terms of chakra reserves nor strength."

Qingshui took out the Kunai again. "I know that, but we need to fight for a while longer. Then I'll create an opening, and you can catch me."

Namikaze Minato's lips twitched. Was his past self so cheerful? So easily defeated?

However, he still agreed. Immediately afterwards, two golden beams of light moved and collided back and forth in the sky, on the ground, and on the mountain. Each time they collided, sparks would fly out when the two Kunai contact.

Even a powerful expert like Uchiha was somewhat dizzy looking at them. "These two are actually evenly matched. Owl, is your Nine-Tails Chakra useless?!"

Uchiha Kō sat at the head of the table, cross-legged, looking outside at his eldest disciple and Qingshui, who occasionally clashed, looking dangerous, but in reality, both of them were holding back.

He had a vague idea in his mind. "Let me see, Great Grandfather, and all you fellow shadows."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha obediently sat down, while the other five former Five Kage seemed thoughtful as they witnessed this scene.

In their time, the ruthless God of Shinobi would wipe out entire families at the drop of a hat was now so obedient to Uchiha Kō, which made them admire him even more.

Senju Hashirama to the side, spoke up dumbfounded, "Do you think it's possible that they're acting?" Senju Hashirama had already sensed something was off.

Given Namikaze Minato's strength, this shouldn't have taken this long!

"Acting?" Uchiha Izuna frowned, then relaxed his brow. "That's right, these two are acting."

Senju Tobirama rolled his eyes at him. "Only an idiot Izuna could figure it out? You're even slower to react than my older brother, that airhead. Tsk."

"These two are obviously acting. What kind of ninja tool is Minato holding? A high-tech ninja tool! Its material is far superior to that of ordinary Kunai."

"Furthermore, Minato now possesses the Nine-Tails' power extracted from Uchiha Kō, while the Minato on the other side clearly only has ordinary chakra. Who would believe that the two of them could fight for so long without holding back or putting on an act!" Senju Tobirama looked at Izuna with a mocking expression.

Uchiha Izuna was instantly enraged. "Senju -hair! How dare you!" he shouted, preparing to draw his sword.

Senju Tobirama sneered, "Looks like you're eager to experience the Flying Thunder God Slash again!"

Looking at the two of them, Uchiha Kō felt a headache coming on. He snorted coldly and released his surging and violent chakra.

In an instant, both Uchiha Izuna and Senju Tobirama became obedient; one sheathed his sword, and the other lowered his head.

The Five Kage, Impure World Reincarnation, also felt the terror. If the chakra of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha was like an insurmountable mountain, then Uchiha Kō was like the sun in the sky, something they could only look up to.

"If you really have a grudge, you can settle it once your past selves come out, instead of drawing your swords against your own people here." Uchiha Kō's eyes were filled with rage.

Uchiha rushed forward. "Owl, calm down, calm down!" Uchiha comforted Uchiha Kō.

Senju Hashirama walked up to the two people. "Apologize right now!"

The two exchanged a glance, apologized, Uchiha Kō's expression softened slightly. "If I'm not mistaken, everyone will be summoned by the Heavenly Dao in a little while."

"So, if you have a grudge, take revenge; if you have a grievance, complain. Don't be soft-hearted. Fight those you can beat, and if you can't beat them, call in reinforcements!" Uchiha Kō announced on the spot.

All the ninjas present couldn't help but turn their gazes to Uchiha Kō, then to Nara Rokumei, as if asking, "Why is it that you Hokage have no bottom line?"

Nara Rokumei smiled slightly and nodded gently.

There's nothing wrong with using any means necessary to achieve victory; you have to pick on the weak and fight only the ones you can win!

However, since Uchiha Kō had spoken, everyone echoed and agreed.

Outside

The battle between Namikaze Minato and Qingshui was nearing its end. Qingshui was suffering greatly. During the battle, he discovered the difference in their weapons, so he attached his chakra to the blades of his Kunai, which was barely enough to withstand Namikaze Minato's Ion Vibrating Blade.

However, he still had to keep changing his Kunai, and at that very moment, Qingshui's Kunai broke again! He touched his ninja tool pouch; he only had one left.

He looked at Namikaze Minato, Namikaze Minato lips twitched. He seemed to remember that he had a total of 10 Kunai in his ninja tool bag, and he thought he had just Qingshui 9 of them.

Namikaze Minato: "How about we keep one? Otherwise, going back to your original world will cost a considerable amount."

Qingshui sighed, "Fine, fine, just tie me up." As he spoke, Qingshui deliberately created an opening, as Namikaze Minato was a pragmatist.

He used Flying Thunder God to arrive above Qingshui, then took out the Golden Canopy Rope and infused it with chakra.

The Golden Canopy Rope flew towards Qingshui automatically and bound him. Qingshui struggled symbolically for a couple of moments, but found he couldn't move!

He looked puzzled. "Dude, are you serious?!"

The Golden Canopy Rope originally belonged to Kinkaku Ginkaku, Uchiha Kō wanted to summon them to serve him and resist the Heavenly Dao.

Unexpectedly, these two guys turned on each other and launched an attack directly against Uchiha Kō.

Uchiha Kō was so angry he laughed. He defeated them, confiscated their Six Paths Treasured Tools, and then released them from their Impure World Reincarnation state, sending them back to the Underworld to serve their punishment.

He distributed these Six Paths Treasured Tools among his six disciples, since he trusted his own people more than he could handle.

The Golden Canopy Rope belongs to Namikaze Minato. His attack power and speed are excellent, but his control ability is his weakness. The Golden Canopy Rope can complement his strengths.

Qingshui asked, "Dude, what is this rope? It can not only control people, but it also prevents them from using their chakra."

Namikaze Minato smiled and said, "This is a magical artifact my master gave me."

"Master? Jiraiya? Why didn't he see me off?" Qingshui was somewhat speechless.

Namikaze Minato scratched his head. "Jiraiya my master either. My master is Uchiha Kō! Don't talk nonsense!"

Qingshui realized that if that was the case, then there was no problem. He said that Jiraiya- sensei wouldn't hide anything from him.

However, at the same time, Qingshui was also very envious of Namikaze Minato in front of him. He had a powerful teacher and was given such a powerful weapon. He began to wonder why there was no Uchiha Kō in his world?

And so, Namikaze Minato hoisted Qingshui onto his shoulder and headed into the castle.

This made Heavenly Dao and the others look ugly, while Uchiha Kō and the others showed knowing smiles.

When the Heavenly Dao saw this scene in the universe, its entire body surged with the power of destiny. A black dragon appeared behind it; though it was called a dragon, it was more like a jiao (a type of dragon-like creature).

Because it only has one horn, and its ferocity is much greater than that of a dragon, while its sacredness is much less.

Perhaps influenced by Karmic Sin, the dragon behind the Heavenly Dao roared, intimidating everyone present.

"Minato has lost," Heavenly Dao said coldly.

The others dared not speak, while Ōtsutsuki Shibai looked at Heavenly Dao with disdain.

Can't this idiot see that the two people below are acting? Minato lost?! They never even intended to fight!

Everyone remained silent. The situation was beyond their control; the power of this Heavenly Dao far surpassed their own. Otherwise, who the hell would bother arguing with him here?

After a moment Heavenly Dao contemplation, Tendo looked at Senju Hashirama and Uchiha: "Next, you go. They disregarded love and justice, using violence to abolish the four ninja villages besides Konoha, turning them into departments. This goes against Senju Hashirama's original intentions."

Upon hearing Heavenly Dao's words, Senju Hashirama frowned, while Uchiha raised an eyebrow, showing different attitudes towards Heavenly Dao's words.

Finally, Senju Hashirama spoke up, "Using violence is wrong; it only perpetuates hatred from generation to generation! I will never allow such a thing to happen."

Senju Tobirama to the side, looked at Senju Hashirama with a constipated expression. "Dude, what's wrong with this?"

Uchiha Izuna rolled his eyes even more unabashedly; this pillar was still as stupid as ever.

Uchiha immediately closed his eyes, not wanting to see Senju Hashirama; better to keep quiet than to look away!
