[I don't know how Teacher Jiraiya and the others are doing. I hope they can hold on.]
Minato Namikaze's heart was filled with worries, he thought as he rushed towards the Iwagakure Ninja battlefield.
Continuous battles have made Minato's chakra no longer abundant. In order to maintain sufficient combat effectiveness when arriving on the battlefield, Minato did not dare to use Flying Thunder God too much.
Now Minato has only two ninjas left, Kakashi Hatake and Rin Nohara.
One of Kakashi's eyes has turned into Sharingan. Without the personal interference of Iori, the plot of Kannabi Bridge still proceeds according to the script of Madara Uchiha.
Obito Uchiha opened Sharingan in adversity, and he used his emotions and will to lead Kakashi out of the trauma of the past.
It allowed him to get rid of the shadow left by his father's death in the past and accept others again.
But he was crushed to the ground by Iwagakure Ninja's ninjutsu, leaving only one eye, which he gave to Kakashi.
"Kakashi, how do your eyes feel?" Lin asked as she ran closer to Kakashi.
It was also the first time for her to undergo Sharingan's eye transplant surgery. She was so uneasy that she could only ask Kakashi how she felt during the break.
Kakashi reached out and touched the eyes, and said firmly to Lin: "I'm fine. This is Obito's last gift. Bringing him with me makes me feel that Obito is still by my side and has not left."
A trace of hesitation flashed in Minato's eyes, and his eyes were firmly locked on Kakashi.
In his perception, Kakashi and Sharingan were like a deep black hole, constantly devouring his chakra.
"Uchiha Clan definitely doesn't want the people's eyes to leak out. If you insist on keeping it, you will face great pressure."
"And Sharingan may not be a good thing for you. Do you really want to keep it?"
Minato asked hesitantly.
"Minato-sensei, please, this is Obito's relic. I hope he can stay with me."
Kakashi asked Minato with firm eyes, a hint of pleading in his tone. To him, this eye meant a lot and he was unwilling to lose it.
Minato looked at Kakashi's determined face. Although there were thousands of words in his heart, they finally turned into a sigh.
"Well, no matter what happens, I will support you."
Minato knew that this decision might cause huge trouble, but he knew better that as a teacher, he must stand on the side of the students.
"Thank you, Minato-sensei." After hearing Minato's words, Kakashi showed a touch of emotion on his face.
He knew that Kekkei Genkai, as the foundation of the Ninja clan, was absolutely not allowed to leak out.
Once someone wants to peek at their own blood heir, it will be like a declaration of war and they will fight to the death.
Minato is saying that he will support him now, but he doesn't know how much price he will have to pay to save this eye later.
"Okay, let's stop and take a short rest. The battlefield is right in front. I'll rush in directly later. You guys are standing by to prepare for support. If you have the chance, enter Konoha's line. Do you understand?"
Minato suddenly stretched out his hand in the Mercedes and stopped the two of them.
The battlefield was right ahead, but he didn't rush and instead laid out his tactics.
After finishing the repairs, Minato took the lead and ran towards the battlefield. The trident Kunai in his hand was ready to be thrown.
Kakashi took Lin with him and kept a distance from Minato, closely following his pace.
However, when Minato approached the battlefield, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
The hustle and bustle on the battlefield has fallen silent, replaced by an unsettling tranquility, and the battle seems to have come to an end.
Seeing this, Minato's heartbeat continued to accelerate, and his heart was filled with anxiety and worry. He was very worried that the loser would be Konoha.
When he finally arrived at the battlefield, Iwagakure Ninja had already withdrawn to his camp, and Konoha's ninjas were cleaning the battlefield and preparing to return.
After Minato arrived, looking at the scene in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
If Konoha were defeated, the expressions of the ninjas cleaning the battlefield would not be so peaceful.
He teleported to a ninja and asked urgently, "Is the battle over? Did we win? Are our losses serious?"
His questions were like a barrage of questions, hitting the ninja on the opposite side.
After the ninja saw Minato, he hurriedly replied, "We have won. Lord Uchiha Iori came from the village to support us."
"He killed Four-Tails and forced Iwagakure Ninja to surrender. Now Lord Jiraiya is negotiating with Tsuchikage about the surrender."
When Minato heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He did not expect that Iori, who went to support Land of Wind, would appear on the battlefield of Land of Earth.
After Kakashi and Lin realized that the battle was over, they quickly chased after them and found Minato. After the three of them reunited, Minato planned to report the status of the mission to Jiraiya first.
Although this task may have lost its meaning now, the process cannot be ignored. This is out of respect for the companions who sacrificed for it.
On the way to find Jiraiya to recover, Minato said to Kakashi:
"Let's seek support from Mr. Iori first. He should be the strongest person in Uchiha now. With his support, your chances of keeping Sharingan will be much higher."
"But will senior Iori be willing to help me? As Uchiha, he should also value his blood successor, right?"
Kakashi said hesitantly, his heart full of worry.
The relationship between Iori and them can only be regarded as friends, and he may not be willing to support this kind of thing.
Minato gently patted Kakashi on the shoulder, giving him encouragement and support.
"No matter what the result is, we have to give it a try. Mr. Iori is a good person and he will understand your choice."
There was a hint of firmness in Minato's voice. He understood Uchiha's current predicament and was willing to change the relationship between the two parties after he took office.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he planned to have a good chat with Iori about the problem of Fourth Hokage.
After the death of Obito, the contact between Minato and Uchiha was severed. And when Minato planned to protect Kakashi to death, it was difficult for the relationship between the two parties not to be affected.
After all, this involves the issue of family blood leakage, and any small decision may set off Uchiha Clan's nerves.
Therefore, Minato plans to extend an olive branch to Iori and draw him into his camp, thereby eliminating the influence of Kakashi.
However, Minato still doesn't know what happened to Land of Wind, and he still looks at Iori with the eyes of the past.
In his heart, Iori is still the young ninja who has just grown up. Although he is powerful, he lacks prestige.
In fact, Iori is already the biggest competitor of Minato.
