"Lord Yue, he really did it!"
As he watched the terrifying flames still burning across the battlefield, Minato Namikaze, standing beside Shikaku Nara, could not help staring at the scene before him in astonishment. Only after a long while did he murmur those words. But do not mistake Minato Namikaze's shocked expression for something unbefitting a quasi-Kage-level powerhouse.
