"Although I truly hadn't intended to kill Minato, I never expected them to react so quickly!" Uchiha Tenshu's Three-Tomoe Sharingan gleamed in his eyes as he recalled the battle that had just taken place.
Before Uchiha Naka's terrifying abilities, Minato Namikaze had been completely at a disadvantage, relentlessly pursued and battered by her attacks.
The clash between lightning-attribute speed and spatial transfer techniques was much like the fierce confrontation between Minato Namikaze and the Fourth Raikage brothers during the Third Shinobi World War, brought forward in time.

Unfortunately, he did not know that the Dragon Vein had already been completely absorbed. His actions would not cause any change at all.
Especially since Uchiha Tenshu
