Defying Heaven and Changing Fate! Lord Madara: Bring These Two Back to Life!

"But, Lord Madara, you just said... Minato's death was inevitable?"

Black Zetsu looked at Lin Feng, who had already stood up, with a hint of confusion in his voice. One moment he was lamenting the end of an era, and the next, why was this lord's chakra starting to riot?

Lin Feng tidied up the battle armor on his body, a wicked smile curling up the corner of his mouth.

"It was inevitable, indeed. According to the normal script, the hero sacrifices himself, and the orphaned child suffers. This is the ultimate in tragic aesthetics."

Fortunately, he had previously seized the Flying Raijin Technique as a reward from Kirigakure Village. A Flying Raijin mark had already been left on a White Zetsu lurking in Konoha, so time was still on their side. They were right next to the battlefield.

He strode to the edge of the rooftop, reaching out and taking Black Zetsu with him as their figures began to become illusory amidst spatial distortion.

"But, Black Zetsu, I suddenly feel that such an old-fashioned script is too boring."

"The hero saves the world, then dies gloriously!"

"Compared to a dead, perfect Hokage, don't you think... it's more interesting to let a fresh bloodline create a newer future, rather than letting an old, stubborn Third Hokage continue to occupy the Hokage position that doesn't belong to him!"

"What's more, with the real power in Konoha now, under the infiltration of us two Hokage Assistants, it can belong to the Uchiha clan!"

Black Zetsu was stunned.

This was simply... the devil's whisper.

If Namikaze Minato were alive, only to discover that the Konoha leadership had been taken over by Danzo and Fugaku Uchiha, that scene...

"Moreover," Lin Feng's voice rang out one last time before he disappeared, "I want to make that kid Obito's despair even more thorough."

Outside Konoha Village, within the barrier.

The aura of death had already permeated the air.

Namikaze Minato formed hand seals, about to perform the forbidden jutsu, Dead Demon Consuming Seal.

Kushina was suspended in mid-air by the Adamantine Sealing Chains, her face as pale as paper, her life force rapidly draining with the Nine-Tails' struggles.

"Minato... don't..."

Kushina weakly shook her head, tears rolling down her cheeks, "Don't do that jutsu for me..."

"Kushina, this is the only thing I can do." Minato's eyes were filled with determination and tenderness. "For Naruto, and for the village. The Nine-Tails' power is too great; I must take half of it away..."

"Dead Demon Consuming Seal!"

Just as Minato was about to sacrifice his soul at the critical moment--

Boom!

A torrent of purple repulsive force descended from the sky, like a Divine Giant Hand, instantly interrupting the Dead Demon Consuming Seal that Minato was about to perform.

"Who gave you permission to die, Namikaze Minato?"

A cold, arrogant voice, carrying an overbearing pressure, exploded in the center of the battlefield.

As the dust settled, Lin Feng, clad in battle armor, his long hair wild, stood abruptly between Minato and Kushina and the Nine-Tails.

Those purple Rinnegan eyes indifferently gazed at the tragic family of three.

"Uchiha... Madara?!"

Minato's pupils contracted violently, his hand seals forced to stop. He hadn't expected that at this desperate moment, it would be the legendary Asura of the Ninja World who appeared!

"What? Surprised?"

Lin Feng glanced at the Nine-Tails, which was baring its teeth and trying to attack.

"Beast, be quiet."

The power of the Rinnegan erupted!

The Nine-Tails' massive body suddenly stiffened, as if its throat were being choked by invisible chains. It was instantly suppressed and unable to move, only able to let out unwilling whimpers.

This move directly shocked the entire scene.

"You... what do you want to do?" Minato shielded Kushina. Although his body was at its limit, his eyes remained vigilant.

"I'm watching a foolish farce."

Lin Feng pointed at Kushina, then at Minato, his tone filled with mockery.

"The life force of the Uzumaki Clan, combined with your so-called 'Yellow Flash' brain, and in the end, you could only think of 'mutual destruction,' such a terrible plan?"

"Pathetic!"

"Do you know that the reason a jinchuriki dies after having their Tailed Beast extracted is due to chakra depletion and a break in their life force."

Lin Feng walked towards the two step by step, each step landing on Minato's heartbeat.

"However, as long as the Tailed Beast is stuffed back in before the life force is exhausted, the jinchuriki can live. This is theoretically feasible in the ninja world."

Minato was stunned.

Kushina was also stunned.

They had never heard of this theory. In their understanding, Tailed Beast extraction equals certain death.

"But... the Nine-Tails is too strong. Kushina can't suppress it right now..." Minato subconsciously retorted.

"Nine-Tails? Is it strong? Can't you just use your hands?"

"As the Fourth Hokage, your strength is still too poor. Who told you to stuff the whole thing inside? Idiot."

Lin Feng impatiently interrupted him.

"Didn't you want to split the Nine-Tails in two? Then re-seal the Yin-attribute chakra you were preparing to sacrifice to the Shinigami back into this woman's body."

"The Uzumaki Clan's physique is enough to contain half of the Nine-Tails and quickly restore vitality. As for the remaining half, the Yang-attribute..."

Lin Feng's gaze fell on Naruto in the swaddling clothes.

"Stuff it into this kid. This is the so-called 'restocking' method to extend life."

"The Eight Trigrams Sealing Style is enough. There's no need for a losing deal like the Dead Demon Consuming Seal. What, do you really want to tour the Shinigami's belly?"

Minato was struck by lightning.

He stared blankly at Lin Feng, his mind racing.

If he didn't die, if he didn't sacrifice his soul...

Just split the Nine-Tails in two with the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style, half for Kushina to extend her life, and half for Naruto...

Theoretically... it was actually feasible!

As long as the speed was fast enough! As long as someone could suppress the Nine-Tails!

And now, the man before him, who possessed the Rinnegan, was holding the Nine-Tails as if he were squeezing a chick!

"Why..." Minato's voice trembled, "Why are you telling us this? Why are you saving us?"

In his understanding, "Uchiha Madara" should be the mastermind, the one who brought destruction.

"Saving you?"

Lin Feng sneered, as if he had heard the greatest joke in the world.

He bent down, leaned close to Minato's ear, and said in a voice only they could hear:

"Because I think, letting you live to see Konoha flourish under my leadership, and letting that Senju Tobirama understand how much crisis the forces left behind by the inherently evil Senju Clan have caused to current development, only my Uchiha Clan can make Konoha great again! You are an indispensable person for unifying the village!"

"In the current Konoha, Danzo and Fugaku Uchiha have just become your 'aides'. If you die, how can my great ideal be realized?"

Minato's pupils contracted.

"Alright, my patience is limited."

Lin Feng straightened up, kicked the Nine-Tails on the head, and sent the strongest Tailed Beast tumbling.

"Hurry up. I'll give you three minutes. If you can't do it, I'll personally send your family of three on their way to avoid annoying me."

After speaking, Lin Feng crossed his arms and stepped aside, truly adopting the posture of a "supervisor."

Minato no longer hesitated.

He took a deep look at Lin Feng, then turned to Kushina, his eyes reignited with hope.

"Kushina... we can live!"

"Minato..." Kushina weakly opened her eyes, her vision blurred by tears.

"Bear with it, it's going to hurt!"

Minato rapidly formed hand seals, and golden chakra erupted.

This time, it wasn't the desperate Dead Demon Consuming Seal, but the life-filled Eight Trigrams Sealing Style!

"Sealing Technique: Eight Trigrams Sealing Style!"

During those thrilling three minutes, Lin Feng watched coldly.

He watched Minato forcibly tear apart the Nine-Tails' chakra, watched the Yin-attribute chakra surge into Kushina's body along the sealing formula, and watched the complexion of the once critically endangered red-haired woman gradually regain a trace of color.

He then watched the remaining Yang-attribute chakra being sealed into little Naruto's abdomen.

No Shinigami.

No sacrifice.

Only an exhausted couple, collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, yet still tightly holding each other's hands.

"We did it..."

Minato collapsed on the ground, feeling Kushina's weak but steady pulse. At this moment, the fastest man in the Ninja World cried like a child. No, the title of fastest should now be changed to Uchiha Madara.

Lin Feng watched this scene, but the distorted face of Obito appeared in his mind.

If Obito knew that the teacher and his wife he desperately wanted to kill were casually saved by the "Madara" he most admired...

That expression must have been spectacular.

"Alright, stop putting on a melodrama there."

Lin Feng's cold voice interrupted the heartwarming moment.

He glanced at the Third Hokage and the large Anbu force rapidly approaching in the distance.

"Your reinforcements are here. Remember this 'favor', Fourth Hokage."

"Live well. Struggle to survive in this Ninja World that is about to become unrecognizable."

A spatial vortex appeared again.

Lin Feng's figure slowly sank into it, leaving behind only a sentence that made Minato's heart pound, echoing in the night sky:

"Next time we meet, I hope your Konoha hasn't been renamed Uchiha."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen arrived at the scene with a large number of ninjas, he didn't see the tragic corpses he had expected.

Instead, he saw Namikaze Minato holding a child and supporting his weak wife.

"Minato?! Kushina?!"

The Third Hokage was so shocked that his pipe fell to the ground. "You... you're not dead? Where's the Nine-Tails?"

"It's been sealed."

Minato showed an extremely weak, yet incredibly relieved smile.

"Third Hokage-sama... we, we survived."

In the crowd, Fugaku Uchiha, who was mixed in with the Military Police Force, looked at the living Minato couple and was in a good mood because of his "meritorious service in saving the Hokage."

The Fourth Hokage isn't dead? That's great!

He, the newly appointed "Hokage Assistant," was finally safe!

And dozens of kilometers away, in the Kamui Dimension.

Obito, who was preparing to receive the news of "the hero's fall and Konoha's chaos," suddenly felt a strange chill.

For some reason, he felt that the moon tonight was particularly dazzling.

It was as if the whole world was targeting him.
