Many Mangekyō Sharingan Seeds, but Few Mangekyō Sharingan

Seeing that the Rock Ninja hadn't disappeared like the tide, Minato Namikaze buckled, and he barely managed to stay on the spot with all his might.

"Minato!"

A young Konoha Ninja helped him up and looked at him with admiration.

This is someone who can defeat Jinchūriki!

There are only a handful in the entire Konoha!

Minato Namikaze, indicating that he no longer needed to be supported.

He looked up at Nara Shikaku, the acting commander of the Rock Ninja front, after Danzo, his face showing undisguised exhaustion.

"I have something urgent to attend to, so I'll leave things here in your care."

Minato Namikaze glanced apologetically at the ninjas who were looking at him warily, then Flying Thunder God to rush towards the location he sensed.

After he left, a group of Konoha Ninja cleaned up the battlefield and retrieved the bodies of their fallen comrades.

The Jonin bewildered glances and then moved closer to Nara Shikaku on their own.

Finally, after exchanging glances, Yamanaka Inoichi, also a contemporary member of the "Ino–Shika–Chō" trio, stepped forward.

"Shikaku, what did Minato use just now...?"

Yamanaka Inoichi, knowing full well the answer, asked the question.

They were all Jonin, so they naturally saw clearly what Minato Namikaze 'Killer B final Rasengan.

Minato Namikaze defeating Killer B is naturally no problem.

But isn't the Rasengan Ninjutsu that the Uchiha developed in the last two years? How did Minato Namikaze learn it?

Was it taught by the Uchiha Clan, or...?

The Jonin, lost in thought, turned their gazes to Nara Shikaku, waiting for him to give his final verdict on the matter.

Meeting their gazes, Nara Shikaku thought of Minato Namikaze's apologetic look before he left, and felt a headache coming on.

"Now that Lord Minato has repelled the Eight-Tails, let's all take care of our respective tasks!"

"I will report today's events to the Hokage!"

Hearing Nara Shikaku's words, the Jonin's eyes lit up, and they all returned to their posts.

Looking around at the empty space, Nara Shikaku sigh.

Luckily, I was quick-witted and managed to shift the blame onto the Hokage.

As for letting him handle it?

What a load of crap!

If it's not done properly, it could easily lead to someone's death!

The Land of Grass.

As the sun set, Kakashi, covered in bandages, slowly awoke on a flat boulder.

"Hmm."

Looking at the setting sun in the sky, Kakashi's eyes first flashed with confusion, then he widened his eyes and struggled to sit up straight.

"Don't get agitated, Kakashi."

A familiar but weary voice rang out, causing Kakashi to stop writhing.

Kakashi twisted his head with all his might and looked to the side.

Minato Namikaze, his Minato Namikaze torn in several places and looking exhausted, came into his view.

And it was this very figure that caused an astonishing light to appear in Kakashi's eyes.

He remembered that when he was covering Rin's escape and was about to be killed while doing everything he could to buy time, it was Minato Namikaze who saved him!

If he was rescued from Rin's clutches Flying Thunder God Kunai, then Rin must have been rescued as well, right?

"Teacher..."

With anticipation, Kakashi spoke with difficulty.

Due to the depletion of his body by excessive Lightning Release Chakra, Kakashi's voice is now hoarse and weak.

Like an old, worn-out fan, it struggles to turn, emitting a sickening creaking sound.

Meeting Kakashi's gaze, Minato Namikaze remained unusually silent.

"Sorry, Kakashi."

Minato Namikaze's hoarse yet accurate voice reached Kakashi's ears.

The sound was very soft, but it instantly caused Kakashi's struggling body to lose strength, and he collapsed onto the rock.

He didn't shed a single tear; his body was completely dehydrated, and he could no longer produce any tears.

His chest heaved as he sobbed softly.

How could that be? The Flying Thunder God Kunai with Rin.

Kakashi's left Sharingan unconsciously activated, and the two Tomoe slowly rotated.

Minato Namikaze didn't know the specifics, but while bandaging Kakashi, he saw a Two-Tomoe Sharingan, and he also didn't find any trace of Obito.

Everything is obvious now.

Obito has already sacrificed himself!

Minato Namikaze had to make a decision, even though he didn't want to accept the reality.

"Kakashi."

Minato Namikaze spoke softly.

"When I arrived here using the Flying Thunder God Kunai, I didn't see Rin. It was the same at the Rock Ninja; I couldn't find Rin anywhere."

"I didn't find any suspicious traces, it's as if Lin was kidnapped by someone else who Flying Thunder God."

Minato Namikaze no words of comfort, but his words gradually calmed Kakashi down.

"Lin still has a chance of living!"

"Perhaps she's with the Rock Ninja, or perhaps with some other ninja, but whatever the case, Kakashi, finding Rin still depends on you!"

Minato Namikaze's words were like a deflated lifebuoy handed to a drowning Kakashi.

The earlier you use it, the better the results.

After a long while, Kakashi turned to look at Minato Namikaze.

"Teacher, Obito has sacrificed himself."

"Before he died, he entrusted his eyes and Lin to me..."

In the Mountains' Graveyard.

Obito, whom Kakashi claimed was already dead, was lying on a flattened stone bed, his body wrapped like a mummy, his chest rising and falling slightly.

Clearly, he was still alive at this point.

"Faced with a boulder pressing down on them, an ordinary person would have been crushed into mincemeat long ago."

"And as the boulder fell, in the instant before it struck him, he unleashed his potential, instinctively unleashing the power of space!"

Madara Uchiha, with his full head of white hair, spoke with great relish.

"But most of his body was almost turned into minced meat, and his condition was very bad. Under normal circumstances, he would not be able to escape death!"

"I've now transplanted half of White Zetsu's body into him, and I've also used the power of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to help him integrate the power within his body, allowing him to initially assimilate into the White Zetsu's body."

"If I had more time, I might have silently merged with his body on my own, but unfortunately, time is running out now."

Madara Uchiha sat beneath the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, several white tubes connected to his body, constantly drawing Chakra from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to sustain his life.

"Every Uchiha is a seed of the Mangekyō Sharingan, so there are many seeds of the Mangekyō Sharingan, but very few people can bear the fruit called 'Mangekyō Sharingan'."

Madara Uchiha spoke with a rare hint of interest.

"However, the Mangekyō Sharingan Seed that can unleash spatial power with only two Tomoe is absolutely unprecedented. What kind of Mangekyō Sharingan Uchiha cultivate?"

I'm really looking forward to it.
