The Two Men's Battles of Fame!

Obito's matter did not cause much of a stir in the village, because another event that shocked the Shinobi World had taken place.

Hidden Rock Village suddenly launched a fierce attack on the Land of Fire without any warning!

This sudden incident was like a Tailed Beast Bomb being unleashed upon the Shinobi World!

The entire Shinobi World had already been like a powder keg due to the Kazekage of the Land of Wind going missing. Now, it had completely exploded!

Dong Shiren personally led the Hidden Rock forces as they swept in like a violent gale, launching a surprise attack on the Land of Fire's border.

Faced with this sudden attack, the Land of Fire instantly descended into chaos.

Border commander Mimura Hayama had never expected an attack on such a scale. His defensive arrangements were instantly overwhelmed, and the defensive line collapsed for miles like a burst dam.

The news swiftly reached Konoha's upper ranks, and Konoha's leadership immediately felt their vision go dark!

At first, when Onoki had mobilized shinobi toward the border, everyone had assumed he was merely concerned about a possible invasion by the Land of Wind.

But now, that old bastard Onoki clearly had deeper schemes!

It turned out that Onoki's true target had been the powerful Konoha Village.

Misfortunes never came alone. Just as Konoha's leaders were at their wits' end,

another piece of bad news arrived!

The Land of Wind had also suddenly launched an offensive against Konoha. Using the Third Kazekage's disappearance as an excuse, it brazenly declared war on Konoha.

For a time, the situation became exceptionally tense and complicated.

Two of the Five Great Nations had declared war on Konoha at the same time. Everyone in the Land of Fire was trembling in fear!

This situation was even worse than during the Second Shinobi World War!

Fortunately, Konoha had a group of seasoned elders who had weathered both the First and Second Shinobi World Wars.

They were all battle-tested warriors of the Will of Fire!

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado had grown somewhat decrepit with age,

they were by no means fools. Especially when handling such major affairs, the four displayed intelligence and wisdom far beyond ordinary people.

These experienced elders could play an enormous role under certain circumstances.

In the current situation, after careful deliberation, Konoha's F4 made a series of decisions.

First, they decided to send the powerful and battle-hardened Jiraiya to meet the enemy on the Land of Wind front.

After all, with Jiraiya's abilities, the situation on the Land of Wind battlefield presumably would not deteriorate too badly.

Next, they made careful arrangements and dispatched Orochimaru to secretly monitor Hanzo of the Salamander.

After all, the Land of Rain under Hanzo of the Salamander's command was not to be underestimated.

Its geographical location was extremely important! If Hanzo of the Salamander suddenly decided to join in the fun, Konoha would only fall into even greater chaos!

What was more, Hanzo of the Salamander refused to admit he was old and still carried himself as if, "Though I am old, my scythe is still sharp."

He remained holed up within the Land of Rain. Though he had not yet died, he still possessed formidable strength that could not be ignored.

Orochimaru had made his name in the Land of Rain back then. Sending him back to that old ground for this mission was undoubtedly a rather wise choice.

Fugaku Uchiha was dispatched to protect the daimyo, while the Uchiha Clan and Hyuga Clan were sent to guard against the Land of Rain!

Danzo Shimura urgently recalled Nonō, who was currently serving as the headmistress of an orphanage!

She had once been Root's intelligence elite! Known as the Walking Miko, Nonō!

With the words, "You wouldn't want the children at the orphanage to have no food or funding, would you?"

Danzo successfully forced Yakushi Nonō to return to Root!

He also brought Kabuto, who possessed shinobi talent, onto the battlefield with her.

The wheels of fate had begun to turn, and Obito would soon be swept into it as well!

Minato Namikaze and Obito Uchiha headed to the border together, master and disciple joining forces to defend against and counterattack the Land of Earth!

Since the war had not yet reached its most intense stage, Hiruzen Sarutobi declared that Genin were not allowed to participate.

At the same time, he relaxed the requirements for promotion to Chunin and Jonin.

When Obito Uchiha heard that he would also be following Minato to the battlefield, he spent the entire night crafting numerous Flying Thunder God Kunai.

Because Obito had trained under Minato, his Flying Thunder God Formula also used a textual mark similar to Minato's.

Obito Uchiha wore a katana at his waist and a forehead protector on his head, while his Three-Tomoe Sharingan slowly turned in his eyes.

Minato Namikaze and Obito Uchiha had entered the war!

Within the forest, hundreds of Konoha shinobi moved at incredible speed!

Leading them at the front were Minato Namikaze and Obito Uchiha.

"Obito, how is your Flying Thunder God? This is your first time on a battlefield. It isn't the same as a mission!"

Minato reminded him.

Obito Uchiha gave him a look that said, "Don't worry."

"Sensei, my Flying Thunder God probably isn't inferior to yours anymore. I can already move without any delay. As long as it isn't too far, it depends on the specific chakra situation."

"And I've prepared a great many Flying Thunder God Kunai this time!"

Obito Uchiha replied.

"Yoshi, we need to hurry. The pressure on the front line is immense. We need to move faster."

"Okay!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A massive explosion rang out across the battlefield!

The Hidden Rock shinobi used Earth Release to create landslides and collapsing earth!

They shattered every one of Konoha's defensive lines!

Hidden Rock had fifty Jonin and three hundred Chunin!

"We're just a little short of finishing them off. Let's charge in together!"

"Okay!"

Dong Shiren used his sensory abilities and detected that there were not many people left on Konoha's side.

At this point, only four people remained on Konoha's side, including Mimura Hayama!

It was an unprecedented defeat for Konoha!

"Captain! What do we do? We can't hold on much longer!"

A blood-covered Konoha shinobi crawled over!

Mimura Hayama's expression was grim. "Damn it! The reinforcements haven't arrived yet! We can only fight to the death!"

Mimura Hayama tightly gripped the kunai in his hand and affixed explosive tags to his body.

"At this point, we can only die together with them!"

Just then, two figures suddenly appeared!

They were Minato Namikaze and Obito Uchiha!

The two had rushed ahead and arrived at the battlefield first!

The moment Mimura Hayama saw them, he was overjoyed!

Neither of them was an unknown nobody! One was Minato Namikaze, known as the Yellow Flash from his missions!

The other was the village's most outstanding genius at present, Obito Uchiha!

"You've finally arrived!"

Mimura Hayama hurriedly removed the explosive tags from his body.

"How is the situation?"

Without wasting any words, Minato Namikaze asked directly.

"The situation is complete shit. There are only four of us left here, while they have fifty Jonin and another three hundred Chunin!"

Mimura Hayama said with an ugly expression.

Obito Uchiha's pupils contracted slightly. He knew that he had encountered Minato Namikaze's battle of fame!

(I'm not sure which battle made Minato famous. Some say it was against the A-B brothers, while others say it was one versus fifty Jonin. For this novel, we'll tentatively set Minato's battle of fame as one versus fifty.)

One man versus fifty Jonin!

Originally, Minato Namikaze's Yellow Flash title had only been earned through ordinary missions. It was after this battle that the Yellow Flash name spread from the battlefield.

Later on, merely hearing his name was enough to make people abandon their missions!
