"Obito, can you buy me ten minutes?"
Minato Namikaze stared unblinkingly at the Iwagakure ninja army surging toward them like a tide, a dark mass rushing straight at them.
At the same time, he turned anxiously toward Obito and shouted.
Obito froze visibly upon hearing that, inwardly groaning.
Minato-sensei, you really think too highly of me...
Neither of us is good at wide-range Ninjutsu capable of wiping out groups of enemies.
I can handle a few enemies, but against such a flood of people, I'll probably be exhausted in no time—or even die on the spot!
Yet despite thinking that, when he saw the hopeful, trusting look in Minato's eyes,
Obito gritted his teeth and nodded anyway.
"Please! I need time to enter Sage Mode!"
Minato Namikaze knew that the situation was dire. He had no other choice—if he could not enter Sage Mode in time and summon the two great sages to aid them, the two of them would likely die here today.
So he stopped hesitating and rapidly formed hand seals!
"Summoning Technique!"
Poof!
With a thunderous boom!
Gamabunta appeared on the battlefield!
Gamabunta made a domineering entrance, but the instant he appeared, he immediately lost his composure!
"Pfft! Minato! Where the hell did you summon me to?!"
Seeing the densely packed Iwagakure ninja army, panic appeared on Gamabunta's face as well.
"Sorry, Boss Toad. I'll explain after this is over. Please work with Obito and buy me time for Sage Mode!"
Minato Namikaze said apologetically.
He then closed his eyes tightly and focused on making the preliminary preparations to summon the two great sages.
Minato Namikaze did not merely intend to enter Sage Mode.
His true plan was to summon the legendary two great sages!
Fukasaku and Shima.
With their powerful Sage Art, he would create a large-scale destructive Ninjutsu and deliver a fatal blow to the ferocious Iwagakure ninjas before them.
Only then would they have a chance to carve a bloody path through this nearly hopeless situation and find that slim ray of survival!
"Although this is my first time summoning them, I hope it works!"
Minato Namikaze muttered.
"Fine. Since you're Jiraiya's disciple, I'll help you out!"
Gamabunta looked at Minato Namikaze's face and recalled the Child of Prophecy Jiraiya had kept talking about.
He immediately prepared himself!
"Kill them! Fuck these two bastards up!"
"What Two Lights of Konoha? Go die!"
Ten thousand ninjas charged toward Obito Uchiha and Minato Namikaze!
"Kid! Since you're from the Uchiha Clan, you can use Fire Release, right? I'll spit oil, and you light it!"
Gamabunta motioned for Obito Uchiha to stand atop his head.
Obito Uchiha nodded at his words.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation Arrow!"
"Oil Release: Toad Oil Bullet!"
BOOOOOOM!!!!!
The two powerful forces combined like a natural disaster, turning into a sea of molten fire that surged toward the Iwagakure ninjas with the force to burn everything and sweep across the plains battlefield!
The immense heat produced by the fusion of flame and oil killed many Iwagakure ninjas. Some of them hastily used Earth Release in an attempt to block it.
"Earth Release: Great Earth Wall Technique!"
However, the sea of fire created by Gamabunta and Obito Uchiha was far too fierce. The earth walls were instantly burned to ash.
The Iwagakure ninjas were no fools, and they began forming an encirclement around them!
"Damn it! Enough ants can bite an elephant to death!"
Gamabunta cursed under his breath, then launched himself forward and used Toad Swordsmanship to instantly kill the Iwagakure ninjas trying to approach Minato!
At that moment, Obito Uchiha sharply swung both hands, and several Flying Thunder God Kunai shot from his grasp like lightning!
"Flying Thunder God: Multi-Stage Slaughter: Obito Spiral Impact!"
The kunai traced arcs through the air and instantly pierced the bodies of several Iwagakure ninjas.
In the blink of an eye, multiple Iwagakure ninjas had fallen into pools of blood.
Yet the enemies only grew more numerous, charging at Obito Uchiha in endless waves.
At first, Obito Uchiha was still able to maintain a certain rhythm and technique as he slaughtered the Iwagakure ninjas.
Every strike was precise and fatal, as elegant as a dance.
But as time passed and he faced the ceaseless enemies pouring toward him, he gradually began to struggle.
Little by little, Obito Uchiha began relying completely on instinct and the Sharingan's sharp reactions to kill.
Obito's movements were no longer as smooth and fluid as before. They became increasingly frenzied and brutal.
Amid this bloody slaughter, Obito Uchiha's eyes had long been dyed crimson with blood, like two burning spheres of red.
At first, most of those who fought Obito Uchiha were powerful Jonin, but as the battle continued, even ninjas who had only just become Genin had no choice but to charge at him.
On this chaotic battlefield, Obito Uchiha saw many different faces.
There were elderly men with white hair and wrinkled faces, as well as young children with childish features.
When they saw Obito Uchiha, every one of them had shock in their eyes.
They simply could not believe that the Tsuchikage had mobilized an entire ten thousand ninjas to suppress the child before them!
Looking at these children still untouched by maturity and these old men weighed down by age, Obito Uchiha felt a trace of sorrow rise in his heart.
Whose father was this, and whose son was that?
War was one stranger fighting another stranger.
No matter the outcome of war, those who benefited were always the people at the top.
Those who suffered the greatest losses were always the commoners at the bottom.
They rallied people behind all kinds of ideals, such as the Will of Fire and the Will of Stone.
They sent countless commoners to the battlefield. Nobles were forever the protagonists of the world, while commoners were reduced to background scenery.
But Obito Uchiha quickly swept away the sorrow in his heart!
He had been born into the Uchiha Clan and had become Obito Uchiha.
That in itself was fate. Why should he care about these two-dimensional commoners?
Besides, was there any better choice than staying in this miserable Ninja World?
What should he do?!
Only kill!!!
Perhaps death was the best choice right now!
Rather than struggle in this bleak, man-eating world, it was better to have a private room for one amid the sea of people!
With that thought, Obito Uchiha swung his blade faster and faster!
Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!
Obito Uchiha became a blood-red god of death, slaughtering his way through the sea of people!
Gamabunta stared in astonishment at Obito's frenzied slaughter. "How did someone as sunny as Minato end up taking a disciple with such viciousness?"
