Great Victory at Kannabi Bridge

"What is it?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised a hand and gently rubbed his forehead, steadying himself before asking.

The ANBU ninja took a deep breath.

He tried hard to calm the surging emotions in his heart before speaking in a slightly trembling voice.

"At the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, Minato Namikaze and Obito Uchiha successfully withstood the fierce assault of ten thousand Iwagakure ninja!"

"And they achieved astonishing results, killing nearly ten thousand enemies! Akatsuchi, the Hidden Rock Village ninja with a Bloodline Limit, also died in that fierce battle! What's more, Minato Namikaze even captured Onoki's biological son, Kitsuchi, alive!"

After hearing the news, Hiruzen Sarutobi froze completely, as though time itself had stopped.

"What?! Is this true?!"

Only after a long while did he suddenly snap out of it. He shot to his feet and hurried toward the ANBU ninja, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Danzo Shimura, standing nearby, was equally dumbstruck. His pupils constricted sharply, and his mouth fell slightly open.

Just then, members of Danzo Shimura's Root hurried over to report to him.

The Root ninja quickly bent down and whispered a few words into Danzo Shimura's ear.

As the Root ninja's words reached him, Danzo Shimura knew this was absolutely true!

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a rush of hot blood shoot straight to his head!

This was an unprecedented victory for Konoha!

Even more brilliant than the battle of the Three Sannin and his own battle that had earned him the title of Shinobi Hero!

"How are Minato and his student?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked anxiously.

"They're unharmed! The ninja we dispatched have already brought them back to a safe area on the front lines!"

The ANBU replied swiftly.

"Hahahaha! Minato and his student truly are a pair of genius master and disciple! I never expected Minato and Obito Uchiha to have grown to this extent! Good! Good! Good!"

The guilt in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart was swept away.

"Lord Hokage, is this the latest announcement? Should I deliver it?"

The ANBU ninja looked at the eulogy Hiruzen Sarutobi had written and asked in confusion.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face flushed red. He crumpled the eulogy into a ball. "Oh, it's nothing. It's not an announcement. It's just tonight's menu~"

Danzo Shimura raised a brow and took the unbelievable battle report, reading it carefully.

"I never expected this... I never expected this..."

No emotion could be seen in Danzo Shimura's eyes.

"Spread this news immediately! Let the entire Shinobi World see what the Will of Fire is! Let them see what Konoha's two lights are!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said excitedly, then turned to Danzo Shimura. "Danzo, use your Root to help spread the word too!"

Danzo Shimura raised a brow, but still nodded.

"Ah! What's that long, hard thing?"

Obito Uchiha sleepily opened his eyes. In his daze, he could vaguely feel something pressing against his back.

"Hahaha, little Obito, guess what I'm using to poke you?"

Minato appeared in front of Obito with a sunny smile.

Seeing this, Obito suddenly thought of a certain possibility, and his scalp went numb.

"Damn it! Minato-sensei! What are you doing?"

Obito Uchiha abruptly sat up and stared at Minato Namikaze in shock.

"Oh, what are you thinking? Obito, it's just a Flying Thunder God Kunai!"

Minato Namikaze smiled as he pulled the Flying Thunder God Kunai from his pocket.

Obito Uchiha let out a sigh of relief.

Then, with a mischievous grin, he placed Minato's hand three inches below his navel.

"Hehehe, Minato-sensei, then guess what this thing is?"

Obito Uchiha said with a wicked grin.

"Ah?! Obito! What are you doing?"

Minato Namikaze instantly freaked out!

"Actually, this thing is an Old Konoha chicken wrap!"

Obito Uchiha pulled an Old Konoha chicken wrap out from his crotch.

"So it's a chicken wrap! I'll eat it! I'll eat it! I'll eat, eat!"

Bang!

Obito Uchiha slowly came to. His head still felt heavy, as though he had not yet recovered from a hangover.

Obito Uchiha blinked, and his vision gradually cleared. Three people stood beside the bed—Minato, Kakashi, and Rin.

"Obito! You're finally awake!"

The moment Rin Nohara saw Obito open his eyes, a delighted smile bloomed across her face. She quickly walked to the bedside, her gaze full of concern and excitement.

Obito Uchiha tried to sit up, but the moment he moved, a hand quickly pressed him back down.

He looked up and saw that it was Minato Namikaze.

"Obito, the medic said you need to rest properly. This battle took far too much out of your body!"

Minato Namikaze said softly with a worried expression, his voice full of concern.

Hearing that, Obito Uchiha obediently nodded and slowly lay back down.

Though he was fully conscious now, his body remained extremely weak.

"Obito, you were incredible this time! The entire village is spreading stories of your and Minato-sensei's heroic deeds! And not only that, every nation has added a new rule: if they encounter either Minato-sensei or you in battle, they can immediately choose to abandon their mission!"

Rin's eyes glittered with admiration as she stared straight at Obito Uchiha.

Kakashi, standing nearby, also looked at Obito Uchiha with surprise in his eyes, and a trace of amazement showed on his face.

He had never expected the former dead last to grow to this extent.

Looking at Obito Uchiha, Kakashi was completely convinced.

When he saw Obito Uchiha soaked in blood from head to toe, with the blade in his hand chipped and curled from all the cutting, Kakashi had truly admired him.

When he saw the Kannabi Bridge battlefield, Kakashi had been genuinely stunned.

He was utterly shocked! The number of people he had killed during missions did not even compare to the number Obito Uchiha had killed!

When it came to killing, he was like a raw recruit in front of Obito.

After hearing Rin's account, Obito Uchiha could not help feeling surprised.

The Battle of Kannabi Bridge had actually caused such an enormous impact.

His name had now spread throughout the Shinobi World, and he possessed prestige equal to that of the Yellow Flash in the original story.

"Hahaha, not at all, not at all. I'm actually the most timid and afraid of trouble..."

Obito Uchiha said with a slight smile.

"Alright, Obito, get some proper rest. The medic said you shouldn't move around recently, or it might affect your growth. Lord Hokage has already approved your leave."

Minato Namikaze said with a smile.

The moment Obito Uchiha heard that it might affect his height, he hurriedly nodded.
