Ōnoki's Dust Release beam grazed Yūto's chest, leaving a hideous burn mark.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, but still grinned, the fighting spirit in his eyes undiminished.
"Yūto!" Tsukimi exclaimed, hurriedly holding his shaking body.
When Minato launched an attack from Ōnoki, Kunai was already thrown out instantly, approaching the opponent instantly.
However, Ōnoki held Hand Seals in his hands and shouted, "Ultra-Light-Weight Rock Technique!"
He quickly picked up Roshi and Han's body, his speed increased sharply, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a black dot in the sky.
"Let them run away..." Tekka gritted his teeth.
Minato took back Kunai and turned around to check Yūto's injuries.
Dust Release shaved off part of the skin and flesh on his chest, and blood soaked his clothes, but fortunately, his internal organs were not damaged.
Yūto wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, waved his hand and said, "I can't die, this little injury..."
Before he finished speaking, he coughed up another mouthful of blood.
"Stop being brave!" Tsukimi's distressed eyes turned red, even so red that there were faint traces of blood.
Within Konoha Front Line Camp, Medical Tent.
"The lungs were slightly burned, and Chakra Meridians was also damaged from excessive use of Tailed Beast's power."
Medical Ninja finished bandaging Yūto's wounds and said seriously, "It is recommended to rest for at least two weeks, and no high-intensity fighting is allowed during this period."
Minato nodded and turned to Yūto: "Iwagakure is temporarily retreating, but Ōnoki will not give up. You go back to Konoha to recuperate first, and leave it to me here."
Yūto was silent for a moment, and finally sighed, "Okay, anyway, those three old men can drink enough for them."
Tsukimi suddenly took a step forward, his voice soft but firm. "I... I will escort Yūto back."
Minato smiled slightly and patted her shoulder, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Early the next morning, on the forest path.
Yūto was wearing a loose cloak and his pace was much slower than usual.
Tsukimi followed him half a step behind, glancing at his pale profile from time to time.
"What are you looking at? There is something on my face?" Yūto noticed her gaze and turned around to ask.
Tsukimi hurriedly looked away and stammered, "Who, who looked at you! I'm on guard for the surrounding area!"
Yūto chuckled, then frowned due to the wound.
Tsukimi immediately became nervous. "Do you want to take a rest? There is a flat ground ahead..."
"Hey, Tsukimi." Yūto suddenly stopped and looked at her seriously, "Why are you hiding from me?"
The girl froze on the spot. After a long time, she whispered softly, "Because... you are walking too fast. I can't catch up, and I don't have the right to stand by your side."
Yūto was stunned for a moment, then reached out and rubbed her hair, "Idiot, there is more than one way to become stronger."
Kumogakure·Raikage's Office
Bang!
After Ai, who had become Lightning Village, learned that Yūto defeated Ōnoki and two Jinchūriki, he smashed the desk with a punch.
"That Uchiha kid from Konoha can actually defeat that old stubborn Ōnoki?!"
He was so shocked by the news that he even opened Lightning Release Chakra Mode unconsciously.
The secretary on the side sighed, "Lord Raikage, the information is true, Ōnoki was seriously injured and retreated, Four-Tails and Five-Tails Jinchuriki also suffered heavy losses."
Raikage snorted coldly, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. "Huh, it seems Konoha has another monster."
He was silent for a moment and said to his secretary, "Pass this order, the training intensity of all new generation ninjas will be doubled! Especially Yugito Nii, let her master the Perfect Jinchuriki mode as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
Although Raikage is dissatisfied in words, he has already acknowledged the threat of Yūto in action.
The last time he met Yūto, Yūto was just Elite Jonin of Three Tomoe. Unexpectedly, even the old man Ōnoki couldn't suppress him now.
Kirigakure
Karatachi Yagura stood in front of the window, looking at the sea in the distance, holding in his hand the intelligence Scroll that had just been delivered.
Now Yagura has almost become the talker of Kirigakure.
Third Mizukage, who initiated Blood Mist Plan, is seriously ill and is about to die. Now Kirigakure's affairs, large and small, have been handed over to Yagura.
And Yagura is also Fourth Mizukage selected by Genji, which is the same as the selection process of Mei Terumi in the original work.
"Master Yagura, this is a good thing for us." Qing stood aside and analyzed calmly, "Once Iwagakure is defeated, Konoha's attention will not be on us."
"Besides, we just signed Peace Agreement with Konoha. Konoha probably won't take the initiative to tear up the agreement."
Yagura nodded slightly, a trace of happiness flashed in his eyes. "Fortunately we ended the war early, otherwise..."
He didn't continue, but Qing understood what he meant.
If Kirigakure did not choose to end the war at that time, but continued to be the enemy of Konoha, the Uchiha Yūto who could single out three Jinchūriki would probably become Kirigakure's nightmare.
The whole village may have been blown away by Uchiha Yūto.
"Send the order and tighten border security, but don't take the initiative to provoke Konoha."
Sunagakure·Kazekage's Office
"Bastard!" Rasa slammed the information Scroll to the ground, his face was terrifyingly gloomy.
"Ōnoki That loser! How can you lose three against one?!" He gritted his teeth, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness.
Baki on the side frowned and said, "Lord Kazekage, the situation is not good for us now. Shukaku is still in Yūto's body, and we may not be able to take it back in a short time..."
Rasa turned around suddenly. "Is this the end of it?!"
Baki was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, "We can only endure it for now. Iwagakure is defeated and Konoha's momentum has greatly increased. If we act rashly, we will only destroy ourselves."
Rasa took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "Send the order to strengthen border defense and at the same time... accelerate the progress of that plan."
Baki's eyes flashed, he nodded and left.
In the dark underground cave, Black Zetsu slowly emerged from the ground, "Obito, Uchiha Yūto's strength has exceeded expectations."
It is different from the original work. In the original work, Madara Uchiha is not dead yet, but because of the appearance of Yūto, Madara goes to Pure Land one step ahead.
Madara's initial plan to personally teach Obito was also shelved, and instead adopted Transcription Seal's method, sealing his life's combat experience in Obito's empty eye sockets.
Obito stood in the shadows. After listening to Black Zetsu's information, he snorted coldly, "Huh, I just defeated a few old guys."
Black Zetsu smiled sadly, "Don't underestimate him, his Mangekyō ability can even be seen through by Ōnoki, and he will definitely become a big problem in the future."
Obito was silent for a moment and said coldly, "What is your suggestion?"
"Stay still for now." Black Zetsu whispered, "Let him continue to grow, wait until the right time... and then give him a fatal blow."
Obito snorted coldly, turned around and disappeared into the whirlpool. "Whatever you want, but don't hinder my plan."
Black Zetsu looked at the direction he was leaving, with a sinister smile on his lips.
