Hearing this, Minato Namikaze hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to accept. Seeing this, Ye Feng immediately pressed him further:
"Now isn't the time to hesitate. Dozens of our fellow villagers are still pinned down back there. Hurry and help them."
Minato Namikaze quickly looked back toward the battlefield. Sure enough, dozens of Konoha Ninja were still desperately trying to break through, but there were even more Sunagakure Ninja. Whenever they shook one off, another would block their way.

He was watching the Tribulation Clouds overhead, feeling that they looked somewhat familiar. After hearing Minato Namikaze's words, he immediately recalled an intelligence report he had read:
