In an instant, the ninjas inside the Konoha camp surrounded Minato and cheered.

Before long, the main force of Konoha on the front lines returned to their camp. After learning from their comrades that Minato had single-handedly killed dozens of elite Iwagakure members, they also looked at Minato with admiration.

However, since the Konoha Ninja had already witnessed the even more monstrous Kōki, while they greatly admired Minato's strength, they did not idolize him.

So, after a period of cheering, things returned to normal.

After the crowd cheering for Minato dispersed, Jiraiya slowly approached Minato, patted him hard on the shoulder with his Minato hand, and said with a smug smile, "Hahaha, Minato, well done. I knew you could do it."

Before Minato could react, he couldn't help but burst into laughter twice more, "Haha, as expected of my Toad Sage's disciple."

It's clear that Minato's performance this time really made Jiraiya very proud.

That makes sense, though. Minato is his personal disciple, his closest relative. The better Minato performs, the more face he gains. It's like how parents are happy when their child gets excellent grades at school.

Watching Jiraiya laugh triumphantly, Minato felt a bead of cold sweat trickle down his Minato, and he gave an awkward laugh. Even though he respected Jiraiya greatly, he still wasn't quite used to his teacher's unrestrained and bold manner. However, he didn't dislike it, because he knew that Jiraiya proud of him.

" Jiraiya- sensei, how's the situation on the battlefield?"

"It's alright, it's alright. Although we've lost a strong ally like you, with the Toad Sage on the battlefield, those guys from Iwagakure can only run away. However, their sudden attack on our logistics forces this time really startled me. We certainly can't underestimate Iwagakure."

When talking about the situation on the battlefield, Jiraiya's expression immediately turned serious, and his eyes sharpened.

He hadn't reacted in time during the battle, and now that he thought about it, it really made him shudder.

If the Iwagakure people really destroy the logistics camp, then Konoha will have truly lost this war.

Moreover, it's not just the Iwagakure battlefield that's experiencing problems; there will be a chain reaction on the Kumogakure side as well, and even the Sunagakure, which has already ceased its activities, and the Kirigakure, which has been relatively quiet, will experience unrest.

Then Konoha will be in real trouble.

Jiraiya couldn't possibly guess what Minato was thinking, but he was satisfied that he could tell from Jiraiya's expression that Konoha hadn't suffered any losses.

"That's good, Jiraiya- sensei."

While Konoha was celebrating, the atmosphere in Iwagakure was quite serious.

With their plan to raid Konoha's logistics failing, Iwagakure hastily retreated to their positions.

Kitsuchi was now filled with dissatisfaction and anger; he couldn't understand how his meticulously prepared plan had gone wrong.

Therefore, upon returning to the Iwagakure camp, he immediately berated the retreating elite ninja. "What happened to you all? The village sent over a hundred elite ninjas to attack Konoha's logistics forces for the success of this plan, and you returned in disgrace without accomplishing anything, losing nearly half your manpower. Are you all useless?"

Kitsuchi was furious. He couldn't understand how his well-laid plan had suddenly failed.

It's important to understand that besides Jiraiya, there aren't any particularly noteworthy strong individuals in Konoha right now, and he's done a good job of holding Jiraiya on the battlefield.

Even so, the plan still failed. He had no other explanation but to conclude that the Iwagakure troops he had dispatched were incompetent.

At this moment, someone spoke up, " Lord Kitsuchi, it's not that we're useless, it's just that Konoha is too treacherous, and they're hiding a powerful ninja. When we fought him, he was incredibly fast, killing many of our comrades in the blink of an eye. Otherwise, we wouldn't have suffered such a defeat."

"Yes, Lord Kitsuchi, that blond ninja was as fast as lightning. We didn't even see his movements before many people fell. If we hadn't reacted quickly and retreated in time, I suspect our entire elite force might have been slaughtered by him."

Upon hearing the discouraging words from his subordinates, Kitsuchi, whose anger had subsided considerably, was instantly enraged again, but he forcibly suppressed his anger.

Knowing that simply getting angry wouldn't solve the problem, he asked, "Do you mean another Kage Level ninja has appeared in Konoha?"

"Yes, Lord Kitsuchi," the Iwagakure members who had fought against Minato answered in unison.

Hearing what the returning elite ninjas said, Kitsuchi's anger subsided considerably, replaced by a faint sense of unease.

Another Kage Level shikigami has appeared in Konoha?

This is not good news for Iwagakure, which has temporarily lost two Tailed Beast.

"Who is this newly emerged Kage Level? Is there any information about him in our intelligence?" Since it seemed that a new Kage Level ninja had appeared in Konoha, Kitsuchi couldn't care less about blaming the ninjas below and quickly asked.

He wanted to know some information, to see who this newly emerged Konoha powerhouse was, and whether he was registered in Iwagakure.

In response to Kitsuchi's questions, they told Kitsuchi, word by word, about Minato's general appearance and how the Konoha Ninja addressed Minato.

After hearing the Iwagakure members describe Minato's general situation, Kitsuchi Tu immediately searched his memory for information about Minato Namikaze.

Soon, a golden figure appeared in his mind.

Minato Namikaze, Elite Jonin of Konoha, displayed exceptional ninja talent from a young age and was on Iwagakure's assassination list.

The assassination list contains the names of geniuses from other Iwagakure villages; those on this list are targets for assassination by Iwagakure.

"Do you know what kind of moves he used to defeat you?"

Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory. Now that Minato Namikaze has become Kage Level, it's essential to understand his strengths so that we won't be caught off guard when we encounter him on the battlefield.

His question stumped the ninjas, because they didn't know what kind of Ninjutsu Minato was using.

"I'm sorry, Lord Kitsuchi. We don't know what technique Minato Namikaze used either. We only know that he was very fast, like a Yellow Flash, making it difficult to react."

" Yellow Flash?"

The subordinate's description made Kitsuchi fall into deep thought.

It was from this moment that Minato's title of "Yellow Flash" began to appear on the battlefields of Iwagakure, and his fame resounded throughout the entire Shinobi World as he repeatedly repelled Iwagakure.

At the same time, because of Minato's power, he was given a special order that if he encountered the Yellow Flash, he could voluntarily abandon the mission without being punished.
