"Argh!"

The moment Minato landed, he had no time to react before a spray of blood erupted from his back.

After realizing that he had been caught by Aizen the instant he activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato immediately reacted and raised his hand to throw out three Flying Thunder God kunai.

Then, he endured the pain and took away his severely injured teammate.

When they reappeared, they were already a hundred meters away.

Suppressing the pain in his back, Minato put down the unconscious Shibi. Sakura, who was nearby, rushed to their side immediately and began to heal them with Medical Ninjutsu.

To be honest, Sakura’s mind was struggling to keep up.

Because ever since graduating from the Academy, she had never encountered such a dire situation.

If she hadn’t just witnessed her companions grievously wounded...

Perhaps she might have even forgotten she had ever learned Medical Ninjutsu.

"Are...are you okay?"

Sakura, who was treating Minato, couldn't stop the tears from her eyes.

She knew that if she failed here...

The Yondaime Hokage of Konoha would undoubtedly perish here, and her teammate, Uzumaki Naruto, will definitely disappear too due to the changes in this past.

Moreover, with the loss of the Yondaime Hokage, Konoha itself would undergo catastrophic changes.

Perhaps the night of the Kyubi Rampage would never happen, or perhaps Konoha would fall and cease to exist.

In short.......

A massive disaster has happened!!

“Wuuu…”

"Yon... please, you absolutely cannot die here!"

Sakura cried while giving treatment. She felt that even if her parents were dying, she would not have cried as sadly.

"Stay strong. We still have a chance."

When Minato heard the girl behind him crying so sadly, he immediately spoke to comfort her.

He could roughly guess in his heart that the reason the girl was crying might be because she was acquainted with his future son.

"It’s alright. You should retreat with the others first..."

"I’ll find a way to hold that guy off."

Minato turned around and gave the girl a thumbs up, looking at her with a reassuring smile on his face.

At this moment, Sakura felt as though the man before her was bathed in a radiant light, leaving her momentarily dazed.

However, she quickly shook her head and shouted loudly, "No!!"

"If anyone stays behind, it should be you taking them to safety!"

Sakura insisted stubbornly, then raised her hand to point at the wary Mukade nearby and said, "That guy and I will stay behind to buy time for everyone!"

Mukade: “???”

Mukade, who had been contemplating an escape plan, was stunned on the spot.

‘Wait…’

‘What the hell is wrong with you?!’

‘I never said I wanted to stay! Why do you say such things on my behalf?!’

"I don't agree!!"

Mukade immediately stepped forward, making it clear he had no intention of sacrifice himself.

‘My life belonged to the Cult Leader!’

‘I still have great uses!’

‘How could I die in vain in a place like this!’

When Sakura heard Mukade say this, her tears instantly stopped in anger.

"Mukade! Look at him carefully!"

"Doesn’t he seem familiar to you?!"

During the earlier battle, Mukade hadn’t had the chance to observe their reinforcements closely. But now, at her words...

‘Hiss…’

‘Konoha’s Shinobi?’

‘Yellow hair?!’

In that instant, his Cult Leader’s majestic appearance overlapped with the man before him.

Mukade’s knees buckled and he fell to his knees.

‘No!’

‘If Cult Leader’s father died here...’

‘Then our holy teachings and all of our efforts will cease to exist!!’

‘This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed!!’

"My lord! Please, leave this place!"

"Leave everything to us!"

Mukade stood up again and bowed respectfully in Minato's direction, his eyes revealing a determination he had never shown in his life.

He, Mukade, a core member of the Cult Mechanicus, will never become the sinner who doomed their future!

Minato was completely confused by this guy's sudden change in attitude.

He really wanted to ask why, but he was worried that his talkativeness would change the future.

From a distance, Aizen watched with mild amusement.

He knew the weak always loved to perform these touching little dramas.

He doesn't despise it, as it allows him to have a clearer understanding of himself.

Aizen stepped forward leisurely, his expression still as indifferent as when he came, as if the people before him were nothing more than fleeting distractions.

"Have you finished discussing?"

"Will you leave? Or stay?"

"I don't mind waiting a little longer."

"There is actually not much difference between sweeping up one speck of dust and sweeping up two specks of dust."

His tone was indifferent, but several people at the scene felt a little breathless.

The sheer weight of his presence was overwhelming.

Minato's palms that were holding Flying Thunder God kunai had become wet without him knowing when. Feeling the injury on his back, he decided to stay and continue fighting.

After all...

Behind him is the entire Shinobi World!

There is no turning back now!

Sakura took out a shotgun from a sealing scroll, loaded it quickly, and stood in front of Minato.

"Namikaze Minato! Go!"

"Find a way to call for reinforcements... Mukade and I still have a trump card..."

When Mukade heard the girl's words, a question mark popped up in his head.

‘A trump card?’

‘Seriously?’

But after seeing the grim determination on the pink-haired girl’s face, he realized it was a well-intentioned lie.

"Minato, take Shibi and go."

Choza, who is standing next to him, stretched out his hand, patted Minato on the shoulder, and indicated that he wanted to stay too.

But since Minato has decided to stay and fight, and his will is not something that can be swayed by the others.

He took out a few Flying Thunder God kunai and proved his determination with his actions.

Seeing this from a distance, Aizen watched with an amused smile, shaking his head slightly.

"Do you know..."

"How difficult it is to step on ants without crushing them?"

"That level of control... is truly hard to master."

Minato's temper was somewhat aroused by the other party.

For some reason, he really wanted to shut this bastard Aizen’s mouth for good.

‘But...’

‘I can kill this guy with that move, right?’

Minato suddenly remembered that when he used Flying Thunder God Technique earlier, Aizen had exploited the moment he landed to strike.

That is to say...

He can take that opening to use the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.

With that thought in mind, Minato’s expression hardened and he began to form hand seals.

After a few seconds, the spectral figure of the Shinigami gradually appeared behind Minato.

"Interesting."

"It's actually somewhat similar to the power of Soul Society."

Aizen drew his sword and severed Minato's connection with the Shinigami with a single slash.

"What!?"

"How is this possible?”

Minato was stunned when he realized that his Forbidden Technique had been interrupted.

He had never heard of anyone being able to directly destroy a Forbidden Technique that had already been activated.

Swoosh…

Aizen flashed and appeared beside Minato, their shoulders barely brushing.

And in that moment, a large amount of blood splattered all over Minato’s body, painting the sky crimson.

When Sakura saw this scene, she fell to her knees on the spot, her mind collapsing.

Her hands pressed into the dirt, her tears falling like rain as she screamed her teammate’s name, "Naruto... Come quickly..."

"Please...!"

"NARUTO!!!"

Sakura’s desperate cry reached the sky, but Aizen paid it no mind.

He glanced at the remaining survivors, and then said lightly, "The vacancy in your world has ended."

"From this day forth, I will be the one standing on..."

Unfortunately, before Aizen could finish his words, a terrifying sound of tearing air was heard around him.

Whoosh…

"What the hell!!"

"Aizen Sosuke, I'LL F*** YOUR WHOLE FAMILY!!"
