Third Person POV
Uzushiogakure, Year 42.
...
...
While the Zetsus were more stunned by seeing the Susanoo than realizing that the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tailed Fox had achieved perfect control, some of them quickly left the place to warn their master.
In the middle of the battlefield, the Susanoo was surrounded, and the Kumo ninjas launched their jutsus in mass against Mikoto. She moved the four arms of the Susanoo, massacring all the ninjas around her, exploding the ground with the swords.
It was a scene of war that even frightened the Uzumakis, while no enemy could pierce that condensed yellow chakra armor around the Uzumaki with a Sharingan that the majority there did not even know existed beyond the 3 tomoe.
Fukasaku and Shima had left Minato's shoulders, as he had sent them directly to assist Mikoto. Since he was physically fighting with the Raikage, it would be dangerous for them to remain on Minato's shoulders.
The chief toads launched flames and water into the middle of the Kumo ninjas, supporting Mikoto and the Uzumakis, and emitted other sound techniques to confuse the enemies and assist the allies.
Minato shifted his gaze, seeing that the situation had turned in their favor. The Uzumaki were managing to hold their ground and now had the advantage, massacring the Kumo ninjas.
His gaze then returned to the movement ahead of him, when the Raikage charged at him.
Minato tightened his fist, the armament haki becoming stronger, and advanced as well. The two collided at the same time, striking each other head-on: blue thunder on one side, due to the Raikage's chakra cloak, and black thunder on the other, as Minato's own haki manifested against his opponent's strength.
The lightning exploded through the area with a wave of wind that dragged everything around. The unconscious bodies on the ground were pushed away. Some ninjas, even while fighting in the area against the Uzumakis and Mikoto, could not help but watch the clash between Minato Namikaze and the Raikage.
"Damn... what is this, boy?!" The Raikage growled, his voice dry and filled with frustration. Those black fists were filled with a power unknown to the leader of the Hidden Cloud.
He watched his fist being pushed back by the impact, stunned by the fact that not even in raw strength could he defeat that boy who wasn't even twenty years old. Yet, he was surpassing all of them.
What kind of monster had Konoha created? And worse... one they couldn't even control, since Minato had abandoned the village.
Minato said nothing. He simply forced his fist forward, making the Raikage retreat. He propelled his body forward and struck the Raikage's stomach with such force that the Kage felt the bones in his arm reaching their limit. In the next moment, he lost to the boy—Minato pushed him, forcing him to open a defense.
Minato advanced and struck his chest with a powerful punch, making the Hokage feel the bones in that area breaking, the ribs around his abdomen seemed to shatter, and the Raikage seemed to lose the air in his lungs, spitting blood.
Minato then threw him forward with his fist, sending the Raikage flying like a bullet against the ground and the rocks in front of him once again. Everything shattered with the impact as his body tore through the terrain, being dragged with much greater brutality than before.
If Minato had a higher level with haki, he would have caused far more internal damage and destroyed all the internal organs, since the impact with haki would have exploded the Raikage from the inside...
Even so, Minato landed and looked with satisfaction at his own fist.
He enjoyed fighting that way.
Meanwhile, the Raikage tried to stand again, even more injured, blood dripping from his mouth, frustrated and on the verge of exploding with rage at everything that was happening.
Minato didn't say much. He decided to fight in another way and simply began to shine, while the Raikage charged again, taken by uncontrollable fury. However, as soon as he got closer, Minato shone like a beacon, an explosion of light so intense that it outshone even the sun on that side of the island.
The explosion of light caught the Raikage completely off guard. That was not Genjutsu — it was pure light, illuminating everything around. By closing his eyes to protect himself, the Raikage made a mistake.
He felt another punch hit his chest. The source of the light was right above him, striking him with a fist covered in haki and crushing his lungs, throwing him directly into the ground.
The Raikage opened his eyes in anger, buried among the debris, but when he saw the light again, he had no choice but to close them once more — and receive another blow.
Minato pursued him even underground, striking him while his entire body radiated light. It was absurd. The Raikage could do nothing but try to punch the air, unable to see.
He had never trained to fight without using his eyes. He never imagined he would need to. And now, he was facing an opponent who made him practically blind whenever he approached.
How could someone have so many advantages?
Physical strength.
Speed.
Perception.
The ability to transform his body into blackened parts that were highly destructive.
And the ability to become a living lantern, putting everyone around him at a disadvantage just by looking at him.
Most ninjas would simply die before even trying to fight something like that. The Raikage was beginning to understand the kind of monster Konoha had created — and hidden.
If the world had known about this beforehand, all nations would have united in war just to eliminate this one being before he reached the age Minato was now.
There were many variables in that war that no one had considered. Variables that not even he, nor his fellow Kages, could predict.
There was a perfect Jinchūriki of the most powerful bijuu.
An Uchiha with a strange ability capable of creating a yellow giant with impenetrable defense, with a Sharingan different from the other Uchihas.
Tsuna Senju's daughter, who possessed Sage Mode.
But among all of them, no one compared to the boy.
Not even a perfect Jinchūriki — seemed as troublesome as Minato Namikaze.
And the Raikage was being beaten by him at that very moment.
Feeling his bones breaking one by one.
Trying to escape, to force his muscles, to breathe — anything. But the light still blinded his eyes. And he could do nothing for a while except take the beating from the boy in a contest of brute strength. Who would have thought that one day the Raikage himself would be beaten by the fists of a youth.
He stepped on the ground and, in the same instant, the Raikage tore through the earth below trying to escape. Minato went after him. Before the Raikage could emerge, he received a punch straight to the face, feeling his jaw split and his teeth being ripped out, blood spraying everywhere.
The Raikage dragged himself along the ground, while the boy's light finally began to fade. Minato walked across the battlefield toward him.
The Kumo ninjas watched the scene from a distance while they desperately fought against the yellow giant of the Uchiha girl with strange eyes. Even so, for everyone, it was clear what was happening to their leader: they could only see the light shining on that side of the coast, entering and emerging from the ground. And then, from within the flash, only the blond boy appeared, walking calmly toward a devastated area with no sign of their leader.
The leader of Kumo stood up from the wreckage, frustrated. His body was drenched in blood. Although the lightning cloak still surrounded him, it was damaged and unstable. He breathed with difficulty, his mouth pouring blood nonstop.
Minato stared at him in silence. He raised his hand. His sword manifested. "It's time to end this, Raikage."
The Raikage ground the few teeth he had left, teeth that could barely be seen with so much blood spilling from his mouth at that moment.
He tried to think of something — anything — to deal with that boy.
Minato turned into light again. A flash brighter than before, almost like a sun right there. And since light was faster than any movement, the Raikage didn't even have time to close his eyes.
The flash blinded him.
That was all Minato needed. He appeared before the Raikage in a blink — or less than that — and cut his neck.
It was a clean cut.
The lightning armor was useless against the blade shaped with chakra and armament haki.
It was like cutting butter.
The Raikage's head fell. The body, in the next instant, collapsed to the ground.
The Kumo ninjas froze.
The Raikage was dead.
Minato took the Raikage's head, shone again, and reappeared in the sky, holding the head of the leader of Kumo by the hair. He raised it above everyone.
"Your leader is dead. You have two choices: retreat now... or I enter the battlefield. And believe me, I will massacre all of you."
He dropped the head. It fell spinning, striking the ground near Mikoto and the Uzumaki.
The impact echoed louder than the screams. The Kumo ninjas swallowed hard. The fighting ceased. No one dared attack with Minato there.
Minato could massacre them all, but it would also bring more deaths to the Uzumaki — this was not the time.
There was despair, frustration, hatred and anger; hatred was the feeling that predominated among the Kumo ninjas toward Minato at that moment. But he didn't care. This was war, and hatred would always prevail. Still, he gave them a choice.
Minato's blue eyes turned directly to the Raikage's son, who trembled with rage while crying at the sight of his dead father. Killer Bee stood beside him, cautious about the situation. Minato stared at them, waiting to see what A's reaction would be: whether they would all die there or retreat. He had already done his part — he had devastated Kumogakure's power to the point of making it a lesser threat to Konoha.
"Retreat! We must retreat!" A shouted, finally, before casting one last glance at his fallen father beside the Uzumaki.
"I want my father's body." — the complaint was directed straight at Minato.
"Give him the body." Minato didn't bother to take the enemy leader's corpse.
Some Kumo ninjas went to the area where Minato and the Raikage had fought, grabbed his torso and returned, while others took hold of the head that had been thrown. They placed the body inside one of the withdrawal scrolls and began to run.
The son looked one last time at Minato with pure hatred, as if promising he would make the boy pay. Minato didn't care. If that young man became a problem in the future, he would eliminate him; for now, it might be useful to maintain a fragile peace between the nations.
Minato landed beside Mikoto's Susanoo as it began to dissolve, with the Kumo ninjas running toward the sea lamenting — they were only 1,600 now.
"We're done here, then." Mikoto said; she didn't even have the chance to transform the Susanoo completely.
Kumogakure had not used the Eight-Tails either; it didn't seem like a sensible choice for them. Minato pondered: certainly Kumo would demand the location of the Two-Tails' jinchūriki later, but for now there was no need to discuss it.
"We're done here, but we have another front. Suna's." — Minato observed. — It seems Iwa was retreating as well, but Suna is gaining an advantage in the south. They've reached the coast and are invading parts of the Uzumaki territory.
Minato looked toward the south of the island. "I'll deal with the situation there. You stay here with the Uzumaki to make sure they don't return or use the Two-Tails." He spoke in a serious tone as Mikoto nodded.
Minato disappeared from there and reappeared in the southern field. He shone and advanced across the sky, confronting the enemy advance.
"It's time to test a few techniques." — He murmured, thinking about the power of light.
Minato focused, and several clones began to appear around him. They were not shadow clones nor made of ordinary chakra; they were light clones, made entirely of light, perfect copies of him.
"Let's end this." — with these words, all the clones began to advance. Suna didn't even know what was coming for them.
