[Not Tsunade's Baby Ninja]: Old hag, that means you're the oldest Hokage in Konoha's history.
[Third Hokage – Hiruzen Sarutobi]: Cough—cough—!
[Trying-to-Look-Young Old Woman – Tsunade]: …???
[Not Tsunade's Baby Ninja]: Then I guess that makes you Konoha's most age-defying Hokage.
For once, Tsunade had no comeback.
It wasn't that she deliberately tried to act young—
But if anyone in Konoha could be accused of defying their age, there really was no better candidate than her.
The Footage Resumes
The Flying Thunder God Technique has no distance limit.The only requirement: a pre-placed formula seal.Minato Namikaze can teleport instantly to any marked location.
In combat, Minato typically used specially crafted kunai engraved with his formula.
He could also mark opponents through physical contact—turning them into living beacons he could teleport to at will.
During the Third Great Ninja War, his signature blond hair and light-speed teleportation earned him the name:
"The Yellow Flash of the Leaf."
Enemy nations even issued a standing order:
If you encounter the Yellow Flash of Konoha—retreat immediately.
Yet even his legendary "one-versus-a-hundred" record wasn't the peak of his feats.
His most breathtaking battle?
His clash against the feared A–B Combo of the Hidden Cloud.
Group Chat
[Fourth Raikage – A] @ [Killer Bee]: Bee! I actually like that—"A–B Combo." Let's make it official!
[Killer Bee]: You got it, bro! I've already cooked up a rhyme for the show!
[Fourth Raikage – A]: Then quit yapping and write it down!
Back to the Footage
You might not recognize "A–B Combo" at first—
But you definitely know:
A — the Fourth Raikage
Killer Bee — the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki
At the time, A had not yet become Raikage, but both he and Bee already possessed Kage-level strength.
From later battles, it's clear they ranked among the strongest of the Kage.Especially A—whose speed, at its peak, rivaled Naruto's Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.
And yet—
Minato faced both of them at once.
And never once fell behind.
The Battle Breakdown
As the fight began, Minato scattered multiple marked kunai across the battlefield—instantly constructing a teleportation network.
A activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode and charged forward at blinding speed.
Minato's body couldn't react in time.
Only his fingers moved—barely managing to release a single kunai.
But that was enough.
In a flash—
Minato vanished.
He reappeared at one of his pre-marked locations, effortlessly evading A's strike.
Before A could even process what happened—
Minato teleported again.
This time, he appeared at the very kunai he had just thrown—and counterattacked.
In a one-on-one scenario, that might have ended the fight.
But A's lightning chakra cloak armored his entire body.
From his later battle with Sasuke, it was evident—even Chidori barely pierced the outer layer.
A simple kunai strike likely wouldn't have been fatal.
That's when Bee stepped in.
A massive Eight-Tails tentacle intercepted Minato's attack.
Now A understood.
Minato could teleport to any marked kunai on the battlefield.
So A memorized every position—planning to intercept Minato the moment he materialized.
But he underestimated two things:
The speed of Flying Thunder God—
And Minato's genius.
This time, Minato didn't teleport to a kunai at all.
He appeared behind Bee.
Earlier, when Bee blocked his kunai with a tentacle—
Minato had secretly placed a mark there.
Brilliant. Calculated. Silent.
Yet Bee was no amateur.
His blade was already poised.
Minato's kunai hovered above Bee's skull.
Bee's sword pressed against Minato's abdomen.
Another second—
And both would have fallen.
But a strike to the back of the head is deadlier than one to the stomach.
Bee grinned.
"It's war. I'm ready. Let's finish this—fair and square."
Minato replied calmly:
"You are my enemy… but you have my respect."
And just like that—
Both sides withdrew.
Though the battle had been shown once before during A's ranking, this version offered deeper tactical analysis.
The audience saw not just speed—
But brilliance.
[Shikamaru Nara]: Seeing it again like this… it's even clearer. Minato's insane.
[Choji Akimichi]: Yeah! That's Konoha's hero! Taking on two Kage-level fighters before even becoming Hokage!
[Hinata Hyuga]: Lord Fourth Hokage is amazing…!
[Naruto Uzumaki]: Of course he is! He's my dad!
[Kushina Uzumaki]: Naruto! Work hard—and become a Hokage even greater than your father!
[Naruto Uzumaki]: I will! And now that there's a way to bring people back—I'll revive you and Dad too!
[Kushina Uzumaki]: You don't have to force that… Just talking to you like this already makes me happy.
But deep down—
She longed to stand beside him in person.
[Naruto Uzumaki]: I'll bring you back. That's my ninja way—I never go back on my word!
[Minato Namikaze]: Keep chasing your dream, Naruto. I believe in you—because you're my son.
[Hashirama Senju]: Naruto! I'm rooting for you!
[Tobirama Senju]: Once revived, I'll personally train you.
[Mito Uzumaki]: Don't let the Uzumaki name fall.
[Naruto Uzumaki]: I won't! I swear!
A brilliant flash filled the screen.
The Next Scene Begins
Three people froze as the image appeared:
Kakashi Hatake
Obito Uchiha
Rin Nohara
Because what appeared on screen—
Was the Battle of Kannabi Bridge.
But this time, it was complete.
Fully narrated.
Impossible to misunderstand.
The Footage Begins
During the Kannabi Bridge mission, Minato led his students:
Kakashi. Obito. Rin.
Their objective:
Destroy the enemy's vital supply bridge.
Minato would attack the front lines.
Kakashi—newly promoted to jonin—would lead Obito and Rin behind enemy lines to demolish the bridge.
When Minato arrived at the front—
Over fifty enemy shinobi surrounded four surviving Konoha ninja.
Minato said calmly:
"Leave this to me. Just throw my marked kunai."
Moments later—
Every enemy had fallen.
Minato rushed to support his students—
Rescuing Kakashi and Rin from encirclement.
But he was too late.
Obito had already fallen.
[Minato Namikaze] @ [Obito Uchiha]: Obito… I failed you as a teacher. If I had arrived sooner, you wouldn't have suffered like that.
[Obito Uchiha]: Sensei… I never blamed you.
[Kakashi Hatake]: Sensei… Obito's death was my fault. If I hadn't—
[Obito Uchiha]: Kakashi, shut up!
You think that makes it better?
On the battlefield, I blamed no one.
I even entrusted you with my eye—to see the future I couldn't.
But what did you do?
You treated it like a burden.
You failed my final wish.
[Kakashi Hatake]: That's not true! Those were just mission report evaluations—not my feelings! I treasured your eye. I wanted to protect the future with it—for both of us!
[Obito Uchiha]: Save it.
Rin's death…
I'll never forgive you for that.
Silence fell.
[Minato Namikaze]: Obito… this was my responsibility. If I had arrived earlier, you would have lived—and Rin too…
The screen flickered—
And the story continued.
