"No...I'll go and bring them back myself!"

Having said that, he activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and teleported away.

Minato left temporarily, but Naruto and Sasuke weren't idle either.

Led by Kakashi and other Jonin, they began to resettle the surviving villagers.

While the Konoha faction was busy, the remaining four Kage were temporarily free.

They looked at each other, having obviously heard the conversation.

Raikage pondered for a moment: "Do you guys recognize the name Yuugetsu?"

Judging from Naruto and Minato's expressions, they practically regarded that person as their savior.

It seems that as long as he takes action, everything can be easily resolved.

The problem is, Konoha has been razed to the ground...

No matter how powerful he is, he can't turn back time, can he?

Ohnoki tried to remember.

Searching through his long memories, he finally shook his head: "I have no recollection of it, and I've never heard of it before."

Luo Sha also stated that he was unaware of the matter.

Even the old-fashioned Onoki didn't recognize him, so naturally he couldn't possibly know.

At this moment, Mizukage Terumi Mei, who had been largely ignored, thoughtfully uttered an "Oh," drawing the attention of the three.

"Water Shadow, do you have any unique insights?"

Mei Terumi smiled gently: "I think I know this handsome young man~"

"Tell me about it!"

The three men's eyes lit up; it seemed they had something interesting to report.

Mei Terumi crossed her arms and slowly began to speak:

"He's a pretty handsome young man, but he's a bit...mature."

"The Hokage spoke highly of him, calling him Konoha's number one genius."

After saying that, Mei Terumi stopped talking and changed her posture to continue standing.

Raikage was still not satisfied:

"that's it?"

Mei Terumi shrugged: "That's all. That's all I know. I only met him once on the day I arrived in Konoha."

"Let me investigate further; maybe I can find out some of its strengths and weaknesses. But for now..."

She smiled, her meaning clear.

Raikage frowned; there wasn't much to be gleaned from this information.

"Don't rush. Since the Hokage trusts him so much, let's just wait and see."

Onoki looked completely unfazed.

His men suffered the fewest casualties, after all, earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that is second to none in terms of defense).

Regardless of the outcome, even if everyone eventually goes back to their own homes, Iwagakure will not suffer any loss.

Chapter 157 Rewinding Time

However, there is a small problem with Iwagakure.

"Has Deidara not been found yet?"

Onoki asked the yellow earth beside him in a low voice.

"Not yet, not a single word." Huang Tu shook his head.

Onoki wasn't too worried. "Alright, let's put this on hold for now. That kid is extremely immune to explosions."

"You won't get blown up."

"Wait for him to come back on his own."

Deidara's physical structure is very different from that of ordinary people, and he can produce explosive clay.

The explosive clay he used was not a bloodline limit, but a unique secret technique.

Deidara refers to himself as "My Explosion Release".

Thanks to this unique physique, he has a high resistance to explosions and cannot be easily killed by them.

Therefore, Onoki was not too worried.

“Yes, Father.” Huang Tu nodded, then stepped aside.

Onoki turned his gaze toward Konoha, wondering if Deidara had been buried somewhere.

From beginning to end, he never doubted Deidara, the mastermind behind the explosion.

He had seen Deidara's explosive power before; Deidara's most powerful ninjutsu was "C3-18".

At most, it would only destroy a village, with an blast radius of several hundred meters, which is not even in the same league as this.

He certainly wouldn't have thought of Deidara.

With a sharp whistling sound and a golden flash, Minato Namikaze's figure came into view again, accompanied by two Konoha ninjas.

After everyone returned safely, Minato didn't linger and instantly transformed into a streak of light and disappeared.

Then, like a chain reaction, the dispatched ninjas were pulled back one by one by the teleporting light.

Before long, all the ninjas who had gone out to search for survivors returned safely.

Minato Namikaze stepped forward, his eyes deep as he gazed at the vast, boundless lava crater.

"Yuzuki, it's up to you now."

He spoke softly, confident that Shinomiya Yuuki would receive this trust.

Directly above the lava crater, in the sky.

"Everyone has been safely evacuated, right? Alright, I'm ready to begin."

Yuyue nodded silently, muttering to herself.

He clearly received Minato's message; to him, every plant in the world could become his eyes and ears, conveying messages and showcasing his vision.

“Backtracking…”

As Yuuki finished speaking, the pair of Rinnegan eyes, which shone with a deep purple light, suddenly burst into a dazzling brilliance.

The light expanded rapidly, rippling outwards like waves, covering the entire sky.

Immediately afterwards, the suffocating light suddenly contracted, converging into a single line that shot directly into the massive lava sinkhole below.

"Boom—"

Time seemed to be manipulated by an invisible hand, and began to flow backward.

The molten lava seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, rushing downwards and eventually retreating into the abyss below.

The cracked earth slowly mended itself, and the broken mountains were reconnected, as if the earth's wounds were soothed in an instant.

The smoke and dust drifting in the sky are like sand paintings blown away by the wind, gradually returning to the original scenery.

Suddenly, intense flames appeared on the horizon.

The roar was incessant and deafening!

And it was accompanied by a blinding white light that flickered throughout the world.

That was the shockwave generated during the explosion.

Yuyue gently turned her hand, as if she were turning the hands of an invisible clock.

In an instant, the flames from the explosion flowed backward, quickly compressing into a single point, transforming into a black sphere.

Finally, he transformed back into Deidara's drunken state.

"It really was Deidara..."

"Obito was right."

Unexpectedly, this sudden and massive explosion was actually Deidara's doing.

"Is he... drunk?"

Yu Yue stared intently at the drunken figure.

"Tsk, we can't let him touch alcohol so easily anymore. This guy goes too crazy when he gets drunk."

Yuyue was both amused and exasperated. When others got drunk, they would just talk nonsense or cause minor disturbances.

Instead, he just self-destructed!

He blasted the entire Hidden Leaf Village into the sky.

........................

"Look over there!"

"What's going on? How... is the scene rewinding? It's like time is going backwards."

People were horrified to discover that the surrounding environment was rapidly regressing.

The shattered building fragments were gradually pieced together until they were as good as new.

One by one, the vanished houses reappear, along with streets, trees, and lawns.

Even the villagers who had been blown to ashes were restored from the ashes.

Everything familiar reappeared before my eyes, as if nothing had ever happened.

"What...what's going on?"

Raikage was speechless.
