"understood."

Yu strode into the room, kicked a wine bottle, and with a crash, the remaining wine spilled out... Ignoring the mess, Yu found Shuimen in a corner littered with wine bottles and cigarette butts.

Master Men was wearing a dirty cloak, and the two characters below "Fourth Generation" were so filthy that they were illegible, as if they had been deliberately painted on.

Master Shuimen hung his head, staring blankly at the floor. He had an unshaven beard, chapped lips, and a burning cigarette between his fingers.

This is no longer the yellow flash that strikes fear into the hearts of the enemy; it's clearly a yellow-skinned rat!

After a long while, Master Minato raised his hand and took a dull puff... *snap!* The long ash he had accumulated snapped off and landed on his trousers, revealing sparks that had burned all the way to the filter.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Because the smoke was too thick, Master Minato was choked and coughed violently, but this also made him a little more awake and he noticed the pair of feet standing in front of him.

"..." Master Minato slowly raised his head and saw his former disciple standing in front of him, scrutinizing him with unblinking eyes.

It took him a while to realize: "Ah, it's Obito! You've come to see your useless teacher... hiccup!!"

Minato let out a hiccup and waved his hand, saying, "I have nothing more to teach you! Just carry your holy sword, hold... Kushina, and go save the world for your teacher!"

Chapter 686 A Manifestation of Heaven and Earth, Restoring Order from Chaos!

"Nonsense!" Yu kicked Minato in the chest.

boom!

The walls collapsed, and water gushed out, piercing through several houses...

call out!

Yu flashed over and grabbed him by the collar: "Minato, have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?!"

Minato's eyes flashed, and he vanished in a flash.

Yu felt a chill behind him, ducked to avoid the kunai that was being slashed at him, and a shuriken fell from his sleeve.

Dangdang Dangdang!

In a flash, the two landed on separate houses.

Yu murmured, "Even though my mind isn't working properly, my fighting instincts are still there."

Minato swayed, his eyes glazed over, clearly drunk. He pressed his hand to his burning chest: "Ugh, three of my ribs are broken. No, as expected of my disciple, much stronger than a piece of trash like me, hiccup... Obito, take good care of Kushina, Naruto, and... Kana!"

Yu thought to herself: It seems that his will has been severely damaged. In this state, he will not listen to people properly.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Minato, it's been a long time since we've sparred. Let's take this opportunity to make up for it. I won't lie to you; I won't use the power of the Ten-Tails or the Rinnegan!"

call out!

Yu deactivated the Six Paths Mode and switched his Rinnegan to the Byakugan.

"It's coming!"

Yu leaped from the rooftop, a super-powerful Rasengan condensing in his palm, containing no less chakra than the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball!

—Space-Time Barrier Technique!

*Click!* Minato placed a kunai in his palm, and a spatial barrier formed in front of him, sucking in Yu's Rasengan.

Rumble rumble rumble!!

A crisp explosion echoed dozens of miles away in the mountains behind the imperial city... Shuimen vanished from his spot with a whoosh.

Thud! Yu landed on Minato's rooftop, glaring at the back mountain: "He could have just flown away without a care in the world. Was he worried about the houses being destroyed by the Rasengan? He can't let go of things like that. Saying he doesn't want his wife isn't really true. And what about carrying the 'Holy Sword' to save the world? He's probably just having a fit of chuunibyou!"

Whoosh! Feather escaped into the vortex released by the Byakugan. This was not Kamui, but a space-time jutsu unique to the Byakugan of the Otsutsuki.

In the open space behind the mountain, Yu arrived in front of Minato!

Minato said dejectedly, "Please, just leave me alone!! Let me fend for myself!!"

Yu shook his head: "That won't do. We're best buddies, how can best buddies watch you give up on yourself! Besides, are you trying to shirk responsibility? Anan was lost under your watch, so you have to find him for me in his original form!"

"I...I can't do it! I left the Flying Thunder God mark on Ananda! But I can't find it at all! He must be dead!"

"Neither death nor life is a reason for you to run away!"

Boom! Yu dashed towards the water gate in one stride.

Minato gritted his teeth and swung his kunai!

Clang! Thump! Thump! Thump!

Unable to break the kunai, Yu's fists and feet rained down like raindrops, forcing Minato to retreat repeatedly!

Yu said agitatedly, "What? Is this all you've got? You're not even as good as when we fought before! Have you really resigned yourself to being a piece of trash? Is this how you call yourself Obito Uchiha's teacher?"

Minato closed his eyes, and *bang!* The shadow clone hidden in the shadows disappeared. His retreating steps suddenly stopped, golden eyeshadow appeared, and his open eyes had become the horizontal pupils unique to toads!

Myoboku Sage Mode!

—Frog Kumite!

Bang! !

The shockwave formed by the power of nature knocked the feather back.

Minato held one kunai in his mouth and six kunai between his fingers, then threw them all at once.

—Fairy Technique: Spiral Flash Super Wheel Dance Roar Four Forms!

Bang bang bang bang!

Minato appeared and disappeared in quick succession, and with each appearance, a flashbang exploded, its golden light trailing behind, completely blocking Byakugan's vision and launching a surprise attack. Everything happened in the blink of an eye!

Faced with a close-range attack from all directions, Yu's feet spun violently, creating airflow, and at the same time, he released chakra from all the acupoints in his body!

——Baguazhang·Returning to Heaven!

Boom! A massive vortex of chakra shattered all of Minato's attacks!

Wow!

With a kunai in his mouth, Minato retreated rapidly. With a sharp cutting sound and a violent explosion, wind and fire jutsu mixed with sage chakra quickly condensed and spun in his hands!

As the air currents dissipated, the feathered hand, wielding a longsword glowing red from the Myoken Shrine, approached!

Buzzing sounds filled the air as Minato conjured a Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken in his left hand and a Sage Art: Fire Release: Rasenshuriken in his right!

Wind and fire can enhance each other, multiplying their destructive power!

No matter how powerful a ninja is, they cannot withstand the combined attack of these two Rasenshuriken head-on. It is no exaggeration to say that even those with the strong bodies of the Third and Fourth Raikage are no exception.

Yu, with his Six Paths Body, could certainly withstand it, but he had said beforehand that he would not use the power of the Six Paths or the Rinnegan!

So even Yu would be injured if he took this hit... but only if it landed!

Seeing Yu get close, Minato attacked with both hands!

hum!hum!

Sage Art: Fire Release: Rasenshuriken and Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken came from both flanks.

Yu Baiyan had already seen through the trajectory of the Spiral Shuriken. He dodged it and was already within three meters of Minato!

Swish! Minato swung his neck forcefully, throwing away the kunai he was holding in his teeth.

Yu turned his head to avoid the kunai, thinking: Hmph, thinking of teleporting into that kunai the moment my sword strikes down and launching a counterattack? Minato's old tricks.

Fine, let's play along!

Swish!

The greatsword cleaved down... Minato disappeared without passing through the kunai!

Yu's pupils contracted slightly: "Is the kunai just an illusion?"

Whoosh! Just as Yu swung his greatsword down, and at the same moment the two spiral shuriken were about to collide, Minato flashed out and regained control of both spiral shuriken!

So that's how it is! He incorporated the Flying Thunder God technique into the chakra of the Rasenshuriken!

In the instant that Yu hesitated after completing the sword-wielding motion!

Minato, carrying two spiral shuriken, emerged from the kunai. In the blink of an eye, not far in front of Minato was Yu's unsuspecting back!

At this distance, it's almost impossible to dodge!

—Immortal Technique: Scorching Escape: Sisters' Union, Success in All Directions, Different Paths Lead to the Same Destination, Tracing Back to the Source, Spiral Shuriken: Playing with the Lords Through Wind and Fire!

At the same time as the second shot was fired, Minato used his superb Body Flicker Technique to retreat dozens of meters away!

Rumble rumble rumble!

A raging storm and a sea of ​​fire are roaring before our eyes!

Minato, who had already exited Sage Mode, was unaware of the figure descending from above. With a loud bang, he was knocked to the ground!

Minato stared in astonishment at Yu, who was pressing down on him, and asked in confusion, "Why?"

Yu said, "You are indeed fast, and your combination of moves is also very ingenious, but the six months you've wasted have caused your reflexes to deteriorate! Your movements are not as agile as before!"

"This has resulted in your technique transitions and some details not being as perfect as before. The fact that I was able to escape your technique using the Byakugan's space-time ninjutsu, which is far slower than Kamui, is the best proof of that!"

"If you hadn't wasted these past six months, I would have been forced to open my Rinnegan and absorb ninjutsu just now!"

Faced with an undeniable defeat, Minato said dejectedly, "So, I'm just a useless coward who can't even take care of a child. That night, I didn't even notice when the enemy approached from behind..."

"Lord Hashirama and Lord Mito had a life full of hardship. Both of their children died tragically. They finally had Ananda, but because of my mistake, he met a terrible end... Even if they don't blame me, I can't forgive myself!"

"And thinking about it carefully, my life is full of stains. I missed the battle of Kannabi Bridge when you died, I missed the attack on Rin in the Village of Blood Mist, I missed the calamity that befell Konoha Village and the deaths of many ninjas, I missed the sacrifice of the Third Hokage, and now... Heh."

At this point, Minato let out two self-deprecating laughs, revealing a sense of desolation.

It turns out that the painful lessons accumulated over a long period of time caused the confident Minato to seriously doubt his own abilities, which in turn triggered some psychological problems.

Yu looked at the dejected Minato. At times like this... it's usually best to comfort him, which is what people jokingly call 'talking it out'!

But is that really a good idea?

Does Minato truly not face his own shortcomings?

Yes... It is precisely because we face ourselves squarely that we begin to doubt our own abilities.

The essence of verbal persuasion, or preaching, is to incite people to affirm their own weaknesses.
