Heart of Steel Half-Morph Sword Saint, Madara is willing to call me the strongest

A few hundred meters away from the Wuyin Camp.

Among several lush locust trees, four Root Ninjas stood silently on the thick branches of the locust trees.

There was an expression of indifference without any emotion on the Root Ninja's brow as he looked down indifferently at the war breaking out in the distance.

The leading gray-haired ninja used a special telescope to closely observe the northwest direction of the Hidden Mist camp.

"The combat troops from Kumogakure should be arriving soon."

"According to intelligence from spies planted in the Land of Lightning, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee has also been dispatched."

The other Root ninja had an indifferent look. His voice, though soft, was clearly heard by the other three.

"With the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, plus the four Seven Ninja Swordsmen and a group of jonin, even the Yellow Flash will be powerless."

"It's a pity for that Uchiha brat. If he could have been recruited into the Root..."

"No, no one in the Uchiha family can be trusted. If he is allowed to grow up, he will become a greater threat."

"I share the same opinion as the captain. The Uchiha clan is the biggest threat within Konoha."

As they spoke, several Root ninjas expressed their extreme disgust towards the Uchiha clan.

After observing for a long time, the gray-haired man put away the telescope and said with a hint of expectation: "In this way, after Minato Namikaze dies, Master Danzo can start the plan."

"That's right, Danzo-sama is the most suitable candidate for the position of the next Hokage."

"Only under the leadership of Lord Danzo can Konoha achieve true peace. For the great ideals of Lord Danzo, the lives of Minato Namikaze and others are insignificant."

There was no mercy in the eyes of the four Root ninjas, and their words had already sentenced the seven members of Namikaze Minato's team to death.

After a moment of silence, one of the Root ninjas asked in an emotionless tone: "So, are we going to retreat now? The perception ninjas in Kirigakure are very powerful. If we stay for too long, we might leave traces and be noticed by them."

The gray-haired man shook his head slightly and said in an extremely cold tone: "Wait a minute, that man is Minato Namikaze after all. Although I don't believe he has the ability to break out, we should observe him for a while just in case. Lord Danzo said that we have to see him die in person before the mission is completed."

……

Inside the Mist Camp.

Minato Namikaze's flashing figure was like a flash of yellow lightning.

The "Spiral Flash Super Wheel Dance Roar Type 3" he displayed drew dozens of dazzling tracks in the air, instantly breaking the encirclement set up by dozens of Kirigakure ninjas around him.

Then he used the Shadow Clone Technique and released several Rasengan in succession, blocking the sudden attacks of many Mist Ninja jonin by himself.

The blast raised layers of smoke and dust, making the sky look a little gloomy.

In this chaos, Minato's voice was firm and clear: "Yi, Kakashi, you two lead everyone to retreat first! I will delay the pursuers! I hand over the command to you, Yi!"

"Yes, Minato-senpai!"

Hearing Minato's orders, Uchiha Yi acted without any hesitation and immediately rushed out of the camp protecting Hinata Shiori and others.

However, at this moment, a thin figure suddenly jumped out from the shadows, holding a slender needle-shaped knife in his hand, and his long fluffy yellow spiky hair was dancing wildly in the wind.

"Little brats from Konoha, it's not that easy to leave."

Kurishan Kushimaru stood across the hole in the broken wall, blocking the way of Uchiha Yi and his six companions.

There was no expression on his face, and he did not deliberately reveal any sarcasm, but this emotionlessness revealed a very accurate message, which was undisguised contempt.

Kurishan Kushimaru, who was standing in front of everyone, did not rush to attack. He just stared at Uchiha Yi coldly, like a hunter eyeing his prey.

As for the other little ghosts, he had no interest in them at all and could take them away with just a single knife.

"Oh no, this guy should also be one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. Yi, we..."

Kakashi's expression changed drastically, and cold sweat slowly seeped out from between his brows.

With his current strength, he is definitely no match for any of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

"Damn it, let's go together and fight him!"

Obito clenched his fists and stared at the man in front of him.

"The chakra fluctuations in his body are very strong, far beyond those of ordinary jonin, everyone be careful."

Hinata Shiori's slender eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and her expression looked extremely nervous.

Beside her, Nohara Rin's hands, which were holding the kunai, were slightly pale, and there was a slightly worried look on her face.

"No, just go ahead and I'll stop him."

Uchiha Yi moved and protected several people behind him. He pulled Kakashi's sleeve and said, "Kakashi, your mission is to retreat immediately!"

Hearing Yi's order, Inuzukagawa, Obito and the others looked extremely reluctant. Shiori even bit her lower lip lightly, with worry in her eyes.

"How can we abandon our companions? Absolutely not."

When Obito heard this, he immediately glared at Yi with dissatisfaction.

"Obito, this is an order, don't talk nonsense, now is not the time to act on impulse, Kakashi, don't hesitate!"

Uchiha Yi's voice cut through the noise of the battlefield, "If you stay, it will only distract Minato-senpai and me and make our situation more dangerous."

"I understand."

Kakashi looked at Yi deeply, clenched his fists slightly, and suppressed the impulse in his heart.

"Hey, are you guys treating me like I don't exist?"

Kurishan Kushimaru raised the long knife and sewing needle in his hand, with a cold light flashing in his eyes and revealing a murderous intent.

"Your opponent is me."

Uchiha Yi's eyes flashed, and as he took a step forward with his left foot, his aura suddenly began to rise, sharp and fierce aura penetrated his body, and his body was instantly covered by a layer of faint green light.

"Whoosh-"

The next moment, Uchiha Yi's figure had already rushed towards Kurisan Kushimaru. The chakra ninja sword in his hand was emitting a light blue light, gradually forming a four-inch long silver blade light.

From the perspective of Kakashi and the others, they only saw two figures moving rapidly and fighting each other in close combat, and sparks kept coming out from the collision of metal.

"let's go!"

Kakashi and the others also calmed down at this moment, and all the emotional fluctuations in their hearts were suppressed.

Although they were very unwilling, they also understood that even if they stayed on the battlefield at this moment, they would only be a burden.

Under the cover of Minato Namikaze and Yi Uchiha, the other five people did not encounter too much obstacles on their retreat.

Of course, this is also because the goal of Kirigakure is very clear, which is to keep Minato Namikaze. As for the other Konoha brats, whether they are dead or alive has no impact on the battle situation.

Seeing Kakashi protecting the other four people and gradually evacuating, all the emotions in Uchiha Yi's eyes disappeared and his expression became calm.

Then, we can have a big battle without any worries.

The strength of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen is at least at the quasi-kage level.

The guy in front of me with long yellow spiky hair should be on the lower side in terms of strength among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

His speed is average, but he is extremely strong and his attacks are very ruthless.

"Hmph, Uchiha brat, feel the true power!"

"Shh-"

Kurishan Kushimaru held a long knife and a sewing needle, and swung his right hand violently, causing a sharp whistling sound.

Long Knife·Sewing Needle, the knife is as its name suggests, slender and sharp. The steel wire dragging behind the handle flashes coldly in the sun, as if it is a web of death that can be woven at any time.
