Chapter 223: Beheading Operation

Words : 1310 Updated : Oct 8th, 2025

The sun sets and the moon rises. In the blink of an eye, three days have passed. During these three days, Konoha and Iwa ninjas fought fiercely, both sides suffered heavy losses, but neither gained an overwhelming advantage. On the Iwa side, although they have two powerful weapons, the Four-Tails and Five-Tails Jinchuriki, they dare not fully unleash them. On the Konoha side, although Minato Namikaze has the ability to inflict heavy casualties on the Iwa ninjas, he also dare not act rashly in order to keep an eye on the two Jinchuriki. Therefore, the situation is at a standstill. Now, both sides are looking for a way to break the deadlock. ... Fuuryu Town. In a conference room. All the Konoha Jonin gathered to discuss the next course of action. First, Daimura Yuto reported the results and losses of the past three days. "Everyone, in the past three days, we..." Seimei was not interested in these details. While listening to Yuto's words, he turned his gaze to Minato Namikaze sitting across the table. This was the first time he had been so close to him. In the past three days, due to the tense situation, he had no time to return to the base at the foot of the mountain, so he had not seen Minato. As for before the war started... He did know that Minato had arrived at the base, but for the sake of secrecy, he did not show up. Daimura Yuto only informed them, the Jonin. So, to be precise, this was their first meeting. It has to be said that compared to the cold Orochimaru, Minato's gentle and refined demeanor did give a better impression. In this way, it is not difficult to understand why he was able to surpass Orochimaru when the Fourth Hokage was selected. Although Hiruzen Sarutobi's influence played a part, overall, everyone was more optimistic about Minato. Seemingly sensing Seimei's observation, Minato also looked over. The moment their eyes met, Minato gave a warm smile and nodded to him as a greeting. Seeing this, Seimei also nodded slightly in response, then withdrew his gaze. 'Perhaps... during the Nine-Tails incident, I can consider sparing his life.' 'In this way, the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village can be greatly eased. If handled properly afterwards, it may not be impossible to turn hostility into friendship.' Seimei thought to himself. Although he did not have much sense of belonging to the Uchiha clan, he still bore the Uchiha name and had received a lot of kindness. He was willing to help with some minor efforts. With Minato's personality, after becoming Hokage, he would definitely not deliberately intensify the conflict between the two sides. In this way, with Shisui Uchiha, a relatively rational Uchiha, mediating and persuading Minato to change some of the village's discriminatory policies... Then, the relationship between the two sides would likely improve. After that, it was a matter of relying on the power of time to slowly resolve the conflict. Of course, these were just his thoughts for now. Whether or not to implement them would depend on how much strength he had in a year. As the saying goes, one can only eat as much as one's bowl can hold. If he didn't have enough strength, he wouldn't risk interfering with Minato's fate. At worst, when the Uchiha were about to be exterminated, he could just slap Itachi Uchiha to death. There was no rush. What? You ask what if he still doesn't have enough strength at that time? Then Seimei could only say they deserved to die. If, with the help of the proficiency panel, he still hadn't mastered overwhelming strength by then, it could only mean he had slacked off. In that case, even if he died at the hands of Itachi and Obito, he couldn't blame anyone else. As for saving Minato or the Uchiha clan changing the 'plot'... Sorry, the 'plot' had already changed the moment he came to this world, it was just a matter of whether it was obvious or not. As long as his strength continued to grow, changing the 'plot' was inevitable. After all, this was a world of extraordinary power where strength reigned supreme. The stronger a person was, the naturally greater the disturbance they would cause to the world. Unless Seimei isolated himself and didn't interact with anyone, he would definitely affect the 'plot'. But... Why should he wrong himself? If he had the strength, others should adapt to him, not the other way around. The so-called endurance was for the sake of one day not having to endure anymore. Fearing changes to the 'plot' was never the mentality of the strong. What Seimei wanted to do was not to go with the flow, but to lead the trend. What was so fun about the small world of the ninja world? The universe was so vast, if they had the ability, the five great ninja villages could each occupy a planet. It could only be said that their horizons limited their way of thinking. With such a convenient ability as chakra, they were still fighting over such meager resources in this 'mud pit'. It was simply ridiculous! What Seimei wanted to do was, after having absolute strength, to guide the ninja world's gaze towards the starry universe. After all, our goal was the sea of stars! "Jonin Seimei, what do you think of this plan?" Just as Seimei was lost in his thoughts, Daimura Yuto's voice pulled him back to reality. Seimei was stunned at first, then quickly organized the content he had automatically ignored just now. After a moment of pondering, he nodded and said, "I have no problem." Hearing this, Daimura Yuto nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright, then it's settled. Tonight, Jonin Seimei will lead the team to infiltrate the Iwa camp. Minato, you lead the others to be ready for support." That's right, just now, after Daimura Yuto reported the losses of the base in the past three days, they came up with a plan. Namely, a beheading operation. The mission required a skilled ninja like Seimei to lead a small team of Jonin, infiltrate the Iwa camp, find their command center, then summon Minato to bring people over and directly complete the beheading. At that time, the others would launch an attack on the Iwa ninjas from the outside to cover their retreat. Although this mission had a certain degree of danger, due to his confidence in his own strength, Seimei agreed after only a brief consideration. As for Minato... He had even less objection. Not to mention that his task was not as dangerous as Seimei's, the existence of the Flying Thunder God Technique alone gave him enough confidence to go deep into dangerous territory. Therefore, after Seimei agreed, he also said, "No problem, I'll be ready!" As he spoke, he took out a three-pronged kunai from his ninja tool bag and handed it to Seimei. Seimei took the special kunai and looked closely. He saw a talisman wrapped around its handle with four words written on it: "Sword of Love and Ninja." Seimei knew that this was Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique formula. Unlike the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju's pattern, Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique formula was this line of text. Similarly, this was also a chakra mark. As long as Seimei touched the mark, Minato could sense it. At that time, he could activate the Flying Thunder God Technique and instantly bring people over. It could be said that the probability of success for this plan was extremely high. And this was the reason why Seimei was willing to take the risk. (End of Chapter)
