The atmosphere on the front line is not as tense as during World War III. It was originally just a formality to show off their merits to each other. Now that the top leaders of both sides are preparing for peace talks, the atmosphere has become even more relaxed.
The Konoha ninja who was in charge of leading Duke and Minato was the recently famous Uchiha Shisui. He was wearing a green jonin vest, a short sword behind his back, and his black hair made him look particularly energetic. The genes of the Uchiha family were not exaggerated. He was born with a handsome face. Although he was two or three years younger than Duke, he was three times more handsome than Duke.
After all, Duke's face is not handsome at all, although he always emphasizes that he is handsome in a more euphemistic way...
Shisui is truly a clear stream in the Uchiha clan, with a sunny smile that comes from the heart, and none of the condescending attitude of his fellow clansmen. He can easily win the favor of others, and as far as first impression is concerned, he is a reliable companion.
When they reached the boundary between the two countries, Shisui stopped and said, "Seniors, the blockade of the Kumo Ninja is just ahead. My mission ends here. I wish you two complete your mission successfully."
Although Shisui didn't know what mission Duke and Minato were going to perform, he still gave them his heartfelt blessings.
"Then I'll borrow your good words!" Duke nodded and gestured to Shisui: "Although I am not familiar with the Uchiha clan, I still have to say that you are very different. You are the most special Uchiha I have ever seen."
"Then how do you think I compare to the first generation?" Duke turned his head and asked a question that made Minato dumbfounded. "This... this... this is probably... After all, the first generation is the god of ninja..." Minato stuttered. He recognized Duke's strength, but he didn't dare to say whether he could compare with the first generation.

"The only difference between me and the first generation is physical fitness. He will never die in a battle." Duke said longingly, then said confidently: "But in terms of other things, whether it is bloodline or chakra, I am confident that I am not far behind him, so why can't I be compared with him. Minato-san, Jiraiya-sensei once told me that the world of the strong must be arrogant. Being strong is being strong, and there is no need to use low-keyness to cover up one's humility..."
The defense of the Hidden Cloud Village on the periphery was very loose. Duke and Minato easily avoided several hidden sentries with their extraordinary perception. On the way, Minato was still muttering about Shisui.
Shisui felt a little embarrassed when he said this, the Uchiha people are arrogant in their bones, those arrogant people never look people in the eye, speak through their noses, and are very frugal with words as if everyone owes them two million.
"That's just what it should be!"
"Do they want the eye roll so badly?"
"Lightning Release: Pseudo Darkness!"
"Focus your fire and kill that giant wolf!"
The Land of Lightning is indeed one of the top military powers in the ninja world. The military quality of the Cloud Ninjas is beyond doubt. In just a few breaths, the commanders and captains were ready to meet the enemy.
"Brother Minato, sometimes being too humble is also a form of pretense. We are all brothers and sisters, so please don't play that trick on me." Duke smacked his lips.
Duke scratched his chin. If they really followed Minato's method, Konoha would be able to fight back against the Cloud Ninja very quickly, and then they would have to talk at the negotiation table again. It was possible that Hizashi would really die here.
In fact, Minato was still being modest. He possessed half of the Nine-Tails, and his status as a Jinchūriki definitely surpassed that of the Second Hokage.
The Uchiha are not bad at speaking, but they simply cannot speak human language.
In the world of ninja, ninja villages are the standard for measuring a country's military strength. The desolate Kingdom of Hot Springs is undoubtedly now a synonym for weakness and vulnerability. With the ninja armies of the Thunder and Fire countries approaching, this country dares not even say a word of protest.
"Brother Minato, what do you think the chances of the First and Second Hokage winning against the Cloud Ninjas ahead if they join forces?" Duke licked his lips and laughed.
In the world of Naruto, it is impossible to tell who is better without a fight, but Minato also has his own pride. He thinks that his Flying Thunder God Technique is better than his master. Maybe his ability to develop forbidden techniques is not as good as the second generation, but he still has a trump card in sealing techniques.
Shisui was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Senior, you are too kind. In fact, the tribesmen are all cold on the outside but warm on the inside. They are very good people. They don't intend to alienate everyone, they are just not good at speaking."
When Duke and Minato released their chakra, ninjas at the Cloud Ninja camp discovered them. Urgent alarms rang through the sky. The Cloud Ninjas, who were ready to go, ran out of the tent and immediately saw Hades, who was as big as a hill.
Minato did not dare to be careless. Although the Cloud Ninja Army was still half the length of the Land of Hot Water away from the Konoha position, given the ninja's mobility, this distance was not safe.
“Bang——————”
In the territory of the Kingdom of Hot Springs! Yes, the war between the countries of Thunder and Fire still took place on the soil of a small country. The Kingdom of Hot Springs, which survived in the cracks, was really pitiful. The once top-ranked Hot Spring Village in the ninja world was now on the decline. The village's ninjas were in a short supply because they were squeezed out by Konoha and Kumogakure and had no money to train the next generation, and ended up with only two or three big cats and small cats.
Duke chuckled twice without saying anything, concealing his aura and stepping into the Cloud Ninja camp. Minato also admired this special Uchiha. He nodded goodbye to him and caught up with Duke who had gone ahead.
"Lightning Release: Earth Walk!"
Duke also saw the clue. The Cloud Ninja had no intention of negotiating peace at all, or rather, they were planning to take advantage of Konoha's relaxed vigilance and march straight in to create a trend of a major war, forcing Konoha to surrender at the negotiating table.
"Lightning Release: Thunderfall!"
"Lightning Release: Gratitude Wave!"
"Wind Style: Net!"
Duke's eyes sparkled, and he asked with a smile: "Brother Minato, how far do you think you are from the Second Hokage?"
"This doesn't look like they're preparing for peace talks..." Minato muttered to himself. Having been through many battles, he smelled a different scent in the air, it was the smell of gunpowder from war.
In Duke's opinion, Shisui and his brother-con are the real Hokage, and their noble character makes people feel ashamed. When it comes to dedication to the village, few people can compare with them, but it is particularly ironic that one of them died before achieving success, and the other died with the infamy of a traitor.
The two brothers suddenly burst out with a huge amount of chakra, and both formed seals: "Ninja Technique: Sage Mode!"
"Probably!" Duke did not comment. Shisui was one of the few characters in Naruto with very positive values. His words and deeds influenced his brother-con for his whole life, making the latter a benchmark that Jiko could never surpass in his entire life.
"Brother Minato, I'll be in charge of the main attack, you come to cover me!" Duke bit his index finger, pressed his hands on the ground, and shouted, "Psychic Technique!"
Duke's words were a wake-up call for Minato, and the usually lazy figure in his mind disappeared into thin air, leaving only an extremely confident face.
According to intelligence from the front line, the Cloud Ninja force retreated to the nearest town after confirming the peace talks. Duke and Minato sneaked all the way but found that the situation was not as they thought. The Cloud Ninja force only set up a simple camp outside the city, and the patrolling ninjas formed three layers inside and outside, surrounding the area within a radius of ten miles.
"When the two adults join forces, they will of course be invincible." Minato's blood suddenly boiled, and the chakra in his body surged violently.
"It's a psychic beast!"
"Enemy invasion!"
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"
…
After a brutal roar, a huge silver-white wolf broke through the white smoke and rushed towards the Cloud Ninja position, exuding ferocious savagery and filling the air with a dangerous aura.
"That's it! Brother Minato, do you want to challenge the legend of the two Hokages?"
"There's a change in plan. We should pass the information back first." Minato immediately thought of the safest way.
"Everyone be on alert, beware of sneak attacks from behind."
"Haha..." Minato laughed dryly twice, then turned serious and said, "If I follow the records of the village about the Second Generation, I don't think I'm much worse than him."
"Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique!"
Faced with Hades who rushed to the gate of the camp, they remained calm and a row of ninjas proficient in ninjutsu gathered and began to form hand seals.
"This child is very different. Perhaps he will be an important part of easing the relationship between the Uchiha and the village."
“…”
The overwhelming wind, fire, and thunder roared and painted the entire sky the color of ninjutsu. Ninjutsu of different sizes formed a huge wall and pressed down, leaving no space for escape.
“Go ahead!”
Duke stood on top of Hades, with cold air surging from his body. Suddenly, a large piece of ice burst out. The angular ice covered Hades, giving it an ice-blue armor.
