Chapter 433: Playing the Part to the End
"Yes, Lord Minato."
Under the cover of their comrades, two Iwa-nin swiftly retreated from the battlefield, carrying Rōshi and Kitsuchi on their backs as they ran.
As they moved, they fumbled through their ninja pouches, pulling out the last of their military ration pills and stuffing them into the mouths of their unconscious leaders.
They couldn't imagine what would become of their squad if both Rōshi and Kitsuchi were to die here.
With anxious hearts, the two Iwa-nin disappeared into the distance.
But their concerns weren't on Minato's mind. Right now, he just wanted to find a place to catch up with his junior brother.
From the corner of his eye, he watched as their pursuers were intercepted, and a faint smile played at his lips.
"You're still standing around? Waiting to die?"
The five Nagatos stood opposite their senior brother, their voices ringing loud and clear, making sure to keep up the act.
"Defeat me first before talking big."
Their exchange was unmistakably audible on the battlefield. The moment Minato finished speaking, he vanished from sight.
