Chapter 48 - End of the war 2

"If I'm correct, Obito will die soon... I can't let that happen!" Yuki murmured and walked by the rubble from the destroyed buildings and houses, he could sometimes see the hands of dead people jotting out from the tiny gaps from the debris, they were most likely dead after being flattened by the buildings.

"He is one of the most important players in the Fourth war and even in Madara's plan... however, they never mentioned anything about the date of the mission in the canon... maybe I should go talk to Minato?" he thought and flickered from the spot leaving a small cloud of dust...

Yuki hopped through the trees and reached the base that he was assigned to just like the old times... He saw a figure with bright yellow hair that was walking around.

"Minato." Yuki said and walked upto his friend and noticed Minato was in deep thought, "could it be..." Yuki guessed and decided to ask "You look troubled, something wrong?" Minato who was lost in his thoughts was shook from his daze and quickly smiled at Yuki "I'm sorry, I wasn't listening! can you repeat what you said?" he said with a wry smile.

"What happened?" Yuki asked as Minato sighed and shook his head.

"Nothing much..." he replied as Yuki flicked his forehead, quite hardly as Minato skid backwards until he stopped at around three meters away from his previous spot.

"ouch!" he voiced out in agony and glared at Yuki who laughed at him, "Now... tell me why Mr.Baby face was sulking? is it about Kushina? hmm??" Yuki asked teasingly as Minato sighed and apologised.

"Sorry about that... it's just, I have this mission... and I'm worried about my students!" he stated and looked up at the sky and continued "They are really good kids... it's like a family that you never had you know? And then suddenly something happens... huh!" he sighed as Yuki smiled and pat his shoulder.

"shall I come and babysit them then?" Yuki asked as Minato smiled and shook his head and said "It's alright, they need to be able to fend for themselves every once in a while!".

Yuki waved his hand and walked away by saying "Hmm... well if you say so! but I'll definitely come join the trio after I finish the work in my side."

Minato stared at Yuki's vanishing figure and nodded.

"Thanks".

Near the Kannabi bridge...

"Oh dear... there is quite a lot of yall!" Yuki said as he glared at the two hundred odd Iwa shinobi.

He knew that he was hitting and killing children but... this is war and those kids were his enemies.

He slashed the kunai into the neck of one jonin at lightning speed, the jonin knew he should dodge but Yuki was too fast for the Jonin's reaction speed and instantly got himself killed in action.

Yuki sighed and stabbed the kunai into the head of another jonin and blew out a ball of fire which scorched the surrounding people.

They screamed in agony but nobody helped them, the man infront of them was more important than the wounded shinobi...

Yuki activated his eyes and summoned his Susanoo, it's figure had changed into the ultimate form... the Tengu!

Yuki laughed almost immediately, he had become the strongest ninja in the world of this era...

He sliced at the cowering Iwa shinobi with his golden ethereal swords which destroyed the ground producing a powerful shockwave that utterly destroyed the Iwa forces, the surrounding hills were sliced in two as the hilltops fell on the ground giving rise to land slides...

He dissipated the Susano and stared at the destructive scene infront of him.

"wow... and Madara is stronger than this??" he thought and quickly realised that he didn't have enough time to save Obito.

"Let's go save Rin!" Obito said enthusiastically as Kakashi followed him, they stopped infront of the cave and mentally prepared for what was coming.

Obito looked at Kakashi who nodded and they flickered into the dark cave...

They looked around and saw Rin who was on the ground, Her face was bleak and was most probably in a genjutsu.

Obito who had awakened his Sharingan prior to the rescue mission saw that her Chakra was unstable and thus decided to inform Kakashi.

"Rin's chakra is going wild, it's different from ours..." He said as Kakashi replied "Most probably a genjutsu!".

The Iwa ninja who looked back saw the two Konoha shinobi and charged at them with his dual swords.

He first striked at Obito who dodged by leaning back however Obito predicted his moves and saw that the Iwa shinobi was going to attack Kakashi by bringing his swords back, Obito used his legs blocking the Iwa ninja who could not bring his arms forward and was cut down by Kakashi who used his blade...

"kai!" Kakashi said as he walked upto Rin and untied the ropes and did a handsign, Rin groggily woke up and stared at the two of her teammates...

"Are you alright?" Obito asked as the trio got up to get out of the cave.

"Doton: Iwayodo Kuzushi!" He said and slammed his palm on the ground.

The ninja flickered away leaving the Konoha trio inside a collapsing cave...

"Run!" Kakashi ordered as Rin and Obito ran towards the exit at full speed. Kakashi who was behind then was struck by a piece of rock and fell on the ground, barely conscious.

"KAKASHI!" Rin shouted, Obito who turned back ran to Kakashi and helped him up, but he saw a massive piece of rock that was falling and pushed Kakashi aside hoping that he would be saved...

"shit... am I going to die here?" Obito thought and closed his eyes resolutely waiting for the stone to flatten him.

"..."

"am I dead?" Obito asked loudly as he heard a familiar voice chuckle.

"Yuki-San!" He shouted happily and opened his eyes.

"Yo! Obito-kun... and the rest!" Yuki greeted, He came right on time and quickly activates his Susanoo, which acted as an umbrella against the rocks...

Yuki sighed in relief and destroyed the cave with his Susanoo and cane out.

The Iwa ninja who was outside drinking juice stared at Yuki in shock, he dropped his drink and got up in fear.

The man infront of him was dangerous, extremely dangerous so he quickly jumped back and turned around trying to leave...

*boom!*

the only thing he heard was the loud crackle of thunder, he felt everything turn black. The Iwa ninja fell on the ground, his head was cleanly separated from his body as the Konoha trio winced in the brutality shown by Yuki.

"Let's go then!" Yuki said and dissipated the Susano, the group left the area immediately towards the base.

By the time Yuki got to the base, he had heard about Minato stopping the Iwa invasion all by himself, he knew that this marked the end of the war as Iwa would surrender.

Indeed the war was over and within the duration of an year Iwa finally agreed to Konoha's ceasefire agreement.

Konoha could catch a breath and can turn their eyes towards Kiri and Suna, the last two troublemakers...

He closed his eyes sleepily and leaned on the chair...

What he didn't know was that after Iwa had surrendered, Suna too had done the same due to their economic situation.

Kiri which was left alone decided to sign a peace agreement which finally closed the curtains of the war which had taken the lives of many...
