"Ah, so it's the two of you here..."

"It took me quite a while to find you."

A sarcastic voice sounded somewhat inappropriate, catching the attention of Minato Namikaze and the masked man as they looked up.

Above their heads, a black-clad, white-haired youth had appeared at some point, standing on an invisible line in mid-air.

"Yu?"

"Why are you here?"

Seeing Yu's sudden appearance, Minato Namikaze's expression momentarily froze.

"Hmph..."

"So, it's the Scarlet Yu that the entire ninja world has been talking about recently... quite troublesome."

Seeing the youth who had appeared out of thin air above them, the masked man recognized Yu's identity with just one glance.

'If I hadn't stopped absorbing chakra in time just now...

I'm sure my body would have been pierced through by now...'

Glancing at the ground beneath his feet that had been completely blown apart, the masked man couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Moreover, this sudden and unannounced appearance...

I didn't expect this guy to be even more formidable than before...

Recalling his humiliating defeat when he had challenged Yu in the past, feeling the increased strength of Yu compared to before, and considering the various rumors circulating about Yu in the ninja world recently, a shadow fell over the masked man's heart.

"Oh? It seems you've also heard of my name..."

Gazing at the mysterious masked man below, Yu's lips curled with a hint of playfulness. "Why do I feel like I've seen you somewhere before... do we know each other?"

Of course, Yu knew the true identity of the masked man, but he intentionally said this in front of Minato Namikaze just to embarrass him a bit.

Does this guy... perhaps sense something?

Feeling the teasing gaze from Yu, the masked man's heart suddenly shook, wondering if Yu had already figured out his true identity.

"Hmph, Yellow Flash and Scarlet Yu, huh..."

"Even if the two of you come at me together, I won't fail."

With that in mind, the masked man deliberately snorted, shifting Minato Namikaze's attention to the ongoing battle in front of them.

"The two of us teaming up? You're overestimating it..."

"To deal with vermin like you, who hide their true intentions, I don't think it's necessary for the Fourth Hokage and me to join forces."

Upon hearing the masked man's words, Yu couldn't help but chuckle. Then, he turned his gaze to Minato Namikaze on the other side below.

"Fourth Hokage, go handle the Nine-Tails and take care of Kushina while you're at it..."

"I'll take care of this guy. Let me have some fun with him here."

Minato Namikaze had once saved Yu during a mission involving spying on Mist Village's intelligence at the Land of Fire's border. Now, by intervening to hold off the masked man and buying time, Yu considered it repaying a favor to Minato Namikaze.

"Since that's the case..."

"I'm counting on you, Yu."

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze's mind raced, and he quickly made a decision.
