[At the critical moment, a flash of yellow light saved Kushina.
[Obito: "Why? If only you could have done this for Rin back then."
[Watching Minato hold the dying Kushina and vanish, Obito, whose heart had long been twisted, didn't want to let his sensei and his sensei's wife go so easily.
[He summoned the Nine-Tails deep into Konoha, letting the massive creature wreak havoc.
[Soon, he found Minato's location.
[He intended to launch a surprise attack from behind, but Minato noticed and attacked first.
[However, Minato's attack was ineffective. His kunai simply passed through Obito's body.
[To be honest, anyone encountering Obito's ability for the first time would find it unbelievable, right?
[Taking advantage of Minato's moment of hesitation, Obito immediately began absorbing him, intending to pull Minato into the Kamui space.
[In this situation, most ninjas wouldn't be able to react to the spatial distortion at all.
[The only ones who could resist this spatial warp were those with space-time ninjutsu, like the Flying Thunder God.
[The damage from the distortion alone had already exhausted Minato.
[Before he could catch his breath, Obito quickly teleported in front of him.
[Seeing his teacher's proud Flying Thunder God technique, now only used to escape, Obito felt a twisted sense of pleasure.
[He smirked with disdain, his voice full of joy: "Let's see where you can run to."]
"Is it pleasure? Is it enjoyment?"
Under the light screen, seeing Minato in such a sorry state as he protected her and their child, Kushina couldn't hold back anymore.
She grabbed Obito and pulled him into her arms, then used her other hand to hit his head hard.
Actually, Obito could have avoided it by using his intangibility.
But when he thought about it, even if he could dodge the first blow, he couldn't dodge the second. It was better to quietly accept the punishment he deserved.
"Alright, Kushina, Obito… he's just... uh... never mind, forget I said anything."
Seeing Obito looking so pitiful, Minato tried to calm things down.
But he honestly didn't know what to say.
Should he say Obito was out of control? Or that his mind was twisted and he wasn't himself anymore?
That night, so many ninjas and villagers died in Konoha. No matter how beautifully they worded it, nothing could cover up Obito's madness and his heinous crimes.
"Well, Kushina-san, Obito's brain was already messed up. If it gets completely broken, how is he going to pay back all those debts from before?"
"You're right, Rin. We can't just let him off the hook."
With Rin's plea, Kushina reluctantly let go of Obito and angrily said, "You better thank Rin. Otherwise, I might actually dig out your brain to see if it's really different from a normal person's."
"Uh... thanks, Kushina-san... and thanks, Rin."
Obito shrank his neck.
He knew that if he made Kushina really angry, she would probably dig his brain out to check.
After all, with Konoha's resurrection jutsu, if they had the money, bringing someone back to life was not difficult.
[After a few encounters, Minato concluded that the opponent's space ninjutsu was superior to his own.
[However, this wasn't something that couldn't be broken.
[Seeing Minato take out his kunai again, Obito also began to take things more seriously.
[After all, fighting the Yellow Flash was full of unpredictability.
[This time, Obito chose a weapon that wasn't Uchiha Madara's Gunbai, but a chain.
[This chain could perfectly combine with Kamui. When the enemy passed through him, the chain could be used to control them in return.
[Unfortunately for him, his opponent was Minato, who could immune to binding effects. With a Flying Thunder God, Minato could easily break free.
[Both Obito and Minato understood that whoever moved faster would have a better chance of winning.
[The two charged at each other again.
[Minato threw the kunai, and Obito calmly faced it. As long as he could absorb Minato in the instant the kunai left, the battle would end.
[But the teacher is still a teacher. Minato used Obito's own thought pattern against him, teleporting to the feigned kunai with his second Flying Thunder God, landing a Rasengan that hit Obito before he could turn intangible.
[This move turned the tide of the battle.
[Minato's ambition was great. He didn't just want to win; he wanted to take all of Obito's pieces.
[He flashed again to Obito's side, removing Obito's strongest piece, the Nine-Tails, and left a Flying Thunder God mark on him as well.
[Seeing that he had lost control over the Nine-Tails, Obito had no choice but to give up on this invasion.]
"Wow~ our Fourth Hokage is really something, huh?"
In Tobirama's office, for Hashirama, who hadn't seen Minato's moves before, this was his first time witnessing Minato in battle.
To be honest, when he first heard that the Fourth Hokage was handling the battle against the Nine-Tails to the point of dying, he was confused.
Can the Nine-Tails really kill someone?
Now, he was just as puzzled.
From Minato's current display of strength, even if he couldn't defeat the Nine-Tails, he definitely wouldn't be killed by it.
Who told you that the Flying Thunder God technique is too overpowered?
"By the way, Tobirama, why didn't you use the Flying Thunder God technique to leave after Hiruzen and the others escaped back then?"
The moment Tobirama heard this, his face darkened.
It's like opening an old wound.
Even though he didn't die in the rebellion of the Gold and Silver Brothers, and even sent them straight to hell, the ridiculous death scene in the Naruto storyline still made him incredibly frustrated, like a part of his black history.
Tobirama glared at Hashirama and decided not to answer the question.
"If you're not going to say it, then don't say it. Why are you so aggressive?"
Seeing Tobirama's unwillingness, Hashirama wondered if he had been neglecting his younger brother too much, which caused their brotherly relationship to become a bit off-balance.
Clearly, he was the older brother, so why did he sometimes get the feeling that Tobirama was actually the older one?
Thinking about it, Hashirama made up his mind.
He would start improving their relationship right now.
"Tobirama, you like glaring so much, is your eye okay?"
"Shut up!"
"Alright~"
[This time, when they attacked Konoha, Obito completely severed any chance of turning back.]
[He was walking further and further away from the Will of Fire that he once believed in.]
[If the disaster that invaded Konoha was indirectly caused by the Nine-Tails, then next, Obito would take matters into his own hands.]
[Because of Itachi, he was invited to destroy his former clan.]
[Although he had no personal grudge with the Uchiha, Obito still happily agreed.]
"Itachi, that bastard."
Every time the Uchiha clan massacre is mentioned, Sasuke's emotions are as intense as ever.
He had long known that the massacre of his clan wasn't just the work of Uchiha Itachi alone.
The village, Obito, these people were all his accomplices.
But he never imagined that Obito, this accomplice, was actually invited by Itachi himself.
Things that even animals wouldn't do, he actually did.
No wonder he's recognized as a "true ninja" by the light screen.
Damn, true ninja my ass.
Damn it!
