Master, Please Become a Hokage

Chapter 83. Obito: That's great~! Rin is alive!

The situation in the ninja world is changing tensely.

The Third Ninja World War has changed from a raging fire to a stalemate.

Kirigakure is quelling internal strife.

Kumogakure has withdrawn its troops and is shrinking back, with Killer B being "protected" in the Cloud-Lightning Gorge by his brother A, who had his arm severed.

Sunagakure is planning to start negotiations with Konoha.

And the only one unaffected by any political or internal strife is Iwagakure Village, which is as solid as a rock.

Iwagakure... is a militaristic ninja village.

In order to fight, the daimyo called on the dignitaries to tighten their belts and save money to replenish military supplies.

It is said that even the daimyo has started eating cornbread, according to the headlines in the Land of Earth's newspapers.

Iwagakure's slogan is... "All hearts united!"

At every meeting, Ōnoki leads Iwagakure in talks with the dignitaries led by the Land of Earth's daimyo.

They are constantly adjusting the plan to conquer the ninja world.

More than 10,000 Iwa ninjas are ready to go.

According to their plan, as long as they enter Konoha together, they can directly flatten the ninja village built by Hashirama Senju.

For Ōnoki...

It is also a good opportunity to avenge personal grudges.

Back then... Ōnoki would never forget the humiliation that Madara Uchiha inflicted on him and the Second Tsuchikage.

The experiences of his youth have influenced his entire life.

This hatred in his heart can only be vented on Konoha.

Especially... when Ōnoki heard that the ninjas of the Uchiha clan were all going to the battlefield, he became even more energetic.

Although Madara Uchiha had already died.

But it would be quite good to solve the Konoha he built and destroy the Uchiha clan.

Just as the situation in the ninja world was changing...

On the other side...

Minato Namikaze traveled quickly, using a Body Flicker Technique that was difficult for others to see, rapidly moving through the jungle.

"I must... catch up..."

In the predetermined future, Rin was captured by the Third Mizukage, who was controlled by Madara Uchiha, and the Three-Tails was sealed inside her.

Kakashi mobilized to rescue her.

On their way back to the village, he and Rin were chased by a group of Kirigakure ANBU.

In the end... Rin, in order to prevent the Three-Tails from rampaging in Konoha, resolutely chose to commit suicide on Kakashi's Chidori...

Minato Namikaze's eyes flickered as he recalled the information from the first timeline.

Obviously, in the second timeline, many things have changed.

In this way... Kirigakure only has a few good hands that can be used internally, such as Yagura Karatachi, Mei Terumi, and Ao.

Yagura Karatachi should be quelling the internal strife in the village right now.

So... is it probably Mei Terumi and Ao?

The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan was stolen, and Mei Terumi and Ao were among those involved.

Then...

Soon, Minato Namikaze leaped out of the forest and landed on the grass.

Pa.

He placed his right index finger on the ground to sense.

After a moment, Minato Namikaze detected traces of a large amount of chakra gathering.

Among them were Kakashi and Rin.

"Then, Obito should be nearby..."

Obito, who has the cells of the First Hokage and White Zetsu cells, seems to have a strong stealth ability.

Even my sensory abilities can't detect him.

But, he should be there.

Whoosh!

The next moment.

Minato Namikaze flashed and used the Flying Thunder God Technique, instantly appearing next to Kakashi.

The gift he gave Kakashi when he became a Jonin... the Flying Thunder God Kunai, was carried with him.

Therefore, it has a suitable use.

"I caught up!"

Before the two disciples could react, Minato Namikaze's figure flashed several times.

In an instant, several Kirigakure ninjas were killed.

The leader in charge of the pursuit... Ao, frowned immediately when he saw this: "Not good... it really is the Yellow Flash! What to do?"

He subconsciously looked at a girl of similar age to Kakashi.

The girl with brownish-red hair, although young, already had a charming temperament.

When she grows up, she will definitely be a beauty.

And this girl is Mei Terumi!

"Retreat..."

Mei Terumi decisively decided to run away.

If it were a few years later, her strength would surpass Minato Namikaze, and she might even win the title of Mizukage.

But not now...

The age gap has become an insurmountable gap.

After taking a deep look at Minato Namikaze, she stirred up a white mist, and soon... the remaining Kirigakure ninjas terminated the mission.

"Minato-sensei! ?"

Kakashi was excited when he saw Minato Namikaze arrive in time this time.

Nohara Rin, who was still in shock, also looked over and nodded to the Jonin instructor.

"Rin, are you okay?"

Minato Namikaze immediately stepped forward and put his hand on his disciple's shoulder.

He was afraid that Nohara Rin would have the Three-Tails sealed inside her like in the first timeline.

"I'm fine, Minato-sensei..." Nohara Rin nodded, indicating that she was fine.

Fortunately.

In the second timeline, because the Third Mizukage died early.

Yagura Karatachi was able to take the position in advance.

He coveted the power of the Three-Tails and used himself as the Three-Tails Jinchuriki to deter others.

So... history has been changed...

Rin, who was being chased, was only slightly frightened and tired.

Minato Namikaze thought, this is already the nth time Rin has been captured...

"That's great..."

At the same time, in the jungle tens of meters away, Obito, whose appearance had changed greatly, looked at this scene with the same excitement.

This time, Minato-sensei caught up.

He saved Rin.

That's great...

While Obito was immersed in his joyful mood, Black Zetsu narrowed his eyes and felt uneasy.

And Afei White Zetsu, who was wrapped around Obito, was waiting for Black Zetsu's orders at all times.

Should he forcibly control Obito, or...

"Forget it..."

Black Zetsu shook his head.

A Three-Tomoe Sharingan waste cannot become Madara's pawn.

Originally, saving Obito and transplanting White Zetsu cells / Hashirama cells into him was to make him open his eyes and become Madara's pawn.

But unexpectedly, Minato Namikaze arrived in time and saved Nohara Rin.

Who asked Might Dai to kick the Third Mizukage to death with one kick.

And that Konoha White Fang, who instantly killed the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

This made Kirigakure a mess...

Whoosh.

Afei White Zetsu on Obito's body slowly unfolded and faded away.

"Obito, I can only help you here..."

Afei White Zetsu's tone had an inexplicable meaning.

"Yeah, thank you... I won't forget the days I spent with you..."

Obito, with his long hair draped over his shoulders, had shed his childishness and gained a bit of perseverance.

His disfigured half face and half body made him appear more steady and mature.

Immediately, Obito couldn't restrain his joyful mood and quickly rushed out of the forest to reunite with Minato Namikaze, Kakashi, and Nohara Rin.

Fellow villagers meet fellow villagers, with tears in their eyes.

The four of them were overjoyed after a long separation.

Black Zetsu took a deep look at Obito, and when Obito opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, he might go back to find Madara...

Chapter 84. Rin, do you like me?

Inside the command camp in the Iwagakure front line.

Ryō Sarutobi and Jiraiya were discussing daily strategies to defend against the enemy.

As the leader of ANBU Squad Six, Ryō Sarutobi had access to many secrets that even Jiraiya could not know.

For example, the ninjas who came to the front line this time included Kushina.

And Ryō Sarutobi also knew about Kushina's identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Of course, Ryō Sarutobi, as a time-traveler, already knew about it.

The reason why the higher-ups told Ryō Sarutobi about this matter.

It is because Konoha is already in imminent danger.
