Chapter 71 : Truth Revealed!!

[After that, Minato, Kakashi, and Rin destroyed the Kannabi Bridge together, giving Konoha a chance at victory.]

[Unfortunately, not long after the battle at the Kannabi Bridge, Rin was killed by a trap set by Uchiha Madara.]

[Kakashi is the only one left among Minato's students.]

Tobirama: "As I suspected, Madara used Nohara Rin to make Obito witness her death. This allowed Obito to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, but it also plunged him into darkness."

Watching the screen, Tobirama saw Rin being fatally stabbed by Kakashi, and Obito successfully awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan. Tobirama's understanding of the Uchiha clan deepened significantly.

Previously, he knew there was something wrong with the Uchiha bloodline limit. After Konoha was established, his research showed that advancing the Sharingan requires a lot of negative emotions.

Members of the Uchiha clan who evolve under such conditions often undergo drastic changes in temperament.

However, they might only advance to the level of three tomoe. Such individuals often recover with time and the help of others.

As long as they are not provoked, they can remain like ordinary people.

Some time ago, Kagami awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan, and his evil and erratic behavior left a strong impression on Tobirama.

But after receiving guidance from his friends and Tobirama himself, Kagami was somewhat restored to his previous state.

Though his approach became a bit more ruthless.

Before coming to the office, Tobirama received information from Anbu that the Uchiha clan was holding a clan meeting today and hoped Kagami would attend. They even threatened him, highlighting the meeting's importance.

Unexpectedly, Kagami, who was usually calm and rational, broke the man's legs without a word and said he had no interest in the radical meeting.

Given that even Kagami has reacted this way, it's understandable that Obito, without his teacher and friends to support or guide him, has become a maniac bent on destroying the world.

Of course, while Tobirama understands this, he does not condone Obito's actions.

Since the Nine-Tails has been released in Konoha, it's no surprise that Tobirama wouldn't agree with such actions.

"Obito is truly pitiable. He saw the girl he loved die before him, killed by a close friend from his own team."

Sarutobi Hiruzen also sighed.

With such a situation, not just Uchiha, but even he might have fallen into darkness and become a lunatic.

"If Obito had any common sense, he would have noticed."

Sarutobi Hiruzen considered this and agreed that Tobirama had a point.

"Exactly. After all, everything was arranged in such a blatant and obvious way. Anyone with average intelligence could see that something was off."

Is Obito really someone with average intelligence? According to official records, his IQ value is 2.

In contrast, Shikamaru had an IQ of 10 as a child, and Naruto had an IQ of 3.

Obito's IQ is quite concerning—he's even less capable than Naruto.

Despite this, Obito eventually figured out that Madara had orchestrated the incident to make him awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan and help with the Project "Tsuki no Me".

But by then, Obito was so focused on creating a world with Rin that he no longer cared about Madara's schemes.

Even though he knew the Rinnegan could bring Rin back to life, he didn't let Nagato revive her. 

He believed this corrupt world didn't deserve Rin. Only a new world full of peace and hope could truly give Rin a new life.

To achieve this, he deceived Nagato, Konan, and the entire Akatsuki organization.

Unfortunately, all of this was a trick by a certain troubled young man who wanted to save his mother. They don't know this yet.

At the moment, Tobirama was still considering using cloning technology to create a body for Rin, resurrect her, and have her convince Obito to return.

It would be a waste to let such a valuable fighter be given to Madara.

As for the Fourth Hokage and the casualties from the Nine-Tails attack, it's not a big issue. They could be revived together. 

After all, this incident didn't happen in his time. Any problems would be left for the Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, to handle.

Jiraiya: Don't come over here!

The Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, was unaware that Tobirama had set a major trap for him.

Now, he and the Third Hokage understood from the light screen why Obito had become so hostile toward Konoha. It turned out that everything was because of Nohara Rin.

"I don't get it. Is Obito's mind not working right? It's one thing to go against the world for someone you love, but Konoha had the Uchiha clan who raised him and the Minato couple who cared for him. Didn't he think about them when he released the Nine-Tails?"

Jiraiya didn't quite understand Obito's reasoning.

If this had happened to him, he would have gone after the real enemy instead of blaming Minato and Konoha for not rescuing him in time.

"Maybe Obito's mind really isn't working well."

Thinking about Obito's actions back in Ninja School, the Third Hokage felt an odd sense of déjà vu.

He looked around and saw Naruto. That's when he realized where this feeling came from.

Naruto was just like Obito.

Naruto understood everything.

Likewise, Obito's mind might not have been that clear either.

"Old man, did you tell Kakashi that Obito is still alive?"

"I've been unsure whether to tell him or not."

Looking at the Third Hokage who was smoking calmly, Jiraiya said, "You're right to be unsure. It's better not to tell Kakashi about Obito for now. We should wait until we have more information."

"Got it."

[After the Third Ninja World War, Konoha signed an agreement with Iwagakure Village, making some concessions.]

[The Third Hokage stepped down to take responsibility for the Konoha ninjas who died in the war and due to pressure from Konoha's leaders.]

[However, Minato's outstanding performance in the war and the unanimous support of the Land of Fire's Daimyo led to him becoming the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.]

[Minato, who reached the peak of his career and gained wealth, didn't forget to support his student Kakashi.]

[During this time, Minato worked hard day and night and finally became a father.]

[Kushina is pregnant. Even though Minato is very busy as Hokage, he still enjoys reading in his free time.]

[The child's name is taken from the protagonist of Jiraiya's book, which is Naruto, the hero of the story.]

Uzumaki Naruto: ???

At this moment, everyone in the office looked at Naruto, who was confused.

"Are you kidding me? My father is the Fourth Hokage?"
