Chapter 10

Konoha Military Police in the middle of the night.

"Cancel!"

The seal placed was temporarily lifted, and the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze opened the iron bars and entered.

Behind him, Shisui Uchiha, the genius of the Uchiha clan, raised his hand and all the Uchiha ninja around him retreated.

Then, as Shisui turned around and was about to leave, Minato said, "No wonder the enemies on the battlefield are so afraid of Shisui Body Flicker. You already guessed it, right? Then let's go together."

"I think that as a younger Uchiha who discovered the Mangekyo Sharingan, formed a close bond, and then lost it, you and Obito should share scars, right?"

Shisui, still behind the iron bars, stopped, turned around, quietly walked over and stood behind Minato.

"Huh..."

Minato exhaled, and his outstretched hand touched the swirling mask.

*Crack!*

With a clear sound, Minato removed his mask. But the face that came into view was far from the sunny disciple from his memory. Half of his face is made up of cells from the First Hokage, giving him a fierce appearance. A pair of eye sockets that have stopped bleeding, but are still empty. Although there were no eyeballs, one could say that they had no faith in the world.

"Obi...to."

A quiet voice reached his ears, but Obito raised his head and let out a nasty laugh.

"Master, you already guessed that it was me, right? The person who gave you the information didn't tell you who I am?"

Obito continued under his breath, "That's right, whether it's you or Kakashi, you're all ninja who have achieved great fame on the battlefield, so there's no doubt about your ability to analyze information. Unless that bastard Kakashi doesn't know much about Mangekyo, otherwise..."

Minato shook his head slightly, "I just want to know why you became like this? Yesterday you wanted to attack Kushina, right? Free the Nine-Tails, destroy Konoha, maybe... at the same time, kill your teacher and Kushina, who loves you?

The corners of Obito's mouth turned up, turning into anger, and no embarrassment was visible at all: "Konoha without Rin, a world without Rin is meaningless to me!"

"When Kakashi's Raikiri passed through Rin's chest, this world became meaningless to me! Sensei who is always a step too late, Kakashi who killed Rin, none of you kept your promise."

Minato shook his head slightly and was about to say something, but Obito grinned and beat him to it, "The Three-Tails was sealed in Rin's body, right? I know, and I also know that Rin asked Kakashi to kill her. Is that what you wanted to say? It is so? Teacher…"

Minato was speechless.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha..."

Obito laughed wildly, and two tears mixed with blood rolled out of his empty eye sockets. The pain from the wounds wasn't as painful as the pain in his heart, just as Minato had a lot to ask of him, he also had too much to ask of Minato and Kakashi.

The only light in this world for him is Rin... Nohara Rin!

"Master... where were you when Rin was captured? Where were you when the boulder fell and crushed me? Where were you when the Three-Tails was sealed into Rin?"

"If you... if you were here... you, who master the sealing techniques... Rin would not have died!!"

Obito's body tensed from the roar, and the iron chains that blocked him tightened. But neither Minato nor Shisui did anything.

"Obito, I cannot change Rin's death, no matter what I say now. But... sorry! I didn't protect you well."

After the words fell, Minato, who had just closed his eyes slightly, sighed in relief, opened his eyes and said, "So, Obito, can you come back? Return to Konoha, you are still Obito, you are still my student. Still... Rin's teammate!"

Obito froze. Minato smiled and continued, "Except for Kakashi, Shisui and Captain Fugaku, no one will know what happened last night, and those two medic ninjas will keep their mouths shut. Come back, Obito."

For some time there was silence in the cell.

Behind him, Shisui just looked at Minato in slight surprise, admiring the Hokage's generosity and wisdom at that moment.

It should be understood that if they had not received so much information in advance, it would have been inevitable that the Nine-Tails would have been released last night. And if the Nine-Tails leaves the jinchuuriki, Kushina, the wife of the Fourth Hokage, will definitely die.

After all, even Namikaze Minato, who is the Fourth Hokage, could not get out of such a mess so easily.

The student who nearly destroyed his family may still have a chance at forgiveness. He had just insisted on leaving Shisui here so he could witness it in person.

The power of the Mangekyo Sharingan last night, the abilities of Susanoo and the Kotoamatsukami of the right eye, obviously the Fourth Hokage paid attention to them.

No, there is also a Mangekyo with different spatial abilities, which the Fourth Hokage also needs to take into account.

This should show that he can be completely trusted and believe that he, the new Hokage, not influenced by the Second Hokage, will show the greatest tolerance towards the Uchiha.

"Hey! Hehehe..."

A low laugh echoed from the iron chamber and Obito suddenly raised his head, his eye sockets staring at Minato like bloody holes from a ruptured wound.

"No need! I don't need Konoha, I don't need a teacher, and I don't want anyone. I just want to create a world with Rin and nothing else matters. It doesn't matter anymore!!"

During the roar, a stream of blue chakra suddenly burst out, instantly breaking through the spell that originally sealed the chakra. The blue chakra soared up, breaking the chains one after another, but in the next moment...

*Bang!*

"Seal!"

However, literally a moment later, Minato's hand was imprinted on Obito's lower abdomen, and the power of the seal blocked the chakra that had just escaped, which had not yet had time to form a skeleton.

"Can you use Susanoo without the Sharingan? Although he didn't even manage to reach the first stage, I have to say that you are a true Uchiha genius."

Shisui closed his Mangekyo, he was just about to release his Susanoo. Obito collapsed on the floor without making a sound, he didn't want to say anything more. What's the use of this after questioning and receiving an apology?

Rin cannot return, Rin is not in this world.

...

"Let's go," Minato took one last look at his student, turned and left, Shisui closed the iron bars behind him and sealed it again.

In the hallway, Shisui didn't dare speak.

Minato, who was walking ahead, said: "We'll wait a few more days, maybe..."

Shisui lowered his head when he heard these words, he understood what the Fourth Hokage meant, he still wanted to save this student.

Minato continued, "In the past, Obito was often late, and the reason was because he helped the elderly every time. I remember one time on a mission, he said that there were no elderly people in Konoha that he didn't know."

"Always finding himself at the back of the class, he never lost faith in himself. To quickly open the Sharingan, he used eye drops and wore glasses to protect his eyes."

"He is a boy full of sunshine, and his light is Rin."

...

At the same time, a black shadow quietly appeared in the police captain's room.
