Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 66 Minato: I will never let Madara go!

Sighing secretly, the Master looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Aren't you going to attack me? If you capture me, Konoha will gain more during the peace talks."

"We need a step, and this step can only be given by Kirigakure."

Sarutobi Hiruzen disappeared instantly, leaving only a whisper in the Master's ear, "Leave quickly. If you die here, Kirigakure and Konoha will fight to the death."

Yuanshi has been contributing to Kirigakure since its establishment. He can be regarded as the living history book of Kirigakure. His status is equal to that of Mizukage, and his prestige is even higher than that of the third generation.

If he died on the battlefield, it would be difficult to stop the war.

The master stood there for a while with his crutch, watching Kirigakure being defeated. With the help of two ninjas, he left slowly.

When Yagura and Kisame arrived nearby, they learned from the fleeing ninjas that the Three-Tails had been controlled by Konoha, the battle line had collapsed, and the Master had evacuated safely. They had complicated expressions for a moment.

"Three generations ago, can't he see this?"

Kisame muttered.

'Want proof? You'll see.'

Recalling the words of the Konoha ninja in his mind, Yagura smiled to himself.

“He probably can’t really see it.”

If he can control the tailed beasts and the Jinchūriki, why is it impossible for the Kage to be controlled?
Kisame looked puzzled when he heard this, but Yagura shook his head, "Let's go and catch up with the Yuanshi's troops. We don't have much time. Konoha will not stop after winning, but will only pursue the victory."

……

When the Fourth Hokage returned to the headquarters, it was already night, and the Third Hokage Mizukage was defeated by the Sannin and sent back here.

"Let Jiraiya, the jonin, lead the troops to seize the coastline... notify the other troops to pursue the victory and not give Kirigakure a chance to catch their breath."

After returning to the command center, Minato Namikaze listened to his Anbu's reports on the situation on each battlefield, confirmed the losses and support situation, and then issued orders to each unit.

After doing all this, he said, "Let Yu come over."

After a moment, Hinata Yu stepped in and Minato went straight to the point, "What's the situation with the Third Mizukage?"

Hinata Yu nodded, "I checked it out, and it's true that he was caught in an illusion."

"really……"

Namikaze Minato sighed, and faced Hinata Yu's calm gaze, and smiled helplessly: "You are not surprised at all."

"Didn't we already guess it?"

Hinata Yu said in a low voice, "It makes more sense that the Third Mizukage was controlled."

"But the people who control him have big problems."

Minato was silent for a while before he sighed and said, "That person is probably Uchiha Madara!"

It is unbelievable that Shura, who was killed by the first Hokage, might still be alive and controlling the Hidden Mist Village behind the scenes.

"Uchiha Madara..."

Muttering these four words, Hinata Yu said: "If we connect with him, Obito's matter may have an explanation."

"Obito?"

Minato didn't know about Obito and Rin because he was separated from Kushina, and he immediately wondered, "What does this have to do with Obito?"

As he spoke, he secretly became more alert.

When mentioning Obito, Minato remembered that the white creature had used Obito and Kakashi to lower his guard and look for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

The Hinata Yu in front of me should be real, right?

"Yu, tell me first, what was the first sentence you said in my house?"

Hinata Yu stared at him strangely. Was he suffering from White Zetsu stress disorder?

He replied, "No, I have never been to your house."

Hearing this, Minato exhaled softly and smiled, "Sorry, the white creature that attacked us had a very realistic transformation jutsu. And the only person Konoha could identify was Kushina."

"I've heard of it, and I've seen a similar creature on Obito's body."

As he spoke, Hinata Yu took out a white arm, which was exactly what A Fei left behind.

Minato narrowed his eyes at this and pulled out a scroll as well, from which he took out the clone of the white creature.

"This is the attacker's clone, but after its death it did not disappear like the shadow clone, nor did it turn into other substances like the water clone technique. I brought it back."

"The reason why it didn't disappear is probably related to its own nature."

Pulling out a report, Hinata Yu handed it to Minato, "This is the test report I asked the medical ninja to do on this arm."

Minato took it and started reading it. "The cells are full of life, and they are very different from the human body... plus the Wood Release, is it really related to the First Generation?"

He had guessed it before.

The only recorded user of Wood Release is the First Generation. When a new user suddenly appears, he will inevitably think that the other person learned Wood Release because of the First Generation's cells.

After all, Konoha Root had conducted such research before, but it was stopped... stopped...

Minato frowned when he thought of the Dark Ninja of Konoha.

Will he really stop?
I’m afraid not…

"Obito also knows Wood Release."

Hinata Yu waited for Minato to collect his thoughts and told him in detail what happened after he met Obito.

"The person behind the scenes knows a lot about Wood Release and has the ability to grant Wood Release to ninjas. Those white creatures were most likely cultivated using the cells of the first generation."

"As for Obito, his encounter with Rin was a little strange. According to Kakashi's investigation, Rin was captured by Kirigakure. But even the Third Mizukage was controlled by illusions. I'm afraid there's something wrong with this. It might be a design to stimulate him to open his eyes."

"Mangekyo and Wood Release, today Obito has obtained two powers that were used to pacify the chaotic world at the end of the Warring States period. If Uchiha Madara is still alive, he would be the one who knows these two powers best."

Therefore, Uchiha Madara is highly suspected, and Obito might be the chess piece he rescued... and then trained!
Minato heard the subtext of Hinata Yu, nodded seriously, and sighed for Lin's death and Obito's experience, "Thank you for your hard work. If you meet Obito again in the future, don't worry about me and Kushina, and take your own life as the most important, even if..."

After a pause, Minato still didn't say that sentence clearly, but he believed that Hinata Yu knew what he meant.

Obito liked Rin very much, and asked him to kill her with his own hands. Minato couldn't imagine how extreme Obito would become.

In this situation, perhaps only Obito's grandmother can persuade Obito. When he, Kushina and Kakashi meet Obito, they must also be mentally prepared for a direct fight.

Not to mention everyone else.

"End this war first. If it's really Uchiha Madara... I will make him pay the price!"

A cold light flashed in Minato's eyes.

Toying with his students and manipulating the war between Kirigakure and Konoha.

If all this was done by Uchiha Madara, as a teacher and the Fourth Hokage, he would make the other party pay the price!

Over the next few days, Konoha gradually advanced the front line and suppressed the Kirigakure troops along the coastline.

The strong men of Konoha were active on the battlefield, and the giant summoning beasts and the three-tailed beast made the Kirigakure suffer.

In addition, the Third Mizukage was captured by Konoha, and people within Kirigakure were in panic, with rumors spreading that the Third Mizukage was controlled by illusion.

It was under such circumstances that Yagura, with the support of the master, temporarily took over the position of Mizukage and started peace talks with Konoha.
