The ninja world is reborn, and everyone is resurrected at the start.

Seeing her like this, Kushina could no longer hold back and hugged Obito's head, crying:

"You idiot! Don't you know that if any one of you dies, the rest of us will be devastated? But that's not a reason for us to do whatever we want. Do you think you're the only one suffering? Your teacher, Minato Namikaze, lost his two most beloved students. Wasn't he heartbroken? Kakashi's best friend died saving him, and he killed another teammate with his own hands. Do you think he wasn't in pain? Do you think you're the only one who's special? Listen to me carefully: from now on, you need to discuss everything with us. If you dare to act on your own again, I'll beat you to a pulp!"

"Um... um, I know, I know, it won't happen again, it won't happen again." Obito's tears kept flowing, perhaps because he had been holding them in for too long! He wanted to let out all the tears that had accumulated in his heart over the years.

Minato looked at Obito, and he knew that at this moment, he, Uchiha Obito, was no longer the person no one wanted to be, nor the masked man who manipulated everything behind the scenes and wreaked havoc on the ninja world.

Right now, he's just someone who made a mistake, is being scolded by his family, regrets his error, and wants to change his ways.

Chapter Fifteen: Departure from the Land of Thunder

Minato and Rin, who were standing nearby, looked at the two of them without saying a word, but only looked at them gently for about ten minutes.

After a while, Kushina remembered that Obito's current body couldn't kneel for long, so she quickly picked him up, put him on the bed, covered him with a blanket, and told him to rest well. She told Obito not to think too much, and that neither she nor Minato had blamed him, and instructed Rin to take good care of him.

He and Minato left first. Once outside, looking at the relaxed Kushina Uzumaki, Minato couldn't help but ask, "Have you really forgiven Obito?" Kushina stretched and said easily, "Maybe I haven't even blamed him since I left! It's just that the Obito you're talking about is too unfamiliar to me, and I'm having trouble accepting him for a while!"

But seeing him kneel before me and apologize today, I know that deep down he's still the same Obito who dared to forge ahead and strived to become Hokage. He's just matured a lot now. His eyes now hold more responsibility, more commitment, and more courage.

Kushina paused and continued:

"Looking at him now, I know he must have suffered a lot and endured many injustices! But in my opinion, these are not bad things. These experiences will become his motivation to move forward, and he may even go further and become stronger than in his previous life! I believe that with our help, he can achieve his goal in this life and become an important figure in protecting our village and the ninja world."

Seeing him like this, Minato visibly breathed a sigh of relief. Kushina glanced at Minato, and seeing his expression, she knew what he was thinking. She continued:

"Don't worry, I know what you're worried about. I won't be bound by those future things you mentioned. Naruto gave us a second chance so that we could change the future, not to bind us to the hatred of the past. So, the first thing we need to do is improve our own strength. So, what are your plans next?"

When Kushina asked him a question, Minato thought for a moment and said:

"I plan to meet with Might Guy and Might Dai first to discuss taijutsu and see if I can learn the Eight Gates, since there will inevitably be physical clashes in the upcoming battles! As for Sage Mode, I also need to study it further. And next, I'll request permission from Kumogakure to obtain training techniques on cell activation from the Raikage."

"Then you go ahead and get busy! I'll be fine going back by myself," Kushina said.

"Alright then! Be careful," Minato said after a moment's hesitation.

They're still inside Konoha, so there shouldn't be any danger. Besides, Kushina is very strong, and Kurama wouldn't stand idly by in a dangerous situation, especially since Naruto is still inside her. Therefore, Minato felt he didn't need to worry too much!

Watching Kushina's figure gradually disappear into the distance until it vanished completely from his sight, Minato then used the Body Flicker Technique, instantly vanishing from the spot!

For the rest of the time, aside from going home to sleep and eat at night, Minato spent all his other time with Kai and his father.

Given Kai's carefree personality, the moment he was reborn, he told his father everything he had seen in the future. Later, when Minato arrived, he told him about the Otsutsuki clan. Knowing that the future Kai and his father knew that Minato wanted to learn the Eight Gates, Minato answered all their questions without reservation.

Meanwhile, Minato tried to teach the two of them the Flying Thunder God Technique, but it turned out that they indeed lacked ninjutsu talent. However, their understanding of taijutsu over the years had greatly improved their skills.

Minato himself was a genius. In the past two days, with Guy's guidance, he successfully mastered the Eight Gates to the point of being able to open the gates. Although it was only the first gate, he had still successfully entered it.

Counting from his birth, today is the fourth day, the day Minato and the Raikage had agreed upon. Minato hasn't received any information from the front lines regarding the peace talks with the Land of Lightning!

So Minato decided to go on an adventure to Kumogakure with Obito, because Obito was the original user of the Sharingan, and Kakashi needed a week to recover from his exhaustion! However, Obito was already able to get out of bed on the third day after returning to Konoha, and then rested for another day.

So now he can go to Kumogakure with Minato, but he hasn't fully recovered yet. With his current chakra, he can only use Kamui Transmission once at most!

Therefore, it should absolutely not be used unless absolutely necessary. Originally, Minato wanted Kurama to share some of his chakra with Obito, but Kurama hadn't spoken to Kushina and her husband since their last conversation. No matter what Kurama said, he simply ignored them. Left with no other option, Minato had to abandon that idea.

Although according to Naruto's account in the memory world, Minato himself tamed Kurama's Yin-type chakra, Minato's own speculation is that the reason he was able to tame Kurama in the future might be because Naruto eliminated the hatred from Kurama's original body. Since the Yin-type Kurama is a combination of chakra separated from Kurama's body, the hatred from the original body naturally disappeared as well.

Without the hatred, the fourth Kurama was able to quickly exchange blows with it and gain its help. However, at this moment, although Kurama was also a reborn being, the hatred still lingered.

So no matter what Kushina and Minato say, it's useless now; Kurama is completely ignoring them.

However, Minato also believed that Kurama would intervene for Naruto's sake if Kushina were in danger. After all, in the future world, he was willing to risk his life for Naruto; surely he wouldn't abandon his mother after being reborn!

But it's practically impossible for Kurama to offer help now! Lost in thought, he had unknowingly arrived at the meeting place he had arranged with Obito.

The location was a familiar place for both sides, the third exercise field.

Obito was noticeably more mature after his rebirth, but his enthusiasm for helping others remained undiminished. On the contrary, because he had caused the deaths of many people in the Fourth Shinobi World War, he felt guilty and would do even more to help those in need.

But now, if he's in a hurry, he'll create several shadow clones to stay behind and help him, ensuring he's not late and delays the mission!

There are three people in the third training ground: Obito, Rin, and Kakashi! Rin and Kakashi are chatting, but Rin is doing most of the talking. Kakashi only occasionally replies with a word or two, but most of the time he just listens quietly.

Rin occasionally glanced in Kakashi's direction, but seemed to be sulking, deliberately ignoring Obito's presence. Obito, unlike before, didn't provoke Kakashi; instead, his expression remained unchanged, and he sat quietly to the side, waiting.

Upon seeing Minato's arrival, Obito stood up and bowed, saying, "Good morning, Minato-sensei." Kakashi and Rin also quickly followed suit, bowing and greeting him. Minato smiled slightly and replied, "Good morning to you too. Are you here to see off Daitu?"

Seeing that Rin remained silent, Kakashi could only reply: "No, I wanted to go with you. I'm extremely skilled in Lightning Release, and I plan to take this opportunity to study in Kumogakure for a while."

Knowing how strong their future enemy would be, Kakashi had been working tirelessly to improve his strength these past few days. He originally planned to develop the Purple Lightning technique, just like he had in the future.

However, after careful consideration, he abandoned the idea. Firstly, his biggest weakness right now was physical strength. While his chakra was barely sufficient because he no longer needed to maintain his Sharingan, his physical strength was far from adequate. Most of the enemy ninjas of the future could absorb ninjutsu. Since he couldn't use ninjutsu, physical combat would be unavoidable, so what he needed to do now was enhance his physical resilience.

Regarding the issue of Raikiri, Kakashi thought it would be worthwhile to learn Sage Mode. With the sensory abilities of Sage Mode, mastering the speed of Raikiri would be a piece of cake!

As for taijutsu, the most powerful technique in the ninja world is undoubtedly the Eight Gates, but Kakashi isn't a taijutsu prodigy. Even after years of study, he could only open the first gate. Because of this, Kakashi considered going to Kumogakure to learn the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Lightning Release Armor, and Lightning Release Spear techniques of the Third and Fourth Raikage. Kakashi is more familiar with the Fourth Raikage than Minato, given their long-term collaboration, and he believes Kumogakure wouldn't refuse him given their relationship.

As for Rin, her motives were simpler. Because Obito wasn't fully recovered, she was worried about him and wanted to go and take care of him. However, she couldn't accept everything Obito had done for her, so she hadn't spoken to him yet.

Minato thought about it and felt that there shouldn't be too much danger, so he agreed. After all, there were many reborn people in Kumogakure, and they shouldn't be too hostile towards Minato and the others. Besides, even if there was danger, he could just send them back in time!

Meanwhile, inside the Raikage Building in Kumogakure, the Fourth Raikage and his father, the Third Raikage, were staring at each other intently, clearly unable to convince each other on the issue of withdrawing their troops. However, their situation differed somewhat from Minato's and the others'.

The Third Raikage was a man of great loyalty and affection; even though his son had disobeyed him, he couldn't bear to lock him up. However, the Fourth Raikage was also a stubborn man; seeing he couldn't persuade his father, he simply refused to leave! And so, the father and son remained in this standoff for two days!

Chapter Sixteen Conflict

Two days ago, the Fourth Raikage returned alone from the front lines. Even at top speed, it took him two days to reach Kumogakure!

Having rushed back to the village after a long journey, the Fourth Raikage, without taking a break, hurried off to see his father.

In fact, by this time, the Third Raikage had already learned about the Fourth Shinobi World War from other reincarnated individuals. After all, he had many loyal followers, so obtaining this information was not difficult!

Later, he learned about the events following the Fourth Shinobi World War from his son who had rushed back.

Just as Obito said, the Third Raikage was caught in a dilemma!

Just as the father and son were at their most tempered and about to go out and fight, four uninvited guests appeared in the building of Hidden Cloud Village!

The Fourth Raikage wasn't surprised by their appearance and ignored them. The Third Raikage, however, was different; upon seeing the four, he immediately tried to capture them.

Unfortunately, the Fourth Raikage stood in his way, preventing him from attacking. Enraged, the Third Raikage cursed:

"Damn it, what do you mean? Are you planning to team up with people from other ninja villages to kill your father?"

At that moment, some ANBU members sensed other chakra entering the Raikage's office and immediately appeared, surrounding them. Then, the Fourth Raikage spoke:

"Get out, you have nothing to do here."

The Third Raikage immediately said:

"Don't listen to this unfilial son, arrest them immediately!"

The ANBU captain and most of the ANBU members surrounding Minato and the others were all reincarnated individuals, and they clearly understood the reasons behind the confrontation between the Third and Fourth Raikage! However, since both were their leaders, they were caught in a dilemma.

Therefore, they simply surrounded Minato and his group without making a move. Some non-reborn individuals who wanted to intervene were pulled back by those around them, and for a time, the two sides remained in a stalemate.

At that moment, the Fourth Raikage roared:

"Damn it, didn't you hear me tell you to get out?"

After a moment's thought, the Dark Squad leader decided to obey the Fourth Hokage's orders and said:

"I hope you won't harm the Third Raikage."

After all, they had all witnessed peaceful coexistence between the two sides in their memories, so they did not want war!

But the premise is that their Raikage cannot be harmed. At this moment, Kakashi stepped forward and said:

"Don't worry, I can assure you I won't harm your Raikage,"

The Dark Squad leader nodded. He then ordered the men to leave. Seeing this, the Third Hokage, enraged, slammed his right hand on the table and roared:

"What exactly do you want?"

Seeing this, Minato could only try to appease her:

"We have no ill intentions here; we simply wish to have a proper talk with you, Third Raikage."

The Third Raikage snorted and sat back in his seat. Minato glanced quickly at the Fourth Raikage, A, who simply shook his head. It seemed things weren't going well.

Minato summarized his thoughts and was about to speak when Obito suddenly stepped forward and said:

"Can I take care of this, Minato-sensei?"

Minato considered that perhaps Obito, being a fellow war criminal, would understand the other's situation better than he did. Furthermore, there were many things he, as a high-ranking member of the Konoha organization, couldn't say, but Obito could do them for him.

So he nodded and went back. Obito, seeing this, walked out expressionlessly! Rin tried to stop him, but Kakashi stopped her.

At this time, Obito's intervention was perhaps the best choice. Obito walked over and sat down opposite the Third Raikage, introducing himself:

"Hello, Third Raikage. Let me introduce myself first. I'm Obito Uchiha, the initiator of the Fourth Shinobi World War."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Third Raikage's eyes turned cold, and he instantly punched Obito. Minato and Kakashi reacted instantly, but it was too late to come to the rescue given the close proximity of the two sides. Rin, standing nearby, covered her mouth in alarm.

At that moment, the Third Raikage's fist instantly passed through Obito's body and slammed into the ground. With a loud bang, a crater with a radius of more than one meter was created in the ground.

Just as the ANBU commander outside was about to rush in again, he heard the Fourth Raikage's voice coming from inside:

"It's alright, you don't need to worry about this. You can leave now!"

The ANBU captain glanced at the sensory ninja beside him, who nodded. The ANBU captain secretly breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his original position.

As he said, he did not want to clash with the people of the Wood Industry, but he also needed to protect the Raikage's safety.

Inside the Raikage's office, Obito, completely unharmed, turned to look at the Third Raikage and said:
