call out.

When the water gate reappeared, it was in an antique courtyard.

In the clear pond stands a rockery made of piled stones, with water flowing continuously from the top of the rockery into the startled deer below. As the bamboo tubes gradually fill with water and turn invert, they produce a series of crisp sounds.

Beside the stream stood a large tree, beneath which lay three stones, and a man wearing an orange mask stood there lost in thought.

Minato recognized them immediately; they were the people who attacked Konoha during the Nine-Tails Night.

Moreover, that person still had his Flying Thunder God mark on him.

It was precisely because the attackers bore the Flying Thunder God mark that Minato ruled out the possibility of the Uchiha clan members causing trouble in Konoha.

Otherwise, given Tobirama Senju's personality, he would have already turned the Uchiha clan upside down.

Barely suppressing his anger, he spoke in a deep voice, "If you have people you can't let go of, why did you do such a thing to the village?"

The masked man's body jolted upon hearing this, then he slowly turned to Minato: "Why were you able to find me?"

Seeing that Minato didn't speak, the masked man could only helplessly shrug and say, "Fine, as long as we take care of you here, that's fine."

He did a thorough review of the battle on the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

In short, they don't understand the second stage of Flying Thunder God Technique.

Now that we have intelligence, he won't lose as long as he uses all his strength.

As for the support from other Konoha ninjas, it was completely useless against his abilities!

The masked man dodged in front of the three stones under the tree and raised his hand to form a hand seal.

Fire Release: Storm Dance!

Rumble!

The terrifying flames were distorted by the eerie spatial fluctuations and spiraled towards the Water Gate.

Minato quickly dodged in a flash.

At the same time, Minato also noticed the other party's subtle actions in protecting the three small stones.

"You have someone important to you from the past there, don't you? Since you care about him so much, why do you still create hatred in Konoha?"

"It's too late to say all this now!"

The sound came from behind the water gate, along with a cold sensation on my neck.

Minato quickly drew his kunai and turned to block the fatal blow. When he saw the weapon in the masked man's hand, his pupils contracted sharply.

"This is... Wood Release?"

……

At Fugaku's house.

The noise coming from the clan cemetery naturally alerted Fugaku and Orochimaru, who were discussing the sale of weapons.

Mikoto hurriedly picked up the still-sleeping baby Sasuke, took Itachi's hand, and said to Fugaku, "Fugaku, I'll take the clan to safety first!"

Fugaku nodded, then put on his ninja vest and headed straight for the cemetery.

Without him needing to specifically remind them, the Uchiha ninjas would gather in an orderly fashion towards the cemetery.

Orochimaru was naturally with Fugaku. The one who could cause such a commotion in the cemetery was none other than the unnamed creator of the Nine-Tails' chaos.

I never expected that he would come to see his grandmother first!

……

cemetery.

The moment Fugaku arrived, he saw that Minato's surroundings were covered with wooden spikes that had burst from the ground, and a black-robed, masked man was stabbing Minato in the back with a wooden spike.

Without the slightest hesitation—

shhhhhh!

With the aid of the Sharingan, the kunai drew a beautiful arc in the air, almost completely blocking Obito's chances of retreating, while also cleverly avoiding Minato's figure.

An ordinary ninja would have a hard time dodging Fugaku's attack, and even a skilled ninja would be unable to launch an effective attack on Minato.

However, the kunai seemed to pass through Obito's body as if it were a phantom the moment it struck him.

However, Obito lacked combat awareness; he only sensed that he was about to be attacked and subconsciously activated his Mangekyou Sharingan.

Therefore, the wooden spikes in his hand passed through Minato's body like phantoms.

"Is that... an illusion?" Fugaku's pupils dilated suddenly upon seeing this, and his crimson Sharingan spun wildly in his eye sockets, revealing an expression of disbelief.

"No, that's some kind of space-time ninjutsu. When you attacked him, his body was teleported to another place."

Minato appeared in front of Fugaku in a flash, gave him a grateful look, and then looked at Orochimaru and said, "As expected of Lord Orochimaru, you knew the characteristics of the opponent's ninjutsu with just one glance."

at the same time--

Shhhhhh.

A dozen or so Uchiha ninjas quickly arrived and surrounded Obito.

"Hokage-sama, what exactly is going on?" Fugaku asked.

"He's the mysterious person who attacked Konoha on the night of the Nine-Tails!"

Fugaku and the surrounding Uchiha also showed expressions of anger upon hearing this.

Although the Fourth Hokage proved their innocence, the fact that the Sharingan could still be controlling the Nine-Tails remains a heavy burden on their minds.

Naturally, they wanted to take down the masked man directly and then completely prove their innocence.

Just as Fugaku was about to order the Uchiha to attack the enemy, he saw Obito frantically forming hand seals, and a massive amount of chakra condensed around him.

"Retreat now!"

Rumble!

The earth trembled, and countless wooden spikes shot out in a spiral.

Fortunately, the Uchiha ninjas used their Sharingan to detect in advance that their opponent was gathering a large amount of chakra, thus avoiding being turned into meat skewers.

"Fugaku, have your men guard outside. The enemy isn't so easy to deal with!" Orochimaru said in a deep voice.

Obito can be considered the first Hokage of Naruto, a genius with White Zetsu cells that ensured he could survive severe injuries, Kamui to evade attacks, and Wood Release for close-range combat.

Even if a typical ninja knows the opponent's weakness, the only way to defeat him is through teamwork.

Upon hearing this, Fugaku waved for his subordinates to leave.

Orochimaru immediately formed hand seals, summoning a large number of small white snakes, and then raised the Kusanagi sword to slash at Uchiha Obito.

Obito repeatedly used Kamui's space-time teleportation to launch sneak attacks, but all of this was seen by the surrounding white snakes, who then relayed the information to Orochimaru through coded messages.

This was developed by Orochimaru based on the same ability as Pain's Six Paths vision. Although it is not direct image information, it is still very useful for dealing with such strange space-time ninjas.

After several failed sneak attacks, Obito realized that his opponent had found a way to counter his sneak attacks, and therefore he began to consider retreating.

Wooden spikes materialized in his hand again, but this time he attacked almost touching Orochimaru's body, completely ignoring the Kusanagi sword in front of Orochimaru.

Orochimaru immediately realized from Obito's actions that the latter wanted to use Izanagi to fake his death and escape.

He secretly formed a hand seal and directly swapped hearts with Obito.

The wooden spike pierced Orochimaru's heart, then exploded instantly, with countless more wooden spikes emerging from behind him.

Orochimaru's mouth was bleeding, but he still wore a calm smile.

"Heh heh heh, trying to fake your death with Izanagi to escape, Uchiha Obito?"
