Naruto: I, Naruto, started with the Rinnegan

However, Konoha's glorious days have passed, but at that time everyone, including its enemies, believed that Konoha would prosper and reach new heights under the leadership of the Fourth Hokage.

It's just a pity that the Nine-Tails' rampage destroyed everything...

.........

"If only you were still alive...

Watching the Konoha ninja united under Minato's leadership, fighting the enemy with one heart and one mind, a hint of regret flashed in the Third Hokage's eyes.

If Minato were still alive, he could retire peacefully and enjoy his old age, instead of being stuck in the position of Hokage like this now... making more mistakes and becoming disliked. If he continues, he might even ruin his reputation in his later years.

Yes, that's right. The third generation still has self-awareness and knows that he has made many mistakes.

Allowing Orochimaru to betray the village, the death of Hizashi Hyuga, the rumors about Naruto, condoning Danzo's persecution of the village's ninjas, the massacre of the Uchiha clan...

These things were known to three generations as wrong, and they all wanted to change them, but none of them did, and they even became accomplices.

What is the reason?

As people age, their energy and spirit decline, and their abilities or, to put it another way, they lose their drive and courage.

.........

"teacher……"

As Kakashi ran, he approached the battlefield and heard the ninjas shouting "Fourth Hokage!" He paused for a moment, then sped up and soon saw a short, golden figure directing the ninjas in battle.

"Who are you……"

Minato turned around and saw the ANBU uniform, silver hair, one eye, and a distinctively dejected aura.

"Kakashi, long time no see, you've grown taller," Minato said with a gentle smile.

"You're really a teacher?!" Kakashi stared wide-eyed at the child in front of him, seemingly incredulous.

However, the other person's demeanor and tone do resemble a teacher. Could it really be a teacher?

Kakashi hesitated.

"This child..."

"Naruto, my son, Kakashi, don't you recognize him?" Minato looked at Kakashi with a meaningful gaze.

"I...I'm sorry."

Kakashi lowered his head in shame. "I'm sorry, teacher. I failed to take good care of Naruto and let you down."

Since the Nine-Tails' attack, Kakashi has been trapped in a state of torment, devoting all his time to busy ANBU missions to numb his wounded soul.

As for Naruto...

Subconsciously, Kakashi didn't want to see Naruto; not only did he not want to see him, he even deliberately avoided hearing news about Naruto.

Hearing news about Naruto reminds me of my teacher and his wife.

The two were once happily in love, but now their souls have returned to the underworld.

Then the pain begins.

After waiting for a long time, Kakashi did not receive the blame he expected, but only heard a sigh.

"Kakashi, I used to blame you a little."

Minato patted Kakashi's...

I wanted to pat his shoulder, but because of the height difference, I ended up patting his waist instead.

Patting Kakashi's lower back, Minato said, "But seeing you like this now, I feel that you're the one who really needs to be taken care of... Kakashi, the dead can't be brought back to life. Don't keep dwelling on the past. Seize the present. You need to pull yourself together. I believe Rin and Obito don't want to see you continue to be so depressed. It's time for you to move on..."

"Come out?"

Kakashi was taken aback, then shook his head with a wry smile. It was easier said than done.

.........

Boom boom boom…

After a five-minute break in the attack, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, revealing a large, charred crater in the spot, with a mangled corpse lying inside.

"The forbidden Uchiha technique, Izanagi, can turn events that happen to you within a certain period of time into reality. Dad, be careful."

Inside the sealed space, Naruto, using the Rinnegan as a pretext, recklessly revealed information he shouldn't have known.

"Yes, I understand."

Minato nodded slightly, then reminded the Konoha ninja, "Everyone be careful, the enemy might still be alive."

still alive?

How is that possible?

The body was rotten into several pieces.

Looking at the charred corpse in the pit, the Konoha ninjas were filled with suspicion. Had the Fourth Hokage made a mistake?

Due to the prestige of the fourth generation, no one raised any questions, and many people even obediently became more vigilant.

They believed that the fourth generation's judgment would not be wrong.

And Minato did not betray their trust.

Before long, the corpses in the scorched pit vanished like a dream, and the black-robed man with the swirling mask appeared on a rooftop not far away.

"As expected of you, Yellow Flash."

The dark clouds dispersed, revealing the bright, clear moon.

Under the bright moon, Obito stared at Minato with his scarlet eyes and said indifferently, "Even if you win tonight, I will come back to challenge you another day. I hope... you will still be there then."

After saying that, Obito glanced at Kakashi, snorted coldly, and prepared to use Kamui to leave.

But a voice suddenly rang out from behind.

"Stay here, Madara. I might not be around another day, so why don't you come down with me today?"

During the Nine-Tails' rampage, Minato had left the Flying Thunder God mark on Obito's back. He used this opportunity to catch Obito off guard.

—Tailed Beast Rasengan!

A giant Rasengan infused with Tailed Beast chakra slammed into Obito's back.

boom!

Blood splattered, a large hole was torn in his body, and he was thrown out, falling from the roof to the ground.

Knowing that the enemy was incredibly resilient, Minato didn't stop for a second. He used the Flying Thunder God Technique to catch up, and then smashed a Rasengan at Obito's head.

Danger! !! !!

Obito was still in a daze and hadn't reacted yet, but under the pressure of death, his body was forced to shift a few inches.

Clang!

Maruko brushed past Obito's face, knocking the vortex mask away and leaving a bloody mark on Obito's face.

"Obito?!"

Minato stopped, staring wide-eyed at 'Ban' who had revealed his true form.

"How could it be you?!"

That... silly, careless, helpful, and dreaming of becoming Hokage, Obito.

Why did it become Madara, who directed the Nine-Tails' rampage, killed him and Kushina, killed countless villagers, and even tried to kill his son?

"Oh, we've been exposed... Well, there's nothing we can do about it then."

Obito had already become Hollowfied. He stood up, opened his arms, and his eyes were filled with madness.

"Why can't it be me, Minato Namikaze? The one who killed you and your wife is none other than me, Obito Uchiha! That loser whom everyone looked down on, the one who killed the infamous Yellow Flash! Nobody could have imagined it, right? Hahahaha..."

.........

Inside the sealed space, Naruto looked at his mother, who had been silent since Obito revealed his true form, and cautiously asked, "Mom, what's wrong? Is it because of Obito Uchiha?"

"...Obito, he wasn't like this before."

Kushina said with mixed emotions, "He, like Kakashi, was your father's student, back then..."

She began to recount the past—Obito was the student she worried about the most among Minato's three students, and also the one she liked the most. She always treated Obito like a younger brother, and she was heartbroken for a long time when Obito sacrificed himself. When she was pregnant, she hoped that her child would have the same personality and qualities as Obito...
