I, Naruto Uzumaki, don't need your approval.

Chapter 335 When the Dragon Vein Returns, Minato's Memories Were Not Sealed (9)

Obito frowned. He hadn't expected that a mere ANBU member could hold out for so long. He immediately activated his chakra, causing the wooden spikes to grow inside the female ANBU member's body, instantly transforming into a blooming flower.

Despite suffering such severe injuries, the female ANBU continued to fight, keeping her eyes fixed on Obito.

Dark red chakra then appeared within his body, transforming into a tailed beast cloak that covered his entire body, emanating a violent aura, and a tailed beast ball began to condense in his mouth.

The familiar chakra fluctuations startled Obito slightly, and he stared blankly at the three tails behind the female ANBU.

The combination of a female ANBU member and the Three-Tails Jinchuriki reminded Obito of Rin Nohara, whom he longed for. But wasn't Rin Nohara's heart pierced by Kakashi right in front of him?

Just then, the Tailed Beast Ball blasted towards Obito, creating a crater large enough to fill a reservoir.

The violent explosion damaged the Tailed Beast Ball's outer garment, and the female Anbu's mask shattered like a tile, revealing a face covered in paint, her eyes filled with hatred as she stared at Obito.

"How could this be? This is impossible!"

Obito froze on the spot, wondering if he had seen wrong. Wasn't Rin already dead? How could she be in Konoha's Anbu? He had just seriously injured her!

At that moment, Kakashi, who arrived late, caught the swaying Rin Nohara in his arms.

The two stood side by side, staring at the mysterious masked man in front of them, and said solemnly, "Lord Fire Fourth Generation will be here soon. I advise you to surrender quickly!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Obito suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart and regretted his previous actions.

Fate seemed to play a cruel joke on him. Just as he was approaching the world with love, his enemies killed him, and Kakashi personally plunged the Raikiri into Rin's heart.

When he abandoned everything and wanted to destroy this hellish world, Rin and Kakashi stood in his way, becoming his enemies in realizing his dream.

If his dream is to create a world with Lin, then what does everything before him matter?

Was he under an illusion, or had the world deceived him?

After asking himself a few questions, Obito lost the will to fight. He couldn't bring himself to point the chains at Rin, even though Rin wanted to kill him.

However, at this moment, he dared not reveal his true identity while attacking the village.

He didn't want Nohara Rin to look disappointed, nor did he want to make a move in front of his beloved and be questioned about his reasons for doing so.

Let's leave quietly and watch Lin from the darkness.

Rin sees Obito as a hero of the village, so let that impression remain; she only needs to offer her silent blessings.

However, he couldn't help but fantasize about how much better it would be if he were standing next to Rin instead of Kakashi.

Just as Obito was about to use Kamui to leave Konoha, a figure emerged from the void, slowly grabbed Obito's arm, and threw him to the ground.

Then, a mysterious figure appeared in front of Obito and shattered Obito's mask with a single punch.

He exposed his ugly face to Kakashi and Rin Nohara, then said calmly, "Isn't it a bit much to just attack the village and leave like this?"

"Who are you?" Obito shouted, then covered his face with his hands.

But the instant the mask shattered, Kakashi and Rin Nohara recognized Obito's face. They froze, their voices trembling, and asked, "You're Obito?"

"Who is Obito? Am I Madara Uchiha?"

Obito continued to argue, but the mysterious figure forcefully pried open his fingers, revealing his face to Kakashi and Rin Nohara.

"Long time no see. As members of the team, don't you guys want to chat?"

Naruto Uzumaki said casually, his tone tinged with amusement.

"I didn't expect it to really be you, Obito. My Sharingan is reacting." Kakashi looked at his former friend with a complicated expression, while Rin Nohara fell silent.

"Obito, why did you attack the village? Why did you attack your teacher's wife and child?"

"I am not Obito, this is just a body that I am using."

Obito was on the verge of a mental breakdown, speaking incoherently as he tried to prove he was acting against his will, but he still saw the complex look in Rin Nohara's eyes, and then he explained:

“This body was already rotten when I found it, and everyone you know is already dead.”

Obito's defiant expression only confirmed his identity to Kakashi and Rin Nohara, who sighed inwardly.

After calming down her bad mood, Rin Nohara slowly walked to Obito's side:

"It's been a long time since I've seen Obito. You really went too far this time. Even I can't quite understand it. But you must have had your reasons. However, when you do something wrong, you have to admit it properly."

After saying that, Rin Nohara returned to Kakashi's side.

Rin Nohara's gentleness reminded Obito of the past.

But it was precisely this gentleness that caused him immense pain. He would rather Lin scold him harshly and punch him a few times than speak words of distance in a gentle tone.

Naruto glanced at Obito, who looked at him as if he were looking at a puppy that had lost its owner, and a smile gradually crept onto his lips.

Although he was just a shadow clone used for experiments, he found it very comfortable to see this scene.

Next, all he needs to do is hand over the information about this timeline to his original body, and he can perfectly complete his mission and return to his original body.

That guy in real life is really something. He can relax all by himself, but he makes his shadow clones do everything.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from afar. The Fourth Hokage activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and appeared not far away. Upon seeing Naruto's figure, he frowned.

The dragon veins have clearly been sealed, so why is Naruto still here?

Naruto smiled slightly, then disappeared from the spot and entered the alternate dimension.

The Fourth Hokage's expression was extremely solemn, but now was not the time to look for Naruto; he should go and see his three students first.

The Three-Tails Jinchuriki, Kakashi with Flying Thunder God Technique, and Obito in his dark form.

None of these disciples were easy to get along with; they were all problem children. Obito's problem was the most serious, as he had committed the sin of attempting to assassinate the Hokage.

According to the current rules of Konoha, he must spend the rest of his life atoneing for his sins.

In addition, be careful of Naruto hiding in the shadows. Naruto will definitely not forgive Obito, and he will not even meet with him. This is the real big trouble.

However, the Nine-Tails' rampage has now come to an end.

The next step is to find out who is behind Obito's actions and the Akatsuki organization. The gears of fate are likely to undergo a major shift.

Author's Closing Remarks

This is my second Naruto novel, and overall I'm quite satisfied with it.

However, many issues remain unresolved, such as the recognition system and the fact that Naruto doesn't need recognition. Becoming a rogue ninja and leaving the village is also a significant problem, leading to a sharp drop in subscriptions and sales.

However, the writing about the Chunin Exams pulled me back quite a bit.

Naruto's story could have ended there, but I wrote for over a month longer, which was a bit of a whim, but at least I explained the ending.

After finishing this book, I don't plan to write about conspiracy theories in Naruto. Not only is it too depressing, but it also means there won't be much to write about later on. I might as well do something fun.

As for the next book, it will most likely be an original work, but it will probably be published under a different name.

After all, according to the tradition in the Naruto world, one Naruto book is followed by one original work, and then the original work is sacrificed to give the new book a good boost. I plan to give it a try.

Of course, that was just a joke.

The main thing is to change my mindset. Writing the same thing over and over again can lead to getting tired of the satisfying parts. Some satisfying parts have been repeated so many times that I've stopped enjoying them and omitted them (which is really tough).

That's it for now, I'm going to go and immerse myself in novels.

The new book has been released.

Starting as the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

The following is a brief introduction:

Having traveled back to the Akatsuki organization during Yahiko's time, Byakuya originally wanted to escape as soon as possible to avoid becoming a victim of Pain's birth, but unexpectedly obtained a system bound to the Akatsuki organization. As long as the Akatsuki organization grows stronger, he can receive system rewards.

To prevent the Akatsuki from being completely wiped out, Byakuya had no choice but to guide the Akatsuki's development, leading them down a completely different path.

When Hanzo and Danzo joined forces to destroy the Akatsuki, they were surprised to find that the Akatsuki actually had the power to overthrow Amegakure.

Many years later, the five great nations suddenly realized that the Akatsuki organization had quietly overturned the entire ninja world and become its uncrowned king.

All of this is inseparable from the man hidden deep within the Akatsuki organization.
