Is that so...
I was to act alone—no, I was to be completely separated from the defensive forces and assigned as Kushina's personal guard, positioned closest to her.
No wonder I didn't need to know the plan.
This was a double-layered defense system, a double insurance policy.
The defensive forces—the defensive network made up of these elites—were one layer of defense. I, acting separately, was another layer, and one detached from the first layer at that. That made me more flexible and more reliable.
Even if the enemy broke through the first layer of defense, as long as I was by Kushina's side, there would be no problem.

With Minato Namikaze's strength, dealing with Obito without any worries should not be a problem. There was even a strong possibility that he could capture Obito alive.
In the same Space-Time showdown, Obito's eye might not necessarily have the upper hand.
I never expected Biwako Sarutobi's plan to coincide with mine so perfectly.
