In the Hokage Building, Minato was engrossed in a pile of documents.
As the "fastest man" in Konoha, his review speed was naturally not slow, but even he couldn't keep up with the piles of documents being sent in. In the end, Minato slumped weakly against the back of his chair.
He looked up and sighed.
"Being the Minister of Administration is really tough. I wasn't this tired when I was Hokage!"
"What? Trying to back out?"
Senga suddenly appeared in front of Minato, startling him so much that he jumped up from his chair.
He calmed himself down and complained to Senga.
"Senga, can you please stop appearing and disappearing so mysteriously? It's scary!"
Senga shrugged and said nonchalantly,
"Your Flying Thunder God technique isn't much better, and you still have the nerve to criticize me?"
"My Flying Thunder God should at least leave a mark, why don't you need one? Did you improve the Flying Thunder God again?"
"I'm not using the Flying Thunder God Technique; you wouldn't understand the principles behind it even if I explained them!"
"Tch, fine, don't tell me then, but at least tell me the name of this technique! Let me give you my opinion!"
"No, you should keep those names for yourself!"
Minato's naming style was quite outrageous even in the entire Ninja World, so it was truly remarkable that Naruto was able to get a normal name.
Following Minato's naming style, Naruto should now be called: Super Spiral Flash - Invincible Clone Kid!
Minato was very unconvinced by Senga's questioning and stubbornly tried to argue back, but Senga immediately Teuchi.
"Alright, enough with the chit-chat. I've brought someone for you to meet."
"Huh? Who is it? Which Rogue Ninja did you manage to lure back this time?"
Senga raised an eyebrow, opened the Door-Door Space, grabbed Mizuto by the Minato, and threw him inside.
This was the first time Minato had entered the Door-Door Space. He looked around with curiosity. The dark green space was filled with glittering treasures, which dazzled him.
After Senga entered, Minato couldn't help but ask,
"Senga, which ninja village did you rob?"
Senga rolled her eyes and said irritably,
"What robbery? I found these things by chance. Besides, who told you to pay attention to these things?"
As she spoke, Senga pressed Minato's head down, making him look towards a corner.
There, Obito was bound by Black Rod and staring blankly at Minato.
Seeing Minato looking this way, Obito asked, trembling.
"Minato... teacher?"
Minato stared at Obito for a long while, then hesitantly asked,
"You are... Obito?"
Obito nodded stiffly, then looked at Senga with a very complicated expression.
"You used the Rebirth Technique?"
In his view, the only technique that could truly bring someone back to life was the Rebirth Technique within the Rinnegan, and Uchiha Madara even planned to have Nagato use this technique to revive him.
The price of the Rebirth Technique is too heavy; the caster must pay with their life. Yet, Senga seems to be alive and kicking all over the place.
Was the information Uchiha Madara gave me incorrect?
Come to think of it, since the price of the Rebirth Technique is death, Madara probably never used it himself, so it's understandable that the information was inaccurate.
Obito quickly filled in the blanks in his mind about how Minato had been resurrected, and Minato was also wondering how Obito had been "resurrected".
He asked Senga excitedly,
"Senga, you're the Obito, right? Thank you so much!"
Upon hearing Minato's words, Obito felt a pang of guilt, after all, he was responsible for Minato's death back then.
Senga shook her head and said,
"Your disciple didn't actually die, and you even met during the Nine-Tails's rampage."
"What?"
"He's the masked man, do you remember now?"
"What did you say!?"
Minato looked at Obito in disbelief. Meeting Minato's gaze, Obito silently lowered his head, his meaning clear.
Minato paused for a moment, then asked,
"Obito, can you tell me why you did that?"
Speaking of this, Obito suddenly raised his head and said hatefully,
"To change this hellish world!"
Obito's expression looked unusually ferocious, making him feel completely unfamiliar to Minato.
In his memory, Obito was still that passionate young man who dreamed of becoming Hokage. He cherished his comrades and loved Konoha, completely different from the Obito of today.
The master and disciple remained silent for a moment.
Senga gently shook his head. He walked up to Obito, looked him in the eyes, and said...
Is what you're seeing real?
Obito paused for a moment, then asked,
What do you mean by that?
"Heh, Madara must have left Cursed Seal on your heart, right?"
"... You even know this?"
"I know more than that. I also know that the same Cursed Seal was planted in Lin's heart back then!" M.
"What!?"
"Surprised? Didn't you ever wonder why Kakashi stabbed Rin through the chest? Because she knew she was being controlled, and it was her own choice!"
Obito's eyes widened. He would never forget the scene from back then; the shock was enough to propel him directly from the Futatsudomoe Sharingan to the Mangekyo.
After that, he completely despaired of the world and embarked on the path that Madara had laid out for him.
But now he learns that there's more to the story than meets the eye back then; Lin was actually Cursed Seal, and in the same spot as his!
Obito asked, trembling.
"Who placed the Cursed Seal on Lin? Could it be...?"
Obito thought of someone, but he dared not and was unwilling to say it.
Senga said it for him.
"Don't you already know the answer in your heart? It was Uchiha Madara Cursed Seal on Rin!"
Minato was startled when he heard Uchiha Madara's name.
"Uchiha Madara? He's still alive?"
Senga shook her head and said,
"He is dead, but he can be resurrected at any time because he left behind a pair of Rinnegan."
"What?! Uchiha Madara has also awakened the Rinnegan!?"
"Yes, once Akatsuki has collected Tailed Beast, that will be the day of his resurrection."
Minato's expression was extremely grave. Only then did he realize that such a terrifying enemy existed in the shadows of the Ninja World.
He continued to ask,
What is his purpose in collecting the Tailed Beast? To rule the world?
"He's not that bored. His real goal is to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi, allowing everyone to enter his dream world, thereby creating a so-called perfect world."
After speaking, Senga looked at Obito, who had been silent for a long time, and asked,
Am I right?
Obito nodded stiffly, his dry lips moving as he spoke.
"Isn't this a wonderful world?"
Senga sneered.
"Living in a virtual world may not be so bad, but do you know what the essence of Infinite Tsukuyomi is?"
