Obito's resolve

"Who are you? Why do you have these eyes?" Minato Namikaze was extremely unsettled. The number of terrifying figures appearing before him was increasing, making him realize that the end of the Third Shinobi World War was not the end of the war; rather, it was probably just the beginning of a real war.

The man didn't speak, but his Sharingan exuded immense power and pressure.

But one of the people next to him who got up spoke up for him.

"Hey, now you understand, right? I did all of this, all by myself." Glancing at the people present, Obito turned to the newcomers and said, "Enough, stop. Keeping these scum around makes for a better show."

Madara calmly withdrew Tsukuyomi.

In that instant, the ten Jonin front knelt on the ground, panting heavily.

"Damn it, what kind of eyes are these?"

"They actually made me watch that kind of stuff, damn it, I can't even move!"

"Hey, don't you guys find this strange?" One of them pointed out one of the suspicious things directly. "This guy has such terrifying eyes, and the person in front of us also said that they were the ones who did those things."

"Could it be that they killed everyone in the Uchiha Clan who died?"

Suddenly realizing what was happening, Minato Namikaze looked up at the two people in front of him, gritting his teeth. "Was it all done by the two of you? Was everything a setup? Then why did you come out now?"

"No, Fourth Hokage, you're right about one thing, but wrong about two." Obito was unusually calm. "I did it all by myself. As for the framing, it wasn't framing at all, it was seeking confirmation. I found the answer I needed, so I came out."

Without pausing, he continued, "As for why I'm explaining this to you now, it's because I just want to see the expressions on your faces when you fools are fooled, hahahaha!"

Looking at the people laughing loudly ahead, only one person inexplicably joined in the laughter.

Yang Xing chuckled, touched his nose, and muttered to himself, "The true leader of Akatsuki has been born!"

Obito's words caused a commotion, a huge commotion.

"You bastard, don't even think about running away. After doing that kind of thing, you're not getting away with it."

"Damn it, how dare they make the people of Konoha kill each other, and even made us believe that kind of thing? If you have the guts, stop right there."

Unfortunately, even though these people were shouting, Obito still wanted to leave, and once those two decided to leave, no one could stop them.

"Unfortunately, I don't want to fight you right now." Turning away, Obito glanced at Minato Namikaze, his eyes completely changing. "Fourth Hokage, one day I will come back to fight you again, but not now."

That look lacked respect; it was filled only with deep killing intent.

"You bastard."

All the ninjas chasing the Yang Xing directed their anger at the person in front of them.

"Can we go now?" Madara stepped forward and asked, causing Obito to turn around. "That ability I used just now was my last."

"Yes, I understand." Obito turned and left, giving Yang Xing a deep look before leaping up and running away at incredible speed.

"Don't even think about running away, just wait."

Several Uchiha Clan ninjas, still consumed by rage, charged forward, and even Minato Namikaze couldn't stop them.

At that moment, as soon as he stepped forward, tragedy struck.

"Get back there, you scum!" Obito turned his Obito, and one of his eyes changed. "Dōjutsu, Amaterasu."

Blood kept flowing from the single Mangekyō Sharingan. The Ninjutsu it activated directly struck the closest ninja in front, causing the three ninjas to be engulfed in black flames. The black flames were impossible to extinguish, and in just three seconds, the three Uchiha Clan with Sharingan were burned to ashes.

That happened in just a split second.

"Obito," Yang Xing muttered to himself with a bitter smile as he watched the fire annihilate several ninjas, "Now, you'll never be able to return to the village."

The terrifying power of the Mangekyō truly instilled fear in everyone, and the fact that three Uchiha Clan ninjas died instantly made the others too afraid to pursue it.

"Damn it, damn it!" A group of Konoha ninjas shouted, venting their anger, but not one of them wanted to chase after them to their death.

The matter was resolved satisfactorily, and all the misunderstandings were cleared up quite suddenly.

The Uchiha Clan shifted their suspicions from Yang Xing to the two Uchiha Clan members who had escaped. Although they had sent people to investigate, the findings were difficult for the Uchiha Clan to accept.

Their identities remain unknown. They know nothing about why they appeared, why they possess the Sharingan, why they have the Mangekyō, or why they have powerful Ninjutsu.

All they knew was that all the schemes to frame Yang Xing were orchestrated by those two.

No, to be precise, it's that kid with the Mangekyō.

Meanwhile, in the Fourth Hokage's office inside the Hokage Building, the atmosphere was very tense.

"Actually, Lord Fourth Hokage, I was being presumptuous. There were many suspicious points in the matter." There were still some people in the Starlight Group who sided with Yang Xing, but this matter was very sudden, and the family intervened. Some of the minority supporters were not involved in this matter at all.

The consequences of this incident are hard for many to believe.

Minato Namikaze understood this very well.

"Well, I was indeed blinded by greed at first." Minato Namikaze forced a smile, though it was a rather strained one. "Seeing our fellow Konoha die without even suspecting anything... I really feel bad for that guy."

"Hmm." The man said even more urgently, "Yang Xing is indeed a true genius. The Fourth Hokage should know that even if he had the Sharingan, he would never kill Konoha to obtain it. How could such a genius kill for such a gain? Speaking of which, even without the Sharingan, Yang Xing's powerful Ninjutsu is unmatched by others. Moreover, he learned the high-intensity Lightning Release in just a few days."

Minato Namikaze fell silent; his silent silence spoke volumes.

He now understands that it was indeed his change of heart from the very beginning that led to Yang Xing's current attitude towards Konoha.

"That Lord Fourth Hokage, I may have spoken too much, but with his help, Konoha will surely become even stronger."

"It's no use. No one can persuade him now. In fact, the people of Konoha have broken their promise to him and have no face to say anything to him anymore."

This time, the ninja from the Starlight Group fell silent.
