At the end of May, on the front lines of the Land of Frost, with the Fourth Raikage A regaining his composure, Kumogakure and Konoha returned to a state of confrontation.
Dodai knew Raikage's temperament, so he only reported the suspicious points quietly after the last battle, without mentioning Raikage's capricious actions.
Konoha did not press their advantage because Minato Namikaze had discovered the mysterious " Madara Uchiha ".
Currently, only Shu Furukawa knows about this, and in order to defend against that long-range Space-Time Ninjutsu, Minato also has to remain vigilant at all times.
Due to the astonishing destructive power of the Tailed Beast Bomb, the daimyo of the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Frost jointly sent envoys to Konoha and Kumogakure.
After repeated communication, both sides were willing to negotiate, and it seemed that peace was about to be achieved, but then another supply line of the Kumogakure was destroyed.
Fortunately, both sides remained calm and no conflict occurred, which made Obito Uchiha had come to the front line, frown. He needed to continue weakening the manpower of both sides.
Late at night, in the Konoha camp, Might Guy, who had come to provide support, would occasionally let out a hearty laugh.
Having become Jonin, Might Guy is highly trusted by his clients, and even during wartime, clients specifically request to hire the father and son duo.
Only after supporting the front lines did Might Guy transform into the " Blue Beast of Konoha," single-handedly turning the tide of the battle in the eastern part of the Land of Hot Water with his " Daytime Tiger " Gate of Wonder.
Kakashi was taken aback by his friend's performance, and the thought of Guy wanting to open the Seventh Gate and challenge him left him speechless.
The young ninja was satisfied with the current situation. Although the Land of Frost had been lost, Konoha had reclaimed the Land of Hot Water as a buffer zone, which could be considered as achieving its goal.
The Tailed Beast Wars were truly terrifying. Even the hot-blooded and warlike Uchiha ninjas no longer craved battle; the attacks were so devastating that one wrong move could send them annihilated.
In contrast to the optimistic young man, Minato, who knew the inside story, frowned deeply. After marking locations on a map in the tent, he lowered his voice and whispered, "These are some locations I've noted down. The other side will obviously need to mark them as well when they move around."
"However, we cannot determine whether his marking points have a limit, nor do we know whether the speed of his long-range Space-Time Ninjutsu has increased."
"He must have stolen the Amber Purifying Pot, sealed the Nine-Tails Fox, and carried it with him. We should end this war as soon as possible!"
The thought that the opponent could use the Nine-Tails as a weapon at any time made Minato clench his fists; it was truly terrifying.
As for Obito Uchiha the blame, Shu Furukawa was happy to see it. He didn't know much either, but the other side was wary of Nagato and Black Zetsu: "The accumulated hatred is too great. You've already done your best to return to the negotiating table."
"The best way to counter those Mangekyō Sharingan is still through Dōjutsu. I'll talk to Chief Fugaku when I get back; the Uchiha might have some relevant records."
Shu Furukawa responded with a serious expression, and Minato nodded in agreement. Recalling the ineffective barriers, he couldn't help but mutter with disappointment, "It's a pity that the Reverse Four-Symbols Seal is too slow. Although Kushina tried her best to optimize it, it was difficult for it to be effective."
"It's unclear how many Tailed Beast that Amber Purifying Pot can seal. With such a divine artifact in the hands of a dangerous individual, the Shinobi World may soon experience turmoil."
The artifacts left behind by the Sage of Six Paths do indeed possess extremely powerful effects; their only drawback is that they consume a great deal of Chakra.
Shu Furukawa intended to use it more for "transportation" and, incidentally, to study the principles behind the artifact.
"Whatever his motives, if he wants to achieve his goal, he will eventually reveal them!"
"Don't worry too much, just get some rest when you get back to the village!"
Minato, with his head down, didn't see the strange look in Shu Furukawa's eyes as he spoke. He was only thinking of his beloved son, and his mood instantly improved. "That's true. In this way, Naruto can finally grow up in a peaceful environment!"
" Naruto will be three years old in a few months, right? Should we start his ninja training?"
As soon as Shu Furukawa finished speaking, Minato gave a wry smile. He thought of Itachi Uchiha, the genius of the Uchiha Clan. If that kind of training method were used, Kushina might go berserk on the spot. "Haha, Kushina and I just hope Naruto becomes an ordinary ninja."
Even without ninja talent, it's enough to grow up healthy and happy.

"Genius? Forget about it."
Once the somber atmosphere dissipated, the two relaxed considerably when discussing " Madara Uchiha " again.
Minato also Susanoo. Thinking of the defense described by Shu Furukawa, he could only sigh in his heart. With such an enemy, they must not let their guard down.
At midnight, only Shu Furukawa remained in the tent. As he was routinely accumulating Senjutsu Chakra, Kakashi suddenly appeared outside the tent.
"Come in, Kakashi. You should be resting at this time."
Kakashi scratched his head, entered the tent, and saw the shimmering mark on Shu Furukawa's forehead. A look of curiosity flashed in his eyes, but remembering his own pride, he quickly sat down and whispered, "Osamu, I think I sensed Obito!"
"I know this sounds a bit unbelievable, but is it possible that Obito, like his father, is also stuck on the edge of the Pure Land?"
"I always feel like he's watching me, but maybe I'm just imagining things."
A strange look flashed across Shu Furukawa's face. If Obito earlier, the outcome might have been completely different. Now that the two were about to get married, offering his blessings was the best he could do. "I believe your experience, but Sakumo- sensei must be a special case."
" Kakashi, there's no need to overthink things now. If the war ends completely by the end of the year, you'll be 18 next year."
"Although I feel I'm still very young, I should shoulder more responsibility as an adult."
"Like many of your predecessors, in another two years, you should also be thinking about family matters. Professor Sakumo will be very happy to see you get married."
Thinking of his promise to his father in the Pure Land, Kakashi immediately nodded. Perhaps Obito was also urging him. "I've been overthinking things on the front lines; I've probably been too stressed lately."
"These are some techniques I've come up with to deal with the Tailed Beast; they should give you some inspiration."
"I'm also studying the Chidori ' form transformations, but changing their ultimate nature is still too difficult for me, especially after taking the secret medicine, which makes it hard to control their power."
Having witnessed the Tailed Beast Wars, Kakashi, who had been focused on swordsmanship, had to start researching more powerful and wider-range Ninjutsu.
" Lightning Transmission? That's an interesting idea. With your current Chakra, you should be able to do it."
After carefully examining the scroll, Shu Furukawa praised it, saying that if the Tailed Beast weren't involved, Kakashi would have been able to shine in a battle fought by ordinary ninjas.
Unfortunately, on the battlefield in the Land of Grass, Minato was the one who shone for most of the time, and later he even held off two Jinchuriki by himself, which was due to the change in the form of warfare.
"Kai is getting stronger and stronger. His speed and power are truly astounding. Father was right, he is indeed a formidable opponent."
"With so many casualties this time, let's hope there won't be any more wars for the next 10 years..."
As Kakashi spoke, he thought of Obito again, and he really hoped that the kind-hearted guy could offer his blessing.
After leaving the tent, Kakashi stopped overthinking. Shu Furukawa reminded him that adulthood meant more responsibility, and he had to ensure Rin's happiness. "Peace is coming; let's marry Rin next year!"
Shu Furukawa rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought. Without Indra's Chakra, Obito was all the help he could offer Obito if he wanted to gain more ocular power. "I hope you won't waste this gift; happiness is an extreme emotion."
Obito, possessing both Kamui, can continuously disrupt the Shinobi World and cause turmoil once he obtains powerful eye energy, allowing Shu Furukawa to Collection even more energy.
In this way, once the spiritual body reaches its limit, it can then fuse with the Six Paths Power, thus temporarily achieving its goal.
With this power, the recovery of the Ōtsutsuki's initial Chakra can be put on the agenda.
Shu Furukawa sincerely hoped that Obito could continue to cause trouble. Obito's Dōjutsu was naturally suited for this kind of work, and with his help, as long as he wanted to run away, no one could stop the power of those eyes.
At 4 a. m., a vortex appeared in the dense forest. Obito had mustered up the courage to see Kakashi last night, but in the end he couldn't ask anything and chose to escape into the Kamui Dimension.
The thought of the ring he had seen made Obito's eyes burn, and the more he tried to block out the memory, the more pain he felt.
After being stimulated, Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan's power increased further. Obito against a tree Mangekyō Sharingan, he gasped for breath. The White Zetsu on his body carefully sensed his surroundings and said in a comical tone, "As expected of Lord Madara, he had already thought of how to enhance his eye power!"
"Damn it! They're clearly fakes, why is this happening?"
Obito grew angrier the more he thought about it. He had previously considered using Genjutsu to control Rin and Kakashi, but upon seeing them, he couldn't bring himself to do it. The beautiful memories in his mind were the driving force that kept him alive. "You must break the agreement! Ninjas should die in slaughter! This is your destiny!"
