Obito Uchiha and Uchiha Jin appeared out of thin air in the clearing.
Obito still had one hand resting on Jin's shoulder.
To Minato Namikaze, the sight was no different from the sky falling.
This had to be a joke.
How could those two really have gotten together!
So Lord Third hadn't been lying...
Obito Uchiha noticed Minato Namikaze standing nearby, questioning everything. Beneath his mask, his expression turned playful.
How interesting.
Seeing this would surely plant a seed of doubt in his teacher's mind.
Once doubt took root, trust would crumble sooner or later.
When that happened, Uchiha Jin would have no choice but to leave the village and go far away.
Then he could only come slinking to him for refuge.
"Jin, it was a pleasure working with you."
Obito Uchiha waved to him, then vanished on the spot.
Uchiha Jin: "..."
This guy really was vicious!
He was trying to make Minato Namikaze suspicious of him this way.
Now Jin wasn't sure whether anyone would believe his explanation.
"Fourth, it isn't what you think..."
Uchiha Jin held nothing back, truthfully explaining how Hiruzen Sarutobi had joined forces with Obito Uchiha to try to kill him, as well as what Hiruzen Sarutobi had summoned using Impure World Reincarnation.
"It might sound a little absurd, but that's what really happened."
Minato Namikaze did not answer immediately.
He was considering whether it was true.
Had the Mysterious Man not been involved, he would have been quite willing to believe Uchiha Jin.
The Third certainly had ample motive to do such a thing.
But what the Mysterious Man had said before leaving left him no choice but to harbor doubts.
Mainly, the two of them had seemed quite familiar with each other.
To say there was no connection whatsoever between them...
