Naruto: Changing Fate

Chapter 386: Strangers [Part [-]]

Welcome! "This speed, and the teacher's original Rasengan... it is indeed not an illusion, but the real Fourth Generation Hokage himself."

With the explosion of Rasengan's power, even if Obito entered Kamui's penetration mode, he could not help but enter a weightless state of natural falling due to the collapse of the ground beneath his feet.He then quickly adjusted his posture so that as soon as his toes touched the ground, he would push away with force, keeping distance from Minato.While he was talking and teasing, his face hidden by the mask began to break out in a cold sweat involuntarily due to the appearance of Minato himself.

"But is this really good? You are a teacher, but you come up with a killer move. Are you planning to take action yourself to clean up the family?"

Obviously, at this moment, Obito is more at ease than when he was confronting Shisui - in other words, he is playing like a cat and mouse. It can be said that the roles are reversed, showing a completely different situation. The opposite picture comes.So quietly, Obito, who seemed to be teasing him casually, was secretly psyching himself up as if facing a formidable enemy, and was always alert to the surprise attack that Minato might launch at any time.

After all, let’s not mention it for the moment. After successively experiencing the process of using his divine power to rush on the road and frequently performing pupil techniques in the battle with Shisui, the pupil power remaining in his body is lower than that in his heyday. , already ten to eighty-nine.So much so that Obito's combat effectiveness at this moment has obviously been greatly reduced...

In the current Konoha ninja village, there is no out-of-control Nine-Tails that can affect Minato's mood, so that Minato is forced to resort to quick attacks because he is eager to retreat from the enemy.Not to mention that in Obito's view, Minato, who at a young age had firmly established himself as the Fourth Hokage with his impressive military exploits, what if his strength has not improved at all in these years?I'm afraid even beating Obito to death is a lie that is absolutely impossible to believe!

It was precisely because of this that Obito, who had been able to vent his anger due to the raging scene of violent explosions, had just relaxed a little.In the face of the crisis that Minato was approaching in person, he had to use his words to delay as much time as possible for his eyes to recover, while quietly thinking about how much chance of success he could have if he left directly with his divine power.

In other words, Obito at this moment, let alone Minato who suddenly appeared in front of him, continues the fruitless one-on-one contest a few years ago... After confirming that Minato's figure is real and not a hypocrite After the illusion, he was thinking wholeheartedly about how he could successfully escape from Minato's hands!

And this huge contrast between before and after is the terrifying and intimidating power that Namikaze Minato possesses under the golden shining name of Konoha!

"Even if I get close with the Flying Thunder God Technique, it still fails... It's such a troublesome ability."

At the same time, Minato knew the outcome of the attack the moment it failed, and it was destined to be in vain.So much so that even though he was temporarily stiff due to the attack, he could only watch Obito move away and was unable to pursue him immediately.Not only was Minato not unwilling to be angry, but he was expecting it. After just murmuring and complaining, he stood up again with a natural look on his face.Then, after seeing Obito landing firmly on his feet, he frowned slightly and continued speaking word by word.

"Cleaning the portal? Judging from the performance back then, even if the Rasengan hits you, it will not threaten your life...at most, it will make you seriously injured, but you still have the power to fight back, right?"

"Oh? In other words...from the beginning, you just wanted to capture me alive, but you didn't intend to hurt my life?"

Facing the familiar face reunited after a long absence, Obito inadvertently brought back all kinds of beautiful memories from the past.But it also inevitably reminds Obito that it was precisely because of the two "latenesses" of the person in front of him that it led to the separation of life and death that makes him sad to this day.So much so that he frowned, even in the face of the fact that his identity had been revealed, he did not continue to play the identity of "Uchiha Madara" in vain.But at this moment, Obito still had no desire to reminisce about the past with the person in front of him. Instead, he snorted and sneered in a strange way.

"As expected of a teacher, this calm judgment is really the same as the decision to split up during the battle of Kannabi Bridge. It is as accurate as ever..."

"The Battle of Kannabi Bridge... Sure enough, are you still resentful that the teacher failed to arrive in time to rescue you during that incident?"

Hearing that the person in front of him intentionally mentioned the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, Minato's originally aggressive questioning words were immediately halted.Then the furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and a slightly apologetic look appeared involuntarily. At the same time, Minato's tone when he spoke again, inadvertently, became a little softer and gentler, as if comforting a child. .

"I was on a mission on the other side of the battlefield at the time, so even if I came as quickly as possible, it was still too late... and, in that case, we all thought you had..."

"Thought I was dead, right?"

It's a pity that Obito, who had already completely fallen into the path of darkness, had no intention of appreciating the guilt and apology that appeared in Minato's words.On the contrary, he responded with a cold mocking voice, and even the title he used for Minato was deliberately changed, becoming much stranger and colder.

"Hahaha——! But I'm so sorry! Teacher... no, Lord Yondaime Hokage. Not only did I survive, but I also became the most troublesome enemy in your life..."

"Indeed, failing to save his disciple is the teacher's dereliction of duty and is understandable..."

Faced with Obito's constant ridicule and the cold words that cut into his heart, Minato's face felt as if a five-flavor bottle had been knocked over. It looked mixed and complicated, and it no longer looked as aggressive as before.So much so that he stretched out his arms, as if trying to save and compensate Obito in front of him, and responded slowly and as gently as possible.

"But since you are still alive, why didn't you contact us? If you had contacted us earlier, I, Kakashi...we could all have helped you..."

Minato's questioning words made Obito's thoughts, which were slightly immersed in memories, involuntarily return to the first time he met Uchiha Madara - that is, he was rescued by Uchiha Madara, dragging his broken body. , the moment he wakes up from the hospital bed.

Obviously, during that period, Obito, who was ecstatic because of the unexpected discovery that he did not die as he originally imagined, was indeed what Minato said.All he could think about was how to get out of that dark cave so that he could tell Minato and others the good news that he was still alive as soon as possible...

This almost obsessive goal drove Obito to slowly recover and devote himself to the arduous and lengthy rehabilitation practice with [-]% effort.In the end, as if a miracle occurred, not only did the seriously injured body on the verge of death regain the ability to move freely.After completely adapting to the right half of the body created by the implantation of White Zetsu - or, in other words, the cells of the First Hokage - Obito's overall strength has made a qualitative leap.And finally got his wish, the core motivation to successfully leave the cave!

But this beautiful and innocent idea only lasted until the moment Obito left the cave...

Because, on that day, Obito witnessed with his own eyes and deeply understood what purgatory on earth is...

"Help me? Haha! Hahaha——!"

It was precisely because of this that Obito, whose heart was scarred by memories, couldn't help but speak more disdainfully and indifferently.Then he raised a hand slightly and covered his forehead covered by the mask. Obito looked up to the sky and laughed wildly as if he had heard some big joke.

"You two are just useless trash who can't do anything and can't protect anything? You actually dare to say so brazenly that you can help me? Huh! You'd better save yourself from such ridiculous remarks!"

"Calm down, Obito, and let the teacher help you..."

From the various rebellious and negative emotions shown in Obito's words and deeds, Minato was able to conclude that the person in front of him was on the road to darkness, and there was no possibility of turning back.He will never let go of all the past grievances and resentments and return to the village just because of his words of comfort.But he still didn't give up, and kept his tone as calm as possible while responding to people's sarcastic words.While sorting out the logic of the words in his mind, he continued speaking in a gentle voice.

"Besides, it was just an accident... Didn't the teacher say that? The teacher made a mistake in his judgment and failed to arrive in time, so..."

"Accident? Just an accident? Hahaha... You really dare to say that!"

However, Minato's words did not bring out the slightest thought of relaxation and comfort in Obito's heart.It was even more counterproductive, causing an unknown fire to suddenly rise in Obito's already deeply resentful heart!Then, while deliberately emphasizing the vocabulary and intonation, he responded with a straightforward sneer.

"The Fourth Hokage, Lord Namikaze Minato... Could it be that even today, you still naively think that the reason why I hate you so much is because you failed to save me in time in that battle. Will you get off me?"

Obviously, Minato's words of comfort brought back the scene in Obito's memory that he least wanted to remember.So that before Minato could continue to open his mouth to defend, Obito seemed to have opened a chat box, mixing the resentment and anger that had accumulated in his heart over the years into cold questioning words, and vented them to his eyes without reservation. That should have been the teacher I respected and admired the most in my life!

"From the moment I made the decision to become a ninja, I already knew that if I wanted to win the war, sacrifice was inevitable... What's more, I am self-aware, so I know very well, With my strength, even if I am qualified as a genin and can rush to the battlefield, I will probably die on the battlefield sooner or later due to lack of strength."

It was precisely because of this that Obito seemed to be in a state of flux, even though he was completely overwhelmed by all these negative emotions.But the words that came out of his mouth seemed to have softened, becoming much gentler and calmer.

"In other words, from the beginning to the end, I have never resented you for not being able to save me in time... because I know that you were only performing necessary and key tasks, and you were not There is a way to escape in time. But this does not mean that you do not care about us, nor does it mean that you have not tried your best to save and protect the lives of the three of us as much as possible..."

"Have you never resented your teacher? This kind of thinking is indeed your style, Obito."

And at the moment when the words had just fallen, Minato was able to judge that all the words Obito said were from the bottom of his heart, rather than deliberately saying nice things like an afterthought - after all, Obito was completely black. Before becoming a child, even though Obito was called a "crane tail" and suffered all kinds of cold discrimination, he still remained unmoved and grew up into a warm-hearted and kind-hearted boy - but it was precisely because he knew this in his heart that he let him The guilty and apologetic look on Minato's face involuntarily deepened.Then, subconsciously, all the murderous intent gathered around Minato dispersed, and at the same time, he asked in a warm voice.

"But if that's the case, why are you now..."

"Didn't I tell you earlier? Because you and Kakashi are both useless people who can't fulfill their promises and can't accomplish anything..."

Obito, who was expecting Minato to ask this question, directly interrupted Minato's futile conciliatory words. In the blink of an eye, the tone of his mouth seemed to have completely changed. From the original gentle and calm appearance, Immediately plummeted into the ice cave!When responding with words, his whole body trembled from time to time, so even with the mask blocking it, it was enough for Minato to easily judge that at this moment, Obito must be clenching his teeth under the anger. An extremely twisted and angry face!

"If you say that in that battle, you couldn't save me in time because there was really no other way, I can understand..."

"But it was the cowardice and incompetence of you and Kakashi that led to Lin's death...and now, you simply describe it as an 'accident' and just want to get away with it?"
