I am the most popular character in Naruto!

"Minato-sensei! I support Kakashi!"

However, to Minato's surprise, the usually obedient Rin also jumped out at this moment, speaking with a determined expression.

Compared to Kakashi, Rin is an even bigger fan of Chiaki. Even if Chiaki really announced his departure from Konoha, Rin would probably agree.

"Commander-in-Chief, can we interpret Her Highness the Princess's actions as indicating that she has a secret mission?"

Hiashi Hyuga asked Minato in a calm voice.

He appeared to be asking a question, but in reality, he was offering Minato a way out. Minato thanked Hiashi Hyuga with his eyes and said, "That's right, Chiaki has her own mission. Whether our war can end perfectly depends on the outcome of Chiaki's mission."

"Therefore, everyone, there is no need to be nervous or worried. Chiaki going to the Land of Water's camp with the ninjas is not an act of betrayal."

Kakashi and Rin breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving Minato's affirmation. They had been entrusted with the task of looking after the camp when Chiaki and Minato left, so it was reasonable for them to remain in the command room now.

"That's good……"

Hiashi Hyuga nodded in satisfaction. As the head of the most powerful clan, he was very good at managing relationships.

It was clear from the higher-ups that Chiaki's image could not be damaged, so Hiashi Hyuga would naturally do his best to satisfy their wishes.

I only suffered a small loss...

"Then why did Chiaki take one of the Byakugan to the Land of Water?"

Fugaku Uchiha suddenly spoke up, asking, "If the ninjas of the Land of Water were to thoroughly study this Byakugan, wouldn't the Hyuga clan's position be in grave danger?"

"?"

Hiashi Hyuga's lips twitched. "Damn Uchiha, can't you see the situation?"

Trying to replace Hinata's position isn't going to be done this way, is it?

By playing like this, aren't you offending the higher-ups?

As expected, Minato frowned upon hearing Fugaku Uchiha's words.

"Hyuga clan leader, what do you mean?"

Minato turned his gaze to Hiashi Hyuga, who smiled slightly and said, "Clan Chief Uchiha is overthinking it."

"If Lord Chiaki wants to infiltrate the enemy and offer a Byakugan as a pledge of allegiance, I can accept it."

"As for whether the Byakugan will be thoroughly researched, we can only say that since Lord Chiaki has chosen the Byakugan, our Hyuga clan is naturally willing to take this risk."

This statement was cleverly worded, both answering Fugaku Uchiha's question and subtly supporting Chiaki, demonstrating the Hyuga clan's determination to take great risks to support Chiaki.

Compared to Fugaku Uchiha's aggressive style, he was clearly inferior.

"Hehe, then I wish the Hyuga clan leader all his wishes come true."

Seeing that the situation was more or less settled, Fugaku Uchiha bowed slightly to Minato and said, "If there's nothing else, please allow me to excuse myself. There's still a lot of guard work to be done."

After saying that, he turned and left the command room.

The arrogant Uchiha clan found it unacceptable for Hiashi Hyuga to engage in such obsequious behavior, but sometimes, excessive arrogance can also destroy one's own life.

"what the hell……"

Lin watched as Uchiha Fugaku hurriedly left, pouting angrily.

Because of Chiaki, the Uchiha clan was already considered terrible by Rin. Apart from Obito, who was different from the Uchiha clan, she disliked all the other members of the Uchiha clan.

Rin had just witnessed Fugaku Uchiha's performance, which made her mentally condemn the Uchiha clan to death.

As expected, apart from Obito, none of the other Uchiha ninjas were any good!

"Heh, perhaps the Uchiha clan chief is too concerned about the war."

Hiashi Hyuga glanced at Fugaku Uchiha as he left, and said to Minato with a smile.

"It's a good thing to take it to heart."

Minato spoke calmly, but didn't finish his sentence.

Hiashi Hyuga smiled even more broadly, "Yes, it's a good thing to take it to heart."

He didn't need Minato to say the second half of the sentence; he could understand what it meant on his own.

Taking it to heart is a good thing.

But if you take it too seriously, it can backfire.

Fugaku Uchiha made this mistake; he was too open about his concerns, which made him vulnerable to suppression from his superiors.

"Then I'll take my leave now. Commander, please call me if you need anything."

Hiashi Hyuga bowed deeply to Minato and walked out of the command room with a smile.

The command room finally quieted down, and the question of why Chiaki went to the Land of Water with Byakugan was finally put to rest.

Kakashi sighed and slumped into his chair, a stark contrast to his earlier fierce resistance.

"That Uchiha clan leader is really something..."

Lin sat there sulking, still pouting. "How could he possibly suspect that Lord Qianqiu would betray us!"

Minato leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples with a headache. "Stop talking. Luckily, Mirai is still organizing the defense outside. If Mirai heard these words, a fight might break out."

"Let's fight then, who's afraid of who?"

Kakashi pouted and said, "It's not like we haven't fought before! It's not like we can't beat them!"

"Do you think you're some kind of genius? How dare you be so arrogant."

Minato looked at Kakashi with amusement, "Besides, your eyes are all Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, what else do you think you can use to fight the Uchiha?"

"This is different! These are Obito's eyes!"

Kakashi argued his case logically, and Rin encouraged herself, "If Obito were still alive, he would definitely support us too!"

Buzz!

Just as Lin finished speaking, the space in front of her suddenly distorted, and then a boy who made Lin gasp in surprise appeared in front of her.

"Obito!?"

"what!!!"

Minato and Kakashi were both shocked. Obito glanced at them coldly, his eyes filled with hatred.

Chapter 414 The Indian Thief as Father!

There were only four people in the cramped little room.

Minato was stunned, Kakashi was overjoyed, Rin's eyes were shining, and Obito's face was filled with cold hatred.

"Obito!"

"You're back!?"

Kakashi looked at Obito with ecstatic joy. He didn't sense anything different from Obito's expression; he was simply excited that Obito had returned to his side.

"Obito..."

Minato stared at the boy in front of him in disbelief. Regardless of how he appeared in the command room, Minato sensed something was wrong from the waves of energy emanating from him.

Special Jonin!

Or is he a special Jonin who is about to reach the Jonin level!

Before Obito left the group, he was just a genin.

How long has it been?

Was Obito's strength already at the level of a Special Jonin?

This rapid increase in strength even reminded Minato of Chiaki!

Chiaki once said that Obito's talent was better than everyone else's, and could even be compared to his own. At that time, Minato did not believe it too much.

But now that I see it, Obito's talent is not only comparable to mine, it's even stronger than mine!

"Obito! You're back just in time!"

Lin said happily, "Lord Qianqiu needs us right now! Now that you're back, she can finally put her worries to rest!"

"..."

However, Obito couldn't understand the excitement of Minato, Kakashi, and Rin.

He gave a cold snort and reached out his hand to Kakashi, who was standing next to Rin, who was the weakest person in the room.

For some reason, Obito instinctively didn't want to attack Rin, but he was quite indifferent to attacking Kakashi, as if it were perfectly natural.

This feeling made Obito quite satisfied. Those guys who helped that woman, Senju Chiaki, kill his father deserved to die!

As for the order...

As expected, this white-haired guy is still the best!

"Wood Release! Cutting Technique!"

A hidden branch appeared from Obito's hand and was suddenly thrown towards Kakashi.

Swoosh

A whooshing sound came from the air. Before Kakashi could react, he saw a flash of golden light and then found himself in another location.

"Kakashi! Watch out!"

Despite starting later, Kakashi arrived first. It was only then that Minato's voice reached Kakashi's ears. He looked blankly at the spot where he had been standing, next to Rin.

The branch fell to the ground and actually punched a large hole in it. In an instant, the branch expanded and turned into a huge splinter that was obviously capable of killing a person.

Rin was startled, and Kakashi was equally startled. If Minato hadn't rescued him in time, he would have been dead by now!

Kakashi, enraged, yelled at Obito, "Are you crazy?!"

"Do you know what you are doing?!"

"Do you want to kill me? Huh?"

"You've grown stronger and more arrogant outside? You want to fight? Huh?"

If a friend you haven't seen in a long time wants to kill you the moment you meet, no one can stand that.
