The ninja world is reborn, and everyone is resurrected at the start.

"Instead of feeling guilty, you should think about how to make amends for your mistakes... Although I don't know where these memories came from, how strong must someone be to use such a powerful ninjutsu? And this kind of ninjutsu that transcends space and time must come at a high price. I believe the caster wouldn't use this kind of ninjutsu lightly unless facing a life-or-death situation."

"Yes, and judging from the density of the light just now, there are quite a few people who have been reborn this time. These people should be related to the caster, or at least friends, not enemies."

At that moment, a voice came from behind Minato and the others, picking up where Kakashi left off. Minato's team turned around and saw that the newcomers were none other than the Ino-Shika-Cho trio from Konoha. Leading them was Shikamaru's father, Nara Shikaku, flanked by Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza.

"Greetings, Fourth Hokage! It's been a long time!" Nara Shikaku said respectfully.

“Yes, it’s been a long time, Mr. Shikaku,” Minato said. A glint flashed in Shikaku’s eyes, while Kakashi and Obito beside him both looked thoughtful.

Of the seven people present, there was the Fourth Hokage, the Sixth Hokage, the boss of the Fourth Shinobi World War, and the strategist of Konoha. A single sentence could extract a wealth of information from them!

The other three were clearly not intellectual types, and Choza Akimichi asked, "Why wouldn't these people be enemies of the caster?"

"Explaining things is such a hassle," she said, scratching her head, but still patiently explained to her friend:

"This kind of ninjutsu is clearly a ninjutsu that sacrifices oneself for the benefit of others. A person who can use this kind of ninjutsu must be a person with a broad mind. Such a person must be respected, so how could he have many enemies?"

Furthermore, judging from the way the light fell just now, it can be basically confirmed that those who possess future memories are all people who will participate in the Fourth Shinobi World War.

These people can be called resurrected beings. On the way here, I encountered Asuma and Hizashi, which confirmed that they were not resurrected beings. In other words, those who participated in the battle through Edo Tensei were not resurrected beings.

At this moment, Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza began to understand, "Then why shouldn't Lord Minato be a reincarnated person? How could he claim to be the Fourth Hokage?"

Asking the Question in the Mountains

"If I'm not mistaken, it's because of the person who used this ninjutsu!" Shikaku said, looking at Minato.

"The fact that they went to such great lengths to use this ninjutsu must mean that they want us reborn people to know something, or rather, to change something!"

Lu Jiu paused to gather his thoughts, then continued:

"In that case, we need a spokesperson to tell us the whole story, and this spokesperson must be someone we trust the most or someone we are closest to."

To be able to bring Obito and people from all over the ninja world back to life, one must possess an extremely broad mind. And to have such a broad mind while also possessing strength is extremely rare in the ninja world.

"So that's why you were testing me just now?" Minato said, his expression unchanged.

He had already guessed that Shikaku was testing him when Shikaku called him the Fourth Hokage! But he didn't intend to hide it.

On the contrary, if he wants to change the future, he needs to get more people involved.

"I'm so sorry, Lord Minato, for such a bizarre incident. I must find out everything before I can come up with a better solution," Shikaku said with a sigh.

Shikaku knew that this test couldn't fool Minato, Obito, and Kakashi. He had originally come to discuss countermeasures with Kakashi, but unexpectedly overheard Kakashi's words to Obito!

The quick-witted Shikaku's first thought was that Obito had also been reborn! The fact that even an enemy like Obito could be reborn reminded Shikaku of the scene where Pain resurrected the Konoha ninja!

"Perhaps only this person has such magnanimity and strength," Shikaku thought to himself, which is why he tested Minato to confirm his thoughts.

"Who is this person who gave us a new life, Shikaku?" Akimichi Choza asked!

Nara Shikaku looked helplessly at his best friend and said:

"Who can turn the ninja world into their own, enemies into friends, possess the power to change fate, and be a relative of Lord Minato? Who comes to mind?"

"Naruto Uzumaki!" Akimichi Choza exclaimed. "Shikaku, you said that the person who gave us rebirth was Naruto Uzumaki?"

“It should be him,” Shikaku said with certainty after looking at Minato.

At this moment, Rin looked at everyone with a blank expression. When Choza Akimichi mentioned Naruto Uzumaki, Kakashi, Obito, and Minato's expressions didn't change at all; they had obviously guessed it! Meanwhile, Inoichi Yamanaka looked utterly incredulous…

Unable to contain her curiosity any longer, Lin asked, "What are you talking about? What reincarnated person, what Naruto Uzumaki, what Fourth Hokage? I don't understand a word you're saying!"

Minato patted Rin's head and said, "Don't rush, I'll explain everything to you later."

Meanwhile, Shikaku looked at Obito and said, "Since Naruto resurrected you as well, it means he considers you one of our own. So, what's your answer? Are you with us?"

Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza stood guard, watching him warily, while Kakashi and Namikaze Minato remained silent, simply observing him.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense! Although Rin didn't know what was happening, their intentions towards Obito were very clear. Bewildered, Rin quickly pulled Obito behind her and said:

"If Obito did anything wrong, I apologize on his behalf. Obito didn't mean it,"

After speaking, he looked pleadingly at Kakashi and Minato, hoping they could help him and plead for Obito's life.

Kakashi was about to speak when Minato stopped him. Actually, they didn't intend to make things difficult for Obito. Since Naruto had revived him, and nothing had actually happened yet, things could be changed. However, they were enemies before, and now that they wanted to reconcile, Obito needed to show sincerity, at least make a statement.

Chapter 5: The Meeting of the Fourth Hokage and the Third Tsuchikage

"Thank you, Rin," Obito finally spoke after a long silence! His voice was slightly hoarse as he said, "However, what I did this time cannot be resolved with just an apology."

After finishing his sentence, Obito looked up at Kakashi and Minato, who were filled with anticipation, and said:

"This time I won't make the same mistake again. We're with you, and no matter what difficulties we face, we will overcome them!"

After saying that, Kakashi and Minato grinned, and Obito smiled back, while the Ino-Shika-Cho trio breathed a sigh of relief...

"However, let me make this clear from the start: it's not just our Konoha Village that's been reborn this time; many people from other ninja villages have also been resurrected. Convincing them won't be an easy task," Shikaku said.

"Don't worry," Obito said, looking at Rin. "I will overcome any difficulties and will not let Naruto down."

After saying that, he tightly grasped Lin's hand.

"Don't worry! I'll keep an eye on Obito and won't let him do anything reckless." Although he didn't know what had happened, he didn't want Obito to get hurt, so he spoke first.

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but pout. To be honest, it didn't feel good to be kept in the dark. Out of the seven people, she was the only one who didn't know anything, and she felt somewhat isolated!

Minato noticed Rin's subtle movements and knew what she was thinking, so he said to Kakashi and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio:

"Please gather all the resurrected individuals from Konoha and wait for me at the Third Training Ground. The Third Shinobi World War is currently underway. I'll explain the situation to you first, and then we'll figure out how to end this war."

"Yes, Lord Minato," Kakashi and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio replied. Although Minato had not yet become Hokage, Kakashi and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio had already regarded Minato Namikaze as the Fourth Hokage in their hearts. After saying that, they went their separate ways to find their respective people.

The Fourth Shinobi World War took place more than a decade later, and those who survived then generally don't hold high positions or possess great strength now… As for the ordinary people who weren't ninjas, Shikaku specifically went home to check on his wife when he arrived, only to discover she wasn't a reincarnated individual. The other two members of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio also stated that their wives hadn't been reincarnated either! Therefore, it's almost certain that only ninjas were reincarnated! As for the samurai, that's still unclear.

After Kakashi and the others left, Minato said to Rin:

"I'll explain everything in a bit. Please wait for me at the third training ground. If anyone else arrives, please tell them to wait."

Rin glanced at Minato-sensei, then at Obito, who nodded slightly.

Rin released Obito's hand and said to Minato, "Okay, Minato-sensei, I'll be going now." Rin was a smart person, how could she not know that Minato-sensei and Obito had something to do!

After watching Rin walk away, Minato turned to Obito and said:

"We can't change what's already happened, but dwelling on the past won't help us move forward! We have a lot to do now, and I hope you can all pull yourselves together! Let's work together to change the future."

"Yes, Mr. Minato, don't worry! This time I won't get lost on the path of life, and I will try my best to make up for my mistakes."

After saying that, he changed his tone and continued:

"My Sharingan has already reached the Mangekyou Sharingan stage, but without the First Hokage's cells, I can't use it for long periods. Plus, with my chakra, using it twice a day will exhaust me."

How could Naruto not know what Minato was thinking, having left him here alone? Naruto must have already told Minato about his Sharingan abilities.

Minato left me here so that I could take him to see the Third Tsuchikage: Onoki.

Onoki wasn't Naruto in Nine-Tails Mode; his chakra wasn't as strong, and unlike in the Fourth Shinobi World War, where everyone's chakra was concentrated, he couldn't sense it from Konoha.

Therefore, he can only rely on Obito's Sharingan abilities. Unfortunately, Obito's physical condition is not yet that of the future Obito who has fused with the First Hokage's cells.

Although he can awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan by relying on his memories, he doesn't have enough chakra. Even if he consumes all his chakra, he can only barely make it back and forth to Iwagakure!

"Then get ready. Take me there, to the Tsuchikage Building in Iwagakure, shall we? We're going to meet the Third Tsuchikage."

Obito nodded, channeling all his chakra. The space between Minato and Obito distorted, and a moment later they appeared in front of the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki!

At this moment, Onoki clearly hadn't expected them to appear in this way.

"I can't believe I'll see you again! Obito Uchiha, Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze," Onoki said. "I never expected you to appear before me in this way!"

Onoki waved his hand, calling the ANBU who had just rushed in out, and said.

It's clear that Onoki was also one of Naruto's chosen reborn individuals; otherwise, he would have already ordered the Anbu to surround them!

Although Minato was 90% confident, there was still a considerable risk in venturing into someone else's village. If he guessed wrong, Obito and Minato would be in trouble!

"So you've come here to sign a ceasefire agreement?" Onoki smiled. Being a smart man, he knew Minato's intentions the moment he appeared! He also guessed that the person who used this ninjutsu to resurrect him was Naruto Uzumaki! Therefore, he wasn't surprised that Minato was a reborn individual.

"Signing a ceasefire agreement isn't something the two of us can just do on a whim," Minato said, shaking his head.

"Let our troops retreat to their respective lines of defense first!"

It was clear that Onoki was aware of the process for signing the armistice agreement; he had just mentioned it casually. After thinking for a moment, he added, "I have no problem with that, but you're not the Fourth Hokage yet. Can you command your army?"

"Let's give it a try! Naruto went to such great lengths to resurrect us, not so we could fight another Third Shinobi World War!"

Minato thought for a moment and said that he didn't have a specific method for this matter yet.

But now the Third Shinobi World War has already begun! There simply isn't enough time for him to plan and strategize; he can only take it one step at a time! His first priority, naturally, is to prevent the Third Shinobi World War from escalating and increasing casualties. That's why he risked having Obito bring him to see the Third Tsuchikage!

Unbeknownst to him, the Third Tsuchikage had already ordered his army to retreat to their defensive lines before his arrival!

Chapter Six: Leaving Iwagakure

Onoki ignored Minato and instead looked at Obito Uchiha. Given the precedent of Sasuke Uchiha and Kabuto Yakushi, Onoki wasn't surprised at all to see Obito and Minato together.

"Naruto Uzumaki is truly an incredible person! Sasuke Uchiha, Kabuto Yakushi, and you—he's pulled all of you back to the right path," said Onoki, looking at Obito with admiration.

Although Kabuto Yakushi regained his true self through Itachi Uchiha's Izanami, the crimes he committed were so serious that he deserved to die ten times over. If it weren't for Naruto's protection, how could he have become the director of the Konoha Orphanage?

As for Obito, Onoki, who experienced the Fourth Shinobi World War, knew him very well!

His hands were stained with the blood of the Allied Shinobi Forces, but since nothing had happened yet, Naruto's willingness to use a ninjutsu that could regenerate someone indicated he had encountered an insurmountable opponent! That's why he didn't say anything. He wanted to try trusting those whom Naruto trusted as well!

After the Fourth Shinobi World War, he and the other four Kage gradually eliminated the shackles of hatred through continuous efforts. In the end, he passed the position of Tsuchikage to his granddaughter Kurotsuchi. As for other things, he couldn't remember them!

However, he remembered perfectly clearly the incident after the Fourth Shinobi World War, when Naruto protected Sasuke Uchiha and Kabuto Yakushi!
