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

"You two, father and son, really do look alike!"

The Third Raikage was just as arrogant and conceited as the Fourth Raikage. To get them to listen to Obito with a calm and respectful attitude, one had to demonstrate some strength to intimidate them.

Space-time ninjutsu like this, which involves transferring a part of the body, is not a big burden for Obito, so the amount of chakra consumed is also very small!

From the moment Obito stepped out, he was on guard against the Third Raikage, because back at the scene of the declaration of war in the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Fourth Raikage had suddenly attacked him.

"Can we sit down and talk now?"

The Third Raikage gritted his teeth, his face contorted in a grimace, but remained silent. Although most reborn individuals knew the weaknesses of Obito's ninjutsu, the Obito of that time only had one eye, while he now possessed both. Therefore, no one knew the true extent of Obito's current abilities.

Even Kakashi, who had used the Sharingan once before, didn't know, since Obito had given him the Sharingan back then. However, these weren't Kakashi's eyes to begin with, so he couldn't utilize their full potential!

Seeing the Third Raikage's expression, Obito knew he was very dissatisfied, but he hadn't come to fight him. However, he couldn't show weakness at this moment.

The Third and Fourth Raikage share a similar personality: if someone is weak, they will simply ignore them, let alone try to persuade them.

"You're wasting your energy. I think no one in the entire ninja world combined could catch me."

Obito said that he wasn't lying. His space-time ninjutsu was too special. Before, it was because he gave one of his eyes to Kakashi, which caused his space to be countered by Kakashi. But now it's different. His Sharingan is complete now, so his space-time ninjutsu has almost no weaknesses.

Moreover, in terms of mobility alone, even Kaguya Otsutsuki's space-time ninjutsu is inferior to his.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's space-time ninjutsu primarily involves changing maps. When she faces a crisis, she can transfer herself and her enemy to a map that is advantageous to her, thereby gaining control.

Another function is to break through the space around the enemy to ensure that one's own attack can hit, but when it comes to the ability to traverse the ninja world, Obito is undoubtedly superior.

Now, Obito has gone through the Fourth Shinobi World War and battles with various powerful figures, so his combat awareness is much stronger than when he fought the Fourth Hokage. In addition, his Sharingan has its own space-time ability, so ordinary space-time restrictions are useless against him. Such a person is indeed qualified to say this.

The Third Raikage was furious, but it was no use. He knew Obito was right. Although it was only one strike, those strange Sharingan eyes already felt that he was helpless.

Suppressing his anger, he could only stop attacking and return to the Raikage's position, sitting down as he did so, while also saying to Minato Namikaze:

"The timber industry truly produces many powerful figures," Lei Ying said in a deep voice.

"Speak! What exactly do you want?"

Obito thought for a moment and said:

"Actually, my idea was to throw you directly into the Kamui dimension, and then throw you out when the Otsutsuki clan arrives. At that time, you will either be turned into nutrients and die silently, or you will join forces with us to fight against them."

But your son and Minato-sensei are firmly against it, and I think they're right. You're already weak now, and you'll probably be even weaker later. It's the same whether you're there or not, so it's better to just kill you and let you live in your dream world—that would be more satisfying.”

Hearing this, the Third Raikage's anger, which had finally subsided, was reignited, and he slammed his right hand hard against the table again.

The people of Kumogakure probably knew that their Raikage liked to smash tables, so the table in the building was of particularly good quality. It didn't break even after being hit twice by the Raikage.

"You don't need to be so angry with the Raikage. I'm just telling the truth! Your son and those who were resurrected know very well how powerful Naruto, Sasuke, and I were during the Fourth Shinobi World War. I died later, but Naruto and Sasuke continued to grow stronger. But if even those two couldn't defeat an enemy together, how can you possibly fight against me now when you can't even kill me?"

What's rare this time is that the Third Raikage didn't refute. From the attack just now, he could see that he had no chance of killing his opponent. As he said, if he wanted to leave now, he couldn't stop him at all. His space-time ninjutsu is so strong, there's no reason for his attacks to be weak. Moreover, he's not even at his peak right now. So how strong would he be at his peak?

The Third Raikage was born late, so he didn't witness the peak of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju. Similarly, he died relatively early and didn't see Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha at their prime.

Therefore, he didn't know how strong the power of someone who could suppress the entire ninja world truly was. In his understanding, the strongest beings were the tailed beasts, and since he himself could fight the Eight-Tails to a standstill, he figured even the strongest Nine-Tails couldn't be that much stronger. So, his knowledge of the Fourth Shinobi World War and the powerful figures afterward was only based on hearsay, which he felt was somewhat exaggerated. The reborn individuals, on the other hand, were different; they had experienced these battles firsthand and directly confronted them. Therefore, they knew just how strong these people were.

Chapter Seventeen Threat

But things are different now. With Obito Uchiha around,

Although Obito can't use his full power right now, his unpredictable space-time ninjutsu is something even the Five Kage would be helpless against in the future world. He manipulated them so much that they even thought he was Madara Uchiha.

Similarly, even the Third Raikage was helpless; the most terrifying thing is the one that stops there! For a moment, Obito truly intimidated the Third Raikage. Seeing this, Obito continued:

"Naruto has given the ninja world a chance to be reborn with his own life, and you want to destroy that chance for your own selfish reasons. Even if you defeat the other ninja villages and unify the ninja world, so what? In the end, you'll just become nourishment for the God Tree!"

If the ninjas want to save themselves, this Fourth Shinobi World War must not continue. If it continues, the ninjas' hatred will only accumulate, and all the sacrifices and efforts of the Fourth Shinobi World War will be in vain!

Obito paused for a moment and then continued:

"Therefore, I must stop you. I will not let Naruto's sacrifice be in vain. If you insist on starting a war, then don't blame me for being impolite."

I already bear the blame for the Fourth Shinobi World War, so what's one more charge: killing the Third Raikage?

"

As he spoke, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes, and they gradually transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan. The Third Raikage felt the space around his head becoming abnormal; the space began to twist and warp, and as the space distorted, the oppressive feeling grew stronger, to the point that he could hardly breathe!

The pain above his neck was intensifying, as if he were about to be crushed. The Third Raikage wanted to escape, but his body remained immobile, and his expression changed drastically.

Seeing this, the Fourth Raikage immediately wanted to go and help his father. However, Kakashi stopped him, and out of trust in his comrade-in-arms over the years, the Fourth Raikage ultimately did not move.

Obito had already played the bad cop so well, and Minato knew it was now his turn to play the good cop.

Minato walked over and gently patted Obito, saying, "Stop, Obito. We didn't come here to fight." Obito understood and stopped his Kamui attack, closed his Sharingan, and stopped talking.

The Third Raikage breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the space had returned to normal. Then he was filled with rage and was about to attack, but considering Obito's strange spatial abilities, he held back in the end!

Seeing this, Minato continued:

"We are here in the hope of ending the Third Shinobi World War and achieving peace together to change the fate of the shinobi world."

Just as Obito said, we will face many powerful enemies next, and those powerful enemies whose strength makes the ninja world despair will appear one after another.

They want us to obediently become their nourishment. You, the Third Raikage, are content with that, but I am not. That's why I must rebel. Like you, I only learned about the future from my son. I've never directly experienced the power of those strongmen who can kill an entire ninja village, or even a nation, with a single blow. But I have always believed in my son, and I believe in his willingness to sacrifice for everyone!

Later, I gradually learned more from other reborn individuals, including your son. The more I listened, the more confused I became. Are they really that powerful? If so, how can we defeat them?

I was confused! But I didn't feel the same confusion from the reborn individuals! Later I learned that they had used up all their confusion during the Fourth Shinobi World War! That's why they could firmly believe that they and their comrades could defeat powerful enemies.

As parents, elders, and guardians of the village, we should have faith in our children, our village, and our comrades, and stand with them in this fight. We shouldn't stand against them, forcing them to go against their beliefs and putting them in a difficult position.

Minato said!

The Third Raikage, instead of replying to Minato, looked at his son and saw the worried look on his face. A hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes. However, his tone remained firm as he said:

"Tell me the truth, is everything they're saying true?"

The Fourth Raikage hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded heavily.

He knew his father was arrogant, and suddenly realizing that so many people could easily kill him would severely damage his father's confidence.

But now he understood even more clearly that only the truth could change his father's mind. The enemy's strength was indeed unimaginably powerful.

At this point, if the ninjas want to survive, they must work together. And to work together, they must end this pointless war as soon as possible.

The Fourth Raikage's answer made the Third Raikage's expression grow even more somber.

"Has the situation gotten this serious?"

The third generation muttered to himself. No one answered him.

The room suddenly fell silent for about 20 minutes. Then the Fourth Raikage finally spoke again. He looked at the Fourth Raikage and said:

“I will withdraw my troops, I will explain to the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, and then resign to take responsibility. I will recommend you to replace me.”

The Third Raikage thought for a moment and continued, "Afterwards, I will go to Cloud Thunder Gorge to train, hoping that I can be of help when enemies come in the future."

"Father, you really don't need to," the Fourth Raikage said anxiously, "Actually, we can..."

The Third Raikage waved his hand, stopping the Fourth Raikage from continuing.

"This is the best method right now. If I were the Raikage, the Sand Country wouldn't agree. Someone has to be held responsible for this war, and as the instigator, I should bear that responsibility."

The Fourth Raikage opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he didn't speak, only sighing.

He knew his father's approach was the best; now it was time to prioritize the bigger picture and not let emotions cloud his judgment.

Minato glanced at Kakashi, who understood and stepped forward, saying:

"There's one more thing I'd like to ask the Raikage for help with."

The Third Raikage nodded, signaling Kakashi to continue. Kakashi then spoke:

"I'd like to stay in Kumogakure for the time being. I'd like to exchange some training tips with the Third and Fourth Raikage, is that alright?"

The Third and Fourth Raikage exchanged a glance and nodded slightly. The Fourth Raikage then stepped forward and said:

"That's no problem. I also have many questions about ninjutsu that I'd like to ask you for leave."

The Fourth Raikage was well aware of Kakashi's intentions, but because of the good relationship between Konoha and Kumogakure in the future, and because all nations in the ninja world needed to prepare for the future—working in isolation was definitely not an option—he knew that such situations would become more frequent. He could allow people from other ninja villages to come in, and his own people could learn from other villages. Such exchanges would benefit the strengthening of all nations.

"Then we'll take our leave now. We'll leave Kakashi in your care. We'll contact you again if anything comes up!" Having settled things with Kakashi and the Raikage, Minato and the others also took their leave.

"Okay! By the way, what are your plans regarding the Hidden Sand Village and the Hidden Mist Village?" the Fourth Raikage asked.

"Regarding this, I've already had the Third Hokage, in the name of the Alliance, lure the Fourth Kazekage and some high-ranking Kazekage out of the Land of Wind. I'd like to meet with a few of them first to see what their thoughts are. As for Kirigakure..."

"Leave Kirigakure to me," Obito, who had been sitting in his seat, finally spoke. He interrupted Minato and continued...

"I want to go and meet with Madara Uchiha; there are some things I'd like to discuss with him."

Upon hearing this, a hint of solemnity flashed across the faces of the others. Everyone present knew that the actual person in charge of the Mist Village was Uchiha Madara. Any peace talks would inevitably involve him. However, very few of the current and future Kage dared to meet with Uchiha Madara alone.

Even if current intelligence says that Madara Uchiha is now in his old age and can no longer exert his strength, it's still the same!

Human life is like the shadow of a tree; everyone present had either seen or heard the legend of Madara Uchiha's future rampage. Frankly, if Kaguya Otsutsuki and Madara Uchiha were to fight at their peak, many would believe Madara would win. His battle awareness was far superior to Kaguya Otsutsuki's.

To meet such a person alone requires immense courage and considerable strength!

Even Minato Namikaze believed that his current strength made it too risky for him to meet Madara Uchiha.

"No, I don't agree to you going."

At this moment, Lian Lin, who had remained silent since arriving at Kumogakure, finally spoke:

"It's too dangerous. That Uchiha Madara is a madman. You could be in mortal danger if you're not careful."

Obito smiled slightly and said, "Are you worried about me, Rin?"
