Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

Various versions of the story circulate vividly.

The Hokage Rock, in the image of Minato Namikaze, shows Mirai Namikaze standing atop Minato's head, her azure eyes looking down at the village below.

From this vantage point, the entire village can be seen in its entirety.

He was the one who instigated those rumors.

To be precise, it was he who asked Uchiha Setsuna to push it.

After capturing those villagers planted by Root last time, the Uchiha Guard interrogated them overnight to uncover their methods and strategies.

Almost exactly the same method was used, causing a media storm in Konoha as well.

Thanks to Mirai Namikaze's storytelling ability and the villagers' hatred for the killer of the Nine-Tailed Night, the story spread quite smoothly.

The results were even better than expected.

However, the current Namikaze Mirai has no interest in reaping the rewards.

He stood on the rock image of the Water Gate, using the elevation of the terrain to maximize the diffusion of his biomagnetic field perception.

Enveloped the entire Leaf Village!

On an inconspicuous tree on the edge of the village, a scarlet eye is watching the village outside through a mask.

"It has been confirmed that your identity has not been exposed. These rumors were probably just a fluke."

White Zetsu emerged from the tree trunk beside him, revealing its white upper body.

To be honest, even he was startled when these rumors first surfaced.

Aside from being unrelated to Danzo's experimental subjects, possessing both Wood Release and Sharingan, and wearing a mask, it all basically matches up.

Upon learning this news, Obito could no longer care about monitoring Nagato within Akatsuki; he had to find out how much of his identity had been exposed!

The only person who should see himself wearing a mask should be Minato, but he is already dead.

He died in the turmoil of the conspiracy he himself started!

Fortunately, it now appears to be the result of a villager's wild imagination.

His identity was not exposed.

My anxiety gradually subsided.

Obito prepared to leave.

Almost at the same time! Minato's Hokage statue, Namikaze Mirai, suddenly opened her eyes!

His deep blue eyes were now filled with hideous, scarlet blood vessels!

"I've found you!"

Chapter 44 A Mighty Man Descends from the Sky! Obito, you must be sweating buckets, right?

The reason for guiding public opinion in the village and releasing information about the killer of the Nine-Tailed Night was to manipulate public opinion.

On the surface, it's about suppressing Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, Bofeng hopes that the public opinion will eventually bring out the real mastermind behind that night!

He and Minato communicated in the Nine-Tails' sealed space.

From the water gate, we learned the specific intelligence about the enemy that night!

This includes wearing a mask, possessing the Kaleidoscope of Space-Time and Wood Release techniques, and wielding chains as his weapon...

The rumors circulating in the village included many descriptions of the Water Gate!

Namikaze Mirai didn't believe that he would do nothing after learning that the rumors in the village pointed directly to his identity!

After all, apart from himself and the deceased Minato, no one should have seen what he looked like that night.

"Just as I suspected! My guess was right!"

Namikaze Mirai's eyes were filled with crimson blood vessels, and the corners of her mouth curled up in an almost uncontrollable, eerie arc.

Blue arcs of lightning pulsed around his body.

He stomped hard on the rock shadow beneath his feet, and his body leaped up like a cannonball, rushing towards the direction he sensed.

……

The woods at the edge of the leaf.

"White Zetsu, keep a close eye on Konoha during this time. Report any unusual situations to me immediately."

Obito issued the order indifferently.

Based on the results of the investigation, it appears that his true identity has not been exposed.

However, necessary precautions must be taken.

Moreover, he always felt that...

This rumor is rather strange.

It seems that some force is pulling the strings behind the scenes.

After finishing his explanation, Obito's scarlet eyes, visible through the hollow of his mask, gazed wistfully at the village across the way.

This decaying village is not worth saving.

Only in the world of illusion can everything be redeemed.

Both Minato and Rin will meet in another world.

He was preparing to leave.

The surrounding space has begun to distort.

Suddenly, as if noticing something, his eyes changed slightly, and he looked up into the air.

There, a blue object is rapidly approaching!

No, to be precise, it's falling!

Rapidly plummeting!

boom! ! !

A sudden tremor ran through the forest as the falling object crashed heavily into the trees opposite the land, turning a large swath of trees into dust.

Obito stared at the churning dust.

As the swirling dust gradually subsided.

A human-shaped silhouette emerged from the spot where the fall occurred.

Amidst the crackling of electricity, violently pulsating arcs of lightning swirled around him. His golden hair stood on end in the electric current, and his azure eyes were filled with ferocious bloodshot veins, his gaze as furious as that of a demon from hell.

"I've finally caught you!!"

Obito's eyelid twitched!

This guy!!!

Did he jump straight down from the sky?

There were no high grounds around this forest, and if the distance wasn't far enough, he could instantly detect the sound of someone jumping.

This means that the man in front of us jumped here from a very far distance!

"Looks like we're in trouble!"

White Zetsu, who had just emerged from the tree trunk with his upper body exposed, sensed something was wrong.

Namikaze is coming in with great force, and with this unique way of making his entrance, he is clearly not someone to be trifled with!

He began to sneak into the tree trunk.

They wanted to sneak away before the battle broke out.

Obito, the enemy is now in your hands.

With your abilities, there shouldn't be any problem, right?

Just as he was about to slip away, Obito, staring at those familiar golden hairs, suddenly sneered from beneath his mask.

"You must be Minato's younger brother, right? What, you want to take his place..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

With a loud bang, the ground beneath Mirai Namikaze's feet suddenly cracked open. Almost instantly, Mirai Namikaze arrived beside Obito and unleashed a punch!

Obito, protected by his Hollowfication ability, was fearless, but the White Zetsu beside him, who was about to escape and had already disappeared into most of the tree trunk, instantly became furious!

Obito, you bastard, you tricked me!!!

boom! ! !

The tree was blasted to pieces, and the surging force of the punches carved a path through the forest!

White Zetsu's body was blasted to pieces, and countless tiny white spores scattered in all directions along with the wood chips.

Despite taking the hit head-on, Obito remained unchanged, having dodged the attack using Hollowfication.
