Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

Namikaze Mirai's azure eyes flickered slightly.

Space-time pupil technique?

Just as described in the Watergate incident.

The masked man in front of us is indeed the murderer who killed Minato and Kushina!

The only difference is that the mask has been changed from the tiger-striped mask depicted by Minato to an orange-red swirling mask.

"Blue Flash? You're stronger than I expected."

Through the hole on the left side of the mask, the scarlet three-tomoe stare scrutinized Namikaze Mirai with a hint of surprise.

This unique way of making his entrance, as well as the power of that attack, raised his opinion of Namikaze Mirai by more than one level.

only……

"it's useless."

As if mocking Namikaze Mirai's incompetence, a slight smile curled at the corner of his mouth beneath the mask.

"You won't have any chance under my eyes."

……

at the same time.

Inside the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was still overwhelmed with problems in the village.

This sudden rumor was like a heavy punch that caught him completely off guard.

If the rumors aren't stopped soon, who knows what might happen?

"That bastard Danzo! He caused all this trouble and now I have to clean up his mess!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was indignant.

If Danzo hadn't actually been defiled, how could such baseless rumors have spread throughout the village in such a short time?

Once this matter is over, we must completely shut down the research at the root.

If we let him continue, who knows how much trouble he'll cause himself.

Just as he was getting angry, a member of the secret service suddenly appeared with a whoosh.

"Lord Hokage, a violent tremor has suddenly been heard from the southeast of the village. It appears that ninjas are engaged in battle there!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression froze!

Southeast of the village?

Isn't that area all forest?

How could the shockwaves from a ninja battle reach this place?

Who is he? !

"Immediately gather a group of secret agents and come with me to investigate."

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave the order in a deep voice.

We can't worry about the rumors circulating in the village now; we must find out the identities of both sides in the fight.

the other side.

Uchiha clan.

Fugaku, who was talking to Itachi, suddenly looked up and gazed toward the distant forest.

"Father? What's wrong?"

Itachi asked, puzzled.

"There seems to be something vibrating over there..."

Fugaku looked thoughtful.

Are people at war?

But the distance is too far. If it really is the sound of a battle, then the opponent's strength is far too terrifying.

"shock?"

The weasel's eyes flickered slightly.

Taking a breath, Fugaku Uchiha looked at his eldest son: "Itachi, we'll talk about Namikaze becoming your teacher later. Go and gather the clan members who have awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, and come with me to investigate the source of the tremor."

Itachi noticed the seriousness in his father's expression.

He nodded solemnly.

"Understood, Father."

Chapter 45: A Lightning Cage Lasting Minutes! In the Thunder

Chapter 45: A 30-minute-long lightning cage! Repent in the thunder!!! (Please continue reading!)

One powerful punch after another was unleashed, and the resulting storm swept through the forest, blasting trees into dust and tearing up the ground, leaving behind ravines!

This once lush forest has been devastated in a short period of time!

Obito's expression was quite calm.

Although Namikaze Mirai's attacks were powerful, they had little effect on him.

Having the ability to make his physical body ethereal, he fears nothing more than this kind of powerful attack.

As long as you can't hit his main body, all attacks will be ineffective against him!

Dodging the attack from Namikaze Mirai, I calmly created some distance and leaped onto a relatively intact large tree nearby.

Her scarlet eyes stared at him with a cold smile.

“I’ve already said it, your attacks are completely ineffective against this eye of mine.”

A vortex-like distortion of space appeared around his single eye.

"I'll let you off this time! You won't be so lucky next time."

Obito prepared to leave.

This place is too close to Konoha Village.

This brief exchange has already caused quite a stir.

Perhaps Konoha ninjas are already on their way here.

His appearance is not suitable for being exposed to the eyes of Konoha ninjas.

The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for him.

Suddenly, a flash of blue light appeared.

A bead of cold sweat slid down Obito's forehead.

fast!

So fast!

What was that just now?!

If he hadn't been paying close attention to Namikaze Mirai's movements and using spatial teleportation to stop in the shortest possible time, he probably would have been hit by the attack just now.

Did I give you permission to leave?

Namikaze Mirai stared at him coldly.

"When you perform spacetime travel, you need to switch to a physical form, right? In other words, unless I agree, you can't use spacetime travel to leave here."

Obito's heart skipped a beat.

Damn it! How could Mirai Namikaze have found out?!

His previous pretentious demeanor was meant to stun Namikaze Mirai and prevent her from discovering the secret.

Unexpectedly.

We've been exposed!

However, what Namikaze Mirai said next made his hair stand on end, as if he had fallen into an extremely cold ice cave!

"Your blurring time also has a limit, right?"

A slight smile played on Miku's lips as she scrutinized him with a cold, mocking gaze.

"Let me guess, what's the limit? 5 minutes? 10 minutes? Or 15 minutes?"

Obito felt increasingly uneasy as he listened.

Unbeknownst to him, Mirai Namikaze learned of his abilities from the water gate within the sealed space.

If he knew, he would probably leave the moment the storm arrives, and would not linger at all!

"Did you really think I was just attacking randomly just now?"
