Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World.

Konoha Training Ground No. 3

This was a clearing in the woods, with three wooden stakes standing in it. The moment Minato Namikaze disappeared from the cave, he appeared in this clearing.

The very next second that Minato appeared, a complex curse mark appeared on the open ground, and the next moment, Obito Uchiha, wearing a mask and a black robe, was teleported there.

As Minato Namikaze and Obito Uchiha's gazes met, they both fell silent.

By this point, Obito Uchiha finally understood that he had fallen into a trap set by his opponent. Moreover... the fact that Minato Namikaze would set a trap in such a place meant that his presence had already been exposed.

Perhaps... even his own identity has already been guessed by the man before him...

Looking at his handsome and powerful teacher in front of him, Obito Uchiha fell silent for a moment.

His scarlet eyes first flashed with astonishment, then solemnity, then relief, and finally... he became somewhat hysterical, somewhat insane.

"As expected of... the Fourth Hokage!"

"When did you become aware of my presence?"

Communication between intelligent people is always so simple. After years of growth and behind-the-scenes experience, Obito Uchiha's mind is no longer comparable to that of the naive loser he once was.

At this moment, he was fully aware of the situation he was facing. Rather than slinking away and deceiving himself into thinking that his existence had not been detected, he might as well extract more information from Minato Namikaze.

He believed he had hidden himself very well, and with the presence of White Zetsu and Kamui, he could come and go freely in Konoha without anyone noticing.

But how did Minato Namikaze discover his own existence, and even vaguely guess his identity, to set up such a trap in front of Rin's tombstone?

In this contest, Obito Uchiha was utterly defeated.

However, Obito didn't know why he lost, and he wanted to figure out why he lost!

Even someone like Obito, no matter how hard he racked his brains, would never have imagined that there was a "Heavenly Eye" in Konoha.

However, Minato Namikaze remained calm in the face of Obito's question. He glanced around at the surrounding scenery but did not directly answer Obito's question.

"This is Konoha's Training Ground Number Three."

"Every time I come back here, I think of the days I spent learning and training with those members of the Water Gate team."

"I've chosen this place as our meeting location. Do you like it?"

"Obito..."

Minato Namikaze spoke, directly revealing Obito Uchiha's identity.

In fact, from the moment Obito fell into the trap and appeared here, Minato could already confirm his identity. After all, Shinichi Hyuga had revealed so much information about Obito Uchiha, which had already planted a concrete imprint in the minds of Minato and Kushina.

Moreover... the person in front of him had fallen into a trap in front of Rin's tombstone. Minato Namikaze couldn't imagine anyone else in the world appearing in front of Rin's tombstone.

Besides Kakashi, and besides him and his wife, who else could it be!?

"really...."

Upon hearing Minato Namikaze call his name, Obito Uchiha suddenly lowered his head, chuckled softly, and muttered to himself. Then, Obito silently removed his mask, revealing his current face to Minato Namikaze.

As a child, Obito inherited the excellent genes of the Uchiha clan, and had a handsome appearance. Even now, although half of his face was restored by White Zetsu, he can still be described as handsome.

Looking at Obito's familiar face, Minato Namikaze revealed a gentle smile:

"It really is you... Obito."

"Thank goodness, you're not dead!"

The emotions that Minato displayed at this moment greatly exceeded Obito's expectations. He could sense that Minato was genuinely happy.

Suppressing his inner turmoil, Obito clutched his heart with one hand and glared coldly at Minato Namikaze:

"No, you're wrong!"

"Obito Uchiha is dead!"

"Those still alive are the Avengers of the Uchiha clan!"

As Obito spoke, he put his mask back on, and the three-tomoe Sharingan flickered in his eyes.

"The astute Fourth Hokage..."

"Why weren't you this perceptive back then?!"

"Why is it that someone as strong and perceptive as you still couldn't protect Lin?!"

Obito Uchiha actually harbored hatred towards Minato Namikaze. Although it was Kakashi who personally killed Rin with Chidori, Obito hated the powerful Minato Namikaze even more than the "weak" Kakashi.

The guy known as the Yellow Flash in the ninja world, the guy who could become Hokage, couldn't even protect a young girl.

At that moment, Obito was disappointed in Minato, and also disappointed in the "Hokage" he admired.

So... the Hokage he admired was nothing special after all!

"Obito..."

Obito's regrets were no less than Minato's regrets, but what Minato had experienced was beyond Obito's comprehension.

Obito's only concerns were Kakashi and Rin, but Minato Namikaze, as one of Konoha's strongest fighters at the time, carried the weight of the entire war's victory and the lives of many Konoha ninjas.

Yes, if he had gone with her to the Mist Ninja battlefield, Rin wouldn't have been captured by the Mist Ninja. But if that had happened, would the other Konoha ninjas on the other battlefields have been able to win?!

Minato was never an arrogant person, but he was also very clear about how much impact his existence had on the war.

In this respect, Minato felt a deep sense of guilt for failing to protect Rin. At this moment, facing Obito's questioning, Minato did not want to refute it at all.

"Oh...."

"There's no point in saying all this now!"

"The Yondaime..."

"I will create a world with Lin!"

"I will personally reclaim everything I have lost!"

"No one, no matter who they are, can stop me!"

As he spoke, a spatial vortex appeared in Obito's Sharingan, rapidly sucking his body into the alternate dimension.

In just a few breaths, Obito Uchiha had disappeared from Minato Namikaze's sight.

Although the exchange was brief, Obito Uchiha knew that he had no chance of getting any information out of Minato Namikaze.

On the contrary, the longer you spend with a ninja like Minato, the more information about yourself might be exposed.

Although Minato Namikaze has already discovered his identity, it doesn't matter; this is just the beginning.

More importantly, Obito Uchiha believed that everything he had experienced was beyond Minato Namikaze's imagination, and that information about his Mangekyou Sharingan would never be leaked.

Every plan of his would proceed smoothly. Even Minato Namikaze was not capable of disrupting Madara Uchiha's long-planned Eye of the Moon plan!

Of course... before that, he will first prove that he is stronger than Minato Namikaze!
