Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World.

Obito Uchiha's figure slowly disappeared from Minato Namikaze's sight. Sensing the spatial fluctuations as Obito left, a solemn expression appeared in Minato's eyes.

"Space-time ninjutsu, huh..."

"Obito..."

Minato Namikaze, who had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, was exceptionally perceptive to space-time ninjutsu. Obito had only used Kamui once in front of Minato, yet he already understood the essence of the ninjutsu Obito used when he left.

Even... judging from Obito's composed demeanor when he left, his mastery of space-time ninjutsu was quite high. He could use that technique without needing to form hand seals, a level that was even higher than Obito's!

The Fourth Hokage didn't have a deep understanding of the Uchiha clan. On one hand, he himself was a commoner ninja, so his understanding of a large clan like the Uchiha was limited. On the other hand, very few ninjas in the Uchiha clan could awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

In recent years, there have been no Uchiha powerhouses who have used the Mangekyou Sharingan, which has prevented Minato from connecting the other party's ability with the direction of bloodline limit.

Even so, this brief meeting finally confirmed to Minato that Obito was still alive.

Moreover... from Obito's words, Minato could sense the anger and resentment hidden in his heart.

It's unclear how he will vent his anger and resentment.

"To create a world with Lin..."

"Is the target the Book of Seals?"

Incomplete or inaccurate information makes it impossible to draw accurate conclusions. Based solely on Obito's words before leaving, Minato naturally thought of the Book of Seals in Konoha that contained countless forbidden techniques.

The Book of Seals does contain some ninjutsu that can revive the dead, but the First Hokage stopped the development of that technique, making it an incomplete one.

However, the existence of that forbidden technique also made it possible for Obito's wish to be fulfilled.

It's no wonder that Minato would think in this direction.

After a moment's thought, Minato Namikaze used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave the training ground.

The matter concerning Obito must be taken seriously. If someone who has mastered space-time ninjutsu has set his sights on the Scroll of Seals, there is indeed a possibility that the scroll could be stolen.

If such inhumane forbidden techniques were to spread, they would likely bring endless calamities to the world.

When Minato Namikaze reappeared, he had already arrived in the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was sitting behind the desk handling official business for Minato, seemed to sense something. He looked up and saw Minato's solemn face, which made his heart tighten.

"Minato, why are you back?!"

"Could it be something to do with Kushina..."

Minato should have been by Kushina's side at this time, helping to strengthen the seal during her childbirth. His sudden appearance here gave the Third Hokage an ominous feeling and made him worry.

Because his wife, Biwako, was one of the medical ninjas who delivered Kushina's baby. If the Nine-Tails' seal malfunctions, wouldn't that mean his wife also...?

"It's not a problem with Kushina."

"Third Hokage, do you still remember my former disciple, Obito Uchiha?"

"He didn't die on the battlefield back then, but survived because of some reason."

"He has now mastered some advanced space-time ninjutsu and has appeared in Konoha."

Uchiha Obito...

Even after many years, Hiruzen Sarutobi was still very familiar with that name. It wasn't because Obito's talent had left a deep impression on Hiruzen, nor was it because of Obito's strength.

It was only because of Obito Uchiha's eyes that the Sharingan was passed down for the first time from the Uchiha clan.

Back then, he and the Fourth Hokage negotiated with the Uchiha clan for a long time to protect Kakashi's Sharingan. Otherwise, his Sharingan would have been taken back by the Uchiha long ago.

"Obito Uchiha?"

"He's still alive? You saw him? How is that possible?"

Even someone as knowledgeable as the Third Generation was momentarily stunned upon hearing this news, but quickly regained his composure.

He also recalled the information about Obito Uchiha's death back then. After all, Obito was the owner of the Sharingan. Before negotiating with the Uchiha, the Third Hokage had naturally done a thorough understanding of Obito's death.

Kakashi was able to keep that eye, which was also related to Obito Uchiha's dying words.

"Those injuries... how did he survive..."

"If you're still alive, why haven't you shown up for so many years?"

"Now that they've reappeared in Konoha, what could it be...?"

The Third Hokage also had many questions in his mind, but Minato's original intention was to discuss with the Third Hokage how to handle this matter. Therefore, he began to explain to the Third Hokage in detail how Shinichi noticed the other party's presence and how he set a trap to "catch" the other party in the act.

Listening to Minato's account, the experienced Hiruzen Sarutobi sensed a strong aura of conspiracy enveloping Konoha. After Minato finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

After a long pause, he asked somewhat uncertainly:

"Minato... do you think the Uchiha clan knew that Obito Uchiha was hiding in Konoha?"

The Third Hokage became suspicious of the Uchiha clan. He was a disciple of the Second Hokage, Tobirama. Although he didn't constantly proclaim "evil Uchiha" like Tobirama, the Third Hokage was somewhat wary of the Uchiha clan under his master's influence.

Minato was not an outsider, and he did not hide his wariness.

In the Third Hokage's eyes, this matter could be considered a big deal or a small deal. To put it mildly, it was nothing more than a "defection incident" involving a Chunin who had miraculously survived the battlefield and coveted the Book of Seals.

However, once it's linked to the Uchiha clan, the nature of the matter changes completely.

"The Uchiha clan..."

Even Minato, upon hearing this speculation, was unsure for a moment and couldn't directly deny the possibility.

"If that's really the case..."

Before the Third Hokage could finish speaking, Minato Namikaze suddenly broke into a hearty smile and interrupted:

"The Uchiha clan is part of the Konoha family and will not do anything detrimental to Konoha."

"Isn't it easy to verify whether the Uchiha clan knew about this?"

"I'll go see Chief Fugaku tonight!"

Minato handles things differently than the Third Hokage; he doesn't like to hide things and prefers to be straightforward.

With his strength and reputation as a foundation, he is confident that he can resolve the vast majority of issues through negotiation.

However, unlike Minato, who rose to the position of Hokage through strength and military achievements, the Third Hokage was appointed Hokage by the Second Hokage. At the time he took office, the village was in a precarious state, and the village could have been destroyed if he had not been careful.

Therefore, the three generations were accustomed to seeking "stability" and being cautious in handling matters.

"you..."

"this..."

Upon hearing that Minato intended to speak directly with Fugaku, even the Third Hokage was speechless for a moment, but soon shook his head and chuckled.

He sometimes really can't match the courage and drive of a young person.

"Is everything alright with Kushina?"

Compared to Obito Uchiha, who was just a "junior Chunin," Hiruzen was clearly more concerned about the situation of the Jinchuriki.

"Yes, the due date is next month."

"The fetus is in stable condition, so there's no need to worry for now."

"And I will go back immediately after I finish talking with Fugaku."

Minato was quite at ease about Kushina's situation. After all, there were so many Anbu guards, and a medical ninja of Biwako's caliber was also present. Even if Kushina went into premature labor, the Anbu would notify him immediately, and with his Flying Thunder God Technique, he could quickly return.

"Do you need me to come with you?"

Facing a powerful clan like the Uchiha, Hiruzen was on high alert.

Speaking of which... because the Uchiha clan has served as the Konoha police force for many years, their relationship with the ordinary people in the village has become increasingly tense.

The proud Uchiha clan is slowly being isolated by the villagers, which is not a good thing.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Minato did not refuse, and nodded with a smile.

Sometimes, his excessive humility made the Third Generation uneasy about handing over all power to Minato.
