Naruto: Starting with the Celebrity of Japan

Everything at Kannabi Bridge is over.

Staying in the Land of Earth is not a wise choice.

So, under Minato's arrangement, the group immediately prepared to return to Konoha.

Since Kakashi had already received some basic treatment from Ranshu, he no longer had much trouble moving around.

But the remaining Rin and Obito had to be carried away by Minato and Ranshu respectively.

"Ranshu, Obito is yours now."

As he spoke, Minato prepared to pick up Rin.

"Uh, Lord Minato, I'll take responsibility for bringing Rin back..."

Ranshu was somewhat resistant to Obito.

"Oh, indeed. You're carrying Lin, who's a bit lighter, and I'll carry Dai Tu. I'm sorry, I didn't think that through."

Minato didn't think much of it, but immediately realized that Ranshu's arrangement was the most correct.

He glanced at Ranshu once more with appreciation, then hoisted Obito onto his back.

Luanxiu gently picked up Lin.

Perhaps sensing a sense of security, Lin, nestled in his arms, wrapped her arms around Luanxiu's neck.

And so, the group quickly left this place of trouble.

On the way, Ranshu also explained to Minato the whole story of his mission to leave the Land of Water.

Minato finally agreed to help Ranshu explain the matter to his superiors.

With this, the Battle of Kannabi Bridge came to an end.

……

After Ranshu and the others completely left the Kannabi Bridge area of ​​the Land of Earth.

A human, entirely white with organs only on half of his body, emerged from the mound where Obito and Kakashi had been.

White Zetsu is a special creature with plant-like characteristics.

It was created by Madara Uchiha using the chakra of the Gedo Mazo and Hashirama's cells, and served as the tool for Madara Uchiha's eyeliner.

Its unique Wood Release: Dan Gen Hidden Technique allows it to move at high speeds underground.

Using this ability, it has been silently observing everything that happens here ever since Obito and Kakashi started chasing the Firelight Boulder.

"Well... that guy didn't die..."

White Zetsu looked around at the corpses of Iwagakure ninja scattered on the ground and muttered to himself.

In the original work, Obito Uchiha, who was half-dead from being smashed, was rescued by Madara Uchiha, who was secretly observing him.

Later, Madara tricked Obito into becoming the executor of the Eye of the Moon Project.

The reason Madara chose Obito as his successor...

Mainly because Obito is easy to fool—

Well, mainly because Obito also had the Sharingan, which made it easier for him to control the nine tailed beasts.

However, in this incident, Obito was not rescued by Madara, but was instead carried away by Minato.

but……

Obito wasn't the only one to demonstrate the power of the Sharingan in this incident!

"Ha, both targets we were monitoring aren't here! What a disappointment!"

Bai Jue made a sarcastic remark.

It then burrowed back into the soil and swam towards a tunnel deep underground.

At the end of the tunnel, an elderly man with white hair sat there.

Behind him were white tubes used to deliver nutrients to the Outer Path Golem.

He looked extremely weak; if it weren't for the Gedo Mazo's chakra keeping him alive, he would have died long ago underground.

Madara Uchiha, a close friend and nemesis of Hashirama, the First Hokage.

They share the same hobby as Ran Xiu—

He once bit off a piece of flesh from Hashirama's body...

The mastermind behind Obito's descent into darkness, but now the protagonist of this plan has gone missing...

"That's how it is. The boy with the Sharingan defeated the Iwagakure ninja, and then Minato Namikaze appeared, and they all retreated safely."

White Zetsu reported the main situation of the Kannabi Bridge to Madara.

"Is that so...? There are two... suitable Uchiha juniors?"

Ban murmured.

According to White Zetsu's intelligence, two Uchiha with Sharingan appeared in this battle.

One of them was incredibly strong, and he defeated a large number of Iwagakure ninjas with his two-tomoe Sharingan and strange escaping techniques.

Another person possessed astonishing talent; in a fit of rage, he suddenly awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan!

"They're all very promising talents...it's just a pity...cough cough!"

Banbian coughed weakly as he spoke.

Currently, Ban's body is becoming increasingly weak, and his lifespan is nearing its end.

Therefore, he must quickly select a suitable successor to carry on his will.

This time, in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, we encountered two very good candidates.

However, he has no chance to contact the two of them for the time being.

"So what do we do now?"

White Zetsu asked Madara about his future plans.

After a moment's hesitation, Ban said decisively:

"endure!"

"What's the most important thing for achieving the Eye of the Moon Project? Patience! I've waited so long, just a little longer. Go and make contact with the two of them, and ideally, bring them both to see me."

"I'm sure I can convince them!"

"Be patient! Be patient..."

Perhaps exhausted, Ban fell into a deep sleep as he spoke.

……

Ranshu returned to Konoha Village with Minato the next morning.

After reporting the situation to the Third Generation, Minato left the village again to carry out his mission.

Ranshu accepted the questioning from the Anbu, but since Tsunade had vouched for Ranshu's participation in the mission and Minato had given his explanation beforehand, the Anbu did not make things difficult for him.

Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi are still on a mission and have not returned.

The village sent Luanxiu home temporarily.

Rin Nohara, Kakashi, and Obito all sustained injuries of varying degrees, so they were all admitted to Konoha's hospital to recuperate.

At Konoha Hospital, Ranshu visited the three of them separately.

Kakashi's injuries were more severe, requiring him to be hospitalized for a period of time.

Obito, on the other hand, only suffered minor injuries and was discharged from the hospital quickly.

It is said that when Obito first woke up, he almost caused a scene at the hospital, demanding to see Rin.

However, because Lin suffered severe psychological trauma, the hospital did not allow him to meet with her.

"I always feel that Obito is a little different now."

Kakashi, with his left arm in a cast, spoke to Ranshu.

Kakashi's attitude towards Ranshu is completely different now than it was at the beginning; he hasn't forgotten the proper politeness and respect.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Ranshu was somewhat surprised when Kakashi told him that Obito had changed.

"He doesn't talk much these days, and he seems a bit gloomy, like he has a lot on his mind."

Kakashi continued.

Ranshu naturally didn't understand what Obito was thinking when he awakened the Sharingan. When he heard that Obito had something on his mind, he didn't know what new changes the altered plot had caused in Obito.

"Has it grown a brain?"

Luanxiu made wild guesses in his mind.

To be honest, the Battle of Kannabi Bridge has affected the fate of many people.

For example, Kakashi in front of us, who could have obtained a Sharingan, not only did not obtain one, but he also did not.

It also became one of the hardest hit in this battle.

His performance was not only inferior to Ran Shu's, but also inferior to Obito's.

Moreover, everyone else has Sharingan, but Kakashi doesn't.

How do I get this? I can't exactly ask my family to buy one for me, can I?

Oh, sorry, I forgot, Kakashi doesn't have any family either...

Ranshu could clearly sense that Kakashi was developing a sense of inferiority.

"Perhaps the title of 'Copy Ninja Kakashi' will never be used again."

Ranshu sighed and left Konoha Hospital.
