Chapter 165 Minato's Self-Reproach

[Getting back to the main point, why did Obito go to such lengths to eliminate Suigetsu? And even if Suigetsu wasn't a rogue ninja, how could he be considered a loyal retainer of Kirigakure?]

[This is not mere fiction; the official guidebook's assessment speaks for itself.]

On the screen, the evaluation book of Suigetsu Hozuki was once again displayed before everyone's eyes.

[Obito wanted to wreak havoc in Kirigakure, so killing someone as cunning and devoted to the village as Obito was essential.]

[As for Xiguashan's underground mission and his role in guarding the Blood Mist Village, that's easy to understand.]

[Because the bloody mist during the Third Mizukage's era wasn't as terrible as it was after Obito arrived.]

This can be proven in the comics.

[Rin had just been pierced by Kakashi when Obito arrived and witnessed it. A bewildered Obito immediately went berserk.]

At this time, the Hidden Mist ninjas already called themselves the Village of the Blood Mist, and the ninjas had a strong sense of honor and were very proud to be part of the Blood Mist.

Therefore, it's correct that in the official guidebook, Suigetsu Mountain is the best guardian of Blood Mist.

On the screen, a berserk Obito is slaughtering the Hidden Mist ninjas around him.

One of the Hidden Mist ninjas, seeing this, shouted, "Don't underestimate us, the Village of the Blood Mist!"

After saying that, he rushed forward and was promptly killed by Obito.

"If I hadn't fallen into a coma back then, I might have been able to persuade Obito to come back."

Watching Obito wreaking havoc on the screen, Kakashi was consumed by deep self-reproach.

No matter how you look at it, Lin was indeed killed by him using the Raikiri.

Unfortunately, Obito witnessed it, which prompted him to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, foreshadowing the deaths of the Fourth Hokage and his wife later on.

"Kakashi, don't think too much about it. I was the one who asked you to attack me. Even if you hadn't attacked me, I would have committed suicide."

After comforting Kakashi, Rin Nohara turned her gaze back to the light screen.

She knew that Obito liked her, but she didn't expect that the extent of Obito's affection for her would exceed her imagination.

On the screen, Obito, who had gone berserk, truly shocked her.

While she was secretly pleased that Obito cared about her so much, she also felt sorry for him.

Beside him, Sakumo Hatake's expression changed once again.

He was also stunned by Obito's actions.

It's not about how strong Obito was, but about his feelings for Rin.

Just how much pain and despair must he have felt to advance from a two-tomoe Sharingan to a Mangekyou Sharingan?

Originally, he wanted to matchmake his silly son with Nohara Rin.

In his view, the two already had feelings for each other, and apart from the slight age mismatch, everything was just a natural progression.

But for now, he has decided not to interfere in the relationships of young people.

It's best to leave the matter between the three of them to resolve themselves.

"Kakashi, you must handle the emotional issues between the three of you."

"Don't worry, Dad, I understand."

No, you don't understand.

Sakumo Hatake looked at Kakashi very seriously and continued, "Think about it, if you don't handle this well, Obito could use his Mangekyou Sharingan to sneak into Konoha and wake you up every night to pee. How terrifying would that be?"

Kakashi, exasperated, replied, "Well... Obito wouldn't be that bored, would he?"

"Listen to me, your old man here has been through this."

"Huh? You've even done things like waking people up in the middle of the night to pee?"

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

"So what you just said was nonsense?"

"Very good, Kakashi. I can't wait to test your strength."

Kakashi: ? ? ?

As Sakumo Hatake made up his mind to thoroughly examine his son's strength, the Fourth Hokage family, to their right, watched Obito on the screen with awe.

"I think at that time, Obito really wanted me to appear. After all, my Flying Thunder God Technique is a space-time ninjutsu. Theoretically, I can instantly reach the place marked by my Flying Thunder God Mark. I didn't get there in time to stop Rin's death. He must have hated me at that time."

Minato Namikaze sighed and continued, "It's funny, I have the Flying Thunder God Technique, but when Obito, Kakashi, and Rin encountered the enemy, I didn't appear, which led to Obito being trapped under the rocks, making us all think he was dead."

Later, I failed to prevent Rin Nohara from being captured, making her an unstable Three-Tails Jinchuriki, and I also failed to stop Kakashi from killing Rin, causing Obito pain and despair. I really am a terrible teacher.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Minato was very sad, but wasn't Kushina just as heartbroken?

She also remembers that Obito was very cheerful and kind when he was a child.

It's really ironic how things have turned out this way.

"By the way, wasn't it said that Obito would go to chat with Rin from time to time? We've been resurrected for so many days now, how come we haven't seen him even once?"

"I might know that."

Minato Namikaze chuckled awkwardly and said, "Rin told me that the last time Obito saw her was on the day we were resurrected. And the time Obito left Konoha was around the same time you were beating up Kakashi and Jiraiya. I was wondering if Obito saw that scene and was afraid of being beaten by you, which is why he didn't come to see Rin for over twenty days."

"So it's my fault after all?"

Kushina rolled her eyes.

As for what happened with Obito, she sympathized with him, but she still had to beat him up.

Even Kakashi couldn't escape her beatings, so how could Obito, the guy who killed him and his wife and many Konoha ninjas, not get beaten up?

It seems impossible to even think about it.

"If you see Obito in the village, remember to let me know!"

".clear!"

[At this point in the manga and official guidebook, all the plot points match up perfectly.]

Let's review all of the above again.

The blood mist during the Third Mizukage's time was relatively normal, until Obito used genjutsu to manipulate the Fourth Mizukage and persecute Kirigakure.

Seeing the turmoil in Kirigakure, Suigetsu didn't shamefully defect like Raiga, nor did he attempt to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage like Zabuza.

Instead, he sought to climb the ranks and learned that the Mizukage needed a group of clerical staff from the Cipher Department to carry out a mission without bodyguards.

The shrewd and calculating Suigetsu, fearing a leak of village intelligence, assigned his trusted subordinate Kisame to guard him, implying that he should eliminate his teammates as a last resort.

As expected, the Konoha torture master did indeed appear, and he came prepared.

[Who would believe that Obito didn't tip off Konoha?]

Thank you to [159yzk] for the 100 book coins!
