Traveling through Naruto, I am Uchiha Obito?

"No matter what kind of evil it is... I will do it."

"No matter the cost..."

"I will definitely... save our world."

Chapter 95 Obito's Whereabouts

Chapter 95 Obito's Whereabouts

The morning sunlight streamed through the windows into the cozy dining room. The table was laden with a sumptuous breakfast prepared by Kushina, and the five of them sat together in a harmonious atmosphere.

The Rubik's Cube, seemingly slicing a fried egg casually, asked:

"Speaking of which, yesterday Menma and Satsuki mentioned parallel worlds... It seems like you're all familiar with this? Do you know a lot about it?"

Minato paused almost imperceptibly with the fork in his hand. He subconsciously turned his gaze to Menma across from him. Although it was only for a moment, the fleeting questioning look did not escape Rubik's Cube's focused observation.

'As expected... Menma is in control of this conversation.'

Menma was about to speak when Kushina readily took over the conversation, her tone tinged with pride:

"Because there's a very talented scientist in our village! He was the one who proposed the theory of parallel universes a few years ago!"

At the time, I thought it was all nonsense, thinking, "How could that be possible!" So this theory mainly circulated within our Jonin circle, and I didn't take it too seriously. But guess what? It's actually true!

She took a bite of bread and remarked with emotion.

"Jiraiya, that old white-haired guy, usually seems like he's a complete idiot, but he's actually quite capable when it counts!"

Minato looked awkwardly at his outspoken wife, then cautiously glanced at his son across from him, who was holding his forehead and had a look of "I knew this would happen," and felt a pang of sympathy.

'As expected of you, Kushina…'

The Rubik's Cube took in all these subtle reactions and quickly analyzed them in its mind:

'I see. Menma and Minato in this world clearly know more about the inside story. Menma is likely at the core of this so-called "plan," while Kushina... seems to be a "security personnel" kept in the dark.'

He remained expressionless and continued eating his breakfast.

'Although they don't seem to have any obvious hostility towards us, we must not let our guard down. We must find a way back as soon as possible... and that old bastard...'

Thinking of this, Rubik's Cube had a flash of inspiration!

'Wait... if he were in this world, where would he most likely go...?'

In the ensuing conversation, the Rubik's Cube did not delve further into the specific details regarding "Jiraiya" or the "parallel world theory," which secretly relieved Minato, but Menma frowned slightly as a result.

He keenly sensed that the man before him was not someone who could be easily fooled. The fact that he so easily let go of such a crucial clue only made him more vigilant.

The Rubik's Cube naturally guided the conversation, quickly transitioning to the Uchiha Obito family in this world.

Upon hearing Obito's name, Minato's face immediately lit up with a proud and warm smile:

"Obito... he was the student I was most proud of back then."

He was lost in reminiscence at that moment.

"Like me, he dreamed of becoming Hokage since he was a child. Later, after I got together with Kushina and had Menma, I gradually focused more on my family and entrusted this dream to my most trusted disciple."

Minato's tone carried a hint of emotion:

"But what I didn't expect was that my disciple made an even more resolute choice than I had back then. This former Uchiha genius, the rising star of the Konoha Guard, disregarded everyone's advice and resolutely gave up his promising position to become an ordinary teacher at the Ninja Academy in order to better accompany and nurture his children."

"Now, almost everyone has forgotten that he was once an elite Jonin of Konoha and a man who served as the deputy director of the Security Force."

Minato smiled, his tone devoid of regret, filled only with satisfaction and pride.

"As a teacher, I may have felt a little regretful when my student gave up his dream, but I am even more proud that he ultimately chose the life he truly wanted!"

When his beloved disciple was mentioned, Minato became incredibly talkative, recounting Obito's embarrassing childhood incidents, his bravery during missions, and the amusing stories he shared with Kakashi and Rin. Kushina listened with a beaming smile, her face cupped in her hands, as if she too had been transported back to her husband's vibrant youth.

While Mianma appeared to be listening attentively, most of his attention was actually focused on the Rubik's Cube opposite him, carefully observing every subtle change in his expression.

Naruto listened with great excitement, his eyes shining, and he would occasionally chime in to interact with Minato, creating a very lively atmosphere. Minato clearly also liked this cheerful "son from a parallel world" who seemed to be born with the ability to bring sunshine.

'If only Menma could be as cheerful as this child sometimes…'

Looking at his overly composed son across from him, Minato thought to himself, but when he thought of the heavy burden his son carried on his shoulders, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

'As his father, there's so little I can do for him now…'

He quickly calmed himself down and continued to recount the current situation of the other disciples.

"I've already covered Obito's situation. As for Kakashi..."

Minato smiled and shook his head.

"He used to be the Jonin instructor of Menma's Team 7. He's not one to sit still; he's always full of energy and vitality, and everyone likes him."

Upon hearing this, Mianma's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, and he silently lowered his head, avoiding his father's gaze.

"However, because Menma was transferred to the Detective Division, Class 7 was temporarily disbanded, and the members each went on to new paths."

Minato continued.

"That girl, Zuoyue, went back to inherit the family business and started from the bottom in the Konoha Police Force. Now she's a squad leader. She's a star figure in the police force now. She's beautiful, warm, and considerate. She's very popular in the village and could very well become the first female chief in the history of the Konoha Police Force!"

"Of course, she's also one of my top candidates for daughter-in-law."

Minato silently added in his mind.

"The other member is Sakura Haruno, the orphan of the Fourth Hokage, Haruno Chō.

Minato's tone carried a hint of admiration.

"Sakura herself may not be a combat-type genius. Of course, her talent is also outstanding, but there are just too many geniuses in this generation, and she is not particularly outstanding among them. However, she has extremely good analytical skills and a great sense of the big picture, and her command ability is very outstanding."

After Team 7 disbanded, she was immediately transferred to the Third Hokage's office to assist with administrative affairs.

"As for Kakashi..."

Minato couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"This restless guy was shouting 'Youth shouldn't be wasted' a while ago and dragged Might Guy, who was lazing around at home, out on a long-term mission. It's only been a little over a week since he left, and I don't know when he'll be back."

Rubik's Cube listened selectively, picking out the useful information, his face remaining largely expressionless. In contrast, Naruto's expression shifted like a palette of colors, his mouth agape, clearly shocked by this completely different story of "Team 7".

Finally, the topic came to the part of the Rubik's Cube that everyone was most interested in.

"As for the other member of my team... Nohara Rin."

Minato paused, the image of the girl who always had a gentle smile and silently accompanied Obito flashing through his mind, and the lonely expression hidden beneath her blessing smile at Obito and Chino's wedding. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He originally thought that Obito would eventually realize Rin's feelings and become a happy childhood sweetheart couple like himself and Kushina, but he never expected... Alas, it was just that their fate hadn't come yet.

Suppressing his complicated thoughts, Minato smiled and said:

"Rin is now the head of the medical department at Konoha Hospital, and she has grown into a very excellent and reliable ninja. Not long ago, she seemed to have taken on a disciple, a girl from the Senju clan, I think her name was... what was it again?"

"It's Senju Momonoki!"

Kushina answered first, her face showing excitement at discovering something interesting.

"I saw her when I visited Xiaolin at the hospital before! She's a very cute and pretty girl! Xiaofang was there too; he had a minor injury from training and Zhina took him to buy medicine. When he saw this little girl, his eyes practically popped out of his head, and he was drooling... Ah, sorry,"

She suddenly realized something and quickly waved her hand at the Rubik's Cube in the main world.

"I wasn't talking about you..."

"It's okay... I know."

Rubik's Cube responded somewhat awkwardly, but the name stirred up a storm in its heart.

'Momono... I wonder how she's been lately... It's been over a month since I left there, I wonder when I'll be able to go back...'

Menma carefully observed the Rubik's Cube's momentary lapse in concentration and subtle emotional fluctuations, and couldn't help but feel even more troubled.

Because his mother suddenly interrupted, it was impossible to determine the reason for his reaction.

"Sigh, Mom, you've really become a 'winner without lifting a finger,' you're just making things worse..."

Seemingly sensing the hint of helplessness and resentment emanating from her son, Kushina immediately reached out and ruffled Menma's hair, playfully wrestling with him.

"You brat! Were you talking badly about me behind my back? I could feel it!"

"No, not at all."

Menma tried to remain calm, dodging her mother's "attacks".

"You think too much."

"Yes, yes, I say it exists!"

Seeing this, Minato immediately joined the "battle" with a smile, trying to "save" his son, but ended up getting caught up in it with Kushina instead, and the restaurant was instantly filled with laughter.

Naruto looked on with envy at the family, who were laughing and playing around, their homely atmosphere filled with warmth and life. A complex expression appeared in his eyes as he silently ate his bread.

Rubik's Cube quietly turned his gaze to the window, his thoughts already wandering far away. He knew very well where that missing old bastard was most likely to be right now.

……

Konoha Hospital, a quiet consultation room.

A gentle woman in a white medical coat, with short, neat hair and purple marks on both cheeks, sat behind her desk. She looked at the unexpected visitor with a hint of surprise in her eyes, but mostly with a familiar, warm smile.

"What a rare guest!"

Nohara Rin smiled and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Why did you have time to come all the way to the hospital to see me today? Are you feeling unwell? Or... has Little Rubik's Cube gotten into trouble again?"

Standing in front of her was a tall, strong man with a complex and somewhat awkward expression.

He was none other than Uchiha Obito, a visitor from another world who used the Transformation Technique to perfectly disguise himself as "Uchiha Obito of this world".

"Lin..."

Chapter 96 Unexpected Visitor

"Obito?"

Rin's voice pulled Obito back from his chaotic thoughts.

"Did you and Rubik's Cube... have you had another fight?"

Lin looked at his "worried" expression and couldn't help but chuckle. It was as if she were seeing the boy from many years ago who would run to her to sulk whenever he couldn't stand Kakashi's annoyance.

"There's no such thing as a grudge that lasts overnight between a father and son. Little Rubik's Cube may be naughty, but he's a good kid. Talk to him nicely, and he'll understand."

Obito listened silently, neither admitting nor denying. In Rin's gentle gaze and familiar words, he seemed to be transported back to more than a decade ago, when he was still the carefree, innocent, and passionate Uchiha Obito who believed that as long as he worked hard, he could become Hokage.

He temporarily cast aside those heavy shackles and, following Lin's lead, chatted about interesting things from the past, about the children at the ninja academy, and even awkwardly imitated the tone of voice that he might have in this world.

Time slipped away quietly in relaxed conversation.

By noon, a faint blush appeared on Lin's face, and she softly invited:

"Um... Obito, how about... we grab some lunch together, since it's rare for us to do that? The new lunch at the hospital cafeteria is pretty good..."

Obito gazed at her for a long while, his eyes, once so familiar, now shimmering with expectation and a hint of shyness. Finally, he slowly shook his head, his voice slightly hoarse:

"No... I still have some things to take care of."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Lin's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by an understanding smile:

"That's true. Obito has a family now. Chino and Cube are still waiting for you, right? What a responsible and good father you are."

She smiled and encouraged them.

"Remember to make up with your son soon! As a father, handling conflicts with your son is a very important skill!"

Obito was stunned for a while before smiling helplessly, thanking Rin, then turning around and leaving without looking back.

'A family man...a good father...'

These words pierced his heart like needles, and he thought of Lin, whom he had just spoken to.

'In the end... are they just similar leaves?'
