At the side, Namikaze Minato heard Obito's words and immediately reacted.
A cloak of Nine-Tails chakra, similar to Naruto's earlier form, appeared around his body in an instant, entering the perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki mode.
Minato bent down, placed his hand on Naruto, and the golden chakra began to flow into Naruto's body.
Sakura, who was healing Naruto, revealed a look of joy. She could feel that as the Nine-Tails chakra was being injected, Naruto's vitality was gradually recovering. Very soon, his heart began to beat again, and his breathing also stabilized.
Sakura stopped manually administering CPR to Naruto and instead began to heal his external injuries. In a short time, Naruto's wounds had fully recovered. Although he was still unconscious, he was no longer in critical condition.
Sakura couldn't help but shed tears of emotion and bowed to Minato, "Thank you very much. If it weren't for you, Naruto would've died."
However, Minato simply smiled and said, "No need to thank me. He's my son. Of course I would save him. Are you the girl Naruto likes?"
Sakura's face instantly turned red, and she couldn't help but sneak a glance at Sasuke, who was standing with Karin.
It was only then that she realized she had actually kissed Naruto in front of Sasuke just now.
Although Sasuke had done similar things in front of her before.
Sakura awkwardly raised her hand and waved, "It's not like that."
From Sakura's gaze just now, Minato had already seen something. He instantly became dejected, 'So the girl who risked everything to save Naruto actually likes Uchiha Sasuke?'
'But Uchiha Sasuke clearly seems very close with that girl beside him who looks like she belongs to the Uzumaki clan.'
'This really is...'
Minato didn't even know what to say.
At this time, the Second Hokage Tobirama had already figured something out. He looked toward Naruto and said, "Minato, this is your son, the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha?"
Before Minato could speak, the Third Hokage Hiruzen had already sighed, "Yes, I watched Naruto grow up. When I died, he had just taken part in the Chunin Exams. I never imagined that in the blink of an eye, he'd be this big."
Senju Tobirama then noticed that Naruto wasn't wearing any standard flak jacket for Konoha's Chunin or above, and couldn't help but say, "He's still a genin?"
Logically speaking, with the strength of a Jinchuriki, no matter what, at this age, he shouldn't still be wasting time as a genin, right?
Sakura coughed a few times when she heard this and explained.
"Naruto previously went to train with Lord Jiraiya and didn't have the chance to take part in the Chunin Exams. But now, he's the hero who saved Konoha."
Senju Tobirama nodded, his brows furrowed tightly, and looked toward Hashirama, "Big Brother, the current battlefield situation is extremely urgent. Even the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has entered the fray and is near death, and even the Nine-Tails within him has been taken. No one knows what the enemy will do with the Nine-Tails. We can't waste time here any longer."
Seeing this, Senju Hashirama fell into hesitation.
Although he really wanted to talk to Uchiha Sasuke about the story between himself and Madara, to resolve the doubts in Sasuke's heart, the situation seemed truly pressing.
After all, this version of himself revived through Edo Tensei had already approached the power level of when he was alive. Although the student of the Hiruzen, Orochimaru, was very talented, he still couldn't control him.
He couldn't help but look at Sasuke and sighed, "Why don't we support the battlefield first and talk later once everything's over?"
After speaking, he added, "Sigh, no matter the era, there's always war."
Uchiha Sasuke, however, looked at Obito with a strange expression.
Others might not be able to guess the identity behind Obito's mask, but how could he not?
He said coldly, "If you think the war is urgent, then right now, maybe there's no need to rush."
"Because the mastermind behind the war is right in front of you!"
"What?", Everyone present was shocked and couldn't help but follow Sasuke's gaze toward Obito.
Senju Tobirama sternly asked Sasuke, "You're not joking with me?"
Sasuke had no fondness for this Second Hokage who always said "Evil Uchiha," and coldly replied, "I went to find Orochimaru this time and had you revived with Edo Tensei just to find a way to deal with him."
"You saw it too. He possesses extremely troublesome space-time ninjutsu and terrifying strength. Even I'm not his match."
The aura that Senju Tobirama had just calmed down suddenly erupted once more. This time, he looked toward Obito. Because he understood the Uchiha very well, he could already confirm some things from the cold chakra Obito was exuding.
"You're from the Uchiha clan too?"
Obito didn't intend to hide his identity at all and naturally replied, "Yeah."
Senju Tobirama's aura peaked, "As expected, a naturally evil Uchiha brat, I'll now…"
However, Tobirama was suddenly suppressed by the chakra that erupted from Hashirama.
That chakra was so overwhelmingly powerful that even Orochimaru, who usually maintained a calm face, had cold sweat appearing on his forehead.
Obito's heart also skipped a beat. Although he had met Hashirama in his past life, even without entering the Six Paths mode, Hashirama was not someone to be taken lightly.
Senju Tobirama was puzzled, "Big Brother, the enemy is right before our eyes, and you…"
Senju Hashirama replied, "Calm down. Don't forget, it was he who brought people here earlier to have Minato treat the wounded."
After speaking, Hashirama looked toward Obito and asked, "What exactly is going on? Uchiha, which side are you on?"
Obito shrugged. Playing the role of Indra in front of Madara was an interesting thing, but when it came to the naturally dim-witted Hashirama, he had no such interest.
He admitted frankly, "Naruto was captured by me personally. The Nine-Tails in his body was extracted according to my plan. As for saving him… you could say it was part of a scheme, but also a sudden whim."
This was indeed what Obito truly felt. Before Madara became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Obito didn't want any unexpected changes to the plan.
Who knew if Naruto, upon going to the Pure Land, would meet the Sage of Six Paths and then return with Six Paths powers?
A Six Paths Naruto was basically a war god. Even though Otsutsuki Kaguya's combat awareness wasn't strong, she still possessed possibly more advanced space-time ninjutsu than he did.
Yet even so, she had one arm chopped off by a single flash and chop from Naruto.
At that time, Naruto's speed had already surpassed human thought. No matter how powerful space-time ninjutsu was, didn't it still require conscious thought to activate?
So, saving Naruto might actually weaken the Allied Shinobi Forces' strongest combat power.
Of course, besides not wanting to see a Six Paths Naruto, the most important reason was that Obito had been moved by Kakashi's attitude.
If Kakashi hadn't rushed alone toward the Ten-Tails and confronted him and Madara, he wouldn't have made a move.
After all, Kakashi was his dearest friend. Even if it was the Kakashi of this world, it was the same.
Though he spoke business with Kakashi on the outside, in his heart, it was all brotherhood.
