Uchiha Obito—
You certainly came quickly!
Looking at the man in the swirl mask with the black background and red clouds on the rooftop opposite his window, Minato's expression remained calm.
In Minato's view, there were three "animals" (pieces of trash) in Naruto.
The third was Uchiha Itachi, who personally slaughtered his own clan.
At his core, it was because he lacked understanding of the world, was overly confident in his own talent, and had been hoodwinked into mental illness, blindly believing in the narrow-mindedness of his clansmen.
He was the typical example of someone stupid but unaware of it, thinking himself clever—thinking without learning leads to confusion; he was simply brain-damaged, the type Minato looked down on the most.
The second was Shimura Danzo. Almost all the nonsensical, troublesome affairs in Konoha were created by him.
Selfish, self-righteous, dark-minded—there was nothing good to say about Konoha's scapegoat.
And the first position belonged solely to Uchiha Obito.
The number one ungrateful wretch in Naruto, who carried the concept of returning evil for good to the extreme!
"I am Namikaze Minato," Minato said with a calm smile. "Can't you even recognize your own teacher? Obito——"
"!!!"
During the Nine-Tails incident, the Eye of the Moon Plan hadn't even started yet, and it wasn't time to collect the Tailed Beasts. Honestly, Minato had never been able to figure out for all these years what possible reason he had to attack Konoha.
During the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox Incident, the Eye of the Moon Plan hadn't even begun, and it wasn't yet time to collect the Tailed Beasts. Honestly, for all these years, Minato had never been able to figure out what possible motive he could have had for attacking Konoha.
Generally speaking, even if a normal person were to "turn dark," they wouldn't immediately lash out at their own friends and family.
But Obito? He went straight for the Fourth Generation couple first!
He targeted the two people in the village who had taken the best care of him, aside from Rin.
He even held a grudge, blaming the Fourth for not coming to the rescue in time and mocking him as useless?
So, in the middle of a war, he expected Minato, the village's top combat power, to act as his personal bodyguard?
It's that classic "If you're so strong, why didn't you come sooner? If you had come sooner, they wouldn't have died!" type of mentality.
In comparison, even Danzo seems like a decent person.
Minato didn't intend to let such scum off the hook, whether it was the Obito of this world or the Obito of his own world.
There's no need to say that "nothing has happened yet, so he's innocent."
As a member of an organization that functions as a violent institution with a certain level of military discipline, he was always late for team meetings and lacked even the slightest shred of ninja professionalism.
Following Minato on a mission, he disobeyed orders and took unnecessary risks, putting the entire squad in danger.
In the original storyline, there were already signs of Obito's animalistic instincts.
Minato was not the mild-mannered Minato from the original story. As someone who had experienced the internet age in modern society, he knew very well that in this world, there were more "fake people" than actual humans.
So, for Obito, he not only wanted to kill him, but also destroy his spirit!
With a flash of golden light, Minato appeared before Obito.
Noticing Minato's speed, Obito's pupils shrank abruptly.
So fast!
Even with his Sharingan active, he hadn't seen how Minato got there.
After elementalizing with the Glint-Glint Fruit, one could pass directly through light-transmitting materials, an advantage not possessed by other Logia-type users.
Swish—
As long as it was within his line of sight, Minato could appear at the target location with speed nearly equivalent to teleportation.
Witnessing this inconceivable speed, Obito's heart sank slightly.
"This speed... as expected of the Yellow Flash. Even if it's a child from a parallel universe, he's still not to be underestimated."
"Spare me the pleasantries."
Minato looked at the person before him with indifference: "Who are you?"
"Just a ghost of the Uchiha."
Seeing Minato's attitude—completely disregarding him—Obito felt an inexplicable surge of irritation and instinctively used the prestigious name to bluff: "However, people in the past used to call me—Uchiha Madara!"
"Pfft—"
As soon as the words fell, the corner of Minato's mouth twitched into a scoff: "Don't make your daddy laugh. Uchiha Madara was arrogant by nature; even if his face were covered in acne, he wouldn't be so sneaky, hiding behind a mask to conceal his appearance."
Hearing this, beneath the swirl mask, Obito's face turned livid, and he instinctively wanted to retort.
However, Minato continued before he could: "But since you're hiding behind the Uchiha name, it means you must have some connection. Most likely, you're just a pawn that old geezer pushed out, right?"
"..."
Obito was silent for a moment.
In the past, whenever he invoked this name, his opponents would inevitably be intimidated by it.
Yet this kid before him, this parallel universe counterpart of the Fourth Hokage, had dismantled his facade with just a few words.
"Heh, let's just say you're right—"
"Wrong again. Going by Uchiha Madara's personality, at this point, he should let out three loud laughs and then casually toss the mask aside."
Minato shook his head lightly, stuffing Obito's words back down his throat.
"I have single-handedly defeated the Kage of the other four great ninja villages, and I have seen many people during that time. You have none of the bearing of a strong individual; you're just like a clown relying on some crutch to act mysterious. So, stop pretending; you're making me cringe."
...
...
Obito became increasingly silent.
Underneath the mask, his young face flushed bright red.
After so many years of being darkened by darkness, he had always thought his heart was long since dead and unmoved by external forces.
Yet now, he had been broken by just a few words from Minato!
And to make matters worse, he couldn't even refute it, because Minato had hit the nail on the head!
If it weren't for the ability of his Kamui Mangekyō, he wouldn't dare to infiltrate Konoha alone, not even if he had ten times the courage.
"I'll ask you one last time: who are you? Think carefully before you answer."
Minato looked at the swirl-masked man before him, relaxed and composed.
It wasn't that he looked down on Obito; if this guy actually had the guts to take off his mask, he wouldn't mind having a proper chat and reconsidering how to handle the Obito from that other world.
But if this guy kept hiding his true face, then Minato wouldn't mind letting him experience just how low the bottom line of a modern person could actually go.
After a long silence, Obito stared straight at Minato.
Then, he slowly raised his hand, as if to remove his mask.
In the next instant, from beneath the swirl mask, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan suddenly unleashed a genjutsu!
His raised palm reached out toward Minato's shoulder.
Got him!
Obito felt a sense of relief, sneering inwardly.
To dare look directly into a Sharingan... it seems he's nothing more than this—
However, the very next moment.
Clang—
The sound of a mirror shattering rang out. Obito's movements stalled slightly as a pair of crimson Three-Tomoe Sharingan appeared suspended within his mental space!
"Sharingan?!"
Noticing this change, Obito's heart skipped a beat, and he looked with disbelief at the little blond guy who had appeared in his mental space.
The blond figure raised his head, the tomoe in his eyes spinning and merging rapidly, ultimately blooming into a pair of eight-pointed star-shaped Mangekyō Sharingan.
"This is impossible! You are not Namikaze Minato!"
The scene before him completely shattered Obito's perception. He instinctively tried to break the dōjutsu, only to discover with horror that he couldn't shake this terrifying eye power in the slightest!
"This kind of eye power—it's not what an ordinary Mangekyō should possess. Who exactly are you?"
"I am Namikaze Minato."
Minato smiled calmly. "Don't you even recognize your own teacher, Obito————"
"!!!"
