Naruto, aspiring to become a well-known figure in the ninja world

Volume 109: The Hokage said there must be a war
“It’s someone I don’t know…”
Minato Namikaze let out a long sigh and threw the broken mask in his hand aside.
When the smoke and dust cleared, a large pool of white blood was revealed on the ground.
Huge pits appeared on the ground and the tree trunks, as if silently telling how powerful Minato’s full-strength Rasengan was just now.
Obito was drowned and injured to death.
Looking at the white face full of hatred and unwillingness lying in a pool of blood, Minato shook his head helplessly.
Although he had an indescribable sense of familiarity, he really didn’t know this person.
Minato seemed to have thought of something and lifted the masked man’s eyelids. One side lost its highlight and the other side revealed a dark and deep void.
The expected magatama did not exist.
Why did he pretend to be Uchiha Madara? Why did he attack Jie Yuejun? All the doubts could not be explained because of the death of the masked man.
“Although you are an enemy, you are not bad.”
“Strange vitality, space-time ninjutsu comparable to Flying Thunder God, the ability to turn the body into a virtual entity…”
Minato had to admit that this was the most difficult enemy he had ever encountered, second only to the Abby Combination. In a way, this guy was even more difficult than the Abby Combination of Kumogakure.
Minato Namikaze would feel uneasy if he allowed such a powerful enemy who was hostile to Konoha to roam around.
People live to feel at ease.
This time, the masked man assassinated Jie Yuejun, who had the Flying Thunder God Seal and had mastered the fixed-point transmission ninjutsu. What about next time? Next time, if the masked man attacks other elders of the village, can we prevent him?
But Minato wasn’t worried about the elders of Konoha other than Kaizuki-kun…
To say something outrageous, except for the Sandaime, even if the other elders were really assassinated, it would only affect Konoha’s prestige in the ninja world, which would not be a big deal.
What if…the masked man attacks Kushina?
He is the Hokage, and it is impossible for him to be with Kushina 24 hours a day. Moreover, the day of Kushina’s delivery is getting closer and closer…
He had just tested the masked man’s strength. Apart from his ability to assassinate someone and then flee thousands of miles away if his strike failed, and his ability to make his body become virtual to avoid attacks, his own ninjutsu skills were not that advanced.
Probably… at the level of an elite jonin?
However, facts are facts, and facts speak louder than words. The enemy’s two strange abilities cannot be ignored.
The masked man’s ability was activated too quickly, so only he, who was a yellow flash, could dodge it. Moreover, Kushina was not like Killer Bee from the Hidden Cloud Village, a perfect Jinchūriki, and the power of the Nine-Tails could not be used normally.
If the masked man assassinates Kushina on the day of her giving birth…
Minato Namikaze couldn’t help but shudder. The consequences were simply unimaginable.
Fortunately, the unknown masked ninja died here, and was killed by him personally in the Konoha Forest.
The huge noise caused by the Rasengan could be heard from far away.
Soon, the Anbu and the police ninjas quickly gathered around Minato Namikaze.
Looking at the divine robe swaying in the breeze, Uchiha Fugaku took the initiative to step forward and said, “Fourth Hokage, what’s the situation?”
“Huh…” Minato nodded: “The intruder has been killed by me.”
“Let’s arrange for the sealing team to come and collect the bodies later.”
“Minister Fugaku, please lead the team to strengthen the village’s defenses tonight. And the Anbu, do not let your guard down and make sure that there are no blind spots in the patrol within the village.”
Uchiha Fugaku looked at the body lying in front of the tree, his eyes flickering: “Are you saying that the impostor who claims to be Uchiha Madara may have accomplices?”
“We can’t rule out this possibility. After all, there was no warning for this attack on Konoha.”
“In short, it’s better to be careful.”
“Minister Fugaku is also requested to attend an emergency meeting at the Hokage building tomorrow morning.”
After making arrangements for the funeral.
Minato clapped his hands and the scenery around him changed. The next second he arrived at the location of the Flying Thunder God Kunai held by Gojo Kegetsu.
He looked around: “Is this… the Monument to the Heroes? Jie Yue-jun, why are you here?”
Namikaze Minato looked in the direction of Gojo Jieyue and saw the traces of the battle on the old tree. The trunk seemed to have been swept by Ōnoki’s Dust Release, and a small, smooth and regular hole appeared.
Minato stepped forward.
“Nothing. I felt that the mysterious masked man would appear here, so I came here on my own.”
“But he ran away as soon as he saw me. He was probably worried that I would summon you again.”
Gojo Kegetsu said this casually as he wiped the dust off the portraits of Nohara Rin and Obito that were stained by the recent battle.
“Why, then he went to the base in Konoha Forest?”
“Yes.” Namikaze Minato nodded: “I hit him with another Rasengan and he is dead. I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but when he appeared again, he was in a worse state than when he was first injured.”
“Hmm? Did you kill him?”
This is really… a pleasant surprise.
However, is Obito so easy to kill? And from Minato’s reaction, didn’t he realize that he was Obito?
Gojo Jieyue was a little worried and asked, “Have you checked the enemy’s bodies?”
“After checking, it was found that he only had one right eye, and it was blind. His heart was completely pierced, and there were no signs of life.”
“Blind?”
Gojo Jieyue narrowed his eyes.
I immediately realized that this was Obito using Izanagi. However, for Obito in the one-eyed state, using Izanagi was no different from being dead.
Regarding Izanagi, Gojo Kezuki’s understanding of this forbidden technique was not profound, or he could only understand it halfway. Danzo used it to reset the state on the spot, and Uchiha Madara used it to fake his death and escape from the Tobirama Research Institute after a long period of time.
Where is the limit of resurrection?
Gojo Jieyue couldn’t figure it out, so he simply gave up thinking about it and turned to ask an expert in the field.
And… maybe this can be made into a trap for Black Zetsu~
That guy Black Zetsu might be watching from some corner right now.
“Have you arranged the personnel?”
“The Sealing Squad has been assigned to seal the body, and Minister Fugaku is also on site to maintain order, so there won’t be any trouble.”
Gojo Jieyue nodded.
Although it was a pity that he failed to take away Obito’s right eye and failed to obtain the bug eye technique of Kamui.
But it’s not completely without gain.
The seeds of doubt have been planted in Uchiha Obito’s heart. It would be better if he died, but if he was resurrected by some kind of reincarnation technique, Impure World Reincarnation, Izanagi, etc….
No matter how much he doesn’t want to believe it, he will start to think about what he said when he comes to his senses.
Should he just fight with Black Zetsu, or confess everything to Nagato, or should he be disheartened and tell Konoha everything… It’s not like he will just go down this path and refuse to face the reality.
As long as it is not the last possibility, it is enough to make Black Zetsu sick.
Maybe, he can even avenge Madara-sama and betray him.
Gojo Jieyue praised: “You are really good, Minato. You can add another achievement to your resume: [Killing a powerful man with Mangekyō Sharingan].”
“Hmm…wait, the Mangekyō Sharingan? What do you know, Jieyue-kun?”
“I saw it.” Gojo Jieyue said softly, “Just now at the Monument to the Heroes, when he was about to escape, the pair of eyes I saw through the mask were the Mangekyō Sharingan.”
“Is he really Uchiha Madara?” Namikaze Minato asked subconsciously: “But when I take off the mask…that face is not him.”
It’s no wonder that Minato wanted to overturn his previous conclusion.
After all, the Mangekyō Sharingan is extremely rare.
Even according to the historical records of Konoha Village and the secret inheritance from Naruto, there are very few Uchiha clan ninjas who awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan in the history of the ninja world.
It can’t be that this ninja just appeared out of nowhere. Such powerful strength must have been honed by shurikens and explosive tags.
“What are you thinking? Uchiha Madara is from the same era as the Shodaime. How could he still be alive?” Gojo Kegetsu rejected it outright: “He just wants to use Madara’s name to intimidate the lunatics in the ninja world.”
“Then who is he?”
“Who knows?”
Gojo Kegetsu shrugged and had no intention of revealing the truth to Minato for the time being, so as not to affect Minato’s ninja way.
His beloved disciple who died in the war came back to life and wanted to attack the village, so he killed him with his own hands.
This kind of thing would be very depressing to know. After all, Kushina used to cook for Obito, but Naruto didn’t have this treatment.
“Anyway, the first stage of this assassination has come to an end.” Gojo Jieyue stretched and instructed, “Oh, Minato, when we have the meeting tomorrow, remember to pretend to be grief-stricken and reveal the news that I am dying.”
“We are about to start the second phase of the plan.”
“Ah? But Jieyue-kun, aren’t you fine?”
“And what is the second phase?”
Even though he hung out with Gojo Kegetsu all day long, Namikaze Minato still maintained the simplicity and original intention of a ninja, and his head did not have as many dirty calculations as Gojo Kegetsu.
Gojo Jieyue explained in an exaggerated tone:
“Smoke bomb, it’s a smoke bomb!”
“Because I want to have some fun!”
“Minato, don’t you think this is very exciting? The highly respected Gojo Kegetsu, who has countless beauties, is about to die, and those female ninjas who have been at odds with him and can’t tell his true feelings have put aside their past prejudices and come to his side regardless of everything!”
“All those ninjas who were wavering in their stance and had received favors all came together to share a common hatred for the enemy upon hearing this news! They should unite their thoughts and fight together!”
“Those enemies hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity, jump out one after another. These are impurities that cannot be found normally and have no suitable reason to be removed!”
“It’s like I’ve become the protagonist of the ninja world. Everything revolves around me.”
Gojo Jieyue opened his arms:
“The most important thing is that this is a knife. No one outside knows who the mysterious masked man is, but he is who we say he is! As the victim, I have the final say.”
“…”
Namikaze Minato’s eyes were dim, and he felt a familiar feeling: “Who do you plan to kill with this sword, Jieyue-kun?”
“I’m quite greedy. When the enemy hands me a knife, I naturally want to make the most of it.” Gojo Jieyue licked the corner of his mouth greedily: “The Land of Grass, the Land of Rivers.”
“???”
“Why these two countries… And the Grass Country is our ally for now. We are also about to sign a transit agreement with the River Country.”
“The Grass Country is like this. On the one hand, they are allies with us, and on the other hand, they have joined the Kumogakure Co-Prosperity Sphere.” Gojo Kegetsu spread his hands and said, “Plus, there is also a ‘ninja’ in the village that I am very interested in.”
“The same is true for the Kawakuni. There is a ninja there that I am very interested in. In addition, they also charge a toll from our Konoha. Just because of a little geographical advantage, they can make money from our Konoha without doing anything?”
“The little ninja village is in trouble, and there is already a way to kill it.”
Robber, robber!
Namikaze Minato was hesitant to speak, as he always felt that what Gojo Kegetsu proposed was completely contrary to the decision of his ancestors.
As mentioned in “The Will of Fire”, the original vision of Konoha’s village was peace in the ninja world… I wonder how the first generation would react if he knew that Konoha had initiated an invasion.
But after spending a long time with Gojo Kegetsu, Minato also understood what false peace is and what true peace is.
Now we have to give “The Will of Fire” a new era of mission and vitality.
Minato sighed, chose to obey and expressed his concerns: “If we take action against these two countries, Kumogakure will not sit idly by.”
“Hey! What are you talking about? We launched a special military operation in the ninja village. It is a decapitation operation to defend the dignity of the village. We will only kill the evil leaders and will not touch a single needle or thread of the villagers in the Land of Grass and the Land of Rivers!”
“If the Kumogakure personally intervenes, it will be upgraded from a special military operation to a ninja war!”
“After all, I don’t ask for much. I just want two ninjas and to kill some people who are against Konoha. The old guys in Kumogakure will defend me.”
“This… I hope so.” Minato thought about it and found that it seemed to be true.
If this situation were applied to their “ancestor” the Sandaime, and if the Hidden Cloud Village launched a special military operation with the same excuse and only wanted two insignificant ninjas and killed some people from other villages, they would probably compromise.
“Then why not include the Rain Country?” Minato drew inferences from the previous example and made his own suggestion: “Let’s conclude that the three countries jointly planned a terrorist attack against Konoha.”
